Unresolved issues

Just making a list here, please remind me if there are any I missed:

• CategoryTOC template doesn't work
• Some parser functions don't work

These seem to be fixed now. --Jake 15:46, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

This doesn't work yet: Template:Portal.FatHomer^Talk 19:05, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Just so I can get an idea of how to go about fixing it, what exactly is this template supposed to display and where is it used? --Jake 20:59, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

It should look like this: http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Portal and is used like a galllery or something is seen on the main page: http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Simpsons_Wiki .

• Polls are broken
• WikiForum is broken
• Main page social profiles glitch
• Main page footer issue

Solved. There was a missing div. --Jake 15:46, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

<_< Why didn't I try that? The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:02, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:56, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Also, we will be having a meeting on IRC this Saturday, 7PM Wikisimpsons time. You are free to join us. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:56, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for that! And I'll be sure to stop by if I get the chance. :) --Jake 20:25, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

A couple more things

There is still that weird glitch at the bottom of the main page. Also, will you be entering the design-a-skin comp? The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 19:28, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

I added that issue to the list. At the moment, it doesn't look like I'll have time to enter the competition. Sorry about that. :( --Jake 04:42, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Namespaces

Can we have dictionary and news namespaces so we can move over content from the dictionary and news wikis on Shoutwiki? Thanks.--Cook879 10:58, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Done. :) -Jake 13:18, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Swedish wikisimpsons

Hi can you move the swedish wikisimpsons to simpsonswiki? FatHomer^Talk 19:05, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

This is the one on Wikia. (just requested a database dump, here) ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 19:41, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Or, i don't want a database dump i want to start from the begining. sv.simpsonswiki.net? FatHomer^Talk 19:44, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

In that case, you will be wanting a subdomain sv.simpsonswiki.net added then and bureaucrat rights I presume, which I am fine with. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 20:27, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Yeah FatHomer^Talk 20:28, 13 July 2011 (UTC) Also, if it's possible with acchivements i would like to have that. FatHomer^Talk 20:34, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

I explained this on my talk page. Achievements are a Wikia-only extension. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 20:36, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

So you want a brand new wiki with the same configuration settings as this one set up at sv.simpsonswiki.net? Should the language be swedish as well? --Jake 21:04, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Yes, i don't like the swedish translation of the wiki but the main language should be swedish anyway and if you want, you can change language in the settings. FatHomer^Talk 08:43, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

I'll get this set up as soon as I can. :) What should the name of the wiki be? --Jake 22:57, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

 :D , I,ll be away for about a week so you don't need to hurry. The name should be something like "Svenska Wikisimpsons". 09:21, 15 July 2011 (UTC)FatHomer^Talk

Image error?

http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/File:What_About_If...Skinner_Was_Scottish%3F.png ? FatHomer^Talk 09:47, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Moving it worked. File:What About If Skinner Was Scottish.png. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 09:52, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Different logo in namespaces

Hi Jake, I know this is possible, Uncyclopedia and Darthipedia do it. Can we have this as the logo in the Dictionary namespace and this as the logo under the News: namespace please? Thanks, The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 12:14, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Done. I'm not sure how those wikis do it, but I used some fancy CSS rules so you guys can change them if necessary. See the top of MediaWiki:Common.css to see what I did. :) --Jake 16:47, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

So, I'm guessing that ns-706 is the Dictionary namespace and ns-708 is the News namespace? Is there is a list of the codes of each namespace anywhere? The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 17:46, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Correct. The default namespace ids are listed here. I'll post our custom namespace ids below. --Jake 19:21, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

$wgExtraNamespaces[702] = "Blog";
$wgExtraNamespaces[703] = "Blog_talk";
$wgExtraNamespaces[704] = "Forum";
$wgExtraNamespaces[705] = "Forum_talk";
$wgExtraNamespaces[706] = "Dictionary";
$wgExtraNamespaces[707] = "Dictionary_talk";
$wgExtraNamespaces[708] = "News";
$wgExtraNamespaces[709] = "News_talk";

Monaco content background

Hi Jake, the only problem with the Monaco skin now is the content space is white. I've tried changing this to no avail. Could you have a look at it? Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:05, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and there's a bit of a bug with the Social profile with bits overlapping in Monaco. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:09, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I'll try reinstalling Monaco to see if it helps. :) --Jake 23:52, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Oh, it was just a CSS error. Fixed. :) --Jake 11:49, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

There's still a problem with user pages. Everything is messed up. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 12:47, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Yeah. I noticed that before but there's not really anything I can do about it. It's a problem with the Monaco port itself. --Jake 13:45, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Sound files

Hi Jake. Is there any way to display a file like on here. This is for .ogg and .mp3 files. Thanks in advance. Doh5678 (talk) 18:42, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I've got the template, but the play button thing doesn't work. Doh5678 (talk) 19:41, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I've installed OggHandler, which should allow you to play sound. See this page for more information on the syntax. :) --Jake 23:52, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

The Play button still doesn't show up on Template:Sound file. Doh5678 (talk) 13:49, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

I'm looking in to this. Thanks for bringing it up! :) --Jake 16:07, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Upload directory read only

When i try to upload a image on sv.simpsonswiki.net. I get the messege "Upload directory read only" and i can't upload images. /AleWi 15:20, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Should be fixed now. :) --Jake 16:07, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Interwiki links

Could you enable interwiki links between here and the Swedish wiki please? Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 15:57, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Done. All interwiki prefixes can be administrated on Special:Interwiki, by the way. :) --Jake 16:07, 19 July 2011 (EDT)
