MediWiki ACL
by Halah Hassan 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

HI, I need some help in setting up access control list for users. What i am trying to implement is a bit more than what MediaWiki 1.5.3 supports. Our company has a number of different business units, each of which wants to have its own restricted area on the wiki that is only accessible by the users in that specific business unit. What i need to implement is as follows: Groups - each group has a number of people in it ( this i have done) Then i want to create pages that belong to a group and if the pages are restricted then they are only visible to the members of the group and restricted to other users. I have managed to create namespaces for the differnet business units we have and have done groups for each business unit. But i do not know how to restrict pages of a name space to a certain group only??? Anyone done anything similar? or have any ideas of how i can implement this? thanks

Saving web pages -> Wiki?
by Forrest Aldrich 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

I want to begin archiving some web content into the wiki - under tutorials, articles, et al. I wonder if someone has a means by which to take the downloaded images/code (strip ads, and unwanted garbage) and convert it to MediaWiki format... then store it in the designated location.

upload html files
by Greg Rodenhiser 18 Dec '05

18 Dec '05

We are using Mediawiki 1.5.1 to organize documentation for our department. The problem is that we cannot get Mediawiki to allow html files to be uploaded. I have enabled doc extentioons and that works. I have the following line in my LocalSettings.php $wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'doc', 'pdf', 'html' ); This allows all the above mentioned extentions to be uploaded, but for whatever reason Mediawiki continues to reject .html files. The error says the file does not appear to be an image. Why can't we upload an html file, even though the extention is configured to be allowed? Thanks!!

howto $wgDebugLogGroups
by FxParlant 18 Dec '05

Hi, I guess the $wgDebugLogGroups array could help me filter the wfDebug messages, but I haven't got any idea how to set it. Can someone tell me what to put in the array, and what to put in the pages to have the messages directed to a special log file. Thanks a lot François

Merging user data between IPB 1.3 and MediaWiki 1.5

Perhaps an answer a little less blunt! >Have you considered looking at the code? >Rob Church shardsofmetal wrote: > I am trying to merge user data between IPB 1.3.1 and MediaWiki 1.5.

(if necessary, I can move the tables to the MediaWiki database, but I need to know how to make MediaWiki add info to another table) - try the documentation otherwise follow the code People are much more willing to help when it can be seen that you have made some effort yourself; if you want to use this software it is worthwhile looking around the documentation and understanding how it works. -Arthur

Merging user data between IPB 1.3 and MediaWiki 1.5
by shardsofmetal 18 Dec '05

I am trying to merge user data between IPB 1.3.1 and MediaWiki 1.5. However, there are a couple things that I need to know. 1. How can I change the name of the session cookie used in MediaWiki. 2. Is there anywhere (like in the database) that MediaWiki stores the session information for each user? 3. Where can I make edits to force MediaWiki to add info to another database also when registering a user? (if necessary, I can move the tables to the MediaWiki database, but I need to know how to make MediaWiki add info to another table) There might be more that I need to know, but that is all for now. Thank you, shardsofmetal

How to change a user password external script
by Piyush Varma 18 Dec '05

18 Dec '05

Hi, I have tried to change the user_password value for a user_name value of a particular user using PHP md5("password_value") function. But, it does not work. I have also tried to use a 2-step process: 1: $p = md5( $password); 2: return md5( "{$userid}-{$p}" ); # to get the hashed password The hashed password value does not match with the value in MySql user table. The value of $password = "123qweA" and the user.user_password table value is fce34f65fd0acb4c716bc2305e47f7c2 While the value I derive using above 1 and 2 lines is 8021331ef9a813b4713630fb1c3ca0fc using $userid = "pvarma" What should I do to change a user's password outside the MediaWiki web interface please? Thank you, Piyush

The data is all stored in your database; simple use your usual database management app to view the data. -Arthur -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Zen Sent: 17 December 2005 16:50 To: mediawiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org Subject: [Mediawiki-l] How do i access my raw data if I can't move my wiki? Hi, I created about a dozen wikis to use as: - draft websites - info storage After doing a big delete-the c drive-and-start-over, I've found it too difficult atm to transfer the files to a new set of wikis. But there's certain data I really need from the old files. Does anyone know how i can read the raw data in my old wikis? Really appreciate the help cos this data is quite important to me!
