Email confirmation and email notification of password change don't work.
by Seungwon Yang 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hi, I googled and read threads about the email problems in MW, but couldn't find the exact answer. The problems are 1) email confirmation doesn't work. It just doesn't send email to the registered user. 2) cannot receive the forgotten password by email. I'm using, --------------------- MW version 1.7.1 PHP: 5.0.4 (apache2handler) MySQL: 4.1.11 Fedora 4 --------------------- Also, I would like to modify MW so that only the admin can create the users. Without email working, it won't be possible since the password will be emailed to the created user. I'm expecting to create around 450 users soon. I would very much appreciate your help. Thank you, Regards, Seungwon Yang P.S. If this question has already been answered, would you point me to the right direction?

Intercepting Usersname in $_POST for Special:Userlogin
by Michael B Allen 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hello, I have an AuthPlugin with which users may enter a username with a domain component like: EXAMPLE\alice or alice(a)example.com I am trying to find a way for our plugin to canonicalize these names. Is there a hook or somewhere that I can canonicalize usernames? Setting the nickname in AuthPlugin::updateUser has no effect. Setting $user->mName directly does not work because of logic at the top of SpecialUserLogin::authenticateUserData that runs before AuthPlugin::authenticate. How does one do this? Mike

Hi, Is there a way to restrict image uploads to only certain user types? I'd like to make sure that only administrators can upload images, since I've been having trouble with users uploading inappropriate content. Any ideas? Thanks, Garth

Site showcase?
by Sean O'Connor 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

I wonder if there's a site for showcasing one's wiki? I'd like to have a look at what other people are doing with mediawiki, but can't seem to find anywhere a "show your stuff" site. Does it exist and I'm just too blind to find it? Sean

Plugin: Require HTTPS for SpecialUserlogin
by Michael B Allen 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Hi, I have a plugin for authenticating clients against the central directory on large Intranets. In this environment it is not ok to use directory passwords within an insecure login form. These passwords must be encrypted. I would like to create a plugin that requires HTTPS when calling SpecialUserlogin with action=submitlogin. Right now I'm looking at somehow affecting the result of $titleObject->getLocalUrl so that the https:// protocol may be injected. I have not quite determined how to direct the client back to the non-SSL site. Of course Location headers are an option [1] but I am worried that they might interfere with Single-Sign-On and other "autoAuthenticate" apparatus and in general they should, in theory, not be necessary. Another issue seems to be that because cookies are protected under SSL, once the client is directed back to the non-SSL site they cannot access any cookie created during the login. This is easily disabled but I'm wondering if it is wise to do so. Does anyone have some comments to add about this problem? Mike [1] I am aware of the following page but I would explore all options. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Configuration_tips_and_tricks#HTTPS_on_…

Is there a new interface project?
by Adam Meyer 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

I was wondering if there were any collaborative efforts out there to redesign the mediawiki interface. Personally I have found that it is very cluttered and many of the people using my wikis are turned off or scared because of all the features. I know I can redesign my own skin, and I have, but I would like to help out if an open collaboration exists. -Adam

Redirecting
by Michael Heyder 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Hi @all, the following code works at all. But if a user wants to create a news there should start a wizard leading him through some steps. so a redirect to ?action=new at the moment the url looks like ?title=abc&action=edit > $wgHooks['ArticleFromTitle'][]='wizardBaseInterface'; > > function wizardBaseInterface($title, $article) > { > /* If the article already exists, make sure to forward to > * editpage->view > * otherwise start wizard > */ > if ($title->exists()) > { > return true; > } > > global $wgHooks; > > if (($title->mArticleID != '0') && $article->exists()) > $wgHooks['AlternateEdit'][]='wbiSkipToArticleView'; > else > $wgHooks['AlternateEdit'][]='wbiSkipToNewArticleWizard'; > > /* Give other extensions a chance to run */ > return true; > } > > /** > * Forwards to Article->view() - meant to be attached to 'AlternateEdit' dynamically. > * @param EditPage $editPage An instance of EditPage whose mArticle will be viewed. > */ > function wbiSkipToArticleView($editPage) > { > $editPage->mArticle->view(); > return false; > } > > /** > * Forwards to WizardBase - meant to be attached to 'AlternateEdit' dynamically. > */ > function wbiSkipToNewArticleWizard() > { > global $title; > $newPageWizard=new newPageWizard($title); > > return false; > } Thanks for some support Michael
