==[[Couchwiki:For_different_organizations| For different organisation]]==

[[Couchwiki:For_different_organizations| Here]] a page about using couchwiki for [[BeWelcome]], [[Hospitality Club]], BeLodged, Global Freeloaders, Servas etc...

==Interwiki links==
I'm trying to set up some interwiki links. But there always seems to be a caching issue. So far I've done [[:hitch:|hitch]], [[:trash:|trash]], [[:cs:|cs]] and [[:csgroup:7621|csgroup]], if you want any others, just let me know. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 15:43, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Sharewiki.org please [[User:Matrixpoint|Matrixpoint]] 05:43, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

BW groups please [[User:Midsch|Midsch]] 19:50, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

wikipedia (probably active by default) and wikitravel please --[[User:Metal.lunchbox|Metal.lunchbox]] 20:39, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Wikivoyage would be nice --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 10:20, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

would it be possible to make a page about interwiki in couchwiki (brief explanation and how to use it ?) [[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 01:13, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

:Wikipedia has a [[wikipedia:InterWiki|nice article about interwiki]] :) Of course it could be useful to have [[project:interwiki|an article here as well]], feel free to start it, and note that this wiki is license compatible with Wikipedia, so you can copy parts from the Wikipedia article. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 10:42, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
:: [[project:interwiki| Job done !!!]] [[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 03:27, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Guaka, Are you the only person able to make interwiki links ? If no, how can we do that ? [[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 15:34, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

==Other languages==
There's also a version of [http://couchwiki.org/fr/ Couchwiki in French] now :) The links aren't working properly yet. I'll happily set up other languages if there's enough interest, (especially German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian or Swedish). We just need some people (or even just one person) who is willing to take care of it enough, i.e. put up a front page and check for spam regularly, and ideally make sure there are new articles every week. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 20:27, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

==Feature request: Category sitemap in footer==
If we could find an extension to display a context-sensitive sitemap based on the categories of a page, wouldn't that be awesome? Maybe this could even be done with jquery, so the browser could cache the category information between requests, and it doesn't add up to page size.

(maybe "sitemap" is the wrong term here, because I only want to show related stuff)

I could work on that when I have time.

--[[User:Lemon-head|Lemon-head]] 19:03, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

:Hey. Sure, could be nice. :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23:32, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

== Basic Organization of the wiki ==
Well there are a few pages and enough interest to start talking a little bit about how to organize the wiki. So far there seem to be 3 kinds of pages- location guide pages, pages about the wiki, and other pages. The later two will sort themselves out but the location guides follow an obvious logical hierarchy- World, region, country, (state,province), city, and extra pages attached to one of those levels like "Cycling in Germany" or "100 things to do in.." simple wiki links and templates could keep the pages organized according to the above logic and categories could help enforce it. does everyone pretty much agree on this?

I also want to say that generic categories like "Cities" or "country guides" are not useful and should be avoided. what do you guys think? --[[User:Metal.lunchbox|Metal.lunchbox]] 04:16, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

:Hey Lunchbox! I agree. Feel free to remove those generic categories. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 22:39, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
:: Actually I like a category like Hamburg, as it keeps all Hamburg related stuff together. But obviously it doesn't make sense if there is only one page for a city. BTW: Heavy usage of templates makes everything look the same and clean, but it stops people from editing as it looks complicate at first. [[User:Midsch|Midsch]] 19:52, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

== Shared user accounts and shared images ==
Now you can use your login on the English couchwiki also for the other languages (so far French and Italian). And you can use images that have been uploaded here in other languages as well. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 22:56, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

== It's now possible to directly use images from [[commons:Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]]! ==
Just find the image you want to use and put it here, e.g. <nowiki>[[File:Bandeau_France.png|300px]]</nowiki> for [[File:Bandeau_France.png|300px]] from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bandeau_France.png [[User:Guaka|guaka]] Almost all images on Wikimedia Commons have been checked on copyrights, and it's highly encouraged to use them, and also to upload your own work there and then use it here. :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23:35, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

== Main Page layout ==

The Main Page is getting messy and ugly : [[Mainpagelayoutbikepunk| here]] is a first draft/attempt to make it a bit better.
(I would like to know how to use the "class=" in mediawiki, I didn't find anything ''clear'' with google). What do you think about it ? [[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 22:26, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
:I just moved the new layout to the mainpage, it's much better than before, but off course needs more improvement. Hey, css-gurus! Your turn! And the structure/navigation is also looking for some more improvement! [[User:Midsch|Midsch]] 20:24, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

== Added cheat sheet from wikipedia - compatible licence? ==

I've copied across the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Cheatsheet&action=edit Wikipedia cheat sheet] to [[Help:Editing]]

Also needs a bit of a cleanup as templates in wikipedia aren't always here. --[[Special:Contributions/118.208.108.138|118.208.108.138]] 10th to 20th December 2009 (UTC)

:It's totally fine to copy from Wikipedia, just add a template <nowiki>{{wikipedia}}</nowiki> to indicate that it's copied from Wikipedia. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 16:03, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

== Copy across openid explanation from old plugin ==

@[[User:Guaka|guaka]]: The previous version of the plugin Couchwiki had a better and easier to understand explanation for why OpenID was good. Please recover that explanation and put it in the new plugin.

In a related note is it possible to assume credit for edits done before the plugin became available? --[[User:Daz|daz]] 19:08, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

:Sorry, not on the top of my priorities right now. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23:40, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

== MediaWiki mobile plugin ==

Is there any interest in installing the mobile plugin that is being rapidly developed and used in WikiPedia? I want it but not sure if activity warrants it. On the otherhand this is a travel site so access to it in a mobile friendly format might actually increase activity. --[[User:Daz|daz]] 19:08, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

:Could be nice, link? I'd probably first wanna try it at Hitchwiki though. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23:40, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
:: Not sure? You seem to be more in tune with the wiki community then me. [[User:Daz|Daz]] 15:14, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Daz: Undo revision 3284 by Daz (Talk)

Here's a list of '''tech''' stuff to do. Contact [[User:Guaka|guaka]] if there's an urgent issue.

==todo==
===Bugs to fix===
* RSS for Recent changes, it's impossible to get only the last changes you get everything everytime your reader is downloading the feed (but it's probably a mediawiki bug, I've noticed it elsewhere before) [[User:Midsch|Midsch]] 19:52, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
* when I signed up, I didn't get a registration email, and so can't modify email preferences (I checked spam folder, and resent registration email).
* cs should be couchsurfing, not cesky :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 00:17, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

===features===
* set up downloadable XML dumps
* link to couchsurfing.org instead of .com
* link to bewelcome with bw: and also to hc with hc:
* Whitelist bw, CS, Hosp Club so that annoying ReCaptcha doesn't appear when you link to it. Also perhaps youtube (although since anyone can upload to that spammers might start linking to new ads aon there but YouTube is pretty quick with spam removal? )

==done==
* like hitchwiki:
** single sign-on for different languages
** one image database for all languages
* links to French version
** fixed in database, probably waiting for cache clear or so [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 00:17, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
* upgraded to 1.15.1, slightly simplified setting up other languages [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 00:17, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
* Installed ParserFunctions extension, on DAN°'s request. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 20:53, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
* Set up [[:it:|Italian version]], also DAN°'s request. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 00:18, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
* Fix Google Maps API key. Fixed. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23:57, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
* October 14: problem with time running backwards on server (sic!), fixed. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 13:33, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
* I tried logging in with my Aol Open ID but it say's it's cancelled. I ticked all the boxes except email for the moment. Is there a problem? I also have a twitter/hotmail accounts. I'm not sure I want them all linked though..... --[[Special:Contributions/118.208.189.140|118.208.189.140]] 08:59, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Daz: /* Planned new trip */ for clarity

Rough plan.

== Previous Experience ==
=== Daz & Jesse team ===
* Story bridge to Kurilpa Bridge - Done before in 3 hours 1.25 hours there 1.75 hours back. Tide was partially against us.
* 2009 sometime.
* Last time had 2 kayaks
=== Brisbane CouchSurfing team ===
* Story bridge to Norman Park? (upstream)
* 2009 sometime
* 15 in group
* Comments from group was only basic safety service on river. No guiding/pointing out things or teaching kayaking.
=== Your experiences? ''Please add more'' ===
* Where?
* When?
* How Many?

== Planned new trip ==
* Need list of stores/businesses/people that lend/hire kayaks
** Listing from YellowPages - [http://yellowpages.com.au/search/listingsSearch.do?clue=kayak+hire+places&searchMode=type&bookId=21&stateId=4&areaId=1064&localityId=&headingCode=15571&locationClue=brisbane&locationText=Greater+Brisbane+QLD&userLocation.longitude=&userLocation.latitude=&userLocation.streetNumber=&userLocation.street=&userLocation.suburb=&regionId=&region=australia&sortBy=&lruPageNumber=1&listingPosition=&listingPositionForCurrentPage=&iblId=&showAllCandidates=false&suburbPostcode=&pageNumber=1&currentLetter=&serviceAreaModifiedByUser=false&surroundingSuburbsModifiedByUser=false&serviceArea=false&includeSurroundingSuburbs=false&addressStreetNameNumber=&addressSuburb=&addressState=&rankType=1 Kayak Hire] (29 Results in Metro Brisbane) - Canoe Hire filter only has 2 but others do do kayak hire (not complete). Anaconda is missing.
** Riverlife
** Anaconda - Slack's Creek offering 1/2 price discount to Brisbane Paddler's group. Perhaps will do same for Andesang?
** Roscoe Canoes - Ph. Matt at 3359 9330 - see Andesang Kayak Meetup group
** Do kayak hire shops also rent out a (one size fits all) roof racks? I'll ring tomorrow but just in case you know the answer before I ring ...
*** They do hire out roof racks, not necessarily for each type of car. Have to ring each one I think. --[[User:Daz|daz]] 03:58, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

BNE 3regions oneNight pubcrawl

2010-01-20T03:38:08Z

Daz: /* Dates */

This is an outlandish suggestion probably but let's see how we can make it practical.

In Victoria there's this CS'er called Aaron Schultz. He has a reputation for organizing big number pub crawls attracting a hundred CS'ers and forcing venues to open half an hour earlier then normal. He makes up a google map with a list of off the beat pubs and bars and people move between them. Not everything goes to plan but what ever does?

Let's see if we can beat them - not perhaps by sheer numbers and maybe not even by per capita numbers but by having a greater idea then them. It's all in good fun.

We'd need enough cars/buses to move people 1 hour per location between the 3 locations.

It's fun to people watch when out at the state library of qld surfing the net from the free wifi don't you think?

<strike>If we make it a Christmas type event it will have to be done soon</strike> Changed to after New Year's

It’s important to express interest early and this provides maximum bargaining power with the bar provider's. If they know that they’re certain to get a certain amount of income at a future date then they will be more willing to discount or provide additional services. It’s also my preferred way of interacting – relaxed win win propositions. Yes we can as a group wait till last minute and demand a cheaper price but that’s not likely to mean a good will long term relationship with the provider.

A number of other clubs I'm involved with have gotten half price drinks. To merge it with the Couchsurfing ethos perhaps we could ask for custom world music from around the world? Or even allow us as an online group to have photos of various exotic locations there.

Perhaps get projector's in? Laptops with USB sticks?

Which bot did I do? [[User:Azarethroy|Azarethroy]] 12:51, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
:Haha, oops! [[User:Azarethroy|Azarethroy]] 13:24, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

That's awesome. I've been toying with it. And I just noticed you installed VideoFlash -> [[Free Hugs Campaign]] :) [[User:Azarethroy|Azarethroy]] 22:48, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm not getting my confirmation email. Does the wiki have permission to send emails? --[[User:Metal.lunchbox|Metal.lunchbox]] 20:56, 20 October 2009 (UTC)--[[User:Metal.lunchbox|Metal.lunchbox]] 20:56, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

:Just quickly fixed something in my mail servers. Should be better now. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 08:50, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I cannot get confirmation email on my gmx adress neither, but for hotmail it works fine (I would rather get the emails at gmx...) --[[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 22:09, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

:I requested an extra line in DNS (<tt>@ TXT v=spf1 a mx ~all</tt>) that might resolve this. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 22:25, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

:::: I've tried again today, and I still do not get emails @gmx.com [[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 14:20, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

::::: Hmm, Roy is transferring the couchwiki.org domain to me so that we can change stuff more quickly. Still, it might be another problem, but I want to make sure the DNS is correct first. I'll keep you updated. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23:29, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

:::::: Sorry for the delay guys. I've just emailed Kasper re: transferring the domain to him, so he can make any changes himself. [[user:azarethroy|azarethroy]] (15:51, 10 November 2009 (UTC))

:The transfer came through. I added a field in the DNS that should fix this issue. Let me know if it's better now - or not. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 10:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

== blocking those anoying bots ? ==

Hey

as you've seen, from yesterday a nasty bot is "attacking" couchwiki. I "undo"ed as much as possible, but since this bot is changing his IP for each edit, should we block th IPs, he's using ?
[[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 05:55, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

:It's possible to block thousands of IPs but I set up reCAPTCHA and no bot edits since then, I think it'll be adequate for now. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 10:46, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

See community portal for question.

I tried logging in with my Aol Open ID but it say's it's cancelled. I ticked all the boxes except email for the moment. Is there a problem? I also have a twitter/hotmail accounts. I'm not sure I want them all linked though..... --118.208.189.140 08:59, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

:Hmm, AOL's OpenID might not work properly with MediaWiki OpenID extension. I'll try upgrading to the latest version of the extension (some time) to see if that solves it. Right now I'm only sure that MyOpenID and the WordPress OpenID provider plugin work for me :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 01:35, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

:::I upgraded to the latest version of the OpenID plugin (for mediawiki 1.15). I hope it works now. Otherwise, there might be relevant info [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OpenID at the openid extension page at mediawiki.org]. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 13:09, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
