When I edit a page all images get changed (wrapped)?
by hanbe325 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Hi, I have just started setting up a wiki and have come across a weird error. Note I'm using the FCKeditor. When I create a link to an image every thing works fine and if I examine the page as wiki test I see the following link displayed [[Image:Star.jpg]]<br> (Where Star.jpg is the image I want) If I save and exit every thing is perfect. However if I ever go back and edit that page, i.e. just hit the edit button adn then the save button the images get wrapped in some weird text. The link gets changed, to the following words appear. [[/index.php/Image:Star.jpg|[[Image:|Image:Star.jpg]]]] Any ideas? Sorry I am really new to this so not sure whats going on. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/When-I-edit-a-page-all-images-get-changed-%28wrapped%… Sent from the WikiMedia General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Navigation
by Jim Sutton 20 Jan '08

Hi To add 'All pages' to the MediaWiki navigation bar should I just add: Special:Allpages|allpages to the MediaWiki:Sidebar ? Is Special:Allpages|allpages the correct format for adding a link to the navigation? It works but is there a better/more efficient way of writing Special:Allpages|allpages ? Thanks for any help you can give. Jim

Searching
by Chris Russo 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Hi all, I am interested in changing up the search -> creation page functionality of my personal mediawiki install. I have added a table into the my wiki DB that I would like to check against before allowing users to add pages to the wiki. For example, let's say I was making a nintendo game wiki , and had a table with all of the games nintendo ever created. I would like users to only be able to add and edit a page that matched up with the title of the game that resides in the db table. I would like a search to return close matches (LIKE) and only allow users to select one of the options returned. This would of course have to also manage the user manually entering a create string in the URL. For those much more knowledgeable please point me in the right direction for the cleanest way of doing this. Thanks in advance for the help. - Chris

Wiki Creole grammar, schema, transformations made available
by Dirk Riehle 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

For those who were interested in a Mediawiki grammar etc, here is a first step: -------- For research purposes as well as the Wiki Creole community's convenience, we are making our EBNF grammar, the XML schema definition, and the to/from XML transformations available. You can use these specifications to create your own parsers as well as use standard technology (DOM, XSLT) to work with wiki pages and display or save them. For more, see the dedicated Wiki Creole page at http://www.riehle.org/wiki-creole as well as the WikiCreole community at http://www.wikicreole.com Dirk -- Phone: + 1 (650) 215 3459 Web: http://www.riehle.org

Thumbs problem after upgrade to 1.12alpha
by Samuel Lampa 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

I upgraded from 1.10 to 1.12alpha phase3 (checked out from 2008-01-14). Now thumbnails are being created in the thumb directory but not shown from there. Instead only some images are shown, and if they are shown they are shown via the thumb.php file only, even though the thumbnail is created in the thumb directory (a new one is created if I delete it and refresh the article). And when visiting any image article, the image itself is not shown on that page, only links to the original images (which works). I tried all the tips at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Upgrading_MediaWiki#Broken_Images without success. I know 1.12 is not released as a "release" yet, but just looking for any hints. Details about my upgrade process: * I kept the Localsettings file from my previous installation. I just switched to using another mw install directory, and changed Apache's vhosts file to point to that folder. * The images folder for my site is located outside the mediawiki install folder, and is linked to from images/my-domain-name with a softlink (ln -s ...), so when upgrading I just created another soft link, from the new mw-install-directory/images/my-domain-name to that same images folder. * I've checked that all the images folders (including /temp, /archive and /thumb) have 777 rights, and have owner www-data:www-data I'm running Ubuntu Server 6.06 LTS, With Apache2 and PHP 5.1.2 Best Regards Samuel

Is there a configuration setting that allows one to display the user_real_name instead of the user_name e.g. in the login name, history pages? Thanks, -Carlos

Upgrade 1.10.1->1.11.0 new png images broke.
by Don Krause 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

I just upgraded from 1.10.1 to 1.11.0, and I can no longer see new png files. Old pngs work fine, but new ones now get a link instead of the actual image. ie: [[Image:test.jpg]] shows the test.jpg on the page (as expected), but [[Image:test.png]] puts "Image:Test.png" as a link to the images special page. The image doesn't show up on /mediawiki/index.php/Image:Test.png either, but I can view it, or download it from there. Did I miss something during the upgrade? Are PNGs different now. Everything else appears to function correctly. Thanks =Don=

Short URL partly broken after upgrade from 1.10.0 to 1.11.0
by zaydo 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Hi, i just upgraded from 1.10.0 to 1.11.0 and have to see, that short URLs aren't working anymore when I try to edit an article. Example: I can open the article http://www.t4-wiki.de/wiki/WIV When I click on "bearbeiten" (= edit) the URL is changed to http://www.t4-wiki.de/wiki/index.php?title=WIV&action=edit and the software is trying to edit index.php instead of WIV. Similar problem, if I try to log in/out. The software puts an index.php?titel= between die Wiki-URL and the special: http://www.t4-wiki.de/wiki/index.php?title=special:... Result: no login/out possible. For short URL I use the following setup in localsettings.php: $wgSitename = "T4-Wiki"; $wgScriptPath = "/wiki"; $wgScript = "$wgScriptPath/index.php"; $wgRedirectScript = "$wgScriptPath/redirect.php"; $wgArticlePath = "$wgScriptPath/$1"; htaccess in /wiki: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA] Please, help me, Udo -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Short-URL-partly-broken-after-upgrade-from-1.10.0-to-… Sent from the WikiMedia General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
