PubCookie and MediaWiki
by Mark Cunningham 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

I've been trying to get MediaWiki 1.4.7 to use PubCookie (http://www.pubcookie.org/) as the authentication mechanism via the includes/AuthPlugin.php. Has anyone managed to this already or know how to do ir? Thanks Mark -- http://thedeadone.net

semantic extension of mediawiki
by Southern Phoenix 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

Dear all, our group has modified the MediaWiki to have a Semantic Web notion. The system is accessible from http://www.semanticwiki.jp/ It is still under development. To make it short, what we did is enabling the MediaWiki to write labeled links. We used the Category function as a reference to create a new namespace ("Term:"). Wiki pages under this namespace are enabled to write labeled links. Well, we believe that this extension enables the MediaWiki to be a content and metadata management system, and we hope it will be useful for the future development of MediaWiki. The MediaWiki version we use is 1.3.11. Regards, Hendry ---- hendry(a)nii.ac.jp http://www-kasm.nii.ac.jp http://www-kasm.nii.ac.jp/~hendry

Change section formating
by Ricardo Lopes 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

Hi, i'm using mediawiki with the default style (monobook), i like the style but i want to indent the sections. In other words, when i create a second level section (= = on the wiki text) i want to indent the text for that section 5px, for a third level section ( = = = ) indent 10px; and so on. Any ideas? Thanks, Ricardo Lopes.

BETA Spellchecker
by Chris McIntosh 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

I have created a Spellchecker that is working great on my local Intranet. There are still some things that I need to do. * Check for any security vulnerabilities, I think there are some major XSS stuff. * Clean up the documentation. Other than that it is functional. Take a look at my wiki for more information on it and send me some feedback with your thoughts and suggestions. http://mcintosh.cjb.net/wiki/index.php/Spell_Checker#How_it_works Thanks Chris McIntosh

External authentication (e.g. siteminder)
by Cary Collett 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

Hello! I'm new to the list, but have been using the mediawiki for a few months now, and am now interested in trying to introduce into my workplace. One of the show stoppers, at least as near as I can tell, is our use of SiteMinder for user auth. I'm wondering how difficult it would be to get MediaWiki to play with it. Protecting the site is easy, obviously. But how to get MW to use the SM username when attributing edits? And we don't want to do something crazy like have to load all our company IDs into the MW user database. For what it's worth, I'm not too worried about admins. I think we'd be able to just create 'real' MW accounts which match the individuals SM usernames. This is just a hunch, so correct me if I'm wrong.

Saving edits gives blank previews, edits never committed.
by Chris Lawther 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

On an RH7.2 box, running the latest RH released versions of PHP (4.1.2), PHP-MySQL (4.1.2) and MySQL (3.23.58) I have installed MediaWiki 1.4.7, which initially appears to be working fine. However, all attempts to edit pages, anonymously or logged in either as an ordinary user or WikiSysop, produce the same result. Pressing 'Save page' has the same effect as pressing 'Show Preview'. The Preview doesn't contain either the old or the new page, but once again offers the option of either a Preview or a Save. The symptoms sound a little like those in this thread: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2005-April/004840.html I tried adding the session_save_path(...) statement to the end of LocalSettings.php, but saw no change in behaviour.

RE: [Mediawiki-l] Apache Seg Fault when attempting to save any edit
by Zain Memon 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

If your install of Apache is failing like this, chances are that there's something seriously wrong with it. I suggest you completely reinstall Apache from the ground up. You should do this even if your server works perfectly, since the latest version of Apache is 2.0.54 and your server is quite vulnerable if you don't upgrade. > -----Original Message----- > From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l- > bounces(a)Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Jason Lixfeld > Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 10:00 AM > To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list > Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Apache Seg Fault when attempting to save any edit > > Keep seeing these in my apache logs after editing any page.
