Re: [Mediawiki-l] Namespace
by Benjamin Kallos 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

Dear Friends, I am building a wiki and am wondering if Namespace is the right tool or if I should be using something else. An example of the type of information I am trying to keep independently searchable is as follows. My city has several school districts, each district has several schools. For now I figure that I can make name spaces: District 1, District 2...etc. Then create articles in each namespace for High Schools, Middle Schools, etc. Can I create a Namespace within a Namespace, such as District 1: High Schools: If not, is Namespace the best way to sort out all the articles about the various high schools? Is there a better way to store information that might be better situated in a separate database, or is namespace the way to go? Thank you in advance. Regards, Benjamin

Remove tabs in the MonoBook template ?

// Since I can't see my message come into the Mailing list, I send it again, sorry for disturb // Hello guys, One of my users asked for a Mediawiki for his department to store a couple of information. That is not a big deal; a couple of ones are already running on our intranet. I'm running Mediawiki 1.10 with SSO authentication (users are automatically recognized and his login is displayed at the top of the page like a regular manual registration but without any intervention of the user) I did a couple of group in LocalSettings.php : Users not authenticated can read : $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createtalk'] = false; User successfully authenticated by the SSO plugin can read, create a talk.. $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['move'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['read'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['createtalk'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['upload'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['reupload'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['reupload-shared'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['minoredit'] = false; If an authenticated user who is in the Contributor group can read/edit and so on $wgGroupPermissions['Contributor' ]['move'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Contributor' ]['read'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Contributor' ]['edit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Contributor' ]['createpage'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Contributor' ]['createtalk'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Contributor' ]['upload'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Contributor' ]['reupload'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Contributor' ]['reupload-shared'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Contributor' ]['minoredit'] = true; My colleague want "user" has an UI very simple by removing: "Discussion" "View Source", "Contribution", "My Discussion Page" on the top of the page and the "Toolbox" menu of the left. Is there a way to do that? Second question: How to edit the footer?

Trying to upgrade from 1.6.7 to 1.10
by Ori Redler 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

Hi To all, When trying to upgrade MW from 1.6.7 (no less!) I am held by this message: PHP 5.1.6 installed Found database drivers for: MySQL Warning: PHP's safe mode is active. You may have problems caused by this, particularly if using image uploads. PHP server API is apache2handler; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/ Page_Title) Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. Your session save path appears to be invalid or is not writable. PHP needs to be able to save data to this location in order for correct session operation. Please check that session.save_path in PHP.ini points to a valid path, and is read/write/execute for the user your web server is running under. The last line is, I guess, the most pertinent -- the upgrade is not performed. Note that I also have a "config" folder in the level above the /wiki/ -- I did not put it there, but I think it is not relevant to the case in hand, as I'm trying this with http://myserver/wiki/ config/index.php If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.

icon for edit button
by Frederik Dohr 16 Jun '07

16 Jun '07

Hi all, I quite like the idea of the UniversalWikiEditButton*, so I've tried adding such an icon to our wiki's "edit this page" button. However, adding the following CSS code to [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] had no effect whatsoever: #ca-edit { padding-left: 20px; background-image: url(UniversalWikiEditButton.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: left; background-color: #000; } (code adjusted for publication) Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, F. * http://www.aboutus.org/UniversalWikiEditButton

Problems with wiki that claims it can't find a table

15 Jun '07

One of the wikis I run went down for strange reasons several months ago. It's currently giving off the following error message: Error in fetchObject(): Table 'infoshop_library.library_page' doesn't exist Backtrace: * GlobalFunctions.php line 602 calls wfBacktrace() * Database.php line 596 calls wfDebugDieBacktrace() * MessageCache.php line 246 calls Database::fetchObject() * MessageCache.php line 174 calls MessageCache::loadFromDB() * MessageCache.php line 357 calls MessageCache::load() * GlobalFunctions.php line 449 calls MessageCache::get() * GlobalFunctions.php line 408 calls wfMsgGetKey() * GlobalFunctions.php line 319 calls wfMsgReal() * OutputPage.php line 172 calls wfMsg() * OutputPage.php line 771 calls OutputPage::setPageTitle() * Database.php line 476 calls OutputPage::databaseError() * Database.php line 419 calls Database::reportQueryError() * BagOStuff.php line 390 calls Database::query() * BagOStuff.php line 281 calls MediaWikiBagOStuff::_doquery() * BagOStuff.php line 228 calls SqlBagOStuff::_query() * MessageCache.php line 142 calls SqlBagOStuff::get() * MessageCache.php line 357 calls MessageCache::load() * GlobalFunctions.php line 449 calls MessageCache::get() * GlobalFunctions.php line 408 calls wfMsgGetKey() * GlobalFunctions.php line 361 calls wfMsgReal() * Wiki.php line 74 calls wfMsgForContent() * index.php line 105 calls MediaWiki::checkInitialQueries() We've tried restoring the database from a back-up copy and that didn't work. I'm not sure what to do next. Chuck -------------------------- Bread and Roses Web Design serving small businesses, non-profits, artists and activists http://www.breadandrosesweb.com/
