SocialProfile Extention
by Andrew Thornton 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Has anyone had much success with the SocialProfile extension? In particular I am interested in what needs to be done to get all of the functionality of UserStats to work. My current environment is an svn installation of SocialProfile on 1.12.0. I see some updates are being made to the user_stats table, but not stats_edit_count, etc. I would love any tips or advice.

Problems with new Mediawiki 1.12 install.
by John W Foster 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

I recently installed another Mediawiki "testste" to practice on. I have not really added any content and it was installed from the download site at Mediawiki.com so it is a straight forward install. I have in some manner had the menue items on the side bar repositioned so that they are always on the left but below any content when the site is looked at. I do not know how I managed to do that. Any ideas? This has most likely been asked and answered many times, but I still need to know. How do I get all the buttons that Wikipedia has for editing. So far I have added "The Tex Box only but would like to have all the others. They do not seem to be extensions, or I am looking in the wrong place for them. Thanks! - John Foster

Issue with MediaWiki after CSS Change
by Ben Parr 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

So I made an accidental change to the modern skin's main.css (it was the default for my wiki at http://benparr/com/wiki), where I added several lines of adjusted logo code from the monobook theme. When I put it up, it obviously broke the mediawiki code. I erased the bad code, but my mediawiki is still horridly broken and nothing I've tried has fixed it. Notes: - I only have some PHP/CSS knowledge, I'm not a programmer - I used a Dreamhost install to install the wiki onto my servers. Please, I just want the wiki working again...any thoughts or anything I can send to you or do to better find hte root of the problem? - Ben ----- - Ben Parr (ben(a)benparr.com) Northwestern University, Class of 2008 Science in Human Culture, Political Science, & Business Institutions Phone: 815-878-3044; AIM: YGRPG; LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/benparr http://freelunch.net - Free Lunch Inc. - Saving the world, One app at a time http://BenParr.com - Entrepreneurship & Internet Innovation - Let's Change the World

Mediawiki on CentOS 5, PHP 5.1.6, MySQL 14.12, not working.
by Radio Tron 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Hello, I installed MediaWiki using yum. The web based config gave me no errors and the db was populated just fine. The problem is that when i browse http://mail.deathstar.net/wiki/ , my page is broken with no images and no cool layout. I just get a white background thing with some formatted text. I did a view src and: -------------- <a style="background-image: url(wiki/skins/common/images/wiki.png);" href="wiki/index.php/Main_Page" title="Visit the Main Page ------------------ Note that wiki/skins.. does not lie under my Apache DocumentRoot. Why is the PHP generating a link like that? I have a default apache install with: LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so Apache: DocumentRoot "/var/www/" My /var/www/wiki/LocalSettings.php contains: if( defined( 'MW_INSTALL_PATH' ) ) { $IP = MW_INSTALL_PATH; } else { $IP = '/usr/share/mediawiki'; } $wgScriptPath = "wiki"; (because this should be relative to my Apache DocumentRoot [URL base path]) ------------------------------------------------------- Could someone help me figure out what needs to be done to gett his to work?? Should i create an Apache Alias for wiki/skins ??

Magic las modified
by Javier Bezos 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Hi, I'm trying to define a magic word returning the lastModified date, but I'm stuck. My first attempt was: $wgUser->getSkin()->lastModified() but it seems $wgArticle (used by lastModified) is not defined at the point the magic word is processed. Is there a simple way to get that date? Javier

Hi, Mod_security is not enabled in my server -i.e I checked the httpd.conf file and the apache modules folder. Reference to the particulat module is not in the conf file and the mod-security.so file is not in the folder. Any other hints, plz?

It's set in an overprotective mode that freaks out and denies access when it sees bits of text coming through the form submission that it thinks are indicative of an SQL or code injection attack. Contact your system administrator and let them know they've misconfigured the software and should back it out to more reasonable settings. - -- brion vibber (brion @ wikimedia.org) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkhINxkACgkQwRnhpk1wk47kngCgvrQx86kyR1mt71unPhvz+piA oKkAnR3rnrecJq3COq8NvVtkA0KIQM0Y =AoIU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l This electronic mail (including any attachment thereto) may be confidential and privileged and is intended only for the individual or entity named above.

better preview - how hard is this sort of bug?
by David Gerard 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

Redirects don't render as redirects in preview: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14484 Not that I'm expecting developers to dive into fixing this :-) I'm just curious how hard or easy this sort of thing is to fix. Does it require duplicating functionality in preview? Is there a better way? etc. - d.

Upgrade 1.9.3 -> 1.12.0 fails
by Gsandtner Michael 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

We successfully run mediawiki for a year with version 1.9.3 (with an extension function defining these hooks: AutoAuthenticate, SpecialPage_initList, UserLogoutComplete). Now we tried to upgrade to 1.12.0. The upgrade process seemed to be OK, since the installer completed with "Installation successfull". However, it does not work; the error log states: PHP Fatal error: Class 'DOMDocument' not found in /magwien/var/gondor-phpserver/html/m13wiki/includes/Preprocess or_DOM.php on line 566 Best regards Michael Gsandtner Magistrat der Stadt Wien

Special:RecentChanges returns apache error 500
by Les Russell 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hello, I'm new to this list, so please bear with me, and let me know if I'm doing anything wrong. I've installed two wikis on the same server. They both work fine, except in both cases, the Special:RecentChanges page returns a server error (500). The apache log error message is (for example): PHP Warning: mysql_query(): Unable to save result set in /srv/www/htdocs/wiki/includes/Database.php on line 817, referer: http://{IP address}/wiki/index.php5/Special:Search?search=davo&go=Go This error was logged when I tried to bring up RecentChanges after doing a (successful) search on "davo". However the error occurs no matter what page I start from. I have had a quick look at Database.php, but I'm not a php expert and can't see anything obvious which would help me debug it. I've searched various forums and FAQ's but can't see any reference to a problem like this. My versions are: MediaWiki: 1.12.0 PHP: 5.2.4 (apache2handler) MySQL: 5.0.45 OS: Linux SuSE 10.3 Can anyone suggest how I proceed with this? Thanks Les Russell
