Database Backup / Offline Mode
by Willem-Jan van Strien 29 Jun '07

29 Jun '07

I've been browsing the MW website for a while looking for two pieces of information. But I can't seem to find them. First of all, would there be any way to backup the database to a .--- file? And would there be any way to import a similar .--- file into a fresh database? Also, would it be possible to copy a wiki to a home computer so you could work on it offline? I know this would require the database offline too, so the first question would kick in again. WJ

Languages template - semi protected: how to add a new language ?
by Constantinescu Nicolaie 29 Jun '07

29 Jun '07

Hello, I'm Kosson from Romania and I have completed translating all Help pages. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents/ro and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Help/ro My question is: How do I add Romanian link to the Languages template ? I understand this is a semi-automated process as long as the help system is entirely translated and properly linked. I've done that and carefully checked. Do I have to signal or modify something. I read all I could find and nothing seemed to me clear crystal. Please bear with me if this might seem a foolish question. Thank you for your time -- Constantinescu Nicolaie Information Officer kosson(a)gmail.com http://www.kosson.ro

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Automatically linking wiki words
by Jack Eapen C 29 Jun '07

Even that would be enough- linking only the first appearance of a wiki word/phrase :) Regards, Jack ---------------------------------------------------------------- "If you can find something everyone agrees on, it's wrong" -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Sylvain Machefert Sent: Friday, June 29, 2007 12:44 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Automatically linking wiki words Hello, [[I'm]] [[afraid]] [[it]] [[will]] [[be]] [[boring]]... if you know what I mean ;-) In the same article, if the word software is repeated a lot of time, we usually link the first, else the page will be a bit "heavy" to read. 2007/6/29, Jack Eapen C <jackec(a)suntecgroup.com>: > > > > Is there a way to automatically link the wiki words in an article? i.e. > suppose in an article, there may be words like "open source" or "software" > for which articles are there in the wiki.

page_restrictions doesn't exist/database error
by Azurite 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

Since I was finally able to use PHP5 using CGI, I upgraded to MW 1.10.0. Everything looked good, up until I decided to try re-installing the ParserFunctions extension. Then I loaded the homepage and got this error: Database error A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "Title::loadRestrictions". MySQL returned error "1146: Table '*****_Az01.wf_page_restrictions' doesn't exist (localhost)". Given that it doesn't mention any files, line numbers, or even the query, I'm stuck as to what to do. I tried looking up this error (or portions of it), and I couldn't find anything. Help? -Azurite

<tt> crash error
by Getzke, John 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

I couldnt find any articles on it in the archive so I thought I should let it be known. Yesterday we recieved a report that a particular page would cause a fatal error and crash the browser in IE only. It was hard to believe but true. After checking through the code we noticed what the problem was... a syntax error. We mad the following correction to the page: :<tt>ptcHTMLAnchor("Actions").Click ptcHTMLTD(" Create Document").Click 'three extra spaces</tt> Into :<tt>ptcHTMLAnchor("Actions").Click :ptcHTMLTD(" Create Document").Click 'three extra spaces</tt> For some reason, one user left out a semicolon from one line on the page. When we put it back the crashing stoped and the page has been stable since. Its strange how the error only happened in IE and no others. John Getzke

PHP Crash in MediaWiki v1.9.3
by Rowe, Dolores A 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

Dear Support Group, I am using MediaWiki v1.9.3 with PHP 5.0.4 on a Windows 2000 Server (IIS 5.0). When a wiki crashes with a PHP error like this: Error: PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 77F89BB2 Does anybody know how to track down what is actually causing the issue ? Since there are many wiki's in the web instance, it is hard to track down. Let me know if you have a process for tracking down the PHP access violation. a million thanx, Lori Lori (Dolores) Rowe Web Administrator / InstallShield Support Software Engineering Tools and Environments Boeing (314)882-8784

We would like to change this back to one but dont know where to start. Has anyone else ever had this problem before? Suggestions on where to look? Any feedback is kindly welcome, John Getzke

It's always enlightening for me to experience alternative points of view. Your way of seeing things always expands my way of seeing things. Thank you. "hosts" (actually, probably meant "host's") could mean ... oh well, maybe you guessed it. I learn a whole lot more by being wrong than I ever learned by being right! =8^o What say, Matt? Got it solved already? If not, tell us more and we'll try to pitch in. -- Peter Blaise
