upgrade database
by Mr Scsi 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

I have an old installation 1.5.x that we are ready to upgrade to newer version. We have been testing on a new box that I copied the 1.5.x install to, then went through the upgrade process and made changes to. Since then I see the latest stable is 1.8.x. My question is: When I upgrade the 'test' instance from 1.7.x to 1.8.x, how can I get the data out of the MySQL on the 1.5.x instance upgraded to the 1.8.x? Can I just copy the database tables to the new system and run an update database script? (I'm not sure there is one) Am I going about this the hard way? Andy.

So I've heard. Unfortunately, a) the fix is plastered all over the mediawiki FAQ and b) its confusing to a newbie becuase there is no $wgUrlProtocols being assigned in LocalSettings.php. Yes, I'm both a newbie and confused! :) Taylor ----- Original Message ---- From: "christoph.huesler(a)css.ch" <christoph.huesler(a)css.ch> To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list <mediawiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org> Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 8:50:25 AM Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Antwort: Re: Link to a Windows-Fileshare Hi You should _never_ edit DefaultSettings.php.

Philip, In 1.7.1, I found the $wgUrlProtocols in /includes/DefaultSettings.php. Just add a comma after the last protocol in the array and add 'file://' to the end. Then file links will work just like external hyperlinks. Also, there's a nifty extension called FileLinkExtension I think. It puts a button on the editor that brings up a dialog box for browsing for the file to link to.

You have to add the Protololl to the Variable $wgUrlProtocols in Localsettings.php (root directory of Wiki) I have coppied the line of my wiki below #Hinzufügen des Protokolls:"file:\\" $wgUrlProtocols = 'http:\/\/|https:\/\/|ftp:\/\/|irc:\/\/|gopher:\/\/|news:|mailto:|file:\\\\'; To use it you have to use this syntax: [file:\\server\share1$\myfolder\1 my link] You are free to use slashes instead of backslashes in order to use it with *nix systems Have fun ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas Vasiliadis VMG Vertriebs Marketing Gesellschaft mbH Netzwerkadministration Postanschrift: Postfach 2063 D - 67510 Worms NL:Hausanschrift: Niedesheimer Str. 18 D - 67547 Worms Tel: +49 (0)6241 2026 112 Fax: +49 (0)6241 2026 312 E-mail: t.vasiliadis(a)schlemmerblock.de Internet: http://www.schlemmerblock.de Bürozeiten: Mo.-Do.: 09:00 - 13:00 Uhr und 14:00 - 16:00 Uhr sowie Fr.: 09:00 - 13:00 Uhr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dieses E-Mail einschließlich seiner Anhänge ist vertraulich und kann privilegierte Informationen enthalten, die ausschließlich für den/die Empfänger bestimmt sind.

Image Parser: Additional controls?
by Eric K 16 Oct '06

16 Oct '06

Sometimes we want to align an image in different ways other than just left and right, e.g.: "baseline, top, middle, textop, absmiddle, absbottom" Also, it would be nice if I can specify a link for an image. I know I can do this using a DIV, but its hard to do it that way. If the link functionality was enabled, all I'd need to do is say: [[Image:Myimage.jpg|link=http://www.cnn.com]] And that would do it. Any pointers on how to add these additional functionalities into the Image parser? thanks Eric --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls.

Hi, 1) Please use version 1.8.2 which fixed: * (bug 7562) Fix non-ASCII namespaces on Windows/XAMPP servers 2) In setup select MySQL4 instead of MySQL5 which is marked as unstable.

After upgrade, I have duplicate tables in database
by Patricia Barden 16 Oct '06

16 Oct '06

Hello: I've just upgraded from MediaWiki 1.4.11 to 1.8.1. The upgrade appears to have gone ok. The only thing is now I have several duplicate tables with "_old" appended to the table name; e.g., archive_old, categorylinks_old, image_old, imagelinks_old, etc. Can these "old" tables be dropped from the db?

Hi-- I have been encountering a consistent error when trying to install mediawiki 1.8.1 on XP SP2.
