Ed has buggered the PSE wiki homepage

[ed]

... somehow, using the rich text editor, now it's all code and text... tried to repair this but couldn't .. sorry!

Looking at this diff:

​https://wiki.transitionnetwork.org/index.php?title=Sharing_Engine&diff=403&oldid=366

It appears to me that you were trying to add this to the Design Documents section:

[[Sharing_Engine/Email_alerts|Email alerts]]

So I have rolled it back and added this link:

​https://wiki.transitionnetwork.org/index.php?title=Sharing_Engine&diff=417&oldid=403

What I'm not clear about is if there is a problem with the rich text editor (I aviod them like the plague) -- there probably is a updated version of it available, see ticket:419#comment:2 -- I'll look at that now.

[ed]

Great - thanks - I noted that the rich text editor wasn't showing any text...

Replying to ed:

This problem isn't solved, see ticket:455#comment:2 so reopening this ticket

Action needed: Please test the new editor at ​https://wiki.dev.transitionnetwork.org/ and if it's OK I'll deploy it to the live server.

It's not as fancy as the WYSIWYG one, but it seems functional and stable.

The problem is with internal links in the form [[Special:Version]] -- these are the ones that are messed up with the editor, see ​this diff for an example.

I'm not going to try to fix this editor as "This extension is obsolete!
You are advised against using this extension on a live site." ​https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FCKeditor_%28Official%29 -- it has now been disabled on the live wiki.

So the other two options are:

• ​https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WYSIWYG (only available for 1.16.x and

1.17.x)

• ​https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiEditor

We are on 1.19 so the only option is the WikiEditor which is also the default editor for Wikipedia.

So, removing FCKeditor and enabling WikiEditor on the ​dev wiki:

cd /web/wiki.dev.transitionnetwork.org/www/extensions
rm -rf FCKeditor/

Edit web/wiki.dev.transitionnetwork.org/www/LocalSettings.php and remove:

# http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FCKeditor_%28Official%29
#require_once( "$IP/extensions/FCKeditor/FCKeditor.php" );

There was already a WikiEditor extension directory so this was checked for updates:

cd /web/wiki.dev.transitionnetwork.org/www/extensions/WikiEditor
svn up
  At revision 115780.

And it was enabled by adding the following to web/wiki.dev.transitionnetwork.org/www/LocalSettings.php:

require_once( "$IP/extensions/WikiEditor/WikiEditor.php" );
# Enables use of WikiEditor by default but still allow users to disable it in preferences
$wgDefaultUserOptions['usebetatoolbar'] = 1;
$wgDefaultUserOptions['usebetatoolbar-cgd'] = 1;
# Displays the Preview and Changes tabs
$wgDefaultUserOptions['wikieditor-preview'] = 1;
# Displays the Publish and Cancel buttons on the top right side
$wgDefaultUserOptions['wikieditor-publish'] = 1;
# Displays a navigation column (summary) on the right side
$wgDefaultUserOptions['usenavigabletoc'] = 1;

So - basically, or in a nutshell as JK likes to say, our one option is that we use the wiki editor editor, which is on DEV?

I've tried this and will survive - please proceed with adding it to LIVE

thanks and sorry for the time delay

I have enabled the WikiEditor? on ​https://wiki.transitionnetwork.org/
