Schot 407 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Heya gang. With regards to some talk we had earlier about some bits of content not working on SacredWiki, (old bbcode)... I'll be adding an extension to help with that. I could run replacement strings through mysgl but since there is a tool for Mediawiki then I think we'll just get that. Granted only for use by admins. Just letting you all know the tool is there. As for bbcode... On the wiki we'll be dumping bbcode and adopting wiki code. It's essentially the same except instead of these brackets [ ], we'll use these brackets < >. Cheers! 1 Link to comment
Ysne58 236 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Thanks for the update Schot. Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 .... As for bbcode... On the wiki we'll be dumping bbcode and adopting wiki code. It's essentially the same except instead of these brackets [ ], we'll use these brackets < >. Cheers! Question for ya Schot.....how will this affect all the templates...can we still use them or do you need to modify them first? Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Oh sorry... I should have been more specific. These brackets don't change [[ ... ]] Where ever those are used they remain the same. It's only when we use single brackets [ ]. On the wiki it's essentially the following that this pertains to: [b] [I] [u] [img] [center] There may be a few others but those are the most prevelant. If something doesn't work, lemme know. Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 ah ok....thought you meant anything with a bracket Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yup, totally get that. Was a mistake to assume bbcode is a commonly used word. I forget sometimes that not everyone has their head stuck in code all the time, lol. bbcode is essentially code that decorates in some way. It's generally a "forum" thing for decorating text, embeding images and is always in pairs of brackets. It ended up in the wiki largely because of the ipbwiki bridge we had. It made bbcode work in the wiki. But no more! Link to comment
Antitrust 32 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 We used that? Wow... 1 Link to comment
wolfie2kX 528 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I thought they had a newer version of the IPBbridge software that was compatible with all the new wares... What's the point of having that if it doesn't do BBCode? 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 There actually is a new IPBWiki that was just updated again a few days back, end of July. Normally we would have instantlyl jumped on something like this, but our vision for the wiki is many many years ...we're looking for stability, security and support. The problem with the last ipbwiki, was that there was never an uninstaller that came with it... so we were very reilant upon updates and support. This last experience with our sites has taught us a few good words KIS (Keep it simple) and supportable. This is what happens with big sites like ours, there becomes a built in aversion to anything new becuase if we're runnning well with what we've got, it's got to be a pretty compelling argument for us to change, and we have to be convinced of support for that avenue. That new IPBWiki is looking pretty nifty though, in a month or two with more downloaded cilents under their belt, with some positive client feedback, it could look interesting again. gogo Link to comment

There are three words that have received this treatment: mainquest chainquest sidequest I don't understand what you're addressing Can you please quote the post you are addressing, keep links for me and Schot to check and more clearer explanation of why you are doing what you did. If these posts are organized this way, me and Schot can verify work easily, and help out with questions the comunity is asking thanks gogo Link to comment
Ysne58 236 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Mainquest should be two words main quest. Chainquest should be two words chain quest. Sidequest should be two words side quest. There are lots of places where they are typed out as one word. The links I provided gave two examples. I've already fixed one of them. Link to comment
wolfie2kX 528 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 There are 20 pages that have "chainquest" that need fixing. There are 3 pages with "mainquest" that need fixing. And... There are 7 pages with "sidequest" needing to be fixed.. 1 Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Heyas! I changed the title of this topic as you can see. Please make any "Find Replace Requests" in this topic and I'll get to them when I can. 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Thanks for bump and title change Schot I know some of the community were looking for this gogo Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 There are 20 pages that have "chainquest" that need fixing. There are 3 pages with "mainquest" that need fixing. And... There are 7 pages with "sidequest" needing to be fixed.. All done! I ran my first test of this new tool and it seems to be quite effective. It scares me a bit but I may soon come to love it very much! Link to comment

Ysne58 236 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php/Sacred_2:Epic_Office_Quest The employee section is looking a little funky -- I suspect it needs some of the find/replace attention. Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'll have a look in a bit Ysne, thanx. Can you tell me what you mean by funky so I know what to look for with regards to find/replace? Link to comment
Ysne58 236 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The section titles -- have a /u symbol in front of them. Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Ok, I see it! Thanx Ysne. I'll add to my list. For reference this is in my list of find/replace so far...The following need to be replaced with wikicode: [b] and [/b] [I] and [/I] [u] and [/u] [img= and ] Link to comment
Ysne58 236 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 OK, If I see any others then I'll add a note here, but I won't report any more of those. Link to comment
