wiki dom-like structure
by Ittay Dror 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Hi, Any thoughts about changing the parser so it works in two steps? first, parse the wiki text to create a dom like structure of elements (you can have TemplateCallElement, InternalLinkElement etc.), then, traverse the tree, calling tag or function hooks. this will allow much more powerful extensions. Also, i think it will allow better handling of special characters. By not using regular expressions, and creating a tree of elements, special characters can be escaped naturally (quoted, or with '\').

Automatic Login using get_current_user()
by J Wolfgang Goerlich 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Hello group, I have installed Mediawiki 1.8.2 running on Windows 2003, served up by PHP 5.2 on IIS 5. I have attempted to integrate this with Active Directory, with lots of help from Ryan Lane, but have thus far been unsuccessful. It looks like such integration would require Openldap and probably more work that it is worth. An easier approach, it seems to me, would be to have IIS do the authentication and pass the information to Mediawiki. This is possible with Windows Integrated authentication. The username is available in PHP under $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] or get_current_user(). The next trick is to pass this onto Mediawiki. I tried the code below but it only generates an HTTP 500 error when parsing InitUser(). This might be because of versioning, because the example is for MediaWiki 1.5.5 and I have 1.8.2. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Otheus/Auto_Login_via_REMOTE_USER It also seems rather round-about to create an WebRequest and submit it to the form, which then does the login. Maybe I am missing something here, though, for I am rather rough with PHP. So, in sum, how do I simply and easily modify Mediawiki to use IIS's authentication? J Wolfgang Goerlich

Password Aging
by Sullivan, James (NIH/CIT) [C] 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

I've been asked to incorporate password aging into our mediawiki installation. I can't find anything at the Mediawiki site. Is there an extension for password aging or has anyone done direct SQL calls to age passwords? -Jim

Recent PHP upgrade killed Mediawiki?
by Tim Hogan 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

I run a mediawiki v1.8.2 on a FreeBSD box and it has been working fine for a while now. I recently updated the ports on FreeBSD which means that apache, php, php modules, and a few other things were updated and from that time forward mediawiki stopped working, I just get a blank page. What is strange is that all of my other php application still work, mediawiki is the only application that stopped working. The only thing that I can find is this error in apaches logs; [Sat Dec 30 01:55:17 2006] [error] [client 10.1.1.58] PHP Fatal error: Cannot access protected property DatabaseMysql::$mOut in /data/webapps/mediawiki-1.8.2/includes/Database.php on line 415 [Sat Dec 30 02:09:44 2006] [notice] child pid 15919 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Sat Dec 30 02:09:44 2006] [notice] child pid 15917 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) Any Ideas as to what happened? Regards, Tim

Re: [Mediawiki-l] texvc binary for MediaWiki-1.8.2
by Martin Mrazek 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

BINGO!!! Finally got it ! I used Alternative Solution with dvipng http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Running_Mediawiki_on_Windows#Alternative_Sol… But moreover, in the includes/math.php for this solution http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows/math-dvipn… I changed var $_dvips_path = 'dvips.exe'; to var $_dvips_path = 'dvipng.exe'; Beforehands the fatal problem was, that my dvipng.exe was not working well - no error written, but it did simply nothing. I changed from TeXlive to MiKTeX and it's ok... -- Martin Mrazek Mobil: +420 724 17 666 9 Skype: martin.mrazek.cz ICQ: 339-042-961 (mrazik)

SmoothGallery parser extension
by Lane, Ryan 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

I've created an extension to embed SmoothGallery image galleries into MediaWiki articles via a parser extension. It should be a mostly feature complete integration of SmoothGallery. For more info on the extension, see: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SmoothGallery SmoothGallery is a Javascript/CSS image gallery; for more info on SmoothGallery, and examples of galleries, see: http://smoothgallery.jondesign.net/what V/r, Ryan Lane

Do you mean change of includes/math.php into http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows/math.php as written a few lines above the Alternative solution? Or do you mean another change to math.php? I tried the first one and it didn't work as well... Martin -- Martin Mrazek Mobil: +420 724 17 666 9 Skype: martin.mrazek.cz ICQ: 339-042-961 (mrazik)

Free and ad-free mediawiki hosting anywhere?
by Kelly Jones 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Does anyone offer free *and ad-free* mediawiki hosting? My project is fairly fannish, so it wouldn't qualify for sf.net free hosting (for example). I'm currently using awardspace.com, which is free and ad-free, but only runs PHP 4.4.1. If I'm forced to stick with awardspace.com, what's the last version of mediawiki that will still work with PHP 4 (specifically PHP 4.4.1)? I do realize other wikis work with PHP 4, but I'm hooked on mediawiki :) -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology.

texvc binary for MediaWiki-1.8.2
by Martin Mrazek 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hello, does anybody here run MediaWiki 1.8.2 on Win XP? I have still problems to make TeX formulas working. Maybe the best solution would be to ask somebody with the same version of MediaWiki to send me compiled (and working :) ) texvc.exe... I tried several versions of math/render.ml to make texvc.exe, but received only different error messages... If you can, please send the file (or write another hint).
