Re: [Mediawiki-l] Apache virtual hosts
by Arthur Guy 02 Jun '06

One way you can do this is setup another virtual host at the top of the list of virtual hosts which responds to the default address http://mysite only and includes a permanent redirect to the full address. Redirect / http://mysite.example.org/ Arthur arthur(a)assys.net -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Michael Roach Sent: 02 June 2006 22:28 To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Apache virtual hosts I have a box running mediawiki and am now using virtual hosts on it to enable me to have a test version of the site running on port 8080. What is the "proper" way to force visitors to use the full server dns name? So, if I browse to 'http://mysite' the production wiki pops up and 'http://mysite:8080' the test wiki is shown. works great. love it. Now what I want to happen is that when a visitor goes to 'http://mysite' they get redirected to 'http://mysite.example.org' and going to 'http://mysite:8080' takes them to 'http://mysite.example.org:8080'. Basically, I want them to always be using the full canonical host name. I'm not sure how to setup a redirect like this in Apache2. Any tips would be appreciated.

Any hints on converting Word docs to wiki markup? I'm trying to build a corporate intranet site and (surprise) most of my source material is in Word.

wikitables

Hi, I am pretty new to media wiki. I was trying to follow the guide on tables here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table I found that when I put a table in my wiki like this.... {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" |+Multiplication table |- ! × !! 1 !! 2 !! 3 |- ! 1 | 1 || 2 || 3 |- ! 2 | 2 || 4 || 6 |- ! 3 | 3 || 6 || 9 |- ! 4 | 4 || 8 || 12 |- ! 5 | 5 || 10 || 15 |} ... I don't get the nice looking table with dark and light grey backgrounds in the cells. I get no borders either. I went into skins/common/common.css and saw that it didn't have anything for wikitable so I pasted the following into there... /* wikitable/prettytable class for skinning normal tables */ table.wikitable, table.prettytable { margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; } table.wikitable th, table.wikitable td, table.prettytable th, table.prettytable td { border: 1px #aaaaaa solid; padding: 0.2em; } table.wikitable th, table.prettytable th { background: #f2f2f2; text-align: center; } table.wikitable caption, table.prettytable caption { margin-left: inherit; margin-right: inherit; } This still didn't help. What else do I need to do? Thanks, ~Eric

Here is the wiki and corresponding html. So I guess the answer is yes...class=wikitable is showing up in the html.

Yeah, that thought had crossed my mind but then I still need one of those per picture and honestly the use of a template instead of a table isn't that big of a difference. They both look about the same. The use of a template would help if I wanted to make some global changes. {{howtowithpix| #step one #step two #step three | [[Image:bla.jpg|thumb|200 px]] }} Compared to {| |- #step one #step two #step three | [[Image:bla.jpg|thumb|200 px]] |} -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Joshua Yeidel Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 3:00 PM To: mediawiki list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Pictures and Text If you put the table code in a template, it should be pretty easy for "Joe" to edit; something like {{howtowithpix|  #step one #step two #step three |  Image:firstthreesteps.jgp }} The template I used was: {| |- |{{{1}}} |{{{2}}} |} -- Joshua On 6/2/06 7:06 AM, "Frederich, Eric P2173" <eric.frederich(a)siemens.com> wrote: > Hi, > > A lot of what I am using our wiki for is how-to guides with a lot of > screen shots. > I have found that even if I place an image in a section it may be > displayed in another section. > The only way I have found to make sure that the instructions are placed > next to the screen shot they pertain to is to put them both in a table > and separate each of the tables with a horizontal dividing line (this is > shown below). > My problem with this is that it defeats the purpose of a wiki in that it > is no longer easy to edit by average Joe. > Is there another method to get pictures and related text to be put > together in a nice way? > Some of our pages have 12 or so screen shots with 3 or 4 instructions > per each screen shot. > > {| > |- > | > # do this > # then this > # and finally this > | > [[Image:some picture.jpg|thumb|200 px]] > |} > > ---- > {| > |- > | > # one > # two > # buckle your shoe > | > [[Image:another picture.jpg|thumb|200 px]] > |} > > > Thanks, > ~Eric > _______________________________________________ > MediaWiki-l mailing list > MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org > http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

Thanks. That seemed to do the job except now if I wanted the pictures to be on the right and I have a wide monitor it is hard to line the text up with the image. So I tried to put a horizontal dividing line between and noticed the horizontal line didn't go all the way across and stopped at the picture. Is there a way to get the line to go all the way across?

edit link when Site Notice is displayed
by =James Birkholz= 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

I just noticed that when the Site Notice is displayed in my current configuration, that it includes an "Edit" link, which opens up the edit page for neither the page I'm viewing/editing nor the Site Notice page. Instead, it opens the edit page for the home page.... James
