View source for Adding content samples

There are several different ways to add content to the wiki. This is images, videos, audio, code and more. 

== Adding Code snippets ==
The way to add code is with the "pre" tag in-front of and after your code. Here is an example:

<pre>

Hello {%first_name%} {%last_name%},

Your shipment of {%item%} is now ready to pick up.

Thanks {%first_name%}!
</pre>


== Adding Images ==

Images can be added and embedded into posts. You have to upload the image to the wikipedia site. On the left hand side of the screen is a toolbox menu with an option called "Upload File" or click [http://www.cunningturtle.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Upload]. 

On the upload file page is a Dialog for you to choose and upload a file. The Destination Filename is the filename that will be used when the image is embedded. 

Here is code to generate the following image:
<pre>
[[Image:samplemotorcycle.jpg|500px|none|alt=alternate text|caption text]].
</pre>
The Destination Filename is "samplemotorcycle.jpg". The width is 500px. Alignment is set to none.

[[Image:samplemotorcycle.jpg|500px|none|alt=alternate text|caption text]].

There are many other ways to format photos in Media Wiki. Infact they have a very detailed guide here [[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images]] and all of it is compatible with our media wiki site.

== Adding Video ==
Videos can be embedded from youtube. Lets take the following Video as the example:
http://www.youtube.com/embed/XoHIm-ODmZQ
That video can be embedded in these different ways with the following code:
<pre>

{{#ev:youtube|XoHIm-ODmZQ|100|right|This is an embedded video!}}
{{#ev:youtube|XoHIm-ODmZQ|200|left|This is an embedded video!}}
{{#ev:youtube|XoHIm-ODmZQ}}
</pre>

{{#ev:youtube|XoHIm-ODmZQ|100|right|This is an embedded video!}}
{{#ev:youtube|XoHIm-ODmZQ|200|left|This is an embedded video!}}
{{#ev:youtube|XoHIm-ODmZQ}}

More information on how to format the videos are available here [[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/EmbedVideoPlus]]. If you want to ever use HTML5 videos we'll switch to this plugin [[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VideoFlash]]


== Adding Links ==

Really the full tutorial is here [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links Mediawiki guide to links ]

Here is a quick guide to the two main types: Internal and External. 

*External Links
[http://www.cunningturtle.com External Link With Name ]

[http://www.cunningturtle.com]
*Internal Links
[[Projects|Internal Link with Alt Name]]

[[Projects]]

Those links were generated with the following code :

<pre>
*External Links
[http://www.cunningturtle.com External Link With Name ]

[http://www.cunningturtle.com]
*Internal Links
[[Projects|Internal Link with Alt Name]]

[[Projects]]
</pre>


== Adding Tables ==
The way to tables is traditionally: 

{| border="1"
|+ Table Name
! scope="col" | Column1 
! scope="col" | Column2 
! scope="col" | Column3
! scope="col" | Column4
|-
! scope="row" | Row1
| one || two || three
|-
! scope="row" | Row2
| four || five || six
|}

<pre>
{| border="1"
|+ Table Name
! scope="col" | Column1 
! scope="col" | Column2 
! scope="col" | Column3
! scope="col" | Column4
|-
! scope="row" | Row1
| one || two || three
|-
! scope="row" | Row2
| four || five || six
|}
</pre>

we've added an extension called "SimpleTable" so tables can be created in excel in csv export.
More info can be found here: [[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleTable http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleTable]]


<tab class=wikitable sep=comma head=top>
Column1,Column2,Column3,Column4
Row1,one,two,three
Row2,four, five, six
</tab>


<pre>
<tab class=wikitable sep=comma head=top>
Column1,Column2,Column3,Column4
Row1,one,two,three
Row2,four, five, six
</tab>
