Individual configurations/preferences

[wikipedia-mabdul]

e.g.: auto turn on of the teahouse invitation, watchlisting (and related checkboxes, etc.)

Similar to TWINKLE or however "you" want to implement it. Original development failed on loading the correct page. But that doesn't seem to be a problem any more (with the AutoEd integration and so on...)

https://github.com/azatoth/twinkle/blob/e7cbab4f8b205a10500f3d95033a23d79e2778cc/modules/twinkleconfig.js is a reference point. I can work on this once more pressing issues are dealt with.

Ideas for preferences (everyone, feel free add to this list)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Keyboard_shortcuts#List_of_access_keys is the complete enwp list.

I went through with Opera 12.16 and made a similar list (which I sorted and tried multiple pages and settings so some letters are redundant) for enwp...

Twinkle stores stuff on a User:Foo/twinkleoptions.js, but I think it would be better to use action=options. Then reading is as simple as mw.user.options.get('user-afch-prefname').

We just need an interface for editing and viewing prefs then.

I was actually just looking at that section of the API the other day in regards to an idea about being able to toggle gadgets for Equazcion's "scriptInstaller" script. He doesn't want to complicate his script with such extra functions, but I agree that it is a good idea to use this as @legoktm suggests.

[wikipedia-mabdul]

just curious: this API is available for every developer to add, remove and modify ANY preferences, even the "not standard stuff"? (so we are allowed to add new stuff?)

[legoktm]

Yes. We can add any preference value that we can come up with.

[theopolisme]

So could we use something like mw.user.options.get('userjs-afch') and store a json encoded dictionary of settings? Looking at the docs it seems like that would be possible...

[legoktm]

Yuuuuuup! :D

[theopolisme]

Awesome!

[theopolisme]

Going to work on this.

Good start on the framework @theopolisme :07] <+T13|needsCoffee> Setting the preference is one thing, making them do something will probably be what takes a little work. [12:07] <+T13|needsCoffee> How do we want to handle that? [12:08] <+T13|needsCoffee> Do we want to pull their user preferences at the script load or just pull them as needed from the mw globals? [12:08] Quit: theopolisme [Remote host closed the connection] Can you set up some jspref tests and I'll run my 8-10 different browsers through to see which is fastest?

[theopolisme]

I've already got it set up...by framework I meant both storing and getting...all the preferences are put into a global.

• example at top of prefs.js:
  • https://github.com/WPAFC/afch/blob/feature-prefs/src/prefs.js#L6: afcHelper_preferences.prefname
• example in the code of setting the edit summary
  • https://github.com/WPAFC/afch/blob/feature-prefs/src/core.js#L33: var afcHelper_advert = ((afcHelper_preferences.summary[0] == ' ') ? '' : ' ') + afcHelper_preferences.summary (the ternary operator is so we add a leading space if one is not already present)

[theopolisme]

Status update:

Significant work on this, you can it out yourself with

importScript("User:Theo's Little Bot/afchprefs/afchelper.js"); // cutting edge man

Prefs can be set at [[WP:AFCH/P]].

Please could this be merged and rolled out to all gadget users who didn't follow advice in this last comment.

[theopolisme]

@Gryllida I've written all of the code necessary to support preferences, but someone needs to actually add the preferences... @wikipedia-mabdul @Technical-13 @hasteur instructions are at the top of the js file iirc.

well if nobody is faster, I will do it over Christmas as I have to set up three windows PCs (they are still stable, but using XP...)
