This isn't really a bug as much as something to be upgraded for a future
release of mediawiki.
I notice that when I click on the "watch" link for a particular page (at
www.peswiki.com) that the result page that confirms that the page has been
added to my watch list generates a link that says, "return to Main Page"
rather than the page that I was just on.
It would be nice if that link took me back to the page I was just on.
Mediawiki is a great program. I am deeply grateful to all those who have
helped develop it and who continue to improve it. When PES gets major
funding (pending) we plan to express that gratitude on a continual basis in
financial way to help carry our weight.

I was able to successfully integrate the AdSense code into my navigation column at PESWiki.com, and the ads are appearing, however, the click-through are not crediting to my account, according to my channel stats. They did work for a while when I first installed them two days ago. My stats show that I pulled in some clicks and revenue on Aug. 24. The site traffic has been increasing, but the AdSense stats for Aug. 25 and 26 show null.
I'm stumped. I've checked and triple checked the code, re-creating it from the Google site and trying several variations of options, inserting the code exactly as given me from Google.
Any ideas as to why it might not be functioning correctly now?
Here is an excerpt of the code as defined in the xhtml_slimp.pt file.
<div id="p-advertisement" class="portlet">
<h5>Advertisement</h5>
<div class="pBody">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-2123041442112459";
google_alternate_ad_url = "http://www.pureenergysystems.com/advertising/Google/AdSense/alt_ad.htm";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
google_ad_format = "120x600_as";
google_ad_channel ="7870537437";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "6600FF";
google_color_url = "008000";
google_color_text = "000000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</div>
</div>
When you go to check it, please be aware that it may be different from the above as I will be trying different Google settings to trouble shoot.
By the way, the alternate ad URL above did not open into a full screen when I clicked on it to test it after creating it for the first time. It opened as if in a frame in the Wiki panel, the rest of the page staying the same. What fixed that was to define target="_parent" in the hyperlinks.
Thanks,
Sterling
Greetings list users,
I'm having a slight problem with the MediaWiki system I installed.
According to documentation, I should be able to edit messages within the
language by editing pages such as MediaWiki:newpageletter, in this case to
change the way a new page is designated in the "recently updated" log.
After installing I changed the variable that names the website in
LocalSettings.php from MediaWiki to DrumCorpsWiki.
Editing neither MediaWiki:newpageletter nor DrumCorpsWiki:newpageletter
actually changes the display. The only way I found to change this page,
and others in the namespace (like the text that is displayed when a page
is not found), is to edit the language file directly. This method seems
to be frowned upon as there is a warning within the language file.
Sorry for the vagueness; I don't have the specific file names handy and
can't access them from my current location.
Please take a look and let me know if I have done something wrong.
The site where the software is installed is:
http://www.drumcorpswiki.com/
Alternatively, http://phpcgi.drumcorpswiki.com/ is the same installation
with PHP running as a CGI to get around some other issues I had with
uploading.
You can view my PHP info at http://www.drumcorpswiki.com/phpinfo.php or
http://phpcgi.drumcorpswiki.com/phpinfo.php
Thanks for your assistance!

Hi,
I have probably a very small/simple question:
I just installed IBServer (Apache, PHP and MySQL) & MetaWiki.
So far everything works fine, except for uploading files.
A page appears with the message: "uploading is disabled".
Did i miss something? What needs to be (re)configured? Where?
Thanks in advance.

You'll have to set the wiki up first!
I rename the file ³index.php² to ³localsessions.php²
You can see error message on: http://www.colasricard.net/wiki :

Hello-
We have been using MediaWiki 1.3 on MySQL 3.x for about two weeks now and
have noticed some strange search behavior with the search button.
We have a two pages:
"Migrating Old Code"
"Migration"
When performing a search for "Migrating", the results are:
Search results
For query "migrating"
No page with this exact title exists, trying full text search.
Migration 77% (****)
Nothing else is returned. It says nothing about the "Migrating Old Code"
page. At first I thought there was an issue with MediaWiki not searching
page titles, so I tried a few tests and it worked fine. I also tried
putting the word "Migrating" in the text of other pages to see if the search
results (shown above) would change. They did not...
Anyone have some thoughts on why this might be happening?

> What exactly did you do to upgrade?
> Can you provide the output from the installer?
I uploaded via FTP to the server and ran the install program. After
running it, this is the text I get with my notes in [brackets]:
• Warning: set_time_limit(): Cannot set time limit in safe mode in
/home/virtual/site7/fst/var/www/html/wiki/install-utils.inc on line 26
• PHP 4.3.3: ok
• Warning: PHP's register_globals option is enabled. [actually, it
has been disabled, but continues to report this] MediaWiki will work
correctly, but this setting increases your exposure to potential
security vulnerabilities in PHP-based software running on your server.
You should disable it if you are able.
• Warning: PHP's safe mode is active! [actually, it's off, but
continues to report this] You will likely have problems caused by this.
You may need to make the 'images' subdirectory writable or specify a
TMP environment variable pointing to a writable temporary directory
owned by you, since safe mode breaks the system temporary directory.
• PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs
(index.php/Page_Title)
• Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
• PHP's memory_limit is 8M. If this is too low, installation may
fail! Attempting to raise limit to 20M... failed.
• Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
• Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be
enabled if you enable uploads.
• Installation directory: /home/virtual/site7/fst/var/www/html/wiki
• Script URI path: /wiki
• Warning: $wgProxyKey is insecure
Note that you CANNOT just copy the old LocalSettings.php from 1.2.
I didn't copy the file. I simply filled in the new LocalSettings.php by
hand...the installer doesn't create a new LocalSettings.php when I run
it.

Hi. I'm starting to realize that templates are a great thing, and so
I'm hoping to learn more about them.
Q: is there a way to find templates on a site? I tried searching and
'special pages', but neither helped.
I'm hoping that I can learn more about good template usage by studying
examples on other sites, in much the same way as one learns to write
mediawiki content by studying the contributions of others.
Thanks.
