RaceTab Community Wiki:About

From RaceTab Community Wiki

This is a user guide that is created by the users of RaceTab, in partnership with its MileSplit. If you are not familiar with the term wiki, it is just a site that anyone can correct, complete, or add content to. The most common example is Wikipedia. We rely on you, our community of valued users, to help each other out and create this user guide. So look for the edit links throughout the site. Don't worry about making a mistake or vandalism... it keeps a complete version history so we can retrieve the old copy.

We are just getting this wiki started and will need to build out the content. Once that happens, this will become the official and exclusive site for RaceTab.

For details on how to use the wiki read the MediaWiki getting started guide.

Embedding a Video

This is a custom hack to that we created to make it easy to embed videos. It currently works with YouTube or Facebook videos only. Just take the URL of the page on YouTube or Facebook with the video on it, copy it from your address bar. And then paste it like so:

<video>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyUs3aAxrbY</video>

That's it. If you really want to you can set a width and height...

<video width="640" height="480">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyUs3aAxrbY</video>

But you don't have to do that because it will just set the default.

Adding Breadcrumbs

In another custom hack, we can add breadcrumbs to show where we are on the site. Just put in breadcrumb tags and separate each "crumb" by a comma. Home is automatically added at the beginning and the title of the current page is added to the end. Example:

<breadcrumbs>About This Site, Editing a Post</breadcrumbs>
