Introducing the PF Library

[Hootenanny]

I'm still not seeing the creator in the edit log Greg, unless this was implemented after the latest entry was submitted.

Scratch that, I can now see the creator on the latest entry.

LaTeX problem

Non-members can't access the PF Library … is that intentional?

I can't see the LaTeX equations in the Extended explanation section (though I can them in the Equations section).

The LaTeX equations in https://www.physicsforums.com/library.php?do=view_item&itemid=18 aren't visible on my iMac using Safari 3.1.1, or on my local library's PC using Internet Explorer.

The code I typed looks ok to me.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Greg, for some reason when I edit an entry my edit isn't showing up in the edit log. Has anyone else noticed this?

I don't think [ctex] tags work on PF.

[ctex]test[/ctex]

I've seen tex and itex.

Correction. ctex seems to work in the Library entry in the moderation queue, so I'm not sure why it's not working in the Library.

TT, I mentioned this in the HH forum. If your entry was created before Greg made the formatting fix just enter the edit panel and click save immediately and the latex should show up after that.

cristo: I brought it to Greg's attention last night that some threads were showing that users did not have full permission for so I think he's working on it.

Woohoo! ​

Thanks, kurdt!

Fixed, thanks!

Ok, cheers, Kurdt.. I must've missed that post.

This is so cool. People will have a lot of fun populating these databases.

I'm looking forward to an engineering database.

There something annoying about the auto-hyperlinking system which causes certain keywords corresponding to existing entries int the library to be linked, even if the word is used in a collequial context. Like for example, the word 'limit' or variations such as 'limited' would all be linked to the library even though the term may not have been intended for its formal mathematical meaning.

Working on this now. thanks

 

[Defennder]

Thanks Greg.

 

[neutrino]

I'm late in say thing but, thanks a lot, Greg. It is a wonderful addition to this great resource of a site. And thanks to the contributors and moderators, too.

Looking forward to exploring the library.

The symbol ≥ cannot be used in Definition/Summary, although > can be.

If I type alt-> on my Mac as usual, which gives ≥ anywhere else, the html code &# followed by 8805; appears instead.

alt-> gives standard code, which should appear as ≥ on any browser … why does it not work in this particular field?

(I also tried typing which didn't work either)

If the same person amends the same field twice in quick succession, it goes down as two edits in the Edit log.

Perhaps this should be changed, especially since there is no preview facility? ​

test triangle

test... triangles

triangle linkage working?

 

[tiny-tim]

The title field in See Also is restricted to 22 characters. Is that intended?

May I suggest that the Report button be changed to Contact, or Contact Editor … "Report" looks as if it's only for sniping.

 

[jostpuur]

To help avoid cluttering, we've setup the links to remain black text, but feature a dotted underline.

The links are jumping on the viewers eyes too much now, with capital letters and different color.

 

[awvvu]

Can we arrange for the auto linking to not change the capitalization of the word linked?

Haven't seen any response to this, but I second it.

blah blah angular momentum blah blah.

 

[_Mayday_]

Has a preview button been mentioned by anyone yet?

 

[cristo]

Has a preview button been mentioned by anyone yet?

Yes, see posts #8 and #9: Greg says he has noted this as a future feature.

 

[_Mayday_]

Ah right cheers!

 

[Physicsissuef]

Can I ask you why there isn't any edit button? I urgently need it. Thanks.

 

[Gokul43201]

Only PF staff has the ability to edit entries - for quality control. If there's an edit you'd like to make, you can post it as a comment, and if it's reasonable, a staff member will make the edit.

 

[Physicsissuef]

Ok, thanks. And why In the definition box, the tags for bold or italic don't work?

 

[Kurdt]

Ok, thanks. And why In the definition box, the tags for bold or italic don't work?

I don't think bbcode is enabled in that box.

 

[Physicsissuef]

Yes, but it should be. Please enable it.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Yes, but it should be. Please enable it.

I'll look into it

 

[Physicsissuef]

Can I ask why one of my posts in the library, about equation of line, is deleted? I put so much effort in it. Please return it back. Thank you.

 

[Kurdt]

Its not deleted, they have to moderated first. During that time they aren't visible.
