Caching of the external links

I'm looking for a way to cache some external pages (the external references on the wiki nodes).
That's because the local server must to have a copy in case the external page is gone or that site is down.
Does anyone have a suggestion on this?
Thanks!

Discussion page on CCK admin pages

Hi All,
I've had some feedback from MediaWiki fans extolling the virtues of Wiki Templates (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Template) which in my mind are kind of analogous CCK content types (ie content types defined by a user). One neat feature you get with templates is the ability to discuss their development using the mediawiki Talk page, and I was wondering if somebody has thought about doing this for CCK. Hey maybe it's possible to define a CCK type through a node? Maybe I'm just rambling, but I just thought I'd throw it out there.

Cheers,
Kehan

Drupal and wikis?

Hi all... have any of you used used Drupal with wikis, either by setting up part of a Drupal site to behave in a wiki-like way or by integrating Drupal with another software package such as MediaWiki? If so I'd be curious to hear about your experiences. I'm trying to create a Drupal wiki myself—for now I'm going off the "Wiki" Chapter in Using Drupal, but ultimately I'm going to need more fine-grained permissions control than that of the example in the chapter, so I'll have to experiment. I'll let you know how it goes!

    TSHA considering Drupal for major site redesign

    The Texas State Historical Association, a nonprofit educational organization which recently moved from Austin to Denton (on the UNT campus), is preparing to rebuild their large website which consists of over 200,000 pages, and is visited by millions of people every year. The largest part of the job will be rebuilding the Handbook of Texas Online, which consists of over 25,000 articles on people, places, events, historical themes, institutions, and a host of other topic categories.

    What would be the best approach to have a WYSIWYG for wikitext syntax?

    Hi all,
    I can see there are a lot of activity around the WYSIWYG concept.
    However, the support for wikitext format is poor, I noticed an experimental FCKeditor for mediawiki.
    But this sounds quite experimental, and not that easy to adapt for drupal.
    Before going further in my investigation, I was wondering what would be the best approach to get a wysiwyg editor for wikitext on Drupal (even if this does not cover 100% of wikitext)

    Any information will be appreciated,

    An actual wiki in Drupal

    Hey all,

    I come from a wiki development background. have been involved in wiki communities and circles for a while now.

    I have struggled with both Liquid and Wikitools in Drupal since Drupal 4.7, and have come to the conclusion that the problem is with Freelinking.

    When I first used freelinking, I loved it. But, as I tried to customize and add functionality onto wiki in Drupal, Freelinking, and specifically the way that Freelinking makes links, has become a real bane to me in constructing wiki in Drupal.

    Wiki Templates (or mimicking Wikipedia functionality)

    There's a neat feature on Wikipedia pages where pages are related, they have a template at the bottom of the page with links to all of the relevant nodes.

    For example, the Linkin Park entry will have a template at the bottom that has links to all their members pages, singles and albums, etc. This template is editable and when you make changes to it, it gets updated across all the pages that use it.

    Seems like a great idea, and I'd love to implement something similar in a Drupal wiki. Does anyone know if it's possible using existing modules?

    Edit Link for Wiki Pages

    I'm building a community site for the Public Librarians and I was wondering how on Wiki Pages, the Edit link is added on Drupal Groups.

    It's the link just under the Title that says, "You are viewing a wiki page. You are welcome..." Then depending on whether you're already a member of the Group, the link either goes to edit the page or join the group.

    How nice.

    Does anyone know how this was done? Is it something added to the theme template? I'm trying to figure out how it's done!

    Any help would be appreciated.
