What about the MediaWiki Namespace?
by Campino 15 Nov '05

15 Nov '05

Hi there, in my first Wiki i have translate all the MediaWiki Messages - so that they fits perfectly for my Wiki. Now, i have to setup a second Wiki at work. Every Mediawiki Message is - of course - at default. Now - i am lazy - i want to take all the Mediawiki Messages from the first mySQL Database and put them in the new Database. Of course i must be care full with all the IDs and so. My Problem: When i do SELECT * FROM `cur` WHERE `cur_namespace` =8 i cant find the current message, but the old! Where are the current MediaWiki Messages? My first Wiki was set up more than one year ago and is currently at version 1.5.0. Mfg Campino -- http://www.daocpedia.de

change the an icon in the browser's address line
by judi chen 15 Nov '05

Rob Thanks for the help. I did what you outlines. Now I got the icon in the Firefox's address line. I got nothing in the IE's address line. Can you help Thanks jc Message: 7 Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2005 09:33:38 +0000 From: Rob Church <robchur(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] change the an icon in the browser's address-line To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list <mediawiki-l(a)wikimedia.org> Message-ID: <e92136380511140133x56cdf813l(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 The favicon is handled by the web server where there is a favicon.ico file in the web root (public_html, htdocs, wwwroot etc.). MediaWiki doesn't touch the favicon nor try to do anything with it.

howto insert expanded template from php ?
by Miguel Santos 15 Nov '05

15 Nov '05

Hello, I have created a template taking a single parameter. I would like it to be expanded in the search page. But because the search page (generated from SpecialSearch.php) is created by PHP code and not by direct wiki markup, I cannot simply include {{templatename|param}}. Is there an API to directly expand a template by using PHP code? Can you please give sample PHP code? 10x ADi

Complete Idiot Needs Help Setting Up Wiki
by Zack Green 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

Hello, I have a lot of technical experience with everything computer related except web design. That's precisely why I want my website to be a wiki: it's much easier to manage than just about anything else. However, I don't know how to use MySQL or PHP, so the documentation is a little bit intimidating to me. I won't be installing it immediately, but if anyone could let me know who to contact for a step by step installation guide in layman's terms, I'd appreciate it a lot. -Zack Green (Greenmonkey824(a)gmail.com)

Re: change the an icon in the browser's

I think they may be stored in a separate cache or something. Whenever I do a favicon for a client whose website I've already viewed without the favicon, I have to go to another machine that had never viewed that site in order to see it. This is with MacOS X and Safari -- there seems to be little you can do in Safari to make a favicon change -- even quitting Safari won't do it. So my guess is that you successfully made your favicon, but you just couldn't see it. :::: There's a difference between having an open mind and letting the wind blow through your ears! :::: Jan Steinman <http://www.Bytesmiths.com/Van>

Re: dmoz pagerank and url rewriting (FxParlant)
by Ralph Kern 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

I use FireFox 1.0.7 and the SearchStatus extension. Is that the one you are related to? On my wiki+forum http://alturoforum.gsfnet.de, which is included in some new DMOZ category the status line does not correctly indicate the category listing. It is not shown on Google PR, but it is shown on the Alexa PR box. Therefore I guess it is not a topic of the wiki software, but of the extension and the Google habits of lazy DMOZ updates. It took already 3 month for the last update of DMOZ to be reflected by Google. regards Ralph FxParlant wrote: >I'm not a specialist, but if you use firefox and a google pagerank >plugin, you've surely noticed sometimes this little thingy, yellow and >blue which appears on some websites.
