Hi Kim,
It’s not that you need an upgrade- Yack Pack is currently down, so we’ve pulled it from out interface. Sorry about that!

This seems like a wonderful feature–but when I click on insert plugin, and then chat, my only option is chat room.
I have five wikis in pbwiki and none of them seem to have the option of the yack pack chat.
I’m giving a workshop and demonstrating pbwiki on Tuesday, so I’d sure like to have this figured out….
The workshop wiki is
http://sbwikicamp.pbwiki.com
Is it that I need an upgraded wiki?
Thanks–
Kim

I wasn’t able to view the video…. it was a file type my computer didn’t recognize.

[...] PBWiki and the folks at YackPack recently announced a partnership that adds voice communication to any PBwiki. This is going to be a neat way to enhance collaborations on a wiki, because now you can not only collaborate via the text on the wiki pages, you can talk to other collaborators live via your wiki. read more from IMYM Sunday, April 22, 2007 7:00 PM miketemple123 Filed under: Podcasting, Collaborative software, Web 2.0 [...]

Judy, you are using the ‘classic’ editor. To use the new editor, go to your wiki’s front page and click ’settings’ on the top right. Then choose ‘editor’ from the navigation bar on the left. Change your editor from ‘Classic’ to ‘Point-and-Click’

Clicking to edit a page now will yield the new editor, along with the option to ‘insert plug-in’.

Enjoy

Would someone mind going to my wiki:

http://mame.pbwiki.com

to tell me where the “insert plug-in” button is located? I went into EDIT and I don’t see all of the buttons that are shown in the video on YackPack. I know I’m missing something obvious but I can’t find it! Thank you for your help!

I a librarian at the elementary level pk-5th grade. I have a book club composed of 3-5th graders. They love to be posting new comments. We just finished a book and some students want to keep on reading the second book on the series but I don’t have time to stay afterschool with them and summer is coming very soon. I plan to use the yack pack on my wiki so they can communicate with me.

Judy,

No problem. It’s not on your Templates page — it’s on your Plugin page. To get there:

1. Edit a page
2. Click Insert Plugin
3. Mouse over “Chat”
4. Choose YackPack voice chat

That’s it!

Darren- Sorry to be a pest but I don’t see a “chat” button on my template. Can you please tell me where to find it? Thank you.
