User talk:Nad

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)

A interesting extension you may want to know
Hi Nad! I know you've done your best to develop the Simple Form Extension for a long time. There is a form extension ,I think, you would like to know.--Roc michael 12:31, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, yes I've been keeping my eye on that one ;-) and Extension:Semantic Forms is a major MediaWiki forms tool too --Nad 12:37, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

PdfBook Error Solution....for me at least
Nad,

I ended up creating an additional temp file which I had HTMLDoc redirect the output to. This was the only way I was able to have it not quit during the process PDF conversion process. I then open the file and read its data back into $content. After doing that I am able succsefully download the complete pdf file.

But I have another question for you.....I have seen a jspwiki which retrieves all the articles for a category and lists them on a page and uses a form to allow you to select which ones you want. It then retrieves the selected articles as one entire book. Is there a way to include a similar form in Mediawiki. Or do you know of a way to use an external html web page to retrieve/send commands like that to Mediawiki?

Thanks,

Dan --136.182.158.145 21:27, 7 September 2007 (UTC)


 * The PDf Book extension will allow exceptions so that not all items in the category are included. It would be possible to have it add items to the selection in the same way. A form could then be used to generate the list from which the book is made. I'll have a think about that though because it's an interesting point you make, that books could be generated from queries rather than just categories... --Nad 22:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Extension implementation types
Given the large number of extensions you have authored, I wonder if you would be willing to give some feedback on a current discussion on implementation types (see Template_talk:Extension). (And sorry about the misclassification of your interwiki extension). Egfrank 14:42, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Thumbnails problem
Hi Nad,

Thank you for your reply in the project support desk. Do you mind taking another look as I am still having trouble Project:Support_desk. -David 60.52.107.235 04:21, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you, you helped me solve the problem! The solution was changing "$wgSharedUploadDirectory = "$IP/commons/images"; " 60.52.107.235 05:32, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Just create a symlink from one to the other, eg,

ln -s ...public_html/commons ...public_html/fr/commons

Oops! my bad
Typo - it should be both, shouldn't it? action for the fact it nukes, special because it does it through a special page. Egfrank 00:49, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yip that makes sense :) --Nad 00:50, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
