Howto Information[edit | edit source]

As time permits and as volunteers come forward, HOWTO articles will appear here...it is one of the main goals of this site.

New:

  • Keyboard shortcuts are very handy. If you don't use your keyboard more than your mouse, then does that make you a mouseketeer?
  • PHP is the scripting and programming language that powers much of the worlds' websites (including this one). The time has come for me to add a section to this site providing some organized tips for using PHP.
  • I finally decided it was time to learn how to (re)build a Linux Kernel. I wanted to use a USB flash memory device, and unfortunately, Debian Sarge is not well-equipped to do so like more desktop-oriented distributions like Mandrake or Suse. Upgrading my Debian Sarge distribution to use the 2.6 Linux kernel, plus the udev system will hopefully solve this for me.
  • Video Editing describes how to take your home movies off your digital camcorder (miniDV format), put them on your computer, edit them, convert them to a compressed format or other format suitable for posting on the web, or burning them to DVD and CD for sharing with family and friends.

HOWTO[edit | edit source]

Help using this website: See the main wikipedia[edit | edit source]

There is a volume of 'help' information available at the main wikipedia site, so that effort is not reproduced here. See the Help Table of Contents

Please see documentation on customizing the interface and the User's Guide for usage and configuration help.

Linked Images[edit | edit source]

By default, this system is configured to show an image and link to it's description page. Sometimes, you want to use an image to link to a page of your choice. There are many ways to make mediawiki link images, but the most convenient that we settled on here is to use the Icon extension The syntax (described at Icons) is 

{{#icon: Info.png|Info|24|Special:Help}}

Also, [[Media:foo.pdf]] would produce a link to a pdf document, so [[Media:Ejbdesignpatterns.pdf]] produces a link to http://freephile.com/wiki/images/6/6d/Ejbdesignpatterns.pdf
