Dennis Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I kind of agree. MediaWiki (the software currently being used) is not my favorite. There are other alternatives (wiki.js for example). If you have any other alternatives, please let me know. That being said, MediaWiki works just fine. The UI is not great, but it is the layout that most people associate with a wiki. IIRC, the help page once ran on another theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could technically have everything centralized except for the main index. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 The only issue with having everything the same place is that there is a single point of failure. What is the wiki system for Invision? Any documentation on it? Also, as I stated before, MediaWiki works just fine and has been working for years. It's just due for a visual makeover. There are a few modern themes that could be applied.

You mean CMS lol they re-branded it again.. But yes in the ACP it's called "Pages" which we do in fact have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case then you could just copy the entire CSS and HTML/PHP coding from the main page and make an index in Pages/Content and use Pages as the main site. The only downfall to this is if the forums go offline for whatever reason, so does the homepage. Unless it's not using the IPS Wrapper in which case it will not be affected. I use Pages for all of my game servers' rules pages and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudNine Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Mediawiki is only as good as what you make it, look at fandom or gamepedia, both are based on mediawiki and yet because of the mods they use provide and incredible experience and source of information.

Aeioyoo Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) On the same note, we REALLY need some proper docs of the SDK for use in ironpython custom scripts, the variables are well documented but the functions are a mystery without decompiling DLLS, and using the example scripts etc. (E.g. TCAdmin.SDK.Misc's functions like the compression tools) Custom scripts are really one of the best things about TCA, with the extensive integration into mod manager, and actions. Just wish they were more accessible. Edited April 7, 2020 by Aeioyoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 I think we need a central location for a knowledge base right now there is kb articles on WHMCS (https://clients.tcadmin.com/) and on https://help.tcadmin.com/ it should be all in one place.

Kelvin Williams Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 The power of MediaWiki is in the content you create. Examples include fandom and gamepedia, two websites built on MediaWiki, yet they both provide an exceptional source of information and a unique experience to calculadoradeporcentagem.
