Would you be interested in Mentoring me?
Hi Afker,

I was hoping that you might be interested in mentoring me (Nipponster Japan Project).

Let me know. Cheers, Tori (Toritaiyo 02:44, 23 October 2007 (UTC))

WikiSwitch/QuartzSwitch
^_^ Afker, I thought you'd be interested in a new thing I've got mostly completed... I'm working on the QuartzSwitch system in Quartz to replace the WikiSwitch system in MonoBook... I only spent about 2 days on this, and so far nearly every fancy feature except the linking and tools stuff that is already done in WikiSwitch and just needs migration, is complete. (Including the automatic scrolling ^_^)

This was the old WikiSwitch, and this is the new QuartzSwitch.

I've improved many things over the old version...
 * There's a 250px height limit, and it automatically scrolls to avoid the list going over the screen edge. (The auto-scrolling is actually well done... There's a good no-scroll area, and scrolling is exponential so you can speed up the scrolling to good speeds and also scroll as slowly as you need)
 * The placement of the new menu fits in better than it does in MonoBook, and unlike WikiSwitch it stays in the same location.
 * Rather than giving sub menus for each wiki causing issues for users trying to open multiple links, QuartzSwitch instead has a options panel on the left with radio boxes to select the modes. Then as long as I tweak the conditions the menu should disappear, someone can easily click on multiple links with CTRL(in FF) to open a bunch of tabs... That's possible in WikiSwitch, but it's not easy when you are using the extra modes...
 * ^_^ But the absolute best thing... It has no Portlet dependency and instead uses the YUI that the Quartz skins use, so you can throw the code in your global.js and have it work everywhere.

Thought you might be interested... Since it will actually work correctly, you might even consider using it to get around multiple wiki... (Trust me, its about 1000x better than using Bookmarks). ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Oct 20, 2007 @ 10:44 (UTC)
