@Thyras, @Katkow, @endreeyah, @dangerous-angel, @johannes, @nickelelr, @seano, @Learna Lot, and @janeciaA:

Would any of you be interested in being added as a contributor to this course, so that you can make corrections to anything that needs it?

(If more than one person would like to be added as a contributor, that'd be great, too! :D)

neoncube Sure, I'll help how I can, though I am not advanced with French, so I should not be the sole custodian. 🙂 Certainement, je vous apporterai mon aide, dans la mesure de mes moyens.

neoncube

nickelelr Thanks, I appreciate it 🙂 I've added you as a contributor.

By the way, I took a look at this course, and it looks like it would benefit from the commas being replaced with semicolons. See my comment in this other thread: https://forum.mylittlewordland.com/d/71-making-people-contributors-of-their-old-courses/101

Let me know if you run into any issues or think of any new features I should add! 🙂

Hello, I've tried to make changes a few times, including the semicolon replacement, but the problem I'm running into, at least this is what it seems like, is bugginess occurring around the large amount of page data. Specifically, I can't publish the changes, and also editing actions like clicking one of the form boxes and changing the value is quite slow and sticky. Naturally I tried with extensions off and in a few different browsers as well as in private mode but nothing seemed to solve it. I've also tried editing on both my fastest device (which is not super fast by any means but I do have plenty of RAM) and a tablet. Not working out. Unless this is a known bug it may simply be that I don't have a good device to help with editing, sorry. Thought I'd let you know so you can look into it if you want.

nickelelr Sorry, I forgot how slow editing large courses is. Let me see what I can do 🙂

nickelelr This should now be fixed! 🙂

The last time that I looked into fixing this, I couldn't figure out a good way to do it, but it turns out that the issue was caused by a simple bug and basically involved changing just one line of code.

Anyway, I've released the fix to the beta version of My Little Word Land: https://beta.mylittlewordland.com . When you have a chance, can you try it out and let me know if it works well for you?

Thanks, and also thanks again for letting me know that editing was too slow 🙂

This seems thoroughly fixed for me, my congratulations on sorting it out.

Making a few spot replacements and such. Kinda glad now I was detained from my original action of accepting the across-the-board comma to semicolon replacement in this case because many of the commas are not being used to define alternate terms as much as elliptically giving a single sense -- as is often needed between languages. And it doesn't seem entirely regular about how the two are being used in what we have either, so I had better accept caution in this case and improve spot by spot as I see things. Ultimately you could use a real French knower stepping in I imagine.

neoncube

nickelelr Good to hear, thanks! 🙂

Do you have an example of this?

neoncube

nickelelr I've released this fix to the main site, so it should now be available on https://mylittlewordland.com as well as https://beta.mylittlewordland.com 🙂
