Usage Logging settings

Use this section to turn usage logging on/off (by default there’s no usage logging).

When usage logging is turned on, all page creations and updates are logged. Wiki Plus uses SharePoint lists as the log storage. In

order to support a large amount of log items, a usage log list is

automatically created for each year, by the name “Usage [year]”.

The list is structured with a hierarchical folder structure as follows:

Usage 2013 list

Folder

When usage logging is on, administrators can view this information by using the Wiki Plus administration reports (available from the

Site Settings page).

Wiki Plus Content Template List

Wiki Plus users can create new Wiki pages, based on existing content templates.

By default, Wiki content templates are stored in the “WikiPlus

Content Templates” list, located at the top-level site.

In case you do not wish to grant users permissions in the top-level

site (See “Permission Settings section”), you can create another list to store the Wiki content templates, located in a different site.

To create a new Wiki Plus content template list in a different site:

1. Go to that site’s “Site Settings” page.

2. Click the “Site Features” link and activate the “WikiPlus Library Feature”.

3. Now create a new list by using the “WikiPlus Content Templates” list template.

4. Select that new created list in the Wiki Plus management page, in the drop-down shown in the above screenshot.

Wiki Plus Localization

If you need to implement a Wiki Plus solution in other

language than English, you should read this section BEFORE

you create a Wiki Plus site.

All KWizCom components use .NET localization mechanism. This

means that a KWizCom component will automatically use a language resource files (.resx files) according to the displayed

application's language (this is true for all types of components).

KWizCom Wiki Plus includes the following resource files, located in “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web

server extensions\[12/14/15]\Resources” folder:

WikiPlus.resx

This resource file includes all the Wiki Plus captions and tooltips of Quick launch links, Wiki page menus / ribbon

menus (SharePoint 2010).

RAD resource files These resource files contain the translation strings for the

RAD editor which is used in the Wiki editor. With these files you can translate all Wiki editor’s parts, including: editor’s

toolbar buttons, tooltips and the various dialogs (such as

Insert document or Insert Picture popup windows). All RAD editor’s resource files begin with “Rad”.

If you wish to deploy a Wiki Plus site in any language that is supported by SharePoint, you need to follow the steps below

before you create the Wiki Plus web site:

1. Make sure you have the required SharePoint language pack

installed.

2. Open the “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\[12/14/15]\Resources”

folder.

3. Copy the resource file/s that you wish to translate and rename it according to the required language, for example:

Page 37: kwizcom sharepoint wikiplus administration guide...features make it the ideal tool for true cross-organization knowledge sharing. Wiki Plus is built on-top of SharePoint 2007/2010/2013/2016

37

Copyright © 2005-2017 KWizCom Corporation All rights reserved. www.kwizcom.com

copy wikiplus.resx to wikiplus.fr-fr.resx (which is the Wiki

Plus resource file required for a French Wiki Plus site).

4. Open the file in any editor and translate all <value> nodes.

Example:

<data name="editpage_toolbar_clonepage" xml:space="preserve">

<value>Duplicate Page</value>

</data>

5. Save the file.

6. Copy the file to “C:\Program Files\Common Files\ Microsoft Shared\web server

extensions\[12/14/15]\CONFIG\Resources” folder.

7. Open the command prompt, and type the following STSADM

command:

stsadm -o copyappbincontent

8. Now you can create the new Wiki Plus site in the required

language. You should see all Wiki Plus interface translated to the site’s language.

This node represents the "Duplicate Page" toolbar menu that appears in the wiki Edit page.

Override the <value> string with your own required string. This way you can change/translate all captions in the Wiki Plus user interface.

Creating a new Wiki Plus site / library

Introduction

After you set the general Wiki Plus settings in a site collection level, you can start deploying your Wiki Plus solution.

You can deploy Wiki Plus in 2 ways:

Create a Wiki Plus site/s (using the Wiki Plus site template).

Create Wiki Plus libraries in your existing SharePoint sites (using the Wiki Plus library template).

This enables you to deploy an enterprise wiki solution in various

configurations:

Team wiki – Create a Wiki Plus library in already existing

team sites.

Department wiki – Create a Wiki Plus site and use the

ready-to-use site template that includes Tagging capabilities, rating, wiki page discussions etc. (see detailed feature

description in the user guide).

Enterprise wiki – Create a site collection that includes Wiki Plus sites – one per subject.

This way you can support a very large number of wiki pages. The top level site should act as an entry point, including

custom web parts such as: Tag Cloud (included in Wiki plus), and “Subjects” (links to the various topics – can be simply

implemented with content editor web part).

Create a Wiki Plus site

Creating a Wiki Plus site is as simple as creating any other SharePoint site.

Simply select the "Wiki Plus" site template in the SharePoint's "Create site" wizard:

Page 40: kwizcom sharepoint wikiplus administration guide...features make it the ideal tool for true cross-organization knowledge sharing. Wiki Plus is built on-top of SharePoint 2007/2010/2013/2016

Making the WikiPlus site template available in different

languages

When you try to create a Wiki Plus site in another language, you will

notice that it is missing (the following screenshot in French):

To make the Wiki Plus site template available in some language, follow these steps:

1. On your SharePoint 2010/2013/2016 server, go to: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server

Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\1033\XML

Page 41: kwizcom sharepoint wikiplus administration guide...features make it the ideal tool for true cross-organization knowledge sharing. Wiki Plus is built on-top of SharePoint 2007/2010/2013/2016

41

Copyright © 2005-2017 KWizCom Corporation All rights reserved. www.kwizcom.com

2. Copy file WEBTEMPwikiplus.xml

3. Go to the required language’s folder below C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server

Extensions\14\TEMPLATE

for example: go to 1036\XML folder for French, and paste the

file there.

4. Edit the file and translate the site Description and the

DisplayCategory property values:

IMPORTANT

In SharePoint 2007, the DisplayCategory value MUST be

different than “KWizCom” in any site other than English site.

Leaving this property with the same “KWizCom” value will

make the WikiPlus site template invisible in that language.

Create a Wiki Plus library

You can add Wiki Plus functionality to existing SharePoint sites by simply creating a Wiki Plus library.

In order for this Wiki Plus library template to be visible, you should

activate the "WikiPlus Library Feature" site feature in the site where you want to create the Wiki Plus library:

Page 42: kwizcom sharepoint wikiplus administration guide...features make it the ideal tool for true cross-organization knowledge sharing. Wiki Plus is built on-top of SharePoint 2007/2010/2013/2016

Copyright © 2005-2017 KWizCom Corporation All rights reserved. www.kwizcom.com

After you activate the "WikiPlus Library Feature" feature, you will be

able to create Wiki Plus libraries in that site:

Manage Taxonomy scope

Introduction

A part of the Wiki Plus solution is the KWizCom Tagging feature

that enables the management of shared tags/categories by which wiki articles may later be easily found.

When a user creates a wiki page he can tag the page by using the

"Tags" field:

All tags that wiki authors use are collected and managed in shared

tags list/s, exposed in standard Tag Cloud/Tag Index web part which can be deployed according to customer needs.

As the application administrator, you can define the scope of these

shared tags according to the business requirements:

Site scope – tags that are shared only among team members

in a specific team site.

Page 44: kwizcom sharepoint wikiplus administration guide...features make it the ideal tool for true cross-organization knowledge sharing. Wiki Plus is built on-top of SharePoint 2007/2010/2013/2016

44

Copyright © 2005-2017 KWizCom Corporation All rights reserved. www.kwizcom.com

Site collection scope – tags that are shared across several

sites in a site collection.

When the Tagging Feature is activated in the site collection (this is one of the post installation tasks), it creates a tags list in site

collection level – shared by all Wiki Plus sites in that site collection.

You can create additional tags lists in various scopes for the usage

of various wiki sites.

For additional details about the Tagging feature management please refer to the Tagging feature user guide available in KWizCom web

site:

Configure permission settings

Before employees can start using your Wiki Plus site, you need to

configure their permissions.

By default, many Wiki Plus resources are installed at the top level site. This requires some permission settings that allow users to use

these resources.

Please follow the guidelines hereunder:

Step Details

Configure the “Knowledge Trustees” SharePoint group

1. This group should have permissions to save wiki templates. Grant this group contributor rights on the “WikiPlus

Content Templates” list, at the site collection level.

2. Join the relevant users to this group.

IMPORTANT:

Wiki Plus caches the Knowledge Trustee’s group

membership information for 1 min. This helps to improve performance because a user’s membership in the Knowledge Trustee group is

checked several times in Edit mode.

Configure users’ permissions

for your Wiki Plus site

1. Make sure all relevant users belong to the

site members group of your SharePoint Wiki Plus site (or inherit this permission

from the parent site).

2. If you have users that have a direct permission to the Wiki Plus site, and not

through a SharePoint group (NOT recommended!), you will need to grant

them a contributor permission on the “WikiPlus Discussions” discussions list in the Wiki Plus site.

Grant permissions on the top-level site WikiPlus

resources lists

If you wish users to use resources that are located in the site collection level such as

images, attachments, movie clips etc., you need to grant at least reader permissions to

all users on these lists (You have a list for

Page 46: kwizcom sharepoint wikiplus administration guide...features make it the ideal tool for true cross-organization knowledge sharing. Wiki Plus is built on-top of SharePoint 2007/2010/2013/2016

each type of resource in the site collection

level).

These lists include:

WikiPlus Administrative reports

Wiki Plus includes 2 administrative reports which are available in

various scopes: Wiki Plus library, Wiki Plus site, entire site collection:

Pages report – provides data on created/updated/viewed pages in a defined period of time.

Contributors report – provides data on contributors

(amount of created/updated pages for each one).

Page 48: kwizcom sharepoint wikiplus administration guide...features make it the ideal tool for true cross-organization knowledge sharing. Wiki Plus is built on-top of SharePoint 2007/2010/2013/2016

48

Copyright © 2005-2017 KWizCom Corporation All rights reserved. www.kwizcom.com

You can access these reports as a site administrator from the site

settings page, or from the Site Collection settings page:

In this case these reports will display results in the whole site scope (if for example it contains several Wiki Plus libraries), or in the site

collection scope (in case you have several Wiki Plus sites).

Migration of existing Wiki pages to Wiki Plus

Wiki Plus includes a content migration tool that enables you to

export existing SharePoint wiki pages and import them into Wiki Plus libraries.

If you already have a SharePoint wiki library/site deployed, you can

export its content to the Wiki Plus library using the Wiki Plus content migration utility.

The migration process includes 2 stages:

1. Export SharePoint wiki library pages from existing SharePoint

wiki library.

2. Import these pages into the Wiki Plus library.

IMPORTANT REMARKS:

When you export SharePoint wiki pages into a Wiki Plus

library, ALL pages from the SharePoint wiki library are copied into the target Wiki Plus library.

If the target Wiki Plus library contains some pages with the same names as the imported pages they will be

overridden by the imported pages.

You can choose to skip default pages like home.aspx and

how to use this wiki site.aspx in the import process

Wiki page links ("[[page name]] wiki markup) will be fixed

during the import process, so linked pages will stay linked as expected.

When you have images in a SharePoint wiki page then when

this page is imported into WikiPlus library, the image link will stay as is (linking to the image/s at their original

location).
