Replacing / Changing Page Editor
by Derek B 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hi Everybody, I have setup the most recent version of mediawiki on my own single server for a small group project (1,600 people). After setting up Apache, MySQL, and mediawiki, I was crestfallen. There seems to be absolutely no way to change the page editor into a WYSIWYG editor. Most of the people invovled in this project only have enough patience (myself included) to edit and build through a GUI that doesn't require manual coding of the material. Does anyone know of a more user-friendly wiki, or of a way to accomplish this with mediawiki? Thank you in advance! --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?

MoinMoin to Mediawiki conversion - state of the hack
by David Gerard 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Having just set up the very shiny new Mediawiki wikifarm on our intranet, my boss keeps mentioning that converting the existing MoinMoin wiki would be *very nice thank you*. Now then, there are two approaches: 1. Adapt an existing script. * mm2mw.pl is at http://www.littlejohnconsulting.com/node/18 - this is what Wikia recommends for people wanting to move a Moin wiki to Wikia. * moin2media is a Python script done by the Linux Foundation for in-house use - http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Old_LSB_Wiki . Has anyone here used either of these? How did they do? Did they pull in histories? (We can live without histories but we'd rather not.) 2. Roll our own. * We could adapt one of the above or write a new direct converter from scratch - a simple if laborious matter of programming. * Moin includes export to DocBook (of varying quality) and there's a DocBook to Mediawiki converter (of varying quality). This is likely to resemble work, however. * I'm not even going to attempt to keep histories if we do this. 3. Importing the resulting wikitext or XML. Is there an easy batch-importer? - d.

Hello, is the Apache HTTP server needed for installation and/or using the MediaWiki on a local computer? Cannot I use another server? Thank you for answer. -MGrabovsky

Hi Katharina, Thank you! - Although, the extension you have refered to seems to be for "buttonizing" this functionality via the editor, It did point me to a mediawiki FAQ (see the link below) on how to achive my original goal by making only a small change to the LocalSettings.php file. ... I owe ya one :-) http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ#Is_it_somehow_possible_to_use_… - Rich (revansx) ----- Original Message ---- From: Katharina Wolkwitz <wolkwitz(a)fh-swf.de> To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Sent: Monday, December 10, 2007 3:07:25 AM Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Links to File System > Hi Rich, Hi Mike, > have a look at http://assela.pathirana.net/File_Link_Extension ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Hi, how can I delete a registered user? I tried using Special:Listusers but I can't see any option available. Do I have to delete the user over MySQL? I have only access to PhpMyAdmin. How do I do that? Thanks in advance! Zelula

I use a similar extension, but it does not allow me to re-write the displayed link text. For example, I would love it if I could write: <file text="Link Description">\\server\filename.ext</file> and it would render equivalent to: <a href="file:///\\server\filename.ext">My Description</a> Does your extension work this way? Does anyone know of an extention of this type that works that way? cheers. - Rich (revansx) ----- Original Message ---- From: L.M.J <linuxmasterjedi(a)free.fr> To: mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Sent: Friday, December 7, 2007 11:25:54 AM Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Links to File System Le Thu, 6 Dec 2007 23:56:03 +0000, Mike Lane <mikelane5(a)msn.com> a écrit : > I use a mediawiki extension called Link and I can link to shared folders and files with spaces in the > names, for example: > <link>\\server\share\this file.doc</link> Where we could find it ? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

How to add XMPP links URI ?
by Peter Flindt 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

Hello, how I can add XMPP URI? I found this one: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgUrlProtocols I guess add the "$wgUrlProtocols = array( ..." entry to the LocalSettings.php is the correct way, but how can assign the speech bubble from irc:// to xmpp:// too? Peter
