Problem with TZ settings
by Simon Renshaw 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

Hi, Currently using version 1.9.1 and I'm having some problems getting the correct TZ, in my cast EST. With 1.8, I put $wgLocalTZoffset in LocalSettings and that worked. I looked on Mediawiki's site in the config section and it look like I need to put $wgLocaltimezone = 'EST'; in LocalSettings. But even after that, when I edit a page the time shown is not correct. For example, I edited a page at 10:50 this morning and it shows as 15:50 in the history page. What should I change to fix it? Thanks! Simon

StableVersion extension problem
by John Moorhouse 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

Pranav, did you get any solution to this as I've also hit the same problem with PHP 5.1.6 although I upgraded to 5.2.0 and now the error I'm getting is *Catchable fatal error*: Object of class ParserOutput could not be converted to string in *C:\Program Files\VertrigoServ\www\wiki_2_policy\includes\Parser.php* on line *2779 A general query on this is: I'm in a bit of a quandary as there has been comment on the lists that an official version / variation of StableVersions as part of the next release MW1.10, and if it works in a different way then it might be better to wait for this rather than try to get the extension going, is there any further info on this in 1.10?

by Daniel von Garrel 01 Feb '07

Hello. I want to update a mediawiki from version 1.4.5 to 1.9. The upgrade script "upgrade1_5.php" to convert the database to utf fails with message: Warning: fopen(maintenance/archives/patch-interwiki-trans.sql): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/mediawiki/includes/Database.php on line 1959 Could not open "maintenance/archives/patch-interwiki-trans.sql". I've tried also to update to version 1.5.8. Here the "deutsche Umlaute" are shown as question marks. Thanks Daniel von Garrel

Hello everybody, I have "inherited" a wiki project running MediaWiki:1.6.5 (cgi-fcgi) PHP:5.1.4 MySQL:4.1.14-nt at my working place (I am a working student at SAP), and was wondering: 1) if there is anything similar to webs in Twiki, maybe an extension, or is it necessary to install another wiki, in order to get this functionality? 2) In our Wiki it is not possible to upload files of type pdf, ppt, xls or doc, but I read in this list, that it is possible (e.g Arne Bittig: Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Problem uploading certain files (blank upload form) How can these be enabled? Does this depend on the version, an extension, ...??? 3) Would you recommend us, to upgrade it to the latest version? 4) Is it possible, to login to it via Single Sign On? Does anybody know an Extension for this? 5) Is there anything special, I have to put attention over (Appart from Recent Changes)???

MW Statistic error count or missing article?
by Laibeus Lord 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

Hi, I'm new here and new to MediaWiki, so greetings to all, I'm JC, from the Philippines. Anyway, just noticed after copying a template-DB for MediaWiki that after importing it to a fresh MW installation, the - [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] - is showing " 1 article " to be existing. My problem is, there is supposed to be no article. If I checked it out, the article is non-existent. Also, if I compared everything from my template-DB, everything is correct and exact. Did I do something wrong somewhere? Coz from my template-DB for MW, the stats shows 0 article, but when importing to a fresh MW installation, it shows there's 1 article already. Btw, when I exported the template-DB, I included "DROP table if exists" to be sure there's an exact clean copy of the imported template-DB. Not that it matters much, but it just kinda, well, you know... there's "1" non-existent article/mis-count. ^_^ Thank you very much. Regards, JCuneta.

special characters in custom namespaces
by Nino Novak 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

Hello, in spanish the term "discussion" is translated "discusión" (with ó). Now how to set up a custom namespace called "ES_Discusión" in an international (utf-8) wiki? If following the description from Help:Custom namespaces (from meta) and coding it as html "ó" it is displayed as is - and if coding it in iso-8859, it is displayed with the small black questionmark rhomb - which is normal behavior in utf-8. The meta instruction says "Do not save LocalSettings.php as Unicode, because PHP cannot handle it" - so is there any possibility to get things done? (for php reasons we still use mediawiki 1.6.8 /php 4.3.3) Nino

In short, how might I make it so that links to categories are active if there are any links in the categories, regardless of whether there is content in the pages? Thanks!
