WhiteList Problems
by tic＠tictric.net 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

mediawiki 1.3beta3 on Debian testing with apache2 and the other standard packages. On my actually private Knowledgebase I wanted to try out the setting of read and write access restrictions like so: # only sysops and developers may add users $wgWhiteListAccount = array ( "sysop" => 1, "developer" => 1 ); # I want only registered users to add and edit articles $wgWhiteListEdit = true; $wgWhiteListRead = array ( ":Hauptseite" ); Only it doesn't make any changes to the behaviour of the wiki. Whether I'm logged in or not I can view whatever page I want and can also add or edit them. Something I missed? Manfred

Is there any way to specify a table prefix, such as "prefix-user" instead of just "user" as a table name?

Hello, I installed MEdiaWiki 1.2.6 yesterday without problems. I also downloaded a few db dumps from the wikipedia site. (for example:20040620_cur_table.sql) How do i install the data into my Wiki for testing using phpMyadmin? Also, How do I customize the look/feel of my wiki pages?

Same Sections On Each Page - Enforcing/Supporting
by michael＠mahemoff.com 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

Hello Everyone, I'm setting up a wiki where I need the same section headings to appear in every entry - ie a fixed page format. Therefore, it should ideally do the following: - When a user creates a new entry, the default page should contain the required section headings. (As opposed to being empty, which is the usual situation). - When anyone submits a page, the entry should only be updated if the sections are retained. I can't find anything about this sort of functionality in the documentation or mailing list archives. Is it possible to do this, or is there any work planned in this direction? Thanks, Michael

Hello I installed WikiMedia 1.2.6 ok, seems to be working fine. Now I downloaded a bit of the SQL dumps "20040620_cur_table.sql" Now, how do I install these into my DB, so I can see the example data using phpMyAdmin? ALSO, which page(s) do I need to edit to customize the look/feel of my wiki page? Thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!

Our team is looking mostly for a navigation menu like the current one below the search box in the monobook skin, but would contain our Category:xxx links. We are attempting to keep the number of categories to no more than 10. It is a very small wiki and very specialized. Perhaps as we grow, we might consider a drop-down menu, but that sounds like it might require more coding time than what our current team of volunteers can handle. Debi

Setting default preferences
by Matias Pelenur 19 Jun '04

I've been trying to figure out where the default user preferences are but I haven't been able to. For new users or the "not logged in" user, how can I set the default preferences (for example use underlined links, etc). Thanks, Matias

Is there any way of combining pages dynamically
by Arne Meyer Hansen 19 Jun '04

19 Jun '04

Situation: I have a manual where each chapter has its' own page/article. The size of it makes it difficult to combine it all into one page/article. Problem: I wish at time to be able to view the entire manual, e.g. for printing purposes. Question: Is there any way of combining pages dynamically, so that I e.g. can set up a metapage of sorts that imports the content of each of the manual's pages dynamically? Any and all help will be appreciated :-) With regards, Arne Meyer Vedø-Hansen

Hi all: My MediaWiki version is below: MediaWiki :1.3.0beta3 PHP : 4.2.2 (apache2filter) MySQL : 3.23.58 My problem: When I search for a term, and Mediawiki does not find anything, I get this warning message: Warning: Wrong datatype for second argument in call to in_array in /path/to/FullTextStopList.php on line 588. Is it due to MySQL version, or is there a workaround? Thanks, Saurav
