Super Slow & CSS Doesn't Load
by Gaurav Chaturvedi 08 Sep '04

08 Sep '04

My wiki works fine..but at times it works VERY slow and sometimes doesn't even load the stylesheet. It seems to be happening a lot more recently. Is this because I haven't done the rewrite mod? (I don't even know how to do that..i don't want to screw anything up). Please help me, thanks. -- Gaurav Chaturvedi Web/Graphic Designer JAVA Programmer

Damn !
by Abdon Gonzalez 08 Sep '04

This is the deal; I upgraded from 1.3.beta to 1.3.1. On a bunch of pages, it turned "linkname" to "linkname!" where linkname used to be a link and it is not anymore, and "!" is the link to the page. How the [SENSORED] do I get rid of the damn "!"! I tried editing the pages, deleting the pages, recreating the pages, but it doesn't want to go away! This is driving me nuts! - Abdon http://www.sillypages.com/

medawiki external authentication: http or ldap
by Thomas Rother 08 Sep '04

08 Sep '04

Hi, just a question to developers: Have there been any attempts to use some kind of external authentication for mediawiki? Any source where I can grab code from? I am looking for ways to use mediawki in an intranet environment with a) http authentication: mediawiki recognizes a user as "logged in" if he has already logged in through http (401 request) b) ldap authentication: mediawiki recognizes a user as "logged in" if an ldap server has granted access. Either directly (= medaiwiki asking ldap itself) or "indirectly" through an apache module like mod_auth_ldap. In the ldap case, it would also be interesting if it is possible to get authorization info ("who is allowed to do what") not from the mediawiki sql database, but from an ldap server. Thanks, Thommie -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- THOMAS M. ROTHER * n e t z w i s s e n * D-73728 Esslingen F.R.

(fyi) Wikipedia != Authoritative?
by Sterling D. Allan 06 Sep '04

06 Sep '04

This is one of the reasons that at PES Network we aim to have a peer review article (not editable by community) for each of the major wiki articles. http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/09/05/1339219 Wikipedia != Authoritative? Posted by CmdrTaco on Sunday September 05, @08:02AM from the well-duh-people dept. Frozen North writes "Recently, this article in the Syracuse Post-Standard caused a stir by dismissing Wikipedia as an authoritative source, and even suggesting that it was a little deceptive by looking too much like a "real" encyclopedia. Techdirt suggested an experiment: insert bogus information into Wikipedia, and see how long it takes for the mistake to be removed. Well, I did that experiment, and the results weren't good: five errors inserted over five days, all of which lasted until I removed them myself at the end of the experiment."

this is odd..

I installed 1.3.2 today. After the install it placed "Retrieved from " and the link to the same page. I assume this is because it used my old database, but how do i get rid of the "Retreived from" messages at the bottom of all my pages? sorry if you get this twice, i sent it first through the wrong email address

exporting pages
by Moonlight Embrace 05 Sep '04

05 Sep '04

I've looked and looked and I can't find the documentation for exporting pages. How do I export all the current versions of my pages? My plan is to export them, then import them into a fresh install of 1.3.2. -Moonlight Embrace

Thanks & Kinda Slow?
by Gaurav Chaturvedi 04 Sep '04

04 Sep '04

Thanks for help regarding the Creation of uncreated pages...I have a few more questions. Why is my website rather slow? Is there any way to speed it up? I have DSL and it takes me 4-5 seconds to load each page...not instant. Visit http://fantasygenre.com. Secondly, is there any discussion board out there that can be created for MediaWiki support rather than just a mailing list? If not, can I create one where people can post questions, etc. (i'd take on all the responsibilities/money for domain/hosting etc. since I own a server). Thanks once again. -- Gaurav Chaturvedi

Links

My apologies ~ re: I don't want to modify any existing link, I want to insert a new one in and I am still stumped. I forgot that to see changes I needed to clear my browser cache! (Please excuse me - shift work has befuddled my brain) My new link external to the wiki now shows in the nav bar. All one needs to do is (as Brion stated previously), is insert a link with the full url into the appropriate position within the xhtml_slim.pt and the link will show up. Thanks for the answers (and patience) all! Cheers, Cameron C. J. Stephen notReality ~ http://www.notreality.biz/notreality.php Photoblogring.org ~ http://photoblogring.nfshost.com
