Looking for a calendar plugin for Mediawiki
by Mark Rakhmilevich 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

Does anyone know of a plugin or similar solution to maintain and update a calendar on MediaWiki page? I need something that displays one to three months at a time, allows for navigation to past and future months, and uses each unique date as a link to a date's page to let my group maintain some relevant info. I've seen a Calendar plugin mentioned for Twiki, but don't know if it would work on my MediaWiki site. Thanks for any ideas or pointers. -- Mark

ENotif (e-mail notification for changed pages)
by Thomas Gries 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

http://meta.wikipedia.org/Enotif Hello all developers and mediawikipedians, I need urgently to know, pushy as I am, whether or not you are in favour of having User_talk: ***and*** User: pages treated in the same way: currently, only User_talk pages show the "You have new messages" label and trigger an ENotif in CVS HEAD versions, if the user has opted-in. However more and more users have asked me whether I could also supervise the accompanying ***User*** page, so that changes on this page are also triggering ENotifs. I suggest: to modify the MediaWiki behaviour, so that both, the User_talk:X *and* User:X pages trigger the "you have new messages" flag and also an ENotif(if enabled). Of course, changes of User X do neither trigger the display of the marker nor an ENotif. Looking forward to your answers, please reply to mailto:mail@wikinaut.de?Subject=ENotif%20also%20for%20Userpages Wikinaut Tom

fixing the localsettings.php file
by Graham Chiu 24 Jan '05

Since I can't get the config/index.php file to complete, can someone tell me what is wrong with this one I've altered? $IP = "/homepages/38/d94368847/htdocs/"; ini_set( "include_path", ".:$IP:$IP/includes:$IP/languages" ); require_once( "DefaultSettings.php" ); # If PHP's memory limit is very low, some operations may fail. # ini_set( 'memory_limit', '20M' ); if ( $wgCommandLineMode ) { if ( isset( $_SERVER ) && array_key_exists( 'REQUEST_METHOD', $_SERVER ) ) { die( "This script must be run from the command line\n" ); } } else { ## Compress output if the browser supports it if( !ini_get( 'zlib.output_compression' ) ) @ob_start( 'ob_gzhandler' ); } $wgSitename = "WikiMetamed"; $wgScriptPath = ""; $wgScript = "$wgScriptPath/index.php"; $wgRedirectScript = "$wgScriptPath/redirect.php"; ## If using PHP as a CGI module, use the ugly URLs # $wgArticlePath = "$wgScript/$1"; $wgArticlePath = "$wgScript?title=$1"; $wgStylePath = "$wgScriptPath/stylesheets"; $wgStyleDirectory = "$IP/stylesheets"; $wgLogo = "$wgStylePath/images/wiki.png"; $wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/images"; $wgUploadDirectory = "$IP/images"; When I run the site, it has the wrong paths when I look at the page source http://www.wikimetamed.org

Re: [Mediawiki-l] linking down a page to a header

Easy, just use [[#Subheading 2]] > I tried [[This Page#Subheading 2]] type links, to no avail.... Yeah, I guess this would have worked up until the code was altered to convert self-links to bold. Leaving out the page title's a good idea, though, because it means the link stays valid if the page moves. Of course, the usual warning about linking to sections/headings applies: as soon as somebody alters the heading, however subtly, all links pointing to that section will fail - they'll just link to the top of the page (or in the case of linking further down the same page, probably do nothing at all). -- Rowan Collins BSc [IMSoP]

linking down a page to a header
by Jason Davies 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

possibly dumb question....if I have a page with headers can I link to them without using a full URL? eg Header 1 this bit requires me to link to something further down, like Header 2 sub heading 2 Header 2 Subheading 1 here isa a long paragraph Subheading 2 ah, at last the bit I wanted to refer to... I tried [[This Page#Subheading 2]] type links, to no avail....a full URL works, but doesn't seem very elegant... cheers

tree view? list of pages?
by D_C 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

hiya - I am using mediawiki for writing up a project outline. is there a way of getting an automatic "list of pages" ? similar to the page inline TOC that is generated. I can also get a list of categories with [[Special:Categories|List of Categories]] (well actually this links to the catlist page, rather than creating an inline list, but ...) is there a simple tree view? I guess wikiwebs quickly get non-linear and very complicated, but some kind of easy entry into the system (Most linked from pages?) would be nice - rather than me having to manually make a top level "starting points" list and update it all the time. Another way would be a simple list of pages in chronological order. the "page history" and other links that are on the nav-bar out of the box-install are way too detailed, listing individual edits. I just want an outline list of the pages themselves. Thanks! _______________________________________________ David "DC" Collier mobile business creator ｜モバイル・ビジネス・クリエーター dc(a)pikkle.com http://www.pikkle.com +81 (0)90-7414-6107

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Printing the contents of an entire mediawiki
by Mike Broschinsky 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

Well, yes, XHTML is grand, and coupled with good CSS even grander. But what my boss would really like to do is print the entire wiki, with the result being a close approximation of what the printed style manual was like (the paper paradigm is a powerful one). The old paper copy of the manual ran about a gajillion pages . . . well, really only about 170. It's a bit of a struggle really. My boss likes very much the concept of editing the content on-line; this ensures quick corrections or modifications as necessary. But he likes, and so do some of our more . . . mature users the tactile satisfaction of the book. NSK has suggested Drupal as an alternative. It looks good, and its book view feature has possibilities. Another possibility is simply porting the document to DocBook, and generating (X)HTML to serve on the web, and then using the source to generate PDF for printing. *Or* I could just talk my boss into abandoning the paper paradigm . . . because I *really* like Mediawiki (philosophically; I am no coder by any stretch of the imagination) I think these are my alternatives right now, because it appears that MediaWiki can't print the entire wiki . . . Ooh, ooh, how about an export to DocBook function? ;) Mike >>> baloo(a)ursine.dyndns.org 01/18/05 7:24 PM >>> On Tuesday 18 January 2005 10:04 am, Mike Broschinsky wrote: > We are moving the contents of what has historically been a print > manual into a wiki; this is a style manual for regulation writers in > Utah State Government.

Thanks to the miracle of XHTML[1], in at least the monobook skin (and probably the others), the printable version of the page is the page you're looking at. If you print it, it's formatted for printing instead of what you see on the screen. See your window system's Print Preview function for comparison. Hope this helps.

chmod in text problems
by John Spikowski 23 Jan '05

23 Jan '05

I was trying to include the following text and MediaWiki refused to save the edit. chmod x+b text It would save the following without error chmod x+b text If I put anything after the chmod text it fails the save edit process. I even tried to encapsulate it with the <nowiki> </nowiki> tags without resolve. Is there a HTML to MediaWiki conversion utility? I have a bunch of programming language reference guide pages I need to move. Thanks for any help with the above. John
