jimhenry Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I think I am in the group that should have upload permissions for the Wiki. I don't seem to be able to upload though. I am able to go through the motions and it looks like the upload occurs. I just don't find what I've uploaded after it is done. Stryd tried uploading for me a few months ago and he couldn't do it either. So maybe this is a bump of an issue that was previously sent in a private message. I'm trying to upload Assembling_a_MIDIbox_Core.pdf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This N°9 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I try to document my midi-mapper on the wiki, and would also loveto be able to upload files myself. Is this possible or do I have to use the magic email-address? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 You're in the programmer group, I think you have write access already - did you try it?Anyway what's wrong with the magic email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This N°9 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 You're in the programmer group, I think you have write access already - did you try it?yes, I tried with both firefox 2/3. the upload form should show up underneath the files on the right sidein the Media-Files window, right?Anyway what's wrong with the magic email?since I'am a child, I have a pathologically need to be as autonomious as possible.. :)no, just a joke, I simply would love if I could upload the stuff myself. What do I doif the magick email-address is sleeping, and I feel a burning desire to add/change somepics for my project documentation?I will upload no porn stuff, I promise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Yeh that's right... I guess it's frequent writers that have the access...What do I do if the magick email-address is sleepingWait for me to wake up, and send me a message if there's a big rush for some reason :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This N°9 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Yeh that's right... I guess it's frequent writers that have the access...hmm.. is frequent writer the next level after "member" ???ok, I'll use the magic mail, if there is some way to give the programmer group upload access,I would be even happier :D :D :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This N°9 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 @ stryd_one:I tried to use the magic email address (last night), did you receive something, or did the mail got lost somewhere? no need to hurry, I just wondered.

stryd_one Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Yeh mate I got it. I was chatting with someone who was about to send their files also, so I was just waiting on those, so I can do them all at once. They'll be up, later today :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This N°9 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 @ stryd_one:They'll be up, later todayoh shit man, for you it's later moring now, right? 10 hours before me, have to keep this in mind.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This N°9 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 They'll be up, later todayok, this seems not to work. won't it be easier for everbody if you just give write access to people who need to upload files?quote by narwhal:It's a shame that it relies on human interaction.

stryd_one Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 It works just fine, you're just being impatient. It normally doesn't take this long, usually they're up within an hour or two, there have been extenuating circumstances. I'm too busy to explain now, but I'll come back soon.You'd have to wait for Twin-X to add your permissions anyway, so either way, it will require human interaction. Just, sometimes we get busy...

This N°9 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 It works just fine, you're just being impatientI wouldnt' have mentioned this if I was the only one who has criticts to this way of uploading stuff. That's why I quoted narwhal. You'd have to wait for Twin-X to add your permissions anyway, so either way, it will require human interaction. Just, sometimes we get busy...Fact is that you never said a thing like "Twin-X will give you write permission, until then use the email". You just ignored my request to gain write permission.

stryd_one Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I wouldnt' have mentioned this if I was the only one who has criticts to this way of uploading stuff. That's why I quoted narwhal. You're both being impatient. The thing to realise here, is that nobody posts here when they come to me in the chatroom and I upload the files within 5 minutes, nobody comments on the current solution when it works. Fact is that you never said a thing like "Twin-X will give you write permission, until then use the email". You just ignored my request to gain write permission.I didn't want to imply that either, that is not the plan.Write perms on the wiki are, at present, granted by adding users into the 'Frequent Writers' group. This doesn't just give you access to upload files to the wiki, but some other things. It's a tricky situation, because while it makes perfect sense to give upload perms on the wiki to a guy who is working hard at it like you are, it may not make sense to apply the other permissions which are granted by making you a member of this group.What I was implying when I mentioned twinnie, is that there will always be a degree of human interaction required to grant write access to the wiki. Whether that human interaction is twin-x adding you to the group, or whether it is me uploading the files for you, it's still possible that sometimes either one of us will have unexpected troubles in our personal life which will prevent us from doing that straight away. So, sometimes if you are unlucky, it will take me two or three days to find time to upload the files, sometimes if you are unlucky it might take twin-x two or three days to add you to the group, etc... that is speaking hypothetically, because adding someone to that group is by invitation only, not by request, and also because twinnie is pretty busy with maintaining this website in his sapre time, which is why we have this email address to prevent him from having extra workload of adding and removing people to the wiki permissions.Also, I'm not the only one who can upload for you - anyone who is a 'frequent writer' can do it - I've setup the gmail address to make it easy for people to contact us, but at present, I'm the only one who monitors the emails. It's the down-side of a volunteer-based support arrangement like we have here, that we don't all have as much time to give to midibox as we would like :(I'm sorry I ignored your request for write access, but it is because I didn't want to offend you by saying that adding you to the group would not be possible until you are invited, and that is unlikely as you're kinda new...But yeh, long story short, normally I am pretty quick to upload... Just, sometimes, it f*** up, and I apologise for the inconvenience, but I'm doing all I can...Annnnd damnit my on-call phone just rang, so now I have to dial in to work and there will be more delays.

stryd_one Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Stupid work. Who needs money anyway... oh wait.... nevermind...OK I'm back, and I'm doing it NOW!Sorry! I really am trying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This N°9 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 thanks for uploading, I find the files now!but why this weird path ':root:community:this:midi_mapper' ? the 'root' I mentioned in the mail was thought to be the [root], means really the root of all the wiki-files.. anyway, you may have good reasons to have done it like this. thanks again for uploading.Stupid work. Who needs money anyway...how nice would it be to do the things that you really like (and I think this implies that you do them well), and as a 'side effect' get money from it!

stryd_one Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 All done, and some extra to follow up on your other post. great stuff man. Sorry for the wait!Edit: I put the root namespace there because of your other post... perhaps I misunderstood...We should continue this conversation over in that thread... (or the chatroom!)

This N°9 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Just read your other posts in the namespace-thread. I'll post my comment to the file-namespaces there:http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,12537.0.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This N°9 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 thanks a lot. upload works, I also can create new namespaces.should the group 10 also have delete perms? currently I cant delete files. No reallyneed for that, but it would help to clean up uploaded stuff that is not needed no more (saves also server-space). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 In the meantime, I'll delete for you (immediately, no waiting) ... Come to the chatroom mate :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
