Hi, I did a new skin and I found out that IE displays the default setting before displaying the layout based on the IEFixes for the skin. This is logical but it makes the display rather awkward for a brief moment. Is it possible to have a conditional statement such that the corresponding default portion of the main.css is not displayed when IE fixes are available? For reference, see JBDirectory.com <http://jbdirectory.com/>, using IE. PM Poon

Welcome to mediawiki-l. This mailing list exists for discussion and questions about the MediaWiki software[0]. Important MediaWiki-related announcements (such as new versions) are also posted to this list. Other resources. If you only wish to receive announcements, you should subscribe to mediawiki-announce[1] instead. MediaWiki development discussion, and all Wikimedia technical questions, should be directed to the wikitech-l[2] mailing list. Several other MediaWiki-related lists exist: - mediawiki-api[5] for API discussions, - mediawiki-enterprise[6] for discussion of MediaWiki in the enterprise, - mediawiki-cvs[7] for notification of commits to the Subversion repository, - mediawiki-i18n[8] for discussion of MediaWiki internationalisation support, - wikibugs-l[9] for notification of changes to the bug tracker. List administrivia (unsubscribing, list archives). To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit [12]. Archives of previous postings can be found at [3]. This list is also gatewayed to the Gmane NNTP server[4], which you can use to read and post to the list. Posting to the list. Before posting to this list, please read the MediaWiki FAQ[10]. Many common questions are answered here. You may also search the list archives to see if your question has been asked before. Please try to ask your question in a way that enables people to answer you. Provide all relevant details, explain your problem clearly, etc. You may wish to read [13], which explains how to ask questions well. To post to the list, send mail to <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>. This is a public list, so you should not include confidential information in mails you send. When replying to an existing thread, use the "Reply" or "Followup" feature of your mail client, so that clients that understand threading can sort your message properly. When quoting other messages, please use the "inline" quoting style[11], for clarity. When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message and change the subject. This will confuse peoples' mail readers, and will result in fewer people reading your mail. Instead, compose a new message for your post. Messages posted to the list have the "Reply-To" header set to the mailing list, which means that by default, replies will go to the entire list. If you are posting a reply which is only interesting to the original poster, and not the list in general, you should change the reply to only go to that person. This avoids cluttering the list with irrelevant traffic. About this message. This message is posted to the list once per week by <river(a)wikimedia.org>.

It's most likely not related with the computer having korean windows, but something other, like its browser configuration. Have you tried with a different browser? Generally, blank pages mean a PHP error. Take a look at the error log.

Configuring to allow Embedding different MIME types
by Jon.G.Bartlett＠gsk.com 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

All, I'm running a private Mediawiki within the company - and I want to embed objects other than the standard picture MIME formats. Obviously, clients need to have the software installed - and I know how to allow certain upload file types - but how do I enable the client to display the embedded object ? This seems like it should be an FAQ - but I can't find any other info. Jon. PS the file type I'm particularly interested in is ISIS sketch - which is a molecular drawing program (and is different to Moelcule e.g. jMOL). ----------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail was sent by GlaxoSmithKline Services Unlimited (registered in England and Wales No. 1047315), which is a member of the GlaxoSmithKline group of companies.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Problems with SQL2wiki extension in template

In that case, the {{{1}}} probably needs some quotes around > it. Hi, Jean-Marc, Thanks for that thought. I have already tried it. When there are double or single quotes around the formal parameter, I have no error message, but the parameter is not passed. It is as if an empty string is passed, based on what is produced in the resulting output. (BTW: the user_id is an integer in the database, and when I run it with quotes around the formal parameter, it returns results for used_id = 0, no matter what is passed in as the actual parameter.) :::: If voting could change anything, it would be illegal. -- Russell Means :::: :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality http://www.EcoReality.org ::::

User darf sich ohne erlaubs des Admins nicht anmelden
by Daniel 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hallo, wir haben hier für uns Intern in der Firma ein Wiki installiert. Wir sind alle total begeistert. Nun habe ich dazu noch eine Frage. Ist es möglich das wenn ich ein User anmeldet (neu registriert) das der Admin des Wikis dieser Anmeldung erst zustimmen muss das der User auch wirklich als erfolgreich registriert zählt? Würde dieses Feature bei uns im Wiki gerne haben wollen da nicht jeder in den Dokus rum fummeln soll ;) Freue mich schon über viel Hilfe und Zuschriften ;) -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Daniel mailto:listen@galatai.de

MediaWiki - Benutzergruppen
by sven s. 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Moin moin, ich habe da ein kleines Anliegen. Ich möchte, die Benutzergruppe: Benutzer für ein paar Logins meiner Wiki zuweisen. Jedoch habe ich das Problem, dass ich nur folgende Gruppen zur Auswahl habe: Bot, Bürokraten, Administratoren Alle drei Gruppen die mir zur Auswahl stehen sind für die Logins zu viel. Oder besser gesagt für die Leute, die dann die Logins nutzen. Wer kann mir da weiterhelfen, die Gruppe: Benutzer "aktiv" zu machen?? Gruß Sven

Hi, I created a new skin in MediaWiki 1.14. It works fine with Firefox but the log-in page is not showing in IE 6.0. I wonder why. Please see page at JBDirectory.com<http://jbdirectory.com/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Special:U…>. This page is rendered correctly in Firefox, though. PM Poon

Are There Per-User Page Viewing Statistics Available?
by SM X 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hello there! I realize this is a long shot, but just in case: are there an per-user page viewing statistics available, i.e. who (which user) accessed which page and when; so, similar to History, but which would show a log of page visits instead of page edits? Thanks, SMX
