Just downloaded this plugin and when I activate I get this error msg:
Warning: fopen(/home/thee/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wiki/wiki.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/thee/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wiki/mini-wiki.php on line 7
Error opening file in write mode.
Any suggestions?
You must set the write permission to the file wiki.txt.
Dzamir - It also appears to add slashes before apostrophes and quotes when it’s opened for editing, and doubles the number of slashes each time.
Quite slick otherwise. Thanks.
[...] pero remite a un archivo inexistente. ¿Missing? Tampoco encuentro el software autónomo MicroWiki. Wiki-Dashboard El único que me ha funcionado, quizás porque es tan sencillo que es imposible que falle. [...]
When using punctuation in our wiki we are getting the / — which seem to repeat with each editing.
Other than that - this is a great program for coordinating contributors. Because you can access via the WP control panel, and that is the one place EVERYONE logs in, we don’t have to retrain anyone other than have them look for the wiki menu.
Fabulous!
When using multiple users on the wiki, changes can be lost, for example if another person adds something while you are on there but you don’t realise, then you press save…all the other persons changes are lost!

I know, I started the work for the new version with the versioning history a few month ago but for now I can’t work on it because I’m very occupied :’(
Hey,
nice plugin. I love it because it is very easy to use.
I also saw the text with punctuation is getting changed uautomatically with EVERY call of the wiki.
After some calls my text looked like this:
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\”packen
I use your wiki especially for a kind of technical documentation. Unfortunatly it doesn’t work because of this bug.
For simple text it is very handy.
