--- Quote from: Grouch on February 29, 2012, 06:04:19 am ---I then turned to editing the Wiki and made it through the Introduction, which had no image files. But in Tutorial 1, I encountered a number of image files, some of which need to be changed. In the source file, the references to the images look like this:
[[Image:wxs_tut01_004.png]]
I understand that this is a reference to an image somewhere, but where and how do I get my images into that place? I search the help files but without finding anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, if your image is simply an updated version of a pre-existing image, you can click the image in question, then select "Upload a new version of this file". (By the way, I generally use tools like OptiPNG or PNGOUT on images before uploading them.)

This shouldn't happen. There is an automatic log-out after a while when not being active (for security reasons), maybe that's what happened. Just save more often, you can also mark the page as "under re-construction" for others to see you are working on. Additionally, make sure you copied the content which you had just changed to the clipboard before you click "save". Then you can easily restore it after successful re-login.

I make frequent use of the "Show preview" button to prevent my session from timing out.
Grouch:
Thanks. All of this information has been very helpful, and I have succeeded in revising the Introduction to the tutorials and Tutorial 1. Please have a look at them at your convenience.
The next step is to create two new tutorials. I have already written them but cannot find a way to create a new page in the Code::Blocks wiki. It is easy in Wikipedia, but the device used there does not seem to exist in the Code::Blocks wiki.
By clicking on the "Special pages" item in the left margin, I can find the source files for the existing tutorials, but cannot find out how to add one. "Upload file" seems to work only for graphics. What am I missing?

To create a new wiki page, I always do below: create a stub link like [[The title of the page you want to create]] in one existing wiki page, then this will show in red color, you click on the stub link, and the wiki system will prompt that this page does not exist, and you can create it. :)

You should click the "edit" table of the existing tutorial wiki page, and see it source then.
Besides Images, what do you want to upload??
Grouch:
Thanks ollydbg; that worked splendidly. I would never have guessed that method. It should be documented in the tutorial pages on editing.
You ask what else I wanted to upload. I had prepared the whole of the tutorial on my own computer and thought that it might be possible to upload that file. Instead, I used your method to get a blank page, then copied the text I had prepared to the clipboard, opened the blank page of the Code::Blocks site, and pasted my text into it. It is there now as Tutorial 8. Tutorial 9 should come tomorrow.
Thanks again.

Aha, you contribution is great!!! Keep the good work. BTW: I think "copy and paste text to wiki page" is the only way to write the wiki page. :)
