System Plan

2008 Q2

2008 Q3

  • namespaces support ( input from Mike ) Done

2008 Q4

  • Wasp2 integration (suspended )

2009

  • DAW vBulletin integration (input from Jacob)
  • Integrated class reference in 'The hammer' (input from Wil )

2019

  • Moved over to managed hosting by Antwise Solutions, ownership and stewardship of the wiki stays at Unicorn InterGlobal.
  • Upgraded to latest mediawiki version.
  • For syntax highlighting we have moved away from GeSHi and are now using SyntaxHighlighter from Seong Jae Lee. The GeSHi extension now uses a completely different bases and stopped working for custom languages such as DataFlex.

The new extension was fairly easy to customize. It itself is a small wrapper around the javascript library from Alex Gorbatchov's syntaxhighlighter.

It still supports the same code tags. Added lang="dataflex" as well which is now preferred instead of lang="vdf".

My modified version of the extension that understands dataflex syntax is available here: https://github.com/wilva/SyntaxHighlighter

On hold

https using Let's Encrypt. Need the DNS records of the wiki to point down here in order to be able to add that.

Add another off site backup to a 3rd party (not antwise)

Notes

Namespaces support

Bugs

  • Looks like GeSHi crashes every now and then. (but it saves the page)
  • GesHi rendering bug: < becomes "& lt ;" and > becomes "& gt; "

We are no longer using GeSHi, problem solved. Wil (talk) 12:22, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
