Table of Contents
For the DSpace Wiki, we tend to use two main types of Table of Contents:
Outline Table of Contents (numbered). For outline TOC (e.g. DSpaceResources), add the following to the top of the page:
Code Block {toc:outline=true|style=none}
Bullet Table of Contents (bullet points). For
normalbulleted TOC (e.g.
TechnicalFaqsee top of this wiki page), add the following to the top of the page:
Code Block {toc}
For more information on formatting a Table of Contents, see the Confluence toc Macro instructions
Redirect Pages
Note |
---|
No longer used, as the plugin expired. |
"Redirect Pages" are pages whose sole purpose is to redirect the user to a different location in Confluence. For the DSpace Wiki,
we use "Redirect Pages" to retain the location of the "Current Release Notes" at CurrentRelease Current Release. So, that CurrentRelease Current Release page will always redirect you to the Release Notes for the latest version of DSpace Software.
...
If you ever need to edit an existing Redirect page, just add ?redirect=false
on the end of the URL. For, example, use the following URL to edit the CurrentRelease Current Release Redirect Page: httphttps://fedora-commonswiki.duraspace.org/confluence/display/DSPACE/CurrentRelease?redirect=false
For more information on Redirect Pages, see the Confluence redirect Macro Instructions
Creating your own Personal Page(s) in Wiki
In our old wiki (MediaWiki), people tended to create personal pages of the form FirstnameLastname. In Confluence, you can create your own Personal Space by doing the following:
...
Once you have your personal space established, you can also create your own sub-pages of that space, which you can use for your own notes, thoughts, etc. You can even use this personal space as a basic "blog", by creating daily/weekly "News" items (see the Add -> News menu). For an example of this, see Chris Wilper's personal space (Chris is the Fedora Tech Lead).
- NOTE: If you want anonymous users to be able to view your personal space contents, you'll need to do the following:
- Visit your personal space
- Select "Browse -> Space Admin" in the upper right menu
- Modify your own personal space's "Permissions" to allow for anonymous user to View your space's contents (by default, only logged in users can view your personal space).
Migrating your old personal pages to your new "Space"
You may "migrate" your existing personal pages to your Personal Space by completing the following steps...
- under the tree list of pages, consolidate all your personal pages under your prexisting old mediawiki personal page.
- Go to you personal page in the DSPACE space, open your old personal page
- for instance: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/BradleyMcLean
- under tools, select move and in the dialog at the bottom of the page for space, select you personal space in Confluence.
- Saving will move the entire tree of personal pages into your personal space.
- Further, you may set the default page for your personal space to be your old mediawiki personal page under your personal space admin.
- all preexisting links to your name/pages will move accordingly to point at your personal space.
