Page Edit tab does not work in Firefox
by Maya Narayanan 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi, 1. I am not able to click the 'edit' tab in Firefox to edit a page. There is no such problem in IE. 2. This problem is there for version 1.6.5 as well as 1.9.0 3. When the (mouse)pointer is moved on the 'article' tab, it can be clicked (hyperlink hand symbol appears). This does not appear for all the other tabs - discussion, edit, history. 4. However, the 'section edit' links work and editing is possible for individual sections. Did anyone come across an issue like this? Any suggestions/help to fix this is welcome.

Cookies failing to read.
by Edward Schache 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi All, I have recently setup MediaWiki for an internal wiki at work. The wiki is running on windows 2003 with the latest (as of a week ago) MySQL and PHP. I have created several users and disabled anonymous editing. I have set a domain for the cookies which appears to be correct. I have set an expiration of +3years. The wiki is similar to wiki.internaldomain.com and the cookie domain is set to ".internaldomain.com" When I log in to the wiki the cookie gets set correctly and the page I get redirected to shows my user name (correct for different users). If I then refresh this page (or if the page takes a while to load eg. Manually accepting the cookies) then I am not logged into the system. It is as if the wiki is failing to read the cookie although it exists. Secure is set to false on the cookies and the expiration is 3years in the future (I overrode the default expiration). Thanks in advance. Ed

Table of Contents to include subpages?
by Frederik Dohr 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hello all, Is there an elegant way to have the automatically created Table of Contents also take into account headings from subpages? Let's say we're composing a manual, which consists of several chapters (and maybe even sub-chapters): 1. Introduction 2. Basics 2.1. Installation 2.2. Setup Now each of those (sub-)chapters has its own subpage: Manual Manual/Introduction Manual/Basics Manual/Basics/Installation Manual/Basics/Setup The resulting ToC might then look somewhat like the following: = Introduction = == Legal Disclaimer == == Copyright Notice == = Basics = == Installation == === Requirements === === Download === === Installation Process == == Setup == === Network Configuration === === User Configuration === I figure this wouldn't be easy (also because of the order in which to include the respective subpages) - but maybe someone has thought of this before!? If not, we'll just create the ToC manually (maybe making use of transclusion to include the subpages in an extra page, which would then contain the ToC). Thanks, F.

ParserFunction #ifeq can't be nested(?) - any other approach?
by Rolf Lampa 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi all, I'm making a template attempting to get ParserFunctions to determine assigned parameters for me, but it seems like I can't nest multiple #ifeq-functions. Imagine the template {{pseudoimage}}, it should be able to properly handle multiple params: {{pseudoimage|image name.jpg}} {{pseudoimage|image name.jpg|thumb}} {{pseudoimage|image name.jpg|thumb|65px}} {{pseudoimage|image name.jpg|thumb|65px|left}} {{pseudoimage|image name.jpg|thumb|65px|left|Well, descriptive text}} The first case to test is easy, and it works: Test 1: {{{1}}} = image name: {{#ifexist:[[Image:{{{1}}}]]|[[Image:{{{1}}}]]|[[Category:Image missing]]}} ---- Test 2: ( same as above, plus checking for SECOND param - works ) {{#ifexist:[[Image:{{{1}}}]]| {{#ifeq:{{{2}}}|""|[[Image:{{{1}}}]]|[[Image:{{{1}}}|{{{2}}}]]}} |[[Category:Image missing]]}} ---- Test 3: ( same as above, plus checking for THIRD param - does NOT work) {{ #ifexist:Image:{{{1}}} | {{ #ifeq:{{{2}}} | "" | [[Image:{{{1}}}]] | {{ #ifeq:{{{3}}} | "" | [[Image:{{{1}}}|{{{2}}}]] | [[Image:{{{1}}}|{{{2}}}|{{{3}}}]] }} }} | [[Category:Image missing]] }} ---- So now, how can I achieve something like this. I need to check at least five parameters (I think). Any ideas of other ways to achieve the same goal? Regards, // Rolf Lampa

Template namespace question >> renamed to Resources but still not appearing as such....
by khuffman＠NGS.ORG 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

I'm reposting my "help" question since I had no response... I'm using MediaWiki 1.9.3. I had a question about the Template namespace. I want to use the functionality of the Template namespace but want an alternative display name (i.e., Resource). So, I updated this file: \includes\Namespace.php by change the canonical name from "Template" to "Resource" and Template_talk" to "Resource_talk" (see below). Problem, though, is that the word "Template:XXX" still appears as part of the page name or if I include on a pages {{xxx}}. I thought by updating the Namespace.php file that pages would appear with "Resource:XXX." Are there other pages I must change/customize as well? Any advice? $wgCanonicalNamespaceNames = array( NS_MEDIA => 'Media', NS_SPECIAL => 'Special', NS_TALK => 'Talk', NS_USER => 'User', NS_USER_TALK => 'User_talk', NS_PROJECT => 'Project', NS_PROJECT_TALK => 'Project_talk', NS_IMAGE => 'Image', NS_IMAGE_TALK => 'Image_talk', NS_MEDIAWIKI => 'MediaWiki', NS_MEDIAWIKI_TALK => 'MediaWiki_talk', NS_TEMPLATE => 'Resource', NS_TEMPLATE_TALK => 'Resource_talk', NS_HELP => 'Help', NS_HELP_TALK => 'Help_talk', NS_CATEGORY => 'Category', NS_CATEGORY_TALK => 'Category_talk',

timestamps
by Frederich, Eric P21322 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hello, I seem to be having some problems with timestamps on our Wiki. When on the Unix machine which serves our Wiki, if I run the "date" command, it displays the correct date and time. When I create a sample PHP file to echo the date (echo "The time is : " . date("H:i:sa");) it shows the correct time. When I make an edit in our Wiki, the dates are 4 hours ahead of time. I made an edit at 10:03am and on the recent changes page it says I made that change at 14:03. I am having a similar problem with my Wordpress blog except the weird thing is that they're not off by the same amount. In fact, the blog has timestamps of 1 hour earlier as opposed to the 4 hours later that the Wiki is saying. Where could I be having my problem with the Wiki? Does PHP rely on the underlying system's date command or do I need to configure something? Like I said, it seems to be correct when I echo date("H:i:sa") in PHP. Thanks, ~Eric

Ignore: Short URLs not reflecting in menu
by Caitlin Dempsey 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Ok - sorry for this. The problem is now resolved. I guess after clearing the cached I needed to close the browser and reload the page. -----Original Message----- From: Caitlin Dempsey [mailto:editor@gislounge.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2007 7:58 AM To: 'mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org' Subject: Short URLs not reflecting in menu For some reason that I can't figure out, the short URLs are not reflecting in my menu bar. I followed the instructions for "Eliminating index.php from the url" (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eliminating_index.php_from_the_url) which works for my pages but for some reason "index.php?title=" is still showing up for the menu. I've done this successfully for another wiki but for some reason it's not working completely for http://subjectgeo.com. I've cleared by cache in case that was the problem.

How do I get it? I'd like this infoboxes aswell, and would know how to make/get them on my wiki. Aswell, is the "table" Icon in the edit area a default to enable?

Is there a good list of available templates? Already predefined? Or you have to do all them byself?
