Hi All,
I suddenly started getting (5 min ago):
Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in
/usr/local/www/data-dist/includes/ChangesList.php on line 330
when I load the recent changes page of my wiki (1.4.1, FreeBSD). The only
special thing I can think of that happened was that a page was "moved" for
the first time. No source changes were made.
Any ideas how to get this back on track?
Thanks,
Jeff

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Firefox and HTML
I don´t know if this is a pure Firefox thing, or if there might be a chance
to fix this trough Media Wiki.
I activated raw HTML and everything seems to be fine in IE, yet it does not
display correctly in Firefox.
In Firefox images don´t appear...
Is there anything I can do?

I've read this page:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Documentation:Security
but I'd like to know how to require editors to log in first, and how to
disable account creation.
Also, I'm not sure how to disable running PHP scripts in any directories
except the script directories. Can I just copy this ato the end of my
httpd.conf file and then reboot the server:
<Location "/wiki/images">
php_admin_flag engine off
AddType text/plain .html .htm .shtml
</Location>
All related comments on how to secure a wiki are welcome.
TIA
hello,
is there a possibility to block ip ranges in MediaWiki?
at www.vdr-wiki.de we have increasing problems with robot spamer. it is
a lot of work to block individual IPs, as the robot is changing
permanently (but allways inbetween a certain range).
or can you recomend us other possibilities to stop that abuse?
thank you

Hi, I have modified the source to make that the action=edit
reads/writes from a file. I modify it with fopen in mode r+, and no
problem when the new text is long equal or less than old text, but
when is major it overwrites the old text as I want, but also the
following. There's any function to write something in a file but not
overwriting it?
Also, as I now don't care of content in bd, all the conflicts of
simultaneous users handled by Mediawiki in EditPage.php now have to be
handled by me, right? (with flock, I suppose)
Thanks in advance
Jordi
Thanks for the guidance. I'm sorry if I didn't say it clearly enough in the beginning.

If you read back, you'll see he wants account creation to be done
through a separate system, which his authentication plugin for MediaWiki
uses as a source.
Carlton, you can change the message at the top of Special:Userlogin by
editing the [[MediaWiki:Loginprompt]] message. Include a link to the
other account system there, and I think it should be pretty straightforward.

No, I'm not building a wall here, I'm building a better door. Or you can think of it as a passport that will allow the users access to systems other than the Wiki. I'll be happy to explain more about my motives if you're interested, but let's not mock what we don't understand, mmkay?

Uhm... that sounds like you want to make a wall, then knock a big hole
in it!
Either you allow people to create accounts, or you don't.
I'd like to publicly apologize for letting the "italics" thread go
beyond Lee's question, my response, and his confirmation.
There's nothing more to be said, guys. It's a boring topic. :)

Permit me to propose a perhaps uninformed but pragmatic answer:
I sometimes want a box around some text in the typewriter font. This is
accomplished by indenting the text (in other words, by not starting in the
first
column) in the edit window. I may have a blank line in between text that I
want
surrounded by a single box, as follows
But the blank line will close the box around the preceding paragraph, and
a new surrounding box will appear after the blank. To make the blank line
appear and not create two boxes, I can instead
insert an italic space where the blank line was with this syntax:
'' ''
Now this paragraph and the preceding one will be included in the same
bounding box.
Of course, I could have used ''' ''' instead of '' '' on the blank line; in
that
case, my answer applies to a variant of John Blumel's question, in which the
phrase
"bold face" replaces the word "italics."

Hello,
Can one insert a date/time stamp in MediaWiki markup without inserting a
login name?
I looked around http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing and could not
find anything that did this.
