Mark - The issue is how can we force a search using some kind of markup on a page. The map page uses extension markups and the stuff in between those goes on the map. For most maps, like the Fort wiki map, and pins have a link built into them that leads to one page in the wiki - the specific fort in that case. But since our towns sometimes have over a dozen entries, that doesn't work for us. So I wanted the "link" to actually force a search on the town that the pin corresponds to, so people who click on the link will get a full listing. That's what I figured out how to do today.

Mark - Of the 4 items above, 2 and 3 should now be fixed. Email is enabled in the settings file, and the wiki did send me a new password by email. Maybe there is a separate function for the watch function?
As of yet, I have not figured out how to enable Recent changes on the navigation menu.

Mark - Is this the way I should respond to your message in my talk page?
As to the things you asked about:
Your e-mail address was authenticated on 12:35, 21 November 2007.
E-mail me when a page I'm watching is changed
E-mail me when my user talk page is changed
E-mail me also for minor edits of pages
Enable e-mail from other users
Send me copies of emails I send to other users
The user profile under my preferences gives me a check box to enable e-mail from other users. You don't have that? And I don't know anything about the others. And I don't remember seeing anything about them in the book. Are these controlled by setup variables?

yea! talk page is on :-)

Ya mean like this? ~~Tsmith



The index page is okay for now -- since we're working on it. Once we go live, though, I think we'll need to revert it simply because it won't make a lot of sense to the average visitor who comes via Google, Yahoo or DogPile. Such folks might never scroll down to see the Index itself. Trey



Mark: Dean & I were talking about the "location" category and we both agreed that it should refer to geographic places. So, I've created another category called "entity type" for the various governments to be housed in. I changed "Type" to "Legislation" simply because Type begs the question: Type of what?

I also shortened Labor Union Resolutions to Labor Unions because a) we already have a Resolutions category and b) some of the stuff listed might reflect a policy decision, not strictly a resolution.

Mark - Of the 4 items above, 2 and 3 should now be fixed. Email is enabled in the settings file, and the wiki did send me a new password by email. Maybe there is a separate function for the watch function?

As of yet, I have not figured out how to enable Recent changes on the navigation menu.

Mark - Is this the way I should respond to your message in my talk page?

As to the things you asked about:

Your e-mail address was authenticated on 12:35, 21 November 2007. E-mail me when a page I'm watching is changed E-mail me when my user talk page is changed E-mail me also for minor edits of pages Enable e-mail from other users Send me copies of emails I send to other users

The user profile under my preferences gives me a check box to enable e-mail from other users. You don't have that? And I don't know anything about the others. And I don't remember seeing anything about them in the book. Are these controlled by setup variables?

Dmyerson Dean

By the way, is there any problem in deleting some of those bogus users who haven't logged in in ages?
