Recentchanges for just two namespaces
by Chris Watkins 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

I want to display the Recentchanges only for certain namespaces. I can do this easily for a single namespace, e.g. Talk pages, using the drop-down menu at the top of the Recentpages page. But is it possible to display all changes in, say, two or three namespaces? A feed would be nice too. Is this possible? Thanks -- Chris Watkins (a.k.a.

Internal error when creating accounts by e-mail with $wgMinimalPasswordLength > 0
by Reid Priedhorsky 02 Aug '08

02 Aug '08

Hi, We are running MediaWiki 1.12. We can cause an "Internal Error" by using the following recipe. 1. Set $wgMinimalPasswordLength to 6. 2. Browse (as bureaucrat and sysop) to http://example.com/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup 3. Enter a new username, e.g. "UserFoo". 4. Leave both password fields blank. 5. Enter a valid e-mail address in the e-mail field. 6. Click "by e-mail". Expected behavior: 1. Get a page titled "Password sent". 2. Temporary password shows up at entered e-mail. Actual behavior: 1. Get a page titled "Internal Error" and the following content: > > #0 /export/web/sites01/mediawiki/cyclopath/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php(338): User->setPassword('-') > #1 /export/web/sites01/mediawiki/cyclopath/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php(320): LoginForm->initUser(Object(User), false) > #2 /export/web/sites01/mediawiki/cyclopath/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php(117): LoginForm->addNewAccountInternal() > #3 /export/web/sites01/mediawiki/cyclopath/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php(96): LoginForm->addNewAccountMailPassword() > #4 /export/web/sites01/mediawiki/cyclopath/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php(17): LoginForm->execute() > #5 [internal function]: wfSpecialUserlogin(NULL, Object(SpecialPage)) > #6 /export/web/sites01/mediawiki/cyclopath/includes/SpecialPage.php(678): call_user_func('wfSpecialUserlo...', NULL, Object(SpecialPage)) > #7 /export/web/sites01/mediawiki/cyclopath/includes/SpecialPage.php(464): SpecialPage->execute(NULL) > #8 /export/web/sites01/mediawiki/cyclopath/includes/Wiki.php(193): SpecialPage::executePath(Object(Title)) > #9 /export/web/sites01/mediawiki/cyclopath/includes/Wiki.php(45): MediaWiki->initializeSpecialCases(Object(Title), Object(OutputPage), Object(WebRequest)) > #10 /export/web/sites01/mediawiki/cyclopath/index.php(90): MediaWiki->initialize(Object(Title), Object(OutputPage), Object(User), Object(WebRequest)) > #11 {main} 2. No password shows up at e-mail. We do have a custom AuthPlugin but the backtrace above does not touch it. UserFoo is created in our external database, but going Special:Userlogin and clicking "E-mail password" complains that no such user exists. A workaround seems to be to enter a dummy password of sufficient length, but this is a little annoying, particularly since I'm uncomfortable giving everyone the same dummy password. Help? Is there something we can edit to fix this? Thanks, Reid

How can I test the page title to see if this is the first call of a template or a later inclusion
by The Gadget Doctor 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

I'll try to ask this in as simple a way as I can. I have a template which I call, in which I set the title of a page. The page name built up from elements in the template call. For each call to this template I have an individual page that has one and only one call to the template on it. It is this page that is named according to the rules of the template. Those template call pages are then transcluded on other pages. I would like (within the template) to test if it is the first call or a subsequent transclusion. All forms of <includeonly> <noinclude> etc don't seem to work. I should be able to test because I know the elements that I'm passing that originally gave me the name of the page, but various character translations (":" apostrophes and various other bits of punctuation) cause havoc. There must be a simpler way: if you saw my #if statements you'd cry. Is there any way with page-id's or some other off the wall method??? I'm sure this is a solved problem!!!! Page -> call to template -> template GD

Setting Sitename
by Darren Wyn Rees 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

I can't seem to set the sitename for a mediawiki installation. I've given a value for $wgSitename in localsettings.php, however, it doesn't add this value to the <title></title> for wiki pages. Instead something else comes up. I grepped through the directories of the installation, but couldn't find the erroneous title. And I couldn't find it on a search of the mysql. I'm clearly missing something obvious! Any help appreciated. - Darren
