Garry's Mod Wiki Discussion

[MrGregsWorld]

( I don't know if this has already been brought up. )

Perhaps a way to better submit and edit/update tutorials brought to the wiki. A majority of the old ones had been broken in the updates and people[New Lua Coders] had been getting confused on what brought it. I would find it useful on the fact that I post Lua tutorials, and this could allow for more people to learn from it and get more an understanding of the code.
...
Or they just copy/paste the code, change one line and say it's their own.

Either way it would be cool.

[B]PS:[/B] Nice job with the hooks; Lovin' the new wiki design too!

Is there a reason behind the statistics pages being disabled? e.g. the helpful lists like:

[QUOTE=garry;39763057]Couple of updates.. I made the sidebar be out straight away when the page loads.. instead of coming out after it loads.

I added hooks to the sidebar and converted all the old hook pages over to the new system..

garrysmod.css:270

BODY.withnav #searchInput 
{
	width: 180px !important;
	border: 1px solid #000 !important;
}

Replace 180 with 160 so the search bar doesn't overlap the container.

Looks much better in my opinion.

Could you increase the cookie expiry time on the sidebar? Maybe to something endless? :v:

[nick_9_8]

If that sidebar slides when expanding/hiding, it would match the rest of the slick look.

Right now the sidebar makes the rest feel bulky.

[garry]

Hide it then?

I fixed the hook pages not showing 'edit with form', and converted the entity, panel and weapon hooks over to it.

[nick_9_8]

Nooo. You've misunderstood me. I'm saying in the process of hiding/ expanding it, the sidebar should slide off the page rather than just snap.

[>>oubliet]

I don't want to bring this up again, but the page really hangs when you type the first few letters of what you're searching for. When you add the hooks and other things it will be even slower. And I've got a fairly fast computer running chrome, with a slow computer and IE this would probably be close to unusable.

While looking snazzy is always nice, that would mean I would waste valuable milliseconds of time when searching, which is bad.

Yeah I'm gonna look into doing it a better way. I didn't respond the first time because of the smug report factor.

Well I had thought it'd be better to post solutions rather than problems and w3schools referred to the function as a asynchronous timer.

Looks a lot more professional, is easier to read and suits a scripting development wiki much better.

You never replied when I asked if it was okay to continue discussing the font so I hope this is okay, I'll stop if you want.

In the end don't you think we'll have multiple themes to chose from?

[Drakehawke]

[QUOTE=Ice Tea;39773197]In the end don't you think we'll have multiple themes to chose from?[/QUOTE]

Seeing as garry went out of his way to remove the ability to change the theme back to the original, nope.

I'm fine with the fonts, just a little less curly would be nice for the top part.

Can you add a field for additional notes in the template/form?

[James0roll]

Could someone please add a page with all of the HUD elements?

Repost from development subboard

[b][REQ][WIKI] Define unnecessary parameters[/b]

In the wiki, I think at the create a function/edit a function page when adding/editing an argument, you should be able to define it as required or not.

[b][BUG][WIKI] Can't expand sidebar item when searching[/b]

I felt it was more appropriate to post here then somewhere else- if I am incorrect please move it/pm me.

If you're on the wiki and you search for an item, you cannot expand a subcategory, but if you click on it and cancel the search, it is expanded.

This is an annoying issue as when someone is looking through libraries it is much easier to search for a subcat and expand it then it is looking through every one.

[b][BUG][WIKI] Additional Text field has bad indentations[/b]

[IMG]http://gyazo.com/7d2a9d463ef0452a21542dd7c5b79155.png[/IMG]

The text below the example is in the Additional Text field... it makes it appear as if it is notes for the example when its not.

It would be nice if you gave it a heading.

[garry]

You can define defaults for the parameters - if that's filled in then it's assume that it is optional.

The text at the bottom shouldn't be there. It should be in the description.

[editline]3rd March 2013[/editline]

[img]http://puu.sh/2bjcp[/img]

Makes more sense I think?

Everything should be in the function hook. `Additional Informations` shouldn't be needed - the description should describe usage, caveats, everything.

I'm getting Bad Gateway on nearly every page.

Alright, I'll do that instead.
-- Good you made arg desc a textarea.

[editline]3rd March 2013[/editline]

Yeah that looks much better.

[garry]

Did some tweaking, should be a quite a bit faster now. The function list stuff is still slowing loading down a tad - I'll fix that this coming week.

Ajax load the function lists
