Uploads not creating wikinodes
by Vincent Castellano 06 Sep '07

06 Sep '07

Hello, I'm having a weird issue, whenever I try to upload a file, the file is stored on the server, however there is not wikipage that contains the upload, and right after I upload it, I get the "No file by this name exists, you can upload it." message. If I create a wikilink to a file that doesn't exist, and use that to upload it, the same thing happens (the links are still red, and you cannot view the file). However, the file IS stored in the images directory. This occurred after upgrading from 1.5.x. * MediaWiki: 1.10.1 * PHP: 5.1.6 (apache2handler) * MySQL: 5.0.45-community Thanks, Vince

Does anyone know about any progress being made on adding MathML support to Mediawiki? The Blatex project seems to be out of development for over a year. -- Daniel M. Israel dmi1(a)cornell.edu

Please try LiquidThreads
by Erik Moeller 06 Sep '07

06 Sep '07

LiquidThreads is a threaded discussion system for MediaWiki, developed by David McCabe with project management by Stichting Open Progress. It replaces standard talk pages in the wiki. I hope that one day it will be used on Wikimedia Foundation projects. LiquidThreads development has reached a stage where we'd like to invite the general public to try it out. There is an online demo: http://wikixp.org/lqt/index.php/Main_Page Please report bugs & issues _directly on the wiki_ and not on this mailing list. Sincerely, Erik Möller CTO, Stichting Open Progress

SVG image not displayed correctly
by Shah, Nikhil 06 Sep '07

06 Sep '07

My .svg file gets uploaded correctly and I see the converted image file .svg.png file created but the browser does not show the image. I would appreciate your advise. I see the file in the directory: \mediawiki\images\thumb\8\86\Map_of_US_TX.svg\200px-Map_of_US_TX.svg.png But I get a 404 error on this URL http://Mysite/MyWiki/images/thumb/8/86/Map_of_US_TX.svg/200px-Map_of_US_ TX.svg.png Here is a test I tried: I renamed the directory Map_of_US_TX.svg to Map_of_US_TX (without the .svg extension) and the image shows up correctly. I have added these params $wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'ppt', 'pdf', 'doc', 'psd', 'mp3','xls', 'zip','swf', 'svg'); $wgAllowTitlesInSVG = true; $wgSVGConverters = array( 'Inkscape' => '"D:/Inkscape/inkscape.exe" -z -w $width -f $input -e $output', ); $wgSVGConverterPath = 'D:/Inkscape/'; $wgSVGConverter = 'Inkscape'; My web server is IIS5 Thank you!

Suggestion: Edit option for "in other languages" box
by Wiki 06 Sep '07

06 Sep '07

Hello everyone, I've subscribed to this mailing-list just to send a suggestion since it's not possible to do so in forum. My suggestion is simple: an Edit option for the "in other languages" box in the left in every wiki page. You see, every section has its own Edit link so it's possible to load just that section. But when we need to change/add language link, we have to load the whole page! Not only this takes a long time but it's also very prone to error (esp for uploading edited page when something servers are not very responding). Hope you're convinced to add this little link. Regards

Important MediaWiki-related announcements (such as new versions) are also posted to this list. Other resources. If you only wish to receive announcements, you should subscribe to mediawiki-announce[1] instead. MediaWiki development discussion, and all Wikimedia technical questions, should be directed to the wikitech-l[2] mailing list. Several other MediaWiki-related lists exist: - mediawiki-api[5] for API discussions, - mediawiki-enterprise[6] for discussion of MediaWiki in the enterprise, - mediawiki-cvs[7] for notification of commits to the Subversion repository, - mediawiki-i18n[8] for discussion of MediaWiki internationalisation support, - wikibugs-l[9] for notification of changes to the bug tracker. List administrivia (unsubscribing, list archives). To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit [12]. Archives of previous postings can be found at [3]. This list is also gatewayed to the Gmane NNTP server[4], which you can use to read and post to the list. Posting to the list. Before posting to this list, please read the MediaWiki FAQ[10]. Many common questions are answered here. You may also search the list archives to see if your question has been asked before. To post to the list, send mail to <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>. This is a public list, so you should not include confidential information in mails you send. When replying to an existing thread, use the "Reply" or "Followup" feature of your mail client, so that clients that understand threading can sort your message properly. When quoting other messages, please use the "inline" quoting style[11], for clarity. When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message and change the subject. This will confuse peoples' mail readers, and will result in fewer people reading your mail. Instead, compose a new message for your post. Messages posted to the list have the "Reply-To" header set to the mailing list, which means that by default, replies will go to the entire list. If you are posting a reply which is only interesting to the original poster, and not the list in general, you should change the reply to only go to that person. This avoids cluttering the list with irrelevant traffic. About this message. This message is posted to the list once per week by <river(a)wikimedia.org>.

Changing user page URL
by Paul Coghlan 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

We have a custom skin that includes the personal URLs and a link to the User: page in the format: www.domain.com/wiki/index.php?title=User:XXX with the hyperlink appearing as the username, XXX¹ in this example. We would like to retain the link but point it instead to: www.domain.com/user/YY Where YY is not the username but instead the uid. The hyperlink should remain as-is but point to the new destination. I am not a PHP expert but have found this in our custom skin php file. I am thinking that the line marked with ** is the line to change but don¹t know what to insert in its place. Can anyone help out? Many thanks, Paul <?php foreach($this->data['personal_urls'] as $key => $item) { ?> <li id="pt-<?php echo Sanitizer::escapeId($key) ?>"<?php global $wgTitle, $wgUser; $item['active'] = $item['active'] || $item['href']==$wgTitle->getLocalURL() || ** $item['href']==$wgTitle->getLocalURL().'/'.$wgUser->getName(); if ($item['active']) { ?> class="active"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($item['href']) ?>"<?php if(!empty($item['class'])) { ?> class="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($item['class']) ?>"<?php } ?>><?php echo htmlspecialchars($item['text']) ?></a></li>

Categories of current page
by Andreas Rindler 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

Hi, I am creating a tag extension that uses the categories of the current page. How can I get a list of all categories that are assigned on the page? And I don't want the parent categories. I have found $wgPageTitle = $parser->getTitle(); $wgParentCats = $wgPageTitle->getParentCategories(); but it lists all the parent categories as well. Thanks, Andi
