autodeployment of content and images to MediaWiki
by Linda Rose 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Hi I am using ePublisher 2008.3 to output and deploy content to MediaWiki. I am able to get the content automatically deployed; however, none of the images deploy automatically. I am presented with a manual upload at the point in the wiki where the image is to appear. I can manually upload the image but that is not an option with the amount of content we are planning to deploy on a regular basis. Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing that needs to be set to allow image files to be deployed to Media Wiki? Background: Quadralay's ePublisher is a tool that transforms Framemaker source files to MediaWiki output and deploys the files to the wiki site. ePublisher employs a custom client that uses the MediaWiki API to push the pages to the MediaWiki instance. The MediaWiki instance is 1.12.1 Software: Windows Server 2003 SP2 (32-bit), MySQL 5.0.24, PHP 5.2.6.6 , IIS 6.0 Thanks for your help. Linda

Invalid job command `refreshLinks
by Momma 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

Hello, I get the following error after I import certain pages/templates from Wikipedia. After the import, no matter what link in my wiki I try to execute, I get the following error. Invalid job command `refreshLinks Backtrace: #0 /home/wiki/public_html/includes/JobQueue.php(163): Job::factory('refreshLinks???...', Object(Title), '', '122') #1 /home/wiki/public_html/includes/Wiki.php(388): Job::pop() #2 /home/wiki/public_html/includes/Wiki.php(333): MediaWiki->doJobs() #3 /home/wiki/public_html/index.php(94): MediaWiki->finalCleanup(Array, Object(OutputPage)) #4 {main} I eventually used the batchDelete.php to remove the pages that were just imported and all went back to normal. I googled this error and could find nothing. One specific example: I was following the instructions at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Copying. Right after importing the XML file, I received the aforementioned error. I used delateBatch.php to remove all Help:* files and it removed the error. Second example: I copied the source from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Fact&action=edit into Template:Fact on my wiki and boom. Deleting the template fixed the problem. System Specs: MediaWiki 1.13.2 PHP 5.2.5 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.0.67-community OS RHE 3 Intel 32-bit Appreciate any guidance....

Any way to get rid of numbering in Contents?
by Russell, Elizabeth 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

Is there any way to get rid of the numbering in the table of contents displayed at the top of each article? Some of our articles have numeric characters at the start of their title and subheadings, and it gets confusing when the TOC automatically adds numbers to the front end also. We would still like to see the outline format with indentions, but just without the numbering system. Thanks, Beth P.S. I was trying a new option in Outlook the first time I attempted to post. Very unfriendly for posting to forums apparently. Sorry about the hassle of posting twice.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Tables
by Walter Mazza 26 Nov '08

Personally, I use WikEd <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cacycle/wikEd> ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cacycle/wikEd) to convert tables I create in MS Excel or Word. All that needs to be done is create your table in one of these office programs, copy/paste it to the wiki page you want it on and click the [W] button ("Convert pasted text to wiki code and update highlighting") in the menu. This usually converts my table to perfect wiki code, and its only the minor stuff that I need to fix (adding classes, etc). -- Walter Mazza -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of DESLIPPE, MICHAEL CIV DCMA CIV DFAS Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 11:05 AM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Tables Is there a simple way to make tables in Mediawiki?

What links here not missing some links.
by Beebe, Mary J 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

One of our version 1.9.2 wikis has an incomplete list within "what links here." I found a maintenance script called rebuildall.php that may solve the problem. Is this the script that I should run to fix the problem and is it stable within version 1.9.2? Thanks, Mary Beebe

Fully automated, scripted install
by Florent Georges 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

Hi, I'd like to write a script to fully automate the install of Mediawiki on my machine in order to ease recovery in case of crash. Unfortunately, all the install instructions I've seen so far involve running manually the script using forms to get info, described at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Config_script. Is there a documentation about this? Is it enough to follow http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki and copy the LocalSettings.php I've got during my first install? Or are there any other steps carried out by the script? Regards, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/
