InstantCommons demo
by Erik Moeller 08 Mar '07

08 Mar '07

There's a first demo impl of InstantCommons up at: http://141.13.22.239/ic-client/index.php/Main_Page What this does: Allows any MediaWiki installation to transparently load (and cache) images from a central repository like Commons, provided the repository permits it. Ideally, Wikimedia Commons will do so, and any installation in the world will be able to use files from Commons as if they were locally uploaded. The current code is in the instantcommons branch. There are still a few issues and it's not feature-complete yet before it can go to the official review. -- Peace & Love, Erik DISCLAIMER: This message does not represent an official position of the Wikimedia Foundation or its Board of Trustees.

Security - MediaWiki 1.9.2
by Roger Chrisman 08 Mar '07

08 Mar '07

I just had a scare... My LocalSettings.php file *displayed in the browser* at top of any wiki page view! (Actually I only saw it at top of Main_page and top of Search results page before I panicked and reverted the edit in LocalSettings.php that had caused this.) What happened --------------------- In LocalSettings.php I had edited my $wgSpamRegex from this: $wgSpamRegex = "/\<.*style.*?(display|position|overflow|visibility| height)\s*:.*?>/i"; to this which caused this line and all below it in LocalSettings.php to show in browser!: $wgSpamRegex = "/(Tramadol|\<.*style.*?(display|position|overflow| visibility|height)\s*:.*?>)/i"; Both entries were single lines of course; line breaks here for email. Did I screwed up the Regex while adding "(Tramadol|" and ")" to it? Why did the new $wgSpamRegex line and everything below it in LocalSettings.php show up at top of *wiki page views in browser (Konqueror) window*? Luckily my MySQL pw and username are *above* that in LocalSettings.php so they did not get out. I'm running the wiki, http://Wikigogy.org, with default MediaWiki and no extensions on a commercial web host and viewed it from home in Konqueror browser. * MediaWiki: 1.9.2 * PHP: 5.2.1 (cgi) * MySQL: 4.1.21-standard-log I keep LocalSettings.php mode 600 and owned my myself. How did half of it get out? -- Roger Chrisman :-) http://Wikigogy.org - free resources for teachers of English as a second or foreign language

Hi, I've set up a mediawiki where the normal user accounts and anonymous have no acces except for the Main Page en login screen. Now I have the problem that the RSS feed of Recent Changes isn't available for a RSS Reader. Is there a way to get the RSS feed by authenticating with my account details ? Regards, Mopster

Minor edit checkbox does not appear after upgrade
by Hanke Penning 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

Dear experts and users, after upgrading from 1.5.8 to 1.6.10 (yes, I know, it's also outdated, but I'm not using PHP5), there is no check box "only minor edit" anymore. The upgrade itself went surprisingly easy and no problems occurred. I'm just looking for an idea to get that checkbox back, when editing an article. Using the german localisation. In "Specialpages:AllMessages" the messagetext is given. In /languages/MessagesDE.PHP the text for minoredit is given. Any hints for me? Thanks in advance.... Greetings from Germany Hanke Penning

thx for answers I've checked it, but there is only some general info. What I need is to know the exact location of a file when it gets uploaded.

Special:Imagelist Question
by Rowe, Dolores A 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

When I select the "desc" link for an image from the Special:Imagelist page, only a blank page is returned to the browser. This does not happen for all images, it seems to happen only for the bigger ones. Help. How can I fix this behavior ? Dolores

Semi Automated Links
by john Moorhouse 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

We are setting an in house wiki to maintain policy & procedures when a new page is added to the system, it would be nice if there was an easy way for the editors to find all occurrences of the text in the page title and then be able to make these links if they want to. Currently the only way I have found is to manually search then edit each page in turn, we don't want an 'auto link' like camelCase, rather a new link / button on the right hand end of the search results that says 'make this text a link' which would then go off and add the [[ & ]] either side of the text. Does anyone know of an extension / method that would do this. Thanks John -----------------------------------------
