I'm pleased to announce that the Moodle Docs MediaWiki has been upgraded to version 1.35.3. It was a big upgrade, bringing lots of new features!
If you notice anything which is not quite right since the upgrade, please let us know by replying to this discussion.
So, the solution would be to mass replace the new syntaxhilight tags for the old code ones. However, I seem to recall that there are some instances of just and also some snippets of PHP code on the page as well as all the SQL code.
Is there a safe way to do this?
Attached is how that looks with the new from this example: https://docs.moodle.org/311/en/ad-hoc_contributed_reports#All_Private_Files_by_User
I changed a handful of the queries on the page to see how they look and this change fixes both the issues I reported. And it looks much, much better than the old style as well.
The Finnish site (https://docs.moodle.org/3x/fi/) has at least three problems.
1) Right column was shown in the begin of a page (not on the right). I had to remove the following part from all templates to make it work again.
Thanks everyone for reporting things which need fixing.
Randy, as you figured out, the code tags need changing to use syntaxhighlight. David has been fixing them with a bulk search and replace (MDLSITE-6542).
L, re. 2) we've noticed this problem in the dev docs. It's reported as MDLSITE-6543 and I expect a solution will be provided soon.
Good question re. instructions for the new version! I'll try and come up with a checklist.
Many thanks for your help Randy, also to L, German and others helping fix things in the different language wikis. Once we have everything fixed, we'll be able to enjoy all the new features in the upgraded wikis!
As promised, here's a checklist:
class="nicetable" with class="wikitable"I've done 1. for most wikis, though feel free to make changes. Thanks again to everyone for helping and let me know if you'd like me to help with anything.
Thanks Séverin for your suggestion which I have reported as MDLSITE-6551.
Update: Search and replace of class="nicetable" with class="wikitable" is now done, with thanks to David Mudrak.
Hi Helen!
I am currently writing the documentation for my recently approved "Random select answers question type" plugin. In the new MediaWiki version, for the 3rd-party question types, there seems to be a conflict between 2 blocks which should both appear in the column on the right.
They are the {{Questions}} block and the {{Infobox plugin...} block.
In almost all of the existing 3rd-party question types doc, the doc page first displays the long list of core question types, followed by the relevant documentation for the current question type, which I find rather confusing for the visitor.
If one places the {{Questions}} block before the {{Infobox plugin...} block, it goes to the column on the right, and the {{Infobox plugin...} block remains in the main column, at the top, which IMHO looks better.
Actually, I feel one could to without the {{Questions}} block altogether, since users arriving on a particular 3rd-party question type page are first of all interested in its documentation, not in links to core question types.
What do you think?
Hi Joseph,
Apologies for not replying before now. I agree with you that documentation for 3rd-party question types such as the Random select answers question type can do without the Questions block. Thanks for providing great documentation for your plugin.
