Re: [Mediawiki-l] Inline link color change? (Wikipedia Portals)

Perhaps a simpler question would be how to change a link color inline. This code does not work: <font color='#XXXXXX'>[[wiki link]]</font> -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Bass, Joshua L Sent: Sunday, April 23, 2006 8:32 AM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Inline link color change? (Wikipedia Portals) Ok, I am trying to duplicate the Portal usage as seen on Wikipedia. I have successfully created the templates needed, and altered them for my site. I am having a few minor problems. 1. When using Firefox, the heading colors change with the template as they should. The header text remains black under IE. 2. I cannot change the 'edit' link color. It appears they are using a <span> with an inline font color change, but it is not working on my site for the links, only the text.

Overriding Ugly URL's
by Michelle 23 Apr '06

23 Apr '06

We're trying to switch hosting of our wiki to a provider that doesn't limit the max_questions resource (Lunarpages). We've got everything working, but not until I switched LocalSettings.php from 'pretty' to ugly URL's. First, is there an intelligent way for me to ask Lunarpages why their php is installed this way and if something simple can be changed? Second, I've read http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ Eliminating_index.php_from_the_url but I'm not sure if the .htaccess suggestions will work for the case of keeping index.php but changing to the pretty URL, especially since we're running from a subdomain. Has anyone done that? Michelle

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Forced to create template

However, on my wiki, doing this simply produces red links. You need to start with a colon for any namespace other than Template. In your example, you should put: {{:User:Garykirk/ArticlesIStarted}} to include that page on another page. We do this all the time, and have done a coop incorporation by splitting up the bylaws into sections that different people worked on. :::: We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using nature's inexhaustible sources of energy - sun, wind and tide. I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power!

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Problem upgrading to 1.6.3
by Ed 22 Apr '06

22 Apr '06

Okay, after playing around a bit, I've been able to determine that one of the scripts (I think upgrade1_5.php) didn't convert table _old to _text. The problem I'm having now, is I can't seem to re-run the script, it just tells me it's been run all ready. Can anyone give me an idea of how I can force it to rerun? Or some other way to convert that table? Thanks, Ed _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

upgrading OS & mediawiki
by jdd 22 Apr '06

22 Apr '06

Hello. Basically the question I have is standard, but having read the doc I still have some questions. I have a running mediawiki server on SUSE Linux 9.0 and want to setup a new SUSE Linux 10.0 server (on the same machine) the old server runs mysql 12.21-4.0.15 (I don't really understand why there are so many numers), php 4.3.3 and mediawiki 1.5.8 the new one runs mysql 14.7-4.1.13, & php 4.4 & hopefully mediawiki 1.6.3 the first try failed with a wikiuser passwd problem. but it was made quite roughly, as a test, so no more on this. for the good proceding, may I install all the new things and try to import the backed-up database, or may I first import the backup to a mediawiki 1.5.8 install and upgrade mediawiki afterward? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

Forced to create template
by Gary Kirk 21 Apr '06

21 Apr '06

I don't run my own MediaWiki server, but I use a wikifarm service. On, for example, Wikipedia, I can include the contents of one page on another - i.e. on my userpage, add {{User:Garykirk/ArticlesIStarted}} . However, on my wiki, doing this simply produces red links. I have to create, for example, {{Template:User:Garykirk/ArticlesIStarted}}, which moves it all into the Template namespace. It's very silly, and I don't why this is necessary. Is it some extension, hook or whatever running on Wikimedia Foundation servers? The wikifarm I use is currently running MediaWiki 1.5. Any help would be much appreciated! -- Gary Kirk

TeX broken
by Robert Pfau 21 Apr '06

21 Apr '06

Hi I updated from 1.5.8 to 1.6.3 without any obvious errors. But now i see that my old and new math-pngs are no longer there i get the following error: **"Can't write to or create math output directory" but i already chmoded all possible dirs to 0777 and the error still occurs.... math/ images/math images/tmp so i activated the debugfile and found this hint. TeX: getHashPath, hash is: 5bf47f8c9e5d845a3bb424ab6d1d087b, path is: bla/w/images/math/5/b/f so i looked for the designated dir and it didnt exist...so it looks like mw cant create this dir how can i fix this ? it is strange because 1.5.8 didnt seperate the pngs but 1.6.3 does... LocalSettings.php is exactly the same... thanks in advance for any hint .robert ** ** **
