New Pages created with forms not adding to article total?
When I create a new page it adds it to the right category but it does not add

to the end of the page so it will not add it to the article total, how do I get it to add this to each page?

 * Just add that in to the template (if I understood the question correctly). Yaron Koren 02:53, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

It seems like the template already does that when you set it up but although it adds the page to the Category it does not add it to the content count? ---Redeye 05:17, 4 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know - that's weird. Yaron Koren 15:00, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Ive got the same problem on 2 installs of SF now, Dont surppose anyone knows how to fix this? the only way I can get the amout to update is to go to each page created and edit not with a form and save the page, but while at the moment the site is not live to Jo Public I can do that, once it goes live its going to be hard to do that to 100 pages a day Redeye 23:26, 9 November 2010 (UTC)


 * That seems very odd - the saving mechanism is basically the same whether the form is used or not. SF just adds an intermediate step. Yaron Koren 00:42, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Tell me about it! It makes no sense. Is anyone else having this issue? is there a script I could run to fix the problem or something? Redeye 09:03, 10 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Do you use the Templates which contains your Category Tag in the Pages where the Category is missing? Sounds a bit like a Template that only gets added by the Form and not without it. You could although try to rebuild you semantic index, which will clean the cache for all pages.SBachenberg 14:32, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

 * How about using it? Is there a possibility to use it "On Mouse over" instead of "On Mouse Click"? --Martin 16:02, 4 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Not at the moment, I don't think. If someone were to create such a thing, that would be cool - the current #info function is actually part of SMW, not SF. Yaron Koren 15:00, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Is "show on select" working in v2.0.3?
I just upgraded to Semantic Forms 2.0.3, and now I'm getting javascript errors (Object doesn't support this property of method) whenever I use "show on select". Looking for a solution, I visited the Referata Scratchpad here (created by Daniel5000 and discussed earlier in this forum), and the same issue is happening. (I'm using IE7 and Firefox 3.6.8.) --Hermhut 14:33, 5 November 2010 (UTC)


 * The issue isn't browser dependent. It is broken in all browers (chrome included). Something is wrong with the JScripts, I think. Needless to say, it's not functioning for me either.

 * Hi - thanks to both of you for pointing this out. I don't know how I let such a major error slip past me. I just fixed the problem in SVN, and it'll be in the next version, 2.0.4, which I hope to release soon. Yaron Koren 14:55, 7 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I just installed the latest SVN files and now the "show on select" feature works, but it breaks FancyBox (if "uploadable" and "show on select" are used on the same form). Also, the "Add another" functionality is now flaky and sometimes doesn't work on pages with "show on select". I guess I'll just stick with v2.0.2 until v2.0.4 is released. Thanks. --Hermhut 16:05, 8 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Hermhut - I couldn't duplicate this, with either MW 1.16 or MW 1.17. What version of MediaWiki are you using? And could you try to duplicate the issue on a public wiki? http://scratchpad.referata.com is one possibility - it uses MW 1.16. Yaron Koren 21:01, 8 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I created the Form:Fancy on the public wiki. You'll notice that "Add another" does not work. Edit the page, removing "show on select", and it works fine. If you can get that working, then you'll want to make sure "uploadable" works.  (It doesn't work if you edit a page already created with multiple uploads, and that page contains show on select.) Thanks. --Hermhut 23:56, 8 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for reproducing that. The problem happened because you had a semicolon at the end of your "show on select" - basically the same exact problem as this; I thought I had fixed it, but apparently not completely. The problem should be fixed now, in the code in SVN. Yaron Koren 18:02, 9 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Yaron, it appears to be working now. --Hermhut 20:08, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

2.0.3 not working!
MediaWiki internal error.

Exception caught inside exception handler

Thats the error I get when I enable the latest version of forms. I was running 2.0.1 fine but when I installed the bundle to a new website it put 2.0.3 on and my wiki is dead lol. Please help Redeye 11:40, 7 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi - this could be anything. Please add the following to LocalSettings.php, so you can see the actual error: "$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;". Yaron Koren 14:59, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Combox
Can you guys help me and tell me why the combos from "Funcionamento" that means "Working hours" is not working properly?

http://www.wikirio.com.br/index.php?title=Sandbox:Galeto&action=formedit

I mean, it should be reading values I added in the property...

Regards


 * HI, Your propertys like:
 * Funcionamento: as Funcionamento: h
 * should be changed to something that work (I did that for you):
 * Funcionamento:: as Funcionamento:: h
 * but you should add a "|" to the end of your parameters like:
 * Funcionamento:: as Funcionamento:: h
 * because if the parameters are Empty, you will get some errors. SBachenberg 14:49, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Styling the "Free Text" Textarea
Currently the default textarea has its width set to "auto" as applied by SemanticForms.css. textarea.createboxInput { width: auto; } textarea.mandatoryField { width: auto; } In IE8 this results in a free text area with (estimated) 50% width. When applying my own class .formtextarea as described in your extension page using "class=formtextarea" the width setting cannot be overwritten. Is there a way to change this behaviour without altering your original CSS file to something like width:90%? I guess the "auto"-setting is there for good reason. My only solution thus far was "min-width 90%" which is not optimal and may cause problems otherwise. (Mike)

Calling the WikiEditorModule within a Form (Free Text Area)
Is there a possibility to call the "WikiEditorModules" (UsabilityInitiative) within a form (i.e the Free Text Area)? It works in normal edits but doesn't show up within the form.

More than one default form is defined for this page
Can you guys help me resolving this issue? "More than one default form is defined for this page."
 * Sounds like you have assigned multiple forms to this page in either the page itself, the namespace or the category the page belongs to. You should use one "Has default form" declaration per page maximum. If you need more than one form for a page, use the "Has alternate form" property. (MIKE)

Feature Request: Special:RunQuery as part of a Wikipage + a Bug
Hi Yaron, is it possible to have a "Special:RunQuery"-Form in an existing Wikipage ? Like a part of the Page where you can query things. That means that this Page can have a nice url / title, better than "Run query: Project search".

There although seams to be an error if you place a Fromlink in the Form used by Special:RunQuery. The RunQuery Page isn't able to search anything, because the "Run query" Button does nothing. SBachenberg 14:27, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
