---+!! Some Hints on using our Cbm Wiki %TOC% ---++ General Advices ---+++ The prime Directive *Don't be lazy reading hints!* The very simple rules to use this wiki are published here and on the welcome page of every web (if there are special conventions at all). ---++ Using the CBM Wiki ---+++ How to start using this Wiki * Read the [[System.TwentyMinuteTutorial][20-Minute TWiki Tutorial]] * Read the [[System.TextFormattingRules][page about text formating.]]. * Play around in the Sandbox.WebHome * All help topics are listed in the [[System.WebHome][TWiki Web]]. Have a closer look on the [[System.WebHome#Short_Reference_Guides][short references]]. ---+++ How to join the Group of Wiki Authors 1 Have a look at the list of registered users: %MAINWEB%.WikiUsers * If you find your name there: Fine! * If not - register: Use any browser to go to this page: %SYSTEMWEB%.UserRegistration and register yourself 1 Have a look at the list of our existing user groups: %MAINWEB%.WikiGroups * If you find your name in the group(s) you want to join: Fine! * If not: Tell *somebody who is a member of the group* you want to join, that he should add you to the list of members. * If you want your own, new group ask an administrator. 1 After you are a member of any group, basically you can read any topic and normally you are able to edit topics of your group. ---+++ Access rights * All users who are a member of <b>any group can basically read the whole content</b>of our wiki - except the topics which were explicitly blocked by the author(s). * All other people on the planet cannot read the content. However in some cases it is possible to list the topics' names. * Exceptionally, read-only access is granted to the Sandbox, the Main web as well as to the TWiki web. * Conclusion: We have a fine grained group management, however we should not use it by default - this is the idea of a wiki: System.WikiCulture * That's why currently only the "CbmAllGroup" is actually used. * Restrict access to a group only if it is *really* necessary! ---+++ Special Webs * The [[Main.WebHome][Main Web]]: This system web contains the user and group database, as well as the _Wiki ID Cards_, which are created during registration. Normal users have read-only access. * The [[System.WebHome][System Web]]: This system web contains the settings database and the help topics. This is read only stuff for normal users. * The [[Homepages.WebHome][Homepages Web]]: You want (not) to publish private topics - so put them here. * The [[Sandbox.WebHome][Sandbox Web]]: The playground for any user - no restrictions, no warranty for correctness and availability of content. ---+++ Where to place your Documents The web layout of this TWiki site *at first mimics the group and project structure* of the CBM collaboration. Thus, if you want to add a new topic, then deliberate about who is most likely going to read this document and place it in the related web. %BR% If you have doubts about your conclusion, then it might be a good idea to place a link somewhere in the concurrent web to the newly created topic. %BR% ---+++ How to structure your Web Content Basically it is up to *everybody* who feels responsible to structure the content of the webs. For example you want to publish several topics related to a single subject? So think about writing an entrance page with a _table of content_ which is compiled of System.WikiWords of your different topics. In addition try to guide the user to different sub-topics by placing hints and links on the !WebHome (welcome) topic of your web.%BR% %I% In the background TWiki provides a parent-child relation between topics. A topic is a child to the (parent) topic which was displayed while going into edit mode for writing the newly created (child) topic. This relation can be altered by choosing a new parent from the _More topic actions_ menu at the bottom of each topic. These relations are also used by some plugins, like the System.TreePlugin which provides nice features for automatically created topic overviews. ---++ FAQ ---+++ Forgotten your password? Go to this [[System.ResetPassword][page]], fill out the form, and the administrator will approve your new settings. ---+++ You want to change your password? So use the form on this [[System.ChangePassword][page]]. ---+++ A trick how to learn the usage of advanced TWiki Features There is a button "Raw Text" in the menu bar at the bottom of each topic. Click it, to read the topic's TWiki code. Then, cut-and-paste the good looking stuff from other authors ;-) . -- Main.FlorianUhlig - 18 Dec 2018
