Problem on <select> tag
by Kathleen Borja 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

How can I display the selected value of the option using PHP? For example I have this code: <script language=javascript> function sevent() { var xx = document.xx.sbox; if(document.xx.sbox.selectedIndex != 0) alert("selected is "+xx.selectedIndex); else alert("None is selected"); } </script> <form name=xx> <select name=sbox onChange="sevent()"> <option value="default">Select Option</option> <option value="option 1">option 1</option> <option value="option 2">option 2</option> </select> </form> Here, it prompts whatever option you select. What I wanted to do is to display the value of the selected option using PHP. How can do it? Thanks. ^_^

Conflict on submit buttons
by Kathleen Borja 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

Why is it that there's a conflict on submit buttons between the page of creating/ editing articles and to the special page that i've created. What i mean is that after clicking the 'Save Page' button on the creating/editing page, i am redirected to a blank page. But when I reload that blank page, i can now view the page i just created/edited. Is there something that I have to add to my special page to avoid this one? The special pages that i've created are working. It's just strange seeing the blank page because a user is supposed to be redirected properly to the page that they just created/edited.

[Mediawiki-api-announce] BREAKING CHANGE: Too high/low limits now throw warnings instead of errors
by Roan Kattouw 28 Aug '09

28 Aug '09

As of r55652 [1], passing a too high or too low value to a limit parameter will no longer cause an error, but throw a warning instead and continue with the maximum (for too high values) or the minimum (for too low values) limit. This was done to be nicer towards clients that could potentially be broken by the recent change to srlimit [2]. The change is not live on Wikipedia yet, but I will try to get it pushed live ASAP.

[Mediawiki-api-announce] BREAKING CHANGE: Maximum limit for list=search reduced from 500/5000 to 50/500
by Roan Kattouw 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

As of r55615 [1], which has gone live on Wikipedia yesterday, the maximum limit for list=search is 50 results for regular users and 500 for sysops and bots. This is down from 500/5000 because search queries using the maximum limit were causing performance issues. If you specify srlimit=100 or any number higher than your new maximum limit, you'll get an error message. If you specify srlimit=max , everything will keep working, but you'll get fewer results.

cmnamespace attribute ignored?
by Karl Ostmo 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Dear API hackers, I am trying to restrict query results by namespace. In the following query, there are some members of namespace 6. However, there are many members in namespace 14. http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=categorymembe… I have prefixed the cmnamespace with "g" for use as a generator. Leaving the "g" off produces the same results. Have I stumbled upon a bug? Thanks for your help, Karl

Re: [Mediawiki-api] Timezone problem
by Loki 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Hi I have a problem with the timezone in the api, I have a time diff over 2 hours in my installation to system time, so I added the following [1] $wgLocaltimezone = "Asia/Taipei"; $oldtz = getenv("TZ"); putenv("TZ=$wgLocaltimezone"); # Versions before 1.7.0 used $wgLocalTZoffset as hours. # After 1.7.0 offset as minutes $wgLocalTZoffset = date("Z") / 60; putenv("TZ=$oldtz"); but this affected only the "regular" part of mediawiki not the time in the api ... any ideas ? -- Loki _________________ [1] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Timezone

json mime output change.
by Michael Dale 16 Aug '09

16 Aug '09

Would anyone object to changing the output mime type of ApiFormatJson.php from "application/json" to 'text/javascript' ? committed in r55084 This is needed for iframe target background upload tasks. ie you upload a file and then you want to take the name of the file you uploaded and use that to insert the image into the edit window. With mime as "application/json" the browser promts the user to "save" the file and we can't eval the document text result in the iframe. --michael

Creating an Extension for my thesaurus
by Kathleen Borja 16 Aug '09

16 Aug '09

I'm making my mediawiki-driven senior project for this semester. It is about creating a thesaurus for bikol languages. I started editing pages and also importing pages manually. So far, all the changes work. Now, I'm making the core function of my project-thesaurus. I implemented a string search algorithm in a php file(but not yet on the special file), which I will be using in the search function on the SpecailThesaurus.php file. I'm making a special page on the /includes directory and also on the /extensions directory named "SpecialThesaurus.php". Problems: -How can I set the action attribute in "form" so that it displays all the output on the page $SERVER['PHP_SELF']; -How can I enable this script "SpecialThesaurus.php" so that it shows after a user adds/edit a page? Thanks. (^_^) On the /extensions directory, the "SpecialThesaurus.php" includes this code: --------------- <?php $wgExtensionFunctions[] = "wfExtensionSpecialThesaurus"; function wfExtensionSpecialThesaurus() { global $wgMessageCache; $wgMessageCache->addMessages(array('thesaurus' => 'WikiBiTs Thesaurus page')); require_once('includes/SpecialPage.php'); SpecialPage::addPage(new SpecialPage('Thesaurus')); } ?> --------------- On the /includes directory, the "SpecialThesaurus.php" includes this code: --------------- <?php if( !defined( 'MEDIAWIKI' ) ) die(); $wgExtensionCredits['validextensionclass'][] = array( 'name' => 'Thesaurus for Biko languages', 'author' =>'Kathleen Jane P. Borja', 'url' => 'http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Kathjane', 'description' => 'This Extension searches for bikol word for a given literary input (poems, short stories, etc.), tags the searched word with bikol synonym according to origin (Bikol-Naga, Bikol-Masbate, etc.) and user type (Student, College Graduate, or Professional). ' ); function wfSpecialThesaurus() { $searchboxtext = "Search for Bikol words"; $tagboxtext = "Tag with Bikol Synonym"; global $wgOut; $result=<<<ENDFORM  <table border="0" align="left" width="650" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%" align="left" bgcolor=""> <form name="searchbox" action="" method="get" class="searchbox"> Search : <input class="searchboxinput" name="searchkword" type="text" value="{$searchboxtext}" size="50" /> <input type="submit" name="submitsearch" value="Go" /> <input type="reset" name="cancelsearch" value="Cancel"/><br><br> Results:<br> <textarea name="resultarea" cols="60" rows="10"></textarea><br><br> Tag with: <input type="text" name="tagbox" value={$tagboxtext}" size="50" /> Origin: <select> <option name="default" />Bicol-Naga <option name="bicolmasbate" />Bicol-Masbate <option name="bicolragay" />Bicol-Ragay <option name="bicollegazpi" />Bicol-Legazpi <option name="others" />Others </select> User Category: <select> <option name="student" />Student <option name="collegegraduate" />College Graduate <option name="professional" />Professional <option name="others" />Others </select><br><br> <input type="submit" name="saveall" value="Save" /> <input type="reset" name="cancelall" value="Cancel" /> </form> </td> </tr> </table>  ENDFORM; $wgOut->addHTML($result); return true; } ?> ---------------
