My problem is that I don't want that there is anything with encyclopedia, because in fact, I don't have a real encyclopedia. so, can anybody help me again? thanks and best regards, mg -- Martin Groiß Zissersdorf 38 2000 Stockerau mailto:mgroiss@m4f.net 0676/75 45 72 5 --- Lassen Sie sich kostenlos per SMS über den Eingang neuer Mails informieren.

MediaWiki 1.2.0rc4 release candidate
by Brion Vibber 15 Mar '04

15 Mar '04

Changes from 1.2.0rc3: * Fixed new bug that broke 'remember my password' logins * Fixed text alignment for thumbnail images, enhanced recentchanges in RTL languages * $wgSitename auto-detection now includes port number if not running on port 80 * Tightened up indexes on links tables to try to prevent corrupted entries https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=34373 Anyone using rc3 is encouraged to upgrade. (To fix the login bug alone, you can copy in User.php and Setup.php from rc4 to your rc3 installation.) If you're using MySQL 4.0, you should also update the linkscc table to fix the index there. update.php will do this, or remove LocalSettings.php and re-run the in-place installer. (Or manually run maintenance/archives/patch-linkscc.sql.) -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Hi there, I'm having some trouble with the web installer. Everything seems to go well during the installation. But, when I visit what should be the front of my new wiki using this URL: http://www.objectif.org/wiki/index.php ... I get redirected to this URL: http://www.objectif.org/wiki/index.php/Wiki/index.php where I get the message "No input file specified" Anyone have any ideas? -- Thanks! /mike p.s. I'm not using and mod_rewrite stuff. I don't even have any .htaccess files. My database is set up just fine. I'm using Dreamhost. My LocalSettings are in /wiki directory, set thusly: $wgScriptPath = "/wiki"; $wgScript = "$wgScriptPath/index.php"; $wgRedirectScript = "$wgScriptPath/redirect.php"; $wgArticlePath = "$wgScript/$1";

comment-only pages?
by Nancy McGough 11 Mar '04

11 Mar '04

I'm planning to set up and try MediaWiki once 1.2.0 is released and I have a question: Is it possible to set up comment-only pages? For example, I'm thinking that I would like to put each section of my "Procmail Quick Start" on a wiki page of its own and let people add comments below. I know there are other CMS systems that allow this, but I'm hoping to use MediaWiki because of its support for mathematical symbols. Thank you, Nancy -- Nancy McGough Infinite Ink ~ <http://www.ii.com> Deflexion & Reflexion ~ <http://deflexion.com>

Version numbers
by Evan Prodromou 11 Mar '04

11 Mar '04

This is a stupid nit-picky thing, but w/r/t version numbers: it might just be worthwhile to use the microversion number for the release candidates. Most folks wait a while with "dot zero" software anyways. So maybe just call the next version 1.2.4, and leave it at that. Also, it might be worthwhile to start tagging the CVS repository for releases. ~ESP -- Evan Prodromou <evan(a)wikitravel.org> Wikitravel - http://www.wikitravel.org/ The free, complete, up-to-date and reliable world-wide travel guide

Tokenizer problems
by Timwi 09 Mar '04

09 Mar '04

Hi, is someone currently working on the code in CVS? The way it is now, it doesn't seem to work. Specifically, the following input text: ''Test'' generates this output: '''Test'' It seems that the Tokenizer thinks each apostrophe is an individual token, but it should consider '' as a single token. Could someone fix this please? Thanks, Timwi

MediaWiki 1.2.0rc3 release candidate
by Brion Vibber 08 Mar '04

08 Mar '04

This should be pretty much it before a formal 1.2.0 release; the main thing remaining is smarter update of the messages when updating an existing wiki. (Upgraders, please see http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_namespace for some notes on how the new UI interface message editing works. You may have to manually fix messages that were previously customized in Language.php.) Thanks to everyone who's given feedback! Changes in 1.2.0rc3 from rc2: General: * register_globals no longer required * Fix error message on some redirects on Windows servers * Now supports friendlier URLs without mod_rewrite: /index.php/Page_Title in place of /index.php?title=Page_Title * arrow icons for 'enhanced recent changes' now included * Timestamp consistency bug on some page move cases fixed. Web installer fixes: * If write of LocalSettings.php fails, the text is printed for a manual cut-n-paste * Fixed failure to write LocalSettings.php on older versions of PHP * Can now run database updates if pointed at an existing db * Include path now uses correct separator on Windows Command-line installer/updater fixes: * Now copies magnify-clip.png and LocalSettings.php (by update.php) Full release notes and download: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php? group_id=34373&package_id=110941 -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Greetings: One of my users has asked me to enable TeX in our mediawiki.
