How to keep up to date with changes to MonoBook ?
by The Gadget Doctor 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

I have a modified skin to integrate my wiki with my site. It's a little complex because it integrates a Mac wisiwig tool (RapidWeaver) with Mediawiki. The skin I created based on Monobook and so bits of monobook end up in my RapidWeaver site. Now I've just noticed that the latest version of monobook has changed subtly in one bit: <?php if($this->data['catlinks']) { ?><div id="catlinks"><?php $this->html('catlinks') ?></div><?php } ?> has become: <?php if($this->data['catlinks']) { $this->html('catlinks'); } ?> Note the div id="catlinks" is now (obviously) provided by $this->html('catlinks'). I only found this because I validated my page and found an error. I was wondering if there is a recognized way for people who mod skins to keep up to date or if this kind of thing is just a right royal pain in the ass? GD

Doubt

Hi All, Recently I have started working with Media Wiki. We have installed Media Wiki on a server and in the process of configuring it. But I found that corresponding links in our Media Wiki site doesn't work and I am getting an error "/wiki/... is not found on this server". I was actually trying to access links like: http://<name>/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css All [[MediaWiki:]] links are giving 404 error. What am I missing? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance and appreciate your time. Thanks, Satish Setup details: MediaWiki v 1.13.0 php5 (5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3) MySQL (5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1)

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Images not showing after upgrade
by Henny Savenije 27 Aug '08

A bit complicated but I resolved it. I reverted back to the previous version and discovered to my surprise that all the texts were gone. So I reverted again back to version 1.3 and imported through SSH, and there MySQL a backup I had previously made. Even though the images didn't show up, they did after I reimported it. The issue with the sysop rights remains though. One question, in the database I can see that the usergroups the ug_group variable is set to varbinary(16) NOW it has me assigned as sysop and bureaucrat, (all in lowercase) however I don't seem to have those rights. Trying to change it to Sysop and Bureaucrat will add trailing zeros, does anybody have any idea? In your database is the ug_group variable also set to varbinary(16)? Since I have an inking that this is the cause of the trailing zeros. How can I change that?

Upgraded from 1.9.3 to 1.13.0- got error: Illegal mix of collations
by Eric K 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

Everything works on my wiki, except when I view the logs for a page, I get this error: A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "LinkCache::addLinkObj". MySQL returned error "1267: Illegal mix of collations (latin1_bin,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '=' (localhost)". Any ideas on how to fix this? I can go into myPhPAdmin and manipulate tables if needed. thanks Eric
