Hi, I need to open links from MediaWiki in an external window with a specific size. I used to use JavaScript but afaics JS is not supported by default. Before I start installing any extensions is it possible with MediaWiki? The script looks like this: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>vpe Intranet</title> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">  </script> </head> - <a href="javascript:PopupWindow('/subwebs/3rdfloor.php','width=1050,height=730')">3. OG</a><br> - <a href="javascript:PopupWindow('/subwebs/4rdfloor.php','width=820,height=420')">4. OG</a><br> - <a href="javascript:PopupWindow('/subwebs/garage.html','width=800,height=680')">Garage</a><br> </body> </html> Thanks, Helmut -- No Swen today, my love has gone away My mailbox stands for lorn, a symbol of the dawn

how to put an internal link to special pages with arguments.
by Jay Fang 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

Thanks, *jidanni. *The fullurl does work. Is there anyway to specify the anchor tag link text (prefer not to show http://.......)? *{{fullurl:Special:CNTrainSearch|via=Anqing}}* Also it seems the external link looks better. *[http://ChinaTravelGuide.com/ctgwiki/Special:CNTrainSearch?via=Anqing My displayed link text]* ** Appreciate your time.

Stumped by Email Notification Issue
by Robert Belknap 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

Hello, I'm currently trying to configure a list of users to be notified on all changes to a wiki using a setting which appears to have been added to MediaWiki 1.10.0: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgUsersNotifedOnAllChanges I've added the following line to my LocalSettings.php: $wgUsersNotifiedOnAllChanges = array('user1','user2','user3'); (where user1, user2, user3 are replaced with actual user names) I've also verified that the following lines are also in my LocalSettings.phpfile $wgEnotifWatchlist = true; $wgEmailAuthentication = true; I have verified that the usernames in the array match the entries in the user table in the Database, and that normal email notifications are working properly for items in my watchlist (my username is one that I want to have notified on any change to the wiki.) However, I am not notified about edits made (by me, and by others) to pages that I am not watching. No one else listed in the $wgUsersNotifiedOnAllChanges array is receiving these notifications, either. I've tried searching for this issue on the mailing list archive, the mediawiki.org help and manual sections, mwusers.com and on google, but all I've come across so far are issues where notifications are not being sent at all. The issue I'm having appears to be different, since normal watchlist update notifications, email reset messages, and the like are working normally. Does anyone have any ideas about what I may be missing here? Information about my server setup: MediaWiki: 1.11.0 PHP: 5.1.6 (apache2handler) MySQL: 5.0.22 Apache/2.0.52 CentOS 4.4 Thanks, -Robert

how to create a custom namespace with special content (like categories) ?
by Sylvain Machefert 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

Hello, I know how to add a new namespace, that's OK. But I'd like this namespace behave like categories : if I call MyNamespace:Foobar, if this page doesn't exist, I'd like to display an automatically generated content, for instance <my_extension>blabla</my_extension> I don't want to display a list of articles as if it were a category, I'd like to know the way to generate automatic content for non-existing (or all) pages in this namespace. -- Sylvain Machefert http://www.tousauxbalkans.net http://iubito.free.fr/blog/

Version page weirdness...
by GerBNL 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

Hi, i'd like some idea's on how to fix a (minor?) weirdness i'm experiencing. I have installed a wiki on my Mac (OS X 10.4.11 ) Mediawiki 1.11.1, php 5.2.1, mysql 5.0.51a and a nearly exact copy on an ubuntu 7.10 server (running in a virtual machine) (all that is different is localsettings.php) Mediawiki 1.11.1, php 5.2.3-1, mysql 5.0.45 I've installed some extensions in the wiki and *some* will show a proper date in the Special:Version page and *some* show "Version $LastChangedDate$)" (oh, and they are all *stable* extensions and they don't show this behavior on, say, wikipedia (that uses the very same extensions) This happens on *both* wiki's! so it must be something I did!. Even though the extensions themselves seem to function properly i'd really like it corrected. this really baffles me! any insights? Thanks! :-)

Welcome to mediawiki-l. This mailing list exists for discussion and questions about the MediaWiki software[0]. 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.

Embed Special:Random
by Helmut Schneider 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

Hi, I would like to display a random page on the Main Page. I tried to use {{Special:Random}} and {{Special:Randompage}} which only displays the link to Special:Random[page] but not a page itself. Is it possible to embed Special:Random at all? Thanks, Helmut -- No Swen today, my love has gone away My mailbox stands for lorn, a symbol of the dawn
