[Edit] link won't go away (was) Printing Section Header Numbers
by John van V. 16 Aug '08

16 Aug '08

Thanks again for the help with the heading numbers; it was very useful. Sadly, when I cut+paste from a mediawiki page, the [edit] link is invisibly preserved and appears in my text. Others on the web have noticed this when exporting pages to some other CMS. Any ideas would be helpful, but I am afraid that a solution will mean a code hack. ~~John

Liquid Threads to be integrated into MW 2.0?
by Derrick Farnell 16 Aug '08

16 Aug '08

Hi I'm in the process of installing MediaWiki and am interested in using the Liquid Threads extension to replace the standard talk pages: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LiquidThreads It states on the extension page that this extension is being developed with the aim of being integrated into MW 2.0 - is this an aspiration of just the extension developers, or also of the MW developers themselves? I'm concerned about what would happen if development on this extension stopped one day, and the extension then became incompatible with future versions of MW. If I had to uninstall the extension, does any one know what would happen to the discussions up to that point? Thanks Derrick

Align tables
by Martin S 16 Aug '08

16 Aug '08

I am trying to align a table with variable lengths of #ask output. {| !'''Articles''' !'''Recipes''' |- |width="300" valign="top"| {{#ask:[[Category:Long article]] [[ArticleRelatedCategory::Snow cream]] |Default=No articles found so far |format=broadtable }} || {{#ask:[[Category:Recipe]] [[RecipeCategorySub::Snow Cream]] |?RecipeDate=Known since |?RecipeSource=Published in/by |format=broadtable }} |} The first column get much fewer results than the second. Turning the columns around (so that articles is the second one) is more logical but then valign="top" doesn't produce aligned columns. Is there a way of aligning the second column? Adding "valign="top"| " to the second column (after "||") only produces the text valign="op" without doing any aligning. -- Regards, Martin S

SyntaxHighlight for GeSHi 1.1.2alpha?
by Rolf Lampa 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

Hi all, ... who knows the details about the SyntaxHighlight extension? ( http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi ) Any plans to support GeSHi 1.1.2(alpha) ? I understand that there's no rush to update the "official" SyntaxHighlight before GeSHi1.1.2 is stable, but I'd like to test it on my MW sites. So, does anyone know the details about what changes makes the SyntaxHighlight extension not working with GeSHi1.1.2? Perhaps it isn't that big thing that I couldn't patch it myself? Regards, // Rolf Lampa

PCRE UTF-8 problem- excuse lack of detail.
by Rob Lingelbach 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

I have a functioning mediawiki installation, with a lot of extensions and users, on a production machine. I'm moving the whole shebang over to a different machine, and have most things worked out, except I'll explain what happened, which might be a good script for a sysadmin horror film. 1) installed and configured, on new machine, mysql and php-mysql, and reinstalled mediawiki (new OS CentOS; old OS Fedora), apache, exim, mailman, etc. etc. 2) I presume (excuse the fundamental question) that I have to recreate the important databases (wikidb for example) by hand (I used phpMyadmin), before reloading mysql with the db dump I did with mysqldump. This I did and the reload did seem to load without problems. 3) I ran into a problem with apache2 complaining that pcre (the perl compatible regex library) didn't understand UTF-8 (sorry don't have the exact error as you'll understand in a moment). Yet pcre reported it was compiled with UTF-8. 4) it was late. maybe you're familiar with this story. I thought, well, yum has worked so nicely so far, I'll just reinstall pcre after removing it, and see if that helps. 5) yum -y remove pcre 6) sshd gone, exim gone, .... system hosed. so, to cut this down to a simple question: anyone have any insight for the pcre problem, which will surely crop up again after an OS reload? sorry I can't be more specific about the error, the logfiles are inaccessible now. The pcre problem caused mediawiki to issue the error message on the webpage itself, and also apache logged it. -- Rob Lingelbach rob(a)colorist.org http://www.colorist.org/robhome.html

Category Page: Some Links are broken
by Connolly, Wayne 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

Hi all, On our category page the list is all correct and the totals are correct also yet when you click on some of the links you receive a blank page. The issue is that some of the links(not all) have the edit get switch appended to the end linke this. http://collab-trial.in.telstra.com.au/index.php?title=Category:About_Telstr… ^ Doesn't work However if I manually delete the "&action=edit" then the link resolves correctly. http://collab-trial.in.telstra.com.au/index.php?title=Category:About_Telstra On the categories page the links with edit are all recognised as broken links via css. Also on pages that make up the categories we see the same behaviour. This is extremely frustrating. We are using the latest MediaWiki and everything is going fine elsewhere. Cheers, Wayne

Right permissions: blocking all pages
by Hikarineko 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

Hello guys. I created a wiki and I need it to be private. I added this code to LocalSettings.php $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['minoredit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['rollback'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['trackback'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createtalk'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['delete'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['bigdelete'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['deletedhistory'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['undelete'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['move'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['patrol'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['protect'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['reupload'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['reupload-shared'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['suppressredirect'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['upload'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['upload_by_url'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['createaccount'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['read'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['minoredit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['rollback'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['trackback'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['createtalk'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['delete'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['bigdelete'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['deletedhistory'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['undelete'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['move'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['patrol'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['protect'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['reupload'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['reupload-shared'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['suppressredirect'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['upload'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['membros']['upload_by_url'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['createaccount'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['read'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['edit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['minoredit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['rollback'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['trackback'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['createpage'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['createtalk'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['delete'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['bigdelete'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['deletedhistory'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['undelete'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['move'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['patrol'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['protect'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['reupload'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['reupload-shared'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['suppressredirect'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['upload'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['autores']['upload_by_url'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; $wgWhitelistRead = array ( "Main Page", "Special:Userlogin", "Wikipedia:Help"); With it, I wanted to implement the following: 1) guests can only have access to main page to create account 2) new accounts also can only access main page 3) accounts added to 'membros' group can read any page, but not edit or create pages 4) accounts added to 'autores' can read, edit and create pages I wanted also to block access of history viewing, but coun't find out how to do it. The wiki is temporary hosted at http://mental.conscienciaplanetaria.com/wiki/ I was able to block editing from guests and members, but guests are still able to read pages. Could anybody see on the code what I'm doing wrong and how to block pages viewing to '*'? tnx! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Right-permissions%3A-blocking-all-pages-tp18955706p18… Sent from the WikiMedia General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Category not recognized as used
by Martin S 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

I have a template (TempA) and a Semantic form (FormA) which uses TempA. I also have a category (CatA) which is related to FormA. I also have a series of other template,forms and categories (well, not many but anyway) along the same relation structure. However, when doing a new page using FormA the resulting page isn't recognized as belonging to CatA; while when doing a new page using FormB the page *is* recognized as belonging to CatB. How can I troubleshoot this? I've tried recreating the whole *A structure, but that doesn't help. Regards, Martin S

Is there a good way to add a global variable to Skins.php: makeGlobalVariablesScript() without modifying core MediaWiki code? This is MW 1.13. Thanks, DanB

Best way to IF(category) THEN (display something)
by Bjorn Kassoe Andersen 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Hello, Newbie here. I'm developing a project and have my main focus on content and user interface. I am trying to decide what would be the best way to direct my tech guy to get the following working: I want specific words and graphics to be displayed in a templated box if a page belongs to a specific category (if the page does not belong to this category, a default text/graphic should be displayed). I've looked into the description of the DPL extension (which we probably will be going to use anyway) and wonder if that is the easiest/best way to take. Or is there some other simple built-in way to make the Mediawiki software do this (we run 1.12) which I just haven't come across yet? kassoe --- (please excuse if this turns out to be a duplicate - I could not see my first attempt being posted on the list)
