Viewing Issue with Chrome browser

I made a couple minor changes to the way the CSS was being sent. Let me know if you see this again. I've been having trouble reproducing it.

Parts of sites inaccessible via Android phone browser

I was able to use my G1 phone to surf the wiki lots. Not sure how you clear cookies on that thing, but I'd try it. Beyond that, I can't debug this because I don't have a phone.

Bookmark Link Problem

Can you upload your sycamore_config.py file / link to it? Remove your password if it's in there. By the way, [sycamore]sycamore is the place to discuss setting up the software — we can move this discussion there later if need be.

Here is my sycamore_config.py [WWW]http://rafb.net/p/JFECLt94.html

Traceback on previous revisions

Server's Clock is Off?

What is your time zone set to in your settings (upper right)? I suspect it's set to the default — UTC — rather than US/Pacific. We should probably set the time zone of new accounts to the time zone of the wiki they sign up through. —PhilipNeustrom

Table of contents chokes on headings with links

Old version of a page

I'm seeing the latest edits being yours (see [WWW]the Info area). Can you give me detail? When I click Edit I see the current version of the page.

Stupid search suggestions

Question about Events Board Macro

Your answers confirmed my suspicians. Good luck with the updates!

Link appears broken but actually isn't

Another Login Bug

Do you mean that you don't get a URL emailed to you when you enter your email address when forgetting your password? Can you explain in more detail? You get a URL emailed to you but then when you click it you're not logged in and viewing the user settings page? Try clearing your browser cookies for good measure. —PhilipNeustrom

Mobile/CSS bug

case sensitive e-mail in password retrieval

This should be fixed now. —PhilipNeustrom

quickedit and unicode

Wiki Deletion fails

This is the way it'll work for a while. It's too confusing to say "will be deleted in no less than 30 days." The idea is that we'll purge wikis en-mass when we need to at some point.

non existent sub page to user page

User Statistics

Plan: ensure we always grab user stat counts from the DB - not cache (or something) - on increments. Write thing for maintenance script to normalize data.

I can't reproduce this, and I've tried a bit... —PhilipNeustrom

Something similar is happening to me, in the user statistics of IN wiki it shows much less than i know i have done. I can even see it from my user info from all wikis. I dont know if its related but my first edit date is unknown on it. The link to my profile is [WWW]http://inwiki.wikispot.org/Users/Sparrow —Sparrow

I thought it had been fixed awhile back? At any rate, DavidGrundler is experiencing a very clear example on [woodland]Woodland. He's got no signup date and shows three edits when he has been making many edits. —Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards

Reoccurrence (May 2010)

Image display error in SSR (Opera mobile)

This appears to be specific to Opera Mobile — it's not happening with Opera 9.21 for OS X. Any idea how me / someone else could debug this? Perhaps you could help hunt for the source of the issue? Maybe we can look at this together next time I see you. —PhilipNeustrom

Tinylogo not updating

Quick Edit does not work in includes

Footnotes broken

Login Failure

Wishlist: Notification of older versions on different entry

This is the desired behavior. The version history is on the old page. We don't move the version history because sometimes the page you're renaming to has a version history, as well.

Broken image to non-logged in visitors

It serves different html to logged in users versus non-logged in users when mail addresses are being displayed. There is a reference to [WWW]http://wikispot.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/mailto that doesn't exist and shows as a broken image icon. —JabberWokky

Can't clear default address locale

wikispot.org's web server rejecting HEAD requests?

Using the include macro causes footnotes so far to be dumped on page

RSS feeds use invalid date format

Map button fails silently with no explanation to the user when JavaScript is disabled

Quick edits and file uploads are missing text stating user agrees to license content

Good call with the quick edits and file uploads. Do you have a suggestion as to how to make the quickedit license text non-obtrusive?

Per-page security changes override all subsequent wiki-wide security changes?

There's some implicit behavior here. When you change the security settings on a page to be different from the wiki-wide settings the page is no longer affected by wiki-wide setting changes. To make the page subsequently see only wiki-wide settings you need only change the security settings on the page to be in alignment with the wiki-wide settings. Perhaps we should make this explicit with a "reset security settings" button in the page's Security area. —PhilipNeustrom

Error on search

Did an edit on [davis]Davis, and then searched for the unique term I had just added (to see if there were any other instances on the wiki). The first edit I've had time for in days, and I get an error! ;) I cannot reproduce, feel free to delete this report, but I figured if I got it I should at least point it out. Specific edit was adding [WWW]this and then searching for 'fixme'.

2007-10-02 18:12:56   Links in included pages shouldn't render if they link to the page doing the including OR the included page. —PhilipNeustrom

There suddenly appeared (at 22:00 East Coast) a bug this evening. Some of it appears to affect all users, parts of the bug are timezone related and just affect me.

For all users, [WWW]http://wikispot.org/Wiki_Directory appears to be borked. Several people all report that it only draws the header, and if you hit edit, the source appears, but it times out on save. This is slightly different than before.

Interwiki Recent Changes is giving me a timezone related Traceback, as is my settings page. They are attached. It is not erroring out for anybody else that we can see, but everybody else is Pacific time.

RyanJames poked in the Python, pointing out that "in the for loop that's lines 242-245 in tzinfo.py, the if statement is never true, meaning your dt (datetime object) doesn't match any of the datetimes in the module's dictionary of all datetimes/timezone thingies".

Another probably unrelated bug that I noticed is on the Wikispot User Statistics entry, where my first edit is "Unknown". Probably unrelated, but if this is all a database issue, I'm letting you know all the "doesn't line up" errors I can find.

By the way, this *is* different than the last two times, as I can still edit other entries without locking them up. —JabberWokky

Minor Default(?) CSS Bug

I lack the time to test this, sorry (as you can probably tell by my recent lack of editing, I'm buried under with work). I did, however notice the following "height of header" layout quirk:

FFIEHeaderBug.png

And lest somebody assume it might be related to the login status, I was not logged in using either brower. No idea what is causing it, but if it is in the default CSS, new wikis might have issues with their appearance as they are the least likely to consider cross browser testing. —jw

Image upload does not appear in revision

Odd one here... On [sars]SARS, I have two images of a book cover. I had a very low resolution version from the internet, and just got the book, so I took a photo of the cover and uploaded replacement images. I uploaded both replacements in two different tabs at the same time. The new image has appeared on the rendered entries (i.e., it uploaded and thumbnailed properly), but that upload does not appear in either image revision... the current image being displayed is not even in the image revision history. It is very clear the newly uploaded images are being used on the entry, but the newly uploaded revision does not show up when you click the image. Another possible factor is that the images were a bit over a meg in size. 1211714 bytes to be exact. See [WWW]here and [WWW]here. —Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards

2009-01-20 13:28:57   I've run into more problems with the French character set. 1) I was able to successfully upload a file with the name "Comment s'inscrire—les details.txt" to the page adld.wikispot.org/Pour_se_joindre_au_wiki. What I can't show, because the Add Comment macro doesn't support it, is that the word details should have an accent mark over it. However when I included the macro Upload new file "Comment s'inscrire--les details.txt" on the page (with the accent mark), clicking on either Preview or Save changes produced a Python error. 2) When I tried to describe the problem in the Add Comment box using the accented e, I got another Python problem. If you'd like, I can post the Python messages, but I suspect you can reproduce them as easily as I. I'm hopeful that in reporting such problems wikispot.org will evolve to handle foreign communities as gracefully as standard English communities. —maddaze (Harvey Morgan in Bordeaux, France) —maddaze
