Moving wiki problem - part 2
by Martin S 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

So finally managed to get all my standard pages (recipes) to display on the new host (null editing a few pages made all turn up). Now the next step is to get the properties and templates related to my Semantic Mediawiki installation to "behave". I am not sure whether this belongs on this list or the Semantic Mediawiki list. Apologies if on the wrong one. Most of my properties are mixed up, turn up as "Page" rather than their correct type; or both, see first few item in "Properties" on Old host: ArticleLongAuthor<http://www.theoldecookerybook.com/index.php/Property:ArticleLongAuthor>of type String<http://www.theoldecookerybook.com/index.php?title=Type:String&action=edit>This type is among the standard datatypes of this wiki. (2) This property is hardly used within the wiki! ArticleLongContent<http://www.theoldecookerybook.com/index.php/Property:ArticleLongContent>of type Text<http://www.theoldecookerybook.com/index.php?title=Type:Text&action=edit>This type is among the standard datatypes of this wiki. (2) This property is hardly used within the wiki! ArticleLongName<http://www.theoldecookerybook.com/index.php/Property:ArticleLongName>of type String<http://www.theoldecookerybook.com/index.php?title=Type:String&action=edit>This type is among the standard datatypes of this wiki.

ArticleShortSource<http://62.149.36.60/%7Etheopden/wiki/index.php/Property:ArticleShortSource>of type Page<http://62.149.36.60/%7Etheopden/wiki/index.php?title=Type:Page&action=edit>This type is among the standard datatypes of this wiki.

(24) warning.pngNo type was specified for this property (assuming type Page for now). Is this something that will sort itself with time or something I should do something about manually? Also (perhaps related) the templates show incorrect data for, e.g. specific recipes or my menu pages. And editing a page doesn't open the related form for editing, but the source code editor.

Page Views Magic Word
by Bobby S 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Is there a magic word for page views (or some extension that posts page views for a page over a certain time period)? Trying to gauge popularity of pages, and I wanted to push this value in as a Semantic Mediawiki value so I could query articles and sort based on it.

I have had problems in the past using phpMyAdmin to export a database dump. I suggest that you try to do a mysqldump from the command line and see if you get better results. I have found that phpMyAdmin times out too quickly during a dump, and I don't get good results. Bob -- Robert L.

Hi all. What will the upgrade process from 1.13.0rc1 to final look like? Will replacing a couple of changed files (from the distribution) suffice? Sven

wikitext for text colour?
by Derrick Farnell 06 Aug '08

Hi Is it possible to change the colour of text using wikitext? This doesn't seem possible from the help files on mw.org, but I just thought I'd ask in case I missed something! Best Derrick

Moving wiki problem
by Martin S 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

I am trying to move a wiki from one host to another following the docs "Manual:Backing up a wiki" and "Manual:Moving a wiki". Everything seems to have got moved over, except for the image missing (minor prob, probably a setting somewhere that points to the wrong place on the new server) and the major uh-oh. Only a part of the pages were moved. Compare if you like http://62.149.36.60/~theopden/wiki/index.php/All_Sweet_dishes_etc http://www.theoldecookerybook.com/index.php/All_Sweet_dishes_etc The latter is the "From" server, the former the "To" server. I am using the same tool on both machines PHPMyAdmin, difference being MySQL version is 5+ on the From-server, 4+ on the To-server. Looking at the tables in PHPMyAdmin shows the same number of rows though. What do I try now? Regards, Martin S

Re: [Mediawiki-l] FCKeditor in real use?
by Wolesky, Pat 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

We enabled FCKeditor on our Wiki and it has caused a few problems with loss of page formatting if someone opens the page with the editor enabled. The most frequent problem is the use of leading spaces to put indented text into shaded boxes, or any kind of text indenting. That gets messed up when the page is edited with the editor enabled. Usually that can be fixed by reverting to the previous version and then editing the page with the editor disabled. We suggest to our users that they disable the editor as a default if they are editing previously created pages, and only enable it for new pages where they want to do things such as complex tables that are much easier using the editor.

preserve case-insensitivity, but not force first-letter capitalization?
by Bill Traynor 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hello, I'm currently runing Mediawiki 1.7.0: Is it possible to disable capitalization of uploaded files names? I'm aware of $wgCapitalLinks but I don't want to turn off capitalization for the whole namespace, but rather just for uploaded files names. I want to preserve case-insensitivity, but not force first-letter capitalization. Specifically, I want 'file.patch' to upload as 'file.patch', not 'File.patch'. Thanks Bill
