Discuss Wolfgang Fahl

Hello Wolfgang, could you change the Property:Attendee events to a page instead of text? That way, it would be linked in the Attendee overview. I would rather not do it myself, since changing the property type might mess something up at some other point that I am not aware of.

Also, I fixed the default form for the attendee pages, now they automatically open the form.

Also, the "Publish" check box is irritating, since all pages are published either way. What was it meant for? Can we eliminate that?

Sabine Melnicki (talk)

The change to Page is unforunately counter productive if done straightforward since this is a list of events. I would not know how to properly handle that case - see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Badon/Extension:Semantic_Forms/Manual/Multiple_values_for_the_same_field - in the template - we probably would need some array handling. Some people tried to work around by using

[[Event]]

but that makes things worse since now the properties are handled differently i started fixing a few of the pages. Would you have an idea to get this working or know someone to fix it (Yaron?)

The publish part was about the active "yes i agreed" of the participants so we could check that we had the agreement. It would need a different label but IMHO still makes sense.

The whole model is available at https://contexts.bitplan.com/index.php/SMWCon#tab=Model

i was intending do to a demo site where all this data is used for showing how the generation would be done "properly". The prerequisites have not been done on this wiki in 2015 e.g. install an uml rendering extension. Do we have mermaid by now?

The publish e.g. would indicate that i could copy the data to another wiki or use it for creating wikidata entries.

https://smw.bitplan.com/index.php/Template:Attendee

has a regenerated Template that is simpler and we might try/adapt. Especially it has links to the properties used.

Hello Wolfgang, what means "crm" in the Form:Attendee? Could you add an info there??

Sabine Melnicki (talk)

Thats only for the BITPlan internal Wiki where we have a CRM backend. I will deactivate it here for the time being

Thanks! I think you can even delete this field in this case instead of only commenting it out. I have some more questions for the List_of_Attendees:

• The table is far too wide for the screen, can we fix that?
• There is a trick, so that bulleted lists get shown in a template table, it has to do with a break, can you have a look at that? Its in the tips section,Help:Display a bulleted list in a table.
• What means "publish"? (Does it need to be shown in the overview table?)
• Can we make the Conferences automatically linked to the conference pages? That way, we could also have a query for attendees at the conference pages.

I find the template calls a bit confusing, but still, I am happy to help with this!

Hi Wolfgang, I just created this page for you. Cheers
