User:Aeric/Copyright Notices

From AgileApps Support Wiki

Notes

General:

  • LJ Copyright range is 2003-current
  • AA copyright range is 2013-current
  • In the LJ wikis, the plan is to show "Copyright and Legal Notices" in the footer for LJ, AT&T and ISV skins.
    That text will link to the Copyrights page. (Awaiting approval.)

Javadocs:

  • Cannot regenerate LJ javadocs, due to new and removed APIs.
    Need to do a global search & replace to fix them.
  • In consequence, any time an LJ wiki is created in a new year, the global search & replace needs to be performed.
  • In the LJ Javadoc footers:
  • The link could point to the copyrights page in the current wiki version (AA or LJ), but it would take a 8.1 user, say, to the 10.0 wiki. Searching from there would lead to the wrong material.
  • The link could point to the copyright in the corresponding version of the wiki, but it's harder to keep up to date, and is one more thing to get correct each time a LJ wiki is released in a new year. (Something that is highly likely to happen to give new features to ISVs.)
  • THE ONLY VIABLE OPTION: The copyright link points directly to http://documentation/softwareag.com/legal

  • Fix needed to activate 81 lj skin:
BOGUS ERROR:
The problem was that My Preferences > Skin was set to use the custom skin.
(Sadly, there does not seem to be a setting that says, "None of the above. Use the default.")
  • Additional fixes to activate footers in ATT & ISV skins
Problem:
Footer-list code was included in an HTML comment-block
Solution: Moved HTML end-comment from after footer list (</ul>) to before start (<ul>)
Problem:
Files saved in BeyondCompare were in some format that had CR with no LF.
When read as a PHP script, the line that set the footer was attached to the comment line above.
Solution: Open in NotePad++ and fix Line Endings (Edit > EOL Conversion > Unix format)

AA WIKIs

LocalSettings.php
Add:
$YEAR = date('Y');
line 139:
$wgRightsPage = "Copyrights"; # Title of a wiki page that describes licenses and copyrights
$wgRightsUrl = "";            # -OR- Title of an external URL that does the same

LJ WIKIs

LocalSettings.php (line 139)
$wgRightsPage = "Copyrights"; # Title of a wiki page that describes licenses and copyrights
$wgRightsUrl = "";            # -OR- Title of an external URL that does the same
$wgRightsText = "Copyright and Legal Notices"; # Text of the link created for the above

Skins

  • skins/lj7MonoBook.php, line 345
  • skins/ATT.php, line 655
  • skins/IsvMonoBook.php, line 547
//Generate additional footer links
// removed  'numberofwatchingusers', 'credits', 'privacy', 'about', 'tagline'
$footerlinks = array('copyright', 'lastmod', 'viewcount');
Notes:
  • Conditional tests for skin-names don't work inside MediaWiki:Copyright
  • Template transclusions DO work, but conditional tests inside those templates do NOT work
  • Solution: The logo is at the top of the page, so use "Copyright and Legal Notices" for LJ, ATT, and ISV skins
