    online encyclopedia

    I'm looking to add an online encyclopedia to my website, but not sure what to use. I like the idea of Wiki, but don't want it to be edited by anybody except site admin.

    Forum software (phpbb3, SMF, etc) doesnt seem to fit what I want....nor does word press.

    Really what I need is a searchable encyclopedia that just a few select few can edit, and each article can have links, images, etc.

    Any thoughts on what I could use....I am looking into a few wiki flavors now...just not finding what I want.

    You can restrict access in a wiki. I think that is your best beat. Otherwise, you could use a CMS like Joomla and just add a new article for each new dictionary page you required.

    It does have some security flaws so make sure you keep the latest version installed.

    I use this on my sites. Instead if implementing a whole prog.

    Code:
    <form action="http://www.wikipedia.org/search-redirect.php" method="get">
    <h1>wiki<span>.Search<sup>1.0</sup></span></h1>
    <input type="hidden" name="language" value="en" />
    <input type="text" name="search" size="10" />
    <input type="submit" name="go" value=" Go! " />
    </form>
