default page values?
by Luis Villa 29 Oct '05

29 Oct '05

Hi, all- Is there a way to make new pages open with specific content? Basically, I'd like new pages on a wiki (perhaps only with a specific namespace, but that's not a requirement) to open with a specific outline/section format- something like: =foo= Please fill in these sections as appropriate. =bar= ==baz== ==gee== =lart= etc.- basically to encourage (but not require) that newbie users follow a specific format when creating a new page. Is there any way to do this in mediawiki, short of hardcoding it somewhere? Luis

MySql Driver
by Michael Jew 29 Oct '05

29 Oct '05

Hello, Perhaps you can assist me, I'm trying to do a test installation of MediaWiki on my desktop. I installed MediaWiki, then I installed SQLServer, then I installed PHP5 all on my local machine. However, I received the following error message, when navigating to the site and running the setup script: Checking environment... Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library './mysql.so' - The specified module could not be found. in C:\wwwTest\mediawiki-1.5.1\install-utils.inc on line 17 Could not load MySQL driver! Please compile php --with-mysql or install the mysql.so module. I already saw you post here: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2005-May/005285.html, but wasn't enough information to help solve my problem. I'm using Windows 2000. When I installed PHP 5.0.5, I downloaded the "PHP 5.0.5 installer" and ran that executable. Thus I did no compiling. Should I be? -- Michael Jew Bargain Network, Inc. (805) 968-2020 x2156

I have a patch to MW1.5.0 code. Anyone interested?
by Hans Voss 29 Oct '05

29 Oct '05

I have asked a feature to the MediaWIki a couple of weeks ago (not on this list). I wanted to be able to enable the header numbering feature on a per article basis. (Usually this is a per user setting). Last weekend I thought myself comfertable enough with the MW code to hack my own solution for this (a new magic word). This magic word (__NUMBERHEADINGS__) will enable heading numbers for the specific article, so that all headers (between the '=' marks) get numbered. This is usefull for more formal kind of documents or reports. Is anyone interested in these patches? If so, please let met know and I'll post somewhere (this list, MW repository, by E-mail, ...). -- ---- Met vriendelijke groeten / With kind regards Hans Voss --------------------------------------- skype: hans.voss google talk enabled I am looking for people to invite to Gmail.

LDAP warning
by Haan, Jan de 29 Oct '05

29 Oct '05

Hi All, I'm experimenting (# MediaWiki: 1.5.0, # PHP: 4.3.10-16 (apache2handler), # MySQL: 4.0.24_Debian-10sarge1-log, slapd 2.2.23-8) with LdapAuthentication.php Version 1.0a / 07.10.2005. When adding an e-mail address through the wiki interface to the LDAP database, wiki warns me with "Warning: ldap_modify(): Modify: Strong(er) authentication required in /var/wiki/includes/LdapAuthentication.php on line 323" Since I didn't modify the LdapAuthentication.php and don't know enough of LDAP to interpret the warning, I'm asking here. Can anybody explain? Sincerly, Jan. ---- This message is confidential and may be privileged.

Category caching & "new messages" problems
by Ben Arnold (DSLWN) 29 Oct '05

29 Oct '05

I am running MediaWiki 1.5beta4 on the Saint WAMP 3.3.4 and I have two problems. It's possible that both problems have the same root cause. Any help would be much appreciated! Problem 1: Category caching The first problem I have involves the server-side caching of categories at the bottom of an article page. If I edit an article and give it a brand-new category, then save the article, the category name is displayed in red (because the category doesn't yet exist). This is what I expect. So I click on the category name to bring up the edit page, enter some text and save the category. When I return to the original article the category name still appears in red and still uses "action=edit". I want the category name to be blue and to link to the article without editing it. Additional information: - If I control-refresh my browser the category still appears in red with action=edit - If a user who's never been to the article browses the article the category still appears in red with action=edit - If I view the article through a redirect the category appears in blue - If I add new articles to the category, they appear in blue - If I add action=purge, this fixes the problem --- but since the problem occurs every time I create a category, this is not a solution! - I have made some manual changes to LocalSettings.php and httpd.conf (see below) Problem 2: "New messages" If a user leaves a message for another user on their talk page they get a "new messages" banner. This banner never disappears. I searched around on the web a while and found a solution: get the user to watch and unwatch their talk page. Again, this solves the immediate problem but isn't a permanent solution. Customisation I have made a few manual changes to my LocalSettings.php: # Must be logged in to edit $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; # Must be a Sysop to create accounts $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; # Enables uploading of all file types $wgStrictFileExtensions = false; $wgCheckFileExtensions = false; $wgEnableUploads = true; # Short article paths $wgArticlePath = "/w/$1"; # Timezone NZDT $wgLocalTZoffset = 13; And two changes to httpd.conf: Alias /w /web/root/wiki/index.php LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so Thanks for your help, Ben Arnold

Category links still not being regenerated
by Ben Arnold (DSLWN) 28 Oct '05

28 Oct '05

Hi, does anyone have some suggestions to offer? I'm quite stuck with this! I have succesfully upgraded to MediaWiki 1.5.1 on the off-chance that it was a bug that has been fixed in the latest version. No luck. I'm still having the problem. I notice that it doesn't happen at en.wikipedia which is at 1.6alpha. To summarise: - add a new category link to an article (e.g. [[Category:New category]]) & save - category appears in red (because it's a link to an edit page) - follow the link & save a description of the category - go back to the original article - link still appears in red and you have to use action=purge to fix it I'm now using MediaWiki 1.5.1, PHP 4.3.8, MySQL 4.0.20a-debug. Anyone else had this problem? Something like this? Know how to work around it? Thanks in advance, Ben

Export mediawiki articles to static HTML or anything
by Sebastian Albrecht 28 Oct '05

28 Oct '05

Hello, I've spend quite a time searching for a possibility to export articles from the mediawiki to a static HTML tree or sth. and I really wonder why this does not seem to be possible at the moment. I have installed a mediawiki for personal use and I would like to be able to execute a script or program that puts the whole wiki down to a directory in a human readable format so I can take it with me. I definitely don't want to download Wikipedia and it would be ok to enable this export option in a configuration file. So is there any chance to get the articles to a static HTML tree including files like .css and images? I mainly work with Linux, Windows would be possible, too. Best regards, Sebastian
