Hi Kitsufox,

I just wanted to say thank you very much again for your patience. This took way longer than it should've as this bug has been open for 2+ months and it shouldn't have, and I'd like to apologize again. With recent work, we've finally been able to repatch, with much very helpful assistance from MtMNC, another developer Would you be able to git checkout this patch https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/357518 (there's a Download menu and then you click the option for checkout), which you can run in a program like Git bash. We've both tested and it seems to be working for both of us, so we were hoping if you'd be willing to test this out.

Thanks again!

I hope you and the other members can get back to chatting again without any annoying disruptions. :)

Hello Kitsufox,

I've come across your website because I'm also using MediaWiki with Foreground skin. You can have a look at my website at https://www.dicoado.ch

I was wondering how you managed to put icons in the navigation bar. Could you please help me out ?

Thanks.

Hi, DSwissK. The icons in the nav code are a little Javascript hack that was explained out and basically written for me by folks on the Github when I feature-requested it. You can see it explained out here.

Another technical question : which Echo version are you using ? I have issues getting this extension to work.

Kitsufox (talkcontribs)

You're welcome!

I'm actually using the unreleased production version of Foreground so Echo will work.

Hi again, I managed to make Echo and Foreground work together (thanks to your help pointing the 2.1.0 alpha version of the skin). But I need one more thing to get done before being totally satisfied with how my wiki is set up. Whenever I get a new message in my talk page, I won't see it before going in the top right menu and see a small inconspicuous line telling me that I got a message. That should come directly in the notification area from Echo extension. How did you get that done ? Thanks !

The only reason I knew that trick was I reported the error to the foreground dev, and it had already been dealt with.

As for the notifications moving... (this is what took so long, I had to be back to my desktop so I could pop into the local settings file and see what I used)...

require_once "$IP/extensions/Echo/Echo.php"; # 2017-05-22
wfLoadExtension( 'Thanks' ); # 2017-05-22
require_once "$IP/extensions/Flow/Flow.php"; # 2017-05-24
$wgContentHandlerUseDB = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['flow-create-board'] = true;
$wgNamespaceContentModels[NS_USER_TALK] = 'flow-board';
$wgFlowContentFormat = 'html';

That's my section for flow and related stuff... I don't know if there's anything different from your settings or not... honestly now idea....

Hi there again. I apologize for this patch way longer than expected - for a bug that deeply impacts the user experience of the extension for many people here since it makes Special:Chat more annoying to use, its of course high priority and so I'll keep trying to work on this. Obviously thanks to MatmaRex this should be resolved a bit faster. I've been juggling multiple bugs and tasks for different software but don't feel like I've forgotten about this because I haven't ;) Thank you for your patience! I'd like to thank other people who happen to stumble on this thread via RC thank you as well.

(Also, sorry for posting this late-ish, accidentally posted this message originally on the wrong person's talk page. oops. :P)

I saw it when it got posted on Kyndzee's talk page ;) I figured it was just because you've dealt with a ton of random new names and were trying to do a ton of things all at once. Thank you very much for the update and keeping us in the loop. I know code takes time, especially on large, intricate projects like this.

Summary by Kitsufox

Investigation to Chatroom bug.

SamanthaNguyen (talkcontribs)

Hi there, thanks for the update! I've determined that it's in MediaWikiChat.js and the problem should be on line 312 - this is currently the line that calculates the value for the rowspan attribute. I'm going to talk with some other MediaWiki developers who are also familiar with JS so that hopefully this bug can be solved faster.

oh and the circle icon you saw - "it's not a bug, it's a feature!" really. :P It shows up to indicate that your messages are currently in the process of sending whenever you submit a message.

Kitsufox (talkcontribs)

I figured the circle was just that ;) my browser being pokey.

Thank you so much for all your hard word on this! Best of luck working through towards the final fix. It's something we can tolerate while everyone works on it. I'll keep my eyes out for the fix coming through! Thank you again!

Summary by Kitsufox

Missing page was imported, but a problem with {{genetraitcomp}} was discovered and is now on the list for being fixed.

Fae~o~the~Wind (talkcontribs)

Hello! I noticed sometime after one of site updates that the link on my userpage to my "Character Factoids" no longer works. Is there any chance of recovering that page: http://www.childrenofstarclan.com/index.php?title=User:Fae~o~the~Wind/Character_Factoids ?

Edited 00:21, 8 June 2017 00:21, 8 June 2017

Kitsufox (talkcontribs)

Absolutely. I have a full archived version of the site prior to import that I can grab it from. It'll show up in just a few minuets.

00:47, 8 June 2017 00:47, 8 June 2017

Kitsufox (talkcontribs)

Okay. Worked it out. {{genetraitcomp}} doesn't work, and must have made the import error out. I imported the entire page excluding that. And in the mean time, I'll try and sort out what's up with that.
