XML Import Strips Markup Formatting
by Connolly, Wayne 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

Hi all, I just installed Mediawiki 1.7.1 on our intranet and imported successfully 206 pages - however after import each page has had its HTML markup completely removed. <h2>Some Title</h2> and <p>Some Text</p> are all that was used as markup. I have added the FCKEdititor as a exstention and written a custom LDAP extension after all the others failed, otherwise the mediawiki is stock. I have confirmed this by viewing and exporting the imported pages. In order to do the import I firstly exported a existing page - copied the format(I removed the namespaces - which is the only difference) and then combined all of the pages in to one xml (separated by <page> of course). It imported all perfectly - but without formating. What am I doing wrong? Below is my xml import the subsequest export code. <mediawiki xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.3/ http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.3.xsd" version="0.3" xml:lang="en"> <siteinfo> <sitename>Telstrapedia</sitename> <generator>MediaWiki 1.7.1</generator> <case>first-letter</case> </siteinfo> <page> <id/><title>3G</title> <revision> <timestamp>2006-11-08T04:30:26Z</timestamp> <contributor> <username>Root</username> </contributor> <text xml:space="preserve"> <h2>URL</h2><p> http://www.telstra.com.au/video/</p> <h2>Summary</h2> <p>Central repository for all 3G information including video services, mobiles, coverage, demos and useful tools. </p> <comment>Imported from XML Excel document - Telstra.com asset list v2.xls (See DME for original)</comment> <minor>false</minor> </revision> </page> </mediawiki> After importing the export produces a stripped file. <mediawiki xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.3/ http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.3.xsd" version="0.3" xml:lang="en"> <siteinfo> <sitename>Telstrapedia</sitename> <base>http://localhost/index.php?title=Main_Page</base> <generator>MediaWiki 1.7.1</generator> <case>first-letter</case> <namespaces> <namespace key="-2">Media</namespace> <namespace key="-1">Special</namespace> <namespace key="0"/> <namespace key="1">Talk</namespace> <namespace key="2">User</namespace> <namespace key="3">User talk</namespace> <namespace key="4">Telstrapedia</namespace> <namespace key="5">Telstrapedia talk</namespace> <namespace key="6">Image</namespace> <namespace key="7">Image talk</namespace> <namespace key="8">MediaWiki</namespace> <namespace key="9">MediaWiki talk</namespace> <namespace key="10">Template</namespace> <namespace key="11">Template talk</namespace> <namespace key="12">Help</namespace> <namespace key="13">Help talk</namespace> <namespace key="14">Category</namespace> <namespace key="15">Category talk</namespace> </namespaces> </siteinfo> <page> <title>3G</title> <id>1410</id> <revision> <id>1427</id> <timestamp>2006-12-18T01:57:46Z</timestamp> <contributor> <username>Root</username> <id>1</id> </contributor> <text xml:space="preserve"> URL http://www.telstra.com.au/video Summary Central repository for all 3G information including video services, mobiles, coverage, demos and useful tools. </text> </revision> </page> </mediawiki>

Can't write config file, even after chmod a+w config
by Andrew Stewart 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

I'm trying to install mediawiki 1.6.8 on a remote web host. I've chmod'd the config directory with the appropriate permissions, yet config/index.php still reports that it can't write the config file and instructs me to change permissions on the config directory. I'm wondering if the config script merely generates the LocalSettings.php file and if so, whether I can simply import a LocalSettings.php generated from another mediawiki installation. -- Andrew Stewart Research Assistant, Genomics Team Navy Medical Research Center (NMRC) Biological Defense Research Directorate (BDRD) BDRD Annex 12300 Washington Avenue, 2nd Floor Rockville, MD 20852 email: stewarta(a)nmrc.navy.mil phone: 301-231-6700 Ext 270

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Eaccelerator & MediaWiki issue

Joe, I had similar errors with eAccelerator .9.3 and .9.5, try an SVN snapshot, svn282 worked for me. http://snapshots.eaccelerator.net/eaccelerator-svn282.tar.gz Also, if you are trying to run config/index.php you might want to make a small edit in that file so eAccelerator is found to exist. config/index.php #435 $conf->eaccel = function_exists( 'eaccelerator_get' ); CHANGED TO $conf->eaccel = function_exists( 'eaccelerator_info' ); mediawiki-l-request(a)Wikimedia.org wrote: >------------------------------ > >Message: 5 >Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2006 12:43:49 -0500 >From: Joseph Beaudoin <joebeaudoin(a)joebeaudoin.net> >Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Eaccelerator & MediaWiki issue >To: mediawiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org >Message-ID: <4586D355.60307(a)joebeaudoin.net> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > >Hello, > >I'm attempting to run eAccelerator on a Mediawiki running 1.8.2.

We use the FCK Editor exclusivly, and the 'Show Preview' button still messes with people. Is there an easy way to globally remove that button? Andy.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Precompiled texvc (for mediawiki math functions)
by beachboy22＠verizon.net 18 Dec '06

Ok, I tried this and enabled the "execute" file permission for this file. Now I no longer get the "cannot locate texvc", so I am making progress... However, I now receive the following error message on a page that contains a math formula: Failed to parse (PNG conversion failed; check for correct installation of latex, dvips, gs, and convert): \sqrt{2} \sqrt[n]{x} Does anyone know what I did wrong or if I need something else? All I have done so far to enable math support it upload the precompiled texvc file and added the code below to my LocalSettings.php.

Eaccelerator & MediaWiki issue
by Joseph Beaudoin 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

Hello, I'm attempting to run eAccelerator on a Mediawiki running 1.8.2. I've noticed that some people have had success with it, but every time I attempt to run the page caching functions (the optimization function work great, though), I get the following error on a white page: *Fatal error*: Cannot access protected property DatabaseMysql::$mOut in */path/to/includes/Database.php* on line *415 *Has anyone else come across this error? Thanks! - Joe

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Best way to add menu to sidebar
by Tim Ware 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

Thanks. This sort of works, but in the code, if, in the sidebar, you give a section a 2-word (eg 'more navigation'), the system automatically assigns this ID: "#p-more navigation", and I can't modify the style sheet to style that section name if the ID has a space in it. So it works fine with one-word section names, but perhaps there's a way to give the code a name with hyphens or underscores while the visible name above the menu items doesn't have those characters? Is this clear? Tim > On 16/12/06, Tim Ware <tim(a)hyperarts.com> wrote: > > Running v1.8.2. > > > > What's the best way to add another sidebar module.

ArmchairGM / openserving
by Andy Roberts 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

I was interested to read that armchairGM.com runs on a version of mediawiki, and that this is to be used in the first instance by the new "openserving" service. I realise that this mediawiki-l list is for the mainstream version of mediawiki, but I was wondering if the possible widespread adoption of what seems to be a fork, might have implications back here eventually? Also while I'm here, can anybody point me to a suitable forum for discussion of the openserving project from a community builders point of view please? ref: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061211/bs_nm/internet_wikia_dc_1 -- Andy Roberts http://distributedresearch.net/blog/
