'''Moving == Forum ==Today the search''' field a bit more to [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum Forum] opened its gates. I felt it was necessary because the top discussion system of the left menu will be nice, so its easier to search articles without scrolling aroundWiki is not adequate. Hope you can do that PLEAAAASE .. It is not meant to replace every talk page, but it's good for general discussion topics :-) [[User:KangarooGryzor|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJTGryzor]] 09:3606, 5 August 22 November 2006 (CESTCET)
----== Sidebar links ==
I think it would be nice to have There is a menu link to technical documentation and sourcecode (routine collection) little problem with the pages linked only in the sidebar: they only appear on the left sidedefault mediawiki theme. You then can put articles like 'Hardware scrolling' in this categories... --There is a list here: [[Userspecial:Octoate|Octoatelonelypages]] 15Link them from somewhere else :14, 3 July 2006 (CDT)
: That:Ah yes, you's a really good idea - re right and I have noticed it myself - though I don't know why anyone would be nice use some other theme, I think this is the best by far :D Anyhow, I'm just waiting to be able to post source code heremove servers, when this is done I'll look after such details.... --thanks for pointing out!!! [[User:ChaRleyTroniCGryzor|ChaRleyTroniCGryzor]] 1710:0003, 3 28 July 2006 (CDT)
: Indeed it's :There is still 14 orphaned pages... and i prefer using another theme because i use a nice idea, browser without css support... And what is the difference between [[Applications]] and Utilities ?:::You are right, I thought about it upon looking at will move the source code provided over at Utilities to the Zone. Will add a link when I get back from work :) Apps and mark them to be deleted! -- [[User:GryzorOctoate|GryzorOctoate]] 2210:3513, 3 July 11 August 2006 (CDTCEST)
----== Search ==
Maybe its possible to make a list As I still don´t understand why we have two search windows I repeat the question if we really need them both? ;-) --[[User:Villain|Villain]] 17:08, 28 August 2006 (CEST):Yup. The second one (the top one) was added when the sidebar was so tall that the lower search field was out of all softwarethe screen. Now the sidebar is too short, but it will probably grow again.... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 18:22, 28 August 2006 (CEST):: hey.. i'm just waiting for someone who tells me.. REMOVE THAT F*/&%NG second Search-houses like OceanField and.. booom.. it will be gone :-D [[User:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJT]]:::Hey Kanga, Alligata etcREMOVE THAT F*/&%NG second search field! --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 21:04, 28 August 2006 (CEST)::::Don´t know if anybody else already told you but: REMOVE THAT F*/&%NG second Search-Field --[[User:Villain|Villain]] 21:09, 28 August 2006 (CEST)::::Ok, have noticed the Wink with the Zaunpfahl :-) and i will do my job tomorrow, if i find time :-):::::Ok, I removed it. Where we can add some nice informations about those companiesHappy, y'all?:) [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 20:00, 29 August 2006 (CEST):::::Ahh Gryzor did it :) So what? [[User:81.90.35.80|81.90.35.80]] 11:20, 24 September 2006 (CEST)
: You can actually add a link yourself. If you go into The [[Games]] section you can add a link about [[Software Houses]] == Mainpage and start adding. Maybe I will add it to the sidebar as well :) - [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 22:35, 3 July 2006 (CDT)Sidebar ==
----TBH I like Gryzors rollback of the sidebar, as all the important main links should be mentioned there to have fast access from every point inside CPCWiki. With an usual screen resolution you should see the complete main part of the sidebar, so I don't see any problem with its length.
Why does Regarding the crap keep getting posted at main page, what's about redesigning it a little bit in the bottom way of the most other Wikis like Wikipedia? The main pageshouldn't contain the complete site map.I like the style of Wikipedia much more.. bloody spammers! -- [[User:ExecutionerProdatron|ExecutionerProdatron]]16:29, 29 August 2006 (CEST)
:Indeed... I have noticed your work (you always get to it faster than me!)Well, and I really thank you for thatdiffer in my opinion with yours. This is what you get for allowing posts without registering, but I think itdon's worth it continuing t like thisa big sidebar and prefer a good main page which can bring me directly to the different stuff in the Wiki, at least for because you have much more room there to give a whilegood entry point. Btw, I only use 1024x768 and I so I see how it goestill "Software-Programming" in the sidebar (ok, will change if I get a new notebook someday ;)).Anyway, I will join the majority =).. Thanks so much! --[[User:GryzorOctoate|GryzorOctoate]] 0219:1654, 22 July 29 August 2006 (CDTCEST)
:::"Software-Programming" is your last visible entry? 8-O Maybe you choosed a font size of 300% and installed the Google, Yahoo and MSN toolbars at the same time? ;-)) My last entry is "Editing help", well, with 1280x1024. Ok, the sidebar could be still optimized, maybe we can move "About -contribute" to the end (it should be also mentioned on the start page) and remove "PD libraries" as an example (not so important for having an own entry point here IMHO). -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 20:26, 29 August 2006 (CEST)
Hi:::: Here at work I use 2560x1024, if so there is no problem here. Maybe I add will use a JPG with the '|thumb' command, it doesn't show on the page (e.g. [[CPC Schneider International]]smaller font size and buy some glasses for my notebook ;-). What am I doing wrong? --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 0110:0252, 5 30 August 2006 (CEST)
::The reason I also think, that rolled it back to a more expanded list (though I condensed the "thumb" feature CPC models) is that, if it's not working yet. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 03:18like that, 5 August 2006 then surely there's no reason in having a Sidebar? 8) Though I understand that on some resolutions (CESTare you really on '''1024'''?? :D )the entire SIdebar may not be visible, I think that removing it altogether is much worse than having one that doesn't show in its entirety!
: I'm having troubles with : Concerning the permissions on main page, now, it should not be the server. The Wiki needs only launching page - the image folder user should not need to be chmod'ed get to 777the homepage in order to jump to a different category, but some hence the use of the subfolders do not have full access yetSidebar. On the other hand Ifind it 'm trying to chmod all of them''much more useful''' as it is right now, but how do than like it was before, though it can be improved somewhat - I make sure 'll agree with Prodatron in that the newly created ones will be 777? it looks somewhat 'dry' right now.[[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 0820:3805, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST)
::if you need help or Shell-Access : Oh come on .. wich BAST)(&" has modified the server Sidebar again to do chmod that really useless and annoying list of unwanted links :-r comands on dirsD Why dont use the mainpage AND the SEARCH to find content, just give me a call instead of adding things wild, unorganized and i will set it up for you. useless to the sidebar?? [[User:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJT]] 0921:2749, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST)
:::Problem solved indeed :) You and Octo have your mainpage, and Gryzor and me have our sidebar. Everyone is happy now :-P -- [[User:GryzorProdatron|GryzorProdatron]] 1621:3858, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST)
::::: =) ----[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 10:52, 30 August 2006 (CEST)
:::: I think it will be a good idea it´s useful to do localisation. So i can add or translate Pages into german, cause my english writing is not that good as needed for have some more things on the wikiSidebar than before. I'll do my best, but heyBut now it´s too much.. there are a few users around wich cannot write nor read english, so it will . As Prodi already said PD libraries should be a help for themkicked out, also clones and some others too. What do you think about localisation? .. --[[User:KangarooVillain|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJTVillain]] 0921:3157, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST)
: I would be a little bit afraid, that this could split up our forces, as it is a lot additional work. Maybe people would start writing only in their native languages. Better to have an article in bad english (which can be corrected by other people) than having it only in a "local" language (which can't be read by other people). But that's just my opinion. :::: Sounds good! -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 1321:1258, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST)
:: I have the same opinion like Prodatron. ::: It's much more work did it in this way and both Wikis will be differentmoved "contribute" to the end. You Is it better now? Btw, how can see an example for that situation on the [http://wiki.gp2x.org GP2X Wiki] and this device has a much bigger userbase. I guess clear the most common language should be used, so we should write greek.... aehm... english ;-). cache? --[[User:OctoateProdatron|OctoateProdatron]] 1522:5704, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST)
: ::: The Bastard is me, I think this was discussed beforewould guess.As I said, the reason for rolling it back is that under the short form, there is simply NO NEED for the sidebar.The sidebar is there for the reader to be able to navigate quickly to all parts of the wiki without having to go to the main page. It is NOT useless, certainly NOT unwanted (Iuse it all the time instead of the main page links) and I doubt it'm not against content in other languagess annoying - the space is empty if you don't put links there, but so it goes wasted. The Main Page is NOT the place to put links on and is much harder to use than the sidebar. Unorganized? Iwouldn'm worried this will lead to lots t think so - the structure is quite ok right now, if anyone can think of content being in Frenchways to improve it, German or Spanishplease do step forward. It's not even wild, hence for since it has been tamed a limited audience. So lot since its first appearance, and definitely not unorganized - see the little boxes that organise it? :p [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 09:49, 30 August 2006 (CEST) == New main page == I was thinking so free and reorganized the complete main page into the usual "wiki style".So the complete link list ("CPCWiki portal") has its own page now - we should improve this page, that nearly all articels can be found there directly or indirectly.Regarding the new main page maybe it we can add even more sections like "article of the month" or something like this. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 02:40, 1 September 2006 (CEST) :Great. I like the new wikilike design. --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 09:58, 1 September 2006 (CEST) ::I am pleased to hear that! We just need to take care about the up-to-dateness. As an example, every one, who is inserting a new entry in the news section should be allowed also update the main page. I would also like to suggest and add some guidelines, which describe, what and how to add entries to the different sections in the main page to prevent uncontrolled growth. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 16:24, 1 September 2006 (CEST) ::: I like the new layout as long well, it's meaningful and nicely put, although I think it can use a little cleaning over time :) I'm a bit confused as an english translation is providedto how news etc works, though, it currently seems to be all over the place and it's difficult to maintain it for someone who doesn't know exactly how... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 20:37, 1 September 2006 (CEST):::: Regarding the news I will write a suggestion for the guidline how to insert new news. In general you have a headline, which have to be placed to the news (max 10 entries), the news archive (unlimited) and the main page (max 3 entries). The headline is the article name where you write the news itself + links to the source and the category (month). -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 20:58, 1 September 2006 (CEST) == Main picture of the main page ==Gryzor, why have you modified the photo of the main page with the ancient one ? If this wiki is related to cpc, i guess it's not only the cpc 464 and the whole cpc range is concerned...Almost the 464 photo seemd truncated and overlayed by a line. Longshot --[[User:195.154.167.66|195.154.167.66]] 14:53, 23 November 2006 (CET) You have reverted modification without any caseanswer about my contrib here about that...I won't to waste time to update this picture again. Gryzor, maybe we can allow you're the main contributor of this site but i think your method is not fair, especially on a site built mainly by contributors.--[[User:Longshot|Longshot]] 13:17, 24 November 2006 (CET) : Well. I reverted it to the older version because I assumed there is something wrong with the provision image, that this will's all. For some reason the "range" photo won't appear, eventuallyand I tried it fromt wo different computers and different browsers. Can you try reuploading the image under a new filename and changing the main page? Also, be translatedthe 464 pic does appear fine for me - tried with Firefox, Opera, IE. But if we As you can see it's not a matter of being 'unfair' - it's a technical issue, despite the fact that no translations are doneI like the 464 one better :):PS try to remember to log in before doing any changes.... :) [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 19:36, then maybe 24 November 2006 (CET) ::Sorry for the misunderstanding. About the range photo it shouldn't continues strange because i've any problem with ie or firefox (my personal pc) or crazy browser on my professional pc. This picture is a scan i'd modified in 2001 and coming from my site. I've compressed the picture with a newer version of image ready from 53kb to 29.2 kb and i try to upload it again under a new name. Please let me know if the problem occurs again... --[[User:Longshot|Longshot]] 11:46, 26 November 2006 (CET) ::: It appears ok now, but I scaled the thumbnail down a bit because it was a big too big... thanks![[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 1618:3811, 5 August 26 November 2006 (CET) == CPC taking a day off == Is the CPC still in vacation? ;-) Maybe we could remove the picture, to make the info boxes below accessible in a better way again. Are maybe someone has an idea for an other cool frontpage motive? -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 22:36, 18 September 2007 (CEST)
