@amirshim: Sorry if I ask again: Can you explain how you found or created the Index file for the database?

German (and probably other) users would be highly happy to get their language wiki on iLiad. Can you give us a hint? (As I see it we only need Index file and database to get our language... is it?)

Thanks for this nice application. It is very fast and smooth.

Sorry for my impatience - but the goal is so near now

Thank you very much!

The code to generate the Indexes is not ready for public consumption, but I generated two more indexes... check them out here:

http://code.google.com/p/pyoffwiki/wiki/OtherIndexes

I also got the Hebrew Wikipedia working, but none of the Iliad browsers (Dillo, Midori or Minimo) are able to display hebrew fonts, so it's not of much use. Any other requests?

Gogolo · 05-22-2008, 06:15 AM

Thank you very much for your work!

Edit: I deleted my post because IT IS RUNNING NOW in German with full Wikipedia!

I should have read your advices on OtherIndexes properly...

Only problem is, that the umlaute are not displayed - only weird characters. Is this a dillo problem?

This is extremly nice and I thank you another time! :-))))

Im editing all the time :-) Adams Hmtl link to internal browser did it. This one shows the umlaute very nice. Great!

Edit again: Dillo International also does the job for German umlaute, get it here

People who use Linux will run into a problem of the run.sh being NOT executable (at least for the all-in-one zip). This is due to wrong EOF symbol used in them. fixing them manually (delete the ^M symbol at every end-of-line) should work. If you try to be smart and use "unzip -a" to let it does the ASCII conversion for you, sorry it won't work! This is because the original zip file wasn't packed with proper ASCII flags for ASCII file.

But it'll be most beneficial if somebody can fix the Shell scripts in the original zip.

Also I noted that in dillo/run.sh, it says "./xset +fp $scriptdir/fonts/TTF", but the directory fonts/ttf actually appears to be all in lowercase. So this line never works. There could be similiar issues elsewhere.

May this be a bug?: Random Page runs only one time - you'd have to restart dillo to run it another time.

Wiki is the killer app for iLiad

I have uploaded a new version of the package

# fixed sh scripts [line feed encoding]
# ./xset +fp $scriptdir/fonts/TTF [dillo]
# international version of dillo [öäüß etc.]

Hmmm ... I wonder if there's any connection between Wikipedia not working on my Iliad and the fact that I never got the Fontswitcher to work, either...

Will try the updated Wikipedia later. (Much later - I'm the last man on dial-up.)

Dillo caches everything, so you have to click the refresh button on the top (4th from the left) to get random to give you a new page.

Thanks for this one. I like to sit, letting me surprise and reading...

Cool, thanks guys! Now all I need is a bigger flash card -- the Simple English version of Wikipedia makes me feel like I'm being patronised by a primary school teacher

Yes, but everybody thinking about buying a new flashcard for full english wikipedia please read this first.
