Protocol

Generally, posts on this page will be replied to on this page. Posts on other pages will be replied to on those pages. I like keeping discussions in one place.

When posting something code or anything that should use a monospace font, please use one. Two options are <code>html tags</code> or {{User:Topaz/fmt-code|my wiki template}}. The template is preferred because it makes code stand out and makes its start and end more obvious.

If you're looking for help with scripts, start with the script installation manual first.

The message

I can see your message "You seem to be using outdated...", however I cannot find the encoding for the Status Changer. Could you please give me the link for the status changer?

Thanks,

Booksworm ^{Talk to me!} 10:42, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Link to the status changer. Prodego ^talk 23:41, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Prodego - keeping me sane one talk page question at a time! ~Topaz^♪♫∆ 05:40, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

The status changer is broken because wputil can't find the edittoken. Neither can I actually, where is it stored? Prodego ^talk 00:28, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

It's grabbed out of a regex for edit pages:

  var edittoken = prelimresp.responseText.match(/\<input type='hidden' value="([0-9a-f]+\\?)" name="wpEditToken" \/\>/)[1];

I see the input it's supposed to be matching when I view the source of the page. Where exactly is it having trouble? Topaz 00:42, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

When I try to change my status, the edit fails with

GET http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Prodego/Status&action=submit (375ms)index.php (line 8)

prelimresp.responseText.match(/\<input type='hidden' value="([0-9a-f]+\\?)" name="wpEditToken" \/\>/) has no properties
[Break on this error] var edittoken = prelimresp.responseText.match(/\<input type='hidden' value="([...

in the error console. Prodego ^talk 00:50, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I've applied my patch to my copy of wputil - anyone linking back to my copy should have everything working again! Thanks for the quick response and debugging help! ~Topaz^♪♫∆ 01:48, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

So "+\" was the suspect? You don't need to add pre you know, just purge the page cache (so useful now that you added it to my toolbox). Thanks for the barnstar! Prodego ^talk 03:55, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, it just needed a cache purging? It's never done that to me before, so I just assumed they had changed something with Javascript rendering. ~Topaz^♪♫∆ 05:39, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, it has always done that for me. Prodego ^talk 06:04, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Hola. Con la corrección que hiciste ya no me sale el mensaje de error comentando por Prodego, sin embargo aún no funciona el setpagecontent. Podrías ver a que puede deberse este error?. P.d En mi monobook tengo una copia exacta del tuyo. Saludos --Axxgreazz (consultas?) 14:57, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, that is correct. I don't think you are grabbing the full token, and the edit is being rejected. Prodego ^talk 15:25, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

It is correctly grabbing the token, is it possible for it to change before the edit is submitted? The edit is failing with "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in." Prodego ^talk 15:33, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Ojo que la negrita si funciona en la barra de estado, pero la página "Status" no se está modificando. Ejemplo: 1 y 2. Saludos --Axxgreazz (consultas?) 17:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

That fixed it. Prodego ^talk 19:35, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

...you're really creepy, Prodego. Yeah, I found my bug (really dumb mistake on my part) and just pushed the changes to the main scripts. ~Topaz^♪♫∆ 19:37, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Custom status messages

I was thinking of this idea for a while: You right-click on the status type you want, then a textbox appears where the status type label was and you enter the custom message in that textbox and press Enter.

For example, say I wanted and away message that said "On Vacation." I right-click on "away" and a textbox appears where "away" was. Then I type "On Vacation" and press Enter.

I bet I'm not the only one who'll benefit from this. --_[[ year2000prob ^]] 21:14, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Okay, how would you define how status types act? Would you define templates for online, away, offline, and then have the script load text into those? Some people differentiate their status types with images or colors or both. ~Topaz^♪♫∆ 15:48, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
