Issue with no preview

Interesting script. Of course, the first thing I noticed that non-admins cannot use it on protected templates :) —AlexSm 15:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Fixed. Lots of my other scripts stopped it working when I tried to use it as a non-admin on a protected template, though; it worked when I disabled all scripts but it. --ais523 17:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Onclick

I think a good additional feature would be to highlight (with background color, for example) the matching braces on mouse click (for several seconds). —AlexSm 15:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, I've implemented that as well; if you click a set of braces, both it and the set it matches are higlighted in black for 3 seconds. --ais523 17:44, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

bm_callback() not called

This isn't working for me...

The text is sent to the screen in the created div, but there appears to be no alterations whatsoever.

I looked through the script, and I think the problem is that the function bm_callback() is never actually called!

The only time this function is referenced outside itself is here:

var p='action=expandtemplates&generatexml=1&format=json&callback=bm_callback&text='+encodeURIComponent(t); (from bm_parsebrackets())

But there appears to be nothing anywhere else to fetch that url, see that it includes "&callback=...", and have it call the function.

It's called by the eval in bm_apirespond. (The format=json&callback= cause the Wikimedia server to return a JavaScript object wrapped in a call to bm_callback, so that it can be parsed using eval.) The alterations are in the colour of the brackets of template calls, although the text should be the same; try it on {{show1}}, for instance, and you should see the braces around the {{{1}}} and {{PAGENAME}} in a different colour. --ais523 14:24, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Legacy JavaScript

Hello! This script has been detected as using deprecated parameters that need to be replaced with the updated version. Examples include addOnloadHook( ... ) needs to be replaced with $( function() { ... } ); all wgGlobalVariables need to be properly gotten with mw.config.get( 'wgGlobalVariable' ); and addPortletLink needs to be called with mw.util.addPortletLink. Please see MW:ResourceLoader/Legacy JavaScript for details. Thank you. — {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c) 20:28, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
