Re: [WagnEnthusiasts] Simple question: How Do I Modify The Sidebar?

Sidebar....

Maybe John, Ethan, or Lewis can be more helpful.

The sidebar took me a bit to work out.

Create a card
Connect it to *sidebar
Connect it to *open to have it open

Modify contents by clicking on the card or choosing the edit option.

I think the comment function is extraordinary, but I haven't had a chance to really use it.
In card options, if you have the authority, you can choose options. The forth option is comment. Choose who you want to have able to comment...I choose anyone on mine so people who have not gained sign on access yet can still leave a message. You must do this for each card you wish to give comment function to.

The template capacity is great too, but I have yet to get a hang of it. Anyone have simple directions for that?

Thanks for getting conversation moving Mamading. I hope together we can help each other. Your interests are aligned with mine, but I am not quite the maven technically that you are.

Wagn does work similar to a wiki in that it is community created...but it is also more database like...so it is more of a community driven database for amassing collective intelligence. Transclusion allows you to pull small sortable chunks of information into larger contiguous data streams. So a whole business plan can be pulled together from cards that hold the mission, vision, values, marketing plan, financials, etc. And the rearranged or edited for different organizational purposes. Or company cards can hold information about location, size, leadership, products, etc. Cards can be connected as a way to tag information too--create folksonomy. I hope to see the highly flexible and useful tool that wagn is be implemented in a variety of domains. I would love to hear what other folks are using it for.

Best,
Jean

I understand that conceptually, but I don't understand how to apply
it in practice. Both wagn.org and Hooze have modified the sidebar.
It would be nice to know how to do this.
