How to use the <pdf> tag ?
by Frames Project 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

Hello I wanted to include a pdf file into a wiki page. I tried to install the extension pdf.php http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PDF 1. I added the following line to LocalSettings.php require_once("$IP/extensions/pdf.php"); 2. I copied the code mediawiki/extensions/into pdf.php Now the documentation is so laconic that it do not really know what to do. I did <pdf>t.pdf</pdf> and I got Error: The file " t.pdf " was not recognized as pdf. The file extension must be .pdf. Which is wrong. Could someone tell me how to use this extension ? Thanks François Colonna

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. 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. 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.

New Password E-Mails Bounce, BUT Mod Notification E-Mails send successfullly
by Tonnis Wildeboer 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

What is the difference between the way e-mails are sent for new passwords vs. the way they are sent for modification notifications? The latter are being sent successfully while the former always bounce. Here is a line showing the bounce from the mail log: .... Oct 13 14:35:16 ascari postfix/smtp[5305]: 8141C3BA035: to=<someone(a)mycompany.com>, relay=mycompany.com[74.220.207.117]:25, delay=1, delays=0.03/0/0.68/0.3, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host mycompany.com[74.220.207..117] said: 550 Administrative prohibition (in reply to end of DATA command)) .... FYI, a simple php mail() command is successful, so that works too. We are running MediaWiki 1.11.2-2 on Ubuntu 7.10. Thanks in advance, Tonnis

MediaWiki 1.12.1 Issue
by Russ Lavoy 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

After upgrading my 1.12.0 version to 1.12.1 version everything broke with amazing server overloads... I see that the 1.12.1 patch file includes changes to how mediawiki uses memcached and this changed destroyed the site I am over... Any time I tried to bring up the site all the apache processes start flowing in and the frontend webservers hit about 30 load (Linux terms) in less than 2 minutes... I use APC and memcached and have not had an issue with previous upgrades (from 1.9 to now 1.12 currently). But the 1.12.1 upgrade was fine in my staging enviornment and everything worked. But once I put into production and it got a good load... It blew up and would no longer respond. No other upgrades happened during this time. PHP is the same, mysql is the same and so is apache... The only thing I changed was the mediawiki version... I got around this issue by reverting back to 1.12.0 which I did not want to do with the current security patch that is out there... Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks

FSRepo - wgForeignFileRepos
by thdemon 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

Hi, I want to use a folder with images in my MW installation and found the variable $wgForeignFileRepos [1]. But I don't know how to add an simple folder without an API or Database ... something like the following: $wgForeignFileRepos[] = array( 'class' => 'FSRepo', 'name' => 'shared2FSRepo ', 'directory' => '/srv/images/', 'url' => 'http://myhost.ltd/images/' ); Maybe someone may add examples for the other "classes" ... LocalRepo, ForeignDBRepo, FSRepo and ForeignAPIRepo. ... to the existing one for Commons ? best regards Thomas _________ [1] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgForeignFileRepos
