MW's system of redirect after login
by Eric K 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

Here's scenario #1: - User sees page - Clicks "login" - is redirected to the page, where he can edit. This is a good, however the following scenario #2 is not good: - User sees page - Clicks "Edit" - Prompted for login, and he logs in - But, now loses the link of the page he wanted to edit This is the problem. Is there any way the original page link can be preserved through all the steps of scenario #2? This is because usually people's first impulse is to hit "Edit". See my point?

Default Templates: i would each page that is newly created (let's say by searching a nonexistant page and then clicking "create page") will have a certain look. i'm aware of the templates feature, but i only know how to add it to a page after it's created. is there a way to say a default look for a newly created page? --- mediawiki-l-request(a)Wikimedia.org wrote: > Send MediaWiki-l mailing list submissions to > mediawiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, > visit > > http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l > or, via email, send a message with subject or body > 'help' to > mediawiki-l-request(a)Wikimedia.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > mediawiki-l-owner(a)Wikimedia.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it > is more specific > than "Re: Contents of MediaWiki-l digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

TeX formula problem (texvc)
by Martin Mrazek 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

Hello, I installed the TeX formula handling in Media Wiki according to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Enable_TeX I encountered the 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 C:\DOCUME~1\edvardas\LOCALS~1\Temp\camlasm78 7bc9.s mingw32-make.exe: *** [util.cmx] Error 2 I've read advice on http://wiki.mozilla.org/Talk:Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows I used mingw32-make texvc.bc generated texvc.bc and renamed it on texvc.exe, but my Mediawiki writes instead of the formula the red message "Cannot be understand, executable TEXVC is missing". The file TEXVC.exe is in MediaWikiFolder\math (i tried as well only MediaWiki). It seems texvc.exe does something. I tried type to cmd line texvc c:\temp c:\temp "y=x+2" the following was output to c:\temp ---filename: 1996_daa63ef966cc412541190bc8794731de.tex --- \nonstopmode \documentclass[12pt]{article} \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} $$ y=x+2 $$ \end{document} I use texlive 2005, Win XP, newest version of Apache, PHP, MediaWiki, MySQL. Can anybody send a hint how to fix it? Martin -- Martin Mrazek Mobil: +420 724 17 666 9 Skype: martin.mrazek.cz ICQ: 339-042-961 (mrazik)

Special:Version is blank issue
by Gary Kirk 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

Hello I can access via FTP the shared hosting my MediaWiki(s) are on and played around with the LocalSettings.php of the one where Special:Version is blank. I commented out a line I had added so it looked like this: ## require_once("extensions/Newuserlog.php"); and was previously: require_once("extensions/Newuserlog.php"); Now, of course, the new users log is not there. That is ok, however :) Thanks! -- Gary Kirk

limit access to special namespace to logged in users only
by Rejo Zenger 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

Hi, I am looking for a "good" solution to limit the access to pages in the "Special" namespace to logged in users only (except Userlogin of course, otherwise no one would ever be able to login and see the other pages in that namespace :)). A "good" solution would not be something of a dirty hack in the code of Mediawiki or apache configuration, but it would be something like a properly-coded extension or even a built-in feature of Mediawiki. I am planning to deploy a Mediawiki install for a website that is being maintained by a community of users, but of which special pages like the history of edits, should only be disclosed to this who are allowed to edit the pages (non-anonymous users). I am aware this is not specifically what Mediawiki was written for, and I understand this one of the reasons this feature is not or not yet in Mediawiki available. However, I presume, I am not the only one looking for something like this. Of course I did search Google, this lists's archives and the Mediawiki site to find me an answer. The answers I have found until now seem all to be in one way or another "a dirty hack" (an unmaintained extension, clumsy hack of Mediawiki code, etc). I do not mind creating a solution myself, but I want to make sure I am not overlooking something. Thank you in advance for your help, -- Rejo Zenger <rejo(a)zenger.nl> https://rejo.zenger.nl

'pending review' page revisions
by Ittay Dror 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

is there a way to allow users to edit a page, but make it 'pending review' so the revision that they created is not shown until authorized (maybe further edited)? -- =================================== Ittay Dror, Chief architect, openQRM group leader, R&D, Qlusters Inc. ittayd(a)qlusters.com +972-3-6081994 Fax: +972-3-6081841 www.openqrm.org - Data Center Provisioning

Where can I get a list of the email addresses that users have registed to access the site?
by Gerald Baxter 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

I added in the extension to our mediawiki site (www.maldenbowmen.org<http://www.maldenbowmen.org>) to make users register (by email validation). I'd like to be able to access their addreses to send occasional broadcast emails to them. I can see a list of User names OK ... but where are the e-mail addresses stored? Best Regards, Jed.

installed English UTF-8 in in MediaWiki, can only use ASCII
by Martin G. 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

Although I installed MediaWiki 1.8.2 with English - UTF-8, I now can not use special characters like Umlauts etc. I only get a blank page when I try to enter such characters or try to search for them. The page source reads: meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" So where can I fix that? I just want to enter the characters directly from the keyboard instead of maybe needing to enter codes. cheers _________________________________________________________________ Die neue MSN Suche Toolbar mit Windows-Desktopsuche.
