Features
A company's internal documentation often lives in office files, emails or a separate wiki. CapDoliWiki brings it into Dolibarr: procedures, work instructions, job descriptions, meeting minutes and knowledge base are written and found in the same place as your ERP, with the Dolibarr accounts and permissions.
At a glance
- Who it is for: small and medium companies that use Dolibarr and want their internal documentation in one place.
- What it does: it adds an internal wiki with a visual editor, search, tags, links between pages, version history, attachments and PDF export.
- What it does not do: it publishes nothing on the Internet and relies on no outside service: the wiki is only readable by the Dolibarr users who have the right.
Feature list
- Visual Markdown editor - toolbar, tables, code blocks, full-screen mode, draft saved locally.
- Images - pasted from the clipboard or dropped into the page, resized automatically, four display sizes, full-screen zoom.
- Rich content - Mermaid diagrams, code syntax highlighting, information and warning boxes, generated table of contents.
- Tree - pages and sub-pages, breadcrumb.
- Full-text search - in titles and content, results ranked by relevance, terms highlighted.
- Tags and links between pages - tags in a dedicated field or #tag in the text, page links suggested as you type, backlinks, maintenance page for broken links.
- History - one version per save, line-by-line comparison, one-click restore.
- Locking - a page being edited cannot be overwritten by a colleague.
- Trash - reversible deletion, automatic purge after the chosen delay.
- Attachments and PDF export - files attached to each page, PDF export of a page or of a branch.
- Demo data - the wiki of a 50-employee company, more than 400 pages with their history, generated and removed in one click.
- Nine languages - French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Brazilian and European Portuguese.

Requirements
| Item | Version or condition |
|---|---|
| Dolibarr | 18.0 to 24 |
| PHP | 7.4 or later, GD extension to resize images |
| Rights | an administrator account to install, enable and set up the module |
CapDoliWiki works on its own, with no other module.
Installation
- Download archive file of module (.zip file) from web site www.dolistore.com or from any other source.
- Install module into the /custom folder of Dolibarr:
- Go to Home - Setup - Modules - Deploy/install external app/module
- Upload the file. Note: If it fails because upload from this page has been locked by your web hosting provider, you can manually unzip the file into the /custom directory from command line: Go into the /custom directory and uncompress file with command unzip modulefile.zip then check that the directory with the nameof the module is inside the /custom directory. If into a subdirectory, just move it into /custom.
- Module should be ready to be activated and used.
Upgrade
- Install the new version through Home > Setup > Modules/Applications > Deploy/install external app/module.
- Disable then enable the module again: enabling it creates the new tables and indexes the content of existing pages for the search.
Your pages, their history and your settings are kept.
Uninstall
Disable the module from Home > Setup > Modules/Applications. The pages stay in the database: enabling the module again later finds them back.

FAQ
A message tells me the page is locked.
A colleague is editing it. The lock is released when they leave the editor, or at the end of the lock duration; an administrator can also force it.
Pasting an image does not work.
The PHP GD extension must be enabled and the Dolibarr data directory writable by the web server.
How do I restore a deleted page?
See the trash link at the bottom of the page list, then the restore button: the page comes back with its whole history.
All the questions: documentation FAQ.
