resizing the entire wiki
by Lee Marqueses 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Hi everyone, I'm new to the wiki thing and I'm thinking about integrating it into my site. Yet I've come up with a problem. My site is essentially a centered table 800px wide. Now I've tried everything to resize my wiki (been testing offline before putting it up), but I can't seem to get everything down into 800px. The best thing that I've been able to do is to resize the main contents but the navigation bar and everything on the left hand side remains on the left hand side. It won't budge. Is there anything that I can do? Thanks p.s. I'm using ver 1.5.4

Re: batch image upload

Hi Community, this answer is related to an email from Feb 22, 2005 from FxParlant. Full Email-Text in Archiv online: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2005-February/003673.html He postet a php-file to to a batchupload of images. Now, I have to upload appr. 400 images to my Wiki; all images are in one Folder (and have different filenames). I have access to my wiki my FTP, and to the database my phpMyAdmin or ODBC. 1. Where I have to place the quoted php-File? 2. What I need to change in the Code of that file? 3. Is it compatible with MediaWiki 1.5.4 ? Thanks for your attention, Jan -------------------------------------------------- QUOTE: Code of the postet php-File: <html> <body> <?php /* Help the batch upload images from Dokuwiki to Mediawiki INspired from: 1 - mediawiki/include/specialUpload.php 2 - mediawiki/include/globalFunctions.php line 480 function wfImageDir( $fname ) You need: 1) to put all the image files in the same directory (no more sub directories). That means that you must rename your file who have the same names, to avoid any conflict.

MediaWiki 1.5.5, 1.4.13 released (SECURITY)
by Brion Vibber 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 MediaWiki 1.5.5 and 1.4.13 are a security and bugfix maintenance releases. Detection for uploads of Windows Metafile (.wmf) images has been added to help protect against a client-side vulnerability in unpatched Microsoft Windows operating systems. Sites which have enabled uploads and added non-standard file types (such as .ogg, .doc, or .pdf) should upgrade to this release to ensure that malicious .wmf files can't be uploaded with a fake extension; such files could put visitors to the site at risk. For more details on this, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Metafile_vulnerability Additionally, a maintenance script removeUnusedAccounts.php has been added in 1.5.5; this replaces an older Perl script which had not been updated for the new schema in 1.5.

categorization
by Stuart, Ryan (CIV) 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Hello all, I'm building a wiki that will require users to categorize new terms they enter (by part of speech). I'd like to automatically add a drop-down list to each new page and require the user to choose one before they can submit the new page. Do you know if this is possible, and if so, can you give me some implementation hints? Thanks for your help, Ryan

Search filtering
by Brandon 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

I have a request to add some features to the searching functionality of my wiki. It would be nice if there was a way for a user to only search in a specific section or category vs. the entire site. Is this functionality present or is there an extension available?

No Email on site changes
by Claus Malter 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Hello, i have a problem with MediaWiki 1.5.4. I have added an Email address to the Admin user account. Also i've checked the options to get an Email on every change in the Wiki. But i do not receive any notifications on site changes. I've tested it with other user accounts. Not with the Admin itself. If I change the Email address of the Admin user i get a confirmation Email. I guess the sending of a mail should work. What's the matter about that? Kind regards and a happy new year, Claus Malter

Downloadable MediaWiki documentation
by Meir Maor 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Hi, I am running MediaWiki on an isolated intranet, I would like to have documentation for the users&adimistrators available on the same network. I searched the net(google) for downloadable documentation, All I found was a reference on this list: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2004-December/002584.html A person with a similar problem a year ago, which did not get any replies. I tried downloading all the documentation using wget, but even after solving some technical limitations(setting a friendly wait, and altering the user agent string) I still found I was downloading a lot of junk(as far as I am concerned) and that after downloading, the files I get are not very clear, as they have very different style to them. Is there a downloadable user's manual of some sort? Is there a simple way of mirroring the online documentation? thanx in advance, Meir.
