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.

Use XmlHttpRequest
by kaluguran seven 26 Dec '05

26 Dec '05

Hi! Has anyone used xmlhttprequest in mediawiki? I am a newbie in using that but I made it work for sometime and it really worked but after several test i get some error. The error is regarding responseText. I get the html version of the page instead of the xml that I made. I found out that the objectcache prevents the page to execute the xml. After I delete the objectcache in the database, then the program works the way I want it but then produce error again after sometime. Do you know how to disable the object caching. and if ever I do that, is there any consequence? I hope someone helps me.. --j*

"old mySQL" versions message during install of v1.5.2
by D B 25 Dec '05

I seem to be having a similar problem installing MediaWiki 1.5.4 on Mac OS X 10.3.9 with Mysql 5.0.17, Apache 1.3.29 and PHP-4.3.11 (as was recommended by http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Running_MediaWiki_on_Mac_OS_X). I can't seem to resolve the "You are using MySQL 4.1 server, but PHP is linked to old client libraries" error message: MediaWiki 1.5.4 installation Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems.

A link on that page directs me to http://www.php.net/mysqli.

is it possible to configure User pages as anonymous page?
by Manuel Chica Serrano 24 Dec '05

24 Dec '05

Hi!! Firstly, thanks to Rob Church for the last answer. Now, a new problem, i have the following lines in LocalSettings.php: $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = false; $wgWhitelistRead = array ( all pages that could be view by anonymous sers ); Although User:XXX pages are included en wgWhitelistRead, anonymous users can't view them. Why?? Thanks a lot!! Bye ______________________________________________ Renovamos el Correo Yahoo! Nuevos servicios, más seguridad http://correo.yahoo.es

Re: easy html formatting?

I think, not only is the answer, "No," but it's actually, "No, isn't that grand!" Case in point: I've never seen a language as beautiful and easy to read as Smalltalk. Yet, everyone who creates a new language makes it look either like C, or like BASIC. But the way it looks affects the way it's used! I very much prefer wiki markup to XML-style things like HTML. I find it really liberates my thinking, so that formatting is more natural and more subconscious. And I've been doing HTML longer than I've been doing wiki! I think Ward Cunningham was aware of this. Besides the inventor of wiki, he was also a Smalltalk pioneer and a HyperCard enthusiast. He could have made it more "HTML-like", or could have spent his time making an end-user HTML-entry system instead of wiki, but he crafted wiki markup to fill a need that he saw as unfilled with HTML. >> It doesn't make sense to me that we have put manual <BR> tags to >> get a >> break. Is there anything I can install extra that would let me >> display what >> I >> entered the way I entered it? If I put a line break after each >> line, it >> should distinguish >> it as a line break and insert a <BR> when displaying. Hey, why don't you try the <poem></poem> extension that went whipping through here a while ago? But this is a strange request, coming from someone who wanted "proper HTML formatting." Certainly, HTML is even LESS LIKELY to "display what [you] entered, the way [you] entered it"! I think you're just being grouchy. Relax. Play with wiki markup a while.

Problem with a french special character
by Cédric 23 Dec '05

23 Dec '05

Hello, I have installed mediawiki on http://wiki.placedusport2.com/ to give a place for community work. I had to export and reimport mysql data via phpmyadmin. All right, except french spécial char "à" (a with an accent on top) wich appear as "?" in every page. I try to change this via a little script in wiki_cur and wiki_text tables, but nothing work. Could anyone help me? Sorry if the question was already asked, I have found nothing about this problem. Regards Cédric ps: here is the script function Remplace($table, $champid, $champtext) { $res=mysql_query('select '.$champid.', '.$champtext.' from '.$table); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) { //the string used as search string in str_replace is the one I can see thought phpmyadmin in cur/old_text fields. $row[$champtext]=str_replace('ï¿½', utf8_encode('à'), $row[$champtext]); mysql_query('UPDATE '.$table.' SET '.$champtext.'="'.mysql_escape_string($row[$champtext]).'" where '.$champid.'='.$row[$champid]); } }
