Changing username rules?
by Thomas Fogh 10 Mar '07

10 Mar '07

I did manage to change the code regarding account creation and log-in, but it didn't work for the UserRights page. Could someone help me with that one? (It just says username doesn't exist.) I've changed Title:makeTitle, User:isValidUserName, User:getCanonicalName. /Thomas Fogh

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Multiple wikis sharing single database and same database prefix

Maybe the answer is to somehow use the IP address of the "Private" users to map the page background of the "Public" wiki to a watermarked background that says "Warning: Public wiki". Everyone outside that IP net-block just gets a regular background. Or maybe it's possible to re-map the standard NS_MAIN namespace to the NS_PRIVATE (custom) one. It all sounds like it's getting messy ... Sigh ! Anyone got any other bright ideas ???

Changing username rules?
by Thomas Fogh 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

Hi, I want to change the username rules to allow lowercase & underscores ('_'). I was able to change some code in User.php to allow the creation of an account with the new rules. I'm also able to log-in on the new account, but when I try to change the user rights using SpecialPages:UserRights, it just says the username doesn't exist? Can somehow provide me with a list of all the functions that needs to be changed to fully implement my new rules? Thanks! Best regards, Thomas Fogh PS. As I searched the internet for an answer I saw that the most common change people do to MediaWiki is changing the username rules. Unfortunately all use a very old version of MediaWiki and combine the change with a AuthPlugin using different kinds of databases, so the various modified wikis I found weren't useful for me. Maybe a few options on the username rules when setting up wiki would be helpful to a lot of people...

Bulk import 6500 records into the template namespace
by khuffman＠NGS.ORG 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

Hi, I need advice on how to bulk import 6500 records/articles from Excel into the MediaWiki's Template namespace. I'm using MediaWiki 1.8.x (but may be upgrading/installing a new version for this project, so version may be 1.9.x). It looks like I can convert my Excel sheet to CSV and the two tables I would need to use are PAGE TABLE and TEXT TABLE. My questions are: 1) What do I need to do to massage my data to "fit" the required data for the tables? How do I ensure that I've created the correct "hooks" between the tables. 2) Can I use phpMyAdmin to do this? Thank you, Karen

> Does your forum allow both underscores and spaces? If they type user_1, > you could change it into "User 1" before it strikes the db, and then > -optionally- change spaces into underscores before listing the username. No, only underscores. But I still need the lowercase option. I did manage to change the code regarding account creation and log-in, but it didn't work for the UserRights page. Could someone help me with that one? (It just says username doesn't exist.) I can properly fix the rest of the problems as they rise. (or live with them ;) ) I've changed Title:makeTitle, User:isValidUserName, User:getCanonicalName.

Odd input from file
by Michael Daly 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

I'm trying to fix McNaught's <ImageMap> extension to work with MW1.9.2 and a Wiki family. The input is a file [[Media:World-map.map]] which contains the map information in HTML format. The purpose of the code below is to read the .map file and write it to output. A snippet of the content of the map file looks like: <map name="map"> <AREA SHAPE="POLY" COORDS = "168,117,139,125,120,108,151,104" HREF = "http://kw.org/index.php/Caribbean" TITLE="Caribbean"> </map> The following code taken from imagemap.php is interspersed with comments that show the actual values as found from dumping the info to error.log. The **OK** means it's what I expect. The ***?????*** is what I don't understand. $html = $localParser->parse($MapURL,$wgTitle,$parserOptions); = <p><a href="http://pool.kw.org/images/4/47/World-map.map" class="internal" title="World-map.map">Media:World-map.map</a> </p> **OK** $MapUrl=preg_replace('/^.*<a[\s]+href=*"(.*?)".*$/is','\1',html->mText); = http://pool.kw.org/images/4/47/World-map.map **OK** $mapData = file($MapUrl); = <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"> ***?????*** <html><head> <title>Menu for /images/4/47/World-map.map</title> </head><body> <h1>Menu for /images/4/47/World-map.map</h1> <hr /> <pre> <a href="http://pool.kw.org/images/4/47/name="map">">name="map"> </a></pre> <pre> <a href="http://pool.kw.org/images/4/47/SHAPE="POLY""> SHAPE="POLY"</a></pre> etc. It looks like the file has been preprocessed to generate HTML in some way. Is this normal for file()? Is there a way to tell it to just give me the content of the file? Mike

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

link picker
by John Moorhouse 08 Mar '07

08 Mar '07

In a similar vein to my query about semi-automatic linking I was wondering if any one knows of anything that might do the following. As an editor I create a some wiki text that includes a link such as [[the link page|This is the pretty text]]. What I'm wonder if it would be possible to to is for the editor to just type [[This is the pretty text]] and save the page. The page would display the link in red as an unknown link, and what would seem to be good would to offer the editor when they click on the link a choice of 1. Linking to a current page 2. Creating a new page If the editor chooses 1 they would then be taken to a search page where they could then search for and find the page they want to link to, which would then re-write the link for them as [[the link page|This is the pretty text]] I can't find anything out there but was just wondered ...

Admin User Login
by Morris Hooten - SLS Business Infrastructure 08 Mar '07

08 Mar '07

I'm trying to login as the following user and passwd that are set in the LocalSettings.php file and can't. It complains that the password is incorrect but I'm using the one spelled out in the LocalSettings.php file. I'm also authenticating the user logins to a local LDAP server but I thought i had logged in as the admin user before using LDAP. Any hints? thanks $wgDBuser $wgDBpassword
