Hi,
I have tried some method, just like $wgLanguageCode.
But that can't add other language in sidebar.
I have added *LANGUAGES in Sidebar , but the method maybe need version 1.13+
My wiki version is 1.12.

Hi,
I'd like to convert a KWiki to a MediaWiki and searched for utilities,
but unfortunately I didn't find any. I don't want to copy-and-paste
every single site. Do you know any tools, which provide this
possibility?
Cheers,
Nicolai

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki
is a manual for making a scheduled backup.
It states the importance of making such a backup.
In fact, it states that every mediawiki should make such a backup.
I can't agree more.
Without any activity on my part on the wiki, and I suppose no activity from
users (the wiki is not being promoted yet) the database got corrupt.
I haven't got a clue why this happened, but it learns me a wiki is rather
vulnerable in that way.
But, and now my point comes, the manual is not a manual at all, or only a
manual for expert users.
I would like to make it a real manual, but can't do that alone because I'm
nor an expert myself, au contraire. But I can state how a good manual can
look like (and help myself realizing my own scheduled manual; Anyway, I
could not get it working yet).
This is the cron command:
/usr/bin/nice -n 19 /usr/bin/mysqldump -u $USER --password=$PASSWORD
$DATABASE -c | /usr/bin/nice -n 19 /bin/gzip -9 >
~/backup/wiki-$DATABASE-$(date '+%Y%m%d').sql.gz
a. First about the program-needs of the cronjob.
I myself have DirectAdmin, a very common used program (a program by the way
you never can choose yourself). The manual should state in which way the
command needs to be crosschecked with the program (which arguments are
program-depended, which not; likewise: which arguments are user-dependent).
I have doubts about:
* /usr/bin/nice (nice?)
* 19 and 9 (is this really correct?)
* -u $USER
is this the user in the reseller account or the username of the database?
in DirectAdmin only the resellers account can make a cronjob, and therefore
the user in question should be stated, otherwise it makes a backup of the
resellers-database
should USER be replaced by the username of the account, or the domainname
(or the $ as well?)
* ~/backup/
should you make the directory yourself and where should it be placed (not
sure about the ~)
where should I find the backupfile if it's working properly (I think in the
resellers account..)
* can the command line always find the database?
or should there be a check of some sort?
b. user dependent
* replace PASSWORD with the database password (or the $ as well?)
* replace DATABASE with the username of the database (true?)
* replace the second DATABASE ? or is it just the name of the file
Hi,
I would like to extend the user create form with some fields which get
e-mailed to the site administrator on the creation of the account.
I can use the CustomUserCreateForm to add the extra from fields, but
what would be the best way to have the data in those fields be send
through e-mail?
Thanks,
Alain
looking for help with a saving issue using ie6
I'm getting reports from 2 of my users that when they try to save an article
ie6 complains that's it's 'encountered an error and must close'
I have tested the page they're working on with ie6, ie7 and firefox without any
issues on my end
has anyone else encountered this?
I did find a notation on wikimedia about ie6 'Internet Explorer 6 deletes any
page longer than 32k when saving'
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Browser_issues_with_Wikipedia
Is this still a bug and is there a workaround?
My users are not allowed to use any browser except ie6
thanks in advance for any help

Our internal wiki uses the built-in MySQL text search. We're
sysadmins, so three-letter abbreviations abound. The default is for
MySQL to search only on words of four or more letters - how do we
change this to three or more?
(This is undoubtedly in the manual, but I couldn't find it ...)

Hello There,
Has anyone had any luck integrating the media-wiki with phpfox and if so is
there a help file or tutorial on this? I have searched everywhere for months
now trying to figure out how to do it.

If you're using Apache, and (as you imply) want a login before even
allowing read access, how about using a .htaccess file?
Drawback: they'd have to login twice; once to get through
the .htaccess (which could be a common id/pass for all trusted users),
then a second time to log into the wiki.
Yea, it's a bit of a kludge, but it's pretty much a zero effort
solution.
