How to turn off parsing of magic links?
by Jim Hu 28 Jul '07

28 Jul '07

I was wondering why my imports were blowing up when they got to the gene called rfc, and then I found this: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Markup_spec/BNF/Magic_links#RFCs How do I turn off parsing of these during importDump? Thanks! Jim ===================================== Jim Hu Associate Professor Dept. of Biochemistry and Biophysics 2128 TAMU Texas A&M Univ. College Station, TX 77843-2128 979-862-4054

Invalid links
by Andrew McConnell 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hello, Does anybody have any thoughts as to why internal article links would be different for unauthenticated users vs. authenticated users? On the Main_Page article I have the following wikitext: [[How_to_contribute_to_FLIP]] When Main_Page is rendered for guest users, it produces the following HTML: <pre> <a href="/index.php/How_to_contribute_to_FLIP" title="How to contribute to FLIP">How_to_contribute_to_FLIP</a> </pre> However, when an authenticated user views the same page, it produces this: <pre> <a href="/flip/index.php/How_to_contribute_to_FLIP" title="How to contribute to FLIP">How_to_contribute_to_FLIP</a> </pre> The link for the guest user results in a 404 Not Found because index.php does not live at the root of the webserver. Help is appreciated. -Andrew

Multiple stages of parsing (or forced re-conversion of wikitext into XHTML)
by Flip Mozart 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

My next question is somewhat related to my earlier email on "Custom tag within a custom tag". I tried writing a parser extension function which constructs a table using wikitext, like this: {| | Country||Population |- | || ... |- |} The code looks like this: $wgExtensionFunctions[] = "wfXdataExtension"; function wfXdataExtension() { global $wgParser; $wgParser->setHook( "data", "drawTable" ); } function drawTable( $input, $argv, &$parser ) { // for now, ignore the text in between the tags. // let's use a user-assigned value for $input. $input = array( ... ); $output = buildWikiTable($input); return $output; } I was EXPECTING this: Sample article: Country Population Germany 50,000,000 ... But I got this instead: {| | Country||Population |- | || ... |- |} It seems that the Wiki treated the above AS IS, and did not interpret it as special WikiText that needs to be converted to (X)HTML. My question is: How do I force the Wiki to evaluate the WikiText returned by my parser extension function? Many thanks!

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Merging two separate MediaWiki installations into one
by Brandon Dudley 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Article histories would be nice, but not a deal-breaker if they couldn't come over. if it helps, what I mean by merged is that I have two separate media wiki installations: one for a particular department and one for the organization in general. I'd like the bring the dept. wiki into the org wiki so that it aligns with the other depts' wikispace.

Anyone have any ideas at all about how to accomplish this? Or is this topic verboten? :) ------------------------ All - I am in the process of trying to wrangle our local Intranet wiki projects into a single installation that hopefully can be completely Interlinked. I have not been able to find any instructions or mention of how best to accomplish this through Google or the list archives. Any advice, pointers, or otherwise would be much appreciated.

Custom tag within a custom tag
by Flip Mozart 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hi all! Now, I'm thinking of another custom tag, called ALTVIEW or ALTERNATIVE VIEWER. The idea is that data (text) in between this tag will be displayed using a user-specified viewer such as an applet or an entire application. Is there a way to embed a custom tag within a custom tag in Wiki text? It's something like this: === Wiki Editor ========================================= Article: Country:United States The past 43 presidents of the United States are: <altview viewer=htmlEnum> <xdata source=US_Presidents></xdata> </altview> ===================================================== NOTE: htmlEnum is a custom PHP function that accepts an array of strings, concatenates all array entries into one long string, separating each entry by a comma. And the output should be: === Wiki View ========================================== The past 43 presidents of the United States are: George Washington, ..., Bill Clinton, and Al Gore. ===================================================== UNFORTUNATELY.... this is the output: === Wiki View ========================================== The past 43 presidents of the United States are: <altview viewer=htmlEnum> Array </altview>. ===================================================== For some reason, the array( "George Washington", ..., "Al Gore" ) is not being passed to the AltView extension function. Any ideas on how to make this work? I'm working on a Biology-related Wiki, and one of the things I want to do is this (second example): === Wiki Editor =========================================== Article: Protein:P52 The P52 protein has the following structure: <altview viewer=deepView> <xdata source=P52_Sequence></xdata> </altview> More text here... blah... blah... ======================================================== And the output could be: === Wiki View ============================================= The P52 protein has the following structure: ===== deepView Version 2.0 (TM) ========== | | | 00000----0000----| | | | | | |---/\/\/\/\/\/ | | | | (some 3-D protein diagram) | | | | | =================================== More text here... blah... blah... ===================================================== Regards, Filip Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

How to completely remove corner Main Page link?
by Andrew Stewart 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

(sorry for resending this if it's in fact a resend. my work's mail server has been down, etc etc) Howdy. I've removed the image in the upper left corner (that has the logo and links to the main page). Removing the image, however, still leaves behind an invisible box which still links to the main page. This 'box' gets in the way of clicking on any other links that may be within the ~200x200 box. I have a feeling this box is defined in one of the style sheets but Ill be damned if I know where. Can anyone point me to the right location?

why custom groups are not available in protect

There's a protect link available in articles. Clicking on that link lists only "block unregistered users" and "Sysops". Why the other mediawiki user groups are not listed there?

Redirection Help
by Cynthia Blue 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

I am trying to get my redirect working so I have the short URLs and not the long ones with the index.php?= included. I'm trying to use the mod_rewrite but I'm having problems when I create a subdomain. I want to use wiki.utahdogs.com as the main URL for the wiki. When I create the subdomain on my host (shared), it messes up my main domain url. The wiki address works like this: http://www.utahdogs.com/wiki/ When I use the directory as a subdir in the URL. But if you put in wiki.utahdogs.com, I get a mess. (it keeps repeating /wiki/wiki/wiki/... after the domain.) My rewrite rules in my .htaccess are as follows: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^wiki/(.*) wiki/index.php?title=$1 [PT,L,QSA] If anyone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. I'm going to leave the site broken for a little bit until I can get some help with this. The main domain is www.utahdogs.com And if you look at that page, images and css are not showing up. Because the url to the host itself, http://box83.bluehost.com/~utahdogs/, seems to pointing to the wiki subdirectory... I am not sure why. This only happens when I have wiki created as a subdomain. Thanks for any help!
