using external user database
by Feantur 10 Feb '05

10 Feb '05

Hello, I've got a fresh installation of MediaWiki 1.4-Something ready and I'd like use a MySQL table of userdata with this installation. Could you please provide some pointers where I'd have to look in the source to make MediaWiki read/write userdata (with that I mean things like password, username etc.) from the table using my table's structure? Thanks in advance, Feantur -- mailto:feantur@stud.meduni-graz.at ---------------------------------------------------- Sent through IMP on https://webmail.stud.uni-graz.at

Strange occurence of Special:Userlogin on the Wantedpages list
by Morten Blaabjerg 10 Feb '05

10 Feb '05

I've encountered a strange occurence of Special:Userlogin on the Wantedpages list of our wiki : http://www.crewscut.com/index.php?title=Special:Wantedpages Can anyone give a pointer as to why this link appears on the list and how to fix it? Links to the page internally are only pointers for new users to the login page, and is probably used on some pages for this purpose. If this is a bug, is it patched up the latest beta (haven't installed it yet, but will shortly). Yours, Morten :-) -- Crews Cut Community http://www.crewscut.com Morten Blaabjerg Dronningensgade 4B, DK-5000 Odense C. Tlf. +45 65 90 60 88

How to display image (logo) before wiki menu
by Vivek Gite 10 Feb '05

10 Feb '05

Hi all, I'm trying to achieve this since last couple of days but no luck so far. I had modified the css (stylesheets) files and templates file. I was able to see image but entire look and feel of wiki gets changed. Is any way out to change it? Or do I need to modify the file which generates the code? I tried the .pt (template) file but it generates more error then the ever :( I tried both 1.3.x and 1.4beta Any helps is appreciated -- Vivek G Gite __________________________________ Who am I?

Anyone know of a way to be able to refresh the link tables from a web based interface? I don't have shell access to my site. -- ~Jason Walker Take back the web - Get Firefox!

Wiki Monobook skin acting funky
by Taneem A T 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

Hello, I have run into some odd problems in the past few hours. I run a wiki at http://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~syde08/wiki As you can see, it is not displaying the Monobook template properly. This problem occurred after my server admin upgraded their PHP and MySQL services. The odd thing is that the Cologne Blue, Classic and Nostalgia skins all work, but I don't even get the option to switch to Monobook when I go to my user preferences. Can someone shed some light on what is happening? I will try to provide whatever more information you need. Thanks, Taneem Talukdar

How to tweak xhtml_slim.pt?
by Rusty Shackleford 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

I've made some changes to xhtml_slim.pt -- in particular I want to add a right-hand-side column to the page with links to other material. Right now, it seems like none of my edits to xhtml_slim.pt have any effect, even after restarting apache. What do I need to do to tweak the page layout? Is it necessary to restart apache or can I just save the file? I'm using 1.3.9 on a linux machine running apache2. TIA
