'''This website can be edited within Madagascar only. If you would like editing permission from elsewhere, you need an invitation from an administrator of the site.'''
== Text editing ==
The most basic text editing features, such as boldface, italics and links can be formatted with help of the buttons above the edit box. Alternatively, the syntax is simple. For '''bold text''', enclose the word(s) within three single quotes:
<nowiki>'''bold text'''</nowiki>
For ''italic text'', enclose the text with two single quotes:
<nowiki>''italic text''</nowiki>
To link a text to another page within the wiki, enclose the word in double square double brackets:
<nowiki>[[</nowiki>[[Anakao]]<nowiki>]]</nowiki>
To link to a page on another website, enclose the link location within single square brackets and the linked word(s) after the URL:
<nowiki>[http://www.examplepinterest.com example/madacamp MadaCamp Pinterest board]</nowiki>
This will result in [httpappear as://www.example.com example]
Alternatively, type a full URL without the brackets, e.g.: <nowiki>http://www.examplepinterest.com/madacamp</nowiki>
... to display the link as follows:
http://www.examplepinterest.com/madacamp
To make a listing, prefix the list items with asterixes: ...
== Image links ==
To make an image link to a page from an image instead of an image leading to the larger version of the same image which is clicked file shown ona page, add the link parameter to the image markup, eg.:
[[Image:Big_fish.jpg|100px200px|link=Big_fish]][[Image:Madagascar_Coffee_001.jpg|200px|link=Madagascar_Coffee]]
<pre>[[Image:Big_fish.jpg|100px200px|link=Big_fish]][[Image:Madagascar_Coffee_001.jpg|200px|link=Madagascar_Coffee]]</pre>
== Link to an image or other file ==
To link directly to an image or some other file that has previously been uploaded on this site use the <code>media:</code> prefix. For example: ...
<nowiki>[[media:Big_fish.jpg]]</nowiki>
... will appear as [[media:Big_fish.jpg]]
Or to use other link word(s) than the filename, separate the file part and the linked word(s) with a vertical bar <code>(<span style="color:#ff0000;"> | </span>)</code>, as follows:
[[media:Big_fish.jpg<span style="color:#ff0000; font-weight:bold;">|</span>how to wear a fish]]
The link will then appear as [[media:Big_fish.jpg|how to wear a fish]]
== Displaying an email address ==
[mailto:hello@madacamp.com hello@madacamp.com]
== Skype button Maps ==
<!pre><nowiki><div style="max-width:600px;">{{#display_map:-15.214232, 50.076107~[[File:Skype_configuration.jpgHotel Fitiavana]]--~~;|type=satellite|service=google|width=auto|height=400|zoom=18|controls=pan, zoom, type, scale|copycoords=yes}}</div></nowiki></pre>

== Adding RSS news feeds to pages ==
RSS means (Really Simple Syndication. It's a standard code format for feeding various news reader applications (including web browsers) with news allows importing summaries and corresponding links to news articles. For example, do a Google news search at [httphttps://news.google.com http://news.google.comsearch] for any given keyword or phrasecan be imported. Thereafter scroll HOwever, Google does not include RSS feed URLs directly on their search result pages but it's not complicated to piece together the bottom relevant feed URLs. For example, a search for the phrase "madagascar lemurs" can be included on a page as follows: <pre><rss template="Google-feed" filterout="movie penguins">https://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22madagascar+lemurs%22&cf=all&output=rss</rss></pre> The output of this news search for the page phrase ''madagascar lemurs'', filtering out results with the terms ''penguins'' and find the ''movie'', becomes: <rss template="Google-feed" filterout="movie penguins deprecated">https://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22madagascar+lemurs%22&cf=all&output=rss</rss> Other non-Google RSS symbol feeds may include a feed icon [[File:RSS_icon.png|14px]]to indicate the whereabouts of RSS feeds. For additional usage and customisation of the output, see: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RSS == Uploading images == To add your own images, first [[Special:Userlogin| sign up]] and thereafter click on the [[Special:Upload|Upload file]] link in the toolbox on the left, which allows uploading a single image at the time. Follow Note that the link does not appear to site visitors who are not logged in. You can repeat the procedure for more than one image or chose to upload multiple images via the [[Special:MultipleUpload|Upload multiple files]] function which allows uploading up to five images at the time. == Image size == A recommended image size for this site is minumim 1500 pixels height or width. Many digital cameras produce images with a 4:3 aspect ratio and which are usually larger than 1500 pixels in width or height. Images which has a 4:3 aspect ratio will automatically fit into the URL [[#Image_gallery|standard image gallery]]. When scaling a 4:3 aspect ratio image from some larger size down to 1500 pixels width it becomes 1125 pixels in height. In case of a taller than wide image, i.e. in portrait format, it becomes 1125 width and 1500 pixels in height. Example of an 4:3 aspect ratio, 1500 pixels wide and 1125 pixels tall image: [[media:Diego_Suarez_150.jpg|Diego_Suarez_150.jpg]]. However, many cameras output different aspect ratios and size settings. Depending on your internet connection speed, size and number of images, you may prefer to scale your images down before uploading them onto this site. A free graphics application to scale images down is [http://www.gimp.org The Gimp]. <!--Alternatively, try the raw RSS feedPixlr online photo editor at http://pixlr.com/editor/--> Or to avoid using a graphic application altogether, just upload your images in their original sizes and dimensions as they come from the camera. <!--== Uploading more images via FTP ==

caption="Caption above gallery"
widths=''n'' - image widths in pixels
heights=''n'' - image heights in pixels
perrow=''n'' - number of images per row
mode=''n'' - can be used with the following paramenters:
* traditional - the default gallery display
* nolines - like traditional but without border lines.
* packed - all images will have the same height but different widths, with minimal space between images. The rows will organise themselves according to the screen width.
* packed-overlay - shows captions on the image in a semi-transparent white overlay.
* packed-hover - similar to packed-overlay but with the caption and box showing on hover.
== Wide images ==
<pre><nowiki>{{wide image|Bezavona_pano2.jpg|1800px|Fort Dauphin panorama|250px|right}}</nowiki></pre>
== Random image display ==
'''A random image can be displayed along with various optional parameters, such as size, left or right aligned and a pre-defined array of named images to limit the selection from.'''
<randomimage float="left" />
This code can be used to display a random image from the complete repository of images on the site:<br>
<span style="background:#f6f6f6;"><nowiki><randomimage float="left" /></nowiki></span><br>
An caption will automatically be pulled from the image descripion page if one exists or if added when the image was originally uploaded on the site.
<br clear="all">
<randomimage float="left">Random image</randomimage>
This example code can be used to display a random image with a pre-defined caption, eg. 'A random image', for all images:<br>
<span style="background:#f6f6f6;"><nowiki><randomimage float="left">A random image</randomimage></nowiki></span>
<br clear="all">
The <nowiki><randomimage></nowiki> tag supports the following attributes:
* size - set the image width (default is the user's thumbnail width).
* float - float the image; valid values are 'left', 'center' and 'right'.
* choices - limits the image selection to a list of images separated by a vertical bar. For example:
<randomimage size="150" float="left" choices="Chocolaterie_Robert_024.jpg|Chocolaterie_Colbert_01.jpg|Cinagra_066.jpg" />
This example is a 150 pixels width image, aligned to the left and with a pre-defined array of named images to choose from:<br>
<span style="background:#f6f6f6;"><nowiki><randomimage size="150" float="left" choices="Chocolaterie_Robert_024.jpg|Chocolaterie_Colbert_01.jpg|Cinagra_066.jpg" /></nowiki></span>

== Editing and publishing videos ==
While YouTube offers an a quick and easy conversion process from any original way to publish a video file format into website compatible Flash video (FLV) format is by simply uploading your video onto it into a YouTube accountand thereafter including it on a page, YouTube will display links to other user's YouTube hosted videos at the end of your video, often in combination with Google syndicated advertising. To prevent this mostly irrelevant information from being displayed along with your video, you can upload your video also be uploaded directly on MadaCamp, after first having converted it into FLV format. If your video has been shot with a digital camera, it is likely Your original may be an Mpeg, AVI, Quicktime or some other format. The conversion into FLV format can then be done using an advanced a video editor such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avidemux Avidemux], which is available for free download on all operating systems:
[[File:Avidemux.jpg|600px]]
Alternatively, [http://ffmpeg.org FFmpeg] is an excellent and free video editing tool, but requires command line editing, which is mainly done on Linux and OSX systems.
For Windows user'susers, a nice and simple FLV conversion tool is [http://www.miksoft.net/mobileMediaConverter.htm Mobile Media Converter]. While Mobile Media Converter lack various advanced editing features that exists in Avidemux, if all you need is to simply convert a video into FLV format without fancy special editing, Mobile Media Converter is a perfectly good tool for the jobpurpose. Various pre-configured size, bandwidth and quality level options are available in the conversion process.

== Adding language switches ==
Note: Language switches are currently deactivated.
To add language switches for French and Malagasy versions to appear in the left column of any content page is simple. For example, the following code was added in the edit box of the page [[Lemur|http://madacamp.com/Lemur]]:
<nowiki>[[mg:Maki]]</nowiki>
The Français and Malagasy link therefore appears on the English versionof the page, which lead to [http://fr.madacamp.com/Lémurien http://fr.madacamp.com/Lémurien] and [http://mg.madacamp.com/Maki http://mg.madacamp.com/Maki] respectively
(note: Maki means lemur in Malagasy).
The language swith codes can be added anywhere in the editing box, for example at the end.
