--- Comment #5 from [email protected] 2011-11-05 03:22:14 UTC --- I've mostly finished going through the file uploading functionality of Semantic Forms during the past week, and I've found several bugs and corresponding workarounds. I could post a whole bunch of bug reports, or I could reopen this one and just lay it all out. I did a good job of documenting them within the comments of the test code I used, to explain what is happening, where, and how to workaround it, so if you're OK with it, I can just plop it here and let you have a look before reopening this. In general, I think SF could use an overhaul of how it handles file uploading, and the bugs I've found are a good place to start. The worst part by far of all of this is MediaWiki's upload system in the lightbox. I'm completely stumped on how to even begin to work around problems I've found with that. I haven't written them down, but I could if it will help. I think it's mostly MediaWiki's problem, but the problems snowball into a disaster once they're combined with Semantic Forms, since the two products aren't capable of being glued together very well. I'm not sure if the right solution to the uploading problems is to produce a custom uploader just for SF, or to redo the MediaWiki uploader to #1 make it more reliable in general, and to #2 make it more compatible with external calls from things like SF. Now that I think about it, I better start writing down all the failures I encountered with the uploader before I forget, so I don't have to retest them all. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
