Installation Problems
by Jason McPeak 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

MediaWiki 1.5.4 installation Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems. Checking environment... * WARNING: PHP 4.3.2 or higher is recommended. Older versions from 4.1.x up may work but are not actively supported. PHP 4.1.2: ok * Warning: PHP's register_globals option is enabled. MediaWiki will work correctly, but this setting increases your exposure to potential security vulnerabilities in PHP-based software running on your server. You should disable it if you are able. * PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) * Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. * PHP's memory_limit is 16M. If this is too low, installation may fail! Attempting to raise limit to 20M... ok. * Have zlib support; enabling output compression. * Neither Turck MMCache nor eAccelerator are installed, can't use object caching functions * Found GNU diff3: /usr/bin/diff3. * Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. * Installation directory: /home/m/c/mcpeakfamily.org/html/wiki * Script URI path: /wiki Run me from the command line please. Looking at the few places it spits out "Run me from the command line please." it is checking the connection to make sure it is command line. Ideas???

Re: Wie gleichzeitig mehrere Wikis betreiben
by Arena Andrea 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

Zu beginn, ich komm mit diesem Mailsystem nicht klar. Unter http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki/9142 habe ich mein Problem geschildert. Welche Emailadresse muss ich brauchen um meine Probleme mit meiner eigenen Wiki zu lösen? Und was genau muss im Betreff stehen, um einen saubere Hierarchie zu behalten? ok, habe über die Tage etwas daran gearbeitet. Mein erstes Anliegen: Im Moment habe ich 4 versch. wikis. Alle sind so konfiguriert: $wgSharedUploadPath = 'http://www.xx.ch/common/wiki/images'; # Path on the file system where shared uploads can be found $wgSharedUploadDirectory = '/home/xx/public_html/common/wiki/images'; # Set this to false especially if you have a set of files that need to be # accessible by all wikis, and you do not want to use the hash (path/ a/aa/) # directory layout. $wgHashedSharedUploadDirectory = true; $wgSharedUploadDBname = 'xxx_wikiartikel'; $wgUploadPath = "http://www.xx.ch/common/wiki/images"; $wgUploadDirectory = "/home/xxx/public_html/common/wiki/images"; so weit so gut. Alle Bilder sind in einem Ordner. Durch das verschieben der Bilder, passiert es vereinzelt, dass bei einer Artikelseite, die Bilder mit einem ? markiert sind,bearbeitet man den Artikel und Speichert ihn neu ab, werden die Bilder wieder angezeigt. Gibt es ein script der solche änderungen automatisch vornehmen kann? Zur eigentlichen Frage. Wie kann ich jetzt die Bilder untereinander gebrauchen? Habe das Bild [[Bild:Glas.gif]] durch die Deutsche Wiki hochgeladen, wie verwende ich es in der Italienischen wiki? hoffentlich hattet Ihr auch so schöne Weihnachten wie ich ;-D andy

How to add / edit drop down menus in Clean Skin
by Piyush Varma 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

Hi, I want to add and update menu options in Clean.php skin. The skin was downloaded from http://wiki.kevcom.com/wiki/Clean_Skin. I found follo: lines of code which I believe creates the menu options: // Navigation links foreach ($this->data['nav_urls'] as $key => $item) { $href = htmlspecialchars($item['href']); $text = strtolower(htmlspecialchars( $this->translator->translate($key))); if ($key == "upload" && $isEnglish) $text = "upload files"; $link = "<a href='$href'>$text</a>"; if ($key == "help") $helpLink = $link; if ($key == "recentchanges") $recentLink = $link; if ($key == "upload") $uploadLink = $link; if ($key == "specialpages") $specialLink = $link; if ($key == "recentchangeslinked") $relatedLink = $link; } I also found that function showMenu(menuID, parentID, alignment) is called with options. My skin drop down options are different. Hence how do I find the definition of $this->data['nav_urls']. Where do I learn more on $this->data please? Thank you, Piyush

Export Wiki's to Static HTML
by Joshua Seagroves 27 Dec '05

27 Dec '05

I have a simple WGET script running now to extract Wiki's once they get to a stage that we want. However, the links don't update and fix themselves appropriately and was wondering if someone is trying to do the same and maybe go some kind of hack working. All I am trying to do is export to static html, have the links inside update and keep the metadata. Thanks Joshua

create, rename a user - external user data base (2nd attempt)
by Uwe Baumbach 27 Dec '05

27 Dec '05

Hi, since this is a very important topic for us I repeat my question(s) here. P.S.: If these questions are too stupid: (How) Can I do a full text search of the whole mailing list archive? =================================================== Is there a official of half-official way to rename a user _name_ ?! Because: We have to use an external user database with existing (about) 2000 users. With the first logon at our wiki a user record will be created with the name taken from the external table (using AuthPlugin.php) Only now we realized that there were "bad" user names, e.g. "X0456" (formerly only a logon name - in MW a apparent name) or "kilroy" (first letter in lower case). Those user names are already in use with a lot of creatings/changes of articles. Furthermore in this external database a UserID (number) is used - and copied into the MW user table too. Now we have two situations that claim renaming username: a) The user wants to do so (because of senseless user name). In that case we could suppress this feature for the future in our external application, but if would be nice to have it. b) Admins want to do so (because of user names with underscores in the name or first letter in lower case already in the MW user table...) The way _I_ see is: changing all xyz_user_text fields in all MW tables and rename/redirect the user page article. 1. Would that be stable? 2. Is there a way to do so transparently from the MW surface (for admins only)? 3. The function getCanonicalName in AuthPlugin.php can change the user name gotten from external. Is this change persistant in that way that a new created user record would get the "munged" user name? -- Thanks.

how to delete my wiki page? mistakes orphans etc.
by Thomas David Burns 27 Dec '05

27 Dec '05

I'd like to get rid of some of the pages in my wiki. I've spent about an hour RTFMing around in the docs, can't seem to find the answer. Or is the philosophy to never delete anything? Even if this is the case, seems like the user guide should have an entry "Deleting Wiki pages: Just don't." I guess I could use mysql to delete them directly from the db, but I bet it would be easy to make a ghastly mess. Dave

Customizing Monobook Problems (IE/Firefox)
by Carson Ka Shun Au 27 Dec '05

27 Dec '05

I have customized some parts of the monobook skin on my wiki - www.wikihardware.com However, whilst things appear quite normal with IE, with Firefox, the left sidebar isn't correctly placed (placed too far down). Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

To delete all the pages on the data-base written by a given User
by Frames Project 26 Dec '05

26 Dec '05

Is there any tool to delete all the pages on the data-base having been written by a given User ? I think it is the easiest way to recover vandalized pages, is that true ? On the data base, I cannot find out were are the pages. Could you tell me ? Thanks François Colonna

Re: "user_groups" database corruption

Tell them you're not using third-party software; tell them you have a database table called "user_groups" that has a problem. Don't mention MediaWiki at all -- it's an MySQL problem! If you're lucky, they can fix that file's permissions. If you're slightly less lucky, they may restore it from a recent backup. There may be a way of re-creating it if the corresponding .MYD and .FRM files are intact. If the file is simply gone, consider some other service provider! :::: There was a time when religion ruled the world.
