image click-through
by Rob Lingelbach 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

I apologize in advance for asking what must surely be a simple question (or simple answer). Image uploaded to wiki. What syntax can I use to allow a click on the image's thumbnail to go directly to some site, rather than to the image at higher resolution? thanks in advance.

external links
by Matt Long 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Hello, I am trying to find a much easier way for people to use external file links in my wiki. Currently every space has to be replaced with a %20. Is there something like {{urlencode:}} that would work? The urlencode magic word converts spaces to +, how do i get %20 instead?

Pre-Sorting Table Rows
by Bobby S 27 Jul '08

27 Jul '08

Is there a way to pre-sort table rows? For example, look at this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_United_States_Core_Based_Statistical_… Note the very large table. Every row must be input perfectly in terms of rank. Is there a way someone could just add a row at the bottom of rank 1, but it would pre-sort the rows on the front-end so that this row showed at the top?

Can't write config file aborting.
by Ralph Porter 27 Jul '08

27 Jul '08

I'm trying to install 1.10.0 on fedora 9 and have followed the install instructions. I'm getting. Can't write config file, aborting In order to configure the wiki you have to make the config subdirectory writable by the web server. Once configuration is done you'll move the created LocalSettings.php to the parent directory, and for added safety you can then remove the config subdirectory entirely. I did the chmod and here is config file display. [root@localhost wiki]# ll -d config drwxrwxrwx 2 rporter rporter 4096 2007-05-09 13:34 config Now what do I do? thanks in advance rp

Adding php and style
by Martin S 26 Jul '08

26 Jul '08

Anyone using the Ajax Ratings extension? In the README it says ============================================================================= 3. Enter this line at the top of any page where you want to have rating bars. ============================================================================= <?php require('_drawrating.php'); ?> ============================================================================= 4. Point to the right Javascript and CSS files (you need behavior.js, rating.js, and rating.css) ============================================================================= <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="js/behavior.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="js/rating.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/rating.css" /> etc For #3 I'm planning on using it for pages generated by a certain template (using semantic forms) but I *guess* this is basic procedure for all pages in Mediawiki? I'm not too comfortable with mediawiki yet to be certain how to do this. Should this go in the Monobook.php file? (That would solve the #3 issue) Any suggestions from those using this extension? Cheers, Martin S -- Regards, Martin S

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.

IP Address search (part of content not logs/user etc)
by Cameron 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Hi All, We are using Mediawiki for technical documentation. As part of this we have device info contained in a table and part of this is the IP Addresses configured. Unfortunately searches don't seem to pick up the ip addresses entered though. If I enter the ip then the search finds no hits. Is there an extension / hack that is required for it to work reliably? I have also tried http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LinkSearch but it only *appears* to find FQDN and not IP based urls? We are running MediaWiki 1.12.0, PHP 5.1.2, MySQL 5.0.26 Below is an exert of part of a table in use (IPs changed) {| style="width:75%; text-align:left" border="1" ! width="30%" bgcolor="#EEEEEE"| ''Configuration Item'' ! bgcolor="#EEEEEE"| ''Setting'' |- ! Device Name | {{PAGENAMEE}} |- | Management IP Address | 10.10.10.1 |- ! Switch port and Switch name for Management interface | Unknown |- ! Production IP Address | 99.99.99.54 |- ! Switch port and Switch name for Production interface | Unknown |- ! Backup IP Address | 10.20.20.1 |- ! Switch port and Switch name for Backup interface | Unknown |- ! Operating System | Windows 2003 SP2 |- |- |} Cheers Cameron
