search hook
by Alexander Steffan 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hello all! I want to expand the search to an further table I created. This second table contains a fulltext index from attachments like pdf, doc and so on. Where I've to start to set up a hook that expands the search query? Anonther idea is to build a hook that runs an extra query on the new table and just add the results to the resultset of the mediawiki search, so I don't have to care how to display the results. Thanks a lot! Alex

query string in template
by John Moorhouse 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

I want to create a template that will add a specific style for some external links to a web based flow charting system, eg:- *Click here for flowcharts about this subject (Subject Name) this would be called by {{flow|url of flow chart}} The flow template would be:- {|style="border:1px solid orange;background-color:#FFFACD;padding:1px;" width = 100% | *[{{{1}}} Click here for flowcharts about this subject ({{PAGENAME}})] |} but the URLs contains query strings eg:- {{flow|http://webcentral.powys.gov.uk/webcentral/Authorised_Signatory_Sheet.doc?objid=462}} Which the template system doesn't seem to like the ?objid=462 on the end of the URL Thanks John -- John Moorhouse Website Development Officer The Gwalia, Ithon Road, Llandrindod Wells, Powys LD1 6AA 01597 82 7090 john.moorhouse(a)powys.gov.uk ----------------------------------------- Cyngor Sir Powys County Council www.powys.gov.uk Mae'r e bost hwn ac unrhyw atodiad iddo yn gyfrinachol ac fe'i bwriedir ar gyfer y sawl a enwir arno yn unig.

MW-l in spanish & catalan
by david 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hi, I'm just subscribed. I'm using MediaWiki from about 3 years ago in several projects (art, research, education, technology, activism, ...).[*] Now I'm feeling the need to have a mailing list in my language to share doubts & experience with other persons who also use Mediawiki. I wanted to create a list of this kind in Catalan and another in Spanish but Platonides (from Wiki-es-l) has suggested me to ask here so that it can be created in the servers of Wikimedia. regards; dvdgmz. [*] some wiki projects in which I'm involved: GERMINADOR wiki: http://netart.iua.upf.edu/germinador netartwiki: http://www.netartwiki.net HM wiki: http://sindominio.net/hackmeeting GRF wiki: http://multimedia.uoc.edu/~grf

Opening wiki-link in new window/new tab
by Katharina Wolkwitz 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hi there, I've got a problem with my wikis "editing help"-page, that can be called from the edit window. It says "(wird in einem neuen Fenster geöffnet)" --> opens in a new window next to the link, but somehow I managed to "kill" that feature. :-( I moved the page to a new name and then reversed the move via the log-functionality. And I added some text to the page. Now it'll open in the same window / the same tab as the edit window, overwriting the edit window and at the same time loosing all unsaved changes... :-( It still works as it's supposed to in my test-wiki, and I cannot find out what the difference of the two is. The link looks the same in the browsers-address-field. Can somebody help me restore the "opening in new window"-feature? Greetings Kate

Export pages to PDF
by Reizer Gábor 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hi, How can I convert my MW pages to PDF if I changed user rigths? I simply tried to use PDFExport for it. I have an external software that can give the appropriate URL to PdfExport. 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: User rights: $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['read'] = true; $wgWhitelistRead = array("Main Page", 'Special:PdfPrint', 'Special:Userlogin',); How can I get the content of the page? Can I pass reading right while generating PDF? Please write me soon. Regards, Gabor

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There is 1 user, that for whatever reason the first time she logs into a wiki, the debug information shows that everything worked successfully.

Entering validDomain User is using a valid domain. Setting domain as: UWW Entering getCanonicalName Username isn't empty. Munged username: Username Entering modify template At this point, it returns invalid password and fails to continue processing. Any ideas?

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Cleansing database for launch
by Jack Eapen C 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hi Why don't you try http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpecialDeleteOldRevisions I'm using it and works fine. Just give %% for all the articles and give date as today. It'll delete all revisions upto this date except the current revision. 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 Paul Coghlan Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2007 5:21 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Cleansing database for launch I am once again returning to the task or cleaning the database prior to a launch. We have several hundred thousand pages and up to 20-30 revisions per page. I need to strip all revisions prior to the current one to effectively clear the history for each page. I know from a previous message from Rob that the DeleteOldRevisions.php script a bad way to go and may give unexpected results so I am tackling this directly in SQL. It would appear that deleting all entries in tblrevision EXCEPT the latest (i.e. chronologically latest rev_timestamp) and each of the associated entries in the text table (where revision.rev_text_id=text.old_id) is the way to go. Does this look like it will give me what I am looking for, deleting all revisions/txt except the latest? Is there anything else I need to delete to clean the database? Bearing in mind this site is pre-launch and has nothing other than straight forward textual pages, albeit a lot of them.
