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 ;-)
