Ser Ash the Red Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 When I edited some wikipages today, the tool bar did not appear in the textbox. I was able to enter wikitext directly. However when I saved it the page did not show up instead there was an error message about the database not working. However the page was saved. Furthermore. the character template appears to be broken, the title variable does not display. I do not know if there are any other problems with templates.yours ASHaber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mor2 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I finally managed to answer your comment on the wiki regarding the Title (been having connection problems) as for the rest, including all those "CategoryViewer::doCategoryQuery". Database returned error "1054: Unknown column 'cl_sortkey_prefix' in 'field list' (localhost)"I believe that RAN is in the procees of upgrading our software, so it's just something we are going to have to be patient about.

Ran Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yes, was updating to 1.17 of MediaWiki, only to encounter a very minor problem which, unfortuantely, I can't fix -- and Sparks was away at the time. I'll be contacting her to see if she can fix that today, so I can complete the update entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Okay, 1.17 upgrade successful. Please report any problems here. I am aware of the fact that the WYSIWYG toolbar has disappeared -- FCKEditor (the extension we used) is no longer supported, so I will have to look into a replacement that works with 1.17. If anyone knows of one, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Update: New WYSIWYG toolbar in place for editing. Again, report if there are any errors. IF any of our current extensions appear out of date and need correction (because you can see something is breaking), let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mor2 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 That some good news, especially since 1.17 means collapsible elements are here, for me and scafloc to play with. btw Sparks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scafloc Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I don't think that is included yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mor2 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 iirc collapsible elements were incorporated into the core as of 1.17 , no?btw, isnt the talk/discussion tab name is a little off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Sparks is the handle of the person who owns the server, a friend of ours. :)Collapsible elements do exist, and can be turned on... but it messes with the advertising we're using to help defray the costs (e.g. people can collapse the Google Sidebar), and we've not found out how to make sure some elements aren't collapsible.

Scafloc Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Ran, I don't think that helps as protection. Even though you have turned the collapsible element off it is rather easy to deactivate the google adds.I assume that with the collapsible element it is something that can be switched on per article. If so then you could create a custom made select (sql query) that will show you on which pages this is done. That would probably be a better method to check on this.

mor2 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 WHAT *going for Hubert Farnsworth voice* I dont even know how a person goes about doing that :shocked: what I do know, that if anyone wants to avoid advertisements, he can do this with a simple addon in 30seconds and few clicks...anyway, I still notice that problem with the talk/discussion tab names, they have the same name as the page tab.Also, did anyone tried the new preview/changes tab while in editing mode? it seem to load endlessly for me, thou it can be just my crappy connection acting up...

Ran Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 There was a massive difference between collapsed vs. non-collapsed AdSense bar, actually. You say it's "easy", and it's true, but the reality is most people do not actually have ad blockers.If anyone wants to research the topic of deciding which items can be set to not collapse, I'd be happy to implement that.

Scafloc Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Again: if removing the ads can be done with the collapsible tables and this is something that has to be done on each page you are probably better off with a query for these pages don;t you think?

mor2 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I think there is only one, tables no? infovox, navbars are all made from tables and you can make spoiler/additional info tables...p.s. I dont know how exatly it works, but if the AdSense bar is made of div's only there, then walla? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mor2 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Damn connection, i thought I already posted hours ago. anywya, about that tab problem, is it possbile that replacing this:var $item=$link.wrap('<li><span></span></li>').parent().parent(); with this: var $item;if($portlet.hasClass('vectorTabs')){$item=$link.wrap('<li><span></span></li>').parent().parent();}else{$item=$link.wrap('<li></li>').parent();}will solve the problem?

The Pale Griffin Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I can no longer see the coat-of-arms on the character pages. As that is the only way to brighten up the pages of lesser known nobles who have no images, I was wondering why that was removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mor2 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 The variable name was missing an underscore, thus it defaulted on the pagename. fixed. P.s. Please keep page specific discussion to the wiki, it will keep all related discussion in one place(instead it's spreading over time in multiple threads) and serve as unofficial FAQ, thanks.

mor2 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I am little confused from the lack of feedback on the tab problem, I dont think I am the only one who experiences it (if so here is the problem). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scafloc Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Ah, I see what you mean. I am seeing the tabs without labels but as I am using a personal css with the wiki, I thought that that (personal css) was causing it. So I did not bother.No idea how the solve it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
