True. > > Can you make "Main display unit" another alias to SMW_SP_DISPLAY_UNITS > in $m_SpecialPropertyAliases? Yes. Our impression just was that the whole display unit feature is not used by so many wikis anyway. When we add aliases now, we will have to support them in perpetuity. So I suggest we wait until someone really complains about having too many unit-using properties to do the changes manually. Since "main display unit" now is a normal property, one can use its property page to find all articles that might need upgrade. I doubt that there are more than ten affected pages in any wiki. -- Markus > > If not, it's not a big deal, the conversion notes > http://ontoworld.org/wiki/Upgrading_from_SMW_0.7_to_SMW_1.0 explain what > to do. > > -- > =S Page > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. > Still grepping through log files to find problems?
