Topic on Extension talk:Sync

Nice extension! .. Questions:

1. Is google/cloud-translate necessary to install?
2. Would it still work if the wiki had no access to the outside world after installing? (In other words, if I don't want to translate, can I skip/omit the "google/cloud-translate" dependency?)
3. Is Sync just WikiImporter with Google translate support? (In other words, if all I wanted was the sync capability without any language support, would WikiImporter be the right one to use?)
4. Is this extension triggered by edits? or does it need to be run by a cron job or something?

Hi,

google/cloud-translate is not necessary for this to work and you can use it without enabling translate. I need to make this clearer to the documentation.

Sync is currently just wikiImporter but I plan to add live-sync i.e edits triggering sync in the next few days.

I am super excited about that. Please do (live-sync).

I plan to test the extension today. Do you have any configuration guidance for someone implementing this on wikis that are all on the same server? such that they would all have addresses like http://127.0.0.1/wiki_A and http://127.0.0.1/wiki_B.

It uses the API so the addresses look fine.

I have added the live-sync, would be helpful if you can test it out. Do note that it takes a while for the pages to get updated for whatever reasons :/

I'm going to wait until tomorrow when my server team can snapshot my system before I tinker. I'll let you know tomorrow afternoon.

@Nischayn22, sorry for the delay in testing this extension. I'm still super eager to do so, but have not been able to get the dev time.. hoping to be able to test it next week.

Sure, no problem.

@Nischayn22 Can I sync wikis if we have to log in for looking at content of articles?

Hi @AlexeYreshetnyaK, I am not sure what you meant. If you mean to say that one of the wiki is read restricted then I think this can still be done if you provide a login with the right credentials.

@Nischayn22, I'm finally ready to test this extension. will provide feedback soon. Cheers!
