Upgrading Mediawiki
by Ekompute .info 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hi, I finally managed to upgrade my database from Version 1.12 to 1.14. Everything seems to be okay except that the website doesn't show any articles. I know I have to transfer the images folder over. What else do I need to do? Do I need to transfer the docs folder too? My website is at http://teknologi-maklumat.com/teknologi/index.php/Main_Page It really looks like a new installation! PM Poon

Hi, My understanding of the project is , we have to obtain the geo information of wikipedia article (if it has one) and we have to make a cluster of all the pages that has same geo information. Please let me know more details on the project. I am very excited to work on this project. Thank you.

Leading or trailing spaces in template parameters
by Kenneth Porter 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

I want to pass an argument to a template that contains a leading and trailing space. It looks like the template parser is stripping these before evaluating the parameter. Is there a way to prevent that? Here's an example page: <http://www.wowwiki.com/Guild:M_A_%28Bleeding_Hollow_US%29> I want to pass " M A " to the Guildbox template's name parameter. It will get expanded into a string to render in an off-site URL. Currently it gets rendered as "M+A", not "+M+A+", so the URL doesn't connect to the desired page.

installation problem
by Martin Smith 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

I am trying to install version 1.14.0 on lunarpages site, I have uploaded via scp from a mac running 10.5.6, have unpacked the tarball and followed the recommended procedure to set up. I am getting a 500 error in the browser, and the error log shows the following 2 lines [Tue Mar 31 09:20:45 2009] [error] [client 80.177.154.53] Premature end of script headers: /home/mydomain/public_html/wiki/index.php SoftException in Application.cpp:544: Directory "/home/silve112/public_html/wiki" is writeable by group note, I have successfully set this up on a freebsd box to test at home, can someone please point me to what is wrong here, a permissions problem? Or is it a corrupted upload? -- Martin

MediaWiki:Common.js not loaded
by Samuel Lampa 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

MediaWiki:Common.js doesn't get "loaded" into the generated HTML from my wiki (MW 1.14.0). I've tried making a full refresh (Ctrl + Shift + R in firefox) and adding $wgUseSiteJs = true; to LocalSettings.php The user js is loaded though, i.e. I see the following line in the generated HTML: <script type="text/javascript" src="/w/index.php?title=User:My-username/monobook.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript"></script> Are there some extra settings needed? Else, the following lines of code in includes/SkinTemplate.php seem suspicious to me... if( $wgUseSiteJs ) { $jsCache = $this->loggedin ? '&smaxage=0' : ''; $tpl->set( 'jsvarurl', self::makeUrl('-', "action=raw$jsCache&gen=js&useskin=" . urlencode( $this->getSkinName() ) ) ); } else { $tpl->set('jsvarurl', false); } Will they not generate something like ...User:My-username/monobook.js... rather than ...MediaWiki:Common.js... in the generated script inclusion tag? Kind Regards Samuel lampa

Hi I use the variable {{PAGESINCATEGORY:category_name}}, but would prefer to display the total of the number of pages in a category + 1. That is, if the total number of pages is 6, I'd like 7 to be displayed. Does anyone know a way to do this? Best Derrick

Re-aranging the elements in the sidebar
by Claus Juhl Knudsen 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, I want to display the p-personal portlet at the bottom of the sidebar. Getting the portlet from the top-left corner of the screen (I'm using Monobook) is no problem, but it displays above the navigation and toolbox portlets, and it can't be moved via 'Mediawiki:Sidebar'. What to do? Thanks -- Claus Juhl Knudsen
