[Phpmyadmin-devel] i10n: String formatting in JS?

In PHP we have sprintf / printf to properly format language strings, but do we got any equivalent for javascript? There's nothing documented about it on the wiki.

Please try looking in ./phpmyadmin/js/jquery/jquery.sprintf.js Never used it or even looked at it, but it sounds like what you want. Rouslan

Just tried creating an account on the pma wiki to add a note about $.sprintf(), but this captcha is horribly hard to read (and every time i mistype i have to reenter the password) - can't we replace it with recaptcha or something?

It should be possible to replace it with recaptcha, any strong opinions against it? -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

Actually looking at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit#ReCaptcha it might not be the best idea: Unfortunately, reCAPTCHA might be a victim of its own success - as of 2011, some spammers appear to have figured out a way to bypass it, either through character recognition or by using humans. For that reason, it is not necessarily recommended. Though I'm still open to other opinions. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

How about some own anti-spam solution ala http://www.90percentofeverything.com/2011/03/25/fk-captcha/ Let me know if I can assist with anything. Maybe there's some honeypot / timestamp analysis thingy for mediawiki somewhere?

There's also seems other solutions than using a captcha on the mediawiki site: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam

I have not found any so far. Also I don't know much of MediaWiki internals to implement such solution.

Well, we were using most of them. I've added using DNS blacklist and changed captcha to SimpleCaptcha, which should be quite easy to solve. Let's see how it will work with spammers. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

Cool thanks, signing up now :D If too many spammers get through, I'll look into the mediawiki code and see if I can implement something quick.

Another l10n related question. Can language strings contain simple html formatting such as <p>, <b> and <br>? If not, I will need to split up one language string into 5 seperate ones. On Wed, Jul 6, 2011 at 1:34 PM, Tyron Madlener <tyronx@gmail.com> wrote:

Another question: What about date formats? Just make it a regular l10n string? On Mon, Jul 11, 2011 at 1:38 PM, Tyron Madlener <tyronx@gmail.com> wrote:

There is already strftime based l10n string for datetime, so same should be used for date as well. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://phpmyadmin.cz

They can, but sometimes it is better to split up the message. I'd do it at lest for separate paragraphs. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://phpmyadmin.cz
