Default text for new pages
by Mike McGrath 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

Is it possible to define default text when a user clicks "edit" on a page that doesn't exist? I was looking at templates but that doesn't appear to be quite what I want in that the user has to know the template exists and specify it. Any ideas? -Mike

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Only article authors can edit their articles
by Jack Eapen C 19 Oct '07

Hi Nav, Try http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Simple_Security But it'll not automatically restrict only to author. I'm just thinking aloud: is it possible to include the default text (there's some parameter for that, right?) as {{#security:edit|{{CURRENTUSER}}}}? Here {{CURRENTUSER}} stands for the parser function of the uuser-- I'm not sure whether such a function exist or not :) Regards, Jack ---------------------------------------------------------------- "People forget how fast you did a job - but they remember how well you did it" -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Jean-Lou Dupont Sent: Friday, October 19, 2007 1:48 AM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Only article authors can edit their articles It gets just a little bit more difficult because the original author of a document isn't an information that is 'attached' to a page revision (only the last editor is). For sure, if one makes the assumption that *only* the author is ever allowed to edit the page in question, then one just has to pull out the username of the page's last revision... but then, this does not leave much more for special groups (e.g. sysop) to come in and manage the pages in question. Of course it can be done but, depending on method used, it can translate to slower transaction rates. Jean-Lou Dupont.

would making mysql do low char searches affect all wikis using that mysql install?
by Christensen, Courtney 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Hi, I have multiple wikis using one install of MySQL. They are all separate and have their own databases. One of the wikis needs to allow short word searching, but I don't want it to mess with the other wikis. Making the short search changes is to the whole MySQL install, not just specific databases, correct? This seems like a pretty dumb question, but I will appreciate being confirmed (or refuted). Thanks, Courtney Christensen

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Problem with Semantic Mediawiki
by Jack Eapen C 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Thanks for the hints. I raised the memory limits, checked the logs; but no clue. The server error log has no significant error messages. Some more info for all- even if I enable the SMW_Settings.php in LocalSettings, there is no problem. I get a blank page only when I add the enableSemantics('localhost'); line to the LocalSettings.php (SMW works only with this line). So it seems some problem with this function....?

Find "memory_limit" in your LocalSetings.php, and remove the comment signs from that line. Try experimenting with higher values. More than 100M, however, is most unlikely to be required. If this fails, we will need a more thorough analysis. Regards, Markus On Mittwoch, 10. Oktober 2007, Georgi Hristozov wrote: > Jack Eapen C wrote: > > Thanks Jim.

Hi, I want to make with Mediawiki something like a library. Is it possible to setup Mediwiki so that only a person who creates an article to be able to edit that corresponding article and that it is locked for others? Thanks --------------------------------- Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please? Perfect. Join Yahoo!'s user panel and lay it on us.

How to generate one page, containing the text of all subpages?
by Michael Logies 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Hello, I`m aware that I can use the extension SubpageList.php for generating a dynamic list of subpages (with <subpages>). Is there also a similar simple way to dynamically generate a page containing the full text of all subpages? Thanks Michael

Re: [Mediawiki-l] How to enable ldap authentication in mediawiki?
by Jack Eapen C 18 Oct '07

Hi, What are the lines needed for getting Active Directory groups as MW groups? IS that possible? In such a case will the AD groups co-exist with already existing MW groups? Regards, Jack Eapen ---------------------------------------------------------------- "People forget how fast you did a job - but they remember how well you did it" -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Lane, Ryan Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2007 6:33 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] How to enable ldap authentication in mediawiki? > $wgLDAPUseSSL = array( "exchangetest"=>"ssl"); This should be: $wgLDAPEncryptionType = array("exchangetest"=>"ssl"); As of right now you are actually using start_tls, and not ldaps (as the plugin defaults to start_tls for user protection purposes). If you have an SSL cert installed on your AD server, it should have the same effect, but they use different ports, and the encryption is slightly different; notice that not all AD servers are set up to use start_tls. By default AD doesn't use ldaps or start_tls, you are required to install a certificate. If you have a certificate installed, you may have a certficate trust issue. If you use: $wgLDAPEncryptionType = array("exchangetest"=>"clear"); and it works, you know this is an SSL issue. I strongly recommend against leaving this as "clear" though. > $wgLDAPUseLocal = false; > $wgLDAPDisableAutoCreate = array("exchangetest"=>"false"); These two default to false (pretty much everything defaults to false). Set: $wgLDAPDebug = 3; That will give you debugging info. If you can't figure out the problem, post your debug info with sensitive stuff snipped out.
