Frustrated with email
by Jack Eapen C 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Hi All, i'm struggling very much to make my MW sending emails. MW 1.11 is installed on a linux machine. But my company's mail server is a Windows Exchange server. So how can I make MW to send mails for watchlist changes etc. Regards, Jack Eapen C SunTec Knowledge Centre ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ "When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt" This electronic mail (including any attachment thereto) may be confidential and privileged and is intended only for the individual or entity named above.

Makesysop extension (steward)
by Gary Kirk 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I don't understand how this works with $wgLocalDatabases in order to set user rights on other wikis I operate. Is there a step-by-step guide and preequisites? Does the database username and password have to be the same on all? Does the Makesysop extension need to be installed on all wikis? Please help if you can. Thanks. -- Gary Kirk

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Problem with Semantic Mediawiki

Thanks Jim. Yes, the error reporting is off and that's not under my capacity to change that. But I added ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 ); error_reporting( E_ALL ); to LocalSettings.php as hinted by Rob in an old post. But nothing is displayed yet :( 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 Jim Wilson Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 12:48 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Problem with Semantic Mediawiki A blank page typically occurs when PHP's error reporting is turned off. The first thing I'd suggest is figuring out how to enable error reporting so you can see what's really going on. I believe this is done in the php.ini file. -- Jim R.

MW1.11, problem with database access.
by Jean-Lou Dupont 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi, I used to do: $db =& wfGetDB(DB_SLAVE); $tbl = $db->tableName('interwiki'); $result = $db->query("SELECT iw_prefix,iw_url,iw_local,iw_trans FROM $tbl"); while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) $this->iwl[ $row[0] ] = array( 'uri' => $row[1], 'local' => $row[2], 'trans' => $row[3] ); $db->freeResult( $result ); in MW1.10 but now it seems this code does not work under MW1.11. Help please, Jean-Lou Dupont.

Adding Extensions [Debian]
by Raymond Wan 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi all, I'm trying to install the source extension GeSHi extension (as suggested by in a previous discussion) and this is the first time for me for installing extensions. I've found out that things seem to be a bit different for Debian and I haven't turned up any information yet through Google. The installation instructions were here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi and for example, I installed the php-geshi Debian package via apt-get, and everything seems installed ok...but there is no file or directory that resembles "SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi". There also doesn't seem to be an "svn" program. However, there is a geshi.php and adding a "require_once ('path/to/geshi.php');" to LocalSettings.php doesn't seem to be enough...or at least, that didn't work. In /etc/mediawiki-extensions/extensions-available, I have geshi.php. I added a symlink from /etc/media-extensions/extensions-enabled to it -- that doesn't seem to help...I'm still missing something. Anyone have any ideas or know of the standard procedure of installing extensions for MediaWiki. I looked at the top of geshi.php and noticed this: <?php # Debian version of geshi syntax highlighting. # You need the php-geshi package to make use of it... makes me think that there is something Debian-specific to the installation process... Thank you! Ray

file upload problem in 1.10
by Jim Hu 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

I just had a problem where I couldn't upload an rtf file, even though I have $wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg','pdf','txt', 'doc', 'ppt', 'rtf', 'xls' ); in LocalSettings. I get a can't copy file from /var/tmp error message. Oddly, other uploads work fine, and the file imports via maintenance/importImages.php. Any idea what is going on?

Hacking dumpHTML to reference edit pages
by Seth Brundle 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

I am configuring a custom MediaWiki install for a large system which has a strict infrastructure of pushing HTML rather then serving PHP dynamically. My approach is to serve pages which edit under the shortname /ew (Edit Wiki) when the pages are being edited, and under /w (Wiki)when the static pages are simply being read, and auto-pushing the HTML to /w after editing. I have successfully used dumpHTML.php to export the static pages fine, but unfortunately dumpHTML.php seems to have no option for identifying edit links and sending them back to the source php location. Similarly, there is seemingly no way to tell MediaWiki to redirect to the HTML after editing a page. Before I go down a path of hacking the rendering engine and setting up URL rewrites to do what I want, I just wanted to put out a feeler for any other potential solutions that already exist, as my research hasn't been able to locate any. Also, if anyone has any heads up as to what to look out for as I proceed, thats appreciated to. Thanks Seth
