Transclusion problem
by Tim Ware 30 Dec '06

30 Dec '06

I'm trying to transclude content from a template on one wiki to another, both under the same domain, in different subdomains, running off of one MW install v.1.8.2. I've added this to LocalSettings.php: $wgEnableScaryTranscluding = true; In phpMyAdmin, for the wiki that will receive the content: I set iw_local: 1 iw_trans: 1 If I have this for iw_url: http://against-the-day.pynchonwiki.com/wiki/$1 and this code on the target wiki page: {{pwiki:Help}} (Help is a template I created) I get this in the preview: [Template fetch failed for http://against-the-day.pynchonwiki.com/ wiki/Template%3AHelp?action=render; sorry] If I have this for the iw_url: http://against-the-day.pynchonwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=$1 it pulls in the whole page, styles and all. Doesn't work at all. For some reason, the colon is getting read as "%3A". Thanks. Tim

Importing (archiving) web pages into MediaWiki?
by Forrest Aldrich 30 Dec '06

30 Dec '06

I've seen a few products (mostly commercial) out there that do this; however, it seems reasonable that such a functionality might be useful here. Too often I run across really good articles on web pages that get bookmarked, only later the actual site disappears. In this case, wouldn't it be "nice" to be able to import that page (and its elements) for private use into MediaWiki, with full search capability. Would be a great reference point. Anyone thought of this? _F

Thumbnailing error
by Joseph Beaudoin 29 Dec '06

29 Dec '06

We've recently upgraded to 1.9 alpha and we've run across the following error while trying to thumbnail images. (Old thumbnails work fine, any new files that are uploaded have the problem, apparenlty.) Error creating thumbnail: sh: /path/to/bin/ulimit-tvf.sh: /bin/bash : bad interpreter: No such file or directory Could someone shed some light on this? Thank you! -- Joe Beaudoin Webmaster, Battlestar Wiki http://www.battlestarwiki.org

math/texvc problem
by Martin Mrazek 29 Dec '06

29 Dec '06

Hello, I'm trying to make TeX formula working in MediaWiki under Windows. It doesn't work yet (experiments are described in the preceding mail). I tried manual test of texvc.exe texvc.exe "c:\temp" "c:\temp" "x^2" The displayed output: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- latex: unrecognized option `-quiet' gs: Interpreter revision (854) does not match gs_init.ps revision (707). gs: Interpreter revision (854) does not match gs_init.ps revision (707). convert: no decode delegate for this image format `c:\temp\1996_caeec96a64f7a8a9 edff9788f38e8083.ps'. convert: Postscript delegate failed `c:\temp\1996_caeec96a64f7a8a9edff9788f38e80 83.ps'. convert: missing an image filename `c:\temp\caeec96a64f7a8a9edff9788f38e8083.png '. ccaeec96a64f7a8a9edff9788f38e8083x2 + z4 + z8 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- but nothing was saved in c:\temp. Can anybody explain to me, what's going on there? Imagemagik's convert works well... Problem of ghostscript?? Why there is nothing saved to in c:\temp?? When I tried the original render.ml, the file 1996_af70815e91e661db930956cdd84e0b52.tex was saved to c:\temp with correct TeX code \nonstopmode \documentclass[12pt]{article} \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} $$ x^{2} $$ \end{document} but mediawiki wrote "Failed to parse(unknown error): x^2", when I wrote <math> x^2</math> on the page. So I change the render.ml as adviced in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Running_Mediawiki_on_Windows and then received the result above... Any hint, what's wrong here? Martin

Problems with TeX formulas in MediaWiki
by Martin Mrazek 29 Dec '06

29 Dec '06

Hello, I still cannot find solution on displaying TeX formulas in MediaWiki under Win XP. Steps of my experimentation are below. Everything ends up either by error "Failed to parse (unknown error)", or by [Unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula. Error 3 ]... Can somebody help me? thanx Martin 1. Downloaded TeXlive2005, OCalm, Gost Script, ImageMagik, 2. I used make from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ in wiki_dir\math RESULT - ERROR: ocamlopt -c util.ml 'as' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Assembler error, input left in file ... *** [util.cmx] Error 2 3. I used mingw32-make texvc.bc as recommended on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows 4. Renamed texvc.bc to texvc.exe 5. Edited wiki_dir/localsettings.php: $wgUseTeX = true; RESULT - ERROR: Instead of formula written: "Failed to parse (missing executable texvc, look at math/README for documentation): x^2". 6. According to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Running_Mediawiki_on_Windows#Building_texvc_… did the following: 1. in /includes/Math.php I replaced wfDebug( "TeX: $cmd\n" ); with the following: $cmd=str_replace("'","\"",$cmd); wfDebug( "TeX: $cmd\n" ); 2. in LocalSettings.php I added: $wgTexvc = "texvc.exe"; RESULT - ERROR: Instead of formula written: "Failed to parse (unknown error): x^2". 1. I tried several changes to math/render.ml: 1. I tried to write full path for convert, latex, dvips as recommended in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows#Finally_.2… RESULT - ERROR: Failed to parse (unknown error): x^2 2. I tried completely new math.php in wiki_dir/includes - see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows/math.php RESULT - ERROR: [Unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula. Error 3 ] 2. I tried also http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Running_Mediawiki_on_Windows#Alternative_Sol… It means to add into LocalSettings.php $wgUseImageMagick = true; $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "C:\Program Files\ImageMagick- 6.3.1-Q16\convert.exe"; $wgImageMagickIdentifyCommand = "C:\Program Files\ImageMagick- 6.3.1-Q16\identify.exe"; $wgLaTexCommand = 'C:\TeXLive2005\bin\win32\latex.exe'; $wgDvipsCommand = 'C:\TeXLive2005\bin\win32\dvips.exe'; RESULT - ERROR: [Unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula. Error 3 ]
