1.4.9 Upgrade glitches with MediaWiki namespace
by David J. Biesack 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

I'm upgrading from 1.4.5 to 1.4.9 and have a small glitch. In my navigation bar, I've added two entries in the array $wgNavigationLinks array( 'text'=>'IndexLabel', 'href'=>'Index-url' ), array( 'text'=>'Recentchanges-rss', 'href'=>'Recentchanges-rss-url' ), and I've defined pages: MediaWiki:IndexLabel ==> Index MediaWiki:Index-url ==> saspedia:Index MediaWiki:Recentchanges-rss ==> RSS MediaWiki:Recentchanges-rss-url ==> saspedia:RSS I've defined the pages saspedia:Index and saspedia:RSS (my MediaWiki installation is named "saspedia") but the navigation bar renders incorrectly as: * Main Page * Community portal * <IndexLabel> * Current events * Recent changes * Random page * <Recentchanges-rss> * Help instead of reading the messages correctly. This renders correctly in my 1.4.5 wiki but not with 1.4.9 Note: These new MediaWiki namespace entries do not show up in Special:Allmessages; should they? I looked at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ#How_do_I_change_the_contents_o… and I've cleared the browser cache etc. and I can't see what is wrong. A related problem occurs with a button I've added to the edit toolbar. In EditPage.php I added (after the button_italic definition) the following array( 'image' => 'button_tt.png', 'open' => "\\<tt\\>", 'close' => "\\</tt\\>", 'sample'=> wfMsg('tt_sample'), 'tip' => wfMsg('tt_tip'), 'key' => 'T' ), I've defined MediaWiki:Tt_sample and MediaWiki:Tt_tip pages; i.e. my MediaWiki_Tt_tip page contains Typewriter (fixed width) text but the toolbar tip says <tt_tip> instead. The other toolbar tips (Bold text, Italic text, etc.) work as expected. The tt button action works as expected; i.e. it will embed the selection in <tt>...selection...</tt>. However, if nothing is selected, it inserts the wrong sample: <tt><tt_sample></tt> instead of <tt>Fixed width (monospace) text</tt> which is what I expect: MediaWiki:Tt_sample contains "Fixed width (monospace) text". -- David J.

Date categories in WikiNews
by John Ellenberger 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Trying to understand the date categories in wikinews for my own site. I see that the date template puts articles into a category specific to the date but it looks like on the wikinews site there are also pages that are created for the year/month/day. These are referenced in the "latest news" template on the front page. How are these created? Is there a template that I'm missing somewhere that converts date category data into pages John Ellenberger Groton, MA johne(a)jellenberger.org

1.5 beta3 to 1.5rc1
by Joshua Bass 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

I upgraded from 1.4.6 to 1.5b3 and have been developing on that platform for a few weeks. Now that 1.5rc1 is out, can I simply overwrite all of the files to upgrade? Also, I had experienced a major bug. When upgrading to 1.5 from 1.4.6 I lost the MIME relations to about 1/3 of all my images. I had to reupload them in order for thumbnails to generate.

I am trying to drop the bullets from the navigation menu. I dropped the callout in the css but they are still showing up. Is this something that is hard coded somewhere? Joshua Bass Aeronautical Engineer 817-777-6754 joshua.l.bass(a)lmco.com

I just upgraded our Wiki (http://wiki.lib.uconn.edu/wiki/) to version 1.5rc3. When I try to login, I get a message: Wiki uses cookies to log in users. You have cookies disabled. Please enable them and try again. Even though I get the message, I actually get logged into the Wiki and can freely edit pages. I'm not blocking cookies, and I've tried IE and Firefox on several different machines. I've also tried specifying to accept cookies from our Wiki. I tried removing all cookies, etc. Nothing works. A similar problem was reported here with no resolution: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Wikiquote:Bug_reports#Login_cookie_problems Has anyone seen this problem before? Feel free to try it out on our Wiki if you like. -Tony

Problems Installing Mediawiki 1.4.8 (continued)
by James Sanders 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Sorry about the incomplete message, I accidently sent it via a keyboard shortcut. Here we go: I've been having trouble installing Mediawiki 1.4.8 on my webserver here: http://web.rulex.net/smextreme/wiki/config/index.php When I go to configure the wiki before installing, I get these warnings and errors: Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(./includes/Defines.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home:/usr/local/lib/php) in /home/users/smextreme/wiki/config/index.php on line 121 Warning: main(includes/Defines.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /home/users/smextreme/wiki/config/index.php on line 121 Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/Defines.php' (include_path='.:/home/users/smextreme/wiki:/home/users/smextreme/wiki/includes:/home/users/smextreme/wiki/languages') in /home/users/smextreme/wiki/config/index.php on line 121 I know my webhost has it set up wrong, because I've installed it on my personal web server on my computer. Can you give me some info on what to tell my web host to fix the problem?
