Stronger Passwords code example and help (1.7.1)
by joshua seagroves 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

Ok, I have this to require stronger passwords but when a user changes the password it does not enforce the rule. Works fine when creating the password but after that, well broken.Look at what i have pasted below and let em know where I screwed up.I have modified User.php to include this and also SpecialPreferences.php. This is with MW 1.7.1User.php:function isValidPassword( $password ) { global $wgMinimalPasswordLength, $wgBadPassword; if(strlen($password) <= $wgMinimalPasswordLength ) { $wgBadPassword = BP_TOOSHORT; return false; } if(!preg_match('/[0-9]/', $password) ) { $wgBadPassword = BP_NODIGIT; return false; } if(!preg_match('/[A-Z]/', $password) ) { $wgBadPassword = BP_NOUPPERCASE; return false; } if(!preg_match('/[a-z]/', $password) ) { $wgBadPassword = BP_NOLOWERCASE; return false; } $wgBadPassword = BP_NOERROR; return true;SpecialPreferences.php: if ( strlen( $this->mNewpass ) < $wgMinimalPasswordLength ) { Changed to something like this: if ( !$wgUser->isValidPassword( $this->mNewpass) { _________________________________________________________________ All-in-one security and maintenance for your PC.

Adding anchors to definition titles
by Johannes Luber 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

Hello all! I need to link to definition titles as one can do it already to the various headers. I've already tried to patch the parser.php myself, but after looking around I fear that I accidentally break the code or miss a side effect, if I edit the file with my none-existent knowledge regarding the code base. Can someone please help me out? I still have to use 1.6.8, so I'd appreciate at least a pointer, where the current version differs from this outdated one, if it does regarding parser.php. Thanks in advance! Johannes Luber

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/>

[Mediawiki=l] Create a new page and add it to DB using extension
by Pranav Desai 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Hello All, I would like to create a new page within an extension and also add it to the database (just like saving the page). I dont think the inputbox extension works here. Basically, I am looking for an extended version of inputbox, which will create 2-3 new pages with some basic text prefixed with the page name entered in the inputbox. E.g. if I enter test, it will create test_1, test_2. I would really appreciate any kind of help. Some API doc, example, etc. Thank you for your time. -- Pranav ------------------------------ http://pd.dnsalias.org

Auto logout due to inactivity causes lost changes while editing
by Pranav Desai 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Hello All, I am running the following versions: MediaWiki: 1.8.2 PHP: 5.1.6 (apache2handler) MySQL: 5.0.24a-Debian_9-log I have anonymous edits disables, so users have to log in to edit the page. includes/DefaultSettings.php $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createtalk'] = true; The problem I am facing is that when you are editing a page and keep the session open for a long time without any activity, it will logout automatically and then when you try to save it, it will ask to login again, losing all the changes I had made. The only way I could recover the changes is by hitting the browser back button and cut-pasting the changes. Are there any settings that will disable this auto logout ? I have some other wiki installations and I dont seem to have that problem there. Have I missed some setting here. Thanks for your time. -- Pranav ------------------------------ http://pd.dnsalias.org

Timeout after one hour when editing an article with non-permanent login [8411]
by bl＠vitronic.com 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Hello, when I am logged in non-permanently on MediaWiki 1.6.8 (with LDAP-Auth and PageProtecion) and edit an article for over one hour (e.g. start editing, go to a meeting and leave the window unchanged, come back and finish article or also if I spend one hour with pure writing and editing the article) I receive the error-message that I am currently not logged on, when I want to save the article. Logging in again with the given link as well as navigating with the browser's back-button, flushes the cache (maybe because of the disablecache() in PageProtection) without saving my changes. So my work of at least one hour is deleted. I don't know why MediaWiki has a timeout with runs out after one hour and I also don't know how to configure this value. Does anybody know, which parameter is reasonable for this behavior? Thank you in advance, kind regards, Frank
