User talk:Elli/OneClickArchiver

Skins tested: vector (2010) and vector-2022.

Possible fix: Check for Category:Non-talk pages that are automatically signed. If present, display the "Archive" link on that page. –Novem Linguae (talk) 05:50, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I may be a fool or blind, but for me this script only archives to /talkpage/Archive 1 even if there are later number archives available. Is there a way to change that which i'm just not seeing? Happy days, ~ Lindsay^Hello 15:25, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@LindsayH: is there an example of a page where this is an issue? Elli (talk | contribs) 21:15, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Elli. Well, yes. I stopped using Evad37's archiver after i had to manually redo all the archiving i did at talk:Dalida; so, i have tried again, with yours, at that page, and it archives to Talk:Dalida/Archive 1, although Talk:Dalida/Archive 2 exists. Also, which is what prompted me here yesterday, a test action i did at user_talk:LindsayH went to /Archive 1 although archives up to Archive 8 exist. If i'm not being clear, please ask.

I set auto-archive at Talk:Fortnite Battle Royale and then advanced the counter, OCA worked just fine with /Archive 2 (OCA created the page and archived the correct section and page. Special:Diff/1229260901) - FlightTime (open channel) 13:08, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FlightTime ~ so i'm misunderstanding how a one click archiver works? My assumption was that you can click to archive finished sections on a talk page; that's why i thought i could use it on Talk:Dalida and my usertalk. Am i wrong, the page has to be set up to auto-archive for the one step script to work? That seems...counter-intuitive, no? Happy days, ~ Lindsay^Hello 14:17, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@LindsayH: You have to have a archiving script set for OCA to work. If not User:MiszaBot/config then {{Archive basics}}, something like these scripts need to be set or OCA will not work. - FlightTime (open channel) 16:05, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scripts that descend from Technical13's version use the configuration for MiszaBot (now being processed by lowercase sigmabot III), or the {{Archive basics}} template, which has the two configuration values needed by the script (see User:Technical 13/Scripts/OneClickArchiver § Archive page). In the case where there is no configured bot, the script still needs to be told what archive page to use, as the archiving naming conventions can differ from page to page. isaacl (talk) 15:10, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you both; i guess i did misunderstand ~ i don't recall ever seeing that information when i first used either Technical13's or Evad37's, so now i think i've got it. Cheers! Happy days, ~ Lindsay^Hello 06:37, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering: which of the bugs reported at User talk:Evad37/OneClickArchiver.js have been fixed in this version?

• Incorrect archive target
• Always uses Archive 1 as archive target even though there are 2 or more than one archives
• TypeError when visiting uncreated talk pages
• Problem with number width specifier in archive parameter
• Bug report: one click archiving on subpages should not default to the main page archive

Perhaps reporters of bugs could be advised to use User:Elli/OneClickArchiver. —⁠andrybak (talk) 21:08, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Andrybak: I'll get to working on these soon :) thanks for collecting them. Elli (talk | contribs) 21:17, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
