Problem and fix for generateSitemap.php maintenance script
by The Gadget Doctor 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

This isn't all my work, and I'm not really a developer but perhaps the following can be fixed in the source code? It's been bugging me that the sitemap index file generated by the generateSitemap.php maintenance script didn't have absolute paths for the sub-sitemaps making it useless. If I just submitted the main sitemap for the main namespace google complained that all my pages were the same priority. I found a partial fix on the web: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-mediawiki-devel/2008-January/0… But that doesn't go all the way. I'm not sure I'm going to do this very often so perhaps it isn't necessary for me to sacrifice a goat (or what ever other initiation is needed to be a real MW dev) but here is my diff versus 1.13RC2 version. Perhaps someone can include this. I've had to cludge one thing.... I ask the user to add both the absolute path that the sitemap files will be saved to, and the path that becomes relative to the web server. I couldn't think of a reliable way to do this but my php skills are very limited. I run this in a nightly cron job now. svn diff generateSitemap.php Index: generateSitemap.php =================================================================== --- generateSitemap.php (revision 38559) +++ generateSitemap.php (working copy) @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -<?php +x<?php define( 'GS_MAIN', -2 ); define( 'GS_TALK', -1 ); /** @@ -367,9 +367,11 @@ * @return string */ function indexEntry( $filename ) { + global $wgServer; + global $wgWebpath; return "\t<sitemap>\n" . - "\t\t<loc>$filename</loc>\n" . + "\t\t<loc>$wgServer$wgWebpath/$filename</loc>\n" .

Printing Section Header Numbers
by John van V. 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

Hello all, I am using a wiki to organize development notes and from them create structured systems specifications. A major benefit of using mediawiki is that I can create purely text documents, which can easily be accessed from low-bandwidth locations. Also they can easily fit into software distributions as "readme" files. The only down side is that the topic headers in the text do not have the same numbering structure that the topics do in the table of contents, so it is hard to follow the document structure in a text file. How would I go about printing the numbering seen in the table of contents in front of the topic headings in the main text? Also, I might mention that most systems specification styles require that the numbers be in the text, though that is only unnecessary in non-hypertext documents. Thanks in advance, John

Update to 1.12.0 leads to HTTP 500
by Curulan Angelicos 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

For some reason, every time I try to update my wiki from 1.11 to 1.12, I end up getting a HTTP 500 error after the update and I have to manually restore a 9MB SQL backup line-by-line each time. I am re-using the old LocalSettings.php and AdminSettings.php files. Is there some change that causes the old settings to fail? I don't recall having this issue on any previous upgrade. -- Curulan Angelicos Leader, Clan Titan OpenPG KeyID: 0xCA5BE4C5 Clan Website: http://clantitan.org Clan Forums: http://clantitan.org/forum

Question about SVN
by The Gadget Doctor 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

I know that this list is Mediawiki but I feel at home here and I'm sure someone knows the answer to this. I'm using SVN now to manage Mediawiki and, once one gets over the learning curve, its tremendous. I know that I can update to the latest version with the (scarily brief and powerful "svn up") but I'm looking for something that will tell me exactly what files will change before I issue that command. I would also like to be able to see what would happen if I gave the command "svn sw" and switched to another branch. I've looked at "svn st" and "svn info" but can't seem to find something that basically runs "svn up" without actually updating anything! Anyone or should I go and get friendly on the SVN boards?

PHP Warning Problem since upgrading to 1.13 RC1
by The Gadget Doctor 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

I'm wondering if anyone else has this. It took me a few days to spot this as I forgot to check my error logs but now I see I've had 16meg of errors over a weekend on a development site that gets very little traffic. Since upgrading (with svn) my logs are full of: [Fri Aug 01 12:38:01 2008] [error] [client 67.90.55.2] PHP Warning: preg_match() [<a href='function.preg-match'>function.preg-match</a>]: Compilation failed: PCRE does not support \\L, \\l, \\N, \\P, \\p, \\U, \\u, or \\X at offset 3 in /var/www/vhosts/ adv01.mysite.com/httpdocs/w/includes/Linker.php on line 1364, referer: http://adv01.mysite.com/w/index.php?title=Fitzgerald:_Second-class_citizens… Problem?
