User talk:Ague

Is this thing on?
I'm finding the use of a talk page to be very awkward, is this essentially the messaging system for the wiki? And, am I doing it right?

I did upload the image Smallblade level 16 Tier 3 as you requested, and think I got the file size right (Paint is tough to get the size precise on - unless there is a trick there too, probably is).

Anyways, I would like to take a crack at making the page, and you suggested that once I got the file uploaded that you'd be willing to help me get it together. How do we talk about that, through this user talk thingy?

Also, I really hate captcha, I often can't get it. I sure hope there is a way to send messages without having to guess at hard to read letters.

Thanks,

 * Sirgleno, unfortunately the only way around the captcha is to become a DDOWiki VIP. You basically have to make over 100 edits to become a VIP.  Full details can be found here.  And I encourage you to go ahead and create the page.  We can talk through things that need to be altered, formatting, templates, and such on the talk page of the Smallblade.  Sound like a plan?

 * Image uploads count towards your edit count as well. There are also many administrators and senior editors that are more than willing to help... Just ask... As a side-note, do you have a  transcluded someplace on this page, it is annoying to have to scroll through the entire this when I just want to make a comment on one section.  -- ShoeMaker (Contributions &bull; Message) 20:27, April 30, 2012 (EDT)


 * Yeah, the is transcluded in YOUR Welcome template, Tech...  Sheesh...

PHP parser

I've played around all day and mostly figured out how to parse the xml apiresponses from data.ddo.com, but I still am not 100% clear on how to parse the information I want from the MyDDO html pages. Do I simply use  $html = file_get_html('http://my.ddo.com/ /character/ ')  followed up by  foreach($html->find('div') as $element) { ? Could I possibly get you to send me a snippet of your parsing php to examine and play with to see if I can make it work they way I want? If so, that would be great, if not I would still be grateful for any pointers you can give. }}

CSS definition order

 * I created a test environment and did some testing of the css extension.
 * It seems that the styles injected on the page ( either at the element level or with the css extension ) can not be overwritten by and user means ( User:common.css or User:common.js ).
 * Are you aware of any method that can be used to isolate css attributes to their respective pages, but still allow users to customize the appearance?
 * Check out CSS test page, attributes defined on page do not get overwritten by what i've defined in User:Joenuts/common.css. Remove inline attributes and what was defined in joenuts/common.css takes over. Remove what was defined in Joenuts/common.css and mediawiki:common.css takes over.

 * First thing I would do is (temporarily, for testing purposes) change the class names on your test site. the common.css files are likely overwriting the css tags for whatever reason.  remember, the purpose of the css tags is to inject css into the head of the document where it's acceptable to define classes.  once you do that, you will be able to have a level testing ground.  let me know how it goes.
