Re: [Mediawiki-l] Get Mediawiki to read template variables within extension tags?
by Romain GUILLOT 15 Jul '06

15 Jul '06

Hi all, I think I can help you out I hacked mediawiki parser.php (version 1.6.3) three monthes ago in order to extend mediawiki extension behaviour for my personnal use. My tweaks addressed two parsing issues : - parser limitations regarding template arguments handling within extension - parser not handling correctly some nested extensions cases My hack is rather ugly, but it is working like a charm. (with the 1.6.3 version) You can browse the code here : <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Guilrom/ParserRGVersion> http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Guilrom/ParserRGVersion Let me know if this is helpful !

Ruud, if you open a bug with a list of dutch bookstores in this format (this is an example from german L10n): 'abebooks.de' => 'http://www.abebooks.de/servlet/BookSearchPL?ph=2&isbn=$1', 'Amazon.de' => 'http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ISBN=$1', 'buch.de' => 'http://www.buch.de/de.buch.shop/shop/1/home/schnellsuche/buch/?fqbi=$1', where $1 is the placeholder for the isbn number, we can add this to the dutch localisation as default.

Restricted Namespaces
by Dan Davis 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Anyone have much experience with the Restricted Namespaces patch? http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hidden_pages#version_1.5 http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1924 I've got it installed and configured... works great. When a user logs in, a list of the namespaces to which s/he has access is presented. I would like to add that list to the sidebar between the navigation box (MediaWiki:Sidebar) and the search box (MediaWiki:Search). Any thoughts on the best way to approach this? Dan

Caching of language messages
by mta 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Hi all I am running a mediaWIKI multilingual setup and have some problems with renaming some action tabs of MediaWIKI. If I change the entry for 'nstab-main' in languages/Messages.php (which seems to be the default file for english) to another value, this changed value should be in the action tab instead of "Article" - but it is not visible. Also if I change it in the other language files e.g. languages/MessagesDe.php for german, there is no change. I also tried to purge the pages and clear the page cache, but without success. So my question is: Are these messages cached somewhere else? Thanks for any hints in advance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Caching-of-language-messages-tf1936683.html#a5306275 Sent from the WikiMedia General forum at Nabble.com.

NamespacePermissions Extension
by Petr Andreyev 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

I've written an extension that might be useful for someone as it is for me. It provides flexible access management for custom namespaces by using separate permissions for each action (read,edit,create,move) on articles in each custom namespace. See details on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/NamespacePermissions_Extension Comments and suggestions are very welcome. -- Petr
