RE: [Mediawiki-l] Changing default preferences for users / enforc ing default prefer ences
by Alistair Johnson 22 Dec '04

Thanks Brion, the database option may be the best for us as I don't really want the support hassles of people changing the defaults. Do you know if there's a data dictionary I can reference for the preferences blob, or should I just examine the code (any idea which script file to look at)? Cheers, al. -----Original Message----- From: Brion Vibber [mailto:brion@pobox.com] On Dec 22, 2004, at 12:49 PM, Alistair Johnson wrote: > I'd like to enforce preferences for my user base - for example the > template used & the areas searched in (I need to include Images in the > default search). In 1.4 you can override the defaults in $wgDefaultUserOptions. This (or the defaults in Language.php) will be used for those not logged in and newly created accounts. You cannot override users' actual settings unless you go through and change them in the database or change the User code to discard certain fields.

Changing default preferences for users / enforcing default prefer ences
by Alistair Johnson 22 Dec '04

22 Dec '04

I'd like to enforce preferences for my user base - for example the template used & the areas searched in (I need to include Images in the default search). Is there a way of changing the default and/or changing preferences across all the userbase? I assume I could use a MySQL call to change the blob the user settings are stored in for each user. Is there a data dictionary for the database? al. Alistair Johnson IT Manager Rembrandt Suits Limited p +64 4 576 4822 f +64 4 567 0507 e johnsona(a)rembrandt.co.nz

RE: [Mediawiki-l] How to turn off numbering in table ofcontents liston pages with multiple headings

There isn't any way to do it without touching the code. These are the relevant lines from Parser.php: if( $doNumberHeadings || $doShowToc ) { $tocline = $numbering . ' ' . $tocline; ... } Since $doShowToc will be true, you'll always hit that middle line. Also, the numbering is attached with the same style as the text, so there's no way to hide it with CSS. The smallest change you could make to the PHP-file to do this is to comment out the middle line above. Sincerely, Matthew Simoneau

Thanks, Matthew; this isn't exactly what I need, though. "Auto-number headings" applies to the numbering of headings within the body of the article (as I just discovered by enabling it). What I want to be able to do is disable the auto numbering of table of contents entries in the table of contents that appears at the *beginning* of the article. Thanks for your response, and good luck with your "returnto" question!

"Auto-number headings" is a user option under "Preferences > Misc settings", so you can easily turn it off for yourself. I don't know how to change the default. Good luck, Matthew Simoneau P.S.

How to turn off numbering in table of contents list on pages with multiple headings
by Mike Broschinsky 22 Dec '04

22 Dec '04

I want to be able to turn off the numbering that MediaWiki provides for each tocline in the toc generated for each article with multiple headings. I have found the function (I think) in parser.php that takes care of the numbering, but being nonconversant in PHP find myself unwilling to make changes there. I imagine there must be some flag I can set in LocalSettings.php that would do this, but I can't seem to find where it might be in the documentation. Is there a way I can do this, without hacking parser.php? Thanks, Mike

Hi, I see in DefaultSettings.php, there're a couple of flags configuring how to credit the authors below articles. However, I don't the credit list on my wiki. How do I turn it on? Thanks. -- John

Starting a new Wikipedia-based N-pedia
by Plamen Gradinarov 22 Dec '04

22 Dec '04

Dear All, While contributing this article to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samapatti I found that there are too much specific terms marked as open entries, without which a Wikipedia topic would not be quite comprehensible, while adding them to the Wikipedia would violate the non-dictionary rule. On the other hand, the terms are not fit for the general Wiktionary. The only way out seems to be a new open encyclopedia project, let's call it Indopedia, which should combine the characteristics of both encyclopedia and technical dictionary, plus the specific features of a standard Indian kosha (containing excerpts from original texts). Starting the Indopedia from the scratch would be the best approach as far as methodology and representation are concerned, but we will lose the rich Indological content provided so far by the Wikipedia authors. My question is: Is there a way to extract all Indology-related articles from the current table and use them as the content-basis for all future editing and writing activities of our editors, provided this does not contradict the GPL license.
