Alex's notes from creating a test web server that will eventually host important stuff (aka a test run on a cheap Dell Inspiron).
There's an [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms/Quick_start_guide#Example example data structure] on the Semantic Forms page. I followed most of the steps, except for '''Enabling links to forms'''. I couldn't get #formredlink to work properly (the template wasn't parsing the silent property declaration with #set properly), so I instead added a line to the "Was written by" property page:
<nowiki>[[Creates pages with form::Author]]</nowiki>
And this way, once a new Book page is created, the redlink for the book's author (when clicked) automatically generates an Author page.
I also added #default_form lines at the end of the Book and Author template pages, e.g. for the Author template page, the last few lines looked like:
<nowiki>
...
[[Category:Authors]]
{{#default_form:Author}}
</includeonly>
</nowiki>
and I did something similar for the Book template page. This way, every Book and Author page will have a "Edit with form" tab in addition to the "Edit" tab (and the "edit with form" tab is significantly more useful).
* Google Analytics on the test blog. we need FTP access (port 21) to be able to install new plugins, apparently...
