User talk:Maureen E. Hoatlin

hi there, you might want to consider using the naming convention: 'Hoatlin:Lab members' instead of just "Lab members", the advantage is that if you start all the names of your lab pages with "Hoatlin:" you can take advatage of the "De-wikify" feature of the site. For instance if you go to http://knight.openwetware.org, and compare it to http://openwetware.org/wiki/knight you'll see what I mean. Any page you browse to from there that starts with "Knight:" will remain de-wikied. Labs like this feature since it makes a more "presentable" frontpage to the world for their site (you can of course still edit the site via the wiki).

let me know if you have any ques about it.

thanks, Jasonk

Hi Jason thanks very much for the tip. First time using anything wiki. I love it. Hope this mail works. Please RSVP so I know you got it. -Maureen

I got it, glad youre enjoying the wiki - its been a great tool for us as well. also, you can also post messages directly on a user's userpage, e.g. User talk:Jasonk, then the user gets a little notice letting them know someone has left them a message. ill help you move those pages over for the de-wikifying, i just moved 'Publications' as an example. Jasonk

OK, should be all set -- check out your de-wikified lab page here: http://hoatlin.openwetware.org/ enjoy the site, keep up the contributions! Jasonk

HI Jason, So I would still use the wikified site to edit and then the published site wouldbe de-wikied, correct? -M

hi maureen, yeah you and your lab could just use the wiki for your interaction with the website. However, if you wanted to give out a link to an external party that would provide a more "professional"-looking site (e.g. doesn't have wiki stuff on the side/top) - you could just give them the URL: http://hoatlin.openwetware.org,and they probbaly wouldn't even realize it was a wiki. of course if they come upon the site via OWW they would see the wiki version. Both are still published to the web. jason

OK, love it. I will add link advertising openwetware in the de-wiki version. I am hoping to attract my fellow Fanconi workers who are scattered around the world. Just found out how to get text to appear when moused over!! -M

trouble with links

HI -I'm trying to put in some links in my replication club but I get error messages on some, saying something about cold fusion. Not compatible?

  • Sri Kosuri 17:03, 5 June 2006 (EDT): hmm.. i've never seen that before. Links could be added anywhere. Check out the wiki code for this page for some examples.
  • RS 17:21, 5 June 2006 (EDT): If you still have the problem. List the link here. You can put <nowiki>put_the_link_here</nowiki> tags around it so that you bypass the error. That way we can try it out too. (For instance, http://openwetware.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Hoatlinm.)

OK, here is one link (http://www.ohsu.edu/biochem/faculty/faculty.cfm?facultyID=28<nowiki>) and the other one is here (<nowiki>http://www.grc.nia.nih.gov/branches/irp/wwang.htm/<nowiki>)...may be different problems I think. thanks.
