Dear all,
I recently installed 1.4.0 over an existing 1.3.? All went reasonably
smooth, and except for a few very small issues all seems well.
However, when I tried the new 'New Image Gallery' special page, I got the
following ouput:
>>>
Image::newFromTitle given null title
Backtrace:
Image.php line 110 calls wfdebugdiebacktrace()
SpecialNewimages.php line 87 calls image::newfromtitle()
SpecialPage.php line 309 calls wfspecialnewimages()
SpecialPage.php line 220 calls specialpage::execute()
index.php line 101 calls specialpage::executepath()
<<<
Is someone out there that has a clue?
Thanks,
Peter.
Spot on. I had a failed upload listed with no image. Simply deleting it
from the image table sorted the problem. I'm using mediawiki as the basis
of an extended family web site. The Image gallery function and the New
Image Gallery page are perfect for displaying family snaps. It makes it
easier for those with less computer skills to work with images.
Thanks

I'm working with a group to set up a new MediaWiki based wiki using
either v1.3.11 or v1.4.0 and there are currently a number of resources
either scattered around the web or on our existing web site that we'd
like to add to the wiki.
Some of these resources are glossary type content with, for example,
definitions of non-English words and phrases, jargon, and archaic
terms. The way we would like to add them is to create a separate entry
(article) for each term/phrase, using information embedded in the
current HTML documents to organize them by categories in the wiki. This
will allow people to go directly to the word or phrase by entering it
in the search box or to browse them through the different categories.
However, the number of articles that would need to be created for this
is fairly large and there's always the possibility of human error
messing up some of the entries if we do it manually. I was hoping that
we could automatically load these as entries, either directly into the
MySQL database or by programmatically feeding the web interface.
Obviously, we would need to parse the current HTML files and probably
convert the entries into wiki text but, assuming that won't be a
problem to accomplish, are there any utilities available that would
allow us to automate the process of importing this information?

Really a newbie but just want to know the following:
If I install mediawiki on my webhotel, will it erase my current
database or just add som tabels?
Probably simple question, but important :o)

I would like to add a PayPal donation button below the navigation section in
the left frame. Would anyone have some example code they could share?
Thanks in advance !

Hi,
We have recently installed Mediawiki and I'm configuring it for our
purposes. One thing that I would like to do is define custom CSS styles for
various purposes (e.g. source code samples). I want these styles to be used
for all skins and users. For the time being I've put them in common.css.
This works fine but strikes me as a bit of a hack. On the meta-wiki I found
the following intriguing page:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Sitewide_css_wiki_page.
I could be totally misunderstanding this, but it sounds to me like we could
create a page that contains the styles we want, and this would then be used
throughout our site. Is this correct? If so, what is the exact name of the
page I need to create and are there any examples? If not, is there another
way to add styles cleanly without modifying the system stylesheets?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
I have exactly the same problem. I can create an image gallery on any page
using the gallery tags, but new images do not appear in the
Special:Newimages pages. I have tried uploading new images but although
they are listed in the Image List page, they don't appear in the New Images
gallery page.
Mediawiki 1.4
Mysql 4.0.24 - standard-log
Php 4.3.10 (cgi)

Hi,
I upgraded to 1.4 right now and so far it works fine. But I have problem
with dates. As you can see in the attachement, though "Feb" is displayed
correctly there seems to be a problem with march, which is "März" in
german. It is simply displayed as "M?2005" - even in html-source.
I have no idea, where it could come from. There is no problem with
umlauts in the upgraded articles and I chose the same encoding: de-latin1.
Does anyone have an idea?
Regards,
Oliver.
I can't seem to use the Image options under 1.3.9 (or 1.4.0 for that
matter) as described here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial
Are these capabilities limited to wikipedia or are they part of the base
mediawiki also?
For example, I have tried without success to do this:
[[Image:foo.jpg|right|50px|frame|Some Caption]].
Thanks for the help,
George
Success! Many thanks Brion!

Is image resizing off?
Make sure that ImageMagick or the GD library functions are available and
that image resizing is enabled in LocalSettings.php.
