You can do this in the manage view alias ZMI. For This just add the term manage
to your folder URL. EG. if you have http://puredata.info/Members/pdlover/lovefolder
as a folder use the URL http://puredata.info/Members/pdlover/lovefolder/manage
- In ZMI configure your desired Zwiki permissions there in the folder's ZMI security tab; see http://zwiki.org/QuickReference#permissions .
- To enable subtopics display: set a true
show_subtopics
property on the folder. In ZMI go to the property tab and add a property with nameshow_subtopics
as boolean type and contentTrue
. - To enable subscription: Add a mail_replyto string property on your wiki folder. Put your email address, or dont_reply@yourdomain, or the wiki's mail-in address here.
- To jump-start your wiki with a set of default pages: visit !http://.../YourPage/setupPages while logged in as manager.

Hints
- By default, wiki pages are in the visible state and do not participate in workflow.
- Think twice before making many separate little wikis, fewer larger ones may be less confusing.
