Announcement: Biblio.php extension
by Martin Jambon 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

Announcement: Biblio.php extension for MediaWiki (first release) Biblio.php is an extension of MediaWiki for easy bibliography management. Besides automatic numbering and sorting citations and references, it takes advantage of webservices to automatically fetch, format and link bibliographic records. It currently supports referencing by PMIDs, i.e. the identifiers which are used by PubMed, the public database of biomedical publications which is a standard in this field. More information is given there: http://martin.jambon.free.fr/biblio_php.html The code is distributed under the terms of the GNU Public License (GPL). Any suggestion is welcome. Have fun!

Hi all wikianers My Newbie-Question on a Wiki 1.5 System: I have two groups, G1 and G2 with users. I want to set the permission as follow: All users can read all pages, created by users of G1 and G2. Only users of G1 can edit pages created by users of G1 and only users of G2 can edit pages created by users of G2. Is there a way? Thanks for your help.

sorry if this is a duplicatge - stuff seems to be going into the aether -------------------------- Im connecting to my server at work with a reverse ssh tunnel ie from my office ssh -R 2096:localhost:80 www.homeserver.com and then i go home I then point a browser at home to http://homeserver:2096 and i get my default apache page from work . the mediawiki is installed into http://workserver/mediawiki and sitting in my office i can access it. Ive had to add to my client /etc/hosts workserver 192.168.0.1 (my homeserver IP address) When , from home i go to http://homeserver:2096/mediawiki I get the 'you must set up your wiki' page, although the wiki is running and my secretary can access it. Ive not gone right through the installation through the SSH tunnel in case I lose everything that is already there. Whats going on ? Is this soluble ?

anyone else running wiki on a windows server?
by Isaac Gonzalez 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

I don't think I ever mentioned that following instructions worked great for mediawiki 1.4.5 on win 2k3 w/iis6 ...a lil tricky to get image magick working but not too bad overall. I am excited to be part of the wiki community and look forward to more implementations of it and possibly providing support to other wiki users. -Isaac

Changed DocumentRoot and now the images don't show
by Thiago F.G. Albuquerque 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

Hi, I changed DocumentRoot to the directory of the wiki and now the images don't show. I am using Debian Sarge. DocumentRoot used to be /var/www/. And the wiki was installed in /var/www/wiki/ ($wgScriptPath = 'wiki/'). Then I changed DocumentRoot to /var/www/wiki/ and set $wgScriptPath to ''. Summarizing: Before: DocumentRoot: /var/www/ $wgScriptPath = 'wiki/'; After: DocumentRoot: /var/www/wiki/ $wgScriptPath = ''; But now the images don't show. What shows is the link, like this: Imagem:Outlook3.JPG <http://wiki/index.php/Imagem:Outlook3.JPG> When I click in the link, I'm taken to the history page and then, when I click to open the image, I get the message: Not Found The requested URL /images/1/1c/Outlook5.JPG was not found on this server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apache/1.3.33 Server at wiki Port 80 But in the server, the file is there, in /var/www/wiki/images/1/1c/Outlook5.jpg Can anybody help me?

RE: [Mediawiki-l] Google search on nav bar
by Alistair Johnson 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

Hi Ben, We hacked up a custom skin for our Intranet mediawiki installation which includes code to easily search MediaWiki or Google. There are probably prettier ways, but this worked for us. Hope it helps. Cheers, Al.  <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">  </script> <form name="searchform" action="<?php $this->text('searchaction') ?>" id="searchform"> <input name="q" type="hidden" value=""> <input type="radio" name="engine" checked><font color="white">Intranet</font> <input type="radio" name="engine"><font color="white">The web</font> <input name="search" type="text" <?php if($this->haveMsg('accesskey-search')) { ?>accesskey="<?php $this->msg('accesskey-search') ?>"<?php } if( isset( $this->data['search'] ) ) { ?> value="<?php $this->text('search') ?>"<?php } ?> onkeypress="return entsub(this.form)"/> <input type='image' name="fulltext" class="searchButton" src="<?php $this->text('stylepath') ?>/<?php $this->text('stylename') ?>/search.gif" alt="Search" value="<?php $this->msg('search') ?>" onClick="return ActionDeterminator();" />   </form> -----Original Message----- From: Ben Arnold (DSLWN) [mailto:BenA@datacom.co.nz] Sent: Friday, 11 November 2005 12:59 p.m. To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Google search on nav bar Is it easy to configure MediaWiki so that there is a Google search box on the navigation bar? It's definitely a nice-to-have, but I think it would be quite neat if it can be done easily.
