wildmanne39elfy is there away to say get post 44 of a thread to convert instead of post 1? I tried but have failed18:32
elfynot sure - let me have a dig18:33
wildmanne39this is the thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10796508/postcount4418:33
wildmanne39ok18:33
elfyseems to do that - go to the thread - then click on the post number - you'll just get the post in a seperate window - use that URL - seems to work here18:36
elfywildmanne - you got the most up to date version of the script - should be 0.418:39
wildmanne39I believe let me look18:43
wildmanne39yes I do, I get a page to open but it is not that page18:46
elfyhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10796508&postcount=4418:47
elfytry that18:47
wildmanne39ok thanks I thought I had the wrong format at the end18:47
wildmanne39yeah that did it thank you save me a lot of work18:49
wildmanne39:)18:49
elfywoot - that's what teams are good for :)18:49
wildmanne39yep we all need help sometimes18:49
elfythreads where there are more than one post needing to go in the wiki will need each to be converted and then added together I guess18:50
wildmanne39yes that is my thought too18:50
wildmanne39some arw a mess18:50
wildmanne39are18:50
elfyanother good reason for people to look at the results before letting it out18:50
elfypersonally I think we should all have sandboxes18:51
wildmanne39elfy you know in my sandbox no formating will work I have to create a new page just to work on it18:51
elfyoh - wonder why that is18:52
elfythere's the forum wikli team one and you can use mine if you need to18:52
wildmanne39I do not know but I have tried several times and it is always the same18:52
wildmanne39I have added some threads to the rejected list also18:53
elfyoh good one - I've not had time to look at that for a while18:53
elfyI've not had much time fullstop18:54
wildmanne39I know what you mean I am doing as much as I can now I will be gone for about a week next month starting around the 7th18:55
elfywe can pretend to be a tag team then - I'll be back properly about then18:56
elfy:)18:56
wildmanne39there you go that is18:56
wildmanne39how teams work my cat hit the enter key while I was still typing18:57
elfyLOL18:57
wildmanne39she has to be as close as she can get18:57
elfy:)18:57
wildmanne39this is one is bobweavers he asked me to add some pictures but they are large I think that is going to be a problem18:58
elfyoh - you can set the size of the image19:01
elfyhave a look at this one I did https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ForumWikiTeam/ImportTool19:02
elfythe last two images were big so I did [[attachment:gedit.png|{{attachment:gedit.png||width=750}}]]19:02
elfytook a while to get the size right - but you'll get the idea19:03
wildmanne39ok I see that is a nice thing to know19:03
elfyI assume you've seen the various wiki formatting pages ?19:03
wildmanne39tell me do you see a good way to integrate this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1799571&page=2 with the previous link I gave you?19:04
wildmanne39yes I have some things I do not understand like color text19:04
elfyI not looked at that yet - but I'd look for a page that had some :)19:05
elfythe whole page? ^^19:05
wildmanne39I think so or maybe just the pictures but I think that would be confusing I would rather leave that page out19:07
wildmanne39also the link to the driver is dead I need to find another one19:07
elfyoic - this is the stuff bobweaver thinks should be in the page19:07
wildmanne39yes he asked me to add the pics from the second page but I am not sure how to combine it with the first with out doing a lot of rewriting19:08
elfywildmanne39: I would be inclined to not - do the wiki with the original information - the wiki is community based - if the community want to enhance they can19:09
elfysi my stance19:09
wildmanne39so just do the first page and let him edit as he wishes19:10
elfyotherwise we will get into a situation where post #5 of this thread, #72 of that one, #13 of the other would be best if they were all in the wiki page for post #1 of a completely different thread19:11
wildmanne39I see and that is a problem for me19:11
elfyyes - I would say so - if it was a matter of adding a bit here and there then that is different19:11
wildmanne39someone has already added the page but they had the first page and it makes no sense19:12
elfyI've not got any problem with anyone doing as they wish - but the 'team' position should be different perhaps :)19:12
elfywell there's nothing wrong with editing the exisiting wiki if it is wrong or making no sense19:13
wildmanne39I think you are right it is a big project and we can not do it all19:13
elfyexactly19:13
wildmanne39that is what I am going to do someone added the first page and left it that way but it is not the page that was intended to be added19:14
elfyyou are right to want to change it all then :)19:14
wildmanne39ok thanks I am going to get started19:15
elfyk19:15
