Extension talk:CategoryTree/LQT Archive 1

It would be nice to add an option to sort articles by first letter in article name, or to bypass sorting by surname in articles about people. --Sasa Stefanovic 15:49, 1 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

"sorting by surname" is actually sorting by the sort key that is explicitely provided when the page is placed in the category. That's what category listings are sorted by. I'll think about adding sort options for the <category> tag and the special page - the view on the category pages will probably stay as it is. -- Duesentrieb 21:35, 1 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Duesentrieb. Kooma translated the new MediaWiki messages in Finnish Wikipedia and I made a php file from them. Should I paste this file to User:Duesentrieb/CategoryTree-fi, so that translations would be included into MediaWiki? --Hartz 13:49, 1 September 2006 (UTC) copied from my talk page -- 17:59, 1 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Cool! Hm, the language files under User:Duesentrieb/CategoryTree-xx are for the external tool, that's a bit different... please look at the i18n files in the repository and make a patch/file from that. -- Duesentrieb 17:58, 1 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

First, congratulations for your integration into MediaWiki of CategoryTree, it's very useful and funny :-) ! In the french Village Pump, somebody has proposed to place an option in the preferences to choose between the alphabetical list and the tree. Else I request a new message to differentiate the message nothing found when no subcategory is founded or no parent category is founded, so we could write no parent category founded and no subcategory founded. I ask this here but perhaps it would be in a better place on bugzilla. Best Regards and Congratulations :) ~ Seb35 16:52, 1 September 2006 (UTC) copied from my talk page -- 17:59, 1 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

a new user option would be nice i guess, but afaik there's no clean way for extensions to put something into on preferences page. Maybe the selection could just "stick" once a user has made it? I'll think of something, not sure what yet.

An extra message for the parent categories also needs at least a third message for "no subcategory or page", in case pages are included in the tree. On the other hand, parent categories are shown only on the special page - which is kind of redundant anyway. Maybe i'll turn it off in the future.

I'll look into getting CategoryTree set up as a "product" in Bugzilla. -- Duesentrieb 18:09, 1 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
