Thanks again for all the help in getting
set up with a local install of MediaWiki.
I've just received word that one of the
sessions will have 72 people and the
other 38 for "Wiki Wiki Learning".
What do you think about approaching
Michael at the Linspire / Lindows Corp
and sharing the positive experience with
setting up MediaWiki? Could we suggest
he include the software in the Click-N-Run
Warehouse? Would this be possible and
would it be ok with the foundation and the
developers?
I'm so encouraged by the easy install and
the excellent setup that I'd be willing to
try it on an iMac... or the iBook, but only
after the conferences, the first of which
is in one more week.
With thanks to all who've responded to
my questions...
Sincerely,
Jay B.

Can it be turned into an extension (and I'm not a developer so I have
no idea what that entails)? I'm crossposting this to the mediawiki
mailing list where some of the devs might chime in.

Hello,
I'm trying to modify MediaWiki so that a single linebreak in the edit box will
be written as <br />. Has this been decided against for some reason? If it's
possible to do easily, I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
Hi All,
Apologies in advance if I'm doing something dumb here, but I've recently
installed mediawiki, built texvc, and have set
$wgUseTeX = true;
$wgMathPath = "{$wgUploadPath}/math";
$wgMathDirectory = "{$wgUploadDirectory}/math";
$wgTmpDirectory = "{$wgUploadDirectory}/tmp";
in LocalSettings.php
However, on entering some math content into the wiki and saving it, all
i get is the following error message as output:
Failed to parse (Can't write to or create math output directory)
I have tried setting the math directory to be world writeable (dangerous
I know), to no avail.
All help gratefully received.
Jonathan

Hello,
we have activated ImageMagick (with /usr/bin/convert) and have problems
with png-thumbs at the following site:
http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/VDR_Wiki:Spielwiese#Spielwiese
The images work well, but not their thumbs. What can be the matter?
This is the error message we get:
Warning: shell_exec,popen,escapeshellcmd,proc_open,proc_nice() has been
disabled for security reasons in /www/htdocs/db/wiki/includes/Image.php
on line 179

Please can you help us?

Dear subscribers,
I want to add a new wiki-tag to my mediawiki. I thought that is quite
easy but I a too stupid for that.
The wiki Tag shoulb be like this:
I write: >>> text here <<< blabla.
The three ">>>" shall word like the tags for emphasize. Where can I add
now tags? Which files have to be edited? Can I format the text between
the ">>>" Tags?
It would be great if there would be a starting tag <div id="bla"> and an
ending Tag </div>
Can anyone give me an URL oder help me via eMail?
Thank you all,
Felix Damrau
Hi,
Thanks for whatever help you may be able
to offer concerning this issue...
I am working on putting together a presentation
for a couple of Conferences, one a Science and
Technology conference at the McAuliffe Center,
and another for World Language Teachers at
the NHAWLT Conference.
I would like to have a local implementation of
Mediawiki running so as to be able to show
the editing of articles without going realtime.
I'm not sure of what connectivity issues there
may be at the conference centers and I'm
still waiting to hear back if internet access
will be available for presenters...
In speaking with Brion I mentioned that I
had available a Laptop with Linspire, an
iBook and a Gateway with XP.
I've had trouble getting a blue iMac connected
and seeing the network at work... And I'm
afraid of running into the same trouble with the
iBook. The Linspire laptop seems happy with
everything, and it's taken no time to get things
the way I want them on it... recently I'd put
MySQL and PHP on it but I'm not sure of the
correct settings to make way for Mediawiki.
I've looked at the Mediawiki_on_Linux article
and gotten some settings from there... has anyone
had experience with Linspire/Debian on a laptop,
who might be of help in giving helping hints as I
make the move to get it working?
Again thanks for any helpful suggestions you
may have on this subject.
Sincerely,
Jay B.
