RE: [Mediawiki-l] How to generate a "Send this to a friend" link
by Alistair Johnson 27 Oct '05

Modify the skin with a link something like the following: <A HREF="mailto:?subject=the subject&body=the content you want there">Send to a friend</A> Change "the subject" to a MediaWiki function for the page title Change "the content you want there" to a MediaWiki function to output the url or the body text.

Does anyone know of any easy way to automatically generate a "Send this to a friend" link for every article page on the WIKI? thank you Eric --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Skins and Caching
by Jonathan Streeter 27 Oct '05

27 Oct '05

My last post returned a "The message's content type was not explicitly allowed" message - so i am not sure if it came through. Here it is again. ________________________ Hello, I am new to the list, and have been struggling to understand exactly how mediawiki 1.5 handles skins. At first i thought that if you modify the monobook.php and main.css files - the changes would immediately be apparent on the website. so i went in and changed those files - and nothing happened. everything still looked exactly as it did. So then i thought - MEdiawiki has some awesome cacheing - i'll just disable that and then it will work - so i added: $wgCachePages = false; to the localsettings file and tried again. nothing. none of the changes i make to the .php or the .css file have any effect on what is displayed. I searched through the lists and found some references to the MediaWiki:monobook.css page that is supposed to let you modify the look and feel of the whole site. But it is currently blank - i would have expected that page to display the currently used style sheet.... help! am i totally missing something? -jon

Netscape 4 and mediawiki-1.4.1
by D & D Player DaGoat 27 Oct '05

27 Oct '05

I have been developing a wiki site that needs to display on systems running Windows 2000 running IE and Solaris running Netscape 4.7. The machines running IE work with no problem at all. But the Netscape 4.7 does not display the page so it can be read. I am right now searching the archives to see if anyone else has posted about this problem yet. If you know of any real quick solution to this that have been posted can you please post the date of that post so I can go back to that one and see if the fix works. Thank you very much for your help

RE: [Mediawiki-l] Login/users/specific page access

Pretty common question. We've got a somewhat similar need and haven't found suitable solution. Here is something that may interest you, though. http://blog.epistemographer.com/?p=238 Andrew -----Original Message----- From: david streever [mailto:david@thinkcreativegroup.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 2:38 PM To: mediawiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Login/users/specific page access Hi all, am a bit stumped. Tried out several methods (inc. restricted pages) but can not get exactly what I desire--I have my clients logging in to a wiki to "view" comps for them. Now, they don't want the other clients to see their sections--which didn't seem important to me, but is to them.

Hi all, am a bit stumped. Tried out several methods (inc. restricted pages) but can not get exactly what I desire--I have my clients logging in to a wiki to "view" comps for them. Now, they don't want the other clients to see their sections--which didn't seem important to me, but is to them. How do I provide this? I am happy to do it manually, as long as I can. I just don't know how to without making a new user group (similar tot he restrict method) for each client, and then setting their area with that--is that the way to do it? Is that even possible?

Installation error on 1.5.0
by Doug Carter 27 Oct '05

27 Oct '05

Hi all, This *must* be a FAQ, but I've looked everywhere and can't find an answer. I've followed the excellent (and simple) install instructions, but when I start the config process by going to: http://mymachine/wiki/ I get: Fatal error: Failed opening required 'includes/SiteConfiguration.php' (include_path='/usr/sausalito/ui/libPhp:/usr/sausalito/ui/web') in /var/www/html/wiki/includes/DefaultSettings.php on line 27 Any ideas on how to correct this? TIA, Doug

Interview Request for book on Wikis in the Workplace
by Peter Thoeny 26 Oct '05

26 Oct '05

Dear Mediawiki user, Co-author Dan Woods and I are working on a book titled "Wikis in the Workplace: A Practical Guide to Collaborating, Creating Knowledge, and Sharing Information". See details on the book at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/WikisInTheWorkplaceBook (FYI, although the abstract is on twiki.org, the book is not TWiki specific) For this book we are interviewing people who are familiar with the wiki technology, so that we can write about current possibilities, limitations and future trends of wikis. We are primarily interested in learning about larger wiki deployments behind corporate firewalls. If your Mediawiki falls into this category we would be delighted to hear from you. Interviews are typically done in a one-hour conference call. A list of questions can be supplied ahead of time. If needed we can quote anonymously or sign an NDA. To conserve bandwidth, please reply to me only. Best regards, Peter -- * Peter Thoeny Peter(a)Thoeny.com * This e-mail is: (x) public (_) ask first (_) private

MediaWiki 1.5.1 released
by Brion Vibber 26 Oct '05

26 Oct '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 MediaWiki 1.5.1 is a bugfix and security maintenance release, and is a recommended upgrade for all installations. This release includes further corrections to the inline CSS style sanitation which works around a JavaScript "feature" on Microsoft Internet Explorer. Users of Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows may be vulnerable to XSS injections on prior versions; users of standards-compliant browsers are not vulnerable. Major fixes include: * Image pages work again with resizing disabled * Works in MySQL 5.0 strict mode There is experimental support in this release for explicitly declaring the UTF-8 charset in the database; this has been tested with MySQL 5.0.15 but should work on 4.1 as well. IMPORTANT: Changing this setting on an existing wiki may produce interesting data corruption, depending on server configuration. Page contents should, usually, be unaffected, but page titles and other items may be. Limitations in MySQL's Unicode support mean that characters outside the BMP cannot be used in page titles or various other fields when using this mode. Table definitions are in maintenance/mysql5/tables.sql, and the runtime option to send 'SET NAMES utf8' is set by $wgDBmysql5 = true. (MySQL 3.23.x and 4.0.x do not support character set declarations; on these versions MediaWiki simply works with UTF-8 data and MySQL is blissfully unaware of it.) Release notes: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=366110 Download: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wikipedia/mediawiki-1.5.1.tar.gz?download MD5 checksum: f2030d3302a899f4e4f2e6d9f3842067 SHA-1 checksum: ff4c843f132ca54ef85b2a15fb42498a54f0ae33 Before asking for help, try the FAQ: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ Low-traffic release announcements mailing list: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce Wiki admin help mailing list: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l Bug report system: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ Play "stump the developers" live on IRC: #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net - -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDX2C5wRnhpk1wk44RAjcFAKCreSnX6H9AlrTJPYAqW9cOcejTQgCgoqk3 k+lb4bVzuxytsf1Xvgv8z3E= =flUz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
