external authentication service = single sign on site wide
by Gavin Bell 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Hi all I'm building a site in mediawiki and I'm interested in getting a single signon service running across the entire site. I'm using MovableType and PunBB as components on the rest of the site. so I am interested in either using Six Apart's typekey as a remote auth service or the typekey-a-like TinyOrwell. Essentially replacing the authentication services within mediawiki with an external service I've seen a variety of articles that head in the right direction, but not yet cracked it. I can't use LDAP as the users will be on the wider internet, hence looking at other tools. Some background http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Authentication is the basic article on how server side authentication works and can be modified on mediawiki, it links to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Web_Server_authentication which links to the following implementation http://article.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/ 13943/ showing how to do a simple remote server auth over http there are a couple of typekey resources, http://del.icio.us/tag/typekey and http://typekey.torrez.org/guide/show/HomePage Here are some implementations http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=164 is an Auth_TypeKey package for PEAR for PHP http://www.neilturner.me.uk/resources/phptypekey.html -- typekey in PHP for MT http://uva.jp/dh/mt/archives/004510.html - japanese php typekey module http://www.movabletype.org/docs/tk-apps.html -- 6A notes on typekey usage there is also tinyOrwell http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/plugins/plugin/tinyorwell.html Would anyone else on the list be interested in helping me to solve this ? I think that there is sufficient in this material to implement it correctly I'm looking for guidance before I plunge in over my head many thanks Gavin ---- Gavin Bell w - takeoneonion.org (weblog) w - gavinbell.com e - gavinbell at mac.com ---- Gavin Bell w - takeoneonion.org (weblog) w - gavinbell.com e - me at gavinbell.com

RE: [Mediawiki-l] Image uploading problems

Looks like wiki don't have permission to make a new folder or to store images. Change permissions on the image folder and try again.

Enotif preferences wo'nt stick
by Diederik Oudshoorn 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Goedemiddag (Good Afternoon), I'm having problems using Enotif. After installing version mw1311+en202 AND manually applying the ALTER TABLE query to add the wl_notificationtimestamp field all looked promising. Until I noticed that the Enotif preferences did not stick: when I check the boxes for the Enotif options and click [save] in the user preference screen, al the checks EXCEPT the top one (blocking e-mail from other users) dissappear. Consequently: there is no notification of page changes. Please help thank you Diederik Oudshoorn

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Editing issue in mediawiki 1.3.6
by Jared Nyland 07 Mar '05

Brion, Yes, I checked this option and it is turned off in my php.ini file. Do you know of anything else that might cause this issue? My other option would be to upgrade to 1.3.11 to see if it fixes. Thanks again Jared >>>brion(a)pobox.com 03/07/05 9:02 pm >>> Jared Nyland wrote: >All, I have run into a small issue on my mediawiki 1.3.6 install. >When I use an apostrophe in a word like, you've, it displays it like >this: you\'ve. Has anyone seen this or know away around it? Make sure you've got magic_quotes_runtime turned off. This is a special PHP configuration option which will CORRUPT ALL YOUR DATA if on. (The default is *off*, and there is no reasonable reason to ever turn it on.) Also, upgrade to 1.3.11; there are a number of security updates since 1.3.6. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Same text at the top of all Talk pages
by FxParlant 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

Hello, I'd like to have a small text in all the pages from the same namespace(Talk:). What I mean is like the "fund raising" text from mediawiki(not editable)... but only in for a distinct namespace pages. Is there a template somewhere for each namespace that I can hack? Thanks François

Hey.. I'm courious about something. It is possible to setup MediaWiki to email someone as soon as any non-minor change is made to ANY page? That should include creation of new pages as well. thanks, Singer -- Singer X.J.
