SynchroEdit and MediaWiki.
by Kalle Alm 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

Hello there, Lately, I've been working on getting MediaWiki and SynchroEdit to "cooperate", and all's moving along nicely. I figured I'd send out a note here, in case anybody wanted to try it out. The codebase is super-experimental, as the main page says, so bug reports are welcome! URL: http://mediawiki.synchroedit.com/index.php/Main_Page (A tip is to coordinate with a friend on a day/time that you try it out, as it's not very rewarding "synchroediting" all by yourself.) Suggestions etc. very welcome. We'll be demoing this in about two weeks; your input is definitely valuable. -Kalle.

Resend "e-mail address confirmation" email?
by Michael Dreimiller 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

I've changed my wiki to require an confirmed email address in order to edit using these two entries in my LocalSettings.php file: $wgEmailAuthentication = true; $wgEmailConfirmToEdit = true; I have some users who registered before I turned on the "confirmed address to edit" setting so the MySQL users table shows "NULL" in the user_email_authenticated field. I also have one recent registration where the user can't find the confirmation email that was sent to him. Is there a way for me to manually trigger the e-mail address confirmation in order to send one to users who previously did not need to confirm their address or to a user who can't find the one that was sent automatically? -McD- <http://www.newlondonrocks.com/>

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Hiding the "edit" link
by JTAutry 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

Damien, I use the following in LocalSettings.php: $wgWhitelistRead = array( "Main Page", "Special:Userlogin", "-", "MediaWiki:Monobook.css" ); $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createtalk'] = false; This effectively locks down the wiki to anyone not logged in. We have a very small userbase that rarely changes, so I don't mind having to manually create the accounts. Obviously if you want anonymous users to have read access you'd change it to true.

I know it can be done because I've done it before. Unfortunately I don't remember what I did. I checked the LocalSettings.php file and didn't find anything.

Users can not 'talk'
by asselarain-mediawikil＠yahoo.com 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Hi, I run a website based on Mediawiki. After I have upgraded from 1.5 to 1.7.1, users on my wiki can no longer talk on the pages! Local settings have the following $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['talk'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['move'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['talk'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['edit'] = true; # // Implicit group for all visitors $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = true; $wgDisableAnonTalk = true; # and also $wgEmailAuthentication = true; I know this is very limited information. If somebody can at least point in the right direction for checking for what is causing this .... Thanks in advance

Categories within categories
by Jérémie Bouillon 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

HI, I've browse through the Mediawiki help, without luck. I'm orking with Mediawiki 1.8.2 Is it possible to have some kind of parent/child relation with categories? For example, I would like to categorize pages by US states, but I would also like to have a parent categorie USA. So that if I have a page Seattle categorized as Washington, it would show up on both categories: Washington and USA. Is there a way to do something like this?

Hey there! Is there an extension to protect email adresses from spambots by doing some form of automated JavaScript magic? This would concern both Emailadresse that are written in plain as well as using [[mailto:adress@example.com Foo Bar]]... Thanks for your input :-) Florian

How to notify all users?
by Tim Ware 30 Nov '06

30 Nov '06

Someone referred me to an extension for notifying all users, via email, but it wasn't there. I am the sysop and I'd like to be able to send a global email to all registered users when necessary. I'm using v.1.8.2. Thanks. Tim ......................................................... ! ............ ................................................. Tim Ware ..

Authentication problems
by Leandro Feres Ribeiro 30 Nov '06

30 Nov '06

I'm having problems to authenticate users in MediaWiki even when using the default authentication method (database). When the user tryes to do something just after he has logged in, the system asks him to log in again. I've already checked my browser's cookie configurations and they are ok (in fact, the MediaWiki cookies are listed there and are ok). Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Regards, Leandro. P.S.: I apologise if the question is stupid, but I'm new to MediaWiki and I haven't found the answer to that problem anywhere.

I am using Turkish alphabets at the articles. I read teh previous entires. http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2006-June/012964.html And the last word is written at the media wiki: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Pdf_Export#Almost_there_.28grin.29 It seems there is no solution.
