Dnn 4.3.5 running localhost
Wiki 3.0

Well I first tried the Ktomics Wiki and found that when I used the outline features of the (core) rich text editor, the formatting would get messed up with extra linefeeds everywhere once I saved the page.  During page editing the outline format appears fine, it's after saving the page that everything changes.  So then I decided to download and try the Core Wiki module.

Now when I use the core Wiki with the rich text editor (logged-in as administrator) the outline format remains even after the page is saved.  Great!  However two odd things happen...

1) If a word ends with... Net ...a link to a new wiki page is automatically created.  If the word ends with... net ... this doesn't happen.  For example AspNet will create a new wiki page link.  Aspnet does not create a new wiki page link.

2) When I log-in as a user with more restricted privileges (though with edit permissions on the wiki), I can't get the rich text editor to appear.  I only get raw html in a text box.

Not sure if anyone has encountered this, certainly any insight would be appreciated.

Well after my original post I went to Snowcovered to look at the commercial Wiki modules that were available.  I noticed that Ktomics had their Wiki for sale.  I also noticed that it was version 1.5 while the free Wiki download is version 1.00.  They had a demo area for the commercial wiki on their website.  Version 1.5 does not exihibit the outline formatting problems that I experienced with the free version 1.0.

While I don't mind purchasing modules, I think the core Wiki is just as nice if I could only get the rich text editor to appear.  I haven't given up, my guess is that it has something to do with permissions or some other setting.  Dnn seems to be a lot like a treasure hunt.  If one searches long enough a solution can be found.  :-)

Jim, I'm not sure what's going on with the different version numbers, but I believe the version that Josh has on ktomics.net is the most recent, even though the version numbers don't match up.

That version for DL there is the one we're working with for the DNN Project, and will be what we plan to support for upgradability

Gee Chris that's sure some dedication, responding to my post, from someone that is in the process of getting married.  I'm not sure which will be the biggest adventure, marriage or Costa Rica, but I hope you have a lifetime of great memories associated with both.

Well as a result of your comment I went to the Ktomics website and downloaded the PA module again.  I installed it on a different dnn test site and found the same version 1.0 with the same formatting problem.

My Dnn Wiki editor problem seemed to disappear after I enabled all roles for the module, updated the module settings, and then changed the roles back to their more restricted settings.  The link problem persists however, though it doesn't appear to be limited to just the word Net as I originally thought.  Any word like McDonald will cause the page link to appear.  Place a space between the c and the D and the link disappears.  Go figure...

Since thirty bucks wasn't going to break me, I tried to buy the Ktomics v1.5 module from Snowcovered.  It would appear that I can no longer purchase it.  I can get to the Wiki purchase page, but it won't add the module to my cart.  Bummer, I'd sure like to start off with a Wiki module that didn't have bugs.

As an update to item #2 - can't get the html editor to appear if non-administrator, the solution posted did not work for me.  However, this did:  Grant edit privileges to another page with html text to the role that you wish to work with the wiki.  Log in under that role, edit that html text with Rich Text Editor checked.  The wiki html editor will now work as expected.  You can then remove edit privileges to the other page.
