Completely changing the Image: and Media: functionality
by Daniel Barrett 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

At my company, we are thinking about replacing MediaWiki's uploaded file tree (/w/images) with a third-party content management system (CMS), as transparently as possible. An example might be a subversion repository, WebDAV system, or Microsoft SharePoint. What would people recommend as the most MW-compatible way to do this, using extensions when possible, likely to survive MW updates, and without making big changes to the core MediaWiki source code? I think the major integration points are: - Image pages (e.g., Image:Foobar.jpg), which must retrieve the uploaded file and the revision history from the CMS - Image links, e.g., [[Image:Foobar.jpg]], which must retrieve the uploaded file from the CMS - Media links, which must access the uploaded file within the CMS and render a useful link - Special:Upload, which must add new revisions to the CMS - The various other File-related special pages like Special:Imagelist, Special:Newimages, etc. I see a few helpful hooks: ImageOpenShowImageInlineBefore in ImagePage.php, BadImage in ImageFunctions.php, BeforeParserrenderImageGallery and BeforeParserMakeImageLinkObj in Parser.php, etc. I am comfortable adding new hooks, but if possible would like not to make any other core code modifications. Thanks for any tips. DanB

Command line config script.
by Egor Zh 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

Hello All, To automatize mediawiki installation I need command line script, with functionality like config/index.php script(i.e. creation databases etc). But without any interaction with user and access from command line - not web server. I've already have LocalSettings.php with configured database access. It should be similar to SMW_setup.php script for SemanticMedia wiki extension or SemanticMediaWiki Halo extension. May be such script already exists, or installation action can be performed with some combination of scripts in maintance folder? Thanks, Egor

Edit link in returnto
by Javier Bezos 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

Hi all, I'm trying to add an edit link in the returnto message, after logging in, but until now I've found no solution without patching OutputPage. I've tried tags and magic words out, but they get expanded before $1 is replaced by its value. Is it possible to add it without hacking a MadiaWiki file? Javier PS. BTW, the code is the following: public function addReturnTo( $title ) { global $wgUser; // Wikilengua: añadido parámetro con edit. if ( $title != 'Portada' and $wgUser->isLoggedIn() ) { // O isAllowed('edit')? $elink = ' (' . $wgUser->getSkin()->makeLinkObj( $title, 'editar', 'action=edit' ) . ')'; } else { $elink = ''; } $link = wfMsg( 'returnto', $wgUser->getSkin()->makeLinkObj( $title ) . $elink ); $this->addHtml( "<p>{$link}</p>\n" ); }

>>Does the server have mod_security enabled? It is known to block some words, paranoically thinking it's an injection attack. How check that?

Debugging mediawiki with curl?
by Daniel Barrett 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

I'm trying to use "curl" to perform article edits and saves so I can reproduce an intermittent problem. (PHP is producing hanging processes when invoking external programs via "cmd", on Windows 2003 Server.) Each time I try, I get the mediawiki error: "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in." Here's what I'm trying, based on the current cookies in my browser and the form fields on the edit page. Any tips? Any better way to do this? curl \ -c 'wikidb_vpw_UserName=Jsmith' \ -c 'wikidb_vpw_UserID=5' \ -c 'wikidb_vpw_LoggedOut=20080317144239' \ -c 'wikidb_vpw_Token=<my current token goes here>' \ -c 'wikidb_vpw__session=<my current session goes here>' \ -F 'wpTextbox1=(a)debug-php-hangs.txt' \ -F 'wpSection=' \ -F 'wpStarttime=20080317162446' \ -F 'wpEdittime=20080317162432' \ -F 'wpScrolltop=' \ -F 'wpSummary=bughunt' \ http://mywiki.com/w/index.php?title=mypage&action=submit Thanks, DanB

question about meta name "keywords" and "robots" in special pages
by Jay Fang 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Dear all, It seems that the default behavior for special pages's HTML text in terms of meta name "keywords" and "robots" is that there is no meta name for keywords, and the meta name for robots is <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" /> for meta name robots. This makes a lot of sense. However, in my case, I have some special pages ( http://ChinaTravelGuide.com/ctgwiki/Special:CNExchangeSearch, http://ChinaTravelGuide.com/ctgwiki/Special:CNWeatherSearch, etc.) that I prefer to have them indexed with following links, as well as with meta name keywords. It looks like I can overwrite the robot policy in a specific special page by doing $wgOut->setRobotPolicy( "index,follow" ); but I was wondering if folks here know how to turn on "keywords" meta name before I dig deeper into the source code. I'd perfer not to touch Mediawiki source code for future upgrade reasons. Thanks for the advice. Jay Fang ChinaTravelGuide.com

Change the default redirection (from ourdomain.com to IP address)
by András Dombovári 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Hello, We moved our site to a new server. The previous MediaWiki install was from the 1.4.x series. On the new server I installed 1.12.x. I am trying to log into the old server's Wiki, but I keep getting redirected to our domain name. I would like to stay on the old server (which is not under our domain name anymore). What I mean, is that I am typing our old server's IP address in the web browser "http://XX.XX.XX.XX/MediaWiki/", but I am getting forwarded to "http://www.ourwebsite.com/MediaWiki/index.php" Is there a way to force MediaWiki to stay on the server and forward me to "http://XX.XX.XX.XX/MediaWiki/index.php")? After reading the documentation I tried using $wgServer and $wgServerName variables and setting those both to XX.XX.XX.XX $wgServer = 'http://66.29.53.175'; $wgServerName = 'http://66.29.53.175'; Unfortunately it did not work. I am still getting forwarded to our domain name. How could I access our old MW install on the old server? Thank you, Andras

Strange problem with search
by Jack Eapen C 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Hi All, I'hv a strange problem with my MW 1.11. I have a test version on my local Windows machine and the live one on a linux server (intranet). I don't know when this problem started coming-not sure whether it has been there since beginning or it started after some changes. When I search with SOME keywords, my production wiki returns a "blank" page. If I use the same words on the test wiki, no probs-results are returned (content in both wikis are same). Some of the problematic words are "transaction" (transaction backout has no problem), function, cards (plastic cards is fine), account etc. I tried to reproduce the problem in the test wiki by copying SearchEngine.php, SearchMySQL.php,SearchMySQL4.php,SpecialSearch.php files from live wiki to my test wiki- but the test wiki still runs fine. Any idea for the possible cause and solutions?
