Accounts, setting up new users
If you are reading this because you would like a user account, please contact one of the administrators listed towards the bottom of this section.
To create a new user account, login as an administrator and click here (full path: click the "Settings" link near the upper-right corner and then "Users" under "Access Control"). Near the bottom of that page is an "Add Users" form. When adding new users, give them the minimal access control that they need. If at a later time they need greater access, it can be upgraded.
When new users are added, they are automatically sent email invites. The email will include a link for them to click. This link will bring them to a page where they can enter the password they would like to use and (optionally) their name. If a user forgets their password, delete their account and create a new one for them. This will result in another email invite just like the first time.
As of March, 2008, the following administrator accounts exist:
Do not create new Administrator-type accounts without first contacting the wikimaster.
Files
When uploading files that have a limited life expectancy (i.e. they will become out of date eventually), such as a soccer camp flyer, begin the file name with the current year. Periodically, the wikimaster will go through and delete uploaded files from previous years.
The file list is normally sorted by file name. If there will be a number of files related to one area (such as U6 documents), begin all of those filenames with "U6". I recommend against including version or date information in most file names. For example, "U6_Coaches_Guide_version_1.2.pdf" or "2008U6_Coaches_Guide.pdf" are not good names. The problem with these names is that when a new version is uploaded you have to find all of the links to the old file and update them to point to the new file. You have much better things to do with your time! A better name for this file is "U6_Coaches_Guide.pdf". There are exceptions.
Conventions
-
Volunteer Job Description page names begin with "Volunteer -", which is followed by the job name.
-
Coach Biography page names begin with "Coach -", which is followed by the Coach's name.
-
Team page names begin with "Team -", which is followed by the Coach's last name and then team name.
-
Pages don't need a "Montclair Soccer Club" at the top as all of our wiki pages will already have this.
Formatting Tips
Some of this information won't make sense unless you are familiar with coding HTML.
-
You can use alternatives to numbers for ordered lists by specifying a specific style in the <ol> tag. You have to edit the HTML to do this (by clicking on the "Source" button). Below are some samples:
-
This is a regular numbered list using integers.
-
To use letters, as was used in this sub-list, add the following to the <ol> tag: style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;"
-
To use roman letters, add: style="list-style-type: lower-roman;"
-
When working with tables, right click in the table to add or delete rows or columns. This can be a little tricky for some browsers. For example, when I right-click in Firefox on a Macintosh, I get Firefox's context menu. The table edit menu appears underneath this menu. By left-clicking someplace else in the page, Firefox's context menu goes away revealing the table edit menu.

Templates
Any page can be used as a template, all you need to do is add the "template" tag to that page. When you create a new page, select one of your pages tagged with template in the new page dialogue. I believe that the ideal template page will be mostly blank, with just placeholder text to be replaced with real content. To add the "template" tag to an existing page, click the "+" near the lower-right of the page in the section labeled "Page Information".
