=Help on editing TOER=
To edit a page using the visual editor, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the page.It can take a few seconds for the page to open for editing, and longer if the page is very long.

Clicking on the "Edit source" tab will open the classic wikitext source editor.

You can also open the visual editor by clicking on the "edit" link on each section.

==Basic editing==
===Entering Text===
Just type in text
or
copy paste from your existing text file (.doc or .odt) into the wiki page


===Headings===
'''Headings''' pull-down menu: allows you to change how the paragraph is formatted. To change the style of a paragraph, put your cursor in the paragraph and select an item in this menu (you don't have to highlight any text). Section titles are formatted "Heading", and subsections are "Heading 2", "Heading 3", and so on. The normal format for text is "Paragraph".

[[File:2. VisualEditor Toolbar Headings-en.png|frameless]]

===External Web link===
[[File:4. VisualEditor-link tool-external link.png|thumb|396x396px]]
When you want to link a page from outside the TOER website, (external link)<br>
Links can be added through the "Link" icon (links in a chain) in the toolbar.

If you select (highlight) text and then press the "Link" button, that text will be used in creating the link. For a link that involves just one word, you can either select that word or just put the cursor within that word.

Once you have entered or selected the link, you complete the linking process by pressing <kbd>↵ Enter</kbd> or by pressing the "Done" button. Your link will immediately appear on the page, but as with other changes to the page, it will not be saved until you save the entire page.

===Internal Web link===
When you want to link a page from within the TOER website (internal link)
Syntax is as follows<br>
open DOUBLE Square Bracket,followed by the TOER page name (without http etc) ,followed by pipe and then the description of the link
eg
<nowiki>[[Surds | TOER Surds page]]</nowiki>
will read as
[[Surds | TOER Surds page]]
<br>Surds is the name of the TOER page - http://teacher-network.in/OER/index.php/Surds
<br>TOER Surds page is the name of the link

==Advanced Editing==
In TOER, we upload text and mind maps, other resources are uploaded elsewhere and then linked/embedded on the TOER using widgets-
#Geogebra files - [http://geogebratube.org Geogebratube]
#Photos - slide show in [http://picasaweb.google.com Google Picassa]
#Presentations - slide show in [http://slideshare.net Slideshare]
#Videos - [http://Youtube.com Youtube] or [http://vimeo.com Vimeo]
#Podcasts (audio files) - [http://yourlisten.com Yourlisten]

===Coloring Text===
Below syntax can be used to color text. For the HTML web color names, please refer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#HTML_color_names this page].
{| class="wikitable"
!Markup
!Renders as
|-
 | <code><nowiki>{{ font color | green | green text }}</nowiki></code>
 | {{font color | green | green text }}
|-
 | <code><nowiki>{{ font color | blue | do not style text as a link }}</nowiki></code>
 | {{font color | blue | do not style text as a link }}
|-
 | <code><nowiki>{{ font color | white | black | white with black background }}</nowiki></code>
 | {{font color | white | black | white with black background }}
|-
 |  | <code>{<nowiki/>{ font color'''{{big | {{! }}<nowiki/>{{! }} }}'''<nowiki>yellow | default text in yellow background }}</nowiki></code>
 | {{font color |  | yellow | default text in yellow background }}
|-
 |  | <code>{<nowiki/>{ font color'''{{big | {{! }} }}'''<nowiki>bg=yellow | text = default text in yellow background }}</nowiki></code>
 | {{font color | bg=yellow | text = default text in yellow background }}
|}

===Inserting image ===
====Link wikimedia commons images in to our TOER====
You can insert wikimedia commons images on TOER in two ways, with external image link or with Filename. Inserting image with latter method ensures that images show up on PDF versions of wiki pages instead of references with former method.
First open the web page with the image (picture).
===== Filename =====
# Click on Use this file with wikipedia symbol and copy the syntax
# Paste the syntax on the page you wish to add image
<nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|thumb|Example]]</nowiki>

will be seen as 

[[File:Example.jpg|thumb|Example]]

As mentioned before, inserting image this way ensures that images show up on PDF versions of wiki pages instead of references with external links with second method.

===== External image link =====
# Right click on the image and select 'copy image URL'
# Then go to your TOER page, type <nowiki>{{ext-img|size|imageurl}}</nowiki>. For ex.,. <nowiki>{{ext-img|150px|https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/a/a9/Example.jpg}}</nowiki> if url is <nowiki>https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/a/a9/Example.jpg</nowiki> and you wish to give 150px size.


Source of images - https://search.creativecommons.org/

====Upload our own images in TOER and link into our TOER page====
1 On the left hand side in the navigation sidebar, click the "Upload File" link.
2 On the Upload file page, browse for the image you want to upload to your TOER page.
3 The file will show in the File history and the file name will display in the page.

On the image page to the top left, you can see the file name. in this case File:Dog4.gif.

Click Upload File. 
Note: Please note down the file name 
Your file is uploaded to TOER website and now we have use this image file in our any TOER page.

1. Click the Embedded file icon in the WYSIWYG editor. A code will be generated like the following:

<nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|image size in px]] </nowiki>

2. Change "Example.jpg" name into your file name which you noted when uploading.
3. If you want to re-size the image file, replace 400px into your required size(The default maximum size depends on the format and the internal image dimensions (according to its media type).
3. Click on the "Save the page".

Now you will see your image show on the wiki page.

Also all [http://commons.wikimedia.org Wikimedia Commons] images can be directly used in this wiki with normal image syntax as described above -

<nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|thumb]] </nowiki> [[File:Example.jpg|thumb]]

===Resizing the image after inserting===

===Inserting audio podcast===
#It is easier to create audio resources than video resources. Audio resources are very useful for language learning. They are a very useful complement to the usual print resources. While print resources support the 'reading/writing' skills, audio resources can support the 'listening/speaking' skills. 
#You can record an audio resource on your smart phone or on your computer. 
#You can edit the audio resource using a public software like audacity. Editing can reduce/remove unwanted sounds, add background music etc.
#The final audio clip can be uploaded on http://yourlisten.com and the link provided on TOER

Now click on your new page name link(will be in red color), and start editing your page and click on the save page button. 

To add template in your page:

Once a page has been created, the content template must be added. The syntax is as follows:
<br>
<nowiki>{{subst:Math-Content}}</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>{{subst:Science-Content}}</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>{{subst:SS-Content}}</nowiki><br>

Once an activity page has been created, the activity template must be added to each page.

The syntax is as follows:
<br>
<nowiki>{{subst:Math-Activity}}</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>{{subst:Science-Activity}}</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>{{subst:SS-Activity}}</nowiki><br>


==Useful reports from wiki==
===What changes have been made on any wiki page - and who has made them===
At the bottom of each wiki page, the link 'history' is provided. Clicking this will give us all the changes made on that page, when it was made and who made it. Any changes made by mistake can be 'rolled back' or deleted. 

To get the changes made on the entire TOER wiki, click on [[Special:RecentChanges | 'Recent changes']] on the left frame

===User list===
To get a list of all the wiki editors, we can [[Special:ListUsers | visit]]

=Forgot password / cannot login=
#Check if your user id is created, visit [[Special:ListUsers]] pages in the wiki and see if your id is there
#if user id not created, then write TOER@KarnatakaEducation.org.in and ask for a wiki id. Note that normally wiki id will be given in a training workshop
#If user id exists, but you have forgotten your password, then Click on Log in button
#Click on ' Forgotten your login details? ' and ENTER your WIKI ID
#WIKI will send a mail to the 'Connected email id', provided during the creation of the login-id
#Open your email. Click on the weblink in your email and you will connect to DIET WIKI
#Click on your wiki link
#Enter your wiki id and your NEW password to login. (keep this NEW PASSWORD CAREFULLY and do not lose it) 
#You will see your id on the top right part of the screen

=Steps to use Wiki to create a web-site=
#Identify the audience for the site - who do you want should see the site
#Collate the information you want to share through the site
##Information about the institution - plans, programmes, staff
##Detailed information about programmes - objectives, scope, approach, activities, status, challenges/risks, outcomes
#Try and collate information in different formats
##Text information, images/photos/pictures, videos, animations, existing web links
#Make a 'design' for your site - home page contents, other pages.  This is similar to designing a home - based on needs, how many rooms and for what purpose. Good news is that you can always add pages to your wiki whenever you want, and add/modify/remove content, which is not so easily possible with a house!!
##Home page should be simple and clear. Avoid jazzy styles.
##No information should be too lengthy on home page. Use additional pages for providing details. 
##Cluster/categorize information and provide it in pages based on such categories/clusters.
##Any page address (web link) should be provided either on the site home page, or on another page, based on relevance. This can help user to reach any page from the home page. Of course, user can reach a page just through the web address as well.

=== How to edit TOER wiki sidebar ===

[[MediaWiki:Sidebar|Click here]] to edit our TOER wiki sidebar . After you click on this just follow the normal wiki editing formating for adding menu and sub menu etc.

= How to create print version and get pdf of books on wiki  =
We have [[ICT student textbook|Student Textbook]] and [[ICT teacher handbook|Teacher Hand Book]] collaboratively done on this wiki and we have prepared Print versions and pdf copies of the same. Below are the steps on how to do this on any wiki. Please note this needs to be done only once and Print versions are automatically updated from the book. Pdf can be generated from the left side '''Download as PDF''' link under '''Print/export'''.

Generally, it is a good solution to learn from examples. See [[ICT teacher handbook/Print version]] and read these quick guidelines.

== Preparing a book ==
No navigational templates used in a book should be printed. Check this using the "Print preview" function of your browser. To prevent a block of text from being printed, cover it with <tt><nowiki><div class="noprint"> ... </div></nowiki></tt>. Use <tt>class="notice"</tt> or <tt>class="notice metadata"</tt> for cleanup templates like {{tlx|stub}}, {{tlx|cleanup}}; or <nowiki><noinclude> ... </noinclude></nowiki>. Similarly, if you want some content to be displayed only in the print version but not at normal reading, use <nowiki><includeonly> ... </includeonly></nowiki>. 

== Creating separate page for print version ==
In brief:
# Create the page <!--''Book:Print version'' or -->''Book/Print version'' (for a book called ''Book'') and link to it from the TOC
# Insert the {{tlx|print version notice|Book|Book/Print_version}} template to the top of the book's Print version page.
# Insert every chapter like a template, preceded by the chapter's title.
#: <tt><nowiki> = Chapter name = </nowiki></tt>
#: <tt><nowiki> {{:Book/Chapter name}} </nowiki></tt>

'''Do not cut-and-paste any text from a book to its print version.'''

== Linking from the book ==
{{Print version}}

Make a visible link to the print version from the book's cover or table of contents. You can simply insert the {{tl|print version}} template in the page ''Book'' if the page of the printed version is ''Book/Print version'' to create a box like the one shown.
