Extend reassignEdits.php to delete the source user
by Dan Davis 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Relating back to my foray into SSO authentication (got it working, btw... [still looking for a way to access MediaWiki:allowedusers from the plugin...]), I am going to need to reassign edits and delete old usernames. The reassignEdits maintenance script works like a champ to accomplish its purpose. And I think that I have a workable delete script based off of removeUnusedAccounts. Now, what I need to figure out how to do is move the User and User_talk pages (and subpages) from the old username to the new username. What would be the best way to accomplish that goal? Anyone else getting tired of reading all of these messages from me today? ;-) Dan

Very complicated URL Rewriting and more
by Ikke Snoeckx 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

Hi, I like to rewrite my "/wiki/index.php?title=article&action=edit (or whatever else)" to "/wiki/article?action=edit", and "wiki/index.php?title=Talk:article" to "/wiki/discuss/article" (also, how can I change 'Talk:article' to 'Discuss:article'?). I don't like to use LocalSettings.php, I want the url to be accessible both through "/wiki/article" and "index.php?title=article"... My wiki is installed in '/wiki' and not in '/w', and it must stay there. I'd like to use the httpd.conf file (Apache version 2.2.2), and not .htaccess (unless that is better of course)... Thanks in advance, Snoeckx Sebastiaan...

Loss of session data
by Rick DeNatale 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

All of a sudden, I can't edit my wiki. It's complaining about a loss of session data. I'd seen this once before when for some reason my session save path directory (/var/lib/php4) had disappeared. I checkd phpinfo and that's what it thinks the session save path is, but the directory is there and the permissions don't seem to have changed. I changed the owner from root to the user which runs apache and nothing changes. Any ideas on what else to check? The version special page reports: # MediaWiki: 1.6.7 # PHP: 4.4.0-3ubuntu2 (apache2handler) # MySQL: 4.0.24_Debian-10ubuntu2.3-log -- Rick DeNatale IPMS/USA Region 12 Coordinator http://ipmsr12.denhaven2.com/ Visit the Project Mercury Wiki Site http://www.mercuryspacecraft.com/

Syntax for RegEx
by Andy Roberts 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

I don't understand the syntax for contructing regular expressions yet, can anybody help please? I wanted to make one which catches all external links to sites which begin with the number 1 and also end with .org as this is a spam pattern I have been having repeated trouble with recently, but using |1*.org| has the unintended effect of blocking all .orgs So I reverted to this: $wgSpamRegex="/(phente|xanax|valium|geocities|casino|myflooring.org|display:none|-ambien|overflow:[ \t\n]*auto)/"; Cheers -- Andy Roberts

Looking for best User activity log analyzer for MediaWiki
by Brian Carpenter 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

I've been searching for a good user activity log for our Mediawiki intranet instance. Since MySql and PHP are already on the server, it would seem best to find one that uses those apps. I'm interested in visitor activity by both ip and/or username to find out which pages are the being used as the entry point and popular navigation paths. Being able capture cookie info would be icing on the cake. Any suggestions? Brian

AuthPlugin -> SSO without Special:Userlogin.
by Dan Davis 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

I want to write a custom AuthPlugin that will redirect users to a single sign-on page for authentication. Here's the rub, though... I don't want the user to have to go to Special:Userlogin. I have our wiki locked down... no anonymous reads or edits. Are there any hooks to login without user intervention? Or, will I need to hack core code to do this? Dan

MediaWiki: messages
by Dan Davis 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

Is it possible to comment the messages stored in the MediaWIki: namespace and then not have those comments included when calling then from a plugin or other code? <noinclude /> keeps the comments out in the page is included in another wiki article, but is there a way to do similar in code? None of the wfMsg* functions that I glanced at or tried did what I wanted. Thoughts? Dan
