Regex and JS woes

Hi, I am trying to sort out the code for the registration page (moving it to registration.php so I don't have to delve into the Wiki source and potentially break things). One thing I am trying to do is to check to see if the email address is a valid DnUK/Ausdocs/NHS.net one. Having never done anything in JS before, and never having used Regexes before I've confused myself a bit. Does this look OK to you?

var DnOrgUKsyntax = /^[a-zA-Z0-9._ -]/i+/@doctors.org.uk$/;

var DnNetUKsyntax = /^[a-zA-Z0-9._ -]/i+/@doctors.net.uk$/;

var Ausdocsyntax = /^[a-zA-Z0-9._ -]/i+/@ausdoctors$/;

var NHSnetsyntax = /^[a-zA-Z0-9._ -]/i+/@nhs.net$/;

if (document.userlogin.wpEmail.value.match(DnOrgUKsyntax) || document.userlogin.wpEmail.value.match(DnNetUKsyntax) || document.userlogin.wpEmail.value.match(Ausdocsyntax) || document.userlogin.wpEmail.value.match(NHSnetsyntax)) {

//the rest of the code here...

}

else {

//And here...

}

a) I don't know if the regexes work to do *@doctors.org.uk etc

b) I think my JS is flaky.

Help! --A.l.brown 14:27, 21 November 2005 (CET)

I think I've worked it out: /^[a-zA-Z0-9._ ]+@doctors.org.uk$/;

--A.l.brown 15:41, 21 November 2005 (CET)

That looks right... (I am so much not an authority on regex, alas)Midgley 18:29, 21 November 2005 (CET)

What is ganfyd or a wiki and how to use them

User_talk:Midgley/whatisandhow

syntax

#REDIRECT [[Pulmonary embolus]]

InterestBox

{{InterestBox|blah blah}}

and

QuotationBox BiteBox for the top of pages rather than indenting.

Medical statistics category

I'd already created a Statistics category. Do you think it would be a good idea to use a single category, rather than have two such similar ones? I'll change all the "Statistics" pages to "Medical statistics" if you like...

Better to stick with statistics. Midgley 16:50, 15 December 2005 (CET)

Just to let you know, on the off-chance you didn't know already - you don't need to put underscores instead of spaces in links, as spaces are automatically converted to underscores in the links. [[Pulmonary_embolus]] can be written as [[pulmonary embolus]] The first letter is also automatically capitalised in the link, so you can begin your link with a capital letter or not as appropriate. Rupert 11:12, 1 January 2006 (CET)

Honcode

Need to declare we do not take adverts or receive undisclosed funding.

Done, at Ganfyd:Site support --A.l.brown 17:23, 10 January 2006 (CET)

Need to post a policy on privacy of medical information.

Year Page Arithmetic?

Midgley+1 so that 2005 can include a link to 2006 by adding a template to every year.

Sadly, I don't think this is possible. I wondered how Wikipedia gets around it and their yearbox template just takes the preceeding years as parameters. Rupert 11:52, 21 January 2006 (CET)

it looks non-trivial - whih perhaps means doing it behind the scenes, where it shouldn't be too hard although there is a lot of PHP to wade through before I could claim to understnad MediaWiki. Maybe something with an include run off a different process. Midgley 14:58, 21 January 2006 (CET)

I never realised quite how complicated it was, until I tried to have the RSS feed display coloured diffs. Writing extensions though is easy, thankfully. I'll see what I can cobble together. Rupert 21:52, 22 January 2006 (CET)

Search

You mentioned that searching wasn't intuitive for the uninitiated. I've tinkered with the CSS ( /skins/monobook/main.css ). Moving the search bar elsewhere would be a major CSS headache as everything on the page is positioned using CSS & absolute co-ordinates.

Does it look more noticable now it is pink, or is it just distracting/sickly? Maybe using the same hues in blue would be better?

--A.l.brown 16:59, 9 February 2006 (CET)

I couldn't stand the pink, it was doing my head in, so I've changed it to blue. I still think it is noticable. --A.l.brown 18:20, 9 February 2006 (CET)

Noinclude tags on templates

Adrian. Thanks I knew this. Have a look at Evidence-based medicine to see where I have got to. I thought no include was best to remove Categories etc ...certainly all the evidenced base templates could be categorised by some one, sometime...off to do something else now. Had some fun seeing if I could do complex case and switch tags on this wiki as I had thought it would make CERM system more workable -it would not have ! Mlj 23:54, 11 February 2006 (CET)

Applied Pedanticism

Pedantry is the word you are looking for!

Precisely.

Contraversial

Howabout Category: Controversial

PS what is your thought on {{SubjectBox|}} template I made up while you were enjoying a holiday. (mine is next week) Mlj 00:00, 25 May 2006 (BST)

Controversial is an over-worked word I think. The template is nice, but I would left justify rather than centre. Perhaps. Midgley 12:06, 25 May 2006 (BST)

History

Interestingly, that template brings this letter of mine up from 2000. Direct link (half way down page). ]Ganfyd looks like the enactment of that new professional obligation I claimed to exist at that time. I had tried to set up a big virtual book of general practice then, but the technology or my command of it was not adequate to the task in the human milieu then existing. Five years later, Adam set it in motion. Midgley 12:10, 25 May 2006 (BST)

I like prescience and am very impressed! Will wait myself for more votes on justification but its trivial to change by anyoneMlj 01:38, 26 May 2006 (BST)

Excellent work Adrian

And of course Adam and Rupert. The database passes the tests I have thrown at it. It looks like you three have mutual expertise that mere mortals have to marvel at.Mlj 22:21, 2 June 2006 (BST)

That apostrophe

So I just discovered that at least 3 various unicode possiblities for apostrophe have sneaked in especially with eponymous conditions. Do you think that those that depreciate use of eponym's have a point ! I suspect Microsoft Word is to blame for some of the worst corruption as it seems to do internal type setting translations as I tried to track down why the name for Huntington's Chorea was so corrupted! Mlj 23:36, 7 June 2006 (BST)

OK. IIRC there is a mapping table, which might need adjusting so that in the database's index all those apostrophes get indexed as the same. Alternatively or as well we could run a periodic job to regularise them in the tables. I've not got into the internal structure of the databse, thus far, but there is probably a fix somewhere that someone else has worked out. The other thing to do would be to consider whether we should adopt the US convention which is to abandon the posessive and speak of Huntingdon Chorea. I'm undecided on that, if the other Commonwealth nations do it that way then I think that would make a difference. Midgley 09:39, 8 June 2006 (BST)

Aha! We know that, they do[4]. Shall we drag the UK into line? Midgley 09:58, 8 June 2006 (BST)

Backup

Thanks for your email. I've been working on backups this afternoon. Could you email me your phone number so that I could have a chat to you about connecting to your server? —Rupert (Talk) 18:15, 14 October 2006 (BST)

Sysadmin stuff

I've run the apt-get update ;apt-get dist-upgrade sequence - there were a few updates that were due. Nice fast connection we have there although I suppose much of Debian is proxied. I have a Sarge server with very similar backports packages (eg MySQL 5.0) so if that doesn't throw a wobbly with an update I'd expect Ganfyd won't either. I doubt we are actually short of backup space, but we probably ought to tidy up some of the installation files that are still around, so they are not in the /var/wikis tree. Midgley 13:52, 15 October 2006 (BST)

Favicon replaced. Some files may still have odd ownership, and that may affect them being served up by Apache. Robots.txt needs writing, I've put in a zero-sized one. Midgley 13:59, 15 October 2006 (BST)

Talk pages

Thanks for the welcome. Is this how we communicate on Ganfyd, through these talk pages? Apologies if it's not!—MadDoc (Talk) 17:58, 10 November 2006 (GMT)

Yes, generally at the bottom - click the + on the tab right of Edit. Just like WP. Midgley 18:13, 10 November 2006 (GMT)

"click the + on the tab right of Edit" - I never noticed that! All this time I have been manually typing in &section=new to achieve the same result. —Rupert (Talk) 19:51, 10 November 2006 (GMT)

Thanks about + . I'd been wondering how to do that!

Distal tubules

I've gone a bit mad, trying to write about nephrons. Am now power crazed and going to redirect your distal tubules to nephron as I've got all the material there... start tinkering with one thing and then you end up rewriting/redirecting for hours! Hope you don't mind Jamestaylor 21:17, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Dear Adam, Penglish, mlj and Midgley,

I'm writing to you all with my 'RUK editorial' hat on. RUK is the journal of RemedyUK, and has a circulation of around 2000 copies atm. I am hoping to write a piece about medical wikis, especially ganfyd.org, following last months mention of the US site, medpedia. I would be grateful if any of you would be willing to take part in an email interview, asking a few questions about ganfyd.org, your involvement, and how you think medical wikis will influence the medical profession.

If you would be happy to take part, please email me, fishgoth at gmail.com

Best wishes,

Fishy aka Stephen O'Hanlon

Testing out your link to the blog. Might be a name server problem, but clicking on link to blog gives me 77.92.80.174/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi (which doesn't work) rather than http://77.100.103.108/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi (which does). Also, a few broken links from your web-site:

• link to blog from main page
• link to 'on the bike'
• link to brief CV.
• link to 'on pgp'

Yes, nameserver problem somewhere - I suspect excess cleverness by the DNS in my host - and the whole thing needs overhauling. Midgley 17:27, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

root access

Seeing as you seem to have access to the (?virtual) server, there are two things (mentioned on Main Talk page) which I imagine are fairly trivial to sort out:

1. upload of sound files
2. upload of favicon icon Mark ong 17:58, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Favicon is odd, there are some things about the layout that seem particular to this installation, and despite passing lots of copies of it around I've not made it i appear, yet. Sounds I'll have a look at. Midgley 18:07, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
