User talk:Curiouscrab

Welcome
Hi, welcome to ! Thanks for your edit to the User talk:Jens Ingels page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Grunny (Talk) 01:41, 6 April 2013 ~Curiouscrab (talk) 01:43, April 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok.

QuickTools
It has always been Open Source and anyone at anytime can modify or update the source. Personally I just haven't quite had the time (or motivation) to finish the project.

In reality the whole thing was one big hacky mess that I will someday get around to fixing. In the mean time you are free to build off of the current source as you see fit.

~Curiouscrab (talk) 19:55, July 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok. I wasn't sure if you were working on it and didn't want to disturb your current work if there was any.

UserTalkNotifications
Hi CC! The script at UserTalkNotifications works really well. But, it does not work in Monbook. Do you think you could add Monobook to the script? No one seems to be maintaining it anymore. I posted a note about it at Talk:UserTalkNotifications. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  10:51, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

~Curiouscrab (talk) 12:41, July 9, 2015 (UTC) ~Curiouscrab (talk) 18:36, July 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * I noticed that as well. Will do.


 * Thanks! I’ll let you know if I encounter anything odd. So far, me happy! :) — Spike  Toronto  07:06, July 10, 2015 (UTC)

Not you?!
I had thought it was you who didn’t like them. :$ — Spike  Toronto  5:25 am, Yesterday (UTC−4)

~Curiouscrab (talk) 10:17 pm, Yesterday (UTC−4)
 * It is.

Re: ToolbarLinks
OH, NO! But how can I create my own thinks here? Are almost all users that edited on this wiki creating a code? I am not good in javascript! Please! I like to have a change to create 1 page on this wiki! Please! I like to have a change! I edited CustomToolbarLinks. My code is easier than that long long code! :)

Are you a coder? Are the most users that are edting on this wiki know about javascript? And create a good long code in javascript???

~Curiouscrab (talk) 11:00, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm a coder, and I think that really all you need to do is replace certain items with variables. If you look around, lots of scripts have variables where items are often changed. If you replace LINK with a variable and TEXT with a variable then that would work. But, there already is a script for that. And, again, Wikia has its own Customize option. There's also a Monobook version as well (CustomButton).


 * OK
 * Is my DivRoundedCorners OK? (I am still working on it)

~Curiouscrab (talk) 11:08, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * It appears that you are using templates meant for Javascript templates. Also, I don't know the policy on CSS since I generally stay in the JS part of the site.


 * 1. Is it OK? Because there are also some CSS codes on this wiki. When there are also some CSS codes here, then it must be correct or not?

~Curiouscrab (talk) 13:13, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know the wiki's policy on CSS. You'd have to ask an admin as I can't answer your policy questions.


 * 2. For what is your Filter code good? :)

~Curiouscrab (talk) 13:13, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * It filters certain words that can be specified via the array filteredWords. You may also want to check this out for information on how that works.


 * How do I do it?
 * Like AutoEditPages. How can I make my own box appear when I click on this button: File:12345Image.jpgFile:EmptyBoxImage.jpg


 * Can you give me the code for it if you can? :) --PhilippL 15:09, July 16, 2015 (UTC)

~Curiouscrab (talk) 15:13, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * You can check out other scripts that have custom boxes such as QuickTools and QuickToolsv2. I would just use CSS to create the box personally.


 * Can you give me the code for an "empty" box? :)


 * Probably just something like this:

~Curiouscrab (talk) 15:26, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * And use  and customize as wanted.


 * I know but I like that this box will appear when I click on my own Settings button (The picture on the top of the message).

~Curiouscrab (talk) 15:49, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * Then use  and add the attribute "onclick" to your link and change the "href" attribute to "#". Your link should be something like Settings plus the other stuff. Then add to the onclick attribute "document.getElementById('settings').style.display='block';" so you end up with Settings


 * Where must I put this code? It's to complicated for me, I am very bad at code. Can you please do it for me? Write the whole code. I have this code already:

PurgeButtonText = 'Settings'; importScriptPage('PurgeButton/code.js', 'dev');

~Curiouscrab (talk) 15:57, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * You put that on your wiki's Mediawiki:Common.js page, your personal common.js page (User:PhilippL/common.js), or your global.js page (w:c:c:User:PhilippL/global.js). Also see this helpful page.


 * But when I paste your HTML code into JS pages, there will be many errors! (I can't write JS)

~Curiouscrab (talk) 16:03, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * You would use a jQuery function to add in the box such as  and then put the JS on one of the pages I listed above.


 * It is still to complicated for me. It's confusing me with this code. Put all your code together that I must only copy and pasting it. (I am bad at HTML......)

 * Must I create a div box in CSS first?


 * You can add to Mediawiki:Common.css, User:PhilippL/common.css, or w:c:c:User:PhilippL/global.css:

~Curiouscrab (talk) 16:20, July 16, 2015 (UTC)

For CSS Page
It's still to complicated for me! :(  I made you an admin on Test Wiki4 Wiki. Please go to MediaWiki:Wikia.js and look at my code an the very bottom. PhilippL (Talk)

My New Sig
Look at my new Sig! :)

~Curiouscrab (talk) 16:38, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * Too big. Against Wikia's signature policy.


 * Is it not good? What do you mean with too big? You not a very nice user.. :( No smileys NOTHING! + The code is not working when I click on my Settings button.

~Curiouscrab (talk) 16:46, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * It's too big and distracting. Wikia's policy includes that signatures may not be distracting to the eye and must not interfere with a conversation. They should just be little markers to indicate with who one is speaking. I used to want a really cool looking signature as well. Apologies for my tone of voice. It came out wrong.


 * My code is not working. Why?

~Curiouscrab (talk) 16:49, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm nice. BTW, I put the wrong code on Wikia.js. I need to put


 * Please make it for me on Test Wiki4 Wiki. :)

~Curiouscrab (talk) 16:59, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * I need the see-edit thingy that only bureaucrats can use in order to make the edits.

~Curiouscrab (talk) 17:04, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * You need to make me bureaucrat in order for me to access the see-edit tool that allows me to auto-read scripts for any errors and repair them.


 * OK, I made you a bureaucrat now. Can you please look at the code now if it's working? Fix the code if there are some errors.

~Curiouscrab (talk) 17:52, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * Does it work for you yet?
 * Yes, it works but there are some things that can be fixed:

Plus: I like to have there an X for closing this box.
 * PhilippL Talk

~Curiouscrab (talk) 18:07, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know how to fix that. I tried z-index, but it doesn't appear to have worked.

Please
Please edit AdminDashboard JS-Button/code.js:

~Curiouscrab (talk) 18:50, July 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * How so?


 * When I click on my JS editor button, it goes to Test Wiki2 Wiki. I like to have that the button will link to the JS editor page on that wiki where my code is used. Plus, the border must be grey/darkgrey. Copy the code I have on the top.

~Curiouscrab (talk) 18:57, July 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * I didn't realize you changed it up. Fixed.

:)
Who made your avatar? It fits to your name. :)

~Curiouscrab (talk) 18:52, July 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * I actually stole it from Scratch which I used to be into until the college students in charge of the project graduated and the next wave of students came in and changed everything from the theme to the policies and so I accidentally violated one of the stupid new policies they added.

AdminDashboard JS-Button
I like to have the border in the color #CCCCCC in my AdminDashboard JS-Button tool:

Please copy the code. I hope after this edit it will be perfect. I don't like to ask so many times to change the border color.


 * Please edit the page! :)

Code
What did I do wrong here?

var text = "Text, Text, Text";

document.getElementById(text).innerHTML = text;

And here?

for (i=1; i < text.length; i++) {

document.write(i + " ");

}

var text = "Test 12345";

 Question: 

'What can I do if I have soooo many questions about JS? Who can I ask? What is the best thing I can do? I am bad in JS. I almost know nothing! Please help me! This Codecademy is so annoying! I don't like to go there anymore. It's so annoying to puzzle around hours with this code! Are all the people on this page learn it faster? I don't know, there are also some people that know so few about it and can't understand it. Sometimes I really need help! Also the tips are not enough. I really need sometimes help or an correct answer. Is there a trick for learning it? I like to know more but the only thing I need is some help sometimes. That means I most ask you many questions or what?'


 * Well, I'm not sure why you have the script in the body rather than the head (i.e. within tags) and also you need to have the page load the script. Right now, nothing will happen. You need to put the script into a function and then add the attribute onload to body that calls the function. I like to use load; so you would put

then the body tag would look like  ~Curiouscrab (talk) 19:38, August 1, 2015 (UTC)
 * For what are the "head" tags? It doesn't make a difference... Please look at my question. :)

function load { var text = "Text, Text, Text"; document.getElementById(text).innerHTML = text; }  function load { var text = "Test 12345"; for (i=1; i < text.length; i++) { document.write(i + " "); } }  ...

~Curiouscrab (talk) 19:43, August 1, 2015 (UTC)

~Curiouscrab (talk) 19:46, August 1, 2015 (UTC)
 * As for your question, just search confusing things on Google. If you have any more questions, ask in the forums here or on the technical forums on the central wikia.

AdminDashboard JS-Button
I like to have the border in the color #CCCCCC in my AdminDashboard JS-Button tool:

Please copy the code. I hope after this edit it will be perfect. I don't like to ask so many times to change the border color.

Please
I think it's easier when I can edit my AdminDashboard JS-Button/code.js page. Can you please do something for me that I can edit that page? I don't like to always ask. Must I be a code editor first to edit? I don't like to learn JS now for 3 mounths and then when I am very good in it then I ask again... I don't like to do that. I like to edit this pages now and not later.

~Curiouscrab (talk) 15:46, August 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I can't do anything to help you. That's up to Cqm and/or Grunny to decide, and they only allow code editor privileges to those who know exactly what they're doing (i.e. know JS very well) and thus would require that you learn JS before they give you the permission. You also might be able to request them to unprotect the page so that you can edit it.

Page protection
I saw you've been adding a few more scripts here since the recent vandalism spree but obviously they're all unprotected. I'm guessing you're using them elsewhere after adding them here and as I'd like to avoid any more issues could you notify me when you do add anything new? You can either poke me on my talk page, or use Code protect (which should notify me via email). Alternatively, you can get me on skype - ask SpikeToronto to give you my contact info (I don't like handing it out publicly) :)

~Curiouscrab (talk) 20:17, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't "Skype" so that wouldn't do me any good. I'm guessing the Code protect is for the documentation.

HELP!
I need a page to learn JS! Codecadeas is bad! Why? I can't undersrtdn JS. Where did you learn it on what internet page? Also W3schols doesn't help me! I need a page for learnign.

~Curiouscrab (talk) 20:23, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * If those don't help you, then pretty much all will present the information the same. Maybe the pace is too quickly. For example, I learned PHP in an hour. Not everything was clear, though. I had to work with it to finally understand what the things meant. Same with JS. It was my first real language and thus my hardest. Most languages are very similar and thus learning one can easily be transferred to others. But, the first one is the most difficult. I think what you need is an instructor. I might be able to help you.
