Re: [Mediawiki-l] Recent changes clean up extension?
by Eric K 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Thanks! I tried it and it works: it hides everything while leaving an anonymous kind of log entry e.g.: (User creation log) - 15:38 (username removed) (log action removed) (comment removed) but I'd prefer it would let me completely delete the log entry from the RC page. Still, its better than nothing! thanks --- On Sat, 7/18/09, Benjamin Lees <emufarmers(a)gmail.com> wrote: From: Benjamin Lees <emufarmers(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Recent changes clean up extension?

"The requested page or revision cannot be found" for many articles
by Anton Grozny 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

Hi, I've imported wikipedia's xml dump to my local mediawiki 1.14.0 But when I click around the articles, I get many errors " The requested page or revision cannot be found The database did not find a page or revision that it was expecting to find. " While articles with same titles exist on wikipedia. What's weird, I come across such errors when clicking Special:Random link. I believe if article was removed, I shouldn't get to these pages at all. Any ideas anyone? Thanks, Anton

MW 1.15.1 database problems?
by Thomas 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

First, the site is www.tarheelwiki.com I am using a skin called roundedblue2 which is located here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gallery_of_user_styles#Rounded_Blue_2 For some reason I cannot create new pages on my wiki due to this database error: A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "efUpdateCheckUserData". MySQL returned error "1146: Table 'notquite_thw.cu_changes' doesn't exist (localhost)". I also get the following error after immediately clicking on the link in the validation emails: Confirm e-mail address Invalid confirmation code. The code may have expired. Can anyone help me with this issue? I just installed everything fresh 2 nights ago. Here is my system configuration: MediaWiki 1.15.1 PHP 5.2.9 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL 5.0.81-community-log Thanks, Thomas

LDAP configuration
by sirisha mosalikanti 25 Jul '09

25 Jul '09

I have the following configuration : I have Mediawiki 1.13.3 and semantic mediawiki 1.4.1 on ubuntu server 2.6.17-9-server with LDAP installed. This serves as a main server. I had to make a test server which is the exact replica of the main server, which i did by taking database backup and the mediawiki back up. The test server works fine for whitelisted pages. But where user login is required to view certain pages, it doesn't accept the login information. What modifications should be done in LocalSettings.php to redirect the LDAP authentication to the main server? Is it possible at all? Or should I have to install LDAP on the test server as well? Please help. -- Sirisha. Everyday is an oppurtinity to make a new happy ending :)

Hi all, I have Mediawiki 1.13.3 and semantic mediawiki 1.4.1 on ubuntu server 2.6.17-9-server. When I try using deleteBatch.php script in <wikiinstallation>/maintenance/ to delete a page, it says, "skipping non-existent page" even when the page very well exists. I have pasted the the URL of the page in a text file and used it. Please let me know how to make it work. Thank you, Sirisha -- Sirisha. Everyday is an oppurtinity to make a new happy ending :)

Enhancement Suggestion for Extension:New User Email Notification
by Jack D. Pond 25 Jul '09

25 Jul '09

I don't know who is maintaining this extension since we lost robchurch, but I thought I would post here for suggestions before making a change. The original intent of the extension was to have customizable email notifications sent when a new user creates an account. The recommended modifications would allow the customization and extension of parameters that are passed to the MediaWiki:Newusernotifbody message, and subsequently a far more flexible message that is sent in the notification. In the example, I've used a facilitated notification and approval process for users requesting access to a wiki. For full details, see: <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:New_User_Email_Notification#En hancement_Recommendation_-_Configurable_Message_parameters_--jdpond_01:31.2C _25_July_2009_.28UTC.29> http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:New_User_Email_Notification#Enh ancement_Recommendation_-_Configurable_Message_parameters_--jdpond_01:31.2C_ 25_July_2009_.28UTC.29 The changes should be backwards and forward compatible with any site that currently uses the extension, and the additional processing demands are minimal if any. New parameters to be passed to the MediaWiki:Newusernotifbody message would be added in the LocalSettings, like this example: require_once("$IP/extensions/NewUserNotif/NewUserNotif.php"); $wgNewUserNotifSenderParam[] = '$user->getEmail()'; // $7 email address (example) This change would also allow those of us who've used the existing extension (by modifying the class directly), to have forward compatibility and not have to hack at for upgrades. Suggestions? Approval? Bad Idea? Jack D. Pond "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." -- Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill(1874-1965)

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Can I make the "no text" page the default?

You can > search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, > or edit this page." message instead of the edit box. Can this be > done? Yes, you can. For guest users it is quite simple editing "LocalSettings.php": --- $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; --- That means: Guest users cannot edit anymore and the edit page is disabled. It might be more tricky if you want to do it for every user. Best regards, Claus ---------- This message was sent from a MailNull anti-spam account.

Problem with background-color in Template tables after upgrading to 1.15.1?
by Clayton 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

I upgraded the OpenOffice.org Wiki from 1.13.3 to 1.15.1, and have come across a problem that I cannot yet resolve. On this Wiki we use a navigation TOC Template for building up book-like navigation through common topics/wikibooks. It is split into 2 parts, a MasterTOC that sets out the major layout components and a topic spcific TOC that provides the links to Wiki articles. This is the MasterTOC: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Template:Documentation/MasterTOC This TOC defines a background color for the booktitle part as part of a <div>. After upgrading to 1.15.1 (with no changes to the Template), the color is no longer being rendered. I'm assuming that there is an option that is new/different in 1.15.1? but I'm not sure where to look. Any tips or ideas?
