Change of style without reason
by Thomas Quinet 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Hey all, Thanks in advance for your help. I have a page with the following content (main page) and when I try it, it reduces automatically the font size of the titles on the top of the pages (the ones in the tabs (articles, modify, ...) as well as the classic left menu. All the other pages of the wiki are OK. I don't see how the code below could influence the way these boxes are displayed... Any hint? Thanks in advance Thomas Here is the code: {| |- | {| |-  | <div style="width:550px;float:left;margin:1em 0 0em 1em;border:1px | solid #a3bfb1 ;background: #bfc2e0;-moz-border-radius:10px;padding:10px 10px 10px 10px;"> <h2 style="font-size:150%;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;"> Bienvenue sur Titje.be !! </h2> <p style="margin:0 0 0 0%;text-align:center;font-size:100%"> blabla <br><br> Aujourd'hui {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} il n'y a pas moint de '''[[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles]]''' et '''[[Special:Newimages|{{NUMBEROFFILES}} images ]]''' sur ce site!</p> </div>  | rowspan="3" style="text-align:left ;width:150px;" | <div style="width:300px;float:left;margin:1em 0 1em 1em;border:1px solid #cbcbcd ;background:#febecf7;-moz-border-radius:10px;padding:5px 5px 5px 5px;"> [[image:blason.jpg‎|frame|center|[[Blason d'Enghien]]]] <p style="margin:0 0 0 0%;text-align:left;"> <br> <h2 style="text-align:left;margin:0;background-color:#bfc2e0;font-size:120%;font -weight:bold;border:1px solid #a3bfb1;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;"> Mode d'emploi </h2> blabla <h2 style="text-align:left;margin:0;background-color:#bfc2e0;font-size:120%;font -weight:bold;border:1px solid #a3bfb1;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;"> Page à l'honneur </h2> bleble |-  | <div style="width:550px;float:left;margin:0em 0 0em 1em;border:1px | solid #cbcbcd ;background: #febecf7;-moz-border-radius:10px;padding:10px 10px 10px 10px;"> <h2 style="text-align:center;margin:0;background-color:#bfc2e0;font-size:120%;fo nt-weight:bold;border:1px solid #a3bfb1;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;"> Contenu </h2> {|cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="text-align:center" width="540px" style="margin:1em; background-color:#febecf7" |style="text-align:center" width="33%" |<br/>[[Historique]]<br/><br/> {{Click-Inline||image = ExecutionBrunehild-small.jpg|link=Historique|height=50px }}||style="text-align:center" width="33%" |<br/>[[Monument et sites]]<br/><br/> {{Click-Inline | | image = Gravure-small.jpg | link = Monument_et_sites|height=50px }}||style="text-align:center" width="33%" |<br/>[[Vie associative]]<br/><br/> {{Click-Inline | | image = 100_ans_scouts_enghien-small.JPG | link = Vie_associative|height=50px }} |- |style="text-align:center" width="33%" |<br>[[Sport et |Culture]]<br/><br/> {{Click-Inline||image=centreculturel.jpg|link=Sport et Culture|height=50px}}||style="text-align:center" width="33%" | Culture|<br>[[Commune d'Enghien]]<br/><br/>{{Click-Inline||image = ecu.jpg|link=Commune d'Enghien|height=50px}}||style="text-align:center" width="33%" |<br/>[[Divers]]<br/><br/>{{Click-Inline | | image = |RadioEnghien-small.jpg link =Divers|height=50px }} |- |} </div> |-  |<div style="width:550px;float:left;margin:0em 0 0em 1em;border:1px |solid #bfc2e0;background: #febecf7;-moz-border-radius:10px;padding:10px 10px 10px 10px;"> <h2 style="margin:0;background-color:#bfc2e0;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;bor der:1px solid #a3bfb1;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;"> Qui sommes nous </h2> bleble </div> |} |}

Page Edit Error
by Rowe, Dolores A 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

While trying to save a page edit, a user received the following error: Does any one know how to correct this ? A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "SearchMySQL4::update". MySQL returned error "1016: Can't open file: 'searchindex.MYI' (errno: 145)". tanx, Lori

Activating subpages after creating a/b/c pages
by Alejandro Exojo 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Hi. I've wrongly created some pages with slashes on them (something like a/b/c). I _thought_ I was creating subpages, because I thought I had them activated in the main namespace, but they weren't activated. :-( Now I want to activate them, and I'm afraid I screwed it. Any suggestion on what to do? Can the subpages be activated with no problems, or should I move or delete first the pages with slashes on them? Thanks a lot. -- Alex

Page emebed & section title
by Giuseppe Briotti 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Hi all! Q1: I have a PageA with two small section. Say: ===Title 1=== yadayadayadayadayadayadayadayadayada ===Title 2=== yadayadayadayadayadayadayadayadayada Then I embedded this page in PageB (that hasn't any section) using the syntax {{:PageA}}. It works, (moreover, I can have for PageB a TOC accordingly if I place more sections in PageA), but with a strange (?) effect on the [Edit] link of the section originally in PageA. In fact when I click on the Edit, I obtain such error message: "You tried to edit a section that doesn't exist. Since there is no section 1, there's no place to save your edit." Looking at the link related to edit, it states: http://www.mysite.it/wiki/index.php?title=PageB&action=edit&section=1 Probably this is an expected behaviour or I miss something or I made a page embedding with wrong instruments... Any hint? A page embedding best practice? Q2: if I embed a PageC with no section in PageD, I embed the full page content (of course, depending on noinclude, includeonly tags if are). What I must do, if I would like the PageC title as section title of PageD (i.e. mebedding the PageC title also)? Thanks in advance Giuseppe

Extended character support using utf8-bin collation
by Paul Coghlan 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I am struggling somewhat with some Canadian place names that include extended characters. I create a page through the standard MW UI and called it Saint-Étienne but it arrives into the table (collated utf8-bin) with Saint-Ã‰tienne as the page_title?! This in turn is not accessible using the page_title to build the URL. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong? I am hoping to find a way to prevent this conversion of the characters. Many thanks, Paul

accessing session info from another .php script
by dKosopedia admin 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Let's say I have a v1.11 wiki at www.mydomain.com/wiki/Main_Page, with source and all in /w as seems to be standard. I want to provide users logged in to the wiki with a set of data management forms, say at www.mydomain.com/maint/index.php (and other .php files under / maint). I'd like to use the wiki login for /maint authentication, and grab the username and userid to put in the database for auditing purposes, as well as controlling access to the forms. In other words, once users successfully log into the wiki, their session info is used to control access by other .php scripts under the same domain. I have very little php session experience, and so am not sure where to start. Do my /maint .php files do a session_start(), and if so, what cookies to I look for to get username and userid? Can I just check for the username and userid cookies directly (and if so, what are they called), or is that open to spoofing? I've looked at my own Firefox cookies and see no PHPSESSID, so there must be some other session id thingy somewhere. I must be overlooking the obvious. Any help appreciated.

problem with installing extensions
by 2007＠gmask.com 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Hello, I need to install CheckUser. I followed the instruction when I include the extension in the localsettings then the site displays the contents of the php file?? FYI I'm being spammed by some guy who apparently runs one of those warcraft levels for money services. I was able to install the SpamBlacklist but it only blocks keywords in url's. This works but then he just come backs with new variations or domains. Is there a way to block certain words like "warcraft" in all entries. Thanks Adrian

PdfExport ERROR if set User rigth
by Reizer Gábor 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I tried to use my own mediawiki for giving PDF file to another software. I simply tried to use PDFExport for it. The external software give the appropriate URL to PdfExport.php and the PDF is ready. If user rights is default there is no problem. After I changed the user rights (see below), there is not any content in the generated PDF file, except the navigation menu on the left-hand side of the wiki's page. I set the user rights: $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['read'] = true; $wgWhitelistRead = array("Main Page", 'Special:PdfPrint', 'Special:Userlogin',); How can I get the whole content of the page? Can I somehow change the USER ID in the PdfExport.php? Any other solution?

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Frustrated with email
by Jack Eapen C 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I have configured our Exchange mail server as the smtp server on my local Windows machine where I have XAMPP installed. I usually test MW on this machine and the email features works fine. But the actual wiki site runs on a linux server. There mail is not working. (but I have other applications like Moodle on the same linux server which send out mails). In my localsettings.php, I added $wgSMTP = array( 'host' => "mail.suntecsbs.com", 'IDHost' => "suntecgroup.com", //I don't know wht to add here..... 'port' => 25, 'auth' => false, 'username' => "jackec", 'password' => "mypassword" ); 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 Boris Epstein Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 6:09 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Frustrated with email Jack, Is there an SMTP server you can use?

Deleted page shows up in Special:All pages
by Katharina Wolkwitz 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Hi, I've got a problem with a page named "Inhaltsverzeichnis W:\PC Inst" that I've tried to delete or move a few times but it still shows up in Special:All pages. I guess the reason lies with the \ in the page name, which btw doesn't show up when I click on the page in Special:All pages. The page shows up as deleted, but will not disappear from the list. :-( Is there a way to "really" kill pages like that and how do I go about it? I've seen nukePage.php in the readme-file from maintenance, but I'm not really sure how to use it and if it would solve my problem. Greetings Kate
