NOTE: If you are outside of the office, you will need a password to access the Intranet. :)

Feel free to regularly browse the entire Intranet using the index shown at the left. Just select the area you would like to visit, and you will be taken there! Please feel equally free to update any and all entries that are in need of updating.

Again, WELCOME!!

Walking in the Light Because of Christ:

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

-- 1 John 1:5-7

As more and more contributions are made to the Intranet, you may want to take advantage of the relatively straightforward means to add, change, or delete content yourself. See the many helps and hints below:

There are some Basic Editing criteria you might like to become familiar with to make your page content and content updates more to your liking. Also, see Text Formatting Rules.

Also, check out the Documentation Index.

Don't be afraid of breaking anything. We can restore past versions of pages easily, and so can you!

How to Use the Intranet Wiki

Tip: Refer back to this page for help!

What IS "Wiki"?
- Wiki is simply the technology of anyone being able to simply and easily edit or create a webpage within a site. A staff intranet is a perfect candidate for a wiki because any member of the staff can quickly and easily update or add any page they choose.
How can I edit a page?
- Simple. There are links on the top right (and bottom) of every page (View, Edit, History, etc.). Simply click on the Edit link to edit the page.
When I go to edit the page, there is "code" and it looks confusing!
- Not to fear. I will explain this "code" in more detail shortly. It is called "wiki code" and is somewhat a simplified version of HTML. Please don't let it intimidate you because you don't always need to use it, but when you do refer back to this page for quick & simple answers... or visit the Basic Editing Guide for examples.
What if I mess something up?
- You don't need to worry about that either! The intranet keeps track of every change made to every page for the last 10 years, and can be restored to any previous version. Click on the History link on any page to see it's history, and to restore a previous version!

Text Formatting

When you click on edit and come to the edit screen, you will see some formatting buttons at the top. These may help you edit the page. The best way to learn is to click on Edit and look at the code you want to apply.

Links

Linking is made simple with wiki code. See below:

Link to a section in the wiki: Job Openings

[[Human Resources/Job Openings]]

Change the link text: View current job openings at Inquisicorp, Corp.

[[Human Resources/Job Openings | View current job openings at Inquisicorp, Corp.]]

Link to an external website/URL: http://www.sonlight.com/1A01.html

[[http://www.sonlight.com/1A01.html]]

Change the link text: Charlotte's Web on sonlight.com

[[http://www.sonlight.com/1A01.html | Charlotte's Web on sonlight.com]]

Open in a new window: Charlotte's Web on sonlight.com

%newwin%[[http://www.sonlight.com/1A01.html | Charlotte's Web on sonlight.com]]

Link to a file on the M Drive: file:///M:/Marketing Department/Articles/AudioConference.pdf

[[file:///M:/Marketing Department/Articles/AudioConference.pdf]]

Change the link text: Edu-Marketing Revolution Audio Conference

[[file:///M:/Marketing Department/Articles/AudioConference.pdf | Edu-Marketing Revolution Audio Conference]]

Open in a new window: Edu-Marketing Revolution Audio Conference

%newwin%[[file:///M:/Marketing Department/Articles/AudioConference.pdf | Edu-Marketing Revolution Audio Conference]]

Note: These links only work in IE. Also, IE9 increased security, so to make them work in IE9 you have to:

Go to "Internet options", then click the "Security" tab.
Click the "Local Intranet" icon, then click the "Sites" button.
Click the "Advanced" button.
The site "http://staff.inquisicorp.com" might already be in the prompt, and if so you can just click "Add". Otherwise, copy and paste it and click "Add".

Anchors

Sometimes you just have a long page and want to create "jump" links to different areas of the page. These can be done with "Anchors".

Set an anchor with:

[[#anchor_name]]

Then link to it on the same page with:

[[#anchor_name|link text]]

and to link to it from another page:

[[PageName#anchor_name|link text]]

Images and Files

In this section I will go over displaying images and attaching files.

Displaying images: All you need to do to display an image is type in (or paste) the image URL. You may do this from the internet, an attached image file, or the M drive.

Image from the internet:

http://sonlight.com/images/sonia/sonia5-small.jpg

Note: Find the image online you would like to post, right click on it and select "Properties" ... the URL is available there.

Image from the M Drive:

file:///M:/Sonlight%20Web%20Site/64.78.188.52-Merry-sonlight-LIVE/sonlight.com/images/bug.gif

Note: The URL for posting images from the M Drive must be formatted properly. It must begin with: file:///M:/, be directory delimited by forward slashes, and spaces must be changed to %20.

Image from an attached image file:

http://staff.inquisicorp.com/uploads/Main/sample.jpg

Attaching a file: Before I explain, let me recommend that linking to a file on the M drive is better for the following reasons:

No file type limitations.
No file size limitations.
If an edit needs to be made, you simply edit the file on the M drive, and don't need to "re-attach" the file.

Having that said, let's continue. Attaching a file is a two step process. Not ALL file types can be attached, but standard images and documents are fine (such as JPG, GIF, DOC, and PDF). There is also a file size limit of 10MB.

Step 1.

Type: Attach:file.ext , where "file.ext" would be the filename you wish your attachment to be called. Please do not give your attachment a very generic name or you might overwrite someone else's attachment, or yours might be overwritten in the future. A good example of a proper filename would be: web-content-writer-position.pdf.

Step 2.

Once you type in the Attach code, click save and go back to the page. You will see:

Attach:web-content-writer-position.pdf Δ

Which means you need to attach the file now. Click on the link, and you will (most of the time) be promted with a password. The password is secret. You will be taken to the upload screen. From there, browse for your file, give it the name you originally requested (web-content-writer-position.pdf) and "upload."

Tables

Tables are extremely simplified in "wiki code." The below example has some standard options set: border, alignment, background color, width, etc. These options are optional, and you may change them to suit your needs.

cell 1	cell 2	cell 3
left-aligned	centered	right-aligned

|| border=1 align=center width=100% bgcolor=lightgreen
||!cell 1      ||! cell 2  ||!       cell 3||
||left-aligned || centered || right-aligned||

First Name	Last Name	Age	Favorite Color
Ron	Ronaldson	30	Red

Tom	Thompson	38	Purple

||ZX Cyborg Model 2250 Unit# 37 |||| 4||%color=#777777%Gray ||
||Tom ||Thompson || 38||%purple%Purple ||

How to Create a New Page

All you need to do to create a new page, is to make a link to a page that doesn't exist. For instance, let's say I wanted to make a page in the Marketing section called: "Google Adwords" ... I would type:

[[Marketing/Google Adwords]]

Which looks like:

Google Adwords ?

... The Question Mark means that there is no content on the page. If you click on it and add content, the question mark will go away.

Note: If you want to add an item to the sidebar navigation on the left, click "edit SideBar" at the bottom of the sidebar.

That's all for now. There's more to learn if you would like, starting at The Basic Editing Section, and more to find at The Documentation Index.
