Heiya Jereon,
this is for your tireless efforts on making extensions more professional as well as having an ear for the community. I and presumably a lot of other people out there very much appreciate this. Cheers and keep up your excellent work.

Editor rights

Hi, I have an extension named eduWIKI, but now I have to go through Pending Changes. Is it okay if you would add Editor to my user account? Thanks!

Never mind.

Older version of Spark?

Hi,

Do you happen to have a version of Spark that would work with MW version 1.16.5? My organization would really like to implement your extension, but since we just upgraded to 1.16.5 I don't think we'll be upgrading to 1.17 for quite some time.

Thanks. Linda

LGGreen19:15, 6 December 2011

No, Spark was written for 1.17 and later. Why did you upgrade to 1.16.5? 1.18 was just released...

Semantic Google Maps with kml?

Jeroen, for a documentation site on landgrabbing issues I managed to set up a semantic mediawiki (1.17) including semantic maps (1.03). Forms and a results map have been straightforward to implement, but now I have been asked if we could display the contents of a kml or kmz file in such a map. I have tried to understand the maps code (I am not really good in php), but I found no real entry point or hint that this is implemented in semantic google maps. From my understanding, it however seems to have been implemented in the normal mediawiki google maps.

Could you please shed some light on this?

If you use Google Maps v3 as service (which is the default), then you can add kml and kmz files using the kml and gkml parameters. These are accepted by display_map, display_points and semantic queries with format map or googlemaps.

This is what I do so far - it displays the map with the places from the DemoLandgrab category if they have coordinates. I thought I could add the kml coordinates to this map - visible only when zooming in. But I would be at least as happy with a map showing only the kml outline, I just couldn't find out the syntax how to accomplish that.

The KML parser of Semantic Maps does not support the LinearRing element, so it, and all the point it contains, are getting dropped. You can try the gkml param instead, which sends the KML to Google services and get the tiles from there.

Jeroen De Dauw23:08, 29 November 2011

Thanks, Jeroen. I couldn't get it to work immediately, but will try again tomorroy. Additionally I found your blog plus some documentation on referata.com, which will probably help.

Thanks again, also for this excellent extension to MediaWiki

Ratings Extension

I hope I didn't give the impression that I was impugning you or the extension - you do excellent work all around, please keep it up!

Thanks :)

extension developement

hello, i'm the owner of www.ratingstars.org and i'd like it to become a reviews website where any logged in user can submit star rating (10 stars) as many times he wants, but for every user there will be 1 average. so overall rating would look like this: The Avatar Movie 7,55/1000 votes/200 users. it will allow to generate chart with line presenting changes of the average in time. it should also allow authors of the articles to manually include ratings (average and number of votes) from external websites during the page edit.could you do that? and how much does it cost? maybe you would like to cooperate on this website and share profits?

Mainspace redirect to your userpage?

I see you added this for ease of linking. Just seems a little odd...we don't usually put mainspace redirects for userpages. If we did, I'd expect Brion and Tim to already exist ;-)

^demon19:07, 26 September 2011

It's to have a shorter/nicer URL. If it's a problem, I'll just remove it again, but I don't see any harm done with it.

Jeroen De Dauw19:13, 26 September 2011

It's the only one of its kind? I realize it doesn't harm anything (it's hard to really cause harm on a wiki, yes?)...just a matter of "we don't do that."

Extension:SlimboxThumbs

Hi

I just installed this on MedaWiki, but can not get it to work.

MediaWiki is ver 1.15. I downloaded the latest snapshot of SlimboxThumbs from SF. Installed the SlimboxThumbs folder etc in /extensions/ I added "include_once("$IP/extensions/SlimboxThumbs/SlimboxThumbs.php");" at the end of LocalSettings.php

My image is addressed by "

File:Webtreesaccess.jpg
Setting User Access

"

Is there something I've missed?

You can see it at http://wiki.webtrees.net/Access_and_Privacy

Nigel

203.118.156.15103:07, 3 November 2010

What is "SF" in "I downloaded the latest snapshot of SlimboxThumbs from SF"? Also, what am I supposed to see on the linked page? I don't see anything odd, and there doesn't appear to be any "My image is addressed by".

Jeroen De Dauw13:20, 3 November 2010

Sorry for those confusions. Ignore "SF", my error. I got the download of SlimboxThumbs by clicking on "Download snapshot" at www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SlimboxThumbs.

The link attached to "My image is addressed by" was converted to an image link, on the right of the post. Not much use to you, I realise. Sorry. Try http://wiki.webtrees.net/Access_and_Privacy

If you click on the image there, captioned "Setting user access", on the right-hand side, I expected it to open in slimbox, but it doesn't.

I have no doubt its my error - but need to help to see where.

Nigel

203.118.156.15118:55, 3 November 2010

Are you able to help, or is there someone else I should be asking?

203.118.156.15104:18, 9 November 2010

I intend to have a poke at this issue at some point, but that can take a while. After all, I'm not the maintainer of SlimboxThumbs. Sadly enough the person that is the maintainer does currently not have the time to look at it. So you are probably best of waiting with using the extension until it's more stable.

Let's Cornify the world!

Jeroen,

Great widget! We need more of these ;)

I've added some async loading to it so it doesn't slow down target site! ;)

Sergey Chernyshev02:11, 10 October 2010

Awesome, thanks :)

And now I know there is an async attribute for script tags in HTML 5 :)

RSS download

Just a note : the download snapshot functionnality of the RSS extension is not working.

Semantic MediaWiki

Hi Jeroen, I notice you have some experience with SMW. Can you please help me troubleshoot a page on my wiki? See http://libertapedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edward_Brown_%28prisoner%29&oldid=23038 (working version) and http://libertapedia.org/wiki/Edward_Brown_%28prisoner%29 (non-working version). I replaced the #ask with #show. Isn't that the command I'm supposed to use when I'm only trying to get one result? Once this is figured out, then there is a template I am also trying to troubleshoot, and then hopefully everything will be working as intended. Thanks.

By the way, if you get stuck on your project, or just want to bounce ideas of someone, feel free to drop me a line. I've only been programming MediaWiki for a few months, but I'm fairly good at research, and sometimes it's helpful to have a second pair of eyes look at a problem.

Tisane12:44, 26 May 2010

I don't see anything wrong there. I'm not that familiar with SMW syntax though. You're better off asking such a question on the SMW user list: semediawiki-user@lists.sourceforge.net

Thanks for your offer of support. Can you add me on some IM app (see user page for usernames)?
