PhilippinesTrafficSigns image path error

[stoecker]

Hi,

the zip attached to Styles/PhilippinesTrafficSigns contains an additional top-level folder "Philippines]. That's why the icons cannot be referenced.

P.S. In the upload dialog you need to select that you want to replace existing files, otherwise you will upload a new one!

Hi Stoecker, thank you for taking time to explain to me what's wrong.

I checked these sites:
https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Styles#Icons
https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Presets

And there's no information how to replace existing files..
is it similar as (NOZIP) or (EXTRACT)

Like putting (OVERWRITE) or maybe (REPLACE) or maybe just (WRITE) and then it would overwrite the file?

Thank you for taking time to help me out here, just new on this josm.openstreetmap.de trac/wiki system..

please let me know the correct spelling I need to put in the comment to actually overwrite existing files.

No. In the upload dialog below the description field is a checkbox to replace attachments with the same name. This only works when you are the same person as uploaded the previous file and I'd think you need to be logged in to do so.

If not, then you need to ask, like before, an admin to delete the old file.

There is one more thing in wiki:/Presets/PhilippinesTrafficSigns
Empty icon paths are not allowed. Please remove all icon="".

[mrgenie]

Okay I think I finally got all the howto's

the checkbox wasn't visible on my end. I found out it's a scriptblocker that caused it to be invisible..

Anyway thanks for your patience and guidance.. hope from here on I manage everything properly.

As a sidenote - I'd prefer it if one couldn't alter the wiki entries without logging in.

I was registered already before and thought I was still logged in, which I wasn't when I did my first uploads..

It would have been better if I were logged in - but that's not really a big issue since admins can always correct everything - just my personal opinion to make "logged in" mandatory

That's our task as admin :-)

Years ago I deliberately have chosen to operate an open wiki with all the pro's and con's that result from this :-)

Yeah. There seems an issue that sometimes login gets lost. But until now nobody was able to track it down and report it properly. My guess would be a use of the back button in the browser brings people to a pre-login state :-)

One more tip:
The default for checks is not to be checked unset and you can disable "off" with disable_off="true" to only have two states, "on" and unset. E.g. instead of

<check key="traffic_sign:forward" text="Forward" default="off" value_off="" value_on="PH:xxxx" />`

I would use

<check key="traffic_sign:forward" text="Forward" disable_off="true" value_on="PH:xxxx" />`

and maybe some columns with <checkgroup>.
