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.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Hiding a wiki behind a login

> From: "P. Hightower" <sgriobhadair(a)gmail.com> > > Is it possible to set mediawiki up so that users need to login before > they can access 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. :::: If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning. -- Catherine Aird :::: :::: Jan Steinman <http://www.EcoReality.org> ::::

Forbidden words
by Jelle De Loecker 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

Hello everyone, I just installed Mediawiki on my server to share technical howto's/tutorials with other people (It's a lot easier to share it in than wordpress) However, when I write a page I can NEVER enter the word "wget" If any of my articles contain the word "wget" I get an error message: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forbidden You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ How can this be? -- /Met vriendelijke groeten,/ *Jelle De Loecker* Kipdola Studios - Tomberg

by Frames Project 18 Sep '08

Hello I only found a way to block the last two octets of an IP address with nnn.mmm.0.0/16. Is there a possibility to block the three last octets like : nnn.0.0.0/8 (which does not work). (I have a Wiki in french "visited" every day by several chinese people trying to use it for some political propaganda) Thanks François Colonna

Several other MediaWiki-related lists exist: - mediawiki-api[5] for API discussions, - mediawiki-enterprise[6] for discussion of MediaWiki in the enterprise, - mediawiki-cvs[7] for notification of commits to the Subversion repository, - mediawiki-i18n[8] for discussion of MediaWiki internationalisation support, - wikibugs-l[9] for notification of changes to the bug tracker. List administrivia (unsubscribing, list archives). To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit [12]. Archives of previous postings can be found at [3]. This list is also gatewayed to the Gmane NNTP server[4], which you can use to read and post to the list. Posting to the list. Before posting to this list, please read the MediaWiki FAQ[10].

Hiding a wiki behind a login
by P. Hightower 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Is it possible to set mediawiki up so that users need to login before they can access it? I'd like to set up a wiki for an ongoing project and I'd like only project team members to be able to access it. What's the best way of accomplishing this?

how to install bookmark icons in footer?
by Derrick Farnell 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

Hi I want a social bookmarking button in the footer, but the extension Extension:Social Bookmarking <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Social_Bookmarking> puts the addthis.com button at the end of the content. I've got the code from addthis.com, and assume that I need to put in MonoBook.php, but, despite much experimentation, I can't figure-out where. Can anyone help? Thanks Derrick

Fwd: [WikiEN-l] More on Tables
by David Gerard 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <WJhonson(a)aol.com> Date: 2008/9/16 Subject: [WikiEN-l] More on Tables To: wikien-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org So being at-heart a consummate traitor, I've been toying around at Knol, and also at Google Sites and at Pbwiki. I was just updating a page tonight on my Knol user-page when I realized that Knol has a rather nice "table creator/editor". I've used it a few times, but it was always sort-of "blah whatever" until I had to tonight actually move cell-contents-with-their-associated-LINKS around in a table. It was... quite simple, with no hidden problems. Can we not get that in the next MediaWiki upgrade go-round ? It would so simplify the beautification of tabular data and ease the transition for editors who can't quite get their minds wrapped around our current bizarre and unique table-coding. The number of editors we have who understand how to create and maintain in-wiki tables is quite minute, and this WYSIWIG editor just makes it all very transparent and easy.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Sysop rights
by Henny Savenije 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

Jim, You're brilliant. That was the solution. I went immedialtely into MySQL and found the extra space. To enlighten you a bit as to why this happened, the server is mine, I also have a webhosting company, I installed installatron which allows you to install a whole range of scripts. I guess they left out the WikiSysop with the install script and I had to create the admin myself. Added my own name and from there on it went wrong. I also gave the user you saw the sysop rights directly in the database since he registered after I posted this problem so I assumed it was from someone on this list. At 12:13 AM 9/17/2008, you wrote: >Here's what I see in your user's list: > >Henny (Sysop , bureaucrat ) > >Note the extra space after "Sysop" for Henny.
