Wiki Extension like Wiki.js

KBExit

I tried Wiki.js, Media Wiki, DokuWiki, etc in the past and I think Wiki JS would be the closest thing that would fit Modern Flarum.
I just want something that's easy to use for all and support markdown.
This way we can write documentations in series and such, while utilizing Flarum's Scroller feature and an overall streamlined build that mimics the mobile first priority Flarum uses.
Media uploads, preferably utilizes FoF Uploads as the engine.
This extension should also double down with shortcuts that can be used in posts to quickly reference an article.
Feature to toggle comments on / off inside of the articles would be ideal.
Users can suggest edits and these edits should use something like Diff to make each edit obvious.
Option to have a post published in a specific category when an article is made. And this can tie back in with the comments on said article.
Obvious needs: category support and permissions for user groups.
If edits can utilize realtime, that's a big bonus. So a page refresh isn't necessary.
I will put money towards this myself later today.

As an option, I'd suggest MediaWiki with the Citizen skin. It looks modern, is easily customizable, is mobile-friendly by default, and has a dark theme and other appearance settings. The developer is constantly updating this skin, and examples of its use can be seen on some active projects.

I haven't tried Wiki js, and it might be a better fit. But having options is always good.

Personally, I feel that flarum's layout might not be ideal for wiki, there is too much spacing and other element in the post (avatar, buttons, etc), as compared to wiki.js or even the flarum's doc https://docs.flarum.org
I would rather setup wiki.js and let user oauth login to wiki.js

But since someone is already picking this up, let see how this goes

huoxin I mean the wiki could have contributors listed at the footer of the article with just the avatars hotlinking the profile.
What I suggesting would not be in the standard forum post layout, but rather it's own.

KBExit

SergeyTS as mentioned, I already have tried Media Wiki. What I want is something tied right into Flarum. This way sites that prefer a built in solution for conformity and simpler management, it's ideal. Plus those on managed hosts can benefit from it too 🙂

KBExit Initially I was thinking of something similar to the one in discourse, but since it's a layout on its own, I think should be fine, just a lot more complexity to the extension 😈

What about the knowledge base in this extension?

rafaucau based on a subscription model. I'm in favor of paying for something that all can benefit. This way my clients are free to use it too. I also like the idea of benefitting the users of the Flarum Ecosystem. I hate walled gardens. I appreciate that mention though.

Edit: and I don't think it's available for Flarum 2.0 (at least not yet).

Ralkage

WIP, should be ready by the end of the week if not sooner 🙂 (I tried to make the design as close to Flarum as possible)

KBExit

Ralkage it doesn't replace the functionality of the forum itself does it? Thanks!

Ralkage

KBExit it is its own thing and could be made to reference or attach discussions to a page if needed 😉 The URL would be example.com/wiki. The admin settings page for the wiki is similar to how Tags looks. Also, an example page would end up example.com/wiki/getting-started/2-how-to-upload-an-avatar. I tried to keep the design as close to vanilla as possible, but I think I went too deep lol

KBExit

Ralkage nah I think it's fine! It looks great! A live demo would definitely help fine tune it once it's near completion! Thank you for doing it!
