importImages.php and duplicate images
by Maurizio Vitale 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

would something bad happen if I modified importImages.php so that an image is copied even if it is already existent? If this works, should I call recordUpload() on duplicates [e.g. are information like image geometry inserted in the database because of this call]? The plan is to rsynch my local image directory where drawings are created and modfied and then using ssh for remotely execute this modified script on the host. I'll be the only creator of images, so I'm not worried of conflicts with other people's images. Thanks, Maurizio

TableEdit 0.6 released to mediawiki.org
by Jim Hu 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TableEdit For those who are new to the list, TableEdit is an extension to allow insertion of tables that are edited via a Special page instead of by editing wiki markup inline. Version 0.6 fixes some bugs and adds some new features. * In the Special page display of the table, some template expansion is now done via Parser->preprocess() ... this may actually be a bad idea, but I'm experimenting with it. * Sites using the extension can now customize the "Create Table Here" link text to change depending on the template used. As usual, I hope people find this useful and report bugs...and even better, bug fixes! ===================================== Jim Hu Associate Professor Dept. of Biochemistry and Biophysics 2128 TAMU Texas A&M Univ.

Selective information displayed for logged user
by Gaetan Lord 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hi, Is there any way to display information in a wiki page only if a user is logged in. The long story. On my main page, I'd like to have specific information displayed only if the user is logged in. I wonder if there is any way to use some "ParserFunctions" to check if we have a logged user or a guest. {{ #if loggedUser ..... There is the isLoggedIn check that I could do from an extension, but I would rather prefer to not rely on extension Thank

Article subsections
by linus chu 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hello, I want to modify my page layout so that an article are divided into sections, each with a heading that can't be modified (like "main article," "main points" and "sources"). Each article section should then have an "edit" tab. What is the best way to accomplish this? I have been trying to do this myself and looking everywhere but can't seem to find and answer. any help appreciated

need some help with editing
by Steve Lindemann 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

I did search the archives but didn't find anything helpful. Of course, I may have gone about that badly, in any case... I get an error page with the following: Method Not Implemented POST to /wiki/index.php not supported. when I try to save or preview the following text during an edit: == Modify an existing user name == * ssh to xxxxx.marmot.org (999.999.999.999) * su - * vi /etc/passwd (chg username and home dir) * vi /etc/shadow (chg username) * cd /var/spool/mail * mv <OLDNAME> <NEWNAME> * cd /home * mv <OLDNAME> <NEWNAME> * vi /etc/groups (chg group name, if applicable) * exit (or ^D) * notify appropriate person via phone or prior email. The problem appears to be related to the forward slash, but the pattern of what fails and what works isn't consistent. Sometimes a single slash causes the problem and sometimes not, but then a second slash causes the problem again... When I remove this text all is good again. I'm confused and dismayed... Can anyone straighten me out on this?

$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault
by Jim Hu 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

I see that there is a patch on bugzilla from a couple of years ago for bug 3188. The patch is supposed to allow users who are not signed in to use the default search settings in $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault. Anyone have experience with this? Any chance of getting it added to the main distribution? For my wikis, searching Category as well as Main by default would be good.

Second wiki installation
by Sandy Rozhon 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

I'm having a bit of a problem with a second Wiki installation. So far, I've managed to get the tables created and to log in, however, I cannot edit or create any pages. I always get the same message: "This page has been locked to prevent editing; there are a number of reasons why this may be so, please see Project:Protected page. You can view and copy the source of this page: " I'm logged in as a Bureaucrat and have all the group permissions set to TRUE, so I don't understand why it won't let me do anything. My other installation is working just fine. Both are v1.6.10. I've tried purging the cache but still have the same problem. I thought maybe the Wiki wasn't seeing me as the Bureaucrat, but it allows me to edit User Rights, so that can't be it. What have I missed? Sandy
