Hidden templates & User Rights
by Matthew Sprague 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

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. See also Extended template syntax </wiki/Extended_template_syntax> and Extended template syntax/Alternative conditional syntax proposal </wiki/Extended_template_syntax/Alternative_conditional_syntax_proposal> --Def </w/index.php?title=User:Def&action=edit> 23:13, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC) 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?

Re: [Mediawiki-l] DB table difference b/w 1.4.6 and 1.5
by Ryan Hudy 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

The database schema changed considerably between 1.4.x and 1.5. You shouldn't expect user mods written for 1.5 which access the DB to work on a 1.4 installation. -- Rick DeNatale Thanks, I figured that was the issue. Is there a detailed listing of changes for the schema located anywhere online?

user IP and page problems
by judi chen 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Can someone help me on some questions Hi all, I set up a wiki 1.4.10 on a Fedora Core 4 server. I enabled squid caching and Zend Php accelerator. Now I have the following two problems. 1. The User Ip on the top right coner always is 127.0.0.1 instead of the real user's PC IP. 2. after the user edit a page and save that page, anyone hit the link of that page and take directly to the Edit page rather that the content of the page. Any suggestions/ thanks judi __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

I would like to allow PDF image uploads and for these to display as images. Is this possible? Is there a setting that controls this?

As an aside to this, how do we get a link to open up in a new instance of the browser, as in the HTML target="_blank"? That might help with the PDF's? Regards, Andrew MediaWiki: 1.4.5 PHP: 4.3.10 (cgi) MySQL: 4.0.25-standard-log -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org]On Behalf Of Con Rodi Sent: 27 September 2005 16:27 To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Allow PDF uploads? Randy, I would not say it "breaks" the Special:Newimages page. The PDFs show up as blank images. Sure, they take up space, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal. Rob, some browsers do indeed render the a pdf inline in the wiki page (at least Safari does this). The problem I've had in doing this is that it seems to take a very long time to download the files and render them--much longer than a comparably sized JPG file. On one Win XP computer IE took so long we gave up. So my practice is to point to the image page and let people download the document from there. At least if it takes a while, they understand they asked for something unusual. It would be nice to be emancipated from the Image terminology when working with documents, but, hey, this at least works.
