[00:01:52] hey jamesgtmoore [00:02:18] jamesgtmoore: here is how you format the main page http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Projects/Mobile_Gateway#How_do_I_format_a_mobile_homepage.3F [00:06:38] hi tfinc thanks. I use the id="mf-something" attribute in my divs for the main page and they show up on a mobile fine but they're not hidden like an accordion jquery effect. On all other pages the accordion is there though. To see what I mean try view this page in a normal web browser (its what mobiles see): http://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/Main_Page?useformat=mobile [00:07:29] then look at this other page on the same wiki: http://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/FIGU?useformat=mobile [00:07:30] jamesgtmoore: yup. i see what you mean [00:07:49] the second URL I gave has loads of accordions [00:08:04] or rather accordion parts/sections [00:08:09] jamesgtmoore: so you'll see how even we don't use accordions on our main page [00:08:11] http://en.m.wikipedia.org/ [00:08:14] we make it as small as possible [00:08:33] to minimize overloading the user [00:08:37] yes its nice an simple. perhaps its best that way [00:08:49] :) [00:08:57] i'll leave it as is then. thanks for your help :) [00:09:03] jamesgtmoore: your sight looks great with mobile frontend. how hard was it to set it up [00:09:08] i work for the wikimedia mobile team [00:09:18] and i love hearing back about what its like to re-use our work [00:09:30] i used the MobileDetect extension to keep it persistently in mobile view [00:09:44] with the mw1.20wmf10 release [00:09:57] I didnt need to do any hacks at all [00:10:41] what is this? https://github.com/wikimedia/WikipediaMobile [00:11:05] is it the same as this? http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileFrontend [00:12:41] jamesgtmoore: nope [00:13:01] its the cordova based codebase for the Wikipedia app on Android, iOS, BlackBerry, etc [00:13:25] jamesgtmoore: we use it to build https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia [00:13:29] jamesgtmoore: are you a dev ? [00:13:40] oh i see. never heard of cordova [00:15:04] I'm a major in tech support, minor in dev sorry. I see you are looking for a developer but I dont fit the bill. [00:15:32] jamesgtmoore: were always looking for smart people to a) come work for us and b) join our volunteer community [00:15:40] not necessarily in that order [00:18:58] how does one join the volunteer community? [00:21:07] jamesgtmoore: sign up for our main mailing list https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l and our twitter handle to keep tabs https://twitter.com/#!/WikimediaMobile [00:21:23] this is our main irc channel so were always around chatting about what were doing [00:22:19] thanks I might do that [00:22:21] currently we've just launched this new app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia.wlm and our bug list has plenty of things to pick up https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?resolution=---&resolution=LATER&resolution=DUPLICATE&query_format=advanced&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=WikiLoves%20Monuments%20Mobile [00:22:28] jamesgtmoore: are you an android user ? [00:22:57] only an Android virtual device user :) [00:23:10] with the Android SDK [00:23:46] jamesgtmoore: do you own a smartphone ? [00:23:57] no [00:24:15] jamesgtmoore: cool. you can still pickup bugs and test them out on the emulator [00:24:24] were always looking for more volunteers to help out with our open bug lists [00:25:23] jamesgtmoore: as a basic hello to the mobile list why don't you mail out your story about using the mobile frontend extesnion [00:25:30] it'll give your site some more visability [00:26:23] and it'll let us know what it was like for a third party user to pick it up [00:26:52] ok then i shall do that. [00:27:41] awesome. glad to have your around jamesgtmoore. i'm going to step away for a bit but feel free to hang out and/or mail the list with any other questions [00:27:55] ok then tata [14:12:22] MaxSem: Online? Didn't you change the default language for Belgium to Dutch ? http://wlm.wikimedia.org/api/api.php?action=adminlevels&format=json&admtree=be|be-bru is still empty [14:13:03] hah, we haven't deployed to that server lately [14:14:08] You probably want to [14:14:42] hmm, http://toolserver.org/~erfgoed/api/api.php?action=adminlevels&format=json&admtree=be|be-bru is also empty [14:16:10] MaxSem: What file do you define these defaults again? [14:16:21] do you realise that the app always requests with language explicitly set? [14:16:30] ApiCountries [14:17:30] MaxSem: Ahum, you fixed it but no svn update was done [14:17:51] http://toolserver.org/~erfgoed/api/api.php?action=adminlevels&format=json&admtree=be <- now it works [14:18:31] MaxSem: But yes, I realise that. But say for example it's set to English I would get French, now I get Dutch (and that's more complete)
