How to change [[article]]s into [[article|articles]] automagically?
by Alisson Sellaro 28 Jul '04

28 Jul '04

Folks I've asked this before on list (but with a slightly different approach :) and received no answer. Let me try again explaining in a better form (I hope). Some articles at MusicWiki were written in such way that endings were left after a link to other article. This is a real example: "(...) record of [[song]]s or [[music]] (...)" When MediaWiki renders the page, it show a link to Song article but it doesn't include final "s" as part of the link (as if the contributor has typed [[song|songs]] instead of [[song]]s). This is a listed feature (at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing#Links.2C_URLs - Endings are blended into the link), however. I was wondering if I need to enable something or configure something so my MediaWiki instalation could behave like Meta. Any help would be very appreciated -- Alisson Sellaro MusicWiki :: http://www.music-wiki.org Plug It In! :: http://www.plugitin.com.br AIM : sellaropelucio ICQ : 150658836 Jabber: sellaro(a)jabber.linux.it MSN : alissonsellaro(a)hotmail.com

Hello I tried editing: Templates/xhtml_slim.pt and I inserted some text: Under the search box: <div class="pBody"> <form name="searchform" action="${searchaction}" id="searchform"> <input id="searchInput" name="search" type="text" i18n:attributes="accesskey string:accesskey-search | default"/> <input type='submit' name="go" value="Go" class="searchButton" i18n:attributes="value string:go"/> <input type='submit' name="fulltext" value="Search" class="searchButton" i18n:attributes="value string:search"/> </form> I added: <form method=GET action="http://www.google.com/custom"> <img SRC="" border="0" alt="Google" align="center"></img> <input type="text" name="q" size="20" maxlength="255" value=""></input> <input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search"></input> </form> I get a huge Pear Error? (I don't even know what pear is?!) How can I add this to the template? Thanks Jimmy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hello, I have been trying to customize the output of MW 1.3 b5 When I modify skin.php I don't see any changes. My current skin is the monobook default. Which file do I need to be looking at to modify the output, add my own custom content above the main article and below it. Also, if I want to add something underneath the search box, where do I do that? It seems like modifying /templates/monobook/main.css would not add content, simply change the way things look. Thanks!

Hello Is there a discussion forum out there with a lot of Media WIki users on it? Seems like it might be an efficient way to ask questions and discuss the project.

Trying to install
by Odile Bénassy 26 Jul '04

Hello, I'm trying to install mediawiki for association OFSET (see http//www.ofset.org). I get a blank page when I call index.php (see http://wikipedia.ofset.org). Some hints : - I've done the setup from command line. - if I try to call http://wikipedia.ofset.org/config, it displays a message saying that my Wikipedai is configured and I should erase /config directory for security reasons. - script seems not to pass line 51 : wfProfileIn( "main-misc-setup" ); yet it passes successfully "include" lines, such as line 39 include_once( "./LocalSettings.php" ); Can you help ? -- Odile Bénassy, développeuse de logiciels libres Odile Benassy, libre software developer gpg: 6333 33AF 1AA4 5A64 3870 33BC 4247 DC1D BDEB B4AA

1.3.0beta5 experiences
by Thomas Rother 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

Hi, some notes and questions on beta5: The "plain" installation and also the general upgrade process from older wikis (here: 1.2.4) seems to be OK for now. I see none of the installation errors (PEAR etc.) which occured when upgrading to beta4. But: When upgrading a 1.2.4 wiki with approx. 1300 pages, all present pages are gone. Even on the "All pages" and on the link for orphaned pages, I see none of the old articles, although they are present in the database, although I used the same site name ($wgSitename) as before. Did I miss something here? Do I need adiditional "tweaking" after upgrading from 1.2.4?
