Per the following link: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Apache_configuration#PHP_as_Apache_Module It states: "Be sure to enable mod_php in the directory that contains the MediaWiki scripts" Does anyone know how to explicitly do this?

Template:Endflatlist
by Fred Bauder 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

Template:Endflatlist is a very simple template. It consist of </div> which is the closing tag for Template:Flatlist which has this content: <div class="horizontal"> Look at how it displays on Wikinfo: http://wikinfo.org/index.php/Template:Endflatlist and on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Endflatlist I'm sure there is a very simple explanation, but what is it? I should add that the templates don't work as you may see from the respective talk pages on Wikinfo. Fred

Problem with DPL and Contributors extensions
by Jack Eapen C 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

Hi, I'm using Contributors extension with a modification-instead of displaying the "Main contributors" link in the tool box, I use it to display the link as a new tab. For that, I added $wgHooks['SkinTemplateTabs'][] = 'efContributorsNavigation'; to Contributors.php and commented out // $wgHooks['MonoBookTemplateToolboxEnd'][] = 'efContributorsToolbox'; It's working fine. But today I tried a page with DPL syntax. But that page gives an error message: "Warning:Missing argument 3 for efContributorsNavigation() in wiki/extensions/Contributors/Contributors.php on line 64 " "Warning:Missing argument 4 for efContributorsNavigation() in wiki/extensions/Contributors/Contributors.php on line 64 " The DPL query is executed correctly and the results are displayed. But whenever that page is loaded, a java script error message "object error" comes and I need to click the OK button to display the page. That page has the above mentioned error messages on top. I suppose that the Contributors extension works only for the main namespace. So I tried it on a custom namespace and got the same problem Any help, plz Regards, Jack Eapen C SunTec Knowledge Centre ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ "Try and fail, but don't fail to try" This electronic mail (including any attachment thereto) may be confidential and privileged and is intended only for the individual or entity named above.

I have a mediawiki based resourced that needs a full text search engine. Google will not work as it is not yet a public resource. Anyone have any recommendations? This is intended to be used at an academic institution. Thanks, jnowacki

Default Category Sort
by Tim Doyle 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

My wiki has many pages located in namespaces other than Main. When viewing category pages, I would like these pages to be sorted by the name of the page, excluding the namespace. I know that this can be done by adding {{PAGENAME}} as the optional sort parameter on the category call, but this would require me to add this to many categories on thousands of pages, and also make sure that every category added to these pages in the future is done properly. I'm envisioning a parameter that can be added to localsettings to change this behavior - something like $wgUseNamespaceInCategorySort = false; This would be set once for the wiki. This should be fairly easy to implement - just check the variable in the location where the category page is rendered. Does something like this currently exist? If not, how would I suggest that it be added? Thank you! Tim Doyle

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Template to display contributors
by Jack Eapen C 05 Dec '07

Thanks for this hint........... I wonder what all such features are hidden in Mediawiki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't try to change the skin. Will do that soon Regards, Jack ---------------------------------------------------------------- "Try and fail, but don't fail to try" -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Lonny Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2007 8:10 AM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Template to display contributors Hi Jack, I believe you get credits to show up by editing the DefaultSettings.php in the includes directory. Edit the following: *$wgMaxCredits = 0; * a *-1* shows all, a *0 *hides it, and *any other number* sets the maximum credits to show. Some caveats: 1. This can slow down your site. 2. This uses the authors real name (if they inputed it) instead of their handle. 3. It shows up on the bottom (See the footer at http://www.appropedia.org/for an example). ---- I think that you could edit the skin to have that part of the footer show up as a infobox on the side. Good luck, I would love to hear how it goes, Lonny On Nov 26, 2007 4:21 AM, Snowolf <snowolf(a)snowolf.eu> wrote: > Jack Eapen C wrote: > > > > Hi all, > > > > as a rewarding mechanism, i want to display the contributor names of > > each article in an infobox on the right side of the article page. > > How can i create a template for this?

Collaborative Translation wiki?
by Kent S. Larsen II 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Has anyone set up a wiki for making collaborative translations from one language to another? Ideally, I'd like something like traduwiki.org, but I'd prefer something based on MediaWiki instead of pmWiki that traduwiki is based on. It is trivial to set up a wiki with the text to be translated on one page, and the result on another (or on a subpage). The difficulty comes when the source and result are side by side. I have seen one solution -- putting the source document into the page as an image. But this is also less than ideal, IMO. Does anyone have suggestions for how to set this up, or know of extensions that would be useful for this? Kent

table templates behaving differently in IE?
by Herta Van den Eynde 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

I have a template looking like this: {| border="1" cellpadding="2" |- |+ '''{{{rack_name| }}}''' |- ! slot !! name !! contact !! customer !! comment |- | 47 || {{{47-name|-}}} || {{{47-contact| }}} || {{{47-customer| }}} || {{{47-comment| }}} |- | 46 || {{{46-name|-}}} || {{{46-contact| }}} || {{{46-customer| }}} || {{{46-comment| }}} |- | 45 || {{{45-name|-}}} || {{{45-contact| }}} || {{{45-customer| }}} || {{{45-comment| }}} |- | 44 || {{{44-name|-}}} || {{{44-contact| }}} || {{{44-customer| }}} || {{{44-comment| }}} |- | 43 || {{{43-name|-}}} || {{{43-contact| }}} || {{{43-customer| }}} || {{{43-comment| }}} |- | 42 || {{{42-name|-}}} || {{{42-contact| }}} || {{{42-customer| }}} || {{{42-comment| }}} |- | 41 || {{{41-name|-}}} || {{{41-contact| }}} || {{{41-customer| }}} || {{{41-comment| }}} |- | 40 || {{{40-name|-}}} || {{{40-contact| }}} || {{{40-customer| }}} || {{{40-comment| }}} |- |} Which is being called like this: {{DC Rack | 43-name=[[HW_SWCAR52|SWCAR52]] | 43-contact=[[DC_People#Erik_Vandenbergh|Erik Vandenbergh]] | 43-comment=BGC Belbone internal }} When I display this in Firefox or Konqueror, all table cells are displayed. When I display this in Internet Explorer (both 6 and 7), only cells with values different from a space are displayed. Is there a solution/workaround for this problem? Kind regards, Herta
