re: GIS in MediaWiki.
With $wgRawHthml = true, the following HTML puts a map in a wiki article.
<div style="float: right">
<iframe src="http://openlayers.org/viewer/?toolbar=1"
width="400px" height="400px"
scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0">
</iframe>
</div>
What modifications might make wikipedia.org comfortable with the security
of this type of iframe? The whitelist feature in MediaWiki might be
extended to allow particular domain names in the src attribute.
OpenLayers is a young open source project. Upcoming releases will make it
easy to put markers in the maps and to use more backdrop mapserver
accessible on the 'net --- currently it can load WMS and WFS layers.

(Which can be implemented on some other Wikipedias, too.)
Just to inform you that we (re-)staretd our work on that issue again.
Any interested person can see progress of our work at
http://conversion.vikimedija.org/ . In this moment we don't have
informations in English, but we would have it soon.
We have two goals:
1. To finish SrConversion which Zhengzhu almost finished (for reading
only). This is PHP-based code.
2. To make TCP server and change some parts of EditPage.php (for
writing). We intend to make the server in Python (not in C).
Hi,
I am running the following IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003 (i know, I know...),
MediaWiki (http://wikipedia.sf.net/): 1.4.10
PHP (http://www.php.net/): 5.0.5
MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/): 4.1.14-nt
When I try to do a search, the browser goes to
http://localhost/wiki/index.php?search=test&fulltext=Search
But the page is blank.
The html source for these blank pages is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
Everything else seems to be working properly in the system except the
search. I noticed that a few weeks back someone else had a similar
issue - but no one responded. He was running the same config except
Apache2 instead of IIS.
Is there a component I need to install to get the search functioning?
Any help is really appreciated,
Thanks,
- Mike

Hi!
I want to use Mediawiki behind a SSL-Proxy. So I add the whole URL with the
proxy and the url of the server into $wgServer from LocalSettings.php. But
this doesn't work: When I load the Mainpage with the complete URL
https://ssl-proxy/normal-url/mediawiki/index.php... I get the Mainpage, but
without a style sheet running. The links are displayed, but just show the
adress without the so important "normal-url" in it.
Can anybody help me? I didn't find a information in the archive of this
mailing list.
Thanks

In case some of you out there haven't got around to it, don't forget
that 1.4.10 (1.3.16 for 1.3 branch) fixes a serious data corruption bug
which is triggered by the requests a particular spambot uses.
I strongly urge anybody out there running a 1.3 or 1.4 MediaWiki to
upgrade or at least apply the fix patch described in the release
announcement:
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2005-September/00003…
If your wiki gets hit by this corruption bug, you can only recover the
damaged data from a backup or extracting the original data from MySQL
binlogs, and that's a big pain in the butt.
1.5 wikis are not vulnerable to this problem.

Hello all,
I have spent today trying to set up MediaWiki 1.4.10 on my system. I
have tried multiple versions and I've been digging through logs and
single stepping code trying to find the break. I have seen a few other
posts with problems similar to mine. Usually the solution was to
upgrade, but the threads I found never continued past that. Hopefully
someone can help me out here.
My server runs the following:
Linux 2.6
Apache 2.0.54
PHP 4.4.0
MySQL 4.1.11
The Mysql bindings in PHP work fine. I have another PHP+Mysql site that
is working fine.
After untarring the mediawiki source, I proceed with the installation
steps. I fill out the form and click Install and it succeeds. Check
the database and it's created the database, tables, and user accounts.
I move LocalSettings.php in place and then click the link to move to the
main wiki page. At this point, nothing happens. The browser churns for
a bit waiting for a response, then stops. The only thing I can get from
the logs that seem remotely useful is:
[Tue Sep 27 15:49:41 2005] [notice] child pid 20206 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Tue Sep 27 15:52:53 2005] [notice] child pid 20048 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Tue Sep 27 15:52:53 2005] [notice] child pid 20262 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Tue Sep 27 16:09:16 2005] [notice] child pid 20055 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Tue Sep 27 16:09:16 2005] [notice] child pid 20735 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
If anyone has any ideas, please speak up. I've done all of the
debugging and research I can and am met with no answers.
Thanks,

Hi All!
I am interested in using mediawiki for a runbook of sorts. A way to
keep information on networks & client environments. However, id like to
have a bit of control over user access. I'd also like to be able to
customize the user's view depending on their rights assignment. For
example, i'd like to keep passwords & router configs in the run book,
but only allow admins to see them.
I saw this post on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hidden_pages
Hidden templates are also desirable
[/First, excuse me if I'm re-hashing an old discussion; I'm fairly new
to mediawiki, but eager to get the most out of it. --Def
</w/index.php?title=User:Def&action=edit>/]
It has been said that pages in the hidden namespaces cannot be used as
templates due to page caching. This appears to be accurate, but there
are some useful (good?) things that can happen if so-called "hidden
templates" can be made to work. The biggest benefit (/Warning: POV/) is
that the contents of a given article can be made to change depending
upon the rights of the user viewing it. Consider the following example.
An article containing details of a network design is written. Among the
details are items of varying sensitivity. These may be passwords or
anything else that the general population using the wiki don't need to
see. Rather than placing these into the main article, these are placed
in the {{restrict-1:network/pass1}} - {{restrict-1:network/passN}}
articles. Now, in the main article (titled simply "network" in this
scenario), we transclude the templates into the right place, all nice
and neat. Viewers who have rights see the passwords or other info, while
others see nothing. It might be nice to have some "not authorized" text
in the latter case, but it is not necessary.

This seems to be pretty much exactly what i need, but i haven't seen any
follow ups. Does anyone have any more information along these lines?
any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
