User:Jack Phoenix/GSoC 2014/Week 29

July 14

• General cleanup and RequestContext-ification, as per code review. (gerrit:146258)

July 15

• Worked on moving some of wikiHow's skin-specific PHP core hacks to the skin, and had to learn how LESS works because this is one of those situations where using LESS makes a lot of sense. Nothing to commit yet.

July 16

• Got my old social tools development instance (at http://social-tools.wmflabs.org/) back online, thanks to Andrew Bogott, who resolved bug #67545
  • Updated MediaWiki core from 1.22alpha to 1.24alpha, thanks legoktm!
  • Added BlueSky to the Labs wiki for testing.
  • Discovered several issues with it on 1.24alpha/master, of which the most critical (see below) I was able to fix right away. The skin's main JS file is broken, because $.browser is undefined (!) in whatever version of jQuery 1.24alpha "ships" with.
• Use accessor function for accessing OutputPage::$mCategoryLinks as it's a protected property in MW 1.24/master. (gerrit:147002)

July 17

• Fix fatal by making getCount() non-static. (gerrit:147080)
• Use $.client instead of $.browser. (gerrit:147081)
• These two messages need to be parsed as wikitext. (gerrit:147082)

July 18

• The skin is now live on my Labs testing wiki, which is currently running 1.24alpha

July 19

• Worked on the various LESS hacks some more. Still not polished enough to be committed.

July 20

• Fix invalid special page name. (gerrit:147851)
