Looking for a wiki script for your next great web site project?
As somebody who’s built one from the ground up – I can tell you picking the right script for the job, is not an easy task to do. With a surprising amount of flexibility and power, BoltWire might be one of the easiest to use wikis out there.
It takes the cake when it comes to mixing the strengths of various script categories together. Is it a CMS? Is it a wiki? It is a little ‘bit of both.
The install process is simple. All you do is download, unzip, upload and install. It runs on just about any server with PHP4 (although PHP5 is recommended) and has a simple upgrade process too. The entire download is less than 100k, so should just take a couple of seconds to get started.
What about the Features?
Here are some of the best features about BoltWire:
- Easy to install and upgrade
- Run multiple sites off one installation
- Built in member and group management
- Easy to use wiki markup system
- Powerful search engine capabilities
- In-browser editing of skins & CSS
- Standards compliant
- UTF-8 and multi-lingual support
- One click installation of plugins
If you are new to the script, or you get it installed and start to wonder, “What’s Next?!” I would suggest checking out the documentation. They also have a nice selection of tutorials to help you out too.
Customization? Yes, you can customize BoltWire in many different ways. It comes with both plugin and skin support so you are able to make it do the job you want it to do, and get it looking the way you need it to look.
All in all, I would highly suggest checking BoltWire out, if you have a web site project that needs just a little ‘bit of wiki and a little bit of a content management system rolled into one.
