Extension talk:SVGEdit

This extension is awesome but is there a way to create a new svg from scratch without having to upload one? That's the killer missing feature.. --Alterego 02:29, 16 December 2010 (UTC)


 * It should indeed be possible to add that. :D --brion


 * Apply this simple patch and it will be possible. Brion, could you include this patch into trunk? --VitaliyFilippov 17:53, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like this duplicates the recent work adding a button to the edit toolbar to create a new file... or is the idea to show on non-existing File: pages so it then saves to that file? --brion 19:47, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the idea is to show the button on non-existing File: pages. Patch fixes some js errors and uses #mw-imagepage-nofile as placeholder for SVGEdit, plus text on the button is changed so it tells about creating a new file. --VitaliyFilippov 17:15, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually that's quite clever. :D I'll peek it over when my MW time permits... --brion 18:50, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

No note in Special:Version?
Would it be possible to have the next version of the editor include a line in Special:Version? I had been trying forever to verify whether the extension installed properly or not, because I did not see anything in the Version list.

Thanks!

--Peter


 * If you have installed the extension, there will indeed be a line in Special:Version. (If you have set up a local gadget, then there won't be.) --brion 18:49, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Integration with WikiEditor
I am having real trouble in getting this extension to work. I cannot see the new button in WikiEditor that the documentation says should appear. To be clear, I have completed the following steps:


 * 1) Extracted the extension to the extensions/SVGEdit directory so that in that directory svgedit.php exists.
 * 2) Added require_once("$IP/extensions/SVGEdit/SVGEdit.php"); to my LocalSettings.php
 * 3) Added the line $wgFileExtensions[] = 'svg'; to LocalSettings.php to "enable SVG support"  I hope that was the right thing to do.

Is there anything else I need to complete to make the extension work? I feel I must be missing something obvious.


 * What version of MW are you running? --brion 18:35, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * 1.17 - I am using a Bitnami stack, at the time it was 1.17 but I see that they have updated to 1.18 on their website.

YEY!!! I fixed my own problem!!!


 * Upgraded to 1.18
 * Upgraded WikiEditor to the 1.18 version

Bish bash bosh - an icon appeared on the toolbar to begin creating SVG diagrams!

Missing instructions for installing svg-editor
When I follow the instructions exactly, using MW 1.18.1, I get the following message when using the WikiEditor button for creating an new SVG: The requested URL /wiki/extensions/SVGEdit/svg-edit/svg-editor.html was not found on this server. Although it may be foggily implied, there's nothing in the installation instructions that says we need to install an svg-editor, nor where.

Me2 Am I missing something? --2001:980:331A:1:225:22FF:FE7D:8A27 15:01, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Found it, svgedit itself is definitely a different/bigger kettle of fish, and needs to be downloaded separately. --2001:980:331A:1:225:22FF:FE7D:8A27 16:13, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

No links?
Currently SVGEdit does not allow users to add IRI's (URI's) to objects. Isn't it supposed to be a wiki? ;-) --2001:980:331A:1:225:22FF:FE7D:8A27 16:13, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
