Hi, the Malay language is still evolving with changes in spelling or terminology. How do I do a global word replacement? PM Poon 10:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Hello - I'm the owner of ZeldaWiki.org, and we're having some pretty troubling issues at the moment. They are twofold:
My previous URL schema was /pagename. I have changed it to /index.php?title=pagename in order to fix this URL issue - clicking on any of the tabs at the top of the page brings you to an odd index.php page when the URL schema is the former. It is, however, crucial that the short URL's are working. --Jason 11:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi
Im trying to add links into the footer section and just wondering how to do this through MonoBook.php.
Ive found the section:
// Generate additional footer links
?>
<ul id="f-list">
<?php
$footerlinks = array(
'lastmod', 'viewcount', 'numberofwatchingusers', 'credits', 'copyright',
'privacy', 'about', 'disclaimer', 'tagline',
);
foreach( $footerlinks as $aLink ) {
if( isset( $this->data[$aLink] ) && $this->data[$aLink] ) {
?> <li id="<?php echo$aLink?>"><?php $this->html($aLink) ?></li>
<?php }
And wish to add page links in here. For example, Id like to have a link in here called:
Change Log
That goes to page
http://<server>/mediawiki/index.php/Change_Log
I cant hard code the full url path, because my server is accessed via 2 different urls, so I need to somehow put the new entry in without hardcoding the server name. Thank you. —58.175.32.115 23:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Nad! Thank you heaps! You really do know your stuff!!! :>) Thank you.
When i go to my wiki, it comes up with a message saying
"In order to configure the wiki you have to make the config subdirectory writable by the web server. Once configuration is done you'll move the created LocalSettings.php to the parent directory, and for added safety you can then remove the config subdirectory entirely."
I do not have access to the server, what should i do? —75.17.17.185 15:41, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm aware that this probably sounds noobish, but I would like some basic information on how to add the rel="nofollow" attribute to the <a href> tags for a specific interwiki link prefix. The wiki that I aid in administrating is trying to avoid boosting this one site's rankings as much as possible, which is difficult, seeing as we frequently link to them. I'm very inexperienced at PHP coding, and any assistance would be much appreciated. —Linus M. 17:44, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I want to protect my articles of viewing by anyone except a special group. If anyone else is trying to watch these articel, protected by me, he will be shown an older version that was released earlier. It's a kind of quality management. As long the newer informations are not checked by anybody in that special group, the older version of this articel should be shown. Is there any extension or a possibility of MediaWiki to do that? —213.214.18.64 06:52, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'm sorry I can't help you with finding the current version because I have only downloaded the dump without the old versions. But one hint: replace "AND old_text not like '%#REDIRECT%'" with "AND page_is_redirect=0". This should improve the performance significantly.

Got the same problem. My problem was that I set the path to the logo relatively ( ./images/mylogo.png ). That won't work 'caus the URL changes between edit and view-mode. Just gave a explicit address ( http://myurl:port/images/mylogo.png ) and it worked. Hope that it's helpful for you. Mfg, Chris
The uploading to my site is working great except when its a rather large image. Instead of creating a thumbnail for it, it's taking me to a blank page. I have other images that are smaller that are working fine.
Here is an example of one not working: [[1]] The direct link here [[2]] where it uploaded is fine..
As you can see from my [Imagelist] it's working fine for the other images.

Hi all,
I'm a user at the galician wikipedia. We have some images there in .jpg format that exist in commons in .svg format, and a template that uses the images in .jpg. I tried to use the expression {{#ifexist:}} to choose the svg image if it exists in commons and the local jpg if not, but i realized that this can't be done, it just can check wether a local page exists or not. Does anyone know if there is some way to do this check? I hope I have explained myself, if not just let me know. Thanks in advance. —Banjo 20:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I have the same issues here - has this progressed any further? 138.251.148.101 12:17, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
I just edited includes/GlobalFunctions.php and changed wfMkdirParents. In my 1.11.1 install it claimed to have "777" for a default but it doesn't actually work. You need to do a little trick with 'umask' around the actual mkdir call. Here's what I did. I replaced the 'return mkdir ...' line in that function with:
$old_mask = umask(0);
$val = mkdir( str_replace( '/', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $fullDir ), $mode, true );
umask($old_mask);
return $val;
This seems to have fixed it for me. Sk4p 15:12, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi guys. This is most likely by design, but I thought Id mention it.
I want to use the Extension ArticletoCategory, so when I go to a Category page, I can enter the name of a new page in a text box, and it threads in automatically, the Category name.
This works fine on its own.
However, I also use the Extension Preloader, and i have a 1 liner in the file Template:Boilerplate , which I attach to all pages created in the Main Namespace by default. It is __NEWSECTIONLINK__ . It looks like you cant use the Preloader and Template Boilerplate WITH the Extension ArticleToCategory. What happens is that if you try and create a new page FROM a Category page, and input the name of the new page, the Extension ArticleToCategory ceases to work, and the Category name is not automatically inserted into the new page's contents. Only the Preloader text is there. If someone else could verify this, or could tell me that you cant use Preloader with Extension ArticleToCategory, that would be great. I would also be great if you could use both together. Thank you.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Author:{{PAGENAME}}}} in the author category to change its displayed title, then create corresponding article called "Author:xxxx" which redirect to the appropriate category.{{#dpl:category={{PAGENAME}}|mode=category}} which would then behave just like the category page would do.Both methods should have the "Author" namespace added. --Nad 11:16, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I'm an administrator of an Italian wiki, part of Wikia project. I posted once a few weeks ago. I have a problem with the inputbox tag, but I think it's a kind of compatibility problem, rather that a bug in the extension. Let me explain:
I use inputbox for searching issues, I have to create a tool that searches words inside the Namespace "Forum:". I've read on the "Parameters" chapter of the help-page of Inputbox extension how to do this. On the example included on the page, I put a string ("foo" for example) and checked the "Help" namespace. I clicked, it produced the URL:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=foo&ns12=1&fulltext=Ricerca+nel+testo
And it showed me the occurrences in the namespace "Help:". Everything's ok.
So I put this code on my wiki:
<inputbox> type=search searchbuttonlabel=Cerca nel forum break=no namespaces=Forum width=40 </inputbox>
I put the string "prova", I checked "Forum" namespace, I clicked, it produced the correct URL:
http://nonciclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Speciale:Ricerca?search=prova&ns110=1&fulltext=Cerca+nel+forum
BUT... it showed me the occurrences in the global namespace. Why in this wiki the same URL does work fine and in Wikia wikis does not? They have different versions? Some kind of compatibility and/or localization problem?
I found that this URL works fine:
http://nonciclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Speciale:Ricerca?search=prova&ns110=1&searchx=Ricerca
But I cannot tell this to inputbox... Is there a workaround or I simply have to renounce to my poor searching-tool? —Heavymachinegun 22:35, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi! I recently installed a MediaWiki 1.11.0 on an Apache 1.3(cgi), PHP 5.2.2 and MySQL 4.1.22 server. I used the Subdomain with no Subdirectory in Article URL method to shorten my URLs. But now, when a page contains a slash, it gives me a 404 error message. What should I do? —85.73.207.115 06:16, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Our server got hit by some hackers yesterday. They managed to replace every file with "index" in it's filename. I managed to restore all the index pages (dragged and dropped entire directories from a month-old backup), but now I'm having a problem with file uploading and the upload log:
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:(SQL query hidden)
from within function "LogReader::getRows". MySQL returned error "1146: Table '<wiki_DB_name>.logging' doesn't exist (localhost)".
At first glance, it looks like an entire table got wiped out from the SQL database, yet I was assured these hackers never got to the SQL database server. Is this a glitch in the PHP code somewhere that I created by just dragging and dropping entire directories, or do I need to manually recreate this table and consider our entire upload log lost?
If I need to recreate it, I'll need a walkthrough on what tables/attributes I need to create.

I found the mediawiki page that described the logging table, and managed to stumble my way through recreating it. Looks like we just lost our entire logging table. Oh well, not like anything was under investigation at that time.

Just tried to upload another picture, and apparently it wasn't enough to recreate the table.
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:(SQL query hidden)
from within function "LogPage::saveContent". MySQL returned error "1062: Duplicate entry 'upload-1-6' for key 1 (localhost)".
How do I get out of this problem now?
--67.40.151.244 15:28, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Mistook the key type from the page I got the table info from (Logging table) and had the field wrong. The SQL command DESCRIBE `logging` was telling me that my keys were PRI when they were supposed to be MUL. Got the change made and the upload worked like a charm. The lesson: Let the wiki's installation scripts do all the table creation for you. :)

ImageMagick don't make thumbnails, but the directory is created with good rights. I have ImageMagick 6.3.2 and Fedora 7 with SELinux disabled. My localsettings.php are OK
$wgEnableUploads = true;
$wgUseImageMagick = true; $wgUseImageResize = true;
$wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert";
I have this error on my http log : ulimit4.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
I have the shell /bin/bash on my machine
I have remove end of line from this file and now I have bin/ulimit4.sh: line 4: 1 : ambiguous redirect
I have done this file conversion for all files in bin directory of the wiki (from CRLF to LF) Now it works. It would be nice to add this to the Troubleshoot guide about thumbnail creation.
Now, I have restarted SELinux and it works good.

I just upgraded my MediaWiki installation to that latest version. The installation went just fine. However, when I browse to the wiki's root page, nothing renders, I just get a blank page.
For example: www.mydomain.com/wiki/ doesn't render anything But on the other hand: www.mydomain.com/wiki/index.php5?title=Main_Page works as it did before.
What gives?

Hello All,
I am from Malayalam Wikipedia. We are having a problem with Special page in Malayalam Wikipedia. I approached English wikipedia and had a discussion regarding this in my talk page. See w:en:User_talk:Shijualex#Special_Pages_in_local_wikis for details.
We are trying to create the special upload pages as in the English Wikipedia (w:en:Wikipedia:Upload). As an experiment we started with the upload page http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=en-ownwork. We have done all possible options to get the page as in English Wikipedia. Everything worked out fine but we have some problem with the License drop down list.
We are able to create the special page for uploading in Malayalam Wikipedia. As an experiment we have created/mofified the special upload page that is avaiable at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=en-ownwork in English Wikipedia. See the corresponding page in Malayalam Wikipedia at http://ml.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=en-ownwork.
But the license part is still creating problem. The license that is used in English wiki is available at w:en:MediaWiki:Licenses/en-ownwork. We have created the same license in Malayalam Wiki. See that at w:ml:MediaWiki:Licenses/en-ownwork. But still the license drop down list in this special page is showing the licenses that are defined at w:ml:MediaWiki:Licenses. We want this special page to show the same licenses as in English Wikipedia. How can we achieve this? Thanks in advance.

...here's a couple of good links to youtube firebug tutorials at OrganicDesign:Firefox --Nad 09:12, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks so much for your help Nad...will get cracking on it now...:>)
Nad, on inspecting it through firebug, the first image isnt part of the galleryarray. It seems like the glob loads all images from the panorama folder in the following format:
var galleryarray = new Array(); galleryarray[0]='panorama/Panoramic.jpg'; galleryarray[1]='panorama/namibie_desert.jpg'; galleryarray[2]='panorama/qnljis_weimaraner.jpg'; galleryarray[3]='panorama/roadofnoreturn2.jpg'; galleryarray[4]='panorama/vervet_monkey.jpg';
Excellent progress :-) it must be that same old function that's the problem then because that's where galleryarray gets its values, does the FAKEPATH experiment show up in the galleryarray?
<?php
global $IP;
$images = glob(dirname(__FILE__).'/panorama/*.jpg'); # or $IP/skins/.....panaroma/*.jpg
foreach ($images AS $k=>$v) $images[$k] = ereg_replace("^$IP","/",$v); # note another fix, this needs to be / not empty (I think)
$indx = 0;
$init_pic = $images[array_rand($images)];
foreach($images AS $pic)
{
echo "galleryarray[$indx]='$pic';
";
$indx++;
}
?>
The dirname must be correct because it's getting the correct list of images, but the conversion from the internal path to the external one isn't quite working. --Nad 10:24, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Nad :>) Okay....would like to give you a summary: :>)
Correct GuMax.php location /var/www/html/mediawiki/skins
Correct Panorama location /var/www/html/mediawiki/skins With:
$images = glob('$IP/skins/panorama/*.jpg');
No Image displayed --> right click on div ----> http://fire/mediawiki/skins/gumax/ (This is what its pointing to for some reason)
With:
$images = glob('/panorama/*.jpg');
First load---> image is displayed --> path still wrong though --> http://fire/mediawiki/skins/gumax/panorama/vervet_monkey.jpg
Subsequent images point to http://fire/mediawiki/index.php/panorama/test.jpg
First image loaded ---> http://fire/mediawiki/skins/gumax/panorama/vervet_monkey.jpg
with
$images = glob('panorama/*.jpg');
Subsequent images fail ----> http://fire/mediawiki/index.php/panorama/vervet_monkey.jpg
with
still set at
$images = glob('panorama/*.jpg');
Dummy entry for
$images = glob('FAKE/*.jpg');
On page load ----> nothing displayed ---> pointing to: http://fire/mediawiki/skins/gumax/
Subsequent images after first one
---> http://fire/mediawiki/index.php/undefined
If I try:
$images = glob('skins/gumax/panorama/*.jpg');
On page load ----->http://fire/mediawiki/skins/gumax/skins/gumax/panorama/mono_lake_936x267.jpg
Subsequent images ---> http://fire/mediawiki/index.php/skins/gumax/panorama/roadofnoreturn2.jpg
If I try:
$images = glob(dirname(__FILE__).'panorama/*.jpg'); # or $IP/skins/.....panaroma/*.jpg
On page load: http://fire/mediawiki/skins/gumax/ ----> No picture
Subsequent images: http://fire/mediawiki/index.php/undefined
Nad!
In FireFox, if I put a dummy entry in for
$images = glob('FAKE/*.jpg'); The array returned is still
ar galleryarray = new Array(); galleryarray[0]='panorama/Panoramic.jpg'; galleryarray[1]='panorama/namibie_desert.jpg'; galleryarray[2]='panorama/qnljis_weimaraner.jpg'; galleryarray[3]='panorama/roadofnoreturn2.jpg'; galleryarray[4]='panorama/vervet_monkey.jpg';
The image loads on first load, then the status quo.
If I now load up IE, if I keep this same fake entry, no pic and path points to http://fire/mediawiki/skins/gumax/.
If I change back the path to $images = glob('panorama/*.jpg');, the image returns on first load.
I feel defeated on this...but ill keep trying.
Nad I tried your updated code...
Path I get now is ---> http://skins/panorama/death_valley_flowers_panorama.jpg
When the code is:
<?php
global $IP;
$images = glob(dirname(__FILE__).'/panorama/*.jpg'); # or $IP/skins/.....panaroma/*.jpg
foreach ($images AS $k=>$v) $images[$k] = ereg_replace("^$IP","/",$v); # note another fix, this needs to be / not empty (I think)
$indx = 0;
$init_pic = $images[array_rand($images)];
foreach($images AS $pic)
{
echo "galleryarray[$indx]='$pic';
";
$indx++;
}
?>
Nad I did a test.
I wanted to see why skins/gumax was being placed in the path. So I went to my other machine, and copied the code directly into Monobook.php, and loaded this skin. I created a folder called Panorama in skins/panorama. When I loaded the page, I saw the following:
http://localhost/mediawiki/skins/monobook/C:/wamp/www/mediawiki/skins/panorama/death_valley_flowers
It looks like whatever skin you use, it will automatically put in /skins/<skin_folder> ???? It looks like something is calling the skin folder whatever skin you use.
So, on first load:
http://fire/mediawiki/skins/gumax/panorama/namibie_desert.jpg ---> picture displayed. where the skins/gumax is loaded, but this isnt part of the array. Then on subsequent loads, the /skins/gumax is not loaded, thus:
http://fire/mediawiki/index.php/panorama/vervet_monkey.jpg and no picture.
Nad, I cant thank you enough for all your help. Im still working on this :>)
What I did find is that if, in the div section for the panorama, where I want to echo out the random image files, if I hardcode the path to the panorama folder, then hardcode an image name, this works. It looks like it is just the variable now that I have to sort. I can hardcode the full path to the panorama folder, so I just need a way to return JUST the random image name variable to append to the full path, and then it will work 100%. I dont know how to do this part though.
So, I have the following........
<?php echo '<img src="http://fire/mediawiki/skins/panorama/' . imagename.jpg. '" />'; ?> -->
The above works fine
What I need to be able to do is to just have the imagename.jpg returned as a variable, instead of hard coding this. I can keep the first part (http://fire/mediawiki/skins/panorama/), but just need to somehow return the imagename as a variable.
Is anyone doing any work on the addition of microformat [3] support to MediaWiki, either to facilitate their use by editors, in articles, or as part of MediaWiki itself, such as for user-profiles?

Hi. Like Wikipedia my wiki uses a software which rasterizes SVG graphics into bitmaps but the results of it are different than the ones you can see on wikipedia. For example, I copied the following file to my wiki: de.wikipedia.org/.../Bild:Nuvola_apps_important.svg which on this wiki looks like on wikipedia:
On my wiki the gradient looks weird.
I use ImageMagick to rasterize the SVG.
Does anybody know what to use to achieve the same results like on wikipedia or this wiki ?

Thank you. My original confusion was that Manual:LocalSettings.php says to never edit DefaultSettings.php, but rather copy the line & modify it in LocalSettings.php. But Manual:$wgSitename says it "should always be changed from the DefaultSettings.php". Now I'm even more confused about the MetaNamespace. So would someone please clarify a) where it should be changed (Default or Local), and now b) whether I'm changing the SiteName or the MetaNamespace? I'm not concerned with changing the databasename (we'll only have one wiki), and the install is brand new (no data yet). But I don't want the darned typo in the Wiki Name to be repeated/perpetuated all over the site. Next purchase - a keyboard that can spell ;-) Assistance please. Thank you!

Hello Community,
I am the administrator of a wiki (soon to be family of wikis) - the first node can be found at eq.knowledgepit.org - it's intended to be an encyclopedic wiki for everything EverQuest. My intention is to do this with all the MMOs out there (eventually, one thing at a time ;)), WoW being the next in my sights. I've already done quite a bit of extension code (and, admittedly, even a couple small hacks modifying MediaWiki core code), and I've been through and through the code just unable to find an answer to my question without bothering you guys ;)
Because of the ever-changing item and spell (and other) databases associated with games like this, I picked up dumps of the community's open-source databases for EQ's items and spells. I wrote up extensions for these (exhibited at Special:ItemSearch and Special:SpellSearch, for reference), and I set up maintenance scripts to update the two databases with dumps of LUCY's spell database and 13th-floor's item database. Both are open-source, naturally.
These maintenance scripts spit out summaries of their changes, for my knowledge (and, admittedly, for debugging ;)); I'd like to be able to create articles containing these summaries rather than just displaying them to my browser. Is there any way to do this using MediaWiki's internal code? If not, exactly what process should I go achieve it? I'd imagine it would be something along the lines of "insert row into `page` table; insert row into `revision` table; insert row into `text` table; insert row into `recentchanges` table; insert rows into `pagelinks`/`imagelinks`/`categorylinks`/`templatelinks` tables, as needed". Is this somewhat close to the due process?
Thank you for your assistance,

Any reason why the job queue length on a wiki would be stuck at 1? When changes are made to templates, it jumps up as it should, until all the changes are made to the pages that include that (and so on). But, the stats page eventually stops at 1 and does not fall to zero anymore. It use to, though not sure if that has happened since it was upgraded to 1.10.1 or at some point after that. --Dr DBW | talk 05:49, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi - I have a MediaWiki Wiki where as sysop I am trying to load in hundreds of jpg images, and then create the pages via importing an xml containing the descriptions etc. Images are manually placed in images directory and thumbnails made, but I can't then synchronise the imported xml - the new pages don't display the images. To build the database links, I've tried: php maintenance\rebuildImages.php >& images.log & and php maintenance\rebuildImages.php --missing >& images.log & This doesn't seem to work. The manual pages don't really cover image files. Any comments or advice welcome! MediaWiki: 1.10.0, PHP: 5.1.6 (apache2handler), MySQL: 5.0.22 — Gaudete 13:19, 4 October 2007 (UTC)=

I'm having difficulties hacking the MW skin layer to integrate a common header and footer using mod_include / server side include directives. I am integrating MW with a Drupal site and the SSI work properly for Drupal, but are simply printed to the browser in Mediawiki. For various reasons we would like to use mod_include for this instead of just php includes if possible. I've been searching for a few days for any reason why this might be but have no idea so far. it seems like MW emits the page to the browser in a way that causes Apache to just ignore the ssi directives:
<!--#include virtual="/_tmpl/header/test" -->

I was doing some maintenance on the MySQL database that houses my mediawiki. I wanted to install a newer version of MySQL due to problems I was having with the one that comes with Solaris 10. Long story short, I can't get any of my articles. Is there a way to recover the database from backups? If so does anyone here know where I can get some pointers on doing that?

See below:
Here's what's happening:
When you call index.php with directory structure links the browser treats it like you're actually in a folder with that name. Javascript is interpreted client-side, so if the browser is tricked, then the script is going to point the wrong place.
Solution: It works on index.php?key=var then you just need to make a your image links absolute, so it won't matter if the browser thinks it's looking at the inside a subfolder.

{
echo "galleryarray[$indx]='/fire/mediawiki/$pic';\n";

Hi,
I am experiencing some difficulty with the extension ParserFunction and HTML. Specifically, I created a template for a table which checks if an image parameter is specified (and then produces a new row with the image, if it exists):
{{#if: {{{image|}}} |
<tr><td align="center" style="background:#efefef;"> [[Image:{{{image}}}|250px|{{{caption}}}]]<br> ''{{{caption}}}'' </td></tr>
}}
However, when I load the calling page with the appropriate parameters, I seem to be getting hard-coded parsed tags instead:
<tr><td align="center" style="background:#efefef;"> <a href="image-location" class="image" title="img-title"><img alt="image-alt" src="image-location" width="250" height="332" border="0" /></a><br /> <i>caption</i> </td></tr>
Any clue on what might be wrong? I am using MediaWiki 1.11.0, PHP 5.2.4, and MySQL 5.0.24a.
Thanks! —David 02:47, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
|-
| align="center" style="background:#efefef;" | [[Image:{{{image}}}|250px|{{{caption}}}]]<br> ''{{{caption}}}''
Then you can make a table from it like this example:

{{Row|image=first.svg|caption=foo}}
{{Row|image=second.svg|caption=bar}}
|}

Hi there! My problem: I tried to upgrade an old version (1.4.5) to the current version 1.11.0. I used the command line update script. First, I used "php5 upgrade1_5.php", and after that "php5 update". Both steps went flawlessly, but when I try to open any page now, the content is missing. It is even not included in the HTML output. However, the content is actuelly there, since it can be found in the database and if I click the "edit" link of any missing article, all text content is available in the edit-textbox. Still, it does not appear in the "View article" mode. Editing an old version and saving it won't help either. However, NEW articles which are created after the update, can be seen.

I've managed to install a wiki using my Windows XP computer, but I don't see any directions on how to copy all the files needed for extensions other than the instructions that assume a Unix shell. I could manually copy them file-by-file, but that seems pretty painful. Is this information available anywhere? Can someone point me to the right place?
It is frustrating to be hung up by something that seems fairly basic. As someone who has very little of the specific knowledge that is assumed by the authors of these pages, I'd hope to add text to this site that assists uses like myself. Setting up a wiki, customizing it, and maintaining it does not require mastery of Unix, PHP, or MySQL. If adding extensions does, that is unfortunate.
It also seems that many of the commonly used extensions could be added to the basic package used for the initial installation. The installation script could ask if you want to use these extensions. It seems like the extensions commonly found in WikiMedia sites would be good candidates for inclusion. As a novice, I was surprised to find that that an extension like "category tree" needs to be installed separately. --SamuelWantman 19:06, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
extensions/ folder and add the appropriate require_once (or include_once) to LocalSettings.php - that's it. Needless to say, I'm using Windows Vista currently and I really have no experience with Unix systems and how they work. Nevertheless, I have a test wiki on a USB memory stick and installing extensions - still - is as simple as I described. To install extensions such as CheckUser that require creation of new tables or SSHing up to the host, just open phpMyAdmin (assuming you have one, that is), select "SQL" and copy the appropriate info from the appropriate .sql file into the textbox and execute the SQL query and add require/include_once call to LocalSettings.php. --Sayuri 19:27, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['read'] = true;
$wgWhitelistRead = array("Main Page", 'Special:PdfPrint', 'Special:Userlogin',);
How can I get the whole content of the page? Can I somehow change the USER ID in the PdfExport.php? Any other solution?

I've been tasked with moving the Wiki from a workstation onto a server and I am not sure exactly which files need to be copied over or if I have to do a clean install on the server. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hi, I want to add functionality of "Google web master tool" in my project . Please can you guide me, Thanks in advance
Search doesn't workI'm using Mediawiki 1.11.0, php 5, mysql 5. The searchindex table is ok (and with MyISAM storage engine as i read somewhere on google), the content is indexed correctly, i can see the few pages i created on my wiki, but whenever i search for something it doesn't even say "no results found", it displays a page like this: Search results
For more information about searching Wiki, see Help.
Search in namespaces: (a lists of namespaces follows.)
I am searching for long words that certainly exist (page titles, for example) and the 3-chars problem is not my case. I also tried to select every namespace. Everything else works correctly, how do I solve that? Thanks
Hi Nad, thank you for your answer here. I went through the MediaWiki:Common.css and see the portion that includes:
/* Removes underlines from links */
nounderlines a {
text-decoration: none;
}
Can't figure out how to do it. Where do I add class="plainlinks"? — PM Poon 16:06, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Nad, seems like you are the only one left to keep this support desk alive. I guess without you, there will be no further questions, LOL.
I added:
*/
.plainlinks a.external {
background: none ! important;
padding: 0 ! important;
}
to Commons.css but it didn't work. Just trying my luck since I do not know the correct codes. — PM Poon 06:50, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Is it possible to have a user group of privileged users, ad then flag some pages in Mediawiki to only be viewable by that group? I have a business need to do that, to keep some pages within managers. If that's not possible, I'm going to have to put a second wiki up and control it using htaccess to make it private, and then interwiki between the two wikis. But I think that's horrible, I'd love to be able to flag some pages as private and specify a group of people that are allowed to see private pages.

Hi, how can I make the Main Page more lively by adding automatically the titles of the latest five or ten NEW articles without doing it manually? As it is, I have managed to automate "Featured Article" so that it changes by itself every first day of the week (an idea copied from Wikipedia). — PM Poon 10:22, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

In MediaWiki the file history is provided as a table like here. The MediaWiki installation which I've to administrate (MediaWiki: 1.10.1, PHP: 5.1.2) provides a formatted list instead. I tried to manipulate the file ImagePage.php using the documentation for ImageHistoryList but failed, probably because I don't know PHP very well. I also searched for hooks but couldn't find one. Is there a way to get the table-like presentation of the file history? Thanks in advance fpor any help. —ThT 09:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I've installed mediawiki successfull. But when I follow the the link to my wiki, all I get is a blank page. Mediawiki says in the status-bar that it has directed to the main page. Mediawiki directs to the file index.php5 an this files includes the following script (in php) Before installation I had a problem with the .php extension (it had to be transformed to php5).

New Install - I've just installed media wiki on my webspace. It used a MySQL database and I let the install scripts set the DB up.
Once installed clicking on the edit button in each section allows correct operation, i.e. I can edit, preview changes etc and they will get saved. However, if I click on the edit page tab at the top and make edits there, when submitting or previewing it takes me back to the top level landing page on the website and the edits aren't saved. Any thought on why this might be?

I installed MediaWiki 1.9 earlier this year and all worked well. I hadn't used it in a while until yesterday, and all I got on the link was a blank page. I thought perhaps it needed an upgrade, so I upgraded to 1.11. The upgrade went well, but still blank on the home page. I then installed a whole new copy into a separate folder, with new table prefixes, the install went well, but still blank on the home page.
I'm sure it's probably something on my end somewhere, but I've exhausted my limited knowledge of what it could possibly be. Does anyone have any idea as to what I could try?

Is it possible to integrate MediaWiki into another Webpage? Most of the website in question is working with a proprietary CMS. The task is to build a glossary on a wiki base, that should integrate with the rest of the webpage. I recon it would be easy using a frame or Iframe, but that is not really an option. It should integrate into the page layout without frames (I recon that is because the website is commercial, and all the ads have to be in the right place). Has it been tried before? What kind of changes / installation measures would be necessary? I don't even know yet whether the CMS is running on a Unix or Windows server :( Mrdslave 12:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
I upgraded my postgres database from 8.1 to 8.2 this weekend. The upgrade seemed to go perfectly. I was able to view and navigate through my wiki pages. However, as soon as I attempted tomodify a page, I got the following error

Why doesn't MediaWiki contain a profanity filter than can be turned on/off in the LocalSettings.php? I think this would be very useful. So far I haven't even been able to find an extension for it. Is it just not important to other people? —65.44.168.226 15:47, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Hello,
I'm wanting to have data from a Excel spreadsheet displayed on my MediaWiki page. When that spreadsheet is updated, it would be most useful to have the wiki page updated automatically, but I would be fine with a procedure for me to push the updated info to the wiki server.
So, I need to be able to:
1. Read and extract info from the Excel spreadsheet.
2. Display it as part of a wiki page
3. Have some mechanism for relatively painlessly sending updates from the spreadsheet to the wiki page.
Thank you,
-Adrian

Nobody responded, so I took action and upgraded to 1.11. Now the wiki is up and fine, but it does not connect to the old database. The new wiki does not recognize any of the old files in the database. Still the base name and user and pass are the same. Old local settings do not work. Following upgrade instructions didn't work with setting and restoring the permissions for the config-folder. I shouldn't touch the permissions of the folder, then everything installs. Entire wiki gone now. Nevertheless does MYSQL offer all the old files. How can I make the new wiki recognize the old files? What to do? Anybody a suggestion?-213.84.172.15 15:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
The problem is that i can't manage the shell management with a CLI as advised. The Shell-program suggested at Manual:Upgrading MediaWiki is too critical to be useful. It doesn't connect to the upgrade.php. For the reinstallation-option turns the message: "When the installation process starts, the script will detect existing MediaWiki tables, and upgrade their schema." out to be false: my new installation doesn't connect to the old database at all. Not with the same names used. How can I address the upgrade.php. now in order to restore the wiki to the database I installed 1.11? What is the correct procedure now having upgraded from 1.62? I'm stuck here...-213.84.172.15 17:16, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

We answered this question already, we have php 5 at our MSQLserver, but somehow this post disappeared. So here it is again: still ( a month later) we do not connect to the database and have an empty Wiki. Reinstalling the old version, or the new one, does not result in reconnecting to the present database. Nor does reloading the base from the backup we neatly made before hand. We simply cannot address the upgrade php. We tried two shell consoles. 1 - the msql shell gives an error message. The directions given at the upgrade page do not apply to the msql query console. 2. the PHPShell program 2.1 advised to use at the upgrade page does not address the Upgrade.php either. More shell management we do not know of. All efforts failed as yet. A standard procedure within mediawiki would be more effective I guess. Is there any option left before we finally have to abandon this wiki completely? (by the way for the new Wiki the [edit] links show left in stead of right, and the installation of the Java toolbar edit buttons is unclear and doesn't work)-213.84.172.15 10:16, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
We are very sorry nobody can help us with this. We have given up and are now working with PmWiki with a monobook interface. A terrible lot of work to convert all the old pages from the database to the new ones for this wiki that works from the server. But we're up again. Looks almost like the media wiki install before!

I'm interested in switching from the hashed directory/URL structure for uploaded files to the flat one, on an existing wiki. Obviously one of the steps is to set $wgHashedUploadDirectory to false, but that's the easy part.
Manual:$wgHashedUploadDirectory states "This parameter can not be changed after the first image or file has been uploaded (or you need to move all previous uploaded pictures)", but it doesn't say how you would go about moving the pictures/files.
Is it sufficient (assuming favorable conditions: small wiki with complete control, possibility to ensure there are no edits and uploads during maintenance, etc.) to go to the file system and move all images/*/*/foo.png files to images/foo.png, all images/thumb/*/*/foo.png files to images/thumb/foo.png, all images/archive/*/*/foo.png files to images/archive/foo.png and all images/temp/*/*/foo.png files to images/temp/foo.png?
Thanks in advance.

How can I write Articles that do not start with a capital letter? For example log4j starts an article named "Log4j". But I want to have one that is called "log4j". Do I need a MediaWiki Plugin or something? —PMay 17:23, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Problem: on pages (in our company's internal MediaWiki-based site) where I'm adding links to an external book service, I'm getting a lot of questions from other users on how to sign up for the subscription service. Unfortunately when they click through the URLs directly to the book service, it doesn't give them any indication of how to subscribe if they aren't already subscribed.
On all pages where URLs for the book service appear, I'd like to automatically include a "sidebar", References link or some other recognizable callout. This way, the page will automatically include instructions like "Having trouble accessing the subscription content at the external links? Please go [here] to sign up."
I've experimented with Templates and they're helpful , but only when I explicitly edit each page and manually insert the Template tag. However, I'd like to avoid having to track down all such pages as they're added by colleagues, strangers, etc. - I'd prefer that the Wiki server add this "sidebar" text + link as soon as someone adds one of these URLs to any page.
I.E. I'd like to enable some sort of "automation" that would recognize when the page contains a URL with one or more specific FQDNs (such as the book service's FQDN), and to automatically append this "sidebar" text to the page's content. [I'd even be happy to generate the Template that would contain the inserted text, but I'd rather not have to manually insert that Template every time it's used.]
Request: can anyone tell me whether there's an extensibility capability already in the MediaWiki software that would allow me to do this -- without having administrative privileges on the server? I'm hoping there's something feature similar to Templates, that the end user can generate themselves, that would allow this kind of "auto-append" to work. [If there's a commonly-used add-on for MediaWiki that uses this I'd be interested in that too, since it's possible we're using some of the more common add-ons here.]
Thanks for any tips or hints you might have.—134.134.136.4 20:38, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

if (ereg('http://www.foo.bar',$text)) $wgSiteNotice .= "{{MyMessage}}";

I have followed the instructions and installed MediaWiki in /wiki directory of Web root. I have enabled short URLs. Everything works fine except for one thing: when I type the start URL of the Wiki, i.e.
http://example.com/wiki/
it always loads the URL
http://example.com/wiki/Main_page
regardless of what I enter in MediaWiki:mainpage
How can I make the start page point at anything but Main_page?
first i set up the sidebar and everything is running fine, after that i add $wgCapitalLinks = false; to the LocalSettings.php.
then mediawiki dont cares about the MediaWiki:Sidebar. (Sidebar)
delete and recreate takes no effect. the same with remove $wgCapitalLinks = false; delete and recreate.
another problem is that it seems to show just a few minutes after installation the main site if i enter the diretory in the browser.
after i get a site containing:
l<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD> <BODY></BODY></HTML>
and just if i type index.php5 the main site was loaded. i check it serval times and at the last wone i dont change anything after installation.
hmm i dosent know the code of mediawiki,
so i often try to solve it with a reinstallation,
if i can't locate the error.
and this taks much effort uff,
so i hope you may give my some answer.

Hi folks,
I hope someone can give me a hand with, what is probably, a schoolboy error.
I'm installing 1.11.0 onto Redhat, PHP5 (5.2.4) and MySQL5 (5.0.45). I have copied the files across, created the db, changed permissions as advised, open browser to index and clicked on the link to setup. However, I get the following error from the file : /wiki/config/index.php5 :
A file permissions error has occurred. Please check the permissions on the script and the directory it is in and try again.
As advised on the install manual [use 755 (Use 777 on Linux except for RedHat Linux)] I've made sure the permissions are correct. I've tried this on 2 different service providers and keep getting the same error, so I must be missing something simple. I can and have installed other PHP apps with these providers before.
Any advice would be appreciated.

One frequently asked question is "how to make pretty portals with boxes and stuff". So, maybe we could have a little howto at Help:Portals about that? Starting with simple layouts using tables and/or divs, then going to templates, and eventually covering techniques for complex multilingual portals, like the mainpage on this wiki?
I'm posting this here, because I don't feel like i can give a very good explanation of this, besides "read your favorite HTML manual"... maybe someone else can? Where are the wizards who built the main page? -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 16:01, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Can someone tell me what I need to edit to change how the printed output looks? The default "Printable View" is almost perfect; I just want to remove the name of my Wiki and the extra footer information that is inserted. I want just the article, with headings, table of contents, etc., without meta information about my wiki. If I can get this working, I can simply print the articles to a PDF printer. I need to remove the 4 bits I don't want, namely the title, the URL, the date, and the page number.

How can mediawiki installed on my PC accessed by other computers in my network. -Ram —72.163.216.217 08:21, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey.
I've tried finding the answer to this question both through searching on Google and looking through your help sources, but I cannot find the answer.
I am using MediaWiki as the backend for my web site. As such, I've disallowed edits except for a special user group which I am the only member of. However, I would like users who have registered to be able to freely edit the talk pages, since I would like discussion around my material to be allowed. I tried the following configuration:
# Permissions $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createtalk'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['move'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['createtalk'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['upload'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['reupload'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['reupload-shared'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['minoredit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['editor']['edit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['editor']['createpage'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['editor']['createtalk'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['editor']['upload'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['editor']['reupload'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['editor']['reupload-shared'] = true;
It says that "createtalk" is allowed for 'user', but if I try to go to an unstarted talk page, it says "The action you have requested is limited to users in the group Sysops.". Even if the talk page is already started, I only get to view the source.
How can I make it so users cannot edit articles, but can freely edit talk pages? Thanks.

- Even simpler follow the suggestions given at http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4537 and it works like a charm for me
I'm making a template that I can use in my news articles that go like this:
Leave a [{{fullurl:{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>TALKPAGENAME}}}}?action=edit§ion=new comment] on this news article or [[{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>TALKPAGENAME}}|read others' comments]]
turns into this:
comment on this news article or read others' comments
However, it's a clumsy solution, because a) It uses an external link to link internally, just to get the "§ion=new" part, and b) It has to be subst-ed, as it uses a variable that changes when the news article itself is included on other pages.
Is there a less hacky and more convenient way to tie this together to a non-subst-ed non-external-linked solution that would allow the use of variables, even when included as a template on other pages?

This is my second mediawiki install, the first one on an ISP using MySQL went flawlessly. This one is on CentOS:
# uname -a Linux teki.ucsf.edu 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP Thu Mar 15 19:57:35 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux #
This one is on PostgreSQL, 'cause I have (sometimes) support for it here at work:
PostgreSQL 8.1.4 on i686-redhat-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 20061011 (Red Hat 4.1.1-30) (1 row)
PHP:
rpm -q php php-5.1.6-5.el5
First I tried using the superuser account, which I could not use in my previous ISP install:
Checking environment...
Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems.
* PHP 5.1.6 installed

* PHP server API is apache2handler; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title)

* PHP's memory_limit is 16M. Attempting to raise limit to 20M... ok.
* Couldn't find Turck MMCache, eAccelerator, APC or XCache; cannot use these for object caching.
* Found GNU diff3: /usr/bin/diff3.
* Found ImageMagick: /usr/bin/convert; image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads.

* Environment checked. You can install MediaWiki.

* Database type: PostgreSQL
* Loading class: DatabasePostgres
* Attempting to connect to database "postgres" as superuser "root"... error: No database connection
( I tried this both with "root" and another username that has superuser privleges; in both cases I get red messages below saying "check username" "and password".)
Then, as in my previous install,I created the schema first (albiet this time I used "createuser" and "createdb" at the command line instead of the ISP's control panel). This time the install script ends with:
Generating configuration file... * Database type: PostgreSQL * Loading class: DatabasePostgres * Attempting to connect to database "wikidb" as "wikiuser"... error: No database connection
This time I don't get the red messages next to the superuser username and password fields, but in both cases I get the red message next to the "database host" field saying "Could not connect to database" or "could not connect to database as superuser" when I'm trying it as superuser. In that field, I've left it as the default most of the time ("localhost") and also tried "127.0.0.1".
I know practically nothing about using db's, but the page said the user had to have SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE priveleges, so I tried this and tried the install button again:
wikidb=# GRANT select ON mediawiki TO wikiuser wikidb-# GRANT insert ON mediawiki TO wikiuser wikidb-# GRANT update ON mediawiki TO wikiuser wikidb-# GRANT delete ON mediawiki TO wikiuser wikidb-#
...but no luck.

What does one have to do to change the message that appears at the bottom of "action=edit" pages. E.g. the message that's there by default is something like:
"Please note that all contributions ... (stuff under control of some other settings) .... If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then don't submit it here. You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource. DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION!"
How does one replace that with something else? —Aldaron 22:52, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Just wondering if there is may be an error of some sort in the processing of templates. On a normal wiki page, if you have a single return at the end of a line, then a new line starts on the very next line, the text is processed and displayed as a continuous line.

On a normal wiki page, if you have a single return at the end of a line, then a new line starts on the very next line, the text is processed and displayed as a continuous line. Such as this paragraph, which actually looks like this on the editing page:
However, a similar thing does not happen with a template. I have some templates set up that look something like this:
Some text goes here, that is the text of the template that is inserted into the page. <noinclude> [[Category:Somename]] </noinclude>
I assume that when you include that template in a page, it should continue on the very next line. However, it doesn't, it actually gets inserted something like this ....
Here is some text, after which we are inserting the template. Some text goes here, that is the text of the template that is inserted into the page. Then this is the text after the template, which has a blank line between it and the template.
Should it actually be doing things like that? If so, makes life a bit difficult in terms of readability of the template if you have to have the noinclude stuff all on the same line as the last line of the template --Dr DBW | talk 01:38, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
<noinclude> tage is honoured, so that is why it happens. So have to have that tag right on the end of the last line of the text in the template. Makes it a bit less readable, but fixes the issue. --Dr DBW | talk 04:53, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

It isn't clear to me how much of what Wikipedia provides is part of MediaWiki and how much has been added over time by Wikipedia contributors. I know that's an open ended question, and clearly a lot of functionality has been added to Wikipedia that's not present in MediaWiki, but I'm wondering, specifically, for example, about support for citations. Is there any in MediaWiki? There seem to be no citation templates built in. Is that correct? Is there a simple way to duplicate Wikipedia's rich citation functionality in a MediaWiki wiki? More generally, are there sources for "packages" that can be added to MediaWiki that duplicate Wikipedia functionality? I know about the "extensions". What I'm curious about is what the preferred mode for adding missing Wikipedia functions to bare MediaWiki. Is it really necessary, for example, to copy one template at a time, or are there packages that collect sets of related templates in one place? —Aldaron 03:48, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
I have migrated my mediawiki installation from Windows to Linux (SuSe10). After migration some pages with underscores are now missing.
Example:
http://localhost/index.php?title=TRB_032_05 --------- does not work on Linux
http://localhost/index.php?title=TRB_032 ------------ Works on Linux & windows
Both above pages work on the Windows Installation.
My two systems are as follows:
Windows2003 - PHP Version 5.2.4 - Latest MediaWiki
Linux Suse10 - PHP Version 5.1.2 - Latest MediaWiki
So to me looks like page names with two underscores and maybe long names are not working.
How can I trouble shoot this problem. I want to check if the page is in database and somehow display it with maybe an database ID.
any help is welcomed !!!

What's the best place to look for packages of functionality to extend the features of MediaWiki? I know about "extensions" but I'm especially interested in how people go about reproducing functionality that Wikipedia supports that's not built-in to MediaWiki. For example, Wikipedia has rich support for a variety of citation and reference functionality, especially in the form of Templates. Is the right way to transfer this to another MediaWiki wiki to simply copy all the relevant templates one-by-one? This is challenging when (an in this example) the templates are intricately related (and even appear to have some underlying code). —Aldaron 17:07, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I have got a strange problem. I added my own sidebar under the navigation-menue. Into this sidebar I put links to other articles. All this works fine but I get into trouble when the article I'm linking to has got an ampersand (&) in its name. The text in the sidebar looks as follows:
* Ähnliche Artikel\n ** http://localhost/dewiki/index.php/AT%26T?action=purge|AT&T\n ** http://localhost/dewiki/index.php/General_Motors?action=purge|General_Motors\n ** ...
I replace each "&" in the link by "%26" to get a working URL. The link works but the name of the article/link of the first entry ("AT&T") isn't displayed correctly. Instead of "AT/T" mediawiki changes the name to
"<AT&T>"
Somehow mediawiki seems to have a problem with the "&" and therefore seems to add "<" at the beginning respectively ">" at the end of the text which links to the article.
Has anybody got an idea how to solve this?

That will allow the MediaWiki:Sidebar article to be proper wikitext. You will have to turn off TOC and section-editing and add the proper CSS styles to the content to make it look like a normal portlet, so your MediaWiki:Sidebar article will have to look something like the following example after the change:

Alright, I am really very very confused right now. I installed MediaWiki version 1.11.0, and now I want to stop anonymous users from editing my files. I have seen various pages on how to do it, but they keep talking about version 1.6 and 1.5, and I thought I had the latest version. I got very confused on that. Then I read about this variable:
$wgGroupPermissions
Wich I can't find anywhere, it said version 1.6 and up, so I searched for the veriable for 1.5 and below, wich is:
$wgWhitelistAccount
But I can't find that one anywhere either.

Regarding caching, I was wondering how to go about using MediaWiki's object cache code. I assume MediaWiki abstracts the underlying cache systems (memcahed, APC, DB cache, etc), and was just wondering what class I would need to call to do some basic object caching. I can figure it out from there with the help of the code documentation, just need to be pointed at the right class ;)

The default seach/display option is 20 per page, and 50 per page So displaid are only 50 assets and navigation next 50 and so on is available You can change this in your prerences. e.g. to 10000 Than you just can scroll to the results, much more user friendly.
Mine suggestion is: make 1000 the default value.

<div>This is the left part this is the right part</div>
How come?

Szenario: A wiki-user can upload a .avi video-file. On the server ffmpeg encodes it as a flv. Now I want to send this flv (via post-request / powered by zend framework) into the wiki-upload-form. Is it possible? After my script is finished nothing has happend (see code).
I have the following php-Script (including ZEND-Framework):
<?php
require_once 'Zend/Http/Client.php';
$client = new Zend_Http_Client();
$client->setUri('http://wiki/index.php/Special:Upload');
$client->setConfig(array(
'maxredirects' => 0,
'timeout' => 30));
$client->setFileUpload('tmp/test.jpg', 'wpUploadFile');
$client->setParameterPost(array(
'wpSourceType' => 'file',
'wpDestFile' => 'myjpegfile.jpg',
'wpUploadDescription' => 'a little description',
'wpWatchthis' => 'false'
));
$response = $client->request('POST');
?>
Sorry for my real bad english! —217.7.129.66 17:38, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi there.
I'm trying to set up wikifarm, but I have a small problem. When clicking on submit after editting a page, I'm redirected to a strange page.
Please try it yourself at http://test.mijnwiki.be/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit
I hope I was clear enough.
Thanks in forward!

Is there a way to create pages that are responsive to arguments provided. E.g. something like "Example text {foo} and more text" that can be invoked as .../index.php...&foo=BAR to render a page "Example text BAR and more text"? —Aldaron 22:37, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I can't find texvc in my math folder although all 19 other files are present. Where can I get a copy of the said file and can I just upload a compiled file, or I have to upload first and then compile? — PM Poon 14:54, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Thank you Nad, as always. You are the only person in this whole wide world that I can really count on. My webhost simply push the problem back to me, saying "other subscribers on the same server do not face the same issue as you facing currently." The problem is now resolved.
I've just finished an installation of MediaWiki 1.11 on Windows Server 2003, IIS 6, MySQL 5.0.45, PHP 5.2.4. After getting "CGI misbehaving..." errors, I found instructions on mediawiki.org for changing to phpisapi.dll, which worked. Now when I enter the wikiname in my browser I get taken to a page titled "MediaWiki 1.11.0 Installation", at the address http://wiki/config/index.php. This contains the background skin image, but no MW flower logo, sidebar menu, etc. All there is the text: "MediaWiki 1.11.0 Installation Setup has completed, your wiki is configured.
Please delete the /config directory for extra security." (The wiki is a wikilink to wiki/index.php)
Temporarily renaming the config dir and clicking on that link brings me to a 404 page not found error (even though there is an index.php page under wwwroot/mediawiki).
Restoring the config directory again, and clicking on the link brings me to http://wiki/config/index.php/index.php?title=Main_Page
This has exactly the same text as above, including the link - but this time there isn't even background skin image, its an otherwise completely blank page.
So - what am I missing? And how do I get to a 'standard' main page complete with proper skin and sidebar that I can begin editng? Any help hugely appreciated

<?php phpinfo();?> and see if you can go to it in the browser when it's in the wiki dir. Also you said above that your main index.php file is in wwwroot/mediawiki, but it's trying to execute http://wiki/... (ie not "mediawiki"), so maybe there's an inconsistent path setting in $IP or something. --Nad 00:04, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, __NOTOC__ will remove your table of content box. That much I know! You can put it anywhere in your page, but I like to put in on my first line. — PM Poon 18:22, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Aha, eh, but i dont want to remove it. I want to add simelar boxes with my own contant in the article.
I get errors when I try to scripts that look at this file (rebuildtextindex.php), saying I'm the wrong user. What should the value set for this file be. Specifically, what user name should be provided for $wgDBadminuser? —Aldaron 19:16, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Is there a way to remove the option to create a "nickname" and to require (it's "optional" by default) a "real name" in user preferences? --Aldaron 19:41, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
I have started getting this error on index.php?title=Main_Page Fatal error: Call to a member function getText() on a non-object in /home/.hay/my.web.site/includes/SkinTemplate.php on line 529
line 529 is $title = Title::newFromText( $wgRequest->getText( 'title' ) );
I am running Mediawiki 1.11, using PHP Version 5.2.3, and MySQL version 5.0.16 I previously made some changes to SkinTemplate.php but after the error started I restored the original file to no avail.

Is there a way to insert the current (editing) user name into a page? Are there ways to do the same with the date? E.g. in a template, is there a way to get the user name automatically w/o the user having to do anything? —Aldaron 23:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
How do I hide the sidebar when the wiki read permission is disabled for non registered users? I do not want the sidebar to be visible in any way to anonymous visitors. TIA
Special System Messages ProblemI used Mediawiki 1.11 on server with this configuration : PHP Version 5.2.0-8+etch1+mysql all special pages are work except of System Messages and it leads me to a blank page.there is no apache or php error in log. How can I solve this problem?
SecurityHi, i have an Idea about Mediawiki and security. We have 3 groups which should get access to our wiki but each group should get their own rights.
I mean group 1 should only get access to some pages group 2 should get access to the sites of group 1 and some pages more and also the edit rights should be the same. (same for group 3) Group 1 should not be able to read sites which are done by group2.
Means:
My Idea is to install 3 databases. Is it possible to make 3 Mediawikis, but say in the Page(localsettings.php or what else) of Wiki2 that it can have read and edit acces in Database 1 and write read and edit access in Database 2?

Redirect loop detected!I updates mediawiki from 1.6.8 to 1.11
Now I've got the following error:
Internal error Redirect loop detected! This means the wiki got confused about what page was requested; this sometimes happens when moving a wiki to a new server or changing the server configuration. Your web server was detected as possibly not supporting URL path components (PATH_INFO) correctly; check your LocalSettings.php for a customized $wgArticlePath setting and/or toggle $wgUsePathInfo to true.

HTTP Edit Call via POSTHello,
I've been here a couple times before ;) one of those times was #Creating_a_New_Article_via_Extension_Code. The Perl script, unfortunately, did not get the job done as I had expected. It required entirely too much modification, to the point that it just wasn't worth doing. I abandoned the idea for a while, simply because I was too busy; well, now I'm back again ;)
I'm trying to do the job in PHP. I would use the pecl_http library, but I just can't get it to build in the server's shell - so I'm doing it with raw fsockopen()-based calls; doesn't make it that much more complicated. Anyway, I had it to the point that it was submitting - but the server was returning an error page, stating that the edit failed due to a loss of session data. Makes sense, since I wasn't sending it the session cookies. So I added the cookies - and now it seems to just hang; it even locks up the httpd master process, and I have to restart the daemon. Here's the code:
// $this->wpStarttime is set to date('YmdHis') at the beginning of the script.
// $imported, $updated, $updatedNum, and $unchanged are all set as parameters to the method call.
$n = "\r\n";
$data = 'wpSection=&wpStarttime=' . $this->wpStarttime . '&wpEdittime=' . date('YmdHis') . '&wpScrolltop=&wpSummary=' .
urlencode($imported . ' new spells; ' . $updated . ' updated spells (' . $updatedNum . ' total changes); ' . $unchanged . ' unchanged spells') .
'&wpSave=Save+page&wpTextbox1=' . urlencode($this->changes_str);
$r = '<pre>';
if(!$s = fsockopen('localhost', '80', $errno, $errstr, 15)) {
$r .= 'ERROR: ' . $errno . ' - ' . $errstr;
} else {
stream_set_timeout($s, 10);
fwrite($s,
'POST /wiki/index.php?title=Patch:SpellChangesByDate/' . substr($this->wpStarttime, 0, 8) . '&action=submit HTTP/1.1' . $n .
'Host: eq.knowledgepit.org' . $n .
'Cookie: kp_eq__session=' . urlencode($_COOKIE['kp_eq__session']) . '; kp_eq_Token=' . urlencode($_COOKIE['kp_eq_Token']) .
'; kp_eq_UserName=' . urlencode($_COOKIE['kp_eq_UserName']) . '; kp_eq_UserID=' . urlencode($_COOKIE['kp_eq_UserID']).
$n .
'Connection: Close' . $n .
'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' . $n .
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data) . $n . $n .
$data
);
while(!feof($s)) {
$r .= fread($s, 256);
}
}

Like I said, it works like a charm (well, sort of, it of course does not actually save the data) when I remove the cookies. Do I need to remove one of the cookies? Or add another?
Thanks for your time,
Greeting. Is it possible to add TABS in MediaWiki. Much like there's a Project Page, Discussion, Edit, and History.
I'd like to add custom tabs related to the Project Page.
Thanks. —162.119.232.109 03:54, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
What are the license implications of there various licenses under which the MediaWiki code is made available. For example, if I build a site using MediaWiki, do I still own the contents of the site, or have I released it into the PD, or under the GNU Free Documentation License? What happens if I borrow a template from Wikipedia?
Say for example, I find a template here or on Wikipedia that I like and copy it to my project. I see that the actual page defining this template is subject to whatever copyleft license applied to the original version from which it was derived, so that if someone comes across my version of the template and says they want to use it, I have to let them. Big deal, no one will be editing these templates (I can lock them) and no one would have any reason to put any valuable project-related proprietary stuff there anyway.
Here's the question though: what about all the pages that use this template? Are they "poisoned" by the license that applies to the template itself? I can't imagine that they are. That would be insane. But I want to be sure. —IsusBog 04:16, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
MySQL error 1267?Hello! I succefully install MediaWiki 1.11.0 And when I go to index.php I see that error mysql:
«Article::pageData». MySQL error «1267: Illegal mix of collations (cp1251_bin,IMPLICIT) and (latin1_swedish_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '=' (localhost)».
I occasionally use MediaWiki for maintaining todo-lists. Users can mark tasks as "done" (or add new tasks to the list). I am looking for an easier (automated) way to change the status of a task. Instead of editing the page to mark a task as "done" for example, I'd like to have an image acting as a status indicator (e.g. green checkmark for "done", red "x" for "not done"), which acts as a toggle when clicked. It should edit the status inside the article (e.g. change "status: 0" to "status: 1") whenever an user with editing rights clicks on it. Basically I'm looking for a way to automatically edit a specific part of an article by clicking an image. Is there some kind of extension for this? Or is there another way to do this?
Hi!
I needed this wiki gem for my site. I was glad to see that it supported Hungarian language. The language file seemed to be too old (many lines untranslated), so I synchronized it to the latest version 1.11.0 and completed the translation. I looked around on your site but haven't found the way to submit it. Would you give me some information?
Cheers,
Every time I click the edit button on an entry, it prompts to download a .php file at heavenswiki.adamsweb.us. What's going on? —71.221.168.219 01:39, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
