Email notification with per-edit raw diffs
by Christian Kreibich 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hi there, I'm looking for an email notification solution for page updates. I'm aware of the included enotif, but it is unsuitable for our needs for various reasons: - I don't care about the changes since I've last visited the page, I want to see all incremental changes from version to version. - I want notifications to be continuous, not one-off until I next visit the page. - I'd like a raw wikitext diff of the most recent change included in each email. In short, I'm looking for something that is closer to commit messages when using revision systems like SVN or CVS. Since unfortunately the time I can spend on this is limited, I'd like to ask whether anyone has hacked up similar functionality? Cheers, Christian. -- ________________________________________________________________________ http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~cpk25 http://www.whoop.org

shoutbox extension
by Frederik Dohr 13 Mar '07

13 Mar '07

Hello guys, I think it might be helpful to have a very simple chat module on our corporate wiki. A shoutbox might be a good thing here, as it wouldn't require any additional plug-ins. However, I couldn't find any such extension. Does anyone know whether something like this is in development? Or maybe we could use a non-MW-related module for this? Thanks in advance! -- Frederik

wiki markup in templates
by Frederich, Eric P21322 08 Mar '07

08 Mar '07

Hello, I created a template called "Box Blue" as follows... {|style="border-spacing:8px;margin: 1em auto 1em .5em; width: auto;" | style="width:100%;border:1px solid #cedff2;background-color:#f5faff;vertical-align:top;color:#000"| {| width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5" style="vertical-align:top;background-color:#f5faff;color:#000" ! <div style="margin:0;background-color:#cedff2;border:1px solid #a3b1bf;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;"> {{{1}}} </div> |- |style="color:#000"| {{{2}}} |- |} |} ... But I can't figure out a way to use it with headings. I want to do something like this... {{Box Blue| === Some Heading === | * Some ** Stuff }} I can get most wiki markup inside there except for the === headings ===. The thing is, if I don't use a template and were to paste "=== Some Heading ===" in place of {{{1}}} it would work fine and make its way into the table of contents and everything. Is this a bug, not supported, or supported in a later version than I am running? I am using MediaWiki 1.7.1 Thanks, ~Eric

Updating the table "redirect" on demand?
by Rolf Lampa 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

Hi all, I notice that 1.9.2 added a new table "redirect", which is populated during upgrade / reinstall. Now, how do I update the redirect table on demand? (to do so would, I presume, be recommended after importing new data into the "big three" tables page,revision,text). Or, how important is it to keep the redirect table up to date? Regards, // Rolf Lampa

Uploading new images sets mime type to application/x-archive and dimensions to 0x0
by Thomas 04 Mar '07

After opgrading to php 5 my imageupload wont work. The MIME type is set to application/x-archive and the height width to 0x0. If I change these settings manually in the database it works fine. Any solutions ? MediaWiki: 1.9.3 PHP: 5.2.1 (apache2handler) MySQL: 4.0.17-log

Remove Main Page Title
by Richard Kurz 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hi, I just upgraded from 1.5 to 1.9.2, and I can't remove the words "Main Page" from the home page as I could in the last version. Previously, on this mailing list, the following instructions were given to remove that title: In monobook.php change : <h1 class="firstHeading"><?php $this->text('title') ?></h1> into <?php if($this->haveData('title') != wfMsgForContent('mainpage')){ ?> <h1 class="firstHeading"><?php $this->text('title') ?></h1> <?php } ?> In 1.9.2, the MonoBook.php file looks a bit different, and I'm hoping someone can help make a similar hack for this newest version. Again, I'd only like to remove the page title for the Main Page, but no others. The code in MonoBook.php is listed below: <h1 class="firstHeading"><?php $this->data['displaytitle']!=""?$this->html('title'):$this->text('title') ?></h1> Thanks for any help! -Rich

How to customize the page title display
by Fernando Correia 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

What is the best place to customize the way page titles are displayed? I'd like to customize the page title on the main article view, and also on the page listing within a category. The reason is that we have several pages with conflicting names like "Person form (This client)" and "Person form (That client)" and we'd like to show just "Person form". The full page title will remain effective, used in link and listings like Search and Recent changes. But it would be confusing for users of "This client" if all pages related to them were shown with "This client" appended. I wonder if anyone already solved this... Any hint will be appreciated.

Like Skin? MediaWiki Developer Needed
by Odell 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

I am looking for someone to skin our MediaWiki to look like our sitewide template as well as possibly create some custom extensions. I have created the PSD mockups as well as XHTML/CSS templates. You can see our wiki at www.babypips.com/forexpedia. I wish for it to use the same template as www.babypips.com/school/ and www.babypips.com/blogs/.

Forcing Category updates?
by Joe Keenan 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

I imported a large number of pages into a MediWiki 1.6.9 installation (custom script that generated an XML file). All of these pages use a {{Template}} that generates multiple [[Category:XXXX]] tags. The Category:XXX pages don't show all the pages in the category, unless I edit and save each page individual. I guess whatever code that inserts the Category links doesn't run on import, only on edit. Is there any way to do a mass update of all pages to update all the category links? I tried running several of the scripts in the /maintenance directory, but none of them seemed to have any effect. In fact, none of them seemed to do anything at all (returned immediately), so that's probably an entirely different problem. joe

"jump to" navigation and "From ...."
by Tim Ware 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

Since upgrading to 1.9.3, I have this new stuff on the top of every page. First, under the page title (and unfortunately, the home page is back to "Main Page" after I had fixed that in an earlier version!), there is: From [wiki name] Jump to: navigation, search How do I get rid of that extra stuff? Thanks! Tim
