Re: [Mediawiki-l] Checking whether a page existing or not

Hmm.. Unluckily I'm not a programmer. I thought my requirement is simple. In my extension I want to display the output of a function only while editing existing pages. Something like If ($articleId !=" ") { Myfunction } I suppose if the currently editing page is a new one, it still don't hv an ID 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 Platonides Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 2:45 AM To: mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Checking whether a page existing or not Jack Eapen C wrote: > > Thanks.

You can call it from $wgParser->getArticleID() but *it's not guaranteed to work*. You should use the parser object which is being passed to your extension. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l This electronic mail (including any attachment thereto) may be confidential and privileged and is intended only for the individual or entity named above.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Links to files

I read these, and as mentioned applied the suggested Firefox Add On found at the link on "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_Issues_:_Links_to_Local_Pages_Don't _Work". My point is that I don't think it is this. As I mentioned in my follow up post, I did cut out the link from the Wiki source and embed it in a test HTM page and Firefox worked fine opening the local resource. It seems that local links only fail to work in Wiki pages now.

Migration from Windows to Linux
by Emanuele D'Arrigo 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

Hi everybody, a SysAdmin in my company has attempted to migrate our Mediawiki installation from a Windows server to a Linux one, but discrepancies are arising between the contents of the two. Specifically, while many pages work just fine, hinting to a mostly working installation, but many other pages result into blank browsers, no matter if they should have been carried over as normal by the MySQL-dump that has been used to transfer the DB. The only difference I can think of between the failing pages and those that work is that the former had been originally generated via XML imports and transclude subpages. (*) Is this something that could represent a problem? And is there a page on mediawiki.org that I could recommend to our SysAdmin to go through? Thank you in advance. Manu (*) The rationale behind this was to use the XML import function to procedurally generate the subpages while the users retain the capability to edit the bits of the actual page that do not rely on transclusion of the subpages.

Enabling "open" of certain mime types when using [[Media:trash.doc]] syntax
by Pond, Jack 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

I would like the option to "open" a downloaded file (for example a .doc file) instead of download then open. For example syntax [[media.trash.doc]] I'm using img_auth which eventually uses mimemagic.php. While the type of the image file is properly displayed on the Image:trash.doc page, wiki (application/msword), when the download starts, I get a "type: Unknown File Type" in the download panel. Suspect this occurs in mimemagic.php and may be correctable through the appropriate modification of mime.types and/or mime.info, but frankly I'm baffled. Any ideas (other than "MediaWiki is not a Content Management System . . .") Jack "Stress is just another word for knowledge" -- Scott Adams
