update problem
by Umidjon Rahmonberdiev 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

Dear all, I've update all core files in my wiki from 1.9.3 to 1.10.0 and after that I've tried to upgrade database schema using update.php in maintenance folder as readme file says to do that: === Perform the database upgrade === You will need an AdminSettings.php file set up in the correct format; see AdminSettings.sample in the wiki root for more information and examples. >From the command line, browse to the maintenance directory and run the update.php script to check and update the schema. This will insert missing tables, update existing tables, and move data around as needed. In most cases, this is successful and nothing further needs to be done. I have AdminSettings.php file correctly configured. But, as I'm trying to run this script through browser, it does not work. I cannot run this script from command line because of I'm using commercial hosting services and I don't have ssh access to my files to run them. How do I do upgrade my database files?

Anyone ever built up a custom Namespace search?
by Eric K 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

I'm trying to build up a set of tags using a parser extension that will produce a textbox and a search button that allows a user to search within a custom pre-defined Namespace. The Inputbox has a bug which doesnt make it work for my NS because it contains the ampersand (&) character. Also the Inputbox though great produces a checkbox on the output too, which I dont want. More manual coding might enable me to get rid of the checkbox as well do the search. Has anyone here done this, i.e. tried to make your own search textbox? I'm guessing it will mean reproducing and manipulating code from SpecialSearch.php for my own extension. thanks Erik --------------------------------- Be a better Heartthrob.

delete user
by Dave Smey 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hi all, Just a note about deleting users. I have a wiki that was spammed with about 100 "junk" usernames (made up of random characters), some of which were then used to vandalize the content. After a little fruitless effort with the DeleteUser extension (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Deleteuser) I figured out how to delete them all in MySQL. Wasn't difficult at all - just copied the userlist into a text file, weeded out the real usernames (which were in the minority), inserted more text into each line to make it an SQL command, and executed it all at once. This was a situation where I really needed to delete - the junk had rendered the userlist useless, and none of the spammers had contributed anything that I wanted to keep. Haven't seen any ill effects. And of course now I've locked down registration to keep the spammers out.

Anyone know how to modify Cologne Blue skin?
by crobledo＠ocregister.com 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hello, I know how to manipulate the MonoBook skin pretty well, but just installed the Cologne Blue skin on another wiki (behind a firewall, so I can't link to it). Darned if I can figure out in the template how to make this change. I don't find this section coded seperately like it is in the Nav bar on the left. These main nav links currently appear at the bottom of each page, in the template/skin: Edit this page | Discuss this page | Page history | What links here | Related changes Main Page | About Adminwiki | Find: (with the Go and Search buttons) I'd like to move (or at least copy) these to appear at the top of the skin/article instead, underneath the header. - Anyone know what code it is that I need to copy or move? - Also if you can confirm the file name, because maybe I'm looking in the wrong file. Thanks so much! Colleen Robledo

Editing timestamp-format or DefaultDateFormat?
by Katharina Wolkwitz 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hi, I'm responsible for the administration of the wiki we're just starting to set up at work. The wiki uses German language and I'd like to edit the DefaultDateFormat, but I couldn't find out how and where. :( At the Moment, when I use the button "Ihre Signatur mit Zeitstempel" to sign a text with adding a timestamp, the stamp has the following format: 09:57, 3. Jul. 2007 (CEST) The timestamp-format doesn't change, when I choose a different date-format in my userprofile-preferences, so maybe it's not the DefaultDateFormat I need to change, but a different parameter? I'd like to change the timestamp-Format (and/or the DefaultDateFormat) so that the timestamp looks like this: 03.06.2007, 09:57 In which file can I make this change and how?

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Secure Raw HTML and other preferences from install

> From: "Rob Church" <robchur(a)gmail.com> > > Mail me privately with the HTML you'd like included in the hook, and > I'll knock together an extension; it will take all of about 30 > seconds. Hey, how about making such a thing available as a function or template, or even brief set of instructions? Or has that been done already... What I would like (but have been too lazy to write) is a generalized SQL extension that lets you access a special page for inserting/ editing MySQL records, and has a tag format for displaying formatted records. Or has that been done already... :::: Natural gas is hemispheric. I like to call it hemispheric in nature because it is a product that we can find in our neighborhoods. -- George W.

Changing format of Search results
by Eric K 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

The search results are in small font (<small>). I'd like to increase the font size (and maybe change the red color) a bit. Looks like the use of the "<small>" tag for the search formatting has been hard coded in SpecialSearch.php. Is there a way to effect the formatting without modifying internal files, for example using Mediawiki:Common.css? thanks Erik --------------------------------- Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links.
