User talk:Nad

Can you make my Personal catorgery on the peerix too please?

---

Can you please change my peerix construction links to articles.....thanks! Zen ;-)

Yip, just keep editing them how they are for now and I'll change their names and links soon, just real busy at the mo. Should I also change the "fashion" name to "construction" since it's a bit confusing having the link use a different word than the article name? --Nad 16:37, 16 Mar 2007 (NZDT)

yeah that would be good....also some of my links for garments not made yet and # in construction have gone? I also would like these under construction/autumn winter 2007. Ta

I've already added those serialz, I'll move to autumn cat soon ;-)

Cool...I'm not sure how I add extra articles into the catorgery construction though, as I have more patterns to add?

Just create the article by typing it into the address bar at the top, or into the search box on the left, then edit as usual --Nad 11:23, 19 Mar 2007 (NZST)

Fk It, it doen't show in the catergory when I do this?

Don't stress, you need to add a link to the category in the page you've made for it to go in that category. --Nad 13:43, 19 Mar 2007 (NZST)

Yo, I've been trying to extend the length of the input text box in Xmlwiki-search.html (wikipedia's appears to be a bit wider), but cannot seem to make it larger. Any ideas? --Sven 15:12, 16 Mar 2007 (NZDT)

It's probly done with css classes (too busy currently to check it out) - I actually had it linking to pedia and google etc already, but Rob wanted ite removed cos too ugly... --Nad 16:15, 16 Mar 2007 (NZDT)

Found it, thought it might be that myself. Made a test php script called StripNewlines.php to remove newlines and whitespace serverside, took me ages as I went about it all wrong :( --Sven 16:36, 16 Mar 2007 (NZDT)

It's working but it looks like shit tho - you'll have to make the buttons cute or something! --Nad 16:50, 16 Mar 2007 (NZDT)

its only a hack to get it looking a bit better, personally I would like images for buttons, colorized Google etc --Sven 18:21, 16 Mar 2007 (NZDT)

What about using their icons? --Nad 19:15, 16 Mar 2007 (NZDT)

Yeah? Prob easiest to grab. Suggest doing any development on my version Sven:xmlwiki-search.html in the Sandbox --Sven 08:01, 17 Mar 2007 (NZDT)

You always gotta do things the hard way - why not just grab the pedia and google icons directly off a browser screenshot instead of finding logo's and resizing etc - maybe rip off firefox's "go" and search icons too.... --Nad 10:09, 17 Mar 2007 (NZDT)

The 'G' logo was the only one I searched for, grabbed the others directly off the sites, but havent het done any screenshots. downloading firefox now to grab the go and search buttons (good idea) --Sven 15:40, 17 Mar 2007 (NZDT)

Heres some rough options just for ideas

Personally i like this one . I will take some screenshots definately easiest --Sven 15:56, 17 Mar 2007 (NZDT)

Yeah I'm into those rack mounted systems too ;-) --Nad 16:15, 17 Mar 2007 (NZDT)

I love the Wikichat.png you created. I presume that it is intended for the WikiChat site logo? Well...um... I already uploaded it to the site :) ...

Yip, I added a smiley I found on google to replace the mediawiki flower in their logo :-) I would have added it myself, but you didn't add the localsettings hack so I can change the config from the wiki... --Nad 15:46, 15 Mar 2007 (NZDT)

So the LocalSettings.php hack is working now, but the page isn't secure. I put in the security extension as you described here Exensions but it doesn't seem to be working. Unfortunately, I've only got limited access to the net at the moment because I'm at the airport, but I figure I've got to sort this one out so the whole site is open to the wind. I tried uncommenting the security thing on LocalSettings.php i.e. {{#security:*|sysop}}, but no protection added because I get this parse error in index.php ... Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/firebrea/wikichat/index.php(19) : eval()'d code on line 69
... which I think comes from the eval line, i.e:-

## hack to allow LocalSettings.php to be edited from the LocalSettings.php article on the wiki

$tmp = new Article( Title::newFromText('LocalSettings.php') );

eval('?'.'>'.$tmp->getContent().'<'.'?');

so that means the parse error is coming from the LocalSettings.php article... and that caused by me uncommenting the security magic words, which means the security extension isn't working. I have the right settings in the LocalSettings.php file though, so there must be something missing to enable the extension I think.

Any ideas? I'm currently reading the SimpleSecurity stuff on MediaWiki to try and figure it out. Firebreather 13:19, 16 Mar 2007 (NZDT)

Also, the protect article action provided by MediaWiki doesn't seem to be actually applying any protection since I can edit LocalSettings when I'm not logged in, but the protection is set to sysop.

• You can tell the security isn't working because on pages with security a padlock and message shows up (except for localsettings page since that's all greek since no syntax-rendering).
• The localsettings hack is working fine because we can update the logo and other config changes so lets just forget that article for now and test the security in a non-mangled page like Sandbox or something. Maybe try removing tree and only including security first since thats most important. perhaps the permissions aren't set right on the SimpleSecurity.php file in extensions? Try replacing the SimpleSecurity.php code again since some changes have been made recently?

It's hard to tell without being able to take a look - maybe you should get a less crippled host like http://www.vpslink.com/ which can give you a dedicated VPS starting at us$8/month... --Nad 14:12, 16 Mar 2007 (NZDT)

I tried the protect stuff on the Sandbox page and its definitely not working..can't shell in because I've only got http access at the airport.. got to jump on the plane now. Firebreather 14:42, 16 Mar 2007 (NZDT)

quick thought... is SimpleSecurity not working because I haven't installed the ParserFunctions extension?

In Zenovia/Business/Construction on the peerix can you show me how to link back my links to the contruction list and the construction list back to Zenovia/Business? Ta ;-) --Zenovia (NZST)

Hey I'm still not permitted? have you looked at my changes recently? Zenovia.

yes I got your message and also responded to it? It is logged in as Zenovia and I still can't get access?

Expandable left menu

Hi Nad, could you let me know how can I install expendable left menu - similar to the one on this side? You can also answer on my (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Aretai | Mediawiki talk pages), thx in advance.

Hi Aretai, I haven't made an extension for the expandable sideBar, but its quite simple to replicate by looking at the code in OrganicDesign:Wikitext-skin.php. There's a Javascript function added to the head scripts, and a link to call it added to the action links. --Nad 12:47, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Your wiki skin differs a little bit from MonoBook. Do you think it's possible to have such menu in MonoBook as well. If yes what needs to be changed? Could you give me the contact to the user who has modified your skin? As I'd be also interested in some other details (Sitemap), flash recent changes, etc, Thx in advance. --Aretai

I do all the MediaWiki code here, yep it can be added to monobook quite easily, I added info to your MW talk --Nad 20:18, 6 Mar 2007 (NZST)

Hi Aran, Are you around for a visit? Just give me a bell if you are --Schwaney 02:58, 4 Mar 2007 (NZST)

yeah, me 'neither before i started trying on different world views. its a pitty that, as "theosis" (enlightenment, whatever) is IMHO the whole point of christianity, or humanity, in fact. weird thing is, if i hadn't fallen into this orthodox crackery prior too/about the same time i became involved in the project, i would have blown the project off as "hippy buddhist new age nonsense". I AM THAT. what more can i say? --Phalseid 00:39, 1 Mar 2007 (NZST)

Yeah I know what you mean, that's why there's hardly anyone here! but what can ya do - there's no point trying to hide the spiritual aspect, and as the code gets developed more people will use it and learn the principles. --Nad 01:14, 1 Mar 2007 (NZST)
