The errors may be logged by apache at its log, at another place stated at php.ini, or not logged at all and needing to be configured.

display recentchanges on main page?
by Phillip Rhodes 04 Jul '09

04 Jul '09

I would like to display some of the more recent changes on the mediawiki main page that users's first see. I was thinking that I would have to write an extension to do this, and base my code upon whatever the Special:Recentchanges page is doing. Is this a reasonable belief? Would you do it differently? Thanks!

Hey, all, Am trying to get the FileLink extension to work with no success. I also installed FCKeditor earlier today; do they play nicely together? Anyway, here's what I have in LocalSettings.php as far as customizations-thanks in advance for help/advice (oh, I'm open to comments about other things we've customized, too): # Changes made to LocalSettings.php: # Added several file formats to upload array, April 23 2009 $wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'doc', 'docx', 'xls', 'xlsx', 'pdf', 'ppt', 'pptx' ); # Require users to log in before editing and viewing, April 23 2009 $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; # Link to Auraria Library logo and favicon, April 27 2009 $wgLogo = '/wiki/images/0/09/Intranetlogo.png'; #$wgFavicon = '/images/0/09/Intranetlogo.png'; # Added single sign on with Josh Gimer, method at http://www.mollerus.net/tom/blog/2008/09/single_signon_to_mediawiki_113_usi…, May 19 2009 require_once('includes/Auth_remoteuser.php'); $wgAuth = new Auth_remoteuser(); # Added FCK editor per instructions from Dave Hodgins, UCCS, July 2 2009 include("extensions/FCKeditor/FCKeditor.php"); # Added FileLink Extension, http://assela.pathirana.net, July 2 2009-not working... $wgFilelinkExtensionPath = "extensions/FileLinkExtension"; include("$IP/$wgFilelinkExtensionPath/FileLinkExtension.php"); $wgUrlProtocols[] = "file:"; $wgUrlProtocols = array( 'http://', 'https://', 'file://', 'mailto:', ); array_push( $wgUrlProtocols, "file://" ); # End customizations to LocalSettings.php Nina McHale, MA/MSLS Assistant Professor, Web Librarian Auraria Library http://library.auraria.edu/~nmchale/ Facebook<http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=672599042> Twitter: ninermac Serving the University of Colorado Denver, Metropolitan State College of Denver, and the Community College of Denver 1100 Lawrence Street Denver, CO 80204 303-556-4729

How best to set up hooks in an extension function ?
by Richard Alan 03 Jul '09

03 Jul '09

I thought I had read somewhere that it was not a good idea to set function hooks inside of a class in this way. what follows is just one of many examples out there: $wgExtensionFunctions[] = 'wfSetupCSS' function wfSetupCSS() { global $wgCSS; $wgCSS = new CSS(); } class CSS { function CSS() { global $wgParser, $wgCSSMagic; $wgParser->setFunctionHook($wgCSSMagic, array($this, 'magicCss')); } Any other suggestions on how to implement this type of functionality. Would it be better not to instantiate the CSS class and just use a static class with a function to set the hook like this: $wgExtensionFunctions[] = 'CSS::SetupCSS' Where SetupCSS was a static function to set the hook. Sorry if the question appears a bit dumb but I'm interested to hear what the more experienced guys think. Thanks, Richard

Weird problem
by Henny Savenije 03 Jul '09

I have a weird problem. I have a wiki installed here http://www.genealogy.henny-savenije.pe.kr/mediawiki/index.php/FAQ but if I look at it with the computer where Korean windows is installed, I get a blank page. I was also wondering if that might happen with other languages and of course I would like to know why it happens. For my son I installed a wiki in Korean and that works fine, and I am planning to install a wiki for a Korean law firm but of course these things should happen there. Anybody has any ideas?

mwsuggest misses imported articles?
by Daniel Barrett 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

After using Special:Import to import about 200 articles, I discovered that none of these articles appear in search results. For example, if an imported article is titled "Banana milkshake", and you search for "Banana", the Page Title Matches do NOT include "Banana milkshake." Additionally, the AJAX auto-suggest feature (mwsuggest) does not display "Banana milkshake" when you type "Banana milk". I was able to fix the search problem by running maintenance/rebuildtextindex.php and bouncing mysqld and httpd. However, it did not fix the mwsuggest problem. Neither did maintenance/updateSearchIndex.php, nor extensions/TitleKey/rebuildTitleKeys.php. Then, on a whim, I tried maintenance/rebuildrecentchanges.php. And voila, mwsuggest is fixed. Can anyone explain why this worked? Is there a better way to update mwsuggest without wiping my recentchanges table (and all its valuable patrolling information)? This is MediaWiki 1.14. Thanks. DanB

I see. So say I decided to use the the maintenance script to get my password, where would I enter the "php changePassword.php --user='username' --password='foo'" in changePassword.php? Thanks, Alan.
