Integrating Google Street View Widget and Semantic Mediawiki together
Hi Sergey, it's Sam from the Melpedia website. I wanted to get your thoughts on the best practice of integrating the Semantic Mediawiki together with your Google Street View (GSW) widget. If you have a look at the following page, you can see the widget working correctly, the trouble I'm having is getting the coordinates on the page to feed into the widget. You can see that I've retrived them, but feeding them into the widget by passing them in the template also passes a lot of other junk ( tags etc for the popups).

The other route I thought of taking was to create a custom template for the #ask. Inside the custom template would contain the widget code. This seems to work but it escapes all the output meaning that I get the javascript for the Google Street View on the page but it doesn't parse it. Any thoughts on how to get these to play nicely together? Thanks! Rodeoclash 10:51, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I think it's better to send this stuff to the group - this way some other people might be able to help so you don't need to wait for me. In any case, I think you can try using "link" parameter for ask query (this is how you feed the widget if I understand correctly) and set it to "none" - this might help. --Sergey Chernyshev 19:53, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!
Love the Tabs!!!!


 * Thanks, enjoy it! --Sergey Chernyshev 20:38, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

using Widget:Feed to integrate WordPress RSS
http://wordpress.org/development/feed/ http://domain/blog/wp-rss.php
 * any idea why an RSS feed from a WordPress Blog doesn't work? i've been testing with:
 * Otherwise, very exciting stuff, which will make a huge productivity difference on a number of projects that i'm currently working on. thanks! -jay--79.173.139.120 16:37, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I have no idea - it's probably a question to Feed2JS.org who actually provides this service. It's not a very speedy service actually - maybe it's worth redoing the Widget using some other service instead. This might be a good candidate for replacing Feed2JS: http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/wizards/dynamicfeed.html --Sergey Chernyshev 17:49, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Update: just discovered that wordpress feeds are rewritten. you need to call the feed direct using the following protocol.
 * might look into the google service in the background. thanks again!  -jay --79.173.139.120 15:05, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Does work in Linux but not in Mac X, Link broken
Hello

this is very odd, I followed the instructions for 2 mediawiki 1.9.3 installations one on Kubuntu 8.04, one on Mac X (Leopard).

However while the Linux version works nicely, the Mac version does not. When I add the relevant calendar code to a page in the Mac installation the resulting page is COMPLETELY empty. Nothing is seen so I can not delete the page nor can I edit them again.

could anybody please tell me what the problem is? Oub 18:39, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * to understand what's going on on MacOS, please look into website's error.log and see what's being output. To edit the broken page again, just add "&action=edit" in the query string and remove widget code - this is a quick solution to the page being broken. It's probably better to follow-up on the mailing list instead of talk pages: http://groups.google.com/group/mediawiki-widgets - this way others will be able to help as well. --Sergey Chernyshev 20:15, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Re: Sergey well this trick seems not to work, to give you and example: one page which is not damaged and can be edited appears as:

http://somewiki/wiki/index.php?title=Seminario_Google_Calendar&action=edit
 * However when I click on the damaged page, I obtain

http://somewiki/wiki/index.php/Seminar_Calendar
 * so adding &action=edit does not help since it leads to

http://somewiki/wiki/index.php/Seminar_Calendar&action=edit
 * Which is not correct, odd, isn't it Oub 21:14, 6 April 2009 (UTC):
 * thanks, I agree but I did not know about this mailing list, thanks for pointing it out Oub 21:04, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, just replace "&" with "?" and it should work then. --Sergey Chernyshev 21:24, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Widget: Vimeo bug with line breaks
Friendly greetings Sergey! I'm enjoying and am appreciative of your widgets, including the Vimeo one. However, I've noticed a bug: line breaks immediately after the Vimeo widget don't work until there's some special formatting like a new section header. I wonder why this is and can you please have a look? For instance:

test line 1 test another line

If you enter this on a MediaWiki with your Vimeo Widget installed, it appears as "test line 1 test another line" right after the video as shown here. Is there an easy way to fix this? Thanks so very much! --Torley 18:02, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it's this way by design - Widgets extension tries not to introduce any extra tags so all kind of widgets can be created, including inline ones. Is there any problem with just putting space after it as with any other formatting? --Sergey Chernyshev 02:25, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
