[edit] Conflict

This is a great tool, but I can't seem to figure out how to use it at the same time as WikEd. I either have the WikEd buttons, or the RefTools toolbar, but I can't get both their buttons onto the page at the same time. Or is there a simple fix that I'm missing? --Elonka 08:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

They both seems to work correctly for me. The cite button is in the normal editing toolbar, wikiEd's toolbar is below. Mr.Z-man 20:44, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, when I have them both enabled (via the Gadgets page), WikEd trumps RefTools. Like right for this post, I have the WikEd toolbars at the top, but the "normal" editing toolbar is completely absent. Do you use the Gadgets page, or do you have the javascript right in the monobook page? --Elonka 00:39, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Actually, looking at it more, the way wikiEd works, even if I can bypass the problem with the button, it still won't work correctly as wikiEd replaces the normal edit window with its own frame. I might eventually make a version that's semi-compatible with wikiEd. Mr.Z-man 20:59, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Location field

Hi, wonderful gadget, will be very useful. One niggle, the location field generates with a capital L (Location, instead of location) and this stops the location shewing up when saved. DuncanHill (talk) 20:11, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Fixed, and added {{cite journal}}. Mr.Z-man 21:09, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Still coming up as a capital L when I try it in my sandbox, and not getting the citejournal either. DuncanHill (talk) 22:29, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Try purging your browser cache, on MediaWiki:Gadget-refToolbar.js if you use it from Gadgets. Mr.Z-man 22:37, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
That fixed it! Thank you :) DuncanHill (talk) 22:42, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Just wanted to add - it really is a very helpful gadget, and makes editing much easier, thanks again. DuncanHill (talk) 21:47, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Toolbar buttons

After using the cite button, none of the other toolbar buttons work. Running the latest FireFox under Windows. I have every editing gadget enabled except WikiEd. --— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 20:07, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Fixed, you'll need to bypass your browser cache of MediaWiki:Gadget-refToolbar.js to see the changes immediately. Mr.Z-man 22:08, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! --— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 22:15, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reformats text

It looks like refToolbar (as a Gadget) reformats all the text in the edit box with hard line breaks after 72 characters. That messes up indenting on talk pages and isn't a good idea on article pages either. I admit to using a very old version of FireFox, but that still shouldn't happen. --Latebird (talk) 04:08, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, I just tested it in FireBird 0.8 and had the same problem. I can't think of any reason that it would do that, besides a bug in the browser's JavaScript interpreter. That's really just bizarre. I have a semi working version in User:Mr.Z-man.sock/monobook.js, it works in FireBird 0.8 and newer versions of Firefox (so I assume it works for everything in between), but not in IE. You can either update your browser (recommended), use the version in User:Mr.Z-man.sock/monobook.js in your Mypage/monobook.js page and/or wait a while for the next update to the gadget, which should, among other things, fix that.

[edit] Gadget not working?

The gadget does not now seem to work. When I click on the "add citation" button, a little drop down box appears, with the names of the templates in it, click on the template I want, and nothing happens. I use Safari 3.1 on WinXP. DuncanHill (talk) 13:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Integration with Cite-o-matic

Hi,

I wonder whether there is potential to integrate this handy tool with one of my own devising (which needs a bit of a facelift!) - see here for details. Could be useful for cite journal at least?

[edit] Named refs

This just keeps getting better. The list of named refs is most excellent. --— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 11:00, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cite news option

Just a minor thing. When I select the news option, I get a cite web template. Kind regards. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:11, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

This was just fixed last night. You may need to bypass your cache of the script. Mr.Z-man 00:11, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Ah, right. Thanks. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 16:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
