User talk:Nad

Hello Nad, welcome on MediaWiki.og. I noted the image User-Nad.jpg. Could you please provide information on its source and author? Many thanks -- :Bdk: 12:37, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Extension:Skinny
(from Extension talk:Skinny)

Nad - as an alternative to deletion, we could keep this page with details about which versions of MediaWiki it applies to (i.e. the versions before MW could handle this). Is that a better idea, or has this functionality always been there, and you just didn't realise :-) --HappyDog 16:42, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yip the functionality was always there, I just didn't realise you could do named parameters in templates :-/
 * No problem - have deleted it, along with its talk page. --HappyDog 18:42, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I have deleted this image, as it is not relevant to the project. Please see About this site for more information, in particular "MediaWiki.org is not a repository of links, images, or media files". If you would like to include this image on your user page you need to upload it to commons (if that is allowed - I'm not sure what the rules are over there). --HappyDog 17:58, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Simple Forms
Does this extension do anything yet? I played with it some but it couldnt get it to do anything other than send me to a edit form. --198.70.22.217 20:17, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not ready yet, I've added a note on the page to say it's still in development - pretty close though --Nad 20:52, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

SimpleCalendar
Hey Nad - first of all, I wanted to thank you very-very much; I really appreciate all this wiki-work you do, and I wish I could do the same, in order to publish these works freely...

Anyway, I liked your SimpleCalendar extension, but I just couldn't make it work, I don't know why... I'll detail here the phases I have done in order to make it work, and I'll be happy if you could tell me what have I missed/done wrong.

I do have experience with extensions; I have built some of my own (too specific to be included here... :-) ).

Here it is:

include('extensions/SimpleCalendar.php');
 * I have created the file SimpleCalendar.php
 * I have copied into it the text from here:
 * Saved and uploaded to the extensions folder.
 * Inserted the following line into LocalSettings.php -
 * Uploaded that file (into the root directory)

First testings:
 * In my version page, I can see your credit (Simple Calendar (version 1.2.1, 2007-05-07), A simple calendar extension, by User:Nad )
 * I have created a "test" page, and put there only the following code:
 * Saving; refreshing; nothing. All I see is this:

It just ignores the extension, somehow.

Other extensions, as I said, work; I also installed the "Extension:Variables", and if I enter the following input in the test page: I save and get the following output: (Demowiki is the username...)

That's it, I think...

Oh - and I have:
 * 1)  MediaWiki: 1.6.10
 * 2) PHP: 4.4.1 (cgi)
 * 3) MySQL: 4.0.27-standard

If it matters.

Thanks ahead! Peleg 08:27, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem - on MediaWiki version 1.6.x the parser functions don't use the # character by default, just remove that, eg
 *  
 * I've updated the Extension:Simple Calendar page to have a note about this. --Nad 21:37, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * hehe... AS simple as that... Thanks!! Peleg 07:27, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

What do you think?
Hi Nad, looking how many extensions you develop, i thought if you could help in adding features to Semantic Forms extension http://discoursedb.org/SemanticForms/ As i can see you are working with Ajax, so you could do improves in this direction. Here i'll post some features i requested in SF groups. Would like to know what you think and if you have interesting. I'm not a coder, just an user. The SF would more people working on it.

 * I really lke Chat/Lace extension from Firebreather too. Why you don't help him in dev? i gave many ideas to him, included about the map.
 * Thanks for your interest, I'll definately look into the Semantic Forms discussion as I'm very interested in the Semantic MediaWiki extension. many of the extensions I'm writing are for clients who use MediaWiki on their intranets, and I have a lot of work to do which I can't really deviate from, but I'm helping FireBreather with WikiChat indirectly by working on a generic Ajax layer that he can use - in fact it can work more dynamically than Ajax by using SWF's XMLSocket which can receive incoming requests rather than just recieving responses which the Ajax objects are limited to. --Nad 23:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
