Modification of Login (form and redirect)
by Markus Deibel 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Good morning all, I have a problem regarding the login of my mediawiki. What I'm trying to do is, have the user login and be forwarded to the desired page with the least clicks possible, i.e.: 1. MW sees that the user needs to log in 2. MW displays the login form 3. The user enters his data and clicks "Login" 4. MW logs the user in and opens the desired page Currently I have come to the solution that a step 1b is necessary in which the user gets the message "You need to login ..." with the link to the login form. I understand that in this case the returnto value is passed as GET to the login form. Is there another way to pass this parameter to the login form? I'm fine with modifying the code but would need the correct parameters (and the way how to pass them), which I currently have no idea about. Regards Markus

P.S. Also, I would like to correct the earlier posting: we're interested in an opt-in mailing, and making it monthly rather than weekly. -----Original Message----- From: Larry Sanger [mailto:sanger@citizendium.org] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2008 11:10 AM To: 'mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org' Subject: Funds for programming Money is available for making a MediaWiki extension: https://lists.purdue.edu/pipermail/citizendium-tools/2008-January/000239.htm l If you're interested, won't you please get in touch with me?

Adding contents to the index page
by Sarel Wesssels (Agri Wiki) 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

Stupid question: How do I add contents to the index page? I want to join a banner exchange program and have to add html code into the front page(index). What file do I have to change? And can I just copy and paste it? I'm a bit confused with the php-files and languages. Thank you. Regards, Sarel

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.

problem with Polyglot
by Martin Landa 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Hi, on our project wiki we use Polyglot extension for managing multilingual context. I am facing to a strange problem with this extension. Step by step: 1) create new page with translation (e.g. "Page/cs") 2) save page 3) go back to original "Page" In the result, I cannot see "Czech" in "other languages" sidebar box. I realized that when I change LocalSettings.php file (e.g. just adding a blank line). After saving the file and reloading "Page", "Czech" appears in "other languages" box. That's strange. Thank you in advance for any advise how to solve this problem. Best regards, Martin Landa -- Martin Landa <landa.martin gmail.com> * http://gama.fsv.cvut.cz/~landa *

experience with blog extension
by CW Dillon 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Juliano, I like your approach to blogging in MW, but I'm even more curious about your abbreviations tags, for example in the post about Mozilla Bookmarks to Wiki (21 July 2006). I looked at the templates and tags, but saw no extension controlling this on your Version page. Can you say how this is done? I don't like the heavy java in the ToolTips extension. Your approach is more like what I'm looking for. CW

Listing Sub-Pages That Fall Under a Page
by Bobby S 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Is there a way to list all of the sub-pages under a particular page? For example, let's say I have the following: Page1/Sub_Page1/Sub_Page2/Sub_Page3 Page1/Sub_Page1/Sub_Page4/Sub_Page5 If I were on Page1, I would want the query to bring back the article title for: Sub_Page1 If I were on Sub_Page1, I would want the query to bring back the article titles for: Sub_Page2 and Sub_Page4
