Section Editing

Section Editing allows to edit a sub section of the page only. This makes it easier to change long documents. Section Editing is sometimes called Partial Page Editing.

I miss some functionallity in this case. When I edit one section, and a colleague wants to edit a different section, it is rejected with message “page locked”. Is it not possible, to edit multiple sections of a page in parrallel?

In DokuWiki each headline (usually only the first 3 levels) starts a new section. When a page is writable a small Edit button appears at the end of the section. Using this button loads only this section into the editor.

And what if we (two or more users, I mean) want edit diferent section at one time? It will be cool, if we can. (if Doku can save only editing section) It will be real partian page editing and collaboration work. (In MediaWiki I can do it!)

I've been using dokuwiki for a few months, and have some troubles with Section Editing. For some reason, when pressing the Edit button, the section you can edit doesn't include the headline entirely, and doesn't stop at the end of the section. I tried different browsers, but that didn't solve the issue. How can I solve this? — Ingmar van den Brink 2007-01-10 16:56

Do you use the linebreak plugin ?
Your description sounds like the bug of the linebreak plugin. – Uwe

Hej hej, to disable the section editing just set the maxseclevel in conf.php to zero. And be aware to reload your browser with crtl ;) — Sylvia B.

Is there any way to create sections without headlines, even blind, that is without changing indentation or space between paragraphs or adding a horizontal line? This would be a useful feature, for editing too long sections, for example, or for some plugins (firstseconly of the Include plugin). — az 2007-03-24 22:24

Just use a heading number high enough to not add horizontal line (usually h3..h6), and leave empty the heading text, as here. To avoid indentation change and the space between paragraphs generally you must modify the design.css file of DokuWiki. To avoid these locally (e.g. per page) you must use a local CSS. -BLA, 2007-06-02-

If I want to have an outline with edit links for each item in a given outline level (or at least the first few major levels), what are my options? When I try to create sections within the outline markup, the section markup is ignored and the markup displays as sourcetext (that is, the equal signs display).

I'd like to have the section Edit button not at the end of the section, but at the top — next to the section heading or aligned to the right (just like Wikipedia does). How can this be done? Answer: see the editsections plugin — efege 2007-07-08 04:13
