:It was definitely working yesterday clicking links from wikiislam. I think it's probably just gone down temporarily (has happened before)[[User:Lightyears|Lightyears]] ([[User talk:Lightyears|talk]]) 17:15, 18 October 2016 (EDT) | |||
== CMJE web no longer offers quran and hadiths == | |||
The templates converting hadith/verse number to cmje url don't work anymore. We should start using other website, or use our own quran / hadiths. [[User:Prekladator|Prekladator]] ([[User talk:Prekladator|talk]]) 04:48, 18 December 2016 (EST) | |||
:Yeah, it's not worked since mid October. I contacted one of the cmje members and they got it working again for a few weeks, but now it's down again. They say they have problems maintaining the site. I'm working on a new solution involving another Qur'an and hadith site, but first I am trying to get some of the templates we need unlocked so editor user rights can change them. I know someone who has an excellent site with many great features better than cmje that will be able to work with the existing usc-msa hadith citations on wikiislam as well as new ones after I've changed the templates. I can get the Qur'an links working as soon as I've got the template rights changed and hadiths hopefully fairly soon after when the other site is able to take them.[[User:Lightyears|Lightyears]] ([[User talk:Lightyears|talk]]) 20:22, 19 December 2016 (EST) | |||
=== Transition from CMJE to QuranX=== | |||
I can edit the templates now (I asked for the templates to be unprotected so Editors could change them, but they seem to have decided instead to give me Admin rights). The eventual permanent exmna admin can unprotect them if he/she decides to in future (they are in transition between admins). | |||
The site we will be using as a replacement for cmje is [http://quranx.com/ QuranX.com]. It combines many of the best features of other well known sites, and as such is an excellent research productivity tool. To start with I've just made the Qur'an templates point there. Some improvements to the QuranX site are soon coming which we can use (e.g. showing the linked verse(s) in context). Hadith templates will be directed there too once it is able to interpret the obsolete usc-msa numbering scheme used by the existing hadith citations here. If there are any technical problems in future with the site we will be using please contact therationaliser[[file:At-sign.gif]]gmail.com [[User:Lightyears|Lightyears]] ([[User talk:Lightyears|talk]]) 23:42, 28 December 2016 (EST) | |||
:Hadiths for the old cmje collections (Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Al-Muwatta) should be working again now. Links to them are now using the quranx site. There's some more work to do (minor feature improvements, and a process comparing the translations with cmje (quranx includes some corrections to the cmje translations), but it's good that we have something once again. | |||
:We are also using the new QuranX features allowing alternative referencing systems to be used when citing hadiths (USC-MSA and in-book reference, which also appear on another well known hadith site but without the ability to link using the USC-MSA system). The templates for these 4 collections now allow an in-book reference alternative to the default USC-MSA reference system. This is useful as there are many hadiths that appear on QuranX that were omitted on the old cmje site's hadith collections (especially in cmje's abridged Abu Dawud collection). These hadiths usually have been given a USC-MSA number the same as adjacent hadiths that were on cmje. The in-book referencing system can be used to cite them specifically, or otherwise using the default USC-MSA system, all the hadiths that have a cited USC-MSA number will be listed when there is more than one.[[User:Lightyears|Lightyears]] ([[User talk:Lightyears|talk]]) 01:04, 3 January 2017 (EST) | |||
::The current hadith template is probably causing an Enter. See [[Glossary of Islamic Terms#M|the last part of this section]]. [[User:Saggy|Saggy]] ([[User talk:Saggy|talk]]) 15:00, 3 January 2017 (EST) | |||
:::Thanks, I think it's fixed now. There are also some minor issues with the usc hadith numbers in the data set on QuranX that I'm also helping them fix.[[User:Lightyears|Lightyears]] ([[User talk:Lightyears|talk]]) 15:55, 3 January 2017 (EST) | |||
== Offline version? == | |||
When I am in an article and click "Printable version" I can make a nice PDF out of that article. I think you could upload somewhere (I wouldn't overload this site) a big zip with all articles in PDF. And then people who might have limited internet access could study offline also. Maybe they can't access wikiislam, but they can download the bunch of PDFs somewhere. And also if there was a printed version, that would be also great. Doesn't have to be everything, it could be "The Best of WikiIslam" for example.
