Changing Default Search Parameters
by Getzke, John 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Hello Mediawikians, We are interested on globally changing the search parameters to include Categories. I found an article in the archives, but this dates back to 2004: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/htdig/mediawiki-l/2004-December/00274 5.html In the article it mentions having to change the database to override the users settings. Does anyone know if there is a different/better way of accomplishing our goal? Thanks, John Getzke

Purging 'Mediawiki messages' from memcached
by Carlos Jorge Andrade 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Hi, Accidentaly it seems that the mediawiki messages (seen in Special:Allmessages) from a development server ended up on the live memcached servers. Now the live servers are displaying messages from the development database (memcached content). I can confirme this because if I turn off the memcached option in LocalSettings all comes back to normal... the correct messages are displayed. Using ?action=purge on the Special:Allmessages won't do nothing as also setting $wgCacheEpoch to a future date. Is there a way to purge this content from the memchached servers, or ultimately all pages ? How can I reset this ? I've search for something similar to maintenance/ deleteImageMemcached.php but didn't find anything. Thanks.

Object caching functions cannot be used. although in my phpinfo eAccelerator is listed. http://64.22.97.143/~rpedia/phpinfo.php "This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine: Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies with eAccelerator v0.9.5, Copyright (c) 2004-2006 eAccelerator, by eAccelerator" Anyway to tell the install that it IS there?

Re: [Mediawiki-l] enabling eaccelerator
by Jack Eapen C 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

My eaccelerator cache is in /opt/lamp/tmp/eaacelerator/ I think this is not a default location. How can I tell mediawiki to use this location? And how can I know whether eaccelerator is working with MW or not?

Warning with Captcha Extensions
by Emufarmers Sangly 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

I'm getting this warning after saving an edit, when the system prompts me for the captcha. This seems to occur whether I'm using the default SimpleMath, or ReCAPTCHA. It still works fine, but this warning appears at the top of the screen every time: Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Unknown modifier 'd' in /home/[snip]/includes/EditPage.php on line 634 Lines 632-639: # Check for spam $matches = array(); if ( $wgSpamRegex && preg_match( $wgSpamRegex, $this->textbox1, $matches ) ) { $this->spamPage ( $matches[0] ); wfProfileOut( "$fname-checks" ); wfProfileOut( $fname ); return false; }

Error in running maintenance scripts
by Jack Eapen C 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Hi, My test wiki is on a Windows machine. I tried running the maintenance scripts from command line. The command I executed was D:\PROGRA~1\EasyPHP 2.0b1\php5>php -cli "D:\Program Files\EasyPHP 2.0b1\www\sunwiki\maintenance\dumpHTML.php" The error I got is "DB connection error: MySQL functions missing, have you compiled PHP with the --with-mysql option?" How to rectify this? In the Adminsettings.php files, what are the values to be given?-mysql db username/password or wiki's sysop username/password?

pywikipedia strange behaviour
by Maurizio Vitale 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

I'm trying to use pagefromfile.py and everything is fine until I use a certain user ID as the login for the bot. But if I try with a different user ID (configured the same way, login ok) the script runs but refuse to modify the page saying that I either have a cascade lock set or I'm affected by bug 9226. Hints or solutions anybody? Thanks a lot, Maurizio

Changing the footer area
by Eric K 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

I want to change the footer area and add a statistics code to my wiki, right before the Body tag of each page. Is there anything like Mediawiki:footer? I found this message from 2005, but it asks me to change all the skins: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2005-July/005951.html Is there a better way of doing this?

Re: [Mediawiki-l] EcoliWiki
by Jim Hu 02 Aug '07

Hi Marc, Sorry I forgot to do this yesterday...Account created. Actually, lots of the CSHL people could have done it too, but they probably forgot that they have the power. With your account, you can also create new users on EcoliWiki. The next version of TableEdit does away with the Create Table Here link. Just puts an empty table in directly. I will try to work on a way to make it do infoboxes like the ones on Wikipedia. You can now make the float, though: http://ecoliwiki.net/colipedia/index.php/Doodle controlled by http://ecoliwiki.net/colipedia/index.php/Template:Database_table Does that work for reactome?
