Arabic mediawiki doesn't display arabic messages
by Mohammad 16 May '04

16 May '04

Hi All, I'm trying to start an arabic wiki site (similar to the arabic Wikipedia) but when I install Mediawiki (1.2.5) and switch to the arabic language everything goes right-to-left but most of the messages (Link names, page titles, ...) stay in english. I'm not that PHP expert so I couldn't debug it. LocalSettings.php contains the below two variables $wgUseDatabaseMessages = false; $wgLanguageCode = "ar"; It is an in-place installation. Thanks in advance, MO ------------------------- The only real thing in life is death, are you ready for it. -- Mohammad salemoh(a)fastmail.fm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Access all of your messages and folders wherever you are

There's an inconsistency in how PHP does its "magic quotes" mangling on the upload data, which we had overlooked. It doesn't usually make a different on Unix but Windows does silly things like using backslash for a directory separator, which screws everything up when we remove the "extra" backslashes. A fix will be in 1.2.6; you can make the change manually in index.php: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=411192&aid=951541&group_id =34373 -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Upload File problem
by Thoreau Lovell 14 May '04

14 May '04

Hello, I just installed MediaWiki 1.2.5 on rh 9., with php 4.2.2 and apache 2.0.40. So far so good, except I can't upload files. When I try to upload a file from a windows xp client using IE 6.0.28 I get a "The page cannot be displayed" message. Doing the same thing with Mozilla 1.5 I get "The document contains no data" alert. Same alert error using Mozilla from the linux server, by the way. I've given write permissions to images and php.ini seems to be configured to allow uploads. Any ideas? Thanks!

download of images
by Teun Spaans 12 May '04

12 May '04

What is the status of a download of the images table? I would like to run some queries, and the sql feature is no longer available. The current download page has stated for months that: "Images and uploaded files A collected archive of uploaded images is not yet available..." Also, could anyone please point out where I can locate a create table statement for the image table in sourceforge? t.i.a.! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

New Language.php files. Where to submit it ?
by d_kote 23 09 May '04

09 May '04

Dear Sir, I translated MediaWiki from Language.php file to my own Language [Laotian], LanguageLo.php, in Unicode UTF-8, I tested it, and it's working. I searched on international Language lists, there is still not Lao Language there, and if there is nobody translated/converted Lao Language file yet, Please inform me where I should submit this new Language file to. Thank you. D_KOTE. _________________________________________________________________ メッセンジャーで総額1億円プレゼント！ http://im.msn.co.jp/home.htm

The Mystery gets darker.
by Pietro Speroni di Fenizio 09 May '04

The Mystery gets darker. Now OurAnswer (the wiki) works fine... except that it had forgot all the changes in the last 2 weeks. That is about one week before the site went down. www.ouranswer.org/wiki/index.php/Special:Recentchanges There wasn't much done, but it is worrying. What has happened? How can something like this happen? Can it be a malicious attack? We had set up a respond to Bush page which had gathered three comments. So the work of four people was lost. The pages that were created are also not stored in the new pages: www.ouranswer.org/wiki/index.php/Special:Newpages Any idea on what could be the possible cause?

Wantedpages is empty
by Andy Smith 08 May '04

08 May '04

Hi, I installed MediaWiki 1.2.4 a few days ago, and it is very impressive, but I have a question that I don't seem to be able to find the answer to. My Special:Wantedpages page is empty even though I know I have broken links in some of my pages. I can see them in the brokenlinks table. Is there something I should do to populate Wantedpages? My wiki is new and will probably always be fairly small so I don't think it will be a performance problem to enable Wantedpages. Anyway, I'd like to know how, even if I don't use it! I googled a bit and found references to a rebuildlinks.php script. I tried running that (after taking a backup), but it says "Can't use command-line utils with in-place install yet, sorry.", so I assume that is not the correct thing to do. Any ideas? Thanks, Andy
