Image Scaling on Upload?
by Jan Steinman 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

Is there a quick and easy way to automagically re-size uploaded images so they fit within some maximum size? If so, a quick "RTFM" pointer is all I need. I have a bunch of folks with 8 megapixel cameras who want to upload images. They aren't sophisticated enough to re-size their images. They're used to flikr.com (et. al.) websites that simply deal with it. I can accept the one-time hit of the initial upload, but don't want to have to re-size it every time a thumb is generated, or pump the whole thing over every time someone clicks on a thumb. I have ImageMagik installed and working. Thanks for any thoughts or ideas! :::: You must be the change you wish to see in the world -- Ghandi :::: :::: Jan Steinman, http://www.EcoReality.org ::::

Is there an easy way to insert a map from the following site into a wiki page? http://www.derouckgeomatics.com/include/f/info.asp They suggest copy/paste of the following type of code, but I don't know how, unless hacking the PHP code if this somehow is possible to include as page content: <iframe src='http://www.derouckgeomatics.com/include/maplink0.asp?id=10747&console=2&siz…' width='460' height='500' marginwidth='0' marginheight='0' frameborder='0'></iframe> Thanks for any suggestions, Hugh

by Neil Jones 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

I forgot my mysql root password on a system I am working on. I reset it without any trouble, but now the wiki won't work because it does not know the new password. I have googled around to no avail so could someone please tell me how to reset the password inside the wiki so that it works again. Neil Jones Neil(a)nwjones.demon.co.uk

Localisation Question
by Mark Saward 01 Oct '06

01 Oct '06

Hi, I've tried looking on the mediawiki website for this, but I can't find any information. How do I set up my wiki for multiple languages? If it requires no setup, then how do I add different languages to an article? Should I be using the 1.8 code in SVN, or does 1.7 support this as well? Thanks, Mark Saward

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Image Markup - How to disable the link to the image?
by Eric K 01 Oct '06

01 Oct '06

Editing the Image template/Parser.php to include an optional "Nolink" tag is a big task. I dont know how to make the edits of that scale in the code. I really wish this was an option. Sometimes we want to put an image in the page (while using the [[Image:]] code) but we dont want the image to link to anything. It seems like the "Click Template" actually adds a link on the image, is that right? I want to remove all the links to the image. I cant use the "nowiki" code eithers, thats not what I want. What I want simple is that the following: [[Image:myimage50.jpg|NoLink]] would produce an image that cant be clicked with the mouse. Its just like a regular common image on the web. It looks like this is going to require extensive editing on Parser.php so "NoLink" can be parsed just like "left" or "thumb". thanks Erik > edit the Image template?

Image Markup - How do disable the link to the image?
by Eric K 01 Oct '06

01 Oct '06

Is there a way to disable the link to an image? When I write [[Image:myimage50.jpg]] on certain pages, I dont want the user to have his mouse change its hover icon and have a link to the image. This is not needed for the user in this certain case case. Is there a way I can use a "nolink" tag and disable the link? e.g.: [[Image:myImage50.jpg|NoLink]] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
