Title: Wikimedia upgrade Post by: Great Rao on December 20, 2006, 06:53:27 PM I've just upgraded the version of Wikimedia running on Supermanica - speak up if you notice any problems.
One of the new features with this version is that a user must now validate their email address before they are permitted to make any edits. Just a heads-up that you might bump into this when you try to edit anything - I've noticed that some of us have validated our email address, others haven't. You can confirm your email address on your user preferences page, and Supermanica will email you a confirmation code. If you just try to edit an article, you'll be walked through it.

No article with this name exists. Quote You can [[::Stanley Finchcomb|create an article with this title]] but please make sure you've double-checked the spelling and the capitalization first! But no way to actually add the article. ??? Title: Re: Wikimedia upgrade Post by: Great Rao on December 22, 2006, 05:17:10 PM It seems that the code to get this page to work changes in each upgrade. Should be alright now.

Title: Re: Wikimedia upgrade Post by: MatterEaterLad on March 05, 2007, 01:38:43 PM I can't get the edit toolbar to display when I edit pages or write new entries. I can remember some of the code but I cant remember all of it.
I have Safari for Mac OS X and I do have Java and JavaScript enabled. I do have "show edit toolbar" selected in my preferences at the site. Title: Re: Wikimedia upgrade Post by: MatterEaterLad on March 06, 2007, 07:00:36 PM Still kind of wondering, editing or creating entries is a LOT easier with the toolbar.

Title: Re: Wikimedia upgrade Post by: MatterEaterLad on March 06, 2007, 07:39:56 PM I'm hoping maybe you are working on something because now I am denied access to the site entirely.

I can't believe new Wiki doesn't match the regular Mac browser...but on the plus side, I remember one site that once told me to get rid of my Mac and get a PC... ;D |
