Wiki APIs? Groups, users, permissions
Hi: Now that we've started ramping up our wiki, I can see that the next pressing issue is keeping a handle on users, groups and permissions. To that end, I would like to know anything related to possible APIs which would allow us to easily read: What workspaces there are What permissions are granted on each To whom (individuals and groups) are the permissions granted What groups are involved, and who are their members Within a group, who has moderators status? Is anything along this line available?
Page parent and sibling edit permissions?
We previously discussed (Rename page and URL not available to full-permissions user ) giving full-permission non-admin users the ability to rename and change URL of pages, as it doesn't expand their powers beyond Create and Delete. Now that we're starting to produce wiki content in earnest, we now see a significant pain point around refining a page's parent-child and sibling relationships to other pages. To that end, we need to grant permissions for non-admin user to rearrange pages (using the site
Following up on recent messages
Hi, I would greatly appreciate responses to a couple of recent threads:: Page parent and sibling edit permissions? Wiki APIs? Groups, users, permissions Thanks!
Moving page from one workspace to another didn't adjust all src/href links to embedded content
Just an FYI, since I don't have a precise repro for you. I created a page and a child page within one workspace, and later decided to move it to a different workspace. I made the move using the Site Map. The page and child page appeared in the intended location. The child page had a number of images on it (so imgs where src point to the attachments) and also links to attached PDFs (so a tags with hrefs pointing to the attached docs.) The attachment files themselves (as listed at bottom of page) were
Drop image on editor not quite working right
The feature where you can drag an image from Windows Explorer and drop it in the editor is pretty slick, except it seems not to be working quite properly. Assuming Firefox, with the editor (Advanced) open: You drag an image from Explorer into the editor area, and a gray mask (zwfreezediv) appears over the page. If you now drop the image into the page, all goes as I think designed. However, if you don't drop the image, but instead drag the image back out of the window, the grey mask stays, and there's
Organization Wikis explanation?
When I'm logged in with one of the accounts I created (but not others), on the page https://[xxx].wiki.zoho.com/mywiki.do I see an additional tab called "Organizational Wikis". Also the top right menu bar has an item Control Panel, which doesn't seem to work properly -- it pops up a dialog titled Organization Control Panel, which is otherwise empty, and shows a "Loading..." indicator. I'd appreciate an explanation of what this is all about, as it differs from other accounts. If it's not applicable
Permissions Add Users Groups List: Larger please!
On the Permissions > Add Users dialog, when Group Users is selected, there's a link Select Group which brings up a Group List. Currently the Group List dialog opens showing only 2.5 list items, so almost always requires scrolling for us. That dialog could easily be expanded from its current 246px high to 500px high like the Contacts List dialog that appears for Individual Users > Select Wiki Users. Thanks, - Graham
Groups Invite Friends: Larger entry slot for email addresses
On the Groups management panel for Invite Friends, could we please have a much larger text-entry box for entering email addresses? Space to be able to paste at least 20 email addresses, and verify that they pasted OK, without scrolling. Thanks! - Graham
On accounts > zoho apps menu, there's no link to wikis
If a user starts at a wiki, and uses the three-bars "hamburger" menu to select My Account, they get to: https://accounts.zoho.com/u/h#home On that page, there's no way to navigate to wikis. There's the top-left 9-boxes ("Apps?") menu, which lists every kind of service imaginable, except not Wikis. Could Wikis be added to that menu/panel? [Editing to add:] I've just noticed that a second occasion where a user will arrive at the My Account page is right after signing up for a Zoho account when responding
Groups invite feature can't see shared contact list?
I am trying to use the Invite Friends (ie: add members) feature of the Groups page: https://accounts.zoho.com/u/h#groups/allgroups with a particular group selected. I select the Invite Friends button. I'm attempting to use the Choose from Contacts feature, which shows the My Contacts dialog. Unfortunately, this only finds contact listings actually directly owned by the account that's logged in, in category All Contacts in the My Contacts column on the Contacts page). I need it to find Shared Contacts,
Despite promise, theme tags changed, messing up custom CSS
In post https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/zoho-wiki-custom-css-scope-and-base-theme on Oct 1, I asked which theme I should adopt as a base for applying custom CSS. Reply from Revathi Priya said: "We assure you that the page structure, tags will not be changed and that will not affect your Custom CSS ." and gave an example of Cornflower Ribbon. So I did a lot of work based on Cornflower Ribbon. And today, three weeks later, I see that the html has changed, messing up some elements to
Could Contacts be added on accounts home page?
Hi, As discussed in previous issues, when trying to understand zoho (in my case, particularly wiki), there's been a challenge understanding that: Groups are a feature owned by user accounts (not by a particular wiki), and that Groups contain members, and these are usefully managed as Contacts But where is the Contacts UI, nothing seems to point to it? It does make sense that the UI for Groups that a user owns can be reached from the page at https://accounts.zoho.com/u/h#home: I think it would be
Troubleshooting WYSIWYG editor bare text and extra divs problems
Hi Revathi Priya, (This overlaps what I added to a post yesterday, but I wanted to make sure you saw it for possibly helping devs.) The following custom CSS does a pretty good job of highlighting and rapidly showing the editor problem: ============================= body#zwIframeBody p, body#zwIframeBody ul, body#zwIframeBody ol, body#zwIframeBody li, body#zwIframeBody td { color: #252525; } /* Temporary editor styles for troubleshooting "bare" text */ body#zwIframeBody { color: #F0F; }/* Firefox
WYSIWYG editor not working in IE
I tested with Internet Explorer 11.0.9600 on Windows 7-64. Several things aren't working in the editor in IE, making it basically unusable. Controls that don't work: Font combo box Font size combo box Style combo box (though it does track, if you've placed headings in the text by some other means. Insert Table Ironically, other than all this, in IE the editor seems to do a better job avoiding the bare text problem! - Graham My issue tracking Id: GWZ1022
Editor: Advice needed about its near future
Hi Revathi Priya , I posted yesterday in the Wiki Bugs forum, regarding problems with the WYSIWYG editor, discovered since the improvements to the Styles combo box. Today I'd like some advice how to proceed. We're hoping to open our wiki to a wider group of editing users, and need to know how to guide them. The questions: 1. Is the WYSIWYG editor intended to leave some of the text "bare", that is, unenclosed by any tags (such as p, or li), or should it prohibit that? If it is supposed to ensure
Rename page and URL not available to full-permissions user
When we accord "all permissions checked" to a user, that user gets Create and Delete (page) permissions. Yet for some reason, zoho wiki is not presenting the UI for (Page) Rename and Change URL. The screen shots compare the Page options menu for the owner and full-perms member. The blue boxes indicate owner permissions not provided to members. You can see Rename and Modify URL perms are omitted. This is a significant inconvenience, and makes no sense if the user is allowed to delete and recreate
Editor: How to get all the toolbuttons?
Hi, I see on this page: https://zohowikihelp.wiki.zoho.com/WYSIWYG-Editor.html that the editor can show lots of tool buttons, there arranged in two rows. Then I see that the My Editor settings allow choosing "Advanced Editor" with checkboxes to show those buttons: But when I go to the actual editor, I don't see the full set of icons: Am I missing some additional trick to get all the buttons to appear? Thanks, - Graham
Zoho wiki Groups, Contacts, Workspaces questions
Page https://www.zoho.com/wiki/enterprise-wiki.html gives an overview of Workspaces and Groups which looks very useful, especially combining the two. However, I'm having difficulty discovering how this is reflected in the product, possibly just due to my failing to discover docs. 1. Docs talk of "Enterprise Wiki". This is just a way to use the more sophisticated features of ordinary or paid zoho wiki, right, not a separate Enterprise Wiki product? 2. Contact List: As described on https://zohowikihelp.wiki.zoho.com/Wiki-Permissions.html
Editor problem: Normal = p-tags, but default is no tags?
Now that the editor Style combobox is working nicely, I've noticed that the "Normal" styling doesn't behave as expected. My expectation is that on starting a new page, or after hitting return after a heading, the editor should default to Normal style, and enter text within p paragraph tags. However, it does not. Instead, the editor seems to default to entering text not wrapped in any tag, so just raw text inside the overall enclosing body#zwIframeBody (or span#contentArea in the normal page view).
WYSIWYG editor Style combo box is broken
Although zoho's WYSIWYG editor is remarkably full-featured and nicely behaved (compared to similar in-browser editors on other wiki and blog platforms), there are several problems with the Style combo box which in combination are serious. the Style drop-down is too narrow to show the style of the currently selected text. Even if made wider by changing the CSS, the code behind the page apparently applies an "abbreviate with ellipses" function to the text,making it so short that you can't tell which
Custom CSS parsing error
There's a bug in the mechanism that checks uploaded Custom CSS as follows. If a rule mentions "position: static" it somehow causes the parser to remove commas from font-family rules elsewhere. This seems unbelievably unlikely, but it's very repeatable. 1. Starting with a fresh wiki. I used Cornflower Ribbon theme, and moved sidebar to left. 2. Prepare and upload CSS as follows: /* ------------------------- Buttons: Edit, Page options, Create new ------------------------ */ table#parent div#editlink,
Account unconfirmed link is broken
This page: https://wiki.zoho.com/createdomain.zhtml shows a message: "Your status in Zoho is still unconfirmed. Please confirm your user status using this link and try again." in which the link points to: https://accounts.zoho.com/u/h#profile/email ... which is broken. Apparently it should be: https://accounts.zoho.com/u/h#profile/useremails
Custom Page Box bugs and issues
Hi, Several issues with Custom Page Box. (That is: Settings > Customization ... Side Panel > Add element > Custom Page Box.) 1. Having created a Custom Page Box in the wiki, how do I re-use it in a workspace? 2. Having created a Custom Page Box, it then appears in the Navigation. How do I stop that from happening? Hmmm, this appears to be the same as this problem from 6 years ago: https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/how-to-hide-this-custom-navigation-thing%3f 3. Worse yet, somehow things
Workspace fatal permissions problem for custom CSS and images
Hi folks, From experimenting, it seems that workspace users who don't have read access permissions on the containing wiki don't get the wiki's custom CSS and other asset files like logo. This means that even though the workspace has been styled to use the parent wiki's CSS and assets, users who only have permission on the workspace and not on the wiki don't see the styled version of the workspace. So this seems to force either the containing wiki to have Public Read permissions (or at least providing
Flaky Side Panel edit behavior
Somehow we've got wiki fablabsd into a state where the Side Panel editing feature (Settings > Customization) is not working properly. By the time you read this, it may or may not still be broken, but I will describe the current symptoms. The core symptom is that adding the Incoming Links widget (followed by Save button of course), has no effect on the wiki display, and the Incoming Links block is missing from the DOM (td#incomingLinks). More destructively,I have seen the wiki get into a state where
What customizations can a Workspace inherit?
I'm having some difficulty understanding what customizations a workspace can inherit from a wiki. Here's what I found from testing: Settings > Themes: Choice of base theme: Workspace inherits wiki theme if set to "Use wiki theme as workspace theme". The rest of the items assume that setting. (Does this fact affect the Settings > Customization settings?) Settings > Customization (top of page to bottom) Bottom panel enable/disable: I couldn't find any combination of this radio button setting (with
Permissions panel checkboxes: better but still doesn't communicate "unchecked"
Hi, Following up on my previous post: https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/permissions-panel-gratuitously-confusing-and-too-easily-destructive ... For the panel in "editable" state, I see that the "unchecked" state is now represented by a grey check mark, which is better than the previous colored check box. However, the grey checkboxes communicate that the state is "checked, user change prohibited". It does not communicate "unchecked, and can be changed". I note that the checkboxes are
Confused about wiki ownership and payment
Hi Revathi Priya, I am a little confused about how best to approach ownership and payment for sites. Payments via the Upgrade button apparently add user capacity to a specific user's account, distributed among whatever wikis they own, and not for a specific wiki. Next, if we want to transfer ownership of a wiki to a new owner, the new owner doesn't take over either the user capacity or billing for this existing wiki. I'm assuming that the new owner could then pay for the appropriate capacity, but
Groups: How to apply?
Based on a couple of pages of docs, and previous support conversation, I have been able to create groups, add users to them, assign permissions to a group, and so on. However, I'm not understanding how best to apply them in practice. The central problem is that apparently a Group and its membership roster belongs to a user , it's not a feature subsidiary to a wiki. This seems to mean several rather problematic things: Only the user who owns the group can invite members to it (and also remove them).
Additive CSS for workspaces; how to?
I want to provide custom CSS for workspaces that generally follows the main wiki CSS, but adds a small number of rules. So I would like to have workspaces load the same CSS file as the main wiki, plus an additional CSS file custom to each workspace. 1. It appears that supplying a custom CSS file for a workspace causes that workspace to load only that CSS file, and not the wiki's CSS file. That's understandable, though not what I want. I could duplicate the wiki CSS in each workspace's file, but
Navigation widget "Add pages" tool-tip is incorrect
On the sidebar navigation widget the title has a tool-tip saying "Navigate pages" . However, the tool-tip also pops up when hovering over the circle+ icon whose function is "Add page". This makes it seem that the circle+ icon is for some additional navigation function (perhaps to expand nodes in the widget), but instead it opens a dialog to add pages, of course. Fix: Add a tool-tip (title attribute) to the span that implements the circle+ button. Issue: ZGW1013.
Permissions versus roles docs?
Is there a doc somewhere which spells out exactly what permissions are allocated to each role? I'm particularly interested in all the permissions that Owner and Admin have that members do not, and also the differences between Owner and Admin. Thanks! - Graham
What is the mywiki.do functionality about?
Hi folks, [Sorry this message likely previously got posted to moderation queue, as forum picked up wrong user when I first posted it.] When logged in to a wiki, if you choose Hamburger menu > My Home, you reach a page at https://[wikiname].wiki.zoho.com/mywiki.do, with several tabs, including My Wikis. Each wiki listed shows two links, one with the name of the wiki, and the other with a URL to the wiki spelled out. The latter takes you to the wiki as expected. But the former does something strange.
Some dialogs position outside browser window
The following menu items grey out the current page and put up dialogs outside the bounds of the current window. This gives the appearance of the browser being dead. Page options menu Copy to Add subpage Hamburger menu Support Observed in Firefox latest on Windows. Using a multimonitor system. Works fine on center monitor, but when the browser is on the left or right monitor the problem occurs. Apparently the dialogs are positioning relative to desktop, but can't be seen when they are outside the
View Image issues
First, is there a widget, setting or embedding method which allows us to place an image into a wiki page at a reduced size (that part is easy!) appropriate to the page, but allows users to click to expand image to see details? I didn't find a way to do this, so as a fallback I tried using the browser View Image function, and also the drag-image-to-new-tab method. (I tried Firefox and Chrome latest versions.) However, that method doesn't work on zoho wiki images. Instead, the browser puts up an
Site map widget for page or nav bar
I've been looking for how best to present navigation to users on zoho wiki. I have seen the following, each of which has shortcomings: The nav sidebar navigation widget, but that's limited by how each time you explore a branch it closes other branches, and also omits the top of the tree as you drill down. The Site Map, which shows the complete site, but (a) is painfully slow due to using a very slow animation speed and (b) for edit-enabled users, it is always in "drag to rearrange our pages" mode
Docs for Delete wiki are incorrect or outdated?
On page https://zohowikihelp.wiki.zoho.com/Delete-Wiki.html, the instructions for deleting a wiki don't seem to correspond to the actual site. Steps from the instructions: Login [OK] Go to Wiki menu > Dashboard [OK] There's no list of wikis on that page. However, if instead we go to Hamburger menu > My Home, we do see a list of wikis. (Except in some cases that page seems to have a "Organizational wikis" tab which the My Home menu item goes to. Not sure why. But in that case choose instead the

Zoho Wiki custom CSS scope, and base theme?
I have been testing the custom CSS feature, and am very encouraged to see that it can apply to any area of the page, not just the content. To deploy this in earnest, a couple of things could use additional illumination: 1. For which pages type does zoho wiki include the customer-supplied CSS file? Yes for wiki pages obviously, and also for the Dashboard page, but not for Settings. Also Yes for the page editor, apparently. Anyhow, rather than figuring this out by trial and error, could we have a list
