Hello,
I'm using formulas (<math> ... </math>) in my wiki like it is explained on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula
If I export the page with pfdbook to a pdf file the formulas are missing in the pdf file.
Anybody knows how I can fix this? Is there any other extension to export wiki pages with mathematical formulas to PDF?
Also "Download as PDF" on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula does not work.
I'm using Mediawiki 1.15.1 and pdfbook 0.0.9
Thanks!
Günter
I have successfully used PiWik with media wiki, you install it, add a
specific bit of JavaScript to the the template file and it will record
all the reads etc.

Greetings,
I have an existing MySQL database for my customer portal website which includes customers' account info (usernames, and passwords).
Now, I am configuring my MediaWiki on another machine in the same LAN for customers. How could I make use of the existing customer portal MySQL database for my MW user authentication?
It seems the extension "Auth viaMySQL" could do a similar job, but it's for the same website (same machine), requires special login/logout script files for the website, and does NOT tell where/how to connect the existing database.
What's the trick to use this extension for a MW on a different machine? Or, is there another way to do user authentication over MySQL?
Thanks in advance,
Ross

Greetings,
I'd like to add "Contact Us" to the footer. When a user click "Contact Us", it will open a email client and mailto feedback(a)mycompany.com.
I have tried add 'ContactUs' to the line of "$footerlinks" in ./skins/MonoBook.php, and created a page called MediaWiki:ContactUs in which the content is only a line of [mailto: feedback(a)mycompany.com Contact Us]. But I couldn't see "Contact Us", or "ContactUs" at the footer at all.
Any idea would be appreciated,
Ross

We're running an instance of MediaWiki 1.15.0 on an A2 Hosting server
(runs CentOS 5.4 + Apache/PHP5 I believe).
When we modify our LocalSettings.php file, several subsequent requests
(usually six or so) to the wiki come up blank. After these initial
requests, everything comes up normally again.
Typically I'd suspect some sort of PHP error, but our PHP error log
file doesn't spit anything out, and enabling error reporting doesn't
spit anything out either.
Examining the six initial requests after a LocalSettings.php change
shows the following (via wireshark):
1. SYN, SYN/ACK, ACK handshake to server.
2. GET /wiki/index.php/Main_Page sent to server.
3. ACK from server
4. FIN, ACK from server.
And, I note know entries indicating our connection occurred in our
Apache logfile.
This seems a lot to me like our host's Apache server is being restarted
or something along those lines (though it does seem to continue still
accepting connections on port 80 during this "weirdness").
Anyone have any ideas as to what we might be experiencing? Especially
if you're familiar with how a hosted Apache setup might be configured
(PHP caching, etc).
Hmm... maybe something like Zend/Turk is caching a compiled version of
LocalSettings.php -- but would the web server exhibit the behavior
we're seeing above if LocalSettings.php was changed I wonder?
Thanks for any thoughts,
Ray
Categories have not been widely (or correctly) used on our wiki, and I want to
start sorting this out. Following the wiki instructions I have created the
first category that I wanted, but I'm puzzled about the category links created
on the pages. The wiki states:
<quote>
These links do not appear at the location where you inserted the tag, but at
the page margin in a fixed place, depending on the skin (the bottom for
MonoBook, the upper right corner for Standard).
</quote>
I find that, putting the category statement at the end of the page, I actually
see "Category: Getting Started" at the place I entered it. What's more,
'Getting Started' is red, like an un-created page, although clicking on it
does take me to the category's listing.
Further on in the wiki it says to add a colon, as
[[:Category:Getting Started]]
but that results in the whole statement turning into a red link.
What do I need to do to correct this?

I'm no expert on this matter, but if you look at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Upload_variables you will see
$wgUploadPath and $wgUploadDirectory - I suspect those are what you need
to define in LocalSettings.php - and then move any existing images from
their current home to the new one.
In case you don't know of it, includes/DefaultSettings.php is very
useful.
Cheers,

Stangely now I can't login to my wiki.
I really don't change anything.
I also create a new test user, I confirm it, but I try to login, and
the page appears again and I'm not logged in.
Before asking to my server, there is some test I can do?
Thx
