An old question about hits counter from Enabran

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi Joe,
Enabran asked some time ago if it is possible to retrieve the hits counter. I tried to install a stable version of Extension:HitCounters on the French wiki. It seems to work. You'll need to run an maintenance/update.php after installing the extension with the following in the LocalSettings.php file

wfLoadExtension( 'HitCounters' );

It should keep the old values. As you wish, but I think there will be a happy, happy editor ;-) Cheers! --LIMAFOX76 (talk) 13:57, 3 June 2020 (PDT)

I will look into it! Thanks! -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 11:20, 4 June 2020 (PDT)

I can see the hit counter back on the french wiki - can someone please add it to the german wiki? Enabran (talk) 14:23, 14 November 2020 (PST)

Installed. Unfortunately, it didn't retain the old numbers, and there was no way to recover those. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 16:21, 2 January 2021 (PST)

oh, thank you! Any number is better than no number ;-) Enabran (talk) 00:51, 3 January 2021 (PST)

There is one way: Hit the refresh button x times to gain x counters :-D Enabran (talk) 01:00, 3 January 2021 (PST)

Or by incrementing the number in page_counter.sql table in the DB directly -- CylonU87 ^{I don't feel like a copy.} 20:42, 3 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hit counters are, in general, worthless data point generators anyway as they cannot be individually identified and categorized. They're very, well, "Web 1.0" and beyond obsolete. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 21:31, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

TOS/G80 unproduced scripts

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Greetings fellow Colonial!

I'm interested in assisting in regards to the summary pages of unproduced scripts of the 1978 series and its follow-up in 1980, but there are a few problems in this regard. First, it appears the wiki hasn't been updated in quite some time regarding these scripts (so I'm unsure if this is an active project or not). Second, the link to the Battlestar Pegasus page is dead. I have a few scripts printed out from the '78 series a few years ago, but I'd need access to the other scripts (especially The Beta Pirates, which I've wanted to read for many yahrens). Is this wiki still active, and can I assist? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ninth Lord of Kobol (talk • contribs).

Hello! Yes, the wiki is still somewhat active. I mostly maintain the English one at this point, with assistance of two other admins: User:Enabran of the German language Wiki and User:LIMAFOX76 of the French language Wiki.

As to the scripts, I have digitized PDF copies of the ones I've collected over the yahrens. I just need to re-upload them again (I'll upload them to the Wiki directly and update the links to the specific episodes). I'll start with "The Beta Pirates" and go from there. :-) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 14:22, 29 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Battlestar Wiki's new skin

Latest comment: 1 year ago5 comments3 people in discussion

Hi Joe,
I hope you're well. I discovered the new skin you implanted for BW. Is that normal if everything is still in a white background even if you modified the css page to adapt? Thanks for your answer. Cheers! --LIMAFOX76 (talk) 06:24, 20 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Howdy! Things are OK -- I hope things are good for you! For the background, it is adaptable, and there are three options if you click on the wheel/gear icon on the upper menu bar: Auto, Light and Dark. You might be on "light" or "auto," so if you click on Dark you should get the "darker" red theme.

I'm trying to figure out what to do for the "light" theme (so I've left it alone for now), and might try something that invokes the cream/light brown paperwork from the series.

I'm tweaking the theme as I go as well, so if you have any thoughts or suggestions, let me know. Cheers! -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 23:38, 20 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Things are good for me as well, thanks! Regarding the skin, I chose the Dark theme, yet it is still white. Did I miss something in my parameters??

Small update, it seems that the dark and light themes are linked to the browser main color theme. I managed to change it in Edge and Firefox but I had to purge the cache. If I switch the browsers' theme back to light, it comes back to the light mode. --LIMAFOX76 (talk) 20:54, 21 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

I loved the old cream-coloured theme developed by Paul Gu. I don't think that theme would work in the current versions of Media Wiki, though. But if you have the CSS of that light theme, maybe we can use the same colours in the current Citizen based theme? -- CylonU87 ^{I don't feel like a copy.} 20:28, 3 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

For the "light" version, I was aiming towards the cream color, to mimic the paperwork in the series. We had something like that for the "Case Orange" update blog back in the day. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 03:45, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

SSL certificates

Latest comment: 1 year ago6 comments4 people in discussion

Hi Joe,
Hope you're fine. There is an issue with the SSL certificates on all Battlestar wikis and Buck Wiki. It says that they are not valid anymore and block the page's loading. Is it possible to update the certificates so no warning message appears ? Thank you very much. Cheers! --LIMAFOX76 (talk) 10:23, 20 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

This is remedied now. Thank you! -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 15:58, 24 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Caprica fonts on German site

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi Joe,
I hope you're fine. Is it possible please to add the two "Caprica" fonts on the German wiki root directory? It is already configured to have them, so it will appears as soon you import them. Thanks a lot! Cheers! --LIMAFOX76 (talk) 20:52, 26 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Old WikiFrakr content and other language wikis

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

WiiFrakr had some fantastic and hilarious content back in the day. Sadly this was lost in time. Is there a way to restore those pages back if a backup is available? Maybe instead of a separate sub-wiki, those pages can live under a namespace on the English Wiki. Similarly, the other language wikis which existed are lost. Is it possible to restore them too? -- CylonU87 ^{I don't feel like a copy.} 20:39, 3 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

I believe a backup is available, but I haven't gotten to it, as I haven't prioritized it. As to the other language wikis, I don't believe there was much in the way of content, beyond the German and French versions that were restored. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 03:42, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

-Sorry to waste your time again. I was trying to create a new template called Castdaten. I started with [[Tony Swartz]] Something went wrong. Now everytime I want to go to the english version of an Actor it redirects me to "Template:MONTHNAME" And I do not know what to do to show mw the month, or Nationality [[User:Enabran|Enabran]] ([[User talk:Enabran|talk]]) 06:13, 29 September 2019 (PDT)
+Hi Joe,<br/>I hope you're fine. Is it possible please to add the two "Caprica" fonts on the German wiki root directory? It is already configured to have them, so it will appears as soon you import them. Thanks a lot! Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 20:52, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

-Hi Joe,<br/>Do you have any plan about the French Battlestar Wiki to "really" come back to life? If you want to, you can directly write to my personal email address, it didn't change. Thank you very much. Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 12:21, 11 August 2019 (PDT)
+WiiFrakr had some fantastic and hilarious content back in the day. Sadly this was lost in time. Is there a way to restore those pages back if a backup is available? Maybe instead of a separate sub-wiki, those pages can live under a namespace on the English Wiki.
-: Yes, I do! I've just been traveling, so I haven't had the ability to carve time out for it. I'll reach out to you via email for further details, as I would need the database files and all that from your setup. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 17:21, 11 August 2019 (PDT)
+Similarly, the other language wikis which existed are lost. Is it possible to restore them too?  -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] <sup>[[User talk:CylonU87|I don't feel like a copy.]]</sup> 20:39, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
-:: It may be possible to have the original wiki's content back + what I've done if you have a backup made before October 31, 2013. It was just before the first French wiki crash (when all data but 15 pages were lost) and then find a way to give you the Mediawiki files and the LocalSettings.php file (+ logo and fonts). --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 05:31, 14 August 2019 (PDT)
+: I believe a backup is available, but I haven't gotten to it, as I haven't prioritized it. As to the other language wikis, I don't believe there was much in the way of content, beyond the German and French versions that were restored. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 03:42, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
-::: Hi Joe, until you find a way and time to put back the French wiki on the main domain, could you please change the <tt>fr</tt> interwiki link on the English and German wiki to the following :
-<pre>http://fr.battlestarwiki.ddns.net/wiki/$1</pre>
-:::It will direct it to my personal server. I added the German link, and the English one is already active for a while now. Thank you very much! Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 13:25, 26 August 2019 (PDT)
-::::Hi Joe, sorry to bother you about the previous demand, but I think it will give some time about the migration of the French Battlestar Wiki and make you doing it more comfortably. It should take you only a few minutes to do it. Thank you very much. My best regards. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 09:55, 8 September 2019 (PDT)
-:::::Hi Joe,<br/>Hope you're well, I know you're very busy right now and I'm really, really sorry to bother you again. It's just to lighten your burden about the French wiki. It will allow me to make the interwiki links work between the English, German and French Battlestar Wikis so I can populate the links when the pages are created. You won't have to worry about the design and the MediaWiki update for the French one, and when (and only when) you are ready, we can prepare to transfer the wiki on the main domain. Thank you very much. My best regards. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 22:31, 26 September 2019 (PDT)
-: No need to apologize! I've updated the interwiki link. Also, I've given you admin privileges to the English wiki to assist as needed, as a small token of appreciation for the work you've done to date (and beyond)! -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 15:17, 28 September 2019 (PDT)

-== Battlestar Wiki - other Stuff ==
-=== Character Data a.s.o ===
-Would it be possible, to add a function, that lets the "Matrix" add another Series-icon to the top of the infobox, when the Actor played in more than one Series? For example [[Richard Hatch]]. Now he has the TOS icon, but he should have also the RDM-Icon. Same for Crewmembers, that worked in more than one Series. Maybe it is the "series 2" thing, but if yes -> it is broken. -- {{unsigned|Enabran}}
-: I'll take a look and see what the issue is! -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 19:24, 3 October 2019 (PDT)
-:: Thank you and good luck ;-) [[User:Enabran|Enabran]] ([[User talk:Enabran|talk]]) 13:14, 4 October 2019 (PDT)
-::: Actually, in looking at the code, it appears that it was coded to only show one emblem (defined by the "series" parameter) and not multiples (i.e. the "series2" parameter). So... the "series2" thing is more for the automatic categorization only, but I suppose that can be extended to add in multiple emblems, too. That just needs to be coded in.
-::: In other words, it was never a feature to begin with. But it can be added in. I'll fiddle with it and maybe tighten the code while I'm at it. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 18:42, 4 October 2019 (PDT)
-::: I think I was able to accomplish what you're looking for. If that works for you, it can easily be deployed on DE.
