Custom CSS & JavaScript
This is an advanced feature and probably isn't appropriate for users unfamiliar with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Customize your wiki color scheme easily in Settings > Colors and Basic Settings > Logo.
You can add custom code to the <head> section of your wiki here. This is useful for inserting custom CSS (with a <style> tag) or JavaScript (with a <script> tag) , or to employ third-party services such as Google Analytics. This will affect every page of your wiki.
Insert only custom code with which you are familiar. Javascript, and even links to images outside your control, can be used to compromise the security of your wiki.
If you encounter any problems, try removing your custom code.
How do I change the text at the top of my wiki?
To change the text at the top of your wiki, just click on the "Settings" link. The first page that pops up is "About this wiki," where you can change the title at the top of your wiki screen.
Color Themes
You can set the color theme on your wiki by going to "Settings" and then "Colors." You can choose from 9 pre-defined color themes, or premium wikis can set custom color options with the color picker tool.
Custom Color Options
Premium wikis have an addition color setting. To utilize the color picker tool, go to "Settings" and then "Colors." You'll want to choose the "custom" option as highlighted below:
Then select your area in the color picker, and choose it's color setting from the color panel to the right.
Logo
To add a logo to your wiki page, just go to "Settings" and then "Logo." Here you can upload your logo image file to your wiki.
Custom Domains
When you add custom domains to PBwiki, you can get to the wiki through two addresses:
To set this up, go to "Settings" and then "Custom Domain" For the example used above, you would enter "wiki.tdemo.net" in the domain field.
You can use Yahoo! Small Business to register and set up the wiki.tdemo.net domain, or any other domain regstration system. Here's what my 'Advanced DNS Settings' page looks like - the relevant parts are highlighted in yellow.
It's a good idea to use a CNAME record (pointing to yourwiki.pbwiki.com) rather than A record (pointing to a numeric IP address) - we will change server addresses over time as we grow and using an A record could leave your mapped domain pointing into the void when that happens. As a caveat, this means you won't be able to add an MX record, so you won't be able to get mail for your custom-mapped domain.
