Firefox shows outdated wikipages
by Gerold Meisinger 21 May '05

21 May '05

Hi! I recently updatet MediaWiki from 1.3.9 to 1.4.4. I copied all old tables via phpAdmin ("copy structures and data") and installed the new wiki normally using the new tables. The wiki works, but when I edit a page, Firefox (1.0.4) always shows outdated pages. Even after reloading the page. Only clearing the chache or restarting Firefox helps. Sometimes also the skin changes to a plain version. With Opera (7.54) everything works fine. LocalSettings.php: $wgScriptPath = ""; $wgScript = "$wgScriptPath/index.php"; $wgRedirectScript = "$wgScriptPath/redirect.php"; What's wrong? greetings - Gerold Meisinger

RE: [Mediawiki-l] direct SQL Queries example
by Alistair Johnson 21 May '05

21 May '05

Pablo, I'm doing this against our MySQL and MS SQL servers via custom php extensions. It works well & is easily incorporated within the MediaWiki interface so none of my users is the wiser. Regarding your specific request - the comment at the top of the specialasksql.php code suggests that it would only work for queries against the cur table. " * If enabled through $wgAllowSysopQueries = true, this class * let users with sysop right the possibility to make sql queries * against the cur table. * Heavy queries could slow down the database specially for the * biggest wikis."

Re: [Mediawiki-l] locking down mediawiki ?
by =James Birkholz= 21 May '05

21 May '05

I haven't been following the thread, but I can see many situations where mediaWiki is useful for a few editors (even just one), because it is so easy to use as an editor. I even use it for situations where I'm the only viewer. (complex notes that I can access from any computer.)

Image - different caption vs alt text
by Matt Gardner 20 May '05

20 May '05

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Extended_image_syntax Thumbnail with caption text underneath that has one or more links This option does not seem to work correctly on my page and works inconsistently on Wiki page. Specifically, the image alt text does not display what is written as caption. a.. My page - Incorrect alt text, correct caption: a.. [[Image:Family.jpg|thumb|The Gardners' all gathered for [[2004-11|Thanksgiving 2004]]]] b.. Alt text: The Gardners' all gathered for c.. Caption: The Gardners' all gathered for Thanksgiving 2004 b.. Wiki - Correct hover, correct caption: a.. Tst.png (New syntax for images - definition of "thumbnail, thumb") b.. [[Image:tst.png|right|thumb|100px|This is a globe, and take a look at it in [[Media:tst.png|the actual size]]]] c.. Alt text: This is a globe, and take a look at it in the actual size d.. Caption: This is a globe, and take a look at it in the actual size c.. Wiki - Incorrect hover, correct caption: a.. Westminstpalace.jpg (Thumbnail with caption...) b.. [[Image:Westminstpalace.jpg|right|thumbnail|This is the [[Palace of Westminster]] in London]] c.. Alt text: This is the in London d.. Caption: This is the Palace of Westminster in London By the way, it might immediately appear as though the file extension (.jpg or .png) might be to blame, but I just added Family.png and it still does not work. I also removed the caption from my code and left just the basic link, the alt text is still incorrect. Suggestions? Thanks.

Whatlinkshere display
by Phil Boswell 20 May '05

20 May '05

Would it be difficult to arrange matters so that the Whatlinkshere page showed indirect links through a transcluded template in similar fashion to those through a REDIRECT page? The next question would be whether it might be possible to add a twist-down button like on "enhanced recent changes" so that these "sub-trees" could be hidden, which is obviously doable, but since the equivalent suggestion for TOCs has been sitting in the queue for lo-so-many-yonks I wouldn't want to be holding my breath for it. -- Phil [[en:User:Phil Boswell]]

problem with installation: upgrade mysql client
by b h 20 May '05

20 May '05

Hi I'm having trouble installing media wiki. If I was to guess, I think it has to do with it not being compatible with the longer hashes used in new mysql authentication http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/password-hashing.html Here is my info: PHP 5.0.2: ok PHP server API is apache2handler; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. PHP is configured with no memory_limit. Have zlib support; enabling output compression. Turck MMCache not installed, can't use object caching functions Couldn't find GD library or ImageMagick; image thumbnailing disabled. Installation directory: E:\www\htdocs\wiki Script URI path: /wiki Warning: $wgSecretKey key is insecure, generated with mt_rand(). Consider changing it manually. MySQL error 1251: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client and then further down the page it says could not connect to database. it's on win2000, but that might be irrelevant. Since this release (stable 1.4.4) was downloaded today, I would think it would include the support. I'm not sure what else the problem could be. here is a portion (edited for privacy and length) mysql> select * from user; +-----------+------+-------------------------------------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ | Host | User | Password | Select_priv | Insert_priv | Update_priv | Delete_priv | Create_priv | +-----------+------+-------------------------------------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ | localhost | root | *6MYLONGHASHVALUEISHERE | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | +-----------+------+-------------------------------------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+ sorry if I've missed something simple. any help appreciated. thanks b __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
