am trying to discover how to organize the pages i want to create for my
site. Basically i want to create a wiki where people can write
tutorials to share with others and make that
page-creation process as painless as possible. May i ask, is
there a simple way to organize wiki pages into categories? I
would love if the left-side menu bar i currently have could be expanded
or an alphabetical categories list page could be set up.</div></div></blockquote><div><br>
Hi: <br>
<br>
Who's your user-base - will your users all get any instruction before
they begin to contribute, or will some participants need an intro to
wiki and a little "yes, you really can click 'edit'" hand-holding? <br>
<br>
Do you already know what most of the categories will be, so you can
pre-populate a list and then have an "Other" category, where material
can go until it gets reviewed and distributed?<br>
<br>
Have a look at the "NewPage" recipes - maybe one of these would be useful:<br>
<ul class="dlcol">
<li><a class="wikilink" href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/NewPageBox">NewPageBox</a> : Provide a form to create new pages (simple)
</li><li><a class="wikilink" href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/NewPageBoxPlus">NewPageBoxPlus</a> : As <span class="wikiword">NewPageBox</span> with additional options
</li><li><a class="wikilink" href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/NewPageForm">New Page Form</a> : Adds a new page using a form (more advanced)
</li><li><a class="wikilink" href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/AddPageForm">Add PageForm</a> : Add pages without having to place their name on another page first</li>
</ul>
Do you want to use the existing "Category" tagging, or will you use
wikigroups to organize you content? If tagging, then get your
Category wikigroup set up:<br>
1) Create Category.Category<br>
2) Create Category.GroupFooter<br>
