Hello!
First, I have a News page with a list of events which looks like that:
03/04/2005 Event 3
01/02/2005 Event 2
01/01/2005 Event 1
Second, I have the Main Page, and I want to include top N events from the News page into the Main Page.
Are there any features in WikiMedia to do it in the simplest possible way? Please provide me with the section in the documentation or some example concerning this question.
Thanks in advance.

We just tried going to 1.4.0 and got this result - make sense to
anyone?! TIA

MySQL 4.1.10a with default-character-set=cp1251 in my.cnf
No errors while importing bg.wikipedia. Opening any imported page returns database error, but new added entries appear correctly, and all messages + navigation are in Bulgarian:
http://encyclopedia.novdom.org
Comment the default-character-set=cp1251 in my.cnf and all imported data pop up.
Any suggestions how to launch the bg wikimedia import with cp1251 preserved in my.cnf.
Thanks,
Plamen
You might also consider looking into the charset handling cabalities (or
lack thereof) of the perl functions you're using. They might be assuming
ascii or latin1, and a bot slurping languages other than English is likely
to encounter non-latin1. You might need to do some extra string-handling to
convert between the charset that the server hands to the bot and the charset
that the bot uses to talk with the target page.

Hello all,
After searching the archives and mediawiki site for help I haven't been able
to find the solution.
I have a wiki running with PHP 4.3.2 on Red Hat ES 4.
For some reason I can upload small files of about 75k, but not files of around
700k. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing that could effect upload
sizes? Thanks in advance for any help!
PS: There is plenty of disk space.
PHP is set:
upload_max_filesize = 20M
post_max_size = 20M
My LocalSettings.php is set:
$wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'ogg', 'zip', 'pdf' );
$wgUploadSizeWarning = 1024000;
$wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/images";
$wgUploadDirectory = "$IP/images";
$wgDisableUploads = false;
$wgUseImageResize = false;

This is probably a dumb question, but I'm not finding the answer
anywhere. Is there a way to lock down mediawiki so that nothing can be
edited if you're not registered and logged in?

When I ran mediawiki for the first time and it ran the web setup
program I received the following error right at the beginning of
running this file: config/index.php
Warning: main(convertLinks.inc): failed to open stream: No such file
or directory in
/home/stephenb/public_html/wiki/maintenance/updaters.inc on line 9
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'convertLinks.inc'
(include_path='') in
/home/stephenb/public_html/wiki/maintenance/updaters.inc on line 9
I am installing 1.4.0 on a Linux system. The file convertLinks.inc
is in the same directory as updaters.inc. The software is completely
stock -- I've made no changes except to temporarily set the
permissions on the config dir to 777.
Thanks for any help.

Hello everybody! I am creating my wiki but I need to present my
progress regularly to my project's heads. I can mail the .php, but the
content of the page and other thing are by DB. So, I read
Documentation::Administration, and I decide to make a dump of the DB
('Backing up data: Creating a database dump') and recuperate it in my
bosses' computer (following 'Importing the database dump').
I go to /opt/lampp/bin (I use Xampp) and ./mysql . Then 'use wikidb',
I try 'select * from cur where cur_namespace='Portada';' and all
right... but trying
./mysqldump --user=wikiuser --password=mypassword \wikidb > wiki-volcatdb-1.txt
does
./mysqldump: Got error: 1044: Access denied for user
'wikiuser'@'localhost' to database 'wikidb' when using LOCK TABLES
In localsettings.php I have:
$wgDBserver = "localhost";
$wgDBname = "wikidb";
$wgDBuser = "wikiuser";
$wgDBpassword = "mypassword";
$wgDBprefix = "";
I installed from root...I don't have permissions in the DB??
By the way, I am trying to work from home using Knoppix; I have read
that I can modify permissions and so write in disk, but it's
reasonable to work with Wikipedia and Xampp using Knoppix liveCD?
Thanks in advance
Jordi
