Wikitip of the day! Posted 12 Sep 2009 13:22
Short post today.
When you view a file attached to a Wikidot page, you may notice that the URL in the address bar has changed the domain from wikidot.com to wdfiles.com.
If you are, like myself, one to manually manipulate address bar URLs, you may be annoyed to find that you can't view pages from your wiki if you're in the wdfiles domain. That is, http://james.wdfiles.com/blog:50 will not work.

Today I was wikifused :-(
The new ListPages functions include the capacity to choose the “range” from your pages. That is, choose the pages before or after the current page.
[[module ListPages order="created_at" range="before" limit="1"]]
With the above code, I expected the interpretation to be:
- List all pages created BEFORE the current page
- Arrange them in ASCENDING ORDER (oldest to newest)
- Choose the 1st item (the oldest item)
Based on this logic, to retrieve the first page that is older than the current page, just change the order to descending:
[[module ListPages order="created_at desc" range="before" limit="1"]]

I can't wait for the wonderful autosave feature comes out… especially in terms of the Polls @ Wikidot application.
This application utilises nothing more than page titles to construct its interface. So when people go to create new options for their Poll, they need only type in the new option, and click the “Create new option” button.

Last night I went to see Australia, the film that has been the advertising giant of all films for the past six months.

My inbox had was intended to have this interesting life cycle:
- Recieve mail;
- Sort mail into folders.
But unfortunately, that didn't quite happen. Day after day my poor inbox is poluted with junk mail after junk mail. And I'm not talking about the kind from spam companies — I'm talking about the ones from my family and friends.
Now I don't mind the funny joke e-mails (in small doses), or the occasional "amazing photo" e-mail. It's just the chain e-mails that hooligans start up to create panic amongst ignorant computer users.
