Hook for special grouplist?
by Jens Vieler 04 May '07

04 May '07

dear group, i'm using mediawiki1.9.3 with LDAP_Authentication 1.1d. for some reason, there aren't any group-enrties that i need in our ldap, so i have to use an other special grouplist. what i want is: - user authenticates with his ldap-account/password against our directory-server (works), *and* - user is in my grouplist (handmade list, or database-connection to a infosystem with group-information). so my question is: where to put a hook, that users who aren't in my list will not be able to login? regards jens

Standalone MediaWiki syntax parser ?
by Huang Anna 04 May '07

04 May '07

Dear List, Probably this question has been asked for several times, but after looked at the Alternative Parsers page on the MediaWiki website, googling and digging the list, I still can't find a usable syntax parser. I want to use a complete standalone MediaWiki syntax parser that renders wikitext segments into HTML pages, without a MediaWiki installation and any functions associated with the MediaWiki software. I also prefer parsers written in Java, Perl or C language. I went through the parsers listed on the Alternative Parsers page, the WikiOnCD, Perl MediaWiki Emulator seems can statisfy my requirement, but unfortunately both of them are not available Can anyone send me a copy so I can try out? I also tried the parser module in the Eclipse Wikipedia Plugin, but the page it generates differs greatly from the actual HTML code generated by MediaWiki engine. Is there any other Java parsers? Many thanks in advance. Regards, Anna

New extension: Semantic Forms
by Yaron Koren 03 May '07

03 May '07

Hi, I created a new extension for MediaWiki, "Semantic Forms", that allows for user creation of forms for adding and editing pages with semantic data, provided that data is represented through templates. This may be of little interest to those who aren't involved with the Semantic MediaWiki extension in some way (currently Semantic Forms won't fully work unless SMW is installed), but I wanted to publicize it here. You can download the code, and see documentation and examples, at this URL: http://discoursedb.org/SemanticForms/ Any comments and questions are welcome. Comments on the source code are very much appreciated as well, if you have any interest in going through it. If all goes fine, I'll add a page for it on mediawiki.org soon. -Yaron

weather
by Joe Lloyd 03 May '07

03 May '07

Hi All Just a question, if you type in "auckland weather" in google it gives you the 5 day forcast before any webpage searches. Are there any addons that can access that information to put on a wiki? Or any way to display only that information in a table on our wiki? Ie: if someone went to the "Auckland" page then it would show the 5 day forcast Thanks in advance _________________________________________________________________ Live Search delivers results the way you like it.

Hi, to change the logo, I put this line $wgLogo = "/home/daten/rezo/wiki/wikilangues/images/0/00/Omnes.jpg"; into LocalSettings.php but I always see the default logo. What's the right syntax ? cheers Klaus
