Hello Clickers,
Host of Please login to see this link. here - there's a major update heading towards ClickWiki over the next week or two!
Since it's launch in 2015, we've been using MediaWiki to document Clickteam products, features and extensions. It's hosting is now running out and it's time for renewal.... or is it...?
A light bulb blinked at the start of this year that we could spice up this project, particularly as I work as a front-end web developer as my day job.
ClickWiki is now turning into a static site, powered by Please login to see this link. and Please login to see this link.. This offers a number of advantages:
- It's static, there's no database. (No waiting, no hacking, nothing to corrupt)
- GDPR is coming up -- a new data protection law in the EU. ClickWiki will no longer be storing any personal data, such as user logins to edit the wiki.
- It's open source -- you can edit practically anything.
- Our MediaWiki instance were prone to cache issues and the random "internal errors".
- Going serverless reduces costs.
- Offers flexibility -- the wiki is now portable.
- If you don't know Git (version control) already, this is a great opportunity to learn!
- If need be, you could have a copy on your computer for offline use.
What's changing?
- We will use GitHub Issues to track missing content and website problems.
- The syntax is now Markdown.
- Instead of logging in, you propose changes by forking the repository, committing changes and creating pull requests.
If you've previously contributed, thank you! Please note we will credit you from the original copies.
