Flickr-Like cOMMONS = Flommons
Nice work
Thanks.
- Can be slooow at times, since there's no index on img_user/img_user_text
How does MW handle that then? Or do you mean on the toolserver? (=poke DaB)
It doesn't. I don't see a link on commons that says "user gallery". It's only relevant for pages that show files uploaded by a single user. Also, the search uses MySQL LIKE "%" stuff, which tends to be long even on an index.
- No login or upload (yet?)
- Normal blue links stay in Flommons, light-blue links go to Commons
You should add red-links (or is it light-red?) for non-existing pages (as most image talk).
Good idea.
The thing is a single Perl script. Maybe I should go and rewrite MediaWiki like that. Oh wait... (anyone aroung long enough to get this joke?)
easy: [[Mediawiki#History]] But wait... how is it you're learning Perl *now*?
Yeah... I kinda avoided that by rewriting everything in PHP the other day ;-)
Is it viewable? common.php?common_source=flommons.pl is blank ;)
Not yet, which is good, because it contains my database pwd in plain text ;-)
PS: {{CopyrightByWikimedia}} images doesn't show license, i guess they pd? :D
Currently, all categories that contain "PD" or "GFDL" or "CC-" are considered licenses ;-)
