How to clean up broken links
by eric27 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Hello, I've imported files in a new mediawiki, but as I did not import all articles, I'm stuck with a lot of broken links (red indicated links). Is there a way to clean up these links (without importing the missing articles)? Or is there a way to clean import pages (without links)? Thx, Eric -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-clean-up-broken-links-tp16351811p16351811.html Sent from the WikiMedia General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Password and Software help
by Walken 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Hi, I searched through the board but I couldn't find an answer to this, sorry if its been covered already, I'm brand new to this. I have a group of around 100 people, and I would like to make it so that they are the only ones who can view and edit the wiki, how can I do this? Is there a setting where I can review the email addresses of people that create accounts on the wiki, before they are allowed to view anything except the homepage or edit anything? Also, a friend of mine downloaded the software and installed it on his computer before putting it on his website. I'm basiclly the one incharge of the wiki (God help us all), is this going to cause me problems as the admin? Thanks for any help.

Quick PHP upgrade question – Can mediawiki 1.6.10 run on PHP 5? We have a mediawiki version 1.6.10 running on PHP 4.47. I just got an email from the hosting company saying they are going to upgrade us to PHP5. Just wanted to check that nothing will "break" from that move. Thanks a lot in advance! Itay

Extension pdfbook problem
by Günter Gratzer 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Hi, anyone tried [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}|action=pdfbook}} download this selection of articles as a PDF book] in a wiki page to generate a PDF from an article? I don't get it work. The temporary HTML file is always empty. If I enter a URL like this http://www.foo.bar/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Foo&action=pdfbook <http://www.foo.bar/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Foo&action=pdfbook> a pdf file will be generated. With title it doesn't. I'm using Media Wiki 1.11.0, Pdf Book 0.0.9, HTMLDOC 1.8.27 Günter

disable $wgEnableParserCache for some pages
by Sylvain Machefert 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Hello, I've an extension which works very well when cache is disabled. If I put : $wgEnableParserCache = false; in LocalSettings, it works very well, but the performances of the website decrease. I'd like to set this to false *only* for pages which include my extension. In the extension, I tried $wgTitle->invalidateCache(); which make a purge, but the new generated page is stored in the cache, and I don't want. As I don't know which page will have this extension, I can't make a ugly hack in LocalSettings if (the url contains "MyPage1" or "PageWithTheExtension" ) { $wgEnableParserCache = false; } My extension is a form mailer. <formmailer>tags to create the fields of the form</formmailer> The form is submitted (method=post) to /index.php?title=ThePage&action=purge&randomnumber which purges and void client-side cache the extension tag check if it get some data posted. If posted then check they are valid (correct email, no missing informations...). If ok, send the mail and display "Thank you, the mail was sent" else if error displays the error (requiried field, bad format...) and the form. if go to another page of the wiki, and then go later to ThePage (short url http://.../ThePage I see the content of the last posted data (ie I see "thank you, mail sent" or "errors + the form". so I want to NEVER put in cache this page, as if I set $wgEnableParserCache = false in LocalSettings. Any ideas ? -- Sylvain Machefert http://www.tousauxbalkans.net http://iubito.free.fr/blog/

Pagetitle Encoding Problems (Chinese) after Move & Upgrade of MediaWiki
by matsch＠rockinchina.com 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

Hi, I upgraded MediaWiki and moved Servers from OLD-Server *MediaWiki: 1.6.8 *PHP: 4.3.10-22 (cgi-fcgi) *MySQL: 4.1.11-Debian_4sarge7-log *URL: http://web125.burns.kundenserver42.de/rockinchina/wiki/ to NEW-Server *MediaWiki: 1.12.0 *PHP: 5.2.4 (cgi) *MySQL: 4.1.13 *URL: http://wiki.rockinchina.com/ After that I have problems with non-ASCII characters in page titles - mainly Chinese characters but also Umlauts and the like. I exported the complete database via phpMyAdmin 2.11.0-rc1 on the old server and imported it via mysql command line. Settings for collation on database and tables seem to be the same. Files have been moved completely and then upgraded to the new version. So the problem is that pages with Chinese (and other non-ASCII character) titles are broken. An example can be seen here: * Old/Good: http://web125.burns.kundenserver42.de/rockinchina/wiki/index.php?title=Badh… * New/Broken: http://wiki.rockinchina.com/index.php?title=Badhead_3_%C3%A8%C5%A0%C2%B1%C3… The pages show up wrong in category lists and links to these pages are broken. Does anyone know where the problems comes from and how I can work around it? Any pointers would be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot! matsch

Generating and automatic, time-sensitive page history
by Matt 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

Is there a way to generate an automatic, time-sensitive page history without sending users to the history page to choose the versions they want to compare? We are looking for a way to provide a page change summary - for example, something that shows the changes made to a page in the last 24 hours - that does not require any user input or action (other than navigating to/viewing the page) to create. Thanks, Matt

Templates, tables, and #if:
by Henry Hartley 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

Sorry for the longish question but I wanted to give as much detail as possible. MediaWiki 1.11.1 CentOS 5.1 MySQL 5.0.22-2.2.el5 PHP 5.1.6.15.el5 I'm having trouble building what seems like a fairly simple template. I've read documentation, I've looked at examples, I've even copied templates from other sites but it's not working. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I have simplified my template to isolate the problem. So, I have a template called Person-Simple that looks like this: <includeonly>{| class="infobox" border="1" |- ! align="center" colspan="2" border="1" |'''{{{Name}}}''' |- {{#if:{{{Sex}}}| ! border="1"{{!}}Sex: {{!}} {{{Sex}}} |- {{#if:{{{Birth}}}| ! border="1"{{!}}Birth: {{!}} {{{Birth}}} |- ! border="1"|Death: | {{{Death}}} |}</includeonly> This template gets four parameters: Name, Sex, Birth, and Death. Two of them are (or should be) conditional. That is, if there is no value for either Sex or Birth, that row should not show up in the table. Death will show up either way, since I left out the #if statement. In a page, I have code to call the template as follows: {{Person-Simple |Name =John Doe |Sex =Male |Birth = |Death = }} Note that neither Birth nor Death have values (there are no spaces after the equal signs, if that matters). If the template were coded correctly, this would produce a table with the name spanning two columns, then two rows, one with "Sex: Male" and another with "Death: ". However, the Birth row, which shouldn't show up, does. One thing is that the {{#if: statements do not seem to have closing }}. I tried adding them, however, and they simply show up on the page. That's obviously not right, either. Does an {{#if: statement need to be all on one line? It doesn't seem so. In any case, when I use these instead of the above, they don't show up whether they have values or not. Putting the trailing }} on these now seems to have no effect. |- {{#if:{{{Sex}}}|! border="1"{{!}}Sex: {{!}}{{!}} {{{Sex}}} |- {{#if:{{{Birth}}}|! border="1"{{!}}Birth: {{!}}{{!}} {{{Birth}}} }} I also tried copying code from a template on another site. Their lines look like this: |- {{#if:{{{Sex|}}}| ! Sex: {{!}} {{{Sex}}}}} |- {{#if:{{{Birth|}}}| ! Birth: {{!}} {{{Birth}}}}} That makes sense to me but when I paste it into my template, it produces table rows whether there are values or not. In the Sex: row, in the right hand column, it has "Male}}" while the Birth: row has "}}". So, it appears to be printing the closing }} from the {{#if: statement. Not only that, but outside the table I have: {{#if:Male| {{#if:| Note that the related code for Birth does not show up like that. This template seems to work on the site I took it from (http://genealogy.wikia.com/). I feel like I'm close but I'm pulling my hair out trying to get it working. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong? Or, perhaps more to the point, how to do it right? Thanks for your time. -- Henry
