== Category Cloud ==
 
Sorry about not setting up my contact email address on [http://moonfire.us/ moonfire.us], I apparently forgot to finish that last little step before the site went live. Oops. :) It works properly now if you have more questions. I already created an entry for the extension on the MediaWiki site, you can find the extension at [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryCloud Extension:CategoryCloud]. It should be fairly clear on how to use it, but the basic is you create a category that is a parent to all the categories you want in the cloud. Then, point to that using:
 
<pre><category-cloud category="MyTopLevelCategory"></category-cloud></pre>
 
And from there, everything should work magically. If you have any questions, feel free try contact@moonfire.us, my ISP says it is working properly now (that I set it up).

::::GPL just means you need to post your changes to the plugin if you make any. I just like to see what people do to my code and sometimes I roll it back in into the primary branch. If it is a problem, I can switch to MIT license, which I'm considering. -- [[User:DylanMoonfire|DylanMoonfire]] 10:49, 6 February 2007 (CST)
:::::I personally don't see the problem here. If Mercifull decides to modify this thing and put it up on BSWiki, the GPL says he has to release his modified version under the GPL as well, meaning he has to publish the source code. Assuming Mercifull has no problem with that, he can just put it up at [[Extension:CategoryCloud]] and be done with it. Hell, he could even copy&paste the Extension:CategoryCloud page from MediaWiki. For more info on the GPL [http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html go here]. (We're dealing with Freedom 3 here.) --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]] 13:36, 6 February 2007 (CST)
I don't know of the status here, but I've uploaded a new version of the plugin at the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryCloud Extension:CategoryCloud] page on MediaWiki. It fixes a couple of bugs and adds a pfunc version. Cheers!

::::So what happened? We need details. Was it your fault? ;) --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 06:57, 1 July 2007 (CDT)
:::::It was my fault I crashed yeah, but it was an odd series of events. Ill try to explain it with minimum words. Driving along the main road (single carriageway) coming past the Frome Flier and leaving Frome on the way to Trowbridge at approx 7:15pm. Approximately 2 minutes before I went down that road, a motorcyclist was thrown from his bike and it crashed into a tree. The bike was split into three while the cyclist rolled into the road. A Mitsubishi Warrior pickup had pulled into the side of the road in my direction. I came down the road around the corner and see both the cyclist in the middle of the road with people (his bike buddies) all around him. There were at this time no emergency services on site. I saw the warrior on the left of the road but had nowhere to go. I slammed on the brakes and went as far right as I could without going close to the people stood in the road but clipped the left side of my car against the back metal bumper that stuck out of the pickup. It was only a relatively slow impact and air bags did not inflate but at the end of the day I clipped a pickup and they aren't exactly made of balsa wood. My car is in the repair shop now and they expect to start repairs on Thursday which will probably take a week or two depending on how busy they are. So that's the accident in a nutshell. Noone was hurt or injured only the side of my car (which ive only had for 2 weeks) but it'll get fixed (insurance covered) and ill get it back by the end of the month. My only worry now is if the police decide to give me points for the accident but I wont know that for a week or two. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 07:06, 1 July 2007 (CDT)
::::::Ah ,that sucks, but doesn't seem to be too bad. :) Your story was a bit confusing, until I remembered that you drive on the left side of the road. lol. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 07:09, 1 July 2007 (CDT)
:::::::It's incredibly annoying but it'll all be repaired ok. Only 2 inches more to the right and i'd have only knocked my wing mirror off. Another 10 inches and I would have missed completely. In the confusion with people and cars all in the road I hit the pickup. Was my fault for hitting the pickup but its better than hitting people in the road. The motorcyclist was lucky to be alive. Managed to get away with a broken leg and fractures wrist. Could have been a lot worse, if he had been on the bike when he hit the tree then it would have been him in pieces in the road not just his bike. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 07:21, 1 July 2007 (CDT)
::::::::Well, what counts here is that no lives were lost.  (Which is what I was really concerned about after hearing Shane's voice mail.) At least the car will get fixed by the insurance, and hopefully the police don't add points to your license. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 11:12, 1 July 2007 (CDT)
