Hi everyone, Version 1.8.6 of Semantic Forms has been released. This version contains bug fixes and small feature improvements, including: - support has been dropped for versions of Semantic MediaWiki before 1.4. - the 'upload window' page now supports MediaWiki 1.16 (the uploading code has changed somewhat in the upcoming MW version). - 'upload window' now also handles file names with apostrophes in their names correctly; thanks to Jack Pond for the fix. - some of the HTML printed now uses MediaWiki's 'XML' class for printing, which is the recommended way to go about it. - the handling of templates with slashes and/or parentheses in their names now works again; this stopped working around version 1.8, when some of the parsing code was changed. - Daniel Friesen added a "Has field label format" special property, which allows you to specify the "display format" for pre-defined property values in forms, i.e. in dropdowns and the like. See here for an explanation of display formats: http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_information#Formats_for_specific_printout_types Note that there's a larger need to be able to set dropdown, etc. values to any arbitrary string, which this new feature doesn't support: hopefully that will get addressed in an upcoming version, possibly the next one. - the 'Special:RunQuery' page can now be embedded into regular pages, also thanks to Daniel Friesen. - the 'Run query' button in Special:RunQuery can be set manually in the form definition, using the new {{{standard input|run query}}} button; thanks again to Daniel Friesen for that. - all standard inputs can now have "style=" and "class=" parameters set for them in the form definition, thanks once again to Daniel Friesen. - the output of #forminput no longer has an extra newline at the top; which means that the the display of form inputs will be affected. You can always add another line above #forminput in your form definition files, to get it to look like it used to. - support was added for setting the target page's 'super page', for the "one-step" approach for creating pages. - If the "start=" value for setting an automatic page name in the form has leading zeroes (e.g., "00001"), the form will now preserve those leading zeroes when creating page names; thanks to Jack Pond for this patch as well. (You may recall that I announced this bug fix in the last version too; I announced it, but I forgot to actually add in the code. :) ) - the code that checks whether a user is allowed to create a page now runs the check in the right namespace; thanks to Tim Hessint for the bug fix. -Yaron |

You're welcome! I assume you meant "friends". :) -Yaron On Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 4:57 PM, Jude jonassaint <jcj...@gm...>wrote: > Yaron: > > Many thanks to you and your friend. > Jude > > On Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 4:05 PM, Yaron Koren <ya...@gm...> wrote: > >> Hi everyone, >> >> Version 1.8.6 of Semantic Forms has been released.

"- the 'Special:RunQuery' page can now be embedded into regular pages, also thanks to Daniel Friesen." That has absolutely made my Christmas! Fantastic. Thanks to Yaron and Daniel for the excellent work. Best holiday and new year wishes to all on the mailing list. I think 2010 is going to be a big year for SMW! Cheers Neill. |
