From norman at astro.gla.ac.uk Sun Jan 7 11:32:36 2007 From: norman at astro.gla.ac.uk (Norman Gray) Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2007 16:32:36 +0000 Subject: [Instiki] Exporting text from Instiki Message-ID: <27B8AF41-9AE5-427E-847F-CFD6254B5234@astro.gla.ac.uk> Greetings, Can anyone give me advice about exporting content from Instiki (I think I've got version 0.10.something -- how would I double-check, as rb_src/script/server doesn't appear to have a --version option?). The `export' links on the wiki produce zero-length .zip files, exporting either Textile or HTML markup. Instiki 0.11 includes instructions for migrating the content from 0.10 to 0.11, where the export functions presumably do work. However, I don't really want to go that route if I can help it, because the reason I want to export the content is because I want to migrate away from Instiki, precisely because it requires these extra installs (sorry!). I started using Instiki precisely because it was a no-frills standalone wiki, for note-taking. I can see the existing content in the *.snapshot files, but parsing them doesn't look like much fun.... So is upgrade then export the only option?

The big plus with Junebug is (finally) user authentication, which should cut down on spam for a while. Minuses are its relative (to Instiki) lack of features: no search, no backlinks, no user lists, no multiple wikis etc etc. However, on my Windows machine it seems much faster (even though I had to run it with the -t switch due to - possibly - some problem with the daemons gem) and it is quite pretty out of the box. It works flawlessly, as per the instructions, on my Mac. I've yet to test if the same Wiki can be run on either a Mac or a PC, but I've no reason to believe it can't (Instiki does, as do most Rails apps). Definitely one to watch.

I'm talking about forking and releasing a version of i2 I've hacked on. i2 is available here: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/tools/i2/trunk Its around a year old, so of course you don't see a lot of the newer Rails idioms and there is probably deprecated stuff there, too.

Once that is done, the developers will need to figure out where to take instiki. (like the comments regarding i2/mephisto/beast/etc) One thing that I've been having problems with is is that though I can download the version 0.11 from sourceforge and run it with no problems, when I use the command svn co http://svn.intiki.org/tags and get the 0.11version, it doesn't seem to work and I just get a blank page. Has anyone else run into this? This is preventing me from creating a patch of what I've done.

It has Ruby on Rails Container so I installed Instiki easily on the server. It works fine most of the time but sometimes it suddenly shows "Status: 500 Internal Server Error" and I have to restart the application. Do you have any idea to fix this problem? Is this a Media Temple's problem or Instiki's problem. I'm using version 0.11.0.
