Add a link to the "print/export" box at the Sidebar
by Ross Xu 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

Greetings, When I install the Collection extension to my MW 1.15.1, it creates the "print/export" box to the Sidebar automatically, which is very good. Now, I'd like to add the link of Category:Books (bookshelf) to the "print/export" box, but I can't figure out how to do it. Any idea would be greatly appreciated, Ross __________________________________________________________________ Ask a question on any topic and get answers from real people. Go to Yahoo!

Collection Extension: How to remove “References” appended to downloaded PDF?
by Ross Xu 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

Greetings, I can't figure out how to remove the section “References” that is automatically appended to every downloaded PDF. I don’t need contributors’ names to appear on the PDFs. For the more, if I could replace it with my copyright info that would be great. Any idea would be appreciated, Ross __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift? Give the gift of Flickr! http://www.flickr.com/gift/

Adding FCKeditor to intranet wiki?
by David Gerard 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

New job, new intranet Mediawiki installation! This one is 1.12. I want to add FCKeditor to it - particularly as current versions are very usable indeed - but the mediawiki.org page is entirely unclear on the right way to go: * Kludge it into 1.12 however feasible? * Upgrade to 1.15 and kludge it in? * Upgrade to 1.16 when that's out and apparently pull from svn? I do plan to upgrade to 1.16 when feasible, but the wiki is in a nascent state (people still copy'n'pasting docs from the previous horrible intranet) so I'd like to get it in there ASAP. What have others done? - d.

Files and Folder names with spaces - linking issues
by Kushal Koolwal 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

I am running mediawiki on Linux a box. Here is what I have noticed: [file://G:\TEMP\linktest\test.pdf] works fine But when there are spaces in the folder/file name (for example:G:\TEMP\link test\test.pdf): [file://G:\TEMP\link%20test\test.pdf] does not work However if you add an extra "/" in the file:// keyword like this: [file:///G:\TEMP\link%20test\test.pdf] works fine. Is this something normal? Is there any setting (in Mediawiki) by which adding the extra "/" can be taken care off. It is easy for technical users but non-technical users can get frustrated if they have to remember these details.

Install Failed - didn't get a valid database resource
by Bill Thoen 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hopefully this is an easy one, but I don't know where to start. I just tried to install MediaWiki 1.15.1 on my Fedora Core 9 Linux box, but it failed to install claiming that it got a bad resource. Here's what the installer said: Checking the version of Postgres... *Warning*: pg_version(): supplied argument is not a valid PostgreSQL link resource in */var/www/html/wiki/includes/db/DatabasePostgres.php* on line *1078* *FAILED*. Required version is 8.1. You have 7.3 or earlier But I know I have version 8.3.3. loaded so I don't know how it's coming up with this conclusion. I wrote a little PHP script to double-check pg_version(), and as expected, I got: Version is 8.3.1 Server is 8.3.3 Protocol is 3 Does anyone know how I can fix this and get this wiki wiki'ing? Many thanks! - Bill Thoen

Drupal 6 Themer OR Recommended List-Serve?
by Tim Ware 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

I hope this isn't too off-topic or a disallowed topic, but.... First, I’m interested to know if anyone can recommend any developer(s) skilled in creating themes for Drupal 6 – we have an immediate need for additional resources along these lines, and would be interested in speaking to anyone who fits that bill (particularly from developers in the San Francisco Bay Area). Second, does anyone know of any listservs or similar resources dedicated to Drupal theme creation? We regularly follow discussions on Drupal.org for updates to modules, discussion of bugs etc, but wondering if there are any communities out there that focus more specifically on Drupal’s presentation layer? Would love to hear any recommendations! Thanks for any help here.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Does EzMwLucene Support Seaching Key Words in, Different Language?
by Chris Reigrut 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

That is a current limitation with Unicode support between Lucene and Mediawiki. It didn't appear to be a huge issue, more just some slight differences in how the two products render/handle Unicode, but it's a big enough problem that we had to put it off at the time. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2009 06:59:12 -0800 (PST) > From: Ross Xu <rossxunix(a)yahoo.ca> > Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Does EzMwLucene Support Seaching Key Words in > Different Language? > To: mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org > Message-ID: <527718.74648.qm(a)web30507.mail.mud.yahoo.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 > > Greetings, > ? > I am using EzMwLucene for MediaWiki 1.15.1 as the search engine. > > If I search Japanese characters, I always get "No page text matches" even though the pages exist. > > If one of the Search results (by searching English words) contains Japanese characters, they all show as question marks (?????????). > > Is this a bug, or a problem of my configuration? > Any idea would be greatly appreciated. > Ross > -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Reigrut Home: +1-303-682-9630 chris(a)reigrut.net Mobile: +1-303-960-9831 http://www.reigrut.net "You live and learn, or you don't live long" -- Robert A.

How Relevance of Search Results Is Calculated?
by Ross Xu 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Greetings, I like the EzMwLucene search engine for my MediaWiki 1.15.1. But the search results are listed in wrong order. If a serach result has full text match, it should be listed at the top, but it's put on the third position. The ones listed above it have higher value of relevance, but the words are just partially matched. How could I adjust the relevance, or change the way of list order? Any idea is appreciated.

Does EzMwLucene Support Seaching Key Words in Different Language?
by Ross Xu 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Greetings, I am using EzMwLucene for MediaWiki 1.15.1 as the search engine. If I search Japanese characters, I always get "No page text matches" even though the pages exist. If one of the Search results (by searching English words) contains Japanese characters, they all show as question marks (?????????). Is this a bug, or a problem of my configuration? Any idea would be greatly appreciated. Ross __________________________________________________________________ Make your browsing faster, safer, and easier with the new Internet Explorer® 8.
