Downloading images on demand from wikipedia.
by Luis Zarrabeitia 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

The thread "Hotlinking images from wikipedia ?" was specially interesting for me. I'm trying to keep a local mirror of wikipedia (it is the second most accessed website from my faculty, second only to google). My idea was/is to download and insert the databases (done), and to download and keep a local cache of the images on demand. (and then find a way to update both the images and the databases). Is there an easy way to download the images when they are not found locally? I'm willing to start poking at the code if it is not already done, but I'd prefer to diverge as little as possible from the original mediawiki code. Cheers, -- Luis Zarrabeitia Fac. de Matemática y Computación, UH. http://profesores.matcom.uh.cu/~kyrie

Wiki Search via Firefox?
by Frederich, Eric P2173 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

In Firefox there is a search box which has things like Google, Ebay, Wikipedia and more... Is there a way to add another media-wiki instance to Firefox? Say a corporate wiki installation, the gentoo wiki or your other favorite wiki? This may be more appropriate for a Firefox mailing list but I figured someone here may know how to do it. ~Eric

Calendar options, Wikipedia, krass.com
by Chris Earle (CBL) 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

Hi all The time has come for me to implement a calendar into my wiki .... but i'm wondering what sort of options I've got. There's this nifty extension that would be really easy to get up and running http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Cdamian/calendar (demo here: http://krass.com/wiki/Sandbox/Calendar) ...as all it does it make all the day links for you so you can click and edit at will ........, simple, but would work But then there's the insanity of what Wikipedia has ........... dates and months and stuff all in there with events --- how do they do it? Some quick digging will lead you to find that their month grids http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September are no more than a template, generated with the help of a bot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:SeptemberCalendar2006Source) --- but can one be expected to sit down and manually enter all that stuff? I mean, all the events and stuff too? Are they using some extra db table I don't know about? I'm pretty much sold on using Cdamian's extension to get me going: pros: simple to add things to a day, since just standard blank articles cons:might be too simplistic for entries -- no time data etc....can't look up based on criteria And what about iCal format? I see this extension http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Sbrunner/SpecialICalendar.php but haven't a clue what exactly it will do (anyone running it?) -- or if adding entries in the iCal format will be too cryptic for my users Holy long post I know! Anyone with any suggestions or ideas -- please post -- Chris -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[Fwd: [opensuse-doc] [ANN] Susedoc XML Build Environment]
by jdd 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

somebody here can be interested by the following annoucement. there is with the product a docbook to mediawiki translator. Of course only for page like documents and it's a first draft. jdd -------- Message original -------- Sujet: [opensuse-doc] [ANN] Susedoc XML Build Environment Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2006 13:49:30 +0200 De: Thomas Schraitle <thomas.schraitle(a)suse.de> Organisation: SUSE Linux Pour: opensuse-doc(a)opensuse.org Hi, we like to announce the alpha release of "susedoc", a toolkit the SUSE doc team develops and uses to build the SUSE documentation, released under the GPL. The RPM package contains makefiles and stylesheets for HTML, XSL-FO and Wiki. See 10.0 http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/thomas-schraitle/SUSE_Linux_10.… 10.1 http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/thomas-schraitle/SUSE_Linux_10.… 1. Features ----------------------------------------------- * Validates your XML sources * Contains Python script to create a working sandbox with all necessary files. * Creates HTML, PDF and Wiki with a simple make command * Supports handling of conditional text in XML (aka "profiling") * Supports XEP, FOP planned 2. Requirements ----------------------------------------------- * libxml2, libxslt * inkscape * transfig * ImageMagick * java * xml-commons-resolver * docbook-xsl-stylesheets * svg-dtd * freefont * fop or xep 3. Restrictions ----------------------------------------------- * At the moment you can not build PDFs with our customized stylesheets due to restrictions on the FOP side (we use XEP.). However, it is possible to use the original DocBook XSLT stylesheets. * Wiki stylesheets are a "work in progress". Small chapters or articles should work but whole books needs more work. * Documentation can be improved. ;) 4. Quickstart ----------------------------------------------- With the help of susedoc-new.py after installation you can create a "Hello World" sandbox where you can play with, for example: $ susedoc-new.py -d docbook_44 This creates a directory "susedoc-xmltest" where you can find all the needed files. To create HTML, run "make html". For more information, see "susedoc-xmltest/README" or use "make help". For the next weeks I am on vacation. If you have questions please contact Frank Sundermeyer. :) Have fun!

Custom hooks - how to control order of executed database query
by Matthias Taugwalder 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

Hi all I'm using custom hooks to make modifications on an additional custom database when specific events occur (like ArticleInsertComplete). The database queries are executed through mediawiki's database methods. But it seems that MediaWiki does change the execution order of select and update queries in the background. For example I can't insert a new entry into my database or make a modification, and then select this entry afterwards. Is there a way to control the execution order of queries (for example that they are executed directly without caching)? I also tried to implement my database operations using PHPs built-in mysql functions, but then I have the problem that mediawiki can't connect to the database (errors like "Unable to free MySQL result", etc.). Does anyone have any ideas for a workaround? Thanks in advance

Event driven MediaWiki
by Šerých Jakub 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

Is it possible to run some scripts on actions on MW? For example I have created template {{Welcome|username}}. Until now I'm adding it manualy to the discussion page of each new user (as there are necessary information how to start using our MW, links to important user specific pages etc.). But as the number of our potencial MW users is around one thousand, I would like to automate the task and add the welcome template to the users discussion page automaticaly whenever the new user registrates himself. Does anybody know the solution? Thanks Jakub
