$wgshareddb
by Leonard Burton 08 Jul '05

08 Jul '05

Greetings, I made a slight modification to the Database.php [starting at line 1004] file in the wikis I run. Should this be included in the next Mediawiki release? function tableName( $name ) { global $wgSharedDB; # Skip quoted literals if ( $name{0} != '`' ) { if ( $this->mTablePrefix !== '' && strpos( '.', $name ) === false ) { $name = "{$this->mTablePrefix}$name"; } if ( isset( $wgSharedDB ) && ("{$this->mTablePrefix}user" == $name ) or ("{$this->mTablePrefix}interwiki" == $name)) { $name = "`$wgSharedDB`.`$name`"; } else { # Standard quoting $name = "`$name`"; } } return $name; } My reasoning for doing this is that if someone is using the same user table then most likely would like to use a common interwiki table. That was my use. What do you all think? -- Leonard Burton, N9URK leonardburton(a)gmail.com

EnotifWiki: 3.35 for MediaWiki 1.5beta3 - or 3.11 for MediaWiki 1.4.6 -
by Thomas Gries 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

(What is) EnotifWiki ? - Enotif means "e-mail notification" - is a special edition of MediaWiki - very close and fully based on it - permanently maintained - and offers enhanced e-mail notification functions and some more gadgets. http://sourceforge.net/projects/enotifwiki/ offers recent maintenance release of EnotifWiki for - MediaWiki 1.4.6 or - MediaWiki 1.5beta3 (this version is recommended by me) What distinguishes EnotifWiki from MediaWiki ? * e-mail notifcation also for _new_ pages (users can opt-in/out) * "You have new messages" also shown for new content on _User_ pages (EnotifWiki versions for MediaWiki 1.5 versions) * Recent Changes, Page History lines of watched pages have direct links to the difference view between the current and your last-seen version * garish green "updated" markers fly on your not-yet-seen revisions of watched pages The differences between EnotifWiki and MediaWiki become smaller and smaller.

File is corrupt?
by Zain Memon 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

I have an XML file that I want to upload. The XML extension isn't blocked (I can upload a blank XML file just fine), but for some reason, every time I try to upload this file I get the error "The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again." Since it isn't an incorrect extension, I suspect the wiki thinks my file is corrupt. This happened to me with a jpeg before as well, and I fixed it by copy/pasting the old image into a new image. The same solution didn't work for this. Can I somehow do something to have it not warn on corrupt files? I want them uploaded even if wiki thinks they are corrupt.

email notifications link to localhost
by ulrice jardin 07 Jul '05

hi, all email notifications link to localhost instead of the server. The server is in a network and the wiki is only used by people inside this network. Does it have anything to do with my problem? thx for any help Julien ____________________________________________________ Sell on Yahoo! Auctions no fees.

Uploaded document searching
by Zain Memon 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

Hey there, Is there any way I can enable document searching for .ppt, .dot, and .rtf files that are uploaded? My wiki will hold a lot of documents, and I need to be able to search through them all. I was able to do it for other documents by using this tutorial: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Uploaded_document_searching So, can I do the same for others?
