dumpBackup.php with postgres DB
by Mike 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

I'm new to MediaWiki and tried the dumpBackup.php on a WAPP stack install. I've set AdminSettings.php user and password to match those in LocalSettings.php as described in the manual. I receive the following error when executing the script: DB connection error: Postgres functions missing, have you compiled PHP with the --with-pgsql option? MediaWiki was installed with compiling and source; strictly dropping its source php and running the install scripts from html. Is this a well-known installation error? The MediaWiki is operating as expected from the html server. Thanks for any pointers.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Any ETA on 1.16?

Might one innocently assume, without fear of a nasty surprize later, that before 1.16 is released all of the maintenance scripts will be tested and confirmed to work as advertized? ----- Original Message ----- > From: Chad > Real Soon Now ;-) > > Actually, Tim's expressed an interest in getting 1.16 out > the door.

My extension messes up the tabs
by Jim Hu 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

I'm working on a special page extension and noticed that under some conditions $wgOut->addWikiText($this->function()) creates a gap between the tabs and the content div. I think I've seen this before but I don't recall why. When I use $wgOut->addWikiText("foo"), there's no gap. But I can't figure out what is in $this->function that could be creating the gap. the method just returns a string. MW 1.14 Any thoughts on what I should be looking for?

Pouvez m'indiquer à quel niveau se situe mon problème ? Merci -- Stephane CROSES

Bug 4421 - Image file extension should not be part of the name
by Rob Lanphier 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hi folks, Exec summary: I'm looking for help on a possible change needed to FileRepo::publish() API, since it currently makes some assumptions that seem to be incompatible with fixing bug 4421 ("Image file extension should not be part of the name"): https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4421 I'm also more generally looking for feedback on my approach to 4421. Details: A while back, I decided to try my hand at fixing bug 4421. It's a longstanding usability wart, and I figured it'd be a good way to re-familiarize myself with the codebase. It's mostly working, though working through all of the edge cases is a bit of a game of whack-a-mole. Most of the complexity comes from needing to store the files on the filesystem with appropriate file extensions, since these get served directly from the filesystem from Apache. Thus, there's a lot of convoluted logic for tacking on the file extension in the appropriate spots. You can read the comments on 4421 to understand why things are the way they are now. An example of something that isn't working that I need advice on is this: with my modified version, it's possible to upload a jpeg to a location without an extension, then upload a png to that same location. The problem comes in LocalFile::publish(). Here's the call it makes from that function: $status = $this->repo->publish( $srcPath, $dstRel, $archiveRel, $flags ); This causes two things to happen: 1. copy $dstRel to $archiveRel 2. copy $srcPath to $dstRel. The problem here is with uploading a png over the top of a jpg. For example, if the title name is "File:Foo", then the filename for the first version of the file will be "Foo.jpg", and the replacement will be "Foo.png". So, if we pass "Foo.jpg" to $dstRel, then step 1 works, but step 2 fails. If we pass "Foo.png", then the opposite problem occurs. The only solution it would seem is to rework FileRepo::publish() to accommodate this case (adding another parameter). That doesn't seem *so* bad, though being an interface change. Here's what I'm hoping folks will weigh in on: a. If reworking FileRepo::publish() is the way to do it. b. If my general approach on 4421 seems sound, and to get a sense if there's going to be objections to landing this in trunk soon (presumably after 1.16). I've just updated my latest version here: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=6885&action=diff Feel free to answer here or to ping me on IRC ("robla" on Freenode #mediawiki) Thanks! Rob

Integrating Mediawiki with S3 hosting
by Ryan 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

I posted this a few days ago but it never made it through somehow, I am trying again. I have seen a few posts in the last while from people asking how to alter mediawiki to take advantage of Amazon S3 as a file hosting and serving service. This is a solution to integrate mediawiki with S3 so that Amazon serves all of the images: http://static.highinbc.com/staticwiki/S3%20Mediawiki%20integration.html Comments, recommendations, improvements welcome. -Ryan Bushby
