===SSL Certificate of organicdesign is invalid, scaring people off... ===
 
:{{to do|task=find out who is responsible for fixing this}}
 
::I'm responsible for that, SSL is only intended for private users not public so paying for some corporate trust is a waste in that case. You're being redirected to SSL now because I made you a sysop a few days ago. You can add an exception so it doesn't keep raising warnings. --[[User:Nad|nad]] 13:05, 17 September 2010 (NZST)
 
:It doesn't really bother me at all, but some of my friends go to the site; they don't even have accounts. Perhaps i'm copying to them the url with the https: instead of http: - that must be it. Additionally, FYI for me at least, neither Firefox or Chrome want to remember the exception I keep adding.
 
::I'll pay for a cert once my cashflo's built up a bit, I'm only just keeping head above water this year so I've been putting it off... --[[User:Nad|nad]] 10:31, 18 September 2010 (NZST)
 
  
::Now that is exactly the subject-matter of one of the things I wished to discuss with Infomaniac. The email telling me my talk page had been created then edited sent me to your https version, and Firefox was most concerned about it. Wouldn't let me visit without creating an exception. Explained thus:
 
:::www.organicdesign.co.nz uses an invalid security certificate.
 
 
:::The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed.
 
 
:::(Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)
 
 
::Being cautious but ignorant about security, I had no certainty about adding the suggested exception. Using the old lateral thinking, I deleted the "s" from the URL and all was well. It was probably the wiki's setup, not you, that was copying to me the URL with the "s". Can that be looked into? I've no desire to be admitted to the inner sanctum, so I'd prefer to be invited to http://.

#No worries about the breadcrumbs - it was Aran that fixed them upon my prodding - I just pointed out to him that your [[2012 - Fact Or Fiction?]] article structure would benefit from having breadcrumbs, it was like you created that structure with breadcrumbs in mind. I had also previously wondered about why breadcrumbs didn't show up on another wiki of mine which I use for private notes. Aran was puzzled, since there is a setting to enable breadcrumbs wikia-wide (for all Organic Design wikis) that had failed to turn on breadcrumbs. Turns out there was a setting in mediawiki:common.css that overrode the wikia-wide setting and turned breadcrumbs off.
 
#Anyway, I am wondering what you are going for with the structure of that article. I think it would be cool to have a way to list all of an author's soundbites (or link to them) on the author's page in a way that is generated by your sub-page structure. There should be a DPL report that can achieve that. Or is that not what you're going for?
 
#In any case, thanks for really getting your hands dirty to figure out this 2012 thing. Any conclusions or certainties so far, or is it too early to tell?--[[User:Milan|Milan]] 18:52, 28 October 2010 (PDT)
 
 
:re:#2 yes,  I wanted to use categories or queries to slice and dice each speaker's position. Basically i wanted to atomise each statement to compare and evaluate each on it's own merit, using the talk page for supporting or negating links. Eventually I'd like to make these links function as a rating and weighting system. This structure also appears to lend itself to a blog/tweet format.--[[User:Infomaniac|Infomaniac]] 19:13, 28 October 2010 (PDT)

:re:#3, yes, but I'll have to get to that in a larger project. It's not simple. I don't think that anything will happen on December 21 {{tag|2012}} - it's an astronomical marker of an epoch that we have entered. our sun's behaviour is changing, it will affect our weather, and thus the status quo. I'm not sure about our solar system's position affecting humanity in a 'spiritual' way, via a change in radiation, but it certainly would explain the changes of the sun.--[[User:Infomaniac|Infomaniac]] 13:49, 1 November 2010 (PDT)
 
 
== Problems with some links ==
 
 
Yo, awesome article - going through it now... I already fixed that link. The problem occurs if a template parameter value contains an "=" in it, it then thinks its a named parameter with a name of everything prior to the "=" symbol. --[[User:Nad|nad]] 14:29, 12 October 2011 (PDT)
 
:e.g. if you have the following <nowiki>{{foo|http://bar.baz?a=b&c=d}}</nowiki> then instead of parameter 1 being the URL it will think there's one parameter called "http://bar.baz?a" equal to "b&c=d". The solution is this: <nowiki>{{foo|1=http://bar.baz?a=b&c=d}}</nowiki> - i.e. the "1=" at the start to force it to recognise the rest as being the value of a parameter named "1".
 
Thanks!
 
 
==my contributions==
 
 
is there a link/parameter for 'my contributions' that does an auto listing of pages without a changelog, just the recent version?
 
 
== Single Page Application ==
 
 
Don't know if you've looked in the [[Single Page Application]] concept, but if not check it out it's awesome - it's much more than just the idea of the whole app running in one index.html - the key point is the "hash fragments" and "inner browsing" concept. --[[User:Nad|nad]] 02:03, 17 November 2011 (PST)
 
 
==Minor imperfections in the site's emails about watchlist activity==
 
Here's the text of the most recent email, saying I did something I didn't.
 
 
Dear Robin Patterson,
 
 
 
The OrganicDesign Wiki page Category:News has been changed on 08:11, 5

That's the first time the system has produced such a definite error. But the above also illustrates a constant error: "There will be no other notifications in case of further changes unless you visit this page." - despite saying that every time, the system continues to send me such notifications even if I haven't visited the page lately.
 
 
I don't mind, but your experts may like to get things right in that area.
 
 
Kind regards. [[User:Robin Patterson|Robin Patterson]] 01:16, 9 December 2011 (PST)

hosting

  • Need a place to host SMW+ - preferably in the southern hemisphere South America (aside from poor bandwidth in northern Brazil, latency to NZ is a problem).
  • Or use Osirus?
  • Or what is the status of Diaspora?
