Peter Blaise responds: Our problem was that not everyone's boot script gave them access to the same share drives, so we put the files under a web-served directory (or expand the web server configuration to include the desired existing directories). Then regular external HTML links work fine.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Creating a hierarchical tree view

I mean, using the categorytree extension achieves my requirements. <categorytree> tag can be used with an attribute mode=all which will show the articles and sub-categories in a parent category.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Tagging sections with keywords and retrieve them
by Monahon, Peter B. 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

> Earlier: "... I want to add keywords > (tag/annotate) to [an article] and retrieve > those ... on another page ... the problem > ... the result would be an article. I need > only a particular section of the article > as result ..." Peter Blaise responds: I broke out each section to it's own sub page, and that may help you get, in your search results, what was once only the former "section", but because now it's on it's own page, it is a discreet nodule of information that responds better to such searches and links on it's own as a separate result. But then, how to reassemble and display the content of all these new subpages back together again on the main article page above those sub pages so they look and read as you originally intended? http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SubPageList2 ... with: <subpages deepness=1 mode=preview /> ... in the content of article page above all those subpages (along with any other content I want, such as automatic or my own construct of a table of contents of the sub pages, and more). What were previously sections now have all the features and benefits of independent pages, yet the extension, SubPageList2, permits me to display them as if they were still sub sections, all on one page. This gives me a pleasant selectable mix of page, section, and subpage features and benefits from which you may be able to design a solution to your challenge. There's more. This allows people to discuss/talk about what looks like a section of a large page, but they get a separate, dedicated discussion/talk page for their "section" because it's really a page on it's own. Otherwise, when we try to discuss/talk about a section on a page, we get the discussion/talk page for the entire master page, not exclusively for that sub section on it's own! Now, each section has it's own discussion/talk page- cool! Note, I "protect" the article page so people don't waste their time trying to edit an unassembled ghost. When they click on what looks like a sub section, it brings them to a dedicated sub page for that section, and then they can edit or discuss/talk about only that "section". Let us know how you resolve your design challenge. I really enjoy these architecture discussions. Sort of like opening a can of paint with a screwdriver, in that it's not in the instruction manual for the screwdriver. That's the way we seem to use the Mediawiki tools, too - very creatively, and far off the official, simplistic "instruction sheet" that comes with each extension! Thanks to Martin Schallnahs and Rob Church for SubPage2.

Links to files
by Charlie Markwick 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

We are using a wiki for internal policies and procedures and want to create links to files. I had assumed that using:- [file://///FileStore/documents/AddingDomains.pdf Adding Domains] would give me a clickable link but it doesn't. Is there a way of getting this to work? Charlie Markwick

Removing extension mark-ups
by Jack Eapen C 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Hi, While using many extensions, we need to mark up wiki content with different tags (e.g. SMW, LST, Treeview, DPL, and so on) But if at one point we need to remove an extension, it leaves behind all the extension-specific markup in the content. is it possible to clean up the content?

The page cannot be displayed
by Monahon, Peter B. 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

Hi fellow Mediwikians, I've got a sticky page. I can't nail it. It was long, and had sub pages, and seemed to work (display) without problem for months. I just updated it with a long replacement page. Then I got this from Internet Explorer: The page cannot be displayed The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings. From Mozilla FireFox: Network Error (tcp_error) A communication error occurred: "" The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time. All other pages in the wiki are fine, even longer ones, even one with more sub pages. To resolve it, I though I'd just build the page on another wiki, then export it, and then import it to my own wiki ... and it worked! Once. But that was just the top, the most recent revision. So, engorges with my recent success, I then thought I'd try building the old AND new version on another wiki, and export the whole revision history shebang form the other wiki, and then import the whole revision history shebang into my own wiki so my users could compare history, and now the symptom is back - no access, same time out error message from Internet Explorer. I've rebuilt and optimized all tables in PHPMyAdmin and no change. (Some tables prefer optimize, some prefer rebuild?) wikidb.wiki_archive optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_categorylinks optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_externallinks optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_filearchive optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_hitcounter optimize note The storage engine for the table doesn't support optimize wikidb.wiki_image optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_imagelinks optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_interwiki optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_ipblocks optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_job optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_langlinks optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_logging optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_math optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_objectcache optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_oldimage optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_page optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_pagelinks optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_page_restrictions optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_querycache optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_querycachetwo optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_querycache_info optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_recentchanges optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_redirect optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_revision optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_searchindex optimize status Table is already up to date wikidb.wiki_site_stats optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_templatelinks optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_text optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_trackbacks optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_transcache optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_user optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_user_groups optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_user_newtalk optimize status OK wikidb.wiki_watchlist optimize status OK I have a work around by creating a duplicate "look alike" page via capitalizing an additional word in the title ("and" becomes "And"), and that separate page works fine with all the same content duplicated in it's history! But ... Has anyone else had a sticky page problem like this? Is it a threshold problem and the page itself is irrelevant (such as file placement in the underlying OS, and it will "pass" if I defrag my drive and move the file, physically, away form some 32 gb transom?)? Any clues? Any resolutions? Anyone see this and fix it before? (By the way, nothing on this on http://www.mediawiki.org/ yet.) Thanks. - Peter Blaise

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Creating a hierarchical tree view

Hi, I think my further experiments with Treeview got some success in manually creating the hierarchy with page links. But with the CatTree template, it seems only 2-levels are possible-that also will list only categories, not articles. Anyone has some better idea on this?
