(Yaron Koren to SMW mailing list, March 23, 2015) If you read that page, there's quite a long discussion about it, and Semantic Forms is mentioned a few times. There's actually a feature request for that. The main issue is that VisualEditor - unlike WikiEditor, FCKeditor and the rest - is intended as a complete framework for editing a page it lacks the ability to only edit part of a page. While one could envision a GUI scenario where the form/template part is handled and rendered by SF and the freetext part by VE, this is unlikely to be the case at least in the near future. With VE installed the page has three edit tabs: "edit", "edit source" and "edit with form". will make that field "Year" editable within the popup that appears when clicking on the jigsaw puzzle icon.Ī semantic forms (SF) page often consists of one or more template calls and a free text area. A page containing a template call including a named parameter "Year", e.g.|Year=2015|. VE recognizes and supports named parameters within such commands or fields by generating an edit form in a popup window. a self implemented parser function #myfunction or in case of SMW a #ask ]. Hovering the mouse over such content will highlight the entire block clicking on it will accordingly not place a write cursor but rather display a small popup with a jigsaw puzzle icon and the wiki command that is responsible for the content displayed, e.g. VE cannot and should not change content whose source is not available on that page. Templates and other elements not having the text source on the edited page Editing the table structure (adding lines etc.) can only be done with a VE version 0.1.0 based on MW 1.25 or higher, otherwise the functionality is not available. the content of cells, can be edited with VE. In both places (a tab at page head and a link behin caption) a new option "edit source" becomes available that allows to edit the wiki markup source.Įxisting tables, i.e. Clicking on any of these will always put the entire page into VE mode (so not just the corresponding section, in case of links behind captions). VE will reconfigure both the edit tab on top of the page and the edit links behind captions on that page. Running VE with SMW VE will always edit entire page The following configuration has been found operational, feel free to add more as of march 2015 VE latest 0.1.0 version does not support current stable MW 1.24.1 version but requires a late alpha build of MW 1.24. It is necessary to check and obey compatibility requirements of the VE extension page. introducing table editing capabilities) to work MW 1.25 is required. In order to get the latest master branch of VE (e.g. It seems recommendable to use at least MW version 1.24. One can argue that SMW users should be encouraged to become early adopters and contribute their insights and opinions on the further development of this tool, being a particular yet important part of the MW community.Īll together the process is well documented. Contact the MW mailing list, the talk page or Hans and help might be found. However if one gets stuck at that point do not let this be a reason to not continue. As for the latter it probably does not make sense to create a new place here to document and discuss the installation of these. It involves more work than just getting some files/directories and adding one statement to LocalSettings.php in particular providing node.js/parsoid support. Installation is possible via git or downloaded archives (as usual). It is certainly helpful to read about VE to better understand what this fairly complex and powerful module does and how it works. 2.3 Templates and other elements not having the text source on the edited page.
