@orso b. schmid i'm sorry, i've missed all these posts and the reference to me.

 

I'm sorry to hear that vectorlab is down.

 

It is absolutely possible to merge any information you have from vectorlab into the developer.vectorworks.net wiki. Also, i can give rights to anyone who is willing to support it.

Page edit requires logged in user, page creation requires admin.

User registration requires a request as we've seen lots of bots creating users and spamming the pages, but i create users for anyone who asks. 

 

Unfortunately, I currently have no team to support it actively and produce nice examples. I'm working on this to change, but i cannot promise timeline at this point.

 

Again, if you have the db, or any set of articles from the vectorlab, i can merge it in.

Ciao Vlado, it's good to see you!

for the moment I put the article as backup on Orso's talk page.

I think that whenever I can I'll re-wiki it there.

Hi _c_,

   When I try to open your WebArchives in Safari I get a flurry of errors repeating in a new blank Tab. The following message keeps flashing on the Safari screen as if it's stuck in an infinite loop, or there are just so many errors queued up I close the Tab before they finish.

I've also tried to open the files with Firefox and I get a message asking if I want to open them with Safari. That's kind of funny.

 

Can you open the webarchive files on your system? If so, it may be an OS thing. I am still on OS 10.11.6, and Safari is v11.1.2. I may need newer software.

Hi, I just stumbled across this thread while looking for info on what has become of the very useful information on Vectorlab.  It is great to learn that much has been archived, including the very often cited Events page.  Just wondering if there is any update on when these archives may again be visible somewhere, and if there is anything any of us in the community can do to help?

Hello everybody,

 

just to inform that now the List Browser article has been reworked and put on dev in my user space, since the thing is all but official.

https://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php/User:CBM-c-/VS-List_Browsers_part_1

 

I would be thankful if one of the admins could delete the attachment in my previous post (under Orso's Avatar). I found out that the webarchive I saved is full of truly ugly links, the wiki had apparently been capered before being shut down. This also applies to the Wayback machine, and BTW, that most articles didn't save.

 

@Pat Stanford, can you help there? Delete the zip here?

Pat, I could still delete it as Orso, it's done!

 

Thank you and happy new year everybody!

   I tried to attach the file directly to this post, but the forum does not accept the .webarchive file extension. Let me know if the attached ZIP file opens and you can read it. If not, I'll send it to you offline. Are you using a Mac, or a PC?

 

Dear Raymond, please don't share the webarchives, it includes tons of bad links from Wikispammers. I didn't check this very one, but it might be the case as well.

Delete the attachment, please.

 

Hello @MarcelP102, I did add the Events article to the dev already some time ago, did you check this?

@MarcelP102,

   Long ago I felt that this article would survive better on my hard drive than in the ether. You've proved my supposition correct. Yes, it's one you only need rarely, but it's invaluable when it is needed.
