Open page by ID
by Fernando Correia 05 Feb '07

Does MediaWiki have a built-in way to allow the user to open a page in the browser by specifying its ID instead of its title? E.g. http://server/wiki/index.php?id=3829

MediaWiki and MySQL 5 ??
by Martin Mrazek 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hello, is there any easy way how to install MW with MySLQ 5 (not 4)? By "an easy way" I mean "no editation of SQL scripts which use features specific for MySQL 4 which are not available in MySQL 5 (like option default by blob types etc.). Once I did all these changes to run MW under MySQL 5 on my personal PC, but I forgot what I did and now I need to instruct my Internet server provider, how to make MW working if there is MySQL 5 on the server... MM

Re: [Mediawiki-l] MW 1.9.1 - Version page blank?
by Niedziela, Jennifer 05 Feb '07

I found that the error was an umlaut in the name of the author under the extension credits (I had installed the LoopFunctions extension by Carl Fürstenberg). I don't know why this made the Version page blank. Thanks, Jen did you install the google map extension, I noticed that enabling it makes your version page blank. didn't check it in deep detail though as I don't need the extension on my site. cheers, Peter On 2/2/07, Niedziela, Jennifer <niedziela(a)bnl.gov> wrote: > > When I navigate to the Special:Version page of my wiki, it appears as > though the page is entirely empty.

When I navigate to the Special:Version page of my wiki, it appears as though the page is entirely empty. All of the other special pages appear as expected. Any ideas? Jen

2 wiki's pointing to the same database..

Hi, I was just wondering, instead of upgrading my existing wiki to the new version, can I install another one fresh and then point it to the same DB? Would this work? - thanks - AJ

parser functions and tags interoperability
by Ittay Dror 04 Feb '07

04 Feb '07

Hi, I'm trying to write code that uses tags to manipulate some data and then parser functions to retrieve the result. my page looks something like: <my-tag> data </my-tag> {{#my-function:}} my problem is that 'my-function' is called before 'my-tag' (as seen in the debug log). is there a way to make evaluation follow the order of elements in the page? thanks, ittay -- =================================== Ittay Dror, Chief architect, R&D, Qlusters Inc. ittayd(a)qlusters.com +972-3-6081994 Fax: +972-3-6081841 www.openqrm.org - Data Center Provisioning

API for posting to hosted wiki, how to?
by Rolf Lampa 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Hi all, Seemingly there is no support for posting new articles via api.php (yet). Too bad Yurik got stuck on EditPage.php, it seems to be a "hairy ball" to swallow to fix that piece of code, especially for a newbie on both MediaWiki and PHP like me. Hopefully someone is working on it though. In the mean time, what would be the simplest way to enable api-like posting on a hosted server? I noticed that there's some sort of support for external browsers which transfers data from local disk into the browser form and then submits the text, but how was that done "under the hood"? At first I only need a "quick and dirty" way to post on my own (hosted) wikis. I would also have some use for a temp solution for use on my local network machines (having a web of wikis to shuffle stuff between). All suggestions are welcome. Regards, // Rolf Lampa PS: Btw, has the development on the "official api" stalled? (I really would if I could, but cleaning up EditPage.php isn't exactly a "starter"...).

need special permissions for polling Wikipedia api?
by Rolf Lampa 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Hi, Does it take any special permissions to poll the Wikipedias for recent changes every five minutes or so? I mean, in the long run my IP address would show up in statistics somewhere and then... what? "Abuse"? Or is it OK to just keep the queries somewhat small (like 5 minute intervals for recentChanges etc)? Are there possibly any mirror sites (with separate dedicated addresses for replicas) for providing services like this? Regards, // Rolf Lampa
