Hi, I'm working at a plugin called 'NewArticleWizard' which leeds useres through writing new articles. By this process I've stored some information in a session: PHP Code: | | |$_SESSION['wizard'] | In the final step this selections as selected catagories , a predefinied pattern should load in the editor at the bottm, so if the user begins to write his article he begins at the top of the textarea. So how can I implement this??? regards Timo

adapting MW caching behavior to the domain in the request?
by Maarten 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Hi folks, A question about MW caching of rendered pages. I've got a wiki set up that's reachable under multiple domain names. MW keeps only one version of each page in the cache and hands visitors the cached copy regardless of what domain they come to. For baroque reasons, this is causing problems. Most pages in our wiki contain an instance of the Google Maps extension. The Google Maps API requires that the javascript on your page pass Google an UUID "API key" that was generated for the domain that hosts the page. The extension code will look at the current domain name and generate javascript to pass the right key. However, that javascript code then becomes part of the HTML cached by Mediawiki: One visitor fetches the page with a request to wiki.domain1.com, and Mediawiki caches the resulting HTML. Next visitor arrives with a request to wiki.domain2.com, Mediawiki sees it has a cached copy, and hands that over--including the javascript with key meant for domain1.com. I'm curious what the best way is to work around this. I don't want to turn off MW's page caching altogether. Should I patch MediaWiki to consider a cached page invalid if it was generated for a request to a different domain? Would it work emit move some of the GMaps-related Javascript from the skin code, or is HTML generated by the skin also cached? Are there other ways to work around this? Thanks! Maarten.

abusi
by Giubizza 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Cari amici di Wikimedia, vi scrivo per degli abusi che ritengo di aver subito dagli amministratori della Wikipedia Italia. Dopo aver avuto qualche discussione un po' animata con alcuni utenti, gli admin hanno pensato di segnalarmi tra gli utenti problematici: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Utenti_problematici/Giubizza Fin qui tutto normale, ma il problema è che non mi hanno avvisato in tempo e hanno preso la decisione di bloccarmi senza sentire le mie ragioni. Non solo non le hanno volute sentire, ma si sono rifiutati anche dopo di ascoltarle, anzi, non potendo esporle sulla pagina della relativa discussione in quanto ero bloccato, ho pensato di inviarle via e-mail. Gli admin, invece di ascoltarmi, si sono ancora più arroccati sulle loro posizioni datosi che io non mi sarei "pentito". Così nel giro di poche ore il mio blocco da un giorno è passato a una settimana per poi finire a un mese e infine, per eventi del tutto estranei a wikipedia, a definitivo: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_utente:Giubizza Un admin ha inoltre svuotato la mia pagina personale: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utente:Giubizza non so per quale motivo... Dopodiché sono stato cancellato dalla mailing list: wikiit-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Ora io mi chiedo due cose: 1. se un utente viene segnalato non dovrebbe essere opportunamente avvisato in modo da poter dire la sua? Che modi sono questi di bloccare un utente senza averlo ascoltato e poi rifiutarsi categoricamente di ascoltarlo dopo che lo si è messo in condizione di non poter più farsi ascoltare per via "ordinaria"? 2. una volta presa la decisione di bloccare un utente per un certo periodo e una volta segnalata tale decisione, questa decisione non dovrebbe essere definitiva? Poi ovviamente, se una volta "rientrato" l'utente continua nei suoi comportamenti, allora viene di nuovo segnalato e si prendono di nuovo provvedimenti, magari più severi. Ma che modo di fare è mai questo di cambiare la "pena" tre volte nel giro di nemmeno una giornata? E per eventi, più o meno veri o più o meno presunti, avvenuti per forza di cose all'esterno del contesto di wikipedia... Io ho di certo fatto i miei errori, ma il comportamento degli admin lo trovo davvero disdicevole. Spero in un vostro imparziale e ragionevole intervento volto alla difesa, non tanto del sottocritto, quanto del prestigio di questo grande progetto che è wikipedia e che rischia gravi problemi se gestito in maniera alquanto scorretto. Vi porgo i miei più cordiali saluti. Peppe www.giubizza.tk

phpsuexec and uploaded file permissions
by Transom 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

After installing phpsuexec, newly uploaded files are no longer accessible. The first problem was that MediaWiki wouldn't upload files because it complained the files were corrupt or had bad extensions. That seemed to be a MIME detection issue and my sys admin set $wgMimeDetectorCommand to "file -bi" and that solved that problem. Now the files are being uploaded, but newly-uploaded image files are not visible in the wiki. On an Image: page, the image is not displayed and clicking the image link leads to an Apache error. The newly uploaded files have permissions=644 whereas before they had 755. So---are the permissions wrong? I don't know why MediaWiki would need "execute" permissions for images, but when images are 755 it works, and when set to 640, it doesn't. ALSO... I have noticed that MediaWiki shows a link on the image page for images uploaded in the past, and the MIME type is displayed as "text/plain". Both issues lead me to believe there is a filetype/mime issue somewhere and it'[s probably related to something I didn't do right when configuring the system. I am using MediaWiki 1.11.0, Apache/1.3.39, Linux 2.6.19.2-grsec. TIA. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

maintenance of database
by Russell, Elizabeth 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

I inherited a wiki on a Linux system that was installed using xampp, put out by apachefriends.org. It's worked great. It was preconfigured for PHP, apache, mySQL, Perl, etc. Now the database admins want to get involved, but it looks like mySQL was installed using the root userid and password. They say this is a problem, and are suggesting it would be best to reinstall mySQL to set up a DBA userid and password. Has anyone else gone through this? and if I do need to reinstall mySQL what else do I need to reinstall? Thanks, Beth

Restricting read access to specific entries?
by Dennis Carr 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

We're publishing a wiki for our own purposes, and I've been deemed the admin of said wiki. SOme of the content, though, is going to be somewhat restricted in its scope, and we're looking to have access granted to only a few people. That said, then, is there a way to restrict such access to such entries so that only a handful of logged in users can read it? -Dennis

PHP scripts giving Permission Denied since upgrade to 1.10.1?
by Paul Coghlan 23 Sep '07

23 Sep '07

So I have been using several of the maintenance scripts from the command line but since upgrading to 1.10.1 I am getting Permission Denied¹ messages on all? I am logged in as root on a dedicated server. We have had a couple of other things updated recently including Perl and Zend but our hosting company tells us they are able to run other PHP script on the box as root without trouble. Any ideas? Thanks, Paul
