hello,
I upgraded MediaWiki from 1.9 to 1.11.0 on Windows. We use the wikipdf extension. After the upgrade the pdf conversion does not work any more because the function wfImageDir which was located in includes\ImageFunctions.php is missing.
Anyone knows which function I can use instead? I didn't find anything about this function on the web.
Thanks
Günter
Morning all,
Is it possible to change the default TOC behaviour? I'd like for it to
be added as a floating table on the right, as described on this page:-
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Section#Table_of_contents_.28TOC.29
If I manually add the code shown then it works fine, but I'd really
like for this to be the default behaviour on my wiki.

This seems to me to be part of a larger problem. How do these people
conduct other company business from their home office?
I'd put it behind a firewall, then poke holes in the firewall for the
home office users.
But if the aversion to VPN is unwillingness to involve the corporate
IT department... the VPN would probably be an easier sell. :-)

Before posting to this list, please read the MediaWiki FAQ[10]. Many common

your question has been asked before.
Please try to ask your question in a way that enables people to answer you.
Provide all relevant details, explain your problem clearly, etc. You may
wish to read [13], which explains how to ask questions well.

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

style[11], for clarity.
When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message and change the

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

avoids cluttering the list with irrelevant traffic.

Hmmm....
So is there no way to get a new Office 2008 ppsx file to display
correctly to a Mediawiki user?
What I want to do is have my internal users click on the ppsx link and
have it recognize it correctly and not as a text file.
TIA!
Sean
No, because then MediaWiki won't let you upload the file because the
system sees the ppt and xls files as msword mime type. The real problem
is that all of those formats have the same magic number, so you have to
do trickery.
This may be different with older version of office, but the newer
versions seem to do this.

Where does using rational $wgGroupPermissions, http/ssl, and
basic/ntlm authentication fall short?
Extending this out to partners / extranet doesn't seem too hard or
removed as well. Especially if your doing Portals or other specific
name spaces.
Hello. I have a problem with uploading dump mediawikiwiki-20080109-pages-articles.xml. When I write path to the file and click to Upload file it shows: Unknown import source type. What do I have to do to solve it? Thanks for any suggestions. -MGrabovsky
I was wondering if there was any actual space for programmers who are
creating MediaWiki extensions.
I've been working on MediaWiki extensions for awhile. Unfortunately, I
don't get to complete many, or show them off at all because I never
really have the resources.
Basically for a variety of reasons; I have no webspace to show off the
working of extensions, I migrate between two family computers, and the
local servers there are configured in two different ways, and it's tough
to sync a database, so I can't really keep the stuff with me and work on
them when I have the time.
As a result, between the two computers I have a variety of extensions
which are half complete, and are either waiting for me to get back to
them, or for someone to get interested enough in them for me to actually
continue.
((A short list would be:
WikiVid [http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiVid]
TransWiki [Allows for cross-wiki transclusions on wiki hosted together,
better than Scary Transclusions does] (TransArticle got canceled, trying
to do it in an article way didn't work out right
RemoteMagic [Similar magic words to ones like {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} which
grab data from a remote wiki]
AJAXRC [External tool for doing lightweight live RC on multiple wiki,
99.9% client based]
SpamDelete [Deletes individual revisions and moves them to a specified
"Trash" title to avoid cluttering up the deleted history of an article
with revisions which cause issues when a page needs to be partially
deleted at a later date.]
AggregatedAttributionTransposer [Similar to Extension:ChangeAuthor,
except it's meant to use the JobQue to reattribute a large number of
edits (ie: Every revision made by a single user), without causing a lot
of server load by doing the entire thing at once.]))
^_^ but off my semi-programmed extensions list...
I haven't been able to get a good place to work on any of them.
Me and JaeSharp used to have a site (Wiki-Tools.com as listed in my
sig), which is now unfortunately offline and probably won't come back.
Local servers aren't working that well for me, and it's going to be ages
before I get a Laptop.
I have been doing some Wikia oriented things... Unfortunately, no-one is
getting around to making the Wikia Volunteer Development server to work
at all.
So, my long e-mail cut short with the short version...
Anyone know of a good way for me to find a place to develop MediaWiki
extensions, test them, distribute them, and allow users to make use of them.
I looked at the Wikimedia toolservers, but it looks like there was some
notion of just Tools, not MediaWiki Extensions being done on there.

Hey List,
Once my site is completed, how can I delete all my logs and User
contributions to prevent the site
getting rolled back to a template that was still being designed?
