Extension talk:Page Forms/Quick start guide

Inserted a tip about $wgMaxShellMemory = 512000;

Maybe it should go to the Extension:Semantic Forms/Common problems page ?

 * Thanks for the addition. Yes, I changed the wording a little and moved it to the "Common problems" page. Yaron Koren (talk) 16:49, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Installed from the .zip. When I do the Book example, the generated templates have too many curly braces for the Author and Genre properties.Alvaro Ortiz Troncoso (talk) 11:01, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Gap between Quick Start and Defining Forms
May be I've missed something, but for me it is very difficult to do basic updates of forms I've done with the quick start guide. After a "first shot" with creating properties, forms and template, usually there is a need for improvements and additions. It would be great if the quick start guide provides some rather basic use cases (e. g. change the input type of a property, add a property etc) or if the "Defining Forms" article would cover such use cases.

For a beginner it is rather difficult to bet from the level of the quick start guide to the level of the defining forms article.


 * Agreed. I have been looking around to find out how to integrate page forms into an existing SMW installation. The idea of starting fresh is nice, but I don't have that luxury. I will need to add some dummy "class" to my SMW just to see how the form creates things and hopefully steal from there, so a bit more info here would be great.

 * What kind of information would you want? Is your data already stored via infobox-style templates, by the way? If not, that's presumably the big challenge. Yaron Koren (talk) 17:08, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
