Create your emails from 0. Your message was attached to a lengthy thread, so it was harder to found out. 1. Edit [[Mediawiki:monobook.css]] and set there the needed CSS attributes (the defaults are at file skins/monobook/main.css). 2. By default clicking on the logo sends you to the page specified at Mediawiki:mainpage. If you want a full URL, you'll need to edit skins/MonoBook.php At line 147 there's ?>href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($this->data['nav_urls']['mainpage']['href'])?>"<?php change that to ?>href="http://www.example.com/"<?php 3. Which wikipedia welcome page? It's the usual monobook skin You can insert a search box in a wiki page with <inputbox> http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Inputbox 4. There're two basic ways to have multiple languages in mediawiki. Use language codes to subpages (eg. Main_Page/fr, which can also be available as Accueil) Or using a wiki per language (as it's done with the wikipedias).

Alternatives to FileLink-Extension?
by Kämtner, Daniel 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Hi Katharina, Since yesterday, I´m working on a solution and I guess I´ll finish the intigration into mediawiki 1.11.1, in the next two days. I have the same problem, that you have and since I saw your "FileLink.Extention" I willing to find a way for mediawiki 1.11.1 I guess it shoud work under 1.11.0 too. Regards Daniel Hi All, as there seems to be nobody willing or able to make the FileLink-Extension http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FileLink work with MediaWiki 1.11.0 I'm now looking for an alternative to this Extension for easy inclusion of links to local files, preferably through a windows-like-search-gui through wich the local file can be selected. Does anybody know of such an extension? Mit freundlichen Gr??en Katharina Wolkwitz Fachhochschule S?dwestfalen Hochschulbibliothek Haldener Stra?e 182 58095 Hagen Tel.: 02331/987-2706

four basics I am lost with.
by JFC Morfin 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

I try to do four probably basic things but not being a PHP/JS dedicated programmer I do not succeed. I wish to : 1. replace the Monobook backgound image (and color if it goes with it). 2. click on the logo and reach an external URL or 3. a full page with search and menu as the Wikipedia welcome page. 4. get a working example of a bi/multilingual configuration or an how-to I can understand (not the different options, just a complete sample). When my site is OK I plan to make it a configuration on a USB key with its own generation program, so everyone can install an operational multilingual wiki based system in minutes. Thank you for your help ! jfc

How to use hooks in extension, so that existing formatting between newly defined tags is kept
by Peter P GMX 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

I have the following issue: for a private wiki I want to display some part of the content only to registered users. So I created an extension with a <hide></hide> tag in order to suppress all content between these tags for non registered users and display "(hidden)" instead. It works fine so far except that most of the normal Wiki formatting between these Tags (mainly Links) ist lost. How can I achieve that formatting is kept? I played around with ParserBeforeTidy ParserAfterTidy ParserAfterStrip ParserBeforeStrip InternalParseBeforeLinks ParserBeforeInternalParse But - either the tags are visible and suppression doesn't work or - most of the normal Wiki formatting between these Tags (mainly Links) ist lost. Any hints? With kind regards Peter

Ajax image adder
by Adam Meyer 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

So I took my ajax link search and made an image search. http://risdpedia.net/interface/grid/ It's a little crazy right now. But I have some plans to make this really nice. How it will work, is a popup window will come up and allow you to select an image, or just type in the name. You can select the formatting width, and all. It will do all the syntax for you. let me know what you would like to see happen with this. -Adam

Problem with watch list
by Philip Beach 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Hello all, Users on my wiki are complaining of a problem with the watchlist. "I appear to be having problems with my watchlist. Occasionally I notice articles that are changed are not appearing on my watchlist. It appears to be articles which have been protected. Protected articles that I put on my watchlist, or that I edit, are okay, but articles that I already have on my watchlist that are then protected don't appear, at least sometimes (until I edit them again)." Does anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks

Make a Title object from URL
by Paul Grinberg 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Hello, I am writing an extension where the user can pass in either a wiki title (i.e. "Some page", "Category:Something") or a full URL (i.e. "http://my.domain.com/prefix/Some_page", "http://my.domain.com/prefix/Category:Something"). I would like to be able to take the user's input in either form and get a Title object out of it. I can process the user input in regular wiki title form by using newFromText() method, but I cannot figure out how to do the same for the URL method (newFromURL() method does not seem to work). The idea is that regardless of what input format the user provides, I should be able to get the proper wiki Title for the page.

Installation Script
by Adrian Clark 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

I am setting up a new installation of MediaWiki 1.11.0 When running the installation script at /config I get 'Checking environment. Please include. and then PHP 5.2.3 installed. And that is it. I read the FAQ and inserted the additional php code for error checking but I have not received any errors. Any ideas? I have PHP, MySQL 4.1.22, and I am running IIS. -- Adrian Clark BIT Marine Software, Inc. Email: aclark(a)bitmarine.com Phone: (865) 686-6467 Fax: (954) 678-1041
