Looking for experienced Wiki volunteers to help launch a social project.
Various levels needed to help organize a format and build content. Please
check out the site and let me know. We quickly learned that our project
needs a way to associate topics on a single page, above my level to figure
out. This and many other job functions are needed. I suppose I need to
upgrade software and extensions, looks complicated. We are using MW 12.
Please contact me at support(a)sunrisewiki.org.
Does anyone know another place where I can recruit wiki volunteers; setup
techs, moderators, editors, etc. ?
Thanks,
Sitesponsor

Hi Mediawiki folks,
I am trying to set up authentication for our existing wiki against an external database. I currently do this successfully for my subversion database using Apache's mod_auth_pam module. For our wiki, I would like to use a similar approach. I tried to use http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:HttpAuth. Does this make sense?
I am using
MediaWiki 1.14.0
PHP 5.2.6-1+lenny3 (apache2handler)
MySQL 5.0.51a-24+lenny1
I downloaded the HttpAuth module, added the following lines to LocalSettings.php:
session_start();
if ((!empty($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) && !empty($_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'])) || $_COOKIE['fpwiki_en_UserID']) {
require_once("$IP/extensions/HttpAuthPlugin.php");
$wgAuth = new HttpAuthPlugin();
$wgHooks['UserLoadFromSession'][] = array($wgAuth,'autoAuthenticate');
}
I then added the following lines to http.conf:
<Location /w/Special:UserLogin>
AuthType "basic"
AuthName "wiki"
AuthPAM_Enabled on
AuthPAM_FallThrough Off
SSLRequireSSL
Require valid-user
</Location>
The result is that when users visit Special:UserLogin, they get a pop-up screen and must authenticate using PAM. They can then see the Special:UserLogin screen and must login again (which isn't compared to our external database). This isn't quite what I wanted. I am new to Apache and web administration. Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you.

Hi, all!
Back with an authentication question. I set up Tom Mollerus' single sign on method yesterday:
http://www.mollerus.net/tom/blog/2008/09/single_signon_to_mediawiki_113_usi…
...and before that I'd set the following in the LocalSettings.php settings file:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
Per staff request, we also have an .htaccess file that restricts access to campus IPs (apparently, we're the freaking CIA). I know some of this may be redundant now, but I'm still trying to sort out the best way to set up authentication.
However, the single sign on seems to have negated those $wgGroupPermissions settings in LocalSettings.php. As in, I can log in with my network password, then log out, but still see and edit pages. Any ideas?
So basically, I'm looking for the best method to provide single sign on that requires network password to view and edit. (I think I can lose the IP settings in the .htaccess file now that we're hooked in to LDAP, as long as I don't let anyone create new accounts.)
Yours in authentication ineptitude, :)

I just updated UserRightsList to version 0.52. Key changes:
- works in 1.14
- searches for users who are not assigned to a group.

Password fail after upgrading 1.6.10 > 1.14.0
- MediaWiki version: 1.14.0 and 1.6.10
- PHP version: Php 5
- MySQL version: 5.0.77
- URL:
I'm upgrading directly from the 1.6.10 to 1.14.0. I unpack the script from
the site. Erase LocalSettings.php. Everything works after commenting some
extensions. But, here is the problem. When trying to log in as SuperUser,
the password don't match. Ryan_Lane tryed to help me with IRC. I tryed :
$wgPasswordSalt = false; But doesn't work either.
I'm wondering if you know where i can change this. I think the password
could be crypt differently during the upgrades.
Kind Regards

Hello,
I am a relatively new user of mediawiki. I am trying to embed an iframe in a
wiki page. Can you please let me know how I can go about this?
Thanks so much for your help.

Hi,
Using MW 1.11, is it possible to create CSS that styles a page
depending on the category/categories it belongs to?
Would that require skin modifications, or just adjustments to
LocalSettings.php, or can it be done 'out of the box'?

Hello,
I'd like to use the Template: Infobox Song, as is used in Wikipedia
here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_day_in_the_life
but I just can't seem to figure it out. The template begins with:
<includeonly>{| class="infobox" style="width: 20em;"
|-
! colspan="3" scope="col" style="background: {{Infobox Song/color}};"
| "{{{Name}}}"
|-
| colspan="3" style="text-align: center;" | {{#if: {{{Cover|}}}
| [[Image:{{{Cover}}}|{{min|220|{{{Cover size|}}}}}px|{{#ifeq:
{{{Border|}}}|yes|border{{!}}}}{{#if: {{{Caption|}}} | {{{Caption}}} |
"{{{Name}}}" cover}}]]}}
{{#if:{{{Caption|}}} | <div style="font-size: 0.8em; line-height:
1.4em;">{{{Caption}}}</div>
}}
and those "!" have some meaning which I can't figure out. But the
table that is supposed to be written isn't written correctly, with
those "colspan="3" scope="col" etc. remaining outside the <th>.
Can anybody help me here? Thanks!
