No sysop user got created after installation
by umesh dhekane 09 Jul '07

09 Jul '07

I am experiencing exactly same problem as 'Shawn' stated below. I have been struggling for a long time on this, but could not find the solution. Can anybody tell me why this has happened. Regards Umesh contact: umeshtmi1(a)gmail.com Strange- only one account shows up - a standard user I created to explore. Nothing under sysop or bureaucrat groups. Is it possible that when filling out the configuration form multiple times (had to tweak some SQL settings inbetween) that I left the sysop field blank? Do I have to start over? If so it's not a big deal - this wiki is for me to learn on before deploying... -Shawn On Jul 6, 2007, at 12:37 PM, Rob Church wrote: > On 06/07/07, Shawn Allgeier <allgeier(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> I'm new to wikis in general.

Getting rendered/parsed wiki text

Hi, Having a $wgArticle object how can I get the *rendered* article text ? Can't find any method/function that will return that... getContent just returns the article as wiki markup.

Bulk page deletion
by Paul Coghlan 08 Jul '07

08 Jul '07

I am looking to replace a large number of pages with a newer version from outside of my wiki. My plan is to delete the existing pages and then import the new ones. With the number of pages being deleted (@20,000) it is possibly going to be easier to do it through SQL. The thing is that there are numerous tables with entries relating to the affected pages. Is there an easy way to remove pages en masse? Unfortunately the 20k pages in question represent only a small portion of the wiki so I ant simply empty tables. Each of the pages in question contains the same phrase which is itself unique. i.e. I am happy to delete all pages that include a specific phrase. This will only, I think, remove entries from the searchindex and text tables. Is there a way to detect all entries and remove them for these pages? Many thanks, Paul

Embedding dynamic external images
by Gaetan Lord 08 Jul '07

08 Jul '07

Hi, On the same host I'm running running my mediawiki site, I produce graphics about performance data. To create them, I call a cgi script and it does produce an html page with only the graphics. <body> <IMG ALIGN=CENTER SRC=/tmp/gnuplot.15898> </body> Is there any way, I could define a call to this cgi script, and embed the generated graphics/jpeg in a mediawiki page. This will be a kind of dynamic page. Any feedback on way to achieve this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Special:Export (max revisions)
by Rolf Lampa 07 Jul '07

07 Jul '07

Hi all, I tried to export the article Intelligent Design (all revisions) from Wikipedia. There's a limitation of max 100 revisions for Special:Export but the article has much more than those 100 revisions. The problem is that I'd like to retrieve a list of the LATEST revisions, but, the export function returns only the FIRST (100) revisions... :( I presume that most people would like to retrieve the *latest* revisions if the number of existing revisions exceed the maximum number allowed for export. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/XML_export#Exporting_the_full_history May I suggest that 1. (default) - the export list would contain the latest revisions (current(n)...-100) 2. (option) - the user could check a check box in order to retrieve the earliest revisions (1..100) In this way one could get up to 200 revisions for a title (with a gap in the middle though, if there's more than 200 revisions altogether). Regards, // Rolf Lampa

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Subpages with missing ancestors

> Gary wrote: ... What I think the original > poster means is the links displayed below > the title, like Page | Subpage. Simple as that. Thanks for sharing your experience, Gary. ... but I get NO "Page | Subpage" displayed anywhere, and certainly not below the title anywhere in my MediaWiki v1.10.0. Does anyone have any links to what you're looking at looks like? Also, Daniel, do you have any extensions installed? Let us know what [[special:version]] says. Thanks. - Peter Blaise

WikiSysop
by Shawn Allgeier 06 Jul '07

06 Jul '07

I'm new to wikis in general. Just got MW up and running on a machine running Mac OS 10.4. When I used the setup script there was a field for WikiSysop. I don't seem to be able to log in using this username. How does one admin a wiki? There is some high level user who has extended powers, right? I also don't see a way to remove a file that has been uploaded? Thank you, -Shawn

uploads broken
by Matt Miller 06 Jul '07

06 Jul '07

I'm having trouble with uploads. We're running Mediawiki 1.5 on Debian old Stable. When I upload a file, it seems to upload fine. I can access the description page. However I cannot access the file. I get the following error: The requested URL /images/e/eb/Nerdcore(small).jpg was not found on this server. from Localsettings.php $wgScriptPath = ""; $wgUploadPath = "{$wgScriptPath}/images"; $wgUploadDirectory = "{$IP}/images"; $wgEnableUploads = true; $wgFileExtensions = array('png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'doc', 'xls', 'pdf'); $wgUseImageResize = true; permissions on the images directory are currently 777 I can't seem to figure out what's going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, -- - Matt Miller - Solutions for Progress 728 South Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19146 215-701-6108 (v) 215-972-8109 (f)
