By the way, I'd suggest removing the "current events" link from the navigation bar. As it stands, it seems pretty useless to me. The site map should also be phased out, as pages like the Community Portal probably do a better job at directing people to the pages they are looking for. I'm no...

I'm running MSIE 5.5 on an ancient Mac (OS 9.22), so it may just be that my computer is too old! (Yes, I know I need to replace it - he-he.) As far as I know, MSIE 5.5/Mac is actually superior to MSIE5/Win (which would probably shred the page to pieces - even IE6 is playing along rather unwillingly...

I concur with Feldmahler, too. Off topic: Besides I have removed the link from Liszt's wikipedia article (that site Peter mentioned above), so now only IMSLP is mentioned with CPDL and WIMA, the latter which I should remove in a couple of days if there aren't going to be any reactions on my recent ...

The reason I proposed what I proposed was because generally I think it is a good idea to have only the minimum amount of duplication on the page level, and also entrust the templates with as much of the formatting as possible (just so we can change it later on, like what happened with the file temp...

No problem, but why do you want to do it like that? I mean, why not output something like

Code: Select all

{{PDComposer|yyyy}}
{{Composer|Born={{#makedate:yyyy|mm|dd}}...
?

Err... which one? The Template:PDComposer is ready since yesterday morning, complete with usage instructions. You can see it in action on the test page. Or are you talking about something else?

Video: Heifetz plays Bach's Chaconne for solo violin

Just came across these links in the French Wikipedia, and thought I'd share. Unfortunately the video is cut in two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_1hS5LeBm0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CayfIWwtd5A My favourite however remains a recording of Busoni's transcription, performed by Arturo Benedetti ...

My PDComposer template should do exactly what Carolus said in his last post, so it should be OK. As for the HTML form, in the simplest case you replace <input type='text' name="cfBorn" value="" /> by something like Y: <input type='text' name="cfBornY" value=""...

Great, thanks. (Actually I was thinking along the same lines; I was also wondering about the internal use of unix timestamps, but as far as I can tell there is no problem, since in our case they are actually never used.) Should we work on the "add composer" interface next? We could also in...

[Edit] I have left out the edit links for the news and featured scores sections. I was thinking that we could put them at the top of the talk page instead. That doesn't seem a logical location to me... But can't think of better alternatives. Well, I can also put them back into the page itself. An a...

I just realised that it still won't work for composer pages, because you can't feed it years that lie too far in the past... back to the drawing board.

You can leave it as it is for the moment however, since for the dates for which it is currently used it works correctly.

And there I was wondering why I got the wrong output on my local server... took me a while to figure that out. Anyway, here is my newest attempt. This function should properly handle Y, YM and YMD. I assumed that the format for YM would be the same in all languages, otherwise we will have to modify ...

and so here's the new code: function renderIMSLPDate( &$parser, $year = 0, $month = 0, $date = 0 ) { global $wgLang; if( !$year or $month < 1 or $month > 12 or $date < 1 or $date > 31 or !($ts = mktime( 0, 0, 0, (int) $month, (int) $date, (int) $year )) ) return 'MKDATEERROR'; else return $wgLa...

OK, I've made some minor changes, and I've filled in the missing content. The background of the welcome text is lighter now, and I've slightly altered the position. I don't know if it is better than before, but at least it should look less squashed on narrow screens. The right column is also a bit w...

You are perfectly right with your observations. The problem is that the software IMSLP is using was originally written for Wikipedia , and thus is not perfectly suited for the purposes of IMSLP (several changes have already been made). We are working on improving it however. Under site development t...
