It's pretty good. It ignores anything inside XML-style tags and non- word-like text in general. And for that odd term of art, there's always highlighting the word, right-clicking, and picking either "Ignore Spelling" or "Learn Spelling." (I try not to do the latter unless I've checked another source!) :::: Well, gotta get back to whatever it was I was avoiding... :::: :::: Jan Steinman (http://www.IslandSeeds.org) ::::

Yea, I briefly considered that, but the other sites (including MW1.4 sites) ARE working with MySQL 5, and this is a spankin' brand new installation of MacOS X 10.4.3, complete with the latest patches. <?php phpinfo() ?> reports PHP Version 4.3.4, but I see that it also reports mysql Client API Version 3.23.49. Sigh. I'll poke around a bit more... Is there anything changed between 1.4 and 1.5 that might be using a new PHP <---> MySQL API? I *really* don't want to change PHP from the Apple-supplied version if I don't have to. The last time I did that, my clients' sites were down for a week while I hunted down various things that broke. I guess I'll go see what Liyanage is bundling these days... > Rob Church > > On 13/12/05, Jan Steinman <Jan(a)bytesmiths.com> wrote: >> Well, I touched the GRANT table for the MySQL user for this site, and >> re-loaded, and now it gets a bit further.

RE: [Mediawiki-l] Spell-checker

Thanks Aron. I'm not usre I understand that part: Sadly there are not many hooks in the mediawiki source and on needs to be added to support this extension. Add the line proceeded by a plus into the right place (indicated by the line number and lines of content) in your includes/EditPage.php file. I need to add wfRunHooks( 'EditPageToolbar', array( &$toolbar, NULL ) ); in EditPage.php? Also, what is the name of the default skin? -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Aron Rubin Sent: 12 décembre, 2005 23:29 To: MediaWiki Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Spell-checker Simon Renshaw wrote: > Hi, > > Is there a way to add a spell-checker to the wiki (version 1.5.3)? > > Thanks! > Been working on it.

Another reason why I don't think I need to go there is that phpMyAdmin 2.7.0-pl1 (latest) is working flawlessly. You'd think that would exercise the PHP-MySQL interface pretty thoroughly. I went to Marc Liyanage's site, and it looks like he's got PHP 4.3.11, vs Apple-supplied 4.3.4. So I guess that might be my next step. But I'm *REALLY* hoping someone will chip in and say "In LocalSettings.php, change $wgPhpMySQLInterface to 'mungo_jerry" or something similar. I haven't seen anything like that in the docs, though... > Rob Church > > On 13/12/05, Jan Steinman <Jan(a)bytesmiths.com> wrote: >> Well, I touched the GRANT table for the MySQL user for this site, and >> re-loaded, and now it gets a bit further.

External Images with thumb
by Martin Baumann 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Hi, is there a way to use external image links with a thumb preview? At the moment I copy the image files on my webspace by hand. In the wiki I enter just the URL to the file. So the image is shown correct. But I want to use small pictures as a preview and the user can click on these small images and get the full size image. Because of huge safe mode problems - I am 3 weeks on it now :-( - I decided not to use image upload function managed by wiki itself.

Well, I touched the GRANT table for the MySQL user for this site, and re-loaded, and now it gets a bit further. Instead of a stack trace, I now get the following: > Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties. > > Try waiting a few minutes and reloading. > > (Can't contact the database server: Client does not support > authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading > MySQL client (localhost)) Does this suggest anything? Again, this site (www.EcoReality.org) was working fine with MySQL 4.0.16, and my other wikis that are at MW1.4 are working fine with MySQL 5.0.16. :::: He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

by Martin Baumann 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Hi, I am definitely loogen on as SysOp. When I click 'unprotect' I am asked for a reason for unprotecting this site. No matter what I enter here after I clicked the Confirm button I am redirected to just the same site and the same procedure starts. The site is not unprotected !!! What can be the reason for such a thing? Thanks, Martin ______________________________________________________________ Verschicken Sie romantische, coole und witzige Bilder per SMS!

Wiki Names
by Laurie Lewis 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Hi, I have set up a multiple wiki site by putting separate wikis in their own directories. At this time they are named by their directory location- that is:- http://domain.name/language.code/etc. I have put these entries into the interwiki table as they exist as:- en http://domain.name/en 0 0 Each wiki has its own database name:- example_en example_da When I look at wikipedia I see naming such as http://language.code/domain.name/etc Can I do this without having to go and register subdomains etc. If so how? Will the current database structure support this?? I am very new at this so any help appreciated. Laurie

1.5.2 problems with MySQL 5.0.16?
by Jan Steinman 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

I just upgraded my server to MySQL 5.0.16 max from 4.0.16. I host about a dozen websites that use MySQL, and all of them seem to be working fine, including those that were using MediaWiki 1.4. But the ONE website that was using MW 1.5.2 is busted! I get the following stack dump on the Main Page: Error in fetchObject(): MySQL server has gone away Backtrace: GlobalFunctions.php line 451 calls wfbacktrace() Database.php line 531 calls wfdebugdiebacktrace() MessageCache.php line 151 calls databasemysql::fetchobject() MessageCache.php line 94 calls messagecache::loadfromdb() MessageCache.php line 247 calls messagecache::load() GlobalFunctions.php line 342 calls messagecache::get() GlobalFunctions.php line 322 calls wfmsggetkey() GlobalFunctions.php line 297 calls wfmsgreal() OutputPage.php line 657 calls wfmsgnodb() Database.php line 411 calls outputpage::databaseerror() Database.php line 358 calls databasemysql::reportqueryerror() Database.php line 734 calls databasemysql::query() Database.php line 656 calls databasemysql::select() LinkCache.php line 162 calls databasemysql::selectfield() Title.php line 1150 calls linkcache::addlinkobj() index.php line 86 calls title::getarticleid() Any quick hints before I go digging deeper? :::: He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Lost icons
by Michael Bartmess 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

I have only had the MediaWiki software running for a few days. I deleted a page from the wiki (don't know if that caused the problem) and now the icons are missing from the editing window. I verified that the .png files (such as the button_bold.png) are still in the skins\common\images folder. I verified that the EditPage.php is intact. Anybody have any ideas hwo i can get my icons back? Along with the edit page icons for bold, italic, etc, it seems to have affected the link to the mediawiki icon at the bottom of the page.
