[Bf-docboard] Bf-docboard Digest, Vol 64, Issue 3

[Ivan Paulos Tomé]

Hi Friends, Hi Luca.

To Translate directly using FireFox, or another Browser is a problem, there
are two major problems.
The one cited in the last mail, I don't know, but I think I'm in the "heavy
users" group. :)
To Save/Edit/Save/Edit you're in fact creating lot´s of Log´s of the same
page, (a seconfd problem)
I'm avoiding this.
I'm using Open-Office in My local language, Open Office uses a great spell
checker, and when
the page is OK,  you can simply copy/paste your text into your browser. No
conversion needed, because
the same character format (Ansi/Iso, etc) in Firefox is used by Open Office.
Automatically
detected. When everything is OK, simply publish your page...

The best way to work is to use an Offline Editor, you don't have to stay
connected, and will never
loose your work...

Good Vibrations.

> MEDIAWIKIs SEARCH ENGINE ADDON AUTOMATICALLY PUSHED IN FIREFOX BY
> MEDIAWIKI SITES
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> If you use Firefox, you should know the search engine near the address
> bar. Usually I add custom search engines by going at
> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=&cat=4%2C0
> or looking into
> http://mycroft.mozdev.org/
>
> While you can find wikipedia in many languages, you will see there isn't
> a search engine for blender wiki, and neither for mediawiki.org.
>
> Well, there's no need, that's why!
>
> Do a search in Blender wiki and then click on the search engine bar
> icon: in the pulldown menu you will now see that mediawiki has pushed a
> "Add Blender Wiki" to your search engines. Click on it, and from now on
> you will be able to search in Blender Wiki without going at
> wiki.blender.org
>
> This applies to *ANY* modern mediawiki site out there, which is very
> useful.
>
> Asked and confirmed by the #mediawiki guys, this is a feature of
> mediawiki, not firefox (infact this doesn't happen after searching on
> non-mediawiki sites).
>
> This is useful for wiki editors too:
>
> - do a search in mediawiki.org,
> - accept your new "mediawiki" search engine,
> - from now on, if you have doubts about mediawiki just search in there
> without hunting mediawiki.org anymore.

> this is the second one:
>
> WRITING IN WIKI USING AN EXTERNAL EDITOR: "ITSALLTEXT" FIREFOX ADDON!
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> If you are a heavy wiki author and use Firefox, and you feel tired of
> editing in the text area you probably end up:
>
> - copy-pasting the wikitext in your text editor
> - editing
> - copy-pasting back into mediawiki
> - clicking show preview
> - copy-paste the wikitext in your text editor
> - etc etc
>
> It's ok but also a hassle, especially if you interrupt often to do other
> stuff and have to save often, move, close firefox etc.
>
> I've often tried to setup an external editor for wiki, but reading the
> docs seems to be complicated, and due to lack of time I gave up.
>
> Then I've found this little addon, which is tremendously useful and easy
> at the same time:
> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125/
>
> After you have installed it:
> - in firefox: tools, addons, choose itsalltext, configure it to use your
> text editor of choice (I use geany), save
> - click on "edit" in a wiki page
> - hover the mouse in the lower-right corner of the text area, a small
> blu icon "edit" will appear
> - click on it and this will open a new file in your text editor, with
> the wikitext already in it!
> - edit the text, save and switch back to firefox: you'll see that the
> text area becomes yellow and fade to white again: your text is now in
> the text area!
> - click show preview, check things
> - go back to the text edit, save. Same yellow fade out: your text and
> your edit area are linked! :)
>
> Furthermore, say you have to interrupt your editing.
> Save your text in the text editor, close firefox.
>
> No worries, it is in your firefox home folder named something like
>
> /home/<your-user>/.mozilla/firefox/kj34kj42.default/itsalltext/wiki.blender.org.382e1f2x7e.txt
> (in linux, windows should be a similar location)
> where "kj34kj42.default" is your firefox profile, usually there is only
> one, but it's easy to find it anyway.
>
> To retrieve your work, just open wiki.blender.org.382e1f2x7e.txt again,
> paste it into a new edit box and start to work.
>
> The only safety measure is, don't use it to input personal data in text
> area (home banking or so) as they would be saved in a known location so
> other extensions can probably look in those files, not sure.

> This has been a huge step forward for me, so wanting to let you know :)
