Lewiki:Website Issues

A place to mention site problems, new feature requests, and To-Do items, along with their status and their expected date for completion.

2007

• 19-Feb-2007 - Enable Textile formatting for comments but not wiki links.

• 15-Feb-2007 - When an article-A is created via the "post" link, and then later when article-B links to article-A, the "backlinks" link doesn't appear at the bottom of article-A, which it should, since article-B is linking to it. I'm assuming "backlinks" appears for articles that were created via the wiki link bracket case method.

• 5-Feb-2007 - When filtering, make sure the title text for the web page is appropriate. ie "user's workspace" when viewing a "user's" articles.

• 4-Feb-2007 - Bug - Within a user workspace's archives listing, the next and previous links don't have the username, so they point to root level article archive listings.

• 4-Feb-2007 - Bug - On a user's workspace listing page, when clicking the "next" link, it points to the root level blog instead of the user's workspace.

• 4-Feb-2007 - Create a recent changes view for each user's workspace and an accompanying RSS feed?

• 4-Feb-2007 - For each user's workspace view, the default view is creation order of blog postings. Change this to creation order of all articles, so any wiki linked articles show up as well. Let's not seperate blog and wiki created articles in the sort options.

• 4-Feb-2007 - Allow a search on tags used in a user's workspace. Currently have "/tag/arts" which applies to all articles created. Maybe create a command "/usertag/jr/arts" or "/taguser/jr/arts" which will show articles in jr's workspace that have the "arts" tag applied.

• 4-Feb-2007 - Show creation and updated info for each article. Will probably have to modify the database table(s) to allow for a creation date to be carried along or will need to do more normalization of the tables. May have to create a script to make existing articles work with any database change.

• 4-Feb-2007 - On Archives page, show articles by their creation date instead of the current updated date.

• 4-Feb-2007 -
  Change "pblock" tag to "pt" for "paratag." Update help page accordingly. Will have paratags and paraperms. The latter, permalinks on paragraphs, does not exist yet. Will function like Purple Numbers.todo

• 4-Feb-2007 - Make article title unique??? or enable some kind of name space feature where an article title is unique within a user's name space, but the same article title could be used across name spaces without collision. Making it unique is simpler for now. When linking to a user workspace article from a root level article, it will be easier if all article titles are unique, I think. Could do [ [jr:test article] ] so it uses the "test article" title from jr's workspace.

• 4-Feb-2007 - Main page view: sort by creation id. Other sort options: all article changes, comment count, recent comments. Do away with main site blog posting. Each user will work from his or her workspace. Some main site articles have been created, and those will remain, and wiki links can still be created from these existing root level articles.

• 4-Feb-2007 - Add RSS feeds for each user's workspace: created articles <-- done and recent changes

• 4-Feb-2007 - Finish updating the Lewiki:Help page.

2006

• 28-Jul-2006 - Enable the nowiki escape command to work for other commands, such as the double curly brace template include .

• 5-Jan-2006 - Fix "problem" with the Textile formatting module converting text that's in all caps and surrounded by spaces such as HTML into this: <span class="caps">HTML</span>. Don't know why it's doing that. If the uppercase text is less than three letters, then that "span" code doesn't get added. Update: 5-Jan-2006 - Commented out the option in the Textile module that would surround three or more uppercase letters with the class="caps" CSS span tag.

• 4-Jan-2006 - Need to fix the problem with a question mark appearing in heading text. The table of contents for an article is created based upon the heading commands in the article. If a question mark exists, the link in the table of contents doesn't work.

• 4-Jan-2006 - Changed the way links without articles are displayed. Instead of the article title being surrounded by a single bracket and a question mark link at the right end as in [article title]?, the link without an article is displayed in red text.

• 1-Jan-2006 - Investigate implementing WYSIWYG for article adding/editing by modifying the code at http://wikiwyg.net to use Textile.

• 1-Jan-2006 - If not a WYSIWYG implementation, at least provide toolbar buttons (bold, italics, underline, headings, etc.) across the top of the textarea box to make it easy to insert Textile commands into an article.

• 1-Jan-2006 - Investigate implementing section editing. Update: 5-Jan-2006. After spending some time lately editing articles, I can definitely see the benefit of section editing.

• 31-Dec-2005 - Minor CSS flaw exists in the yellow navigation bar when displayed in some versions of the Internet Explorer browser.

• 29-Dec-2005 - Complete site docs: about, app help, Textile manual, Textile quick ref, and article style guidelines. Have been avoiding creating/finishing these articles. Hopefully, they'll be finished by 31-Dec-2005. Update: 5-Jan-2006. These are done for now except for the style guidelines. Will borrow some practices used at Wikipedia for styling an article.

• 29-Dec-2005 - Fix bug with showing article count in sidebar, the number of articles on the index page, total articles contributed to on the user's profile page, and the list of articles contributed to by a user. Profile page count/listing seems to be showing logically deleted articles. Should be fixed by 31-Dec-2005. Update: 31-Dec-2005. When an article with multiple versions is deleted, the older versions appear in the "contributed to" count on the user's profile page. The main version of the article is deleted, but older versions aren't. And the older versions are still accessible even though the main version has been deleted. The count in the sidebar and the index pages are correct. This bug is only for the user's profile page and for showing the articles contributed to by a user. Won't be fixed right now. It's not that important. I'll look at it later.
