The main calendar is already an example using the query arg, see news on Main Page - you need to ctrl+shift+refresh to reload CSS for red-links in calendar to work again because they're done from their own css rules now. --Nad 14:34, 2 May 2007 (NZST)


You should resize them to a practical size (or the size you'll use them at) before uploading, that's half a meg of images just for icons --Nad 09:34, 1 May 2007 (NZST)

Good point, I need to find some smaller ones --Sven 09:35, 1 May 2007 (NZST)

Yo, here's an example of action=text that I was talking about to allow dynamic queries by supplying wikitext directly in URL,

I've had to use %7b on the first brace so the parser leaves it alone, notice that there's no title specified, only the actual text we want parsed. It only works for action=render currently, but later will be able to be used with all actions. --Nad 20:02, 27 April 2007 (NZST)

Nice --Sven 20:05, 27 April 2007 (NZST)

I changed the MW:Extension:CategoryHook to add a hook called CategoryHook which you can add you rules to instead of adding them directly to the code which was messy. It makes a good simple example of how to add a new hook, rather than just adding new functions to existing hooks. --Nad 16:29, 27 April 2007 (NZST)

k, will have a look, the author dpl stuff is not working as expected, the template is getting parsed aswell see template:author --Sven 16:30, 27 April 2007 (NZST)

You have to get the case right with security directives, groups are always all lowercase, and user must have the first letter uppercase. --Nad 14:39, 26 April 2007 (NZST)


Remember that the "message" css class applies to all templates using the message template such as warning, stub, legacy etc, not just to the site message. --Nad 20:29, 23 April 2007 (NZST)

Yes, the template:message you created was similar to what I wanted to do, having a transcluded format used with templates. --Sven 20:32, 23 April 2007 (NZST)

The fella I was gonna see has cancelled, so whatever time you wanna head over's fine, just lemme know... --Nad 09:27, 23 Mar 2007 (NZST) --- Did you know there's an IETF RFC for foo? RFC3092 --Nad 22:43, 27 Jan 2007 (NZST)

omg --Sven 20:22, 29 Jan 2007 (NZST)

You might be interested in Category:MediaWiki which has all our stuff re hacking normal MediaWiki's (mainly from LocalSettings). Especially check out parsing wikitext and MediaWiki variables. --Nad 21:17, 19 Jan 2007 (NZST)


Hey Sven, I remember our discussion about the science annotation and paper cross referencing. I'm at the MacWorld in SF and I looked at an interesting software product that does some of the same things.

--Rob 21:47, 9 Jan 2007 (NZST)

Thanks will check it out --Sven 21:04, 15 Jan 2007 (NZST)

Is your sister still interested in extra design work? azzuro want their external site reskinned - just need HTML/CSS templates for some standard layouts, probably $1000-$2000 arena --Nad 11:02, 6 Dec 2006 (NZDT)

I am sure she would be interested, I will let her know --Sven 13:52, 7 Dec 2006 (NZDT)

Hi there, I have recently met a guy that runs a bioinformatics company - Biomatters. They make a software that you may be interested in called "Geneious" http://www.geneious.com/. I recall you were developing ideas around setting up bioinformatics software for corporate clients and these guys are looking for ways to market their software. It sounds like an excellent product and it seems like they are looking for further contacts in the bioinformatics industry. Maybe you have some ideas for them regarding applications or distribution channels for their software? There might be some consultancy work in there or whatever. Anyway, I can put you in touch with their CEO if you're interested.--Milan 15:16, 25 Oct 2006 (NZDT)

I have already checked out the software and spoken to Alexi. --Sven 10:06, 26 Oct 2006 (NZDT)
Sweet! Are you guys going to be working together? I bump into Daniel Batten a fair bit, but I haven't met Alexi yet.--Milan 12:07, 26 Oct 2006 (NZDT)
I havent approached alexi to be involved, my area is in microarrays which I think is slightly different from what their software is about, although its all part of bioinformatics --Sven 14:10, 26 Oct 2006 (NZDT)
