Frequently Asked Questions

How can I embed widgets such as YouTube videos ?

In wiki edition mode, simply copy/paste the embedded HTML code where you want the widget to be displayed, surrounded by the {pre} and {/pre} markups. Example for a YouTube video: 

\{pre\}
<object width="425"
 height="350">
<param name="movie"
 value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gbpoagNhSJI">
</param>
<embed
 src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gbpoagNhSJI"
 type="application/x- shockwave-flash"
 width="425" height="350">
</embed>
</object> 
\{/pre\}

Why do Netcipia places offer both a blog and a wiki?

In our experience, team leaders generally need to:

  • Deliver news to their co-workers on a regular basis: that’s when a blog should be used.
  • Store large amounts of data in a semi-structured way, to capitalize on the ongoing work (files, documents, texts, pictures,...): wikis are great for that.

Until now, blogs and wikis were separate tools. Netcipia has merged them into one single interface to optimize the work of any group of people.

Is it possible to embed dynamic data in my pages?

Yes, Netcipia supports two development languages, Groovy and Velocity, allowing advanced users to add complex features to their Netcipia pages. See the XWiki web site (our wiki open source core engine) for more information.

What are “Rights Management?”

By default, Netcipia places are “private”. To open a place to other users, a place creator must therefore explicitly invite new members and grant them access to his place. New members will need to use their user/password information to access the place.

A place creator can also allow public access to his space, like in default consumer blogs and wikis.

By default, each page inside a space is fully accessible to any member registered by the place creator. These access rights can be changed by the creator of the page or space.

What are Spaces?

The purpose of a space is to group and manage a set of pages globally. For example, you can limit the access to a space for a few place members only. Pages in a restricted space will be unavailable to unauthorized space members.

How can I use wiki syntax in a page?

You must embed any text with a wiki syntax inside the following markups: {pre} and {/pre}. For example:

\{pre\}
* [create a link>link] with bullet
\{/pre\}

How do I delete a place?

You can delete a place permanently by contacting the support.

How can I delete a space?

To delete a space:

  • click on the space link in the space panel
  • click on the index link in the Toolbox panel
  • go to each page and delete it, FINISHING with the WebHome page

and your space will be fully deleted.

How can I rename a space?

This is currently not possible, but we are working on it! Stay tuned!

Where are the RSS feeds of my place?

You can access them in the Create panel. Four feeds are available:

  • space: tracks any modification done to one of the spaces in your place (any modification to a page - text, comment, attachment - is marked)
  • page: tracks any modification to a specific page (page revision, new comment or new attachment)
  • comments: tracks all the comments added to your place, on any page
  • blog: tracks the content of your netcipia blog

Why doesn't my reader accept my RSS feeds

Netcipia RSS Feeds must be authenticated. Therefore only RSS Readers that allow authenticated RSS feeds are compatible with netcipia places. For example, you can download RSSReader, it is free and works very well! On the web, you can also use NetVibes, it works fine.

What is the file attachment max size and how can I change it?

10 MB. It is not possible to change it in the free version.
