$3 Errors[edit]
On the Recentchanges page, it says this: "Below are the last 100 changes in the last 7 days, as of $3."
- For me, it only does this on the 1.6.8 Recent changes... -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 11:05, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- You are correct. Looks like they made a change to MediaWiki:Rcnote, which wasn't compatible with 1.6.8.
- For me, it only does this on the 1.6.8 Recent changes... -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 11:05, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't know if this is caused by different versions or whatever, but the What links here page for 1.6.7 pages say "The following pages link to $1:" while the pages under 1.8.2 are normal. So I don't really know if the upgrade is fixing a problem or is making one. --badqueso 22:21, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
File Uploads[edit]
Uploading files throws this error: Could not copy file "/tmp/phpQWkY5i" to "/home/tmbwnet/public_html/mediawiki-1.8.2/images/2/27/Green-status.gif".
- Did a recursive chmod on the /images directory, and it's fine now.
#If Logic[edit]
Fix the "#if" logic related to the parser extensions. This affects the Other Bands You Might Like If You Like TMBG, America Runs On Dunkin' and Download pages that have conditional logic in them. (Note - this cannot be fixed until after the complete cutover).
Song Votes[edit]
Not sure if it's related, but now, it's not working when i try to vote on a song that has an apostrophe in the name. Need to investigate why that's occurring. See I've Got A Fang (Demo) for a place to try it. --Duke33 15:51, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- Fixed now. It was actually a much older issue, from when we converted to iframes a month back. --Duke33 01:31, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Ratings page weirdness[edit]
All the links Song Ratings have plus signs where there should be spaces. The links are blue, but they all lead to non-existant pages. My guess is that the spaces are being converted to pluses instead of underscores. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 09:26, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Good catch..Changed urlencode() to rawurlencode() and seems ok now. --Duke33 09:54, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
