Adding a new tab
by Amruta Lonkar 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

Hi, I am new to this list and have just started writing some code for adding a new tab for references, that will be present for every article on the local wiki. This will be placed in line to edit,discussion tabs and will itself be a page whihc has a list of references for that article. According to my undersatnding i need to make some changes to skin.php. I wanted to know if this should be done by writing a separate page under extensions or should chnages be made to skin.php? I am a beginner in this so any help is appreciated. Thanks. Amruta

edit navigation bar?
by Bakó Csaba 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

Hi! I have just started to run MediaWiki for a week. A have some special questions regarding it. I have checked the FAQ, but I did not find relevant (or enough) information. If you can help, please answer to me. My main questions about the navigation bars are: * I have modified the LocalSettings.php to add new bullet points to 'Navigation'. E.g. I created 'vip' and 'vip-url'. Now I can see: <http://www.mekdsz.hu/otlettar/wiki/index.php/--error:_link_target_missing-- > <vip> in the Navigation bar and if I click on it the answer is: --error: link target missing--. What can I do? * How can I add another navigation bar (e.g. under the 'toolbox') Thank you very much, indeed. Csaba (From Hungary) PS. I use 1.4.8.

so far, the Special:Import function does not work. -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Hans Voss Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2005 10:24 AM To: mediawiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Merging wiki's Hello, I am looking into the possibility of merging two wiki's with each other I would like to know if it is possible to actually merge the databases or that a Special:Export <> Special:Import would work. (What happens with Import/Export when a page already exists?) Is there even a way to export (and import) the *entire* wiki? I know I could run all the wiki's side by side and create interwiki links to create something similar, but that doesn't integrate the search function. -- ---- Met vriendelijke groeten / With kind regards Hans Voss --------------------------------------- skype: hans.voss _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I wrote a script that created a directory structure, then hard-linked or copied (as appropriate) the various WikiPedia files. Then you edit the copied ones, and the hard-linked ones work as though they were a copy. :::: The antidote to fear is action! :::: Jan Steinman <http://www.IslandSeeds.org>

by shardsofmetal 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

I downloaded the most recent dump of meta (9/3/05). I unzipped the file with WinRAR. I then went to special:import in my mediawiki(1.5rc4) and tried to import it. When i did, it gave me the error "import source type unknown". Could somebody please help me with this. Will it only work if I have mediawiki 1.6? Please help. Thank You, shardsofmetal

How to recover a database
by Christiaan Briggs 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

I'm running MediaWiki on our intranet at work. I recently upgraded our server from Mac OS X 10.3 to 10.4. In the process the MySQL default database location appears to have been moved, so MediaWiki couldn't see its database. I've also subsequently reinstalled MediaWiki (but to a more recent version than before the system upgrade), giving it a new database. My question is, having found the old database in a directory call wiki (but with no .sql suffix), consisting of the files as pasted below, how do I recover it for the latest version of MediaWiki I have installed?: I've tried simply moving the database to the new location and attempting to open it with phpMyAdmin but it said "No tables found in database," and: > Warning: mysql_query(): Unable to save result set in /Library/ > WebServer/>Documents/phpMyAdmin/libraries/mysql_wrappers.lib.php on > line 104 Error SQL-query : SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM `wiki-two` MySQL > said: #12 - Can't read dir of './wiki-two/' (Errcode: 13) You can read more about my situation here: http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?13@711.nKKQa2uWSAL.4@.68b8e7c3 Thanks, Christiaan Files I found, which I assume are my database: archive.MYD links.MYD querycache.MYI archive.MYI links.MYI querycache.frm archive.frm links.frm recentchanges.MYD brokenlinks.MYD links_backup.MYD recentchanges.MYI brokenlinks.MYI links_backup.MYI recentchanges.frm brokenlinks.frm links_backup.frm searchindex.MYD categorylinks.MYD linkscc.MYD searchindex.MYI categorylinks.MYI linkscc.MYI searchindex.frm categorylinks.frm linkscc.frm site_stats.MYD cur.MYD logging.MYD site_stats.MYI cur.MYI logging.MYI site_stats.frm cur.frm logging.frm user.MYD hitcounter.frm math.MYD user.MYI image.MYD math.MYI user.frm image.MYI math.frm user_newtalk.MYD image.frm objectcache.MYD user_newtalk.MYI imagelinks.MYD objectcache.MYI user_newtalk.frm imagelinks.MYI objectcache.frm user_rights.MYD imagelinks.frm old.MYD user_rights.MYI interwiki.MYD old.MYI user_rights.frm interwiki.MYI old.frm watchlist.MYD interwiki.frm oldimage.MYD watchlist.MYI ipblocks.MYD oldimage.MYI watchlist.frm ipblocks.MYI oldimage.frm ipblocks.frm querycache.MYD

We're using Mediawiki on IIS using gd instead of imagemagik. This works fine. Can you not just use gd? Cheers, Al. -----Original Message----- From: bernhard blum [mailto:bernhard.rv@t-online.de] Sent: Thursday, 8 September 2005 8:20 a.m. To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: [Mediawiki-l] imagemagic on windows Hi I am running a mediawiki in a company.

Wikimedia Dump
by shardsofmetal 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

I have 2 questions: 1. When I downloaded the pages_current.xml.gz file dated 9/3/05, I had problems importing the file to my localhost wiki. It gave the error message "Import source unknown". Could somebody please help me with this. I wan't to mirror the meta wiki on my local machine so that i have access to the user guide and other files, since i don't have home internet access. 2. I was wondering to export all the pages of a wiki like all wikimedia sites do. Thank You, shardsofmetal
