Forum:SH Archive/Doing a JavaScript overhaul...

Forums > Senate Hall archive > SH Archive/Doing a JavaScript overhaul...


So far:

  • Switching to rewriting {{title}} via JavaScript, {{title}}, {{title-shortcut}} and {{eras}} should work in all browsers now
  • Firefox 2 should now remember whether infoboxes are shown or hidden for individual articles
  • The default mouse cursor is now the arrow, even when hovering over text

Current regressions:

  • The stock summaries box is sometimes duplicated
    • Can't reproduce any more - if someone can, please report - Sikon 20:22, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Image layout problems in IE7
  • Server-cached pages with {{title}} and {{eras}} may display incorrectly in IE7 - with the title on the right and the eras off. Appending "?action=purge" to a page URL will purge the cache for that page.
  • Tables with float: right stretch the content box to the very left in IE7 (testcase)
    • This problem persists on other Wikia as well, so it's probably not related to my "manipulations". - Sikon 20:22, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

While I'm messing with the code, you may see some unpleasant sightings, like debug popup windows. Please report any bugs here. - Sikon 15:15, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

  • No {{title}}s are showing up for me in IE at all - \\Captain Kwenn// — Ahoy! 15:18, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
    • The title template is working for me, but it appears I'm the only one. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) Imperial Emblem 15:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
      • Also, before today, the article's name, when using the title template, would begin behind the Wookieepedia logo at the top-left corner of the page. Is anyone having this problem now/had this problem before? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) Imperial Emblem 15:30, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
        • This was an IE-specific problem. Should be fixed now. - Sikon 16:02, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • While I'm messing with the code, you may see some unpleasant sightings, like debug popup windows. Ah, so that explains all the "I AM ALIVE" popups... Jorrel Fraajic Wiki-shrinkable Comlink 15:40, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Alright, I've gone through various things (running IE7 IE6).
    The default mouse cursor is now the arrow, even when hovering over text
    So far that is not the case in IE6. Is this because I have to clear the cache?
    Server-cached pages with {{title}} and {{Eras}} may display incorrectly in IE7 - with the title on the right and the eras off. Appending "?action=purge" to a page URL will purge the cache for that page.
    At least for me, this has not been a problem. Nothing to this degree has appeared at all.

  • Thank you!!! —Xwing328(Talk) 19:00, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Version II of my checklist (still IE7IE6):
    The default mouse cursor is now the arrow, even when hovering over text
    This now works as described on my computer.
    Server-cached pages with {{title}} and {{Eras}} may display incorrectly in IE7 - with the title on the right and the eras off. Appending "?action=purge" to a page URL will purge the cache for that page.
    Still have had no problems with this part.
    Switching to rewriting {{title}} via JavaScript, {{title}}, {{title-shortcut}} and {{Eras}} should work in all browsers now
    Have (still) had no problems with any of these
    The "Main Page" title is now gone (yay).
    And that's it... so far no other bugs have been seen (at least by me) and everything seems to be running well. Jorrel Fraajic Wiki-shrinkable 19:50, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Everything looks OK, but I do see 2 shortcut boxes (1 above other) on these Forum pages. There are 2 in the Community Portal page but they are almost right on top of each other. I checked in both Firefox 1.5 and IE 6. -Fnlayson 21:36, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
    • The same is happening in my IE7. Jorrel Fraajic Wiki-shrinkable 01:12, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Why are we going to an all-arrows-all-the-time mouse cursor format? jSarek 01:11, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
    • I'm not complaining, as long as title and eras continue to work. But I'm guessing because Sikon felt like it. —Xwing328(Talk) 02:00, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
      • Actually, this is mimicking Opera's behavior, as I'm striving for cross-browser consistency. Besides, the I-beam cursor seems to work incorrectly in IE7, often appearing over parts of the page where it isn't supposed to be. - Sikon 08:00, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • And I just figured out that I'm running IE6, not IE7... oops. I just updated to IE7, so I'll recheck everything (I'm assuming the bug hunt is still on?) Jorrel Fraajic Wiki-shrinkable 17:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Everything (except the shortcut boxes) work as described in IE7, and I have experienced no bugs (except the shortcut boxes) Jorrel Fraajic Wiki-shrinkable 18:39, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Alright, new problem: Title scrunched to the left due to era and 1st shortcut buttons and boxes sliding over. Jorrel Fraajic Wiki-shrinkable 18:42, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Shortcut boxes seem to be duplicating in Firefox. Havac 01:13, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
    • This new problem is a wikia problem. It's happening across wiki's. Jasca Ducato Sith Council Sith Campaign 15:37, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
      • Recent changes are screwed up and the era icons are in the middle of the page. Recent changes is just, well, different. What is going on? Chack Jadson 20:02, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
        • What do you know. Recent changes is fixed. Chack Jadson 20:03, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
          • The change to recent changes is only visible in IE, AFAIK. -- I need a name (Complain here) 20:06, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
            • And now it's screwed up again. Can I do anything to fix it? Stupid IE. Chack Jadson 22:56, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Duplicating shortcut boxes should be fixed now. - Sikon 18:20, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
      • Looks that way to me. Havac 20:20, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
      • Every day when I get on recent changes is screwed up, then after my first edit (like this), it's fixed. Oh what a world. Era boxes remain centered though. Chack Jadson 19:48, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
        • Chack: Two questions: 1) What browser are you running? 2) What do you mean by "screwed up". Sikon: Yes, it looks fixed, at least on my browser (IE7). Jorrel Fraajic Wiki-shrinkable 20:33, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
