Searching all history?
by Niedziela, Jennifer 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

In our wiki use, being able to conduct a full search of *all* history might prove quite useful, even if conducting such a search would take some time. Is there any way to implement this in a current or future MW release? Jen

location of images
by aretai aretai 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

Hi, Just a small problem. I'm trying to create a script that'll export the wiki pages (sth similar to Special:Export), there is one problem because of the images. When using Special:Export we get a content with a [[Image:imagefile.imageextension]] I'd like to have a link to an image located on my host instead. All images are stored in the images directory within wiki. Below are some subdirectories: d, f, etc. Is there any rule where is given image placed while being uploaded? Regards, Aretai

BPMN 2 Image Convertor (Previously posted in gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical)
by Paul van Erk 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

Hi guys, I previously posted this message on gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical so I am sorry if you are reading this post for the second time. I hope someone on this mailinglist can help me. The idea is an user can upload a *.bpmn file to a wike. The Business Process Modelling Notation is a notation to model business processes. At the end of the post I have included links to some examples and the XML-specification of the BPMN. After the post an extension converts the file automatically to a (thumbnail )image format which can be displayed on the page, you can do for example the same with images (ImageMagick; http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-tools.php). Every time somebody uploads a new *.bpmn file, the new file should be shown as a thumbnail. So the idea a user can download a process from the Wiki, make some adjustments in the process (with a local BPMN-editor) and upload the new process to the wiki. Is there an extension or application available which can take care of this. Of course it would be even better to have an online BPMN-file editor but I guess that's one bridge too far for now. Thanks!

Imagemap problems
by Michael Daly 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

I upgraded from MW 1.6.3 to 1.9.2 and image maps no longer work. I was using the version from Shannon McNaught (SM) (one of the examples on the chekmate.org imagemap page is from my wiki - Shannon helped sort out some problems with imagemap on my wiki). However, it no longer functions. I looked at the Meta page on imagemaps and saw a link to a 1.9 compatible version of imagemap by Tim Starling (TS). This one "works", however is not compatible with the old imagemap extension. It is entirely possible these problems are something I am doing wrong, however: 1 - SM version uses map files; TS version embeds map info inline. The former is easier to maintain if the map is used in many locations - e.g. multilingual wiki. Is there a syntax for TS that allows map files to be used? 2 - SM version is case insensitive. TS version insists that keywords (poly, rect etc) are lower case. 3 - SM version's map files are virtually identical to HTML map syntax making HTML map tools easy to use to generate map files. TS version doesn't seem to like comma-delimited vertices etc. Before I spend a lot of time converting all the maps on my wiki to use the TS extension, is there any possibility of finding a way to make the two versions compatible? I prefer the low-maintenance aspects of SM's version but need to fix imagemap real soon. Mike

AJAX and .aspx as technologies for MediaWiki?
by Virgil Ierubino 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

A quick development question. If an AJAX-enabled, or "next-gen" MediaWiki were to be built, would it be acceptable for it to have been made in a format such as .aspx (i.e. built using Microsoft Visual Web Developer)? I was wondering if this might have some kind of clash with GFDL/Copyleft principles, or accessibility or compatibility. Would web pages in the .aspx format be acceptable as the output of the software that Wikipedia runs on? Thanks.

Making a link to a section edit
by Jim Hu 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

Is there a way in WikiText to make a link to the section edit for the spot where the markup is in a page? I want to have a template that puts a box in the page that says "This section needs editing" and have the box link to the Section Edit. Yes, I know that the edit link is right there, but in long sections it might be nice to have it in the box.
