making an image a link to an external page.
by Fenton Travers 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Okay, in plain old html I'd make an image a link to another page by going: <a href="www.yahoo.com"><img src="myYahooLogo.gif"></a> Reading the mediawiki help and trying to figure out how to do this within the wiki...my god...I'm sorry but it seems horribly complex for a relatively easy concept. Is it really true that I have to make a redirect at the image page? So what I want to do is upload an image and then make that image link to an external website, like perhaps: [http://gmail.google.com/gmail [[Image:GmailIcon.jpg]]] I'm hoping that there is a reasonably easy way to do this reasonably common thing. Thanks, fenton

"Wanted pages" special pages and pages in categories
by Christoiphe Dore 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Hi I have the following issue : I have (intentionally) created some categories in which I have done some links to pages which does not exist yet. The problem is that those "wanted pages" are not listed in the Special:Wantedpages page, unless another "real" page mentions them (withn in this case, the correct nmber of links, including the one in the category) How can I fix this ? I'd like to provide a page to my users so that they can easily see what are the wanted pages and be incited to write them. Regards -- cd

Problems with ssl
by Goldy 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Hello, I have installed a mediawiki on an apache server (2.0.55) under windows xp, encrypted by ssl with OpenSSL, I use PHP 5.0.5. And the mediawiki don't work properly, I can't edit any article, when I click "Save page", it's a preview. Other example, I can upload a file on the server, but I can't remove it, I have a message that tells me : "There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Please hit "back" and reload the page you came from, then try again." but, that don't work. I use the last version of mediawiki. Thank you for helping, and happy new year :) Christophe

Re: Wie gleichzeitig mehrere Wikis betreiben
by Andrea Arena 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

ok, habe über die Tage etwas daran gearbeitet. Mein erstes Anliegen: Im Moment habe ich 4 versch. wikis. Alle sind so konfiguriert( habe eine Commonsettings.php): $wgSharedUploadPath = 'http://www.xx.ch/common/wiki/images'; # Path on the file system where shared uploads can be found $wgSharedUploadDirectory = '/home/xx/public_html/common/wiki/images'; # Set this to false especially if you have a set of files that need to be # accessible by all wikis, and you do not want to use the hash (path/ a/aa/) # directory layout. $wgHashedSharedUploadDirectory = true; $wgSharedUploadDBname = 'xxx_wikiartikel'; $wgUploadPath = "http://www.xx.ch/common/wiki/images"; $wgUploadDirectory = "/home/xxx/public_html/common/wiki/images"; so weit so gut. Alle Bilder sind in einem Ordner. Durch das verschieben der Bilder, passiert es vereinzelt, dass bei einer Artikelseite, die Bilder mit einem ? markiert sind,bearbeitet man den Artikel und Speichert ihn neu ab, werden die Bilder wieder angezeigt. Gibt es ein script der solche änderungen automatisch vornehmen kann? Zur eigentlichen Frage. Wie kann ich jetzt die Bilder untereinander gebrauchen? Habe das Bild [[Bild:Glas.gif]] durch die Deutsche Wiki hochgeladen, wie verwende ich es in der Italienischen wiki? hoffentlich hattet Ihr auch so schöne Weihnachten wie ich ;-D andy

Page deletion as page hiding
by Sy Ali 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

It isn't a particularly useful loophole at face value, but it doesn't seem too far a stretch to have page edits automatically get dumped into the deletion history for an item instead of be pushed out to the live world. Has anyone exploited the fact that deleted pages aren't visible to non-admins in order to have hidden pages?

Mediawiki CMS integration
by mediawiki＠x11.cjb.net 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

I'm a great fan of mediawiki, and like to use it with a new site I am putting together on sourceforge. I would ask you guys, what CMS integrates best with mediawiki? I have seen it done with Joomla, but it didn't look very good to me. I understand there is a Drupal module for it, but it seemed difficult to set up. Is there a CMS that you guys have had luck with? I'm looking mostly for a consistant theming and single sign on. Thanks, Brian

Email notification with 1.5.4
by Grützmacher, Lukas 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

Hi mediawiki gurus, I've running mediawiki 1.5.4 on a Win2k system with PHP 5.0.5. On my settings page I can enable eMail notification for changes on wiki pages. But even I've set on this options I do not receive any mail. The Mails for eMail address validation are sending out successfully. So the configuration seams to be ok. 1. Do I have to change more settings? 2. Do I need to install any extension? (But why the settings are already in my standard settings page?) Thanks in advance for any help. Lukas Grützmacher

backup SQL database
by Frames Project 01 Jan '06

01 Jan '06

Hello, Before upgrading from mediawiki 1.3.9 to the lastest version, I need to backup the SQL database. I did it with phpmyadmin : I got an SQL text file of 30M. I tried to read it back ... too big says some php script, without saying how to cure this problem. I suppose some of you have already have this problem. (I tried to read MySql and PhpMyadmin docs ... I had quickly been lost) Thanks François Colonna

Anyone who > knows of > a workaround? My guess is that it's a timeout happening. You can set those in /etc/ my.cnf. You can find the proper variable in the MySQL manual, online somewhere under http://www.MySQL.com . After setting the timeout huge to allow the huge load, it's probably a good idea to set it back to the default. :::: We can only continue to use oil as long as it lasts.
