E-mailing all users?
by David_S_Green＠Dell.com 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

All, This has probably been covered, but I probably missed it. Also, a Google search doesn't seem to be finding what I need. I simply want to send an e-mail to ALL users listed in the users list. Is there a way (extension, etc) to easily do this? If not, might be a good sysop functionality to add in a future release? Thanks, Dave

Way to redirect all pages to new server?
by David_S_Green＠Dell.com 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

I am about to move our wiki to a new server, and I think I've got the whole moving the database part down, but is there a way to redirect all pages (links) to the new server? I know I can redirect index.php with just a normal redirect...so no worries there....but that will just bounce them to the main page. What about if they are coming straight to an article they have bookmarked or linked to? Example...say a page link was: http://originalserver/gecwiki/index.php/Acronyms but will now be: http://newserver/gecwiki/index.php/Acronyms Thanks, Dave

Wiki Farm Common Page
by Sowmya Dhanasekaran 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

Hello all, I have a small wiki farm set up with separate tables for each. We would like to have a "Welcome Page" that is common to all the wikis, so that editing it from one of the wikis would reflect the change across all the wikis. Is there any way to do this ? Thank you, Sowmya

EasyTimeline and Ploticus
by Azurite 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

I'm on a shared server that so far has been very open to MediaWiki and all my required extensions. My Wiki isn't so large that it needs dedicated space, but when I asked about installing ploticus.pl (necessary for the EasyTimeline extension, which I'd like to use), my host told me I should upgrade to a VPS server, which is beyond my budget. But I read that I can install the .pl in another location, so long as LocalSettings.php can see and execute it. Where would be the best place to put it so it doesn't cause any security issues? I checked the page, and it said it can install in other places, but there weren't any recommendations for specific-type locations, like /extensions/easytimeline or something. I still know the path to my Perl though, even though I can't put the script itself there. If I can't install ploticus without a security issue, is there an alternative extension that I'd be able to run from a shared host? -Azurite

New install of 1.10.1 vs. upgrade from 1.5
by Chris Knust 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

Good morning all, my apologies for a stupid but probably easy to answer question. I currently run MediaWiki 1.5.0; I seem to understand that I could not even do a direct upgrade to 1.10.1 but would have to make intermediate upgrades. However, I would like to move from a directory in my domain to a subdomain anyways so I thought I could skip the intermediate steps by doing the following: - Full backup of the current Wiki - Disconnect of the current Wiki to the MySQL database - New installation of MediaWiki 1.10.1 at the subdomain (with all the necessary steps such as generating folders etc.), referencing my MySQL database - Upload the MySql database dump (made with mysqldumper) if necessary I´d appreciate any hint if I have a substantial error in this plan. Thanks so much, best regards Chris

Article names in custom namespaces
by a. cremer 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

Hi, I have a question regarding the appearance of article names in custom namespaces: Consider that there is a custom namespace Foo and there is an article named Foo:TEST. When this article is put into a category and later on all articles of this category are listed the article will appear as Foo:TEST. Is there a way to let the article appear as TEST only (or is this not possible due to conflicting article names in other namespaces) or any hint where I can find some information on that topic? Kind regards Albert Cremer

uploading images automatically
by Johannes Perl 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

hi, I already managed to post into mediawiki with your help. Now I've got the problem, that I also should upload images this way. Is there a possibility to do this? The MediaWiki manual says that you have to be logged in to be able to upload images. Is there a way to do this with a bot who isn't logged in? Thanks for your information. -Johannes
