Templating TableRows?
by Andrei Freeman 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

I am trying to make a template that contains a table. The trick is that I'm trying to inline a variable to the template to send in variable table rows. So far I've had no luck with my syntax and any suggestions would be welcome... Thanks -Andrei The following works: Template:BaseTable {| ! Head1 ! Head2 |- {{additionalRowTemp}} {{additionalRowTemp}} | line2-c1 | line2-c2 |} --------- Template:additonalRowTemp | foo-c1 | foo-c2 |- -=-=-=-=-=-= The Goal is to do: {{BaseTable | additionalRow= {{additionalRowTemp | c1=foo | c2=bar}} {{additionalRowTemp | c1=baz | c2=zot}} }} --------- Template:BaseTable {| ! Head1 ! Head2 |- {{{additionalRow}}} | line2-c1 | line2-c2 |} --------- Template: additionalRowTemp {| | {{{var1}}} | {{{var2}}} |+ } Andrei Freeman: Software Project Management, Engineering and Web Hosting at: Apolo Productions andrei.freeman(a)mac.com | aim://lordandrei | lj://afreeman

SSI in mediawiki pages.
by Chris Johnson 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

Hi. I've been roaminging the mediawiki maunals looking to see if it will allow the SSI function,  and do it. I've found pages saying with tags one can't use. I've found nothing yet on SSIs. Can mediawiki do an old style SSI and where are file and virtual relative to anyway? I've been unable to get it to work although the browser doesn't gripe when the page shows up. A pointer to any documentation on doing it or not in mediawiki would work too. Many thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Johnson |Internet: johnson(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Systems Administrator |Web: http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/~johnson NMR Center |Voice: 617.726.0949 Mass.

The opposite of wfMsg()?
by Daniel Barrett 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

I have an app that depends on a particular system message that might not exist yet. What is the correct way to accomplish the following logic in an extension? if (!wfMsg('my-message')) { set 'my-message' to a default value } $wgOut->addWikiText(wfMsg('my-message')); Thanks, DanB --------------------- Confidentiality note The information in this email and any attachment may contain confidential and proprietary information of VistaPrint and/or its affiliates and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] missing /config/index.php during new mediawiki install (was "HELP")

Peter Blaise (of all people!) responds: Hi and welcome, Matt. Sounds frustrating. RTFM - read the factory manual! So, what page of the owner's instruction manual are you having difficulty with? Hahaha - just kidding. ;-) But seriously, Matt, tell us more. You say: "installing mediawiki" - what version? You say: "on my server" - what server? Remote ISP? Local Windows 2000? Intranet Linux and you're at a connected workstation? You say: "it's saying" - who does the pronoun "it" stand for? It could be one of many layers underneath MediaWiki. MediaWiki depends on: - an operating system (Windows, Linix...) - web server (Microsoft IIS, Apache...), - PHP, - a SQL RDBMS (MySQL, PostgreSQL...), ... and so on. The message could be coming from anywhere. Tell us how much of the support stuff you have successfully running without error messages. For instance, can you get the PHP install and config screen in your browser before you even download MediaWiki? So, Matt, bring us to the exact point in your specific environment, and we'll see what we can do to find out what's awry! -- Peter Blaise

Do i realy need them? However, the update.php script fails a bit later on creating "page_restrictions". It is too long. A smaller name works. Perhaps there is a mysql configuration to change?

Session longevity
by paul.edmondson＠fifeventures.co.uk 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

Hello All, On an installation of mediawiki that we are running I've been tasked with trying to get mediawiki to keep users logged in over a larger period of time and across browser restarts. After poking around the code I think I can do this by increasing the lifetime of the session cookie by using session_set_cookie_params. However in GlobalFunctions.php, wfSetupSession calls session_set_cookie_params like this: session_set_cookie_params( 0, $wgCookiePath, $wgCookieDomain ); I can of course change this line to add in a lifetime value. However I find changing core code always causes problems when updating or patching. My question is: Do you think it will be possible in a future release of MediaWiki to add a $wgCookieLifetime configuration variable that can be used in session_set_cookie_params. The default value in DefaultSettings.php can be set to 0 and then can be overridden in LocalSettings.php if required. Thanks, Paul.

Address-Database2Wiki: Problems with Template-generated headlines
by Andreas Kahl 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

Hello everybody, I have a problem with Templates: When I created a template for formatting a large set of addresses, I used headlines (with == headline == for being able to structure the page and giving users the possibility to change certain addresses only without seeing the code for the whole page. The problem is: When I click on 'edit' on a certain headline, I get an empty code instead of the code for the certain address. What can I do to change that? Besides that, the output looks exactly as I expected. But I can only edit the whole page not certain addresses - that's the problem. Thanks for any ideas. Regards Andreas P.S. Here's an example to what I did: First try: << Template:Addresses: =={{{Title}}} {{{Name}}}== Address: {{{Street}}} Country: {{{Country}}} Addresses-file: {{Template:Addresses |Title=M.Sc |Name=Max |Street=Roadname |Country=Germany }} >> In a second step, I changed that to help MediaWiki understand me, but it didn't help: << Template:Addresses-headline: {{{Title}}} {{{Name}}} Template:Addresses Address: {{{Street}}} Country: {{{Country}}} Addresses-file: =={{Addresses-headline |Title=M.Sc |Name=Max }}== {{Addresses |Street=Roadname |Country=Germany }} >> Any further ideas?
