Some people are getting bewildered by the number of sites we start via this blog. So I've started a page to index the main Wikidot sites of general interest. Starting with the sites I'm admin of, and others I know of, I've put together a list.
Presumably I've missed a lot of sites, or have put in some that don't make sense. Let me know if you want me to add any. One of the ideas is to put sites in order of reader karma, from low to high. We might eventually add thumbnails and get something like a dashboard. Oh, too many ideas! Ideas are cheap, but making them work takes time. :-)
I think that a dashboard with thumbnails, such as Helmuti's, is a good idea. And thank you for indexing inportant sites.
For some reason, I can't put the comments module into a tab — and that's really starting to annoy me as I'd like to do that D:
Using a live template, I have added the comments module to a tabview in my firmware category. For example: http://cyclods.wikidot.com/firmware:1-56-beta-3
However, I cannot post new comments when it is like that.
I assume this is a bug.
This does not work:

if i remember correctly. comment wont work in the first tab. (it will in the second)
you cannot have more than one comments module on a page. So that includes within tabs.
If you look at the link provided at the beginning of my post, you will see:
Yet I still cannot post a comment (unless I modify the template to move the comments module out of the tabview)

Bizarre,
In page http://community.wikidot.com/start-ideas:social-bookmarking-widgets I could post a new entry.
But the code used is
I don't know whether it is linked.
No. There was page http://community.wikidot.com/start-ideas:social-bookmarking-widgets
which already contained the module Comments.
Then, I created the _template with the tabs, with a second tab "discussion" which contained the module comments. And the problem occurred: you cannot have 2 or more modules comments on the same page.
Just had a look at this again. As i did some stuff on this a while back.
As gerdami reports
you need to use
[[module Comments hideForm="true"]]
you can have discuss turned on, but in my experience as soon as you stick 2 comments modules on, it all goes breasts up. (which in my mind kinda makes sense)
Well, that sucks :) Count this as my rant for Tuesday then (in the wrong blog post, though) We should be able to use the comments module in a tab, without having to hide the form.
Okay, down to a solution… I was a little annoyed at how hidden the tiny "Add a comment" link was, so I came up with a solution — CSS! :)
Here's the outcome:
And for anyone that is interested, here is the CSS code I came up with to achieve this: =)
Now, a quick question for you Rob: Do you know if this will have an adverse affect on another part of my site? I'm going by the assumption that this ID is only used for the post button in a comments module, but may be wrong about that.
