User talk:Jack Phoenix/archive 2

I am looking to partner with a developer to create a website using the Mediawiki engine. Can you or someone recommend such a person(s) or company? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.159.86.10 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~ !

SUL Merging
Hi, sorry to disturb you, but i would know if you can merge Myst account on mediawiki with the Myst SUL account, thanks. 86.194.245.102 21:55, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi there, sorry about the delayed reply. I'm afraid that I cannot merge accounts; only Wikimedia stewards are able to do that. I can, however, rename local accounts out of the way. Let me know if you need the "Myst" account renamed on this wiki. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:01, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

User:Sunstar NW XP
Since you seem to be an active admin right now, could I ask you to block User:Sunstar NW XP? he's a known sock of User:Sunholm who is, essentially, banned across all wikis for constant disruption. He is currently blocked on several wikis, and makes claims on others (such as here) that those accounts on other wikis are not his (despite the single login). Thanks in advance, Either way 14:50, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

WhosOnline $wgDBPrefix
Hi, I'm going to try your trick of getting WhosOnline to work. In the whosonline.sql, do I have to remove '/*$wgDBPrefix*/' with my prefix mw_ or do I leave the /* */ too? Thanks Fader 23:54, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Replace /*$wgDBprefix*/ with mw_ since that is your database table prefix. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 10:33, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi.. I am interested in your Social Profile extension. It shows compatible with Mediawiki 1.13. Will it also work in Mediawiki 1.14? (that is what I have).. thanks


 * Unless I'm mistaken, the current trunk version not only works with, but requires MW 1.14. So yes, it should definitely work. Let me know if you need any help in installing or using it. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 14:20, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Jaa, no mistähän voisin kysyä asiasta?--88.113.38.202 13:52, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

CentralNotice Edits
Am a bit curious about why you removed a lot of the detail from the CentralNotice extension page. The majority of the detail I had was due to actual questions being asked relative to those topics. Did you feel that the level of detail was too much? If so can you recommend a better place to put it? --Tfinc 23:00, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Do you mean this edit? I fixed a typo (central-auth -> CentralNotice), fixed Trevor's username and removed excess spacing (i.e. == Design == &rarr; ==Design==) because it's relatively pointless - output is a &lt;h2&gt; in both cases. :) I'm quite sure that I didn't remove any actual information - at least not intentionally. But it's a wiki, feel free to revert. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 11:55, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Running a Script
Hello Jack, Im trying to install the SocialProfile extension in my wiki, but I can't run any command line in my hosted server, can I do it by another way. ( Sorry for my broken english ) --Andaluciars 11:27, 30 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, I don't think that your English is that broken at all. :-)


 * Anyway, do you have access to phpMyAdmin? If so, to create the tables, you'd just need to copy the SQL code from systemgifts.sql, user_board.sql, usergifts.sqluser_profile.sql, user_relationship.sql and user_stats.sql to your phpMyAdmin's SQL query prompt. You will also need to replace /* $wgDBprefix */ with the value of $wgDBprefix if it's not null.


 * Let me know if you need any further assistance. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:39, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Replace SocialProfile Avatars
well I am interested in using this extension called 'socialprofile' because it seems really great but is there a way to replace 'avatar' with another word like 'photo' for example. for instance, can i make it so that on the user profile page it show 'upload picture' instead of 'upload avatar' - do i have to edit more than its worth to do this or is there a a quick and easy way? thanks for you time- Gordon Mac 1 16:56, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * It can be done by editing the appropriate system messages. The messages you want to edit are:

user-upload-avatar user-profile-section-picture update_profile_nav removeavatar avatarupload-removeavatar avatarupload-currentavatar avatarupload-removesuccess avatarlogpage avatarlogpagetext user-profile-picture-log user-profile-picture-log-entry user-profile-picture-log-delete-entry right-avatarremove
 * --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 17:45, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * THANKS- that was alot easier than I thought. By the way, is there any information on user the extension called "random users with avatars"? I would like to show a list of users and their information on the main page or on another page.  I have tried to figure it out from the listed install documentation but it has got me stumped.  Any help would be great - thanks again. Gordon Mac 1 23:08, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Yep, it's a separate extension (with dependency on SocialProfile, heh) &mdash; see Extension:RandomUsersWithAvatars. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 11:32, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

SocialProfile - Overall, I can't upload a avatar because I don't know where to put the folder called 'avatar'
