Any update on URL case-sensitivity?
by Matt England 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Any update on URL case-sensitivity? For what it's worth: Is it simple to make LocalSettings variable that says something along the lines of: CaseInsensitiveURLs = disabled # default If "enabled," it makes someone typing in the URL from some other reference make sure they always hit the wiki page regardless of case...and the URL-to-page-title-page-matching mechanisms essentially uses what is available in the "Go" field right now wrt case-insensitive page discovery. (I currently co-admin a MW 1.4.0 server...and yes I know we are woefully behind. We are currently in the process of migrating to a set of MW 1.5.x servers.) For what it's worth, we have converted my entire company over to wiki usage, and many of us type in the URLs by hand to save time having to go to "Go" field and type it in there...and every day I grumble about not having case-insensitive URL matching. If someone can point me to the best place to change this code to support this, I might try my hand at it myself...if it's not already implemented. -Matt >Brion Vibber brion at pobox.com >Tue Sep 20 19:32:28 UTC 2005 >Re: [Mediawiki-l] Where can I read about the URL case-sensitivity debate? > >Matt England wrote: > > I'm sure this has been debated many times, so I simply ask: > > > > Where's the best place to read about the current state of affairs with > > respect case sensitivity for MW URLs? > >There is no support for case-insensitive titles at this time. > >It may be added some day in the future, requiring database changes to >move case-normalized titles out into another table and provide proper >matching. > >-- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Structured bug/enhancement/task tracking for dev?
by Matt England 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

Does Mediawik development have a Bugzilla or similarly-structured tracking mechanism (I also recommend RequestTracker <http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/>) for bugs/updates/enhancments (like my case-sensitivity feature I'm about to request)? If not, I suspect that the community could significantly benefit from such a system. I have found it hard to operate without such systems on other projects I both use and manage and can offer some minimal assistance with setting these things up if anyone is interested. -Matt

anyone using mafs/RSS extension?
by Chris Earle (CBL) 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

Anyone using the mafs/RSS extension to parse RSS feeds? http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Mafs/RSS Should work like a charm, but thing is, I've got my entire wiki behind auth-basic (htaccess) protection. I'm wondering if that's preventing the extension script from getting to the rss output (using to pull Recent Changes feed)? What makes me think that's the problem is that I can get it to work with an outside public feed like from the BBC News or something. (I take this that magpie 0.72 is working fine, etc...) If I'm already cleared by apache or whatever because I'm already accessing the wiki, I guess that doesn't matter because the rss extension is on the server? I need to allow it access or something?

Duplicate a wiki or a wiki database
by FreeAll Support 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

Hello all... Well, I wish to open a new wiki which is similar in many ways to the wiki I already have. I know the Export feature is not working yet, so I wondered if you know about any other way to duplicate the wiki or the wiki database instead of installing a new one and copy the pages one by one... My wiki version is 1.5.6. Thank you all very much, Peleg.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Duplicate a wiki or a wiki database

Just duplicate the database using your normal database management software, then take a copy of the files and point them to the new database.

Storing images and uploaded files in the database
by Brett Berry 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

Can MediaWiki be configured to store all images and user uploaded files into MySQL? We are running in a replicated environment, and have our database replicating automatically. We would prefer to store any user provided files in the database, so that we will not have to script out a replication solution for files stored on the filesystem.
