How To Use the CCB Wiki

We encourage you to change the contents of a CCB Wiki web page and to add your own web page topics - that is what a Wiki is all about !

Edit a Wiki Page

Locate the rectangular tab containing the words "Edit this Page"
Click the button.
Enter a CCB Wiki user name and password if prompted to do so.
Edit the page using the Wiki Text Formatting Rules
Preview your changes to the wiki web page by clicking the rectangular button labelled "Preview Changes"
Once you are satisfied with the web page, save the changes by clicking the "Save Changes" button.

Add a Wiki page

A Wiki web page is considered to describe a specific topic. To add a new topic:

Edit an existing Wiki page and add a WikiWord defining the name of your new Wiki topic.
Preview and Save your changes to the existing web page. Your new Wiki Topic will have a small question mark inserted after the word. This means the new topic has not yet been created.
Click the new topic.
Enter a CCB Wiki user name and password if prompted to do so.
You will be viewing a Wiki Edit web page. Enter the contents of your new topic.
Preview the changes and revise until you are satisfied (see above for details). * Save the changes to your newly created Wiki Web page.

Adding Images to a Wiki page

*See "Attaching a file to a Wiki page", below.

Attaching a file to a Wiki page.

You may at time want to associate an external file with a CCB Wiki topic. Examples of this might be to add the detailed agenda of a meeting, or a spreadsheet table containing experimental results,and so forth.

To do so,

Ensure the file is on your local computer.
Click the button labelled "Attach a file". You will be asked to locate the file you want to upload, and to supply a comment that describes the file.
Click the "Upload File" button at the bottom of the upload page.

Your file will be sent to the CCB Wiki web site and a table of file attachments to this web page will appear at the bottom of the web page if it not already there.

If you select the "Link" checkbox before uploading the file and it is an image format recognized by our Wiki software (Twiki) the picture will appear in the web page. You may then Edit the page (see above) if you want to modify the text before the picture, or it's location on the web page.

Deleting an attached file

Locate the attached file in table of files (usually at the bottom of the wiki web page).
Click "Manage"
Click "Move Attachment" (at the bottom of the management web page).
Choose "Trash" from the drop-down Web menu of projects.
Type "TrashAttachment" into the Topic text entry area.
Click the "Move" button to delete the attachment.
