FlaggedRevs datatype errors
by Cameron 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hi All, I am attempting to get http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs up and running. Mediawiki: 1.13.0 PHP: 5.2.5 (apache2handler) MySQL: 5.0.26 I am also using the snapshot from the FlaggedRevs-MW1.13-r39116.tar download. I have debugging enabled and ever since enabling the FlaggedRevs.php I am getting the below error for every page. Does anybody have any ideas as to what I need to do to fix this? *[Tue Jul 29 07:56:07 2008] [error] [client 10.1.1.3] PHP Warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in /srv/www/wiki/extensions/FlaggedRevs/FlaggedRevs.class.php on line 837, referer: **http://10.1.1.100/wiki/index.php5/Main_Page*<http://10.1.1.100/wiki/index.php5/Main_Page> This appears for all pages except for Special: pages from what I can tell. If I go into Special:Version I can see that the extension is listed So far what I have done to install it is the following: edited FlaggedRevs.sql to remove the /*$wgDBprefix*/ so instead of being /*$wgDBprefix*/flaggedpages it would be flaggedpages as I have no prefix in my database\ Run the file by enterring mysql -u root -p wikidb < FlaggedRevs.sql php5 maintenance/update.php php5 maintenance/archives/populateSha1.php php5 extensions/Flaggedrevs/maintenance/updateAutoPromote.php --- Initially updateAutoPromote.php failed similar to what is mentioned on the talk page. After logging into the wiki I can now run it with no errors php5 extensions/FlaggedRevs/maintenance/updateStats.php I have also added the following to the LocalSettings.php include_once('extensions/FlaggedRevs/FlaggedRevs.php'); $wgFlaggedRevsNamespaces = 0 #$wgFlaggedRevTags = array( 'accuracy'=>2, 'depth'=>2, 'tone'=>1 ); #$wgFlaggedRevValues = 3; NOTE that the $wgFlaggedRevTags and $wgFlaggedRevValues are commented out! If I uncomment them I get the following error: *[Tue Jul 29 08:18:56 2008] [error] [client 10.1.1.3] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /srv/www/wiki/LocalSettings.php on line 199 * BTW line 199 is $wgFlaggedRevTags = array( 'accuracy'=>2, 'depth'=>2, 'tone'=>1 ); Thanks Cameron

Template Question
by Patrick Markiewicz 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hi, When I copied the Infobox Template from MediaWiki, I noticed that it has a bunch of Template:! And Template:!- links that were undefined. So I also copied the ! Template and !- Template from MediaWiki. When I did that, my Infobox did not match the page on MediaWiki. On MediaWiki, the Template:Infobox page displays only {{LANGUAGE1}}. On my page, it displays every parameter like {{{DESCRIPTION1}}} {{{DESCRIPTION2}}}. Plus it has a bunch of {{ #if {{ #if. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Patrick

Can't link to an anchored heading of a page from the sidebar
by Craig_Flores＠PlayStation.Sony.com 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Hi-- I'm stumped. I have a mediawiki installation and am using the default monobook skin. I'd like to target an anchored heading of a page, where: (a) Main_Page is the page I am targetting. (b) The <a> element I would like to target on the main page is called "How_We_Can_Help". Problem: In the sidebar, I typed: * About ** [[Main_Page#How_We_Can_Help]]|How We Can Help But this did not work. I also tried many variants, with and without the "[[ ]]". The <a> exists, and I was able to do what I want successfully in normal HTML. Can I make this work in mediawiki, and if so how? Many thanks.

Can this be done: change the "REL=" attribute for links to unwritten pages
by The Gadget Doctor 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

I'm getting serious about SEO with a forthcoming site and I was thinking about all the edit links on my pages. I really don't want google or others crawling these links and I have stopped that with robots.txt. But, is there any way (without me hacking the core MW code) to put a rel="nofollow" directive in links pointing to action=edit pages? I'm currently achieving this in the following way: my Robots.txt file has the following line: Disallow: w/ And my wiki lives in w/. However, I've set up nice URLs so that the pages are read via mywki/ . This then catches all links to unwritten pages (because these refer to the w/ ) and also print links and so on. I'm wondering if this is a good solution long term. I'm also using Sitemaps properly to make sure every page can be found and "good" links that point to content already written are found and followed by search engines. Thoughts anyone?

Giving MediaWiki permission to use ImageMagick on an OS X System
by Daniel Flaum 19 Aug '08

19 Aug '08

MediaWiki and ImageMagick are both installed and usable, however, MediaWiki can't use ImageMagick to make thumbnails because it doesn't have permission to execute convert. This is on an OS X system, from inside an administrator account. Anybody got any ideas? audacitor(a)gmail.com "Just because it's automatic doesn't mean it works."

RSS Feed Caching?
by Russ Lavoy 19 Aug '08

19 Aug '08

Hello All, I am in dire need of some help regarding RSS feed caching on mediawiki 1.12. Basically, we have thousands of uses signing up for the following RSS feeds: http://site.com/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss http://site.com/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=atom Basically, when I have the RSS feeds enabled the frontend servers get overly utilized. We have four frontend servers, one DB server and one image server all running RHEL 5. The frontend servers are running APC 3.0.18, Apache 2.2 PHP 5.1.6 and we also utilize a memcached cluster of four. The caching is working since I see cache hits on the apc statistics page and when I telnet to the memcached port it also shows cache hits. The four frontend servers are the ones that suffer when I have these feeds enabled. They get a load of 60 - 100 (Linux Load), which makes the site unresponsive until I restart Apache (but the load comes right back). I have tried using wget to get the rss feed and use mod_rewrite to direct them to static content, but the site comes up as the Recentchanges page, not an RSS feed. Can anyone help me out here? I would like to re-enable the feeds, but I want a usable site at the same time. Thanks!
