Change to Interwiki in 1.12.x
by Gordon Joly 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

I notice that "iw_url" has changed from a char(127) to a blob (was this in 1.12.x or before?). Running update.php leaves everything as it was before, but a fresh install produces the new table structure (with a blob for the URL). Both seem to work, but I am concerned about how to move to the new table structure (table interwiki). Any pointers? Cheers!

LDAP-Error: Can't contact LDAP server
by Russell, Elizabeth 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

My predecessor setup the LDAP extension, with the stub in LocalSettings.php, setting it up so that authentication with Active Directory server is required to edit our site. Anybody can read it without authentication (internal use only though). The LDAP server where we are doing our authentication had to change certificate, and now when user attempts to login for edit purposes they get Login error: Incorrect password entered. Please try again. When I turn on LDAPDebug = 3 I get a bunch of messages, ending in: Binding as the user<br> Failed to bind as user(a)domain.name<br <mailto:earussel@<br> > LDAP-Errorno: -1<br> LDAP-Error: Can't contact LDAP server I've got the new certificate downloaded from the server, but I can't figure out where to put it and for sure what format. Anybody else had to deal with this yet? Thanks, Beth

OT: Help and discussion for new Wikipedia DE authors
by Simon Jolle sjolle 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Hi Mediawiki admins I am a new contributer to the de.wikipedia.org. I thought before self-hosting I should learn basic user knowledge. As a newbie I have a couple of questions in authoring (about category tags, wikitext, etc). I didn't found any mailing list or a web-based forum for that kind of questions. How do I receive help? cheers Simon

dependencies woes with Debian MediaWiki package

Hi MediaWiki Admins I have here VDS with minimal Debian installation. Why Debian wish to install me Firefox, Gnome/GTK+ components, X11 components, Latex, Sound server, portmap, quite enough libraries etc. Does MediaWiki really have that much dependencies? Do I really need 671 MB wasted diskspace for a PHP/MySQL web application? # aptitude install mediawiki mediawiki-extensions Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...

Wie kann ich eine Box kreieren bzw mehrere Spalten erzeugen
by Christian Schneider 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Ich bin relativ neu hier und soll für eine Usergruppe ein Wiki aufsetzen. Der Anfang war ziemlich einfach, aber nun kommen Fragen, welche ich auch mit Hilfe von Doku nicht beantworten kann: Wie kann ich eine Box generieren (Beispiel orange Box auf http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Add_Metas) oder wie kann ich mehrere Spalten auf meiner Mainpage haben (Beispiel http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hauptseite) Das formatieren via Tabelle habe ich bereits gelesen und studiert, aber es müsste doch bestimmt eine einfachere Möglichkeit geben... Danke und Grüsse Christian Schneider

images in extended wiki markup
by Bin Hu 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to include svg in mediawiki? I wrote some hook function to process a special markup, which returns something like this: $svg = '<div><object data="images/test.svg" width=100% height=100% type="image/svg+xml"/></div>'; return ($svg); In the page view this code brings me to the new page: Images/test.svg test.svg does exist in images directory. I guess the path in PHP is incorrect? Can anyone point me out the error I made? Thanks. Bin
