Problem with install: checking environment
by auctor＠elindquist.com 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

When trying to install, I get the following error: Checking environment... Fatal error: Call to undefined function: install_version_checks() in /home/blitzne/public_html/psychoactive/config/index.php on line 199 Also, I had to go to wiki/config/index.php manually, as I wasn't redirected from /wiki/index.php, if that's how it's supposed to work. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :)

user_token and user_touched fields
by Erin Spiceland 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

I'm using mediawiki on a site that employs three other web apps that require authentication. I'm trying to write a register script that will insert the desired authentication and profile data into all 3 apps' databases at the same time, so that users won't have to register 3 separate times. I've got it working on both of the other apps, but mediawiki says that the username doesn't exist when I can clearly see it in the table. I think it has something to do with my values of "" that I'm putting in the user_token and/or user_touched fields. I did this for testing purposes simply because I didn't know what was supposed to go there. What are these fields and what should I put there? Or is there something else I'm not aware of that could be causing this? user_touched looks like a date in the format YYYYMMDDHHSSMM. is that correct? Erin

Unicode characters map Edit
by FxParlant 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Hello, Although the abcTajpu extension for Firefox, offers facilities to include non latin characters or accented letters, it is still far from giving a complete map of unicode characters. I believe a trans-cultural tool such as mediawiki could work on providing something to help the inclusion of words or expressions from other languages or writing systems. So here is my try. I include an iframe in the EditPage.php. A little dropdown let the editor choose which language he wants to see. I think it could easily be improved with Alan Woods pages of unicode mapping, and maybe a little bit of javascript to automatise the inclusion of characters. I believe a link could also be made in each language page, toward free fonts for this unicode section (windows, linux and Mac) QUESTION: The language pages are static files, not wiki pages. I first tried to do this with inclusion of "raw" wiki pages. Unfortunately, the didn't work, because my browser always asked for download of the file. If anyone could tell me how to adapt the "raw" feature, it would allow the iframe to be build from normal wiki pages LINKS Only Talk pages are editable (yes, my wiki is a test and hazardous tool :-) http://www.fxparlant.net/Talk:Test Just type a nickname and a password in the login page, it'll do. Reactions ? François

RE: [Mediawiki-l] mediawiki 1.4 & 1.5rc4, substring search, how?

Andrew; Yes. function legalSearchChars() { return "A-Za-z_'*0-9\\x80-\\xFF\\-"; } It looks like this string is treated as a class in a regular expression in the filter function. It would be more practical to parameterize this is DefaultSettings.php for those who wish to modify without changing code. Let me know if you encounter any side affects.

When trying to add user: "You have not specified a valid user name"
by prodos＠prodos.com 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

From: Prodos (Melbourne, Australia) Greetings. I've followed the instructions at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Preventing_Access ... which prevents a new user from creating an account but which should still allow me as admin to create a new account, but I just can't make it work. Here are the instructions that I've been following from http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Preventing_Access - - In order to prevent new user registrations, the following line could be added to the LocalSettings.php file: $wgWhitelistAccount = array ( "sysop" => 1, "developer" => 1 ); Note: New users will still be able to be created by sysops, in the following manner: Go to [[Special:Userlogin]], when logged in as a sysop. Enter a username and an email address, and click the "by email" button. The account will be created with a random password which is then emailed to the given address. - - - However, when I do all this I just get a note in red saying: "You have not specified a valid user name." What does this mean, please? I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions regarding this problem. Many thanks. Best Wishes, PRODOS http://prodos.thinkertothinker.com

upgrade from 1.3.x to latest stable release
by Patrick Tufts 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

I have a MediaWiki installation running on an intranet, and I believe it's a version of 1.3.x I would like to upgrade this to the latest stable version, 1.4.10 I need some hand holding with this. If anyone here can help, I would be grateful. The last time my company attempted to upgrade our installation (from 1.3.x to 1.3.10) we got the following errors. Note the "755 invalid titles" section. > MediaWiki 1.3.10 installation > > Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems. > Checking environment... > > * PHP 4.3.10: ok > * PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) > * Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. > * PHP's memory_limit is 32M.

Move the LocalSettings.php file into the parent directory, then follow this link to your wiki. I suspect, but am not sure, that the invalid titles errors are the result of our renaming the "Wikipedia:" article namespace to "Metaweb:" in our installation. We're running a very old version, and I have to say, the latest version is so much better in terms of display and admin features. If anyone could help walk me through this upgrade, I would greatly appreciate it. --Pat

by Klein.Thomas＠eae.com 23 Sep '05

Thank you for Maurice Joseph, Wolfgang and Andrew. I have change the SearchMySQL4.php with follow line: Include next function with plus and star: function legalSearchChars() { return "A-Za-z_'0-9\\x80-\\xFF\\-+*"; } And delete the line # if( $this->strictMatching && ($terms[1] == '') ) { # $terms[1] = '+'; # } in the function function parseQuery( $filteredText, $fulltext ) Now the search function have the same syntax of MySQL. Also, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/fulltext-boolean.html for details about full text sql queries in MySQL. The better way, i write a new class with this changes and its coming soon in this mailling-list. Mit freundlichen Grüssen / Kind regards i.A.

RE: [Mediawiki-l] mediawiki 1.4 & 1.5rc4, substring search, how?
by Coombes, Andrew 23 Sep '05

Hi Maurice, Looks really useful, do we place the "*" in this function: function legalSearchChars() { return "A-Za-z_'0-9\\x80-\\xFF\\-"; } If so where and how, otherwise, which one please. Thanks, Andrew -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org]On Behalf Of Maurice Joseph Sent: 22 September 2005 22:06 To: mediawiki-l(a)wikimedia.org Subject: RE: [Mediawiki-l] mediawiki 1.4 & 1.5rc4, substring search, how? Did a little experimenting on my local install and here's my findings. Note, I'm using mysql db. Enabling the following debug flags helps display the pertinent content: $wgDebugComments = true; $wgDebugDumpSql = true; Under ../includes/SearchMySQL.php contains the following function: function searchText( $term ) { $resultSet = $this->db->resultObject( $this->db->query( $this->getQuery( $this->filter( $term ), true ) ) ); return new MySQLSearchResultSet( $resultSet, $this->searchTerms ); } Basically, filter() (in SearchEngine.php) defines what is a legal character. Modify this constant to allow '*'. Now wildcards matches work. Also, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/fulltext-boolean.html for details about full text sql queries in MySQL.
