disable createaccount but enable forgotten password reset
by Sebastian Stark 07 Jun '06

07 Jun '06

I disabled anonymous account creation by using $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; which works. But this also disables the password-reset-by-email functionality. How would I enable the latter without enabling anonymous users to create an account? -Sebastian ps. My complete permission configuration is this: $wgWhitelistRead = array( "Main Page", "Spezial:Userlogin", "-", "MediaWiki:Monobook.css" ); $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = true;

math: Failed to parse (unknown error)
by Sonali Tamhankar 07 Jun '06

07 Jun '06

Hello all: Can you please help me get math set up right with mediawiki? Here is the problem: Typing "<math>a + b = c</math>" on a page produces output that says "Failed to parse (unknown error): a + b = c". My OS is Fedora Core 4. I installed mediawiki using instructions on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Running_MediaWiki_on_Fedora_Core I've checked following four things: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) I have created directories math and tmp: $ pwd /var/www/mediawiki/images $ ls -l total 24 drwxrwxr-x 2 apache root 4096 May 19 14:18 math -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 202 May 7 2004 README drwxrwxr-x 2 apache root 4096 May 19 14:18 tmp 2) latex, dvips, gs and convert are available: $ which gs convert latex dvips /usr/bin/gs /usr/local/bin/convert /usr/bin/latex /usr/bin/dvips 3) Here are some lines from my LocalSettings.php file: $IP = "/var/www/mediawiki"; $wgScriptPath = "/mediawiki"; $wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/images"; $wgUploadDirectory = "$IP/images"; $wgUseTeX = true; $wgMathPath = "{$wgUploadPath}/math"; $wgMathDirectory = "{$wgUploadDirectory}/math"; $wgTmpDirectory = "{$wgUploadDirectory}/tmp"; $wgEnableUploads = true; $wgUseImageResize = true; $wgUseImageMagick = true; $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/local/bin/convert"; 4) Finally, there is a texvc file in the math directory: $ ls -l total 380 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 377016 Apr 3 08:48 texvc ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everything seems okay, but it doesn't work anyway. Any ideas? How do I test the texvc file on command line? Thanks, - Sonali.

Cannot add new articles via Go/Search; search WikiPEDIA?
by Azurite 06 Jun '06

06 Jun '06

For some reason, on pages that I search for that do not exist (that I want to create), I get this message when I search for them: *You can < a href=":FAQ" class="new" >create an article with this title< /a > Please search Wikipedia before creating an article to avoid duplicating an existing one, which may have a different name or spelling.* The spaces that I included above are not in the actual message, so I don't see why that HTML tag would not be working. Second, why does it say "search WikiPEDIA" when this is my Wiki? This happens when I'm logged into my SysOp account. I did add a line to my LocalSettings.php from the MediaWiki documentation, to prevent page edits when users are not logged in, but I don't know why those errors would be occurring out of the blue like that. Thank you! ~Azurite

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Image page - 1.5 vs. 1.6

Sorry for the double post ... but i haven't bumped my unanswered questions in the past and that wasn't my intention here. I came back to news.gmane.org a day after my original post and it still hadn't shown up so i thought that since i had submitted it while the gname site was down for maintenance it had got lost in transit.

"There is a LocalSettings.php setting for the default. I've got 1.6 and the feature remains. Check your user preferences first, and see if you've explicitly set your user experience to use wide pictures in "Limit images on image description pages to" Thanks Sy this is what i needed to know.

action=purge question
by Andrea Forte 06 Jun '06

06 Jun '06

Hi all, I've written some hooks that run on article save to append a list of references to the bottom the page. My problem is, when I add a new reference and hit save, the article displays the old list of references until the cache is purged... I would like to force the page to purge. I guess that needs to be done in the updateArticle function in article.php? But how? Or is it possible to run the purge action from my hook? Thanks for any help. Hope to meet some of you in person at hacking days. :-) Andrea

I'm having trouble finding documentation on the various system messages. In particular, I'd like to figure out what MediaWiki:Googlesearch is all about. It looks interesting.

"Willy on Wheels" sabotage
by Sterling D. Allan 06 Jun '06

06 Jun '06

User:Willey on Wheels cam to my site and "moved" a bunch of pages so that they were appended with "on Wheels!!!" Benign but extremely obnoxious sabotage. Are there any measures to prevent this? Luckily, another user of the site phoned me notifying me of the change on a page he was working on, so I was able to ban Willy on Wheels before he did more damage. Where the problem became extra annoying was when the "on Wheels!!" was appended on top of an already "on-Wheels!!!"-appended page. When I tried to "move" the page to its original location, I received an error message that there was already content on that page. I got around this by reverting one append at a time. Then it worked. If I tried deleting any of the forwarded pages, the history was lost, as well as the counter statistics at the bottom of the page. Thus, the above procedure is necessary to maintaining the history and page view statistics. I notice that the "user contribs" function at first showed around 75 links for "Willy on Wheels" but after I undid the forawards, they were no longer listed, except in those instances where I did not undo the redirects correctly. http://www.peswiki.com/energy/Special:Recentchanges http://peswiki.com/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&hideminor=0&namesp… Sterling
