Adding the article problem.
by Skorupski, Bartlomiej 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Hi, I have a funny problem with wiki. I'm not even sure what is this caused by. I'm trying to add an article to corporate wiki. It has around 70 KB... Anyway I can add it to my testing wiki on localhost, but I cannot add it to corporate wiki. Around 62nd kilobyte at some point I cannot add anything more, because saving the article with this extra character/word/sentence causes that article becomes empty :D... Is that a matter of some configuration/bug/my browser/database whatever? How can that be fixed? Anyone encountered such problem? Data from version special page # MediaWiki: 1.7.1 # PHP: 5.1.4 # MySQL: 5.0.24 Best regards Bartlomiej skorupski

MediaWiki, LDAP Authentication and AD groups
by Ron Hall 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Howdy! I have Media Wiki 1.6.8 setup with Authentication to LDAP - this is behaving as advertised. I would now like to set it up so that only members of a specific group have access to editing the pages, though anyone can view them. I can send the config file or relevant bits if you think it will help - or do I need to do something different? r

Creating Pulldown Menus
by Willem-Jan van Strien 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

I posted this as I joined, but since I haven't seen it in the mailing lists, I think I might've done something wrong. First of all, pardon me if this doesn't go here, but I'm a brandnew MediaWiki user and I turned here because I couldn't find a solution to my problem anywhere. So, I'm hoping maybe you can. (And also, I hope this is what the mailinglist is intended for, although I'd appreciate it if you'd tell me if it wasn't) I've created my Wiki (currently running here <http://lyrcanna.xtservices.net>) for use in my Pen&Paper Roleplaying Campaign so my players have an easily accesible database of 'everything' in the campaign world. So I wanted to create an index in the MediaWiki:Sidebar which currently has the standard: * Main Page * Community portal * Current events * Recent changes * Random page * Help * Donations Now I'm working on reforging this whole thing into a simple * Introduction * Chapter 1 - History * Chapter 2 - Regions * etcetera... For this, I consulted a friend of mine who is fluent (-ish) in java programming for information on how to add a pull-down menu to this. So that if someone would click on let's say Chapter 1, he'd get * Introduction * Chapter 1 - History * A - The First Age * B - The Second Age * etcetera... * Chapter 2 - Regions * etcetera... He forwarded me the following HTML code: Quote: Originally Posted by *HTML-code* <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Lyrcanna Wiki Example 2</TITLE> <script src="showHide.js"></script> </HEAD> <BODY> <ul> <li><a href="javascript:showhide(Peral);">Peral, God of the Sun</a></li> <span id="Peral" style="display:none"> <ul> <li>Portfolios: Day, Fire, Justice, Law, Light, Sun</li> <li>Portfolios: Number 2, Healthy and Youthful</li> </ul> </span> <li><a href="javascript:showhide(Anastay);">Anastay, Goddess of the Moon</a></li> <span id="Anastay" style="display:none"> <ul> <li>Portfolios: A other one</li> </ul> </span> </ul> </BODY> <HTML> Which can be viewed here <http://test.xtservices.net/LyrcannaTest2.htm>. He also wrote the showHide.js applet that makes this whole thing tick. However, nomatter what I do, I can't get it running in the SideBar. Would any of you know how to implement this code? Or would any of you know of another way of implementing the functionality I'm looking for? EDIT: I just noticed that the java applet doesn't appear to be working on my test-site for it either. However, this is probably due to the workings of java-applets in combination with the suppliers of my domain space and not due to the fact that the html-code isn't supported (which 'is' the case on the mediawiki I think). Thought I'd supply you with the contents of the java applet too... Just in case. Quote: Originally Posted by *showHide.js* var Open = "" var Closed = "" function showhide(what){ if (what.style.display=='none'){ what.style.display=''; } else{ what.style.display='none' } } Greetings, Willem-Jan van Strien /The Netherlands/

just removing title of main page
by Hugh Prior 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Similar question to Dinth's, but rather than actually rename the "Main Page", how can I not have the page display the words "Main Page". I would like the sort of effect that Wikipedia has that the Main Page is called main page but does not display the words. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Thanks, Hugh

Shared upload - Settings
by Denise Signer 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Hi! I've been sitting in front of my computer trying to figure this out for hours... I've set up a media pool where all the image files should be stored. I also have two language wikis (hoping to have more in the future). The image resizing on the pool wiki works fine. But somehow it doesn't work on the language wikis. I always get the message: Error creating thumbnail: convert: no encode delegate for this image format `//media.jesus-wiki.org/w/images/thumb/7/7e/PD-icon.png/80px-PD-icon.png'. It all seems to depend on what I set for the $wgSharedUploadDirectory in the LocalSettings file of the language wikis. But I might be wrong. I set: $wgSharedUploadDirectory = 'http://media.jesus-wiki.org/w/images'; When I just add the image without resizing it ([[Bild:PD-icon.png]]) it works ok and the image shows. But when I add resizing ([[Bild: PD-icon.png|80px]]) I get the error message. I'd really like to know how I can solve this problem! I really need your help! If you need any other information, please ask! Thank you! GBY! Denise

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Fw: Pre-formatted text within lists - don't work in 1.7.1!
by asselarain-mediawikil＠yahoo.com 25 Sep '06

Perhaps I am being naive here, but... Is it very difficult to (re)implement <nowiki> </nowiki><pre><nowiki> PRE FORMATTED </nowiki></pre> Syntax to work properly? Any ideas.
