[15:52] <T13> VE Question. How is VE currently set up to handle users that
have opted-in to gadgets that modify the editing window such as wikEd?
...
[15:54] <T13> Do those gadgets still load even though the hooks they use don't
exist? Shouldn't having VE enabled disable those gadgets and grey out the
optiobs for them in the gadgets tab of preferences?
[15:56] <T13> I'm guessing some of the "VE" bugs are caused by these gadgets
trying to do what they no longer can.
...
[16:06] <mooeypoo> T13: I think most of the edit-related gadgets work on the
action=edit condition, and ve goes with action=vedit
[16:07] <mooeypoo> but I am not sure :) you'll be safer getting the answer from
the VE team
[16:09] <MatmaRex> T13: i'm not on the team, but i'm pretty sure that's the
reason
[16:10] <MatmaRex> T13: basically there are two ways to detect if we're inedit
mode - either look if 'action' is 'edit' or 'submit', or look for some elements
that are parts of theedit form, like #wpTextbox1 (the main textbox)
[16:10] <MatmaRex> VE avoids them both
[16:11] <T13> I've seen questions on WP:THQ with a link to a screenshot of
wikEd and the user thinking they were using VE. So, I was curious how it was
handled.
[16:11] <T13> I'll add the suggestion to gray out the unusable with VE gadgets
[16:11] <mooeypoo> Ah, *that* kind of user errors. Hm. Not sure how you can
handle those other than politely correct the user's false assumption
[16:11] <T13> On Bugzilla...
