Can you possibly attach a screen shot? I'm not sure which link you are speaking of.

The LAVA Google search is temporarily offline because of some bugs. The old search is back for now.

QUOTE(Jim Kring @ Mar 26 2007, 12:21 PM) Let's just say that, if you think that the advertisement is relevant to your search and you feel it might provide some help, then please go ahead and click it.

There have been many complaints by members that the LAVA search engine does not return good results. In order to improve this, i've replaced the built-in search engine on the forums with the google search engine. Please let me know if this behaves better and returns better results.

Sorry, I will fix this soon. For now, the search only works in the English Language.

QUOTE QUOTE(Tomi Maila @ Mar 25 2007, 03:49 PM) I second Jim in this question. Since you are using Feedburner, I'm sure you can find the answer there.

QUOTE(Jim Kring @ Mar 25 2007, 02:01 PM) You can control the syndication on your end and only insert the first sentence or so in the feed (teaser text). This is what NI does on their news feed. Also, to ensuring that appropriate credit is given, include a copyright reference in the final line of the Item Description field of your RSS feed. You can also integrate links back to the source website in the Item description field.Finaly, if you want me to remove your blog from the forum, just send me a PM. I've removed the blogs forum from the - All of LAVA- RSS feed. I've kept the NI RSS feed in there however.

There are two images. Your Personal photo which is visible in your Member profile. Your Avatar, which is available in your posts and topics. This one is configurable in your control panel. Click Personal Profile>Edit Avatar Settings. I hope this helps.

I like that they start every episode with a discussion on beer.

QUOTE(lraynal @ Mar 22 2007, 07:03 AM) I think it's a shame that someone from NI has the #1 spot in the Arcade! Where are all the non-NI LAVA members? C'mon guys, this is embarrassing. We have to knock Darren from his perch. This should be our goal as a group......in addition to adding content on the LabVIEW Wiki of course. .

I know you're not meaning to be funny but this is freakin' hilarious. And your comment "Does that mean I should change the location?" is the best punchline! :laugh:

First of all. This example can be fixed. If you put a delay of 1ms, then it works. Another way is to NOT create a custom property to do something that the built-in Value property already can accomplish. If you use the native value property (to write the data) it works fine. I understand the point of the example is to emphasize the problem but I'm just stating this here for the record. This is a known issue with XControls and I'm not sure if NI is working on a fix or not (probably not). This is simply an issue of a race condition inherent to how the XControl works. Reading from a terminal does not require a call to the XControl Facade (only the data store) which means that it is asynchronous to the facade operation. You can write to a property, and read from the terminal (or native value property) before the Facade has a chance to update the internal data store with the new value. Your other example about the "Get Image" native method is similar since it does not wait for the Facade to complete the work it has to do. I suggest a workaround is to implement your own replacement "Get Image" which does the same thing as the native one. The difference is that it will force the Facade to execute thus avoiding this problem. XControls are a Bitch! Good luck!

QUOTE(PJM_labview @ Mar 20 2007, 09:45 AM) Ya cool. If you have a lot of userboxes then you can wrap them in a frame. See my page.

I started adding some user boxes to the Wiki. These are just simple templates with preformatted text you can add to your user profile. When you add it, it automatically adds you to that category. Just add the following snipet of Wiki code to your page: {{LabVIEW Champion}} Produces: http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5241 {{LAVA Premium Member}} Produces: http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5242 {{NI Employee}} Produces: http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5243 I also Added: {{Certified LabVIEW Architect}} http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5245 {{Certified LabVIEW Developer}} http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5246 Perhaps someone can add: OpenG Developer?

QUOTE(Mike Ashe @ Mar 19 2007, 05:59 AM) Yes, please be bold and improve the articles where you see fit.QUOTE(eaolson @ Mar 19 2007, 07:38 AM) I think the LabVIEW-focused wiki is a great idea. Just don't forget there are Wikipedia articles for LabVIEW, OpenG, and even Jim Kring. Yes, there are three pages on Wikipedia. I think [wiki]LabVIEW[/wiki] deserves better than that. This is not Wikipedia, this is better. It's the ultimate collection of all [wiki]LabVIEW[/wiki] knowledge.

QUOTE(Aitor Solar @ Mar 19 2007, 02:59 AM) Well, yes, I figured it would eventualy come to this. You can never please all the people all the time. I will turn off the automatic feature however you can still use the manual BBCODE when you need it.

Ok, there is a way at the moment to get RSS feeds of both changes and new pages. Using the Special:Recentchanges page and the Special:Newpages. These have an RSS link in your browser.

QUOTE(Jim Kring @ Mar 18 2007, 12:47 PM) This probably won't be implemented anytime soon.QUOTE(yen @ Mar 18 2007, 12:51 PM) Now I just need to see whether this applies to all subtopics as well. There is no such thing as subtopic on a wiki. Articles and pages just exist. They are just linked to by other pages. QUOTE(Jeff Plotzke @ Mar 18 2007, 04:01 PM) I think I need to add wiki articles for the words 'a' and 'the' -- Articles would have a ton of links! Go ahead, those articles are good candidates for speedy deletion. That's my next task... guidlines. QUOTE(Jim Kring @ Mar 18 2007, 04:20 PM) Michael: I've noticed that there are no wiki links in old topics. It appears that the tags are added when the page is edited. Is there a way to add wiki links in old topics (rebuild wiki links)? Can this be done on a semi-regular basis (e.g., a cron job)? There is no way to do this at the moment, but I will put it on my list of things to look into.

QUOTE(yen @ Mar 18 2007, 12:27 PM) I don't know of how to get notified for any new pages. If you find out, let us know. You can watch pages for changes. Did you go into your preferences on the Wiki? There is a chekbox to send you email.http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5229''>http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5229'>http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5229

Jim, I created a dummy account with the same rights as you and I was able to edit the [wiki]OpenG[/wiki] page on the Wiki. Also as far as the autowikify feature, you can always manualy wikify a word in the forums by manually adding the tags around it.

QUOTE(crelf @ Mar 18 2007, 06:47 AM) You need a space before and after the word.QUOTE(Jim Kring @ Mar 18 2007, 12:04 PM) I tried to edit the [wiki]OpenG[/wiki] page and it said "This page has been locked to prevent editing." I could not edit the page, so... how when/how does this happen? how do I find out who has the lock? how do we unlock a page? Sorry in advance for not just reading the FAQ All good questions however, it does not seem to be locked for me. Of course I have Admin rights but your group should have edit rights on that page too. This is strange. I wonder if the page gets locked when someone else is editing it? Not sure, I will look into it.

Some new features to let everyone know about. I've added a special BBcode that you can use inside Forum posts to link to Wiki Articles: http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5225 This is also available form the "insert special item" menu: http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5224 Also, as a bonus! If you create a forum post that contains words that exist as LAVA Wiki pages, the system will automatically linkify the words to the Wiki pages. For example: I love [wiki]LabVIEW[/wiki] and I also like using [wiki]State Machines[/wiki] very much.
