Wiki Discussion

I believe the comments about a page vanish after any update on the page, even if they are minor updates unrelated to the discussion. Please, can someone confirm it? If it is true, is it possible to update the page without erasing the comments? It was not my intention to delete them.

I will check this tomorrow. Maybe there's an option to keep them after a change or maybe it is a bug. It will need some investigative since the discussion feature is a plugin. I'll report back.


On an unrelated note, I made a gallery test: https://www.ff6hacking.com/wiki/doku.php...onster:ff6

A few things to note (try edit the page to see how a gallery is set up):

- Don't use the nochache argument when creating a gallery. This make images not load in totality and can lead to unresponsive page.

- The more lengthy is a filename, the less images you can fit per page. With regular filenames (3-15 letters), you can fit roughly 5x 64x64 thumbnails per row. Exceeding the available space for a row by either setting too big thumbnails, lengthy-lengthy filenames or too much images per row will result in an unresponsive page and changes need to be reverted.

- Uploading JPGs would allow to edit the image metadata (shorter/custom name, description, etc...). Uploading anything else has no metadata and you are stuck with no description or image title other than filename.

For more info on the gallery plugin: https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:gallery

Default settings:

Thumbnails: 64x64
images per row: 5
Sorting: EXIF title (filename for anything else than JPG)
Options (arguments): cache, showtitle and direct are enabled by default.

Edit: images upload can be done via the media manager or the edit page (for multiple images media manager is better). Do not upload more than ~150 images at a time (well 300 doesn't work) or the media manager will become unresponsive. This whole process made me swear a lot tonight but I think all those recommendation will make future galleries creation smoother.
