Forum:CreatePage Development

So I've been working with this extension a lot over at the UC Berekeley Wiki and I'm glad to see that there have been some updates since I started using it. Default categories were added which I'll have to try out, very welcome.

Still, I'm holding out for additional features so I figure I'll post here to provide feedback and get updates.

Top priorities for me include:
 * Ability to hide content from users/createpage, like comments or templates.
 * Drop down menus for infoboxes.
 * Ability to hide certain category options from users (technical categories shouldn't be as prominent in my opinion).
 * Support for multiple infoboxes or embedded infoboxes.

I'll add to this later, but yeah, great extension, can't wait till it's finished.

It looks like the default category tag works by parsing the text and allowing for multiple categories with the | tag. I was able to find a workaround for using more complex category sorting by using the | though it doesn't look very nice when it shows up in createpage.

Also, the title tag doesn't seem to really do anything different than the descr tag, really not clear on why it would be useful as it is now.

It would also be nice if the image upload tags took advantage of the spiffy Add Images button interface which is more appealing in my opinion.

 * Aye, fair point - it could be a good idea. 11:42, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Seems like createpage isn't compatible yet with the wiki markup code you can click below the edit window, though you probably already knew that. Also, you might want to redirect the forum link at the bottom of the main CreatePage so that it points here instead of to inside.wikia.com. --Flipside1300 18:53, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
