NuWiki's Main Menu is added to the NavBar when NuWiki is installed (you have to modify the navbar template).

Here is a sample of the NuWiki Main Menu:


In this case, the only article configured to be shown is 'Main Page'. You can add as many article titles as you'd like.

If the article exists, clicking on the link will take the user to the article. If the article doesn't exist, and the user has permissions to create Wiki articles, the link will take the user to the 'Create New Article' page.

The Recent Changes link is added always to the bottom of the NuWiki's Main Menu (controlled by a setting in the Usergroup Permissions). The Recent Changes page will show a list of the articles that have been recently changed.

Default Forum Id where new articles are created

Enter the id for the NuWiki Forum where New Articles are created if no other forum is specified.

NavBar Mode for NuWiki Forums

This setting controls what links are shown in the Navigation Bar (NavBar) when viewing a NuWiki Forum or NuWiki Article.

Show Forum Index in NuWiki Forum Main Page

If set to 'Yes' an alphabetical index of all articles in the NuWiki Forum is added at the bottom of of the NuWiki Forum Main Page.

Enable NuWiki Auto-Links

If set to 'Yes', NuWiki Auto-Links are enabled. NuWiki will scan all posts and threads added or edited in a background process that runs every 10 minutes (the schedule can be changed from Admin CP > Scheduled Tasks > NuWiki Cron).

Notice that you have to configure which forums will be used as the sources for NuWiki Auto-Links from NuWiki Forum Manager Settings.

Remove duplicate NuWiki Auto-Links from posts

If set to 'Yes', NuWiki will only create an auto-link for each term/article title once per post.

Show Book Index the Table of Content for NuWiki Articles?

Enable #REDIRECT in NuWiki Articles?

If set to 'Yes' (default), then redirects will be enabled. Redirects are NuWiki Articles which contain #REDIRECT target title as their sole content.

Enable Forum Headers

If set to 'Yes', NuWiki's Forum Header functionality is enabled.

Forum Headers allow you to add a block of text or images to the top of the forums where Forum Headers are enabled.

Forum Id Where Forum Headers will be stored

This is the id of the forum where the content of Forum Headers will be stored. This forum must be a NuWiki Forum. You can use any NuWiki Forum, or you can use a forum dedicated solely for this purpose.

This setting must be set, for Forum Headers to function correctly.

Prefix for Forum Header articles

This is the prefix used to name Forum Headers internally. This title is only shown when editing a forum header. Forum Header articles are named by adding the forum id to the prefix specified in this setting.

It is recommended that you do not change this setting after Forum Headers have been created.

Prefix for SHOWTHREAD Forum Header articles

If the setting 'Enable NuWiki Forum Headers in SHOWTHREAD' is enabled. You can choose to show a different forum header when viweing a thread. Simply specify here a prefix different than the one used for Forum Headers.

Soft-delete revisions upon rollback

If set to 'Yes', when an article is reverted to a previous revision (rollback), all disacarded revisions are kept, but marked as deleted.

If set to 'No', all discarded revisions are physically removed from the database.

Include title keywords in keywords meta tag

If set to 'Yes', all keywords in the title of an article are added to the keywords meta tag when the article is shown.

Keywords stop words

Enter a list of words that should be excluded when generating keywords from an article title.

NuWiki Custom Fields Map

Enter the list of thread fields that will be accessible from NuWiki Articles through the FIELD NuWiki BBCode.

Notice that NuWiki doesn't create custom fields at this time. Instead this feature can be used to access any existing field currently existing in your forum's thread table.

For instance, let's say that your thread table has a field named 'customfield1', and that you want to make it accessible to NuWiki Articles as 'car model'. Then the NuWiki Custom Fields Map should be set to:

customfield1 => car model

And you can access this field by entering the following in any article:


[field]car model[/field]

Enable the use of SQL Sub-Queries

This setting should be left set to 'Yes', unless your site is running a PHP version older than PHP 4.1.

Enable Diagnostic access for NuHIT Staff

Leave this setting off, unless instructed otherwise by NuHIT's staff. Turning this setting on will allow NuHIT's staff (filtered by NuHIT's router IP) to access NuWiki's diagnostic screen.
