DPL, Thumbnails and image resizing
by Giuseppe Briotti 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Hi all, I need some hints about this problem: I need to create a gallery with images from a category. First I started with this piece of code: {{#dpl: |category = {{{categoria}}} |namespace = Image |mode = userformat |format = «gallery»,%PAGE%¦%TITLE%\n,,«/gallery» |noresultsheader = No image in this category. }} But the result is not so good, as you can see here: http://www.usnb.it/wiki/index.php?title=Materiale_di_Supporto:Gli_Stemmi_de… all the coats of arms are in the same size, but the pictures differs because there are different crowns. The resizing in thumbnails is not so good.... and it seems that it is not possible to passing a template to <gallery> for image rendering. Thus I adopted this solution: {{#dpl: |category = Stemmi dei Casati |namespace = Immagine |mode = userformat |format = «table border="1"»«tr»,«td valign=bottom»²{ImagePerc¦immagine=%TITLE%¦larghezza=100¦descrizione=%TITLE%}² ,«/td»²{#if: ²{#pos:%NR%¦0}² ¦ «/tr»«tr» ¦ }²,«/tr»«/table» |noresultsheader = Nessuna immagine in questa categoria, per il momento. }} ImagePerc is a template able to resizing an image both by percentage and pixel width: [[Image:{{{immagine}}}|{{ #if:{{#pos:{{{larghezza|100}}}|px}}|{{{larghezza|100}}}| {{#expr: ({{#imgw: {{{immagine}}} }} * {{{larghezza|100}}}) / 100 }}px }}|{{{descrizione|}}}]] #imgw is a parser function able to retrieve the width of the given image. The result seem better, but the </tr><tr> are rendered as string and not tags, despite the DPL escape characters adopted. http://www.usnb.it/wiki/index.php?title=Template:CategoryGallery2 Any hints?

23 Nov '07

Hi, I just installed my MW and try up to customize the interface (remove logo etc). I opened my LocalSettings file and added few new lines, but file cannot be saved and no changes took place. I contacted my host but they couldn't suggest anything. Any clue to fix this problem? Thanks in advance for your help and time. Dimitar

confirmation email from=<apache@server.localdomain> - where to change it?
by Tomasz Chmielewski 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Whenever someone registers as a user in the wiki and provides an email address, he/she is sent an email. However, by default it is sent with this from field: apache(a)server.localdomain - obviously, the other side will never accept an email from an non existing domain. Where can I change this "from" address for emails sent by MediaWiki? I would like to avoid address rewriting done by the mail server. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://lists.wpkg.org

Image link to external resources
by Zelula X 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Hi, After inserting an image in the text, by clicking on that image it takes me to the image itself, but I would like to indicate an external URL when clicking on the image. Is that possible? Example: by clicking on the image, it should take me to an external forum (not to the image itself as an article). Thanks in advance! Zelula

Subtle bug with combination of "bullet lists" and "definition lists"
by Wiki 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

I've found a subtle bug with combination of "bullet lists" and "definition lists". Consider the wikitext below: *; Item 1 : description for item 1 *; Item 2 : description for item 2 The rendered HTML is that the second definition has no bullet before it. There are two workaround: 1. Putting one line between them *; Item 1 : description for item 1 *; Item 2 : description for item 2 2. Separate definition and description on two lines: *; Item 1 : description for item 1 *; Item 2 : description for item 2 But #1 and #2 have different rendered aspects! Of course, there's also the trivial workaround of using triple-single-quotes ('''Item 1''') and shift the second line inwards. But this is that terrific! Anyway, this bug is very subtle. Have a nice day

by Derrick Farnell 22 Nov '07

22 Nov '07

Hi I have a template on my wiki which contains instructions/rules for contributing to talk pages, and which I manually place at the top of talk pages. Is there a way for this template to be automatically inserted at the top of every talk page, even talk pages which have no content? I've been unable to find an extension to do this. Derrick

Guestbook extension crapped out after upgrading Apache2 & PHP%

22 Nov '07

I recently upgraded my site software and the entire system was foobarred. I got all the kinks out finally except this one. When someone clicks on the guestbook link: http://www.physicswiki.net/index.php/Special:Guestbook the page displays this: > * @copyright © 2006 Tino Reichardt */ if (!defined('MEDIAWIKI')) die(); > $msg = array( # fields of the form 'f_name' => "name", 'f_origin' => > "origin", 'f_ip' => "ip", 'f_browser' => "browser", 'f_email' => "email", > 'f_homepage' => "homepage", 'f_captcha' => "captcha", 'f_entry' => "entry", > 'f_ip' => "ip", 'f_browser' => "browser", # buttons 'b_submit' => "submit", > 'b_reply' => "reply", 'b_change' => "change", 'b_delete' => "delete", > 'b_reset' => "reset", # misc 'headline' => "Guestbook", 'hl_create' => > "Creating a new entry:", 'hl_modify' => "Modifying an entry:", 'new_entry' > => "Welcome in this guestbook.

I use text mode for the quote since you may need to be able to read the text on the page in the order it is loaded. If you want to see the actual page try the link above; This was working fine until the upgrade. I already tried deleting the entire guestbook extension and reinstalling it. Any suggestions are much appreciated. -- John W. Foster

how to create customised edit toolbar buttons?
by Derrick Farnell 22 Nov '07

22 Nov '07

Hi I'd like users of my wiki (www.chainsofreason.org) to be able to add a particular chunk of wikitext to a page by simply clicking on a button in the edit page toolbar, but have been unable to find a suitable extension. Is there some relatively easy way to achieve this? I don't have any programming knowledge. Derrick Chains of Reason www.chainsofreason.org
