Using forms in wiki page -- need contact form
by Jonah Winters 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

I'm trying to put an HTML contact form in my wiki page, http://physics911.ca/index.php?title=Contact . I had thought I could find an extension for this purpose, but no luck. And I can't find any alternative for, or wiki markup for, the <form>, <input>, and <submit> tags. What are my best options? Thank you VERY much for your help! -Jonah -- -- Jonah & Kari Winters: http://winterswebworks.com -- Baha'i Library Online: http://bahai-library.com

But if you really wanted, I guess you could try and copy the PHP functions which parse that (buildsidebar() in includes/Skin.php and the part of skins/MonoBook.php which uses the resulting array, as $this->data['sidebar']) and use them inside the skin of the forum, either grabbing from MediaWiki's database directly, or using "/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar&action=raw" somehow... -- Rowan Collins BSc [IMSoP]

I have already linked my forum members to the wiki member database. I really just need to know how to export the Wiki Navigation toolbar. Is there a direct approach to calling the navigation box from a separate html page? I am guessing <? Php include something? -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Rowan Collins Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 6:12 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Forums inside wiki ?

Well, reproducing that ought to be pretty easy in any reasonably skinnable forum software - the sidebar is only a bunch of links, after all, and doesn't need to actually touch the wiki database. And making them visually match is just a case of playing with CSS for long enough. The hard part is if you want to do things like use the users from one database for both pieces of software - the mailing list archives should reveal lots of people who've at least attempted this... (use "site:mail.wikipedia.org" in a Google/Yahoo/whatever query) -- Rowan Collins BSc [IMSoP] _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

I have run across a vbulletin forum inside the mediawiki skin also. I can't seem to find it again, but I know that it has the mediawiki sidebar left of the forums, which is my main concern. Google is not my friend today. -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Rowan Collins Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 5:38 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Forums inside wiki ?

I would like to get the sidebar onto my forums. Well, apart from looking rather broken in my browser, that site appears to have used a CMS called Mambo which incorporates forums and a wiki - so it's not so much a forum within the wiki, as a forum and a wiki both within something else. Whether MediaWiki is something that comes with Mambo normally, or they've hacked it in there, I can't make out - there doesn't seem to be a straight-forward feature list on the mambo homepage - but basically, they've skinned both so that they look like they go together. -- Rowan Collins BSc [IMSoP] _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

Ok, it seems one of my extensions was causing the problem. -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of FxParlant Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 12:16 PM To: mediawiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Re: Recent Changes RSS not working. Only a guess, have your php files been edited in a special encoding ? Usually text editors insert an invisible number of characters at the beginning of your documents, to be able to recognise the encoding next time it opens it. Try to edit it in an old version of notepad (from win95) if you are in windows... to remove them. That's the only way I know to be able to see these codes. I haven't got a clue which editor you can use on a Linux plateform to see them. ... but it's only a guess Regards François http://www.fxparlant.net/Category:Mediawiki Rick DeNatale wrote: > When I view the source, it starts with two blank lines, which is what > the browser error is complaining about. > > On 9/18/05, Bass, Joshua L <joshua.l.bass(a)lmco.com> wrote: > >>Hmm, I took out any and all blank lines at the start and end of any >>files I may have touched.

Problems installing Mediawiki
by Tobias Sjölin 19 Sep '05

19 Sep '05

Hello! I've just stumbled across MediaWiki and I'm very interested in getting a nice wiki up. The problem is that I can't seem to get it installed! I've come for as to the installation process in the browser. However the Language box is empty. This means I can not select a language. Maybe this is not required, but it seems to reek havoc with the rest of the installtion. The prefix table absolutely refuses to accept anything in that box. I've tried [blank], mw_, mv, but nothing works. I still get the Invalid prefix table. I really would like to have it as [blank] since I won't install anything else in the mysql, but nothing works. Has anyone got any idea? Best Regards Tobias
