Etiqueta widget para mediawiki
by Miriam Moscoso 17 Nov '07

17 Nov '07

Hola a todos, llevo unos días intentando incrustar unos scripts sacados de los linkrolls de del.icio.us dentro de un artículo en una instalación local de mediawiki (1.10.0). He hecho la prueba en un scratchpad de wikia y admite el script dentro de la etiqueta <widget>, visualizándose sin problemas. En mi instalación, he seguido las instrucciones que he visto en hexten.org, pero aunque podría usar la opción de incrustar los linkrolls de del.icio.us a través de un gadget de google, lo he probado y no me gusta el resultado: los gadgets que hay disponibles no permiten filtrar las listas de enlaces por etiquetas, que es justo lo que me interesa. La cuestión es: las instrucciones que dan en hexten.org permiten incrustar estos scripts de esta forma: <widget script /> pero para eso hay que reestructurar el código que obtengo del gagdet de google, y además no permite el filtro. En cambio en wikia incrusto tal cual el script que me da del.icio.us de esta otra forma: <widget> script </widget> y todo va perfecto. ¿Qué extensión tengo que meter en mi instalación de mediawiki para que esto funcione igual que en wikia? ¡Estoy muy interesada en la respuesta! ¡Gracias por adelantado! Miriam

Hello folks. I have to create a list which content-type fits to be saved in a wiki. Currently I thought of unstructured content like knowledge and collaborative informations that all users can access. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Alex

Mediawiki ease of use
by Paul Coghlan 16 Nov '07

16 Nov '07

I received some feedback this evening from a focus group that has been evaluating our wiki complete with custom skin. An overriding comment was that the ability to insert content needed to be easier. Wiki markup, edit screens etc were turn offs. Our target audience is over 40 so it is somewhat understandable. Has anyone come across extensions that fit into this category? Something that allows someone to more easily enter information, create inter-page links, format text etc. I suspect this might result in a few custom extensions but wanted to test the waters before embarking on a needless journey. I might be back looking for experienced extension developers that can help us!! Many thanks, Paul

New user email confirmation
by Ralph Hulslander 16 Nov '07

16 Nov '07

I am new to mediawiki. I finally got PHP email working (Windows, Apache etc.) how was I to know the "true" php.ini is in the Apache/bin folder. Anyway php email works now I am trying to have a confirming email sent to a new signup. Here is the strange error I am seeing: Could not send confirmation mail. Check address for invalid characters. Mailer returned: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for '-5.0/no DST' instead Please use . where? why? what? Thanks for the help. Ralph

AuthPlugins and Overwriting Preferences
by Michael B Allen 16 Nov '07

16 Nov '07

Hi, When AuthPlugin::updateUser() is called I would think that the preferences that have not changed would be left unchanged in the local MW DB but that is not the case. Here's my code: function updateUser( &$user ) { if (is_array($this->acct)) { $user->setOption('nickname', $username); if (isset($this->acct['displayName'])) $user->setRealName($this->acct['displayName']); if (isset($this->acct['mail'])) $user->setEmail($this->acct['mail']); $user->setPassword(NULL); $user->saveSettings(); return true; } return false; } It seems that even though only the nickname, real name and email address are updated, all other preferences are reset. How am I supposed to update only a few fields without wrecking the prefs? From looking at LdapAuthenticate.php it's not clear to me that it handles this situation any differently. Also, when trying to update preferences, if AuthPlugin::updateExternalDB() returns false an error is displayed: "There was either an external authentication database error or you are not allowed to update your external account." Why does this error occur? I do not want to store preferences externally. Why does MW not store preferences locally regardless of what updateExternalDB returns? Thanks for any help, Mike -- Michael B Allen PHP Active Directory SPNEGO SSO http://www.ioplex.com/

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Mediawiki ease of use

Dan, thanks for the info. One of the main obstacles to staff and faculty here using MediaWiki has been the "difficulty" of learning basic wikitalk. There are only 10 "tags" or so they have to learn to get almost complete functionality, but even that is too complex for some individuals. They see something like PBWiki's visual "Point and Click" mode, and want to use something like that. I know comparing PBWiki to MediaWiki is comparing apples to oranges, and there are many factors affecting the decision of choosing the best wiki for the job at hand, not just a visual editor. I am not asking a leopard to change its spots, either. But ease of editing is a large factor in choosing a wiki in some situations. I love MediaWiki, but sometimes it's a tough sell. Appreciate the response.

See this page in other languages links...
by Paul Coghlan 16 Nov '07

16 Nov '07

So I am looking at the Other Languages¹ in Wikipedia and would like to include this functionality in our own wiki. Like Wikipedia we are running multiple sub domains...www.domain.com, es.domain.com, it.domain.com etc. We have multiple MW installations and there will be certain pages appearing in more than one of the wikis. Is this functionality a feature, some code, a tag? If it is possible to make it an automatic link it would be perfect. So, a page entitles XYZ in the EN wiki would have Other Languages¹ links if and only if a page of the same name existed in other language wikis. Any help appreciated. Paul

widget tags in mediawiki
by Miriam Moscoso 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

Hi you all, in English this time. :-) I've been trying to embed some scripts to add linkrolls from del.icio.us inside an article in a local installation of Mediawiki (1.10.0). I've tested it in a scratchpad of Wikia, using the tags <widget> </widget>, and it runs ok. In my installation, I followed the instructions detailed in hexten.org and used the option of googlegadget widget, but the google gadgets I found for del.icio.us don't allow filtering tags, which is what I want. The point is: following hexten.org, I embed the code like this: <widget code />, but I have to restructure the code and not simply cut and paste from the script of del.icio.us. Instead in Wikia, I can cut&paste the script like this <widget> script </widget>. What extension do I have to add to my installation of mediawiki to embed scripts from del.icio.us like I do in Wikia? Thanks in advance! Miriam
