> From: Klaus Becker <colonius(a)free.fr> > > what is the best method to import or show pdf files in mediawiki ? It's very simple to import them. Simply make sure 'pdf' is in the array $wgFileExtensions in LocalSettings.php. Then upload them like an image. Showing them is another matter. There's what appears to be a very nice extension for doing so, which allows small versions to be embedded in a wiki page, with scrolling through pages, etc. But it requires that a few GNUware programs be installed, and I haven't gotten around to that yet, so no personal experience to relate on this one. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PdfHandler > Should I export them to image file or another format ? If you make images of them, they won't be searchable. I don't think they are searchable when simply uploaded, but they at least have the potential! :::: Crash programs fail because they are based on the theory that, with nine women pregnant, you can get a baby a month. -- Wernher von Braun :::: Jan Steinman ::::

Hi, ich habe die die einschlägigen E-Mail-Confirmation-Parameter gesetzt. Das Merkmal "emailconfirmed" wird aber nicht zugewiesen, wenn ein User die Bestätigungsmail beantwortet hat, sondern nur, wenn ich es als Sysop auf der Spezialseite zuweise. Was ist zu tun? Klaus

ForeignFileRepos
by nevio carlos de alarcão 21 Dec '09

Hi, I am proud to announce that yesterday I had a meeting on the company techcology department and they have agreed to iniciate some tests with the script that allows mediawiki to use files from wikimedia commons. Meanwhile I would like to do some tests by my own on the wiki I installed locally at home. I have to write the code below to enable media files from wikimedia commons, Where do I have to write it? Is there a specific line of Localsettings? $wgForeignFileRepos[] = array( 'class' => 'ForeignAPIRepo', 'name' => 'shared', 'apibase' => 'http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php', 'fetchDescription' => true, // Optional 'descriptionCacheExpiry' => 43200, // 12 hours, optional 'apiThumbCacheExpiry' => 43200, // 12 hours, optional, but required for local thumb caching ); Thanks in advance, Nevio -- {+}Nevinho Venha para o Movimento Colaborativo http://sextapoetica.com.br !!

Redirection to subdomain within MW
by Juan de Vojníkov 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Hi, I have red some manuals and FAQs, but I haven't figured out, how to redirect my mw installation to a subdomain. Can you explain it to me? Let me give an example: I have set a subdomain:* tech.foo.com* with directory */public_html/tech*. My provider say: "tech.foo.com is equal to foo.com/tech, so you must redirect it via mw". But I dont know how. As I would like to set up wiki family, I prefer to redirect it to the subdomain, that the URLs look like tech.foo.com/index.php/~ or tech.foo.com/w/~ Thanks for help, Juan de Vojníkov

Call for translations: MediaWiki needs your language skills
by Siebrand Mazeland 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Dear translators, MediaWiki is constantly in need of your help. In the MediaWiki repository we do not only maintain MediaWiki with about 2,400 messages but we also have well over 400 MediaWiki extensions, of which some 375 have over 8,000 translatable messages. As the end of this year is near, and we are getting ready for the next major MediaWiki release (1.16), we once again call upon you for your help. Please come to http://translatewiki.net, create a user account, request translator rights and set your language in your preferences. Then check your language code at http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:LanguageStats to see where you can contribute. Chances are that you can contribute a whole lot. Thank you very much in advance for your help! Siebrand Mazeland

Hallo, I'm watching the drug spammer on and on ... 67.154.54.242 - - [18/Dec/2009:19:29:45 +0100] "GET /Wiki/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup HTTP/1.1" 302 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1" 67.154.54.242 - - [18/Dec/2009:19:29:45 +0100] "GET /Wiki/index.php?title=Spezial:Anmelden&type=signup HTTP/1.1" 200 9529 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1" 67.154.54.242 - - [18/Dec/2009:19:29:48 +0100] "GET /Wiki/index.php?title=User:Online_Pharmacy_Azelaic_Acid_Generic_Azelex&action=edit HTTP/1.1" 200 12333 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1" confuses me a bit: "Special:UserLogin" leads to "302" (blocked), but "Spezial:Anmelden" leads to "200" (success). Ok - I don't know if the spammer uses the same login string both times. But that looks like an incomplete barrier. There is only one extension running (I'm trying what is necessary): "PaddwordReset". ------------------- By the way: sometimes "Special:Contributions" is visited by the spammer - I can't find the german name and location of this side. Viele Gruesse! Helmut

Hello, Thanks Platonides. I would like to setup BBClone but i don't know where should i insert the following code to perform a test (http://help.bbclone.de/index.php?n=Setup.TestingBBClone) : <?php define("_BBC_PAGE_NAME", "Test"); define("_BBCLONE_DIR", "bbclone/"); define("COUNTER", _BBCLONE_DIR."mark_page.php"); if (is_readable(COUNTER)) include_once(COUNTER); ?>I've skip this test and tried to insert this code in the *.htaccess file of the wiki (in order to Automatically Adding the Activation Code To Every PHP Page (Apache webservers only) - http://help.bbclone.de/index.php?n=Setup.ActivationCode) after creating the file count.php at the root of the webserver : <FilesMatch "\.(php)$"> php_value short_open_tag "Off" php_value auto_append_file "/the/path/that/leads/to/count.php" </FilesMatch> Perhaps i have made a mistake in the path ? But after i can't access to the main page of my wiki. I get an error : "Internal server error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, postmaster(a)www.*************.fr and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log." I don't find the server error log in my ftp directory. I use OVH and think that's an apache server but i'm not sure!!! ???! Sorry for my english. I try to be as clear as possible. Thanks you for your help.

Language codes to rename, 1 year passed, nothing happened
by Cetateanu Moldovanu 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

On Wed Nov 26 01:04:12 UTC 2008 a strategy about subdomains rename was made public http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2008-November/047554.html But to our regret, nothing happened until now, just to make sure you do not forget, I want to reiterate how *IMPORTANT that you rename that mo.wikipedia.org -> mo-cyrl.wikipedia.org domain.* If you have IT staff shortage, *I **volunteer* to rename the subdomains dns entries. And better, just remove it altogether this bullshit since this is just romanian written with cyrillic alphabet, search on google for latin to cyrillic transliteration, and stop wasting your database space and time. Happy holidays to you.
