VisualData examples and feature requests[edit | edit source]


Feature	Comment
Better ID management than 5869 (Extension:IDProvider)	Similar to <unique number> in PageForms (see here). Solved with its own Extension:UniquePageTitle
Sorting function for multiple fields
Image preview on file upload	Theoretically already provided in the code, see /resources/VisualDataForms.js
Pre-filled fields on form call	Works in newer versions of VisualData - Custom code adjustment for handling nested and multiple values - should be committed to VisualData
Generate page title (PAGENAME) from another field (e.g., from project title)	Works, if titles already exist, Extension UniquePageTitle is applied
For long pages: Scroll back to the previous page position after saving popup forms
Internationalization for values in select and dropdown lists	Possibly via switch statement, see: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualData/Queries_in_forms
Display label instead of schema name in tabs in forms
Add sub-items and fields in forms based on queries
Ability to open forms from the content block of another form (form button is currently not rendered)


Bug	Comment
~~Categories are stored in an extra slot, which conflicts with the normal categories (these are not displayed)~~	Fixed with v1.0.5
`\|preload=` does not work in form definition (currently commented out in /includes/VisualData.php from line 1602). It is also designed to render entire pages and write them to the target page. It would be better to load normal text, e.g. `{{My Template}}`, without rendering it into the page
Import script does not work due to incorrect version check 1.41 instead of 1.41.0
~~includes/classes/SchemaProcessor.php: Line 1225: Typo $properties $this->replaceFormula( $proprties, $wiki['options-label-formula'] ) );~~	Fixed with v1.0.5
VE (VEForAll) does not load in inactive form tabs
mw.widgets.UsersMultiselectWidget throws an error
