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?

Wikinotify configuration?
by Bill Traynor 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

I'd like to push wiki changes to an IRC channel (#elinux) on freenode and I can't seem to get Wikinotify working. The documentation indicates to set three variables, which I've set to: $psyctarget = "irc://freenode.net/elinux"; $psychost = "udp://freenode.net"; $psycport = 4404; Am I missing something? Thanks Bill The full psychnotify.php looks like this: $psyctarget = "irc://freenode.net/elinux"; $psychost = "udp://freenode.net"; $psycport = 4404; /* in an ideal world, there is nothing you need to do below here */ function psycnotify($article, $user, $text, $summary, $isminor, $iswatch, $section) { global $psyctarget, $psychost; $url = "http://" . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; $url .= str_replace("index.php?title=", "index.php/", substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 0, -14)); # header $s = ":_target\t$psyctarget\n" # . ":_encoding\tutf-8\n" # PSYC uses UTF-8 anyway . "\n" # move on from routing layer to application layer . ":_nick_wiki\t". strToLower($user->mName) ."\n" . ":_article\t". $article->mTitle->mTextform ."\n" . ":_page\t$url$section\n"; if ($section) { $s .= ":_section\t$section\n"; if ($summary && ($p = strpos($summary, " */ "))) $summary = substr($summary, $p + 4); } if ($summary) $s .= ":_summary\t$summary\n"; # method $mc = "_notice_update_wiki"; if ($isminor) $mc .= "_minor"; $s .= $mc ."\n"; # body $s .= "(Wiki:[_nick_wiki]) has made a " . ($isminor ? "minor" : "major") . " change in [_page]\n"; if ($summary) $s .= "saying: [_summary]\n"; # deliver, as simple as that $udp = fsockopen($psychost, $psycport); fwrite($udp, ".\n". $s .".\n"); fclose($udp); return true; } $wgHooks['ArticleSaveComplete'][] = array('psycnotify');

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].

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.

Two new extensions: Maps and Semantic Maps
by Yaron Koren 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

Hi, this is actually from Jeroen De Dauw; I'm just sending it because this mailing list seems to be bouncing his emails... -Yaron ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey, First of all, let me introduce myself. I'm Jeroen De Dauw, one of the GSoC students for Wikimedia foundation this year. During the last 2 months I've been working on 2 new mapping extensions for MediaWiki and Semantic MediaWiki<http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki>[0] with Yaron Koren <http://yaronkoren.com/> [1] as mentor. You can read more about this at my blog <http://blog.bn2vs.com/tag/semantic-maps/> [2]. The first version of both extensions has just been released. These are the extensions: Maps Maps <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Maps> [3] is an extension that provides the ability to display coordinate data, using multiple mapping services, including Google Maps [4], OpenLayers [5] and Yahoo Maps [6], and allows users to geocode addresses. Semantic Maps Semantic Maps <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Maps> [7] is an extension that adds semantic capabilities to the Maps extension, and therefore provides the ability to add, view and edit coordinate data stored through the Semantic MediaWiki extension, using multiple mapping services. These include Google Maps, OpenLayers and Yahoo Maps. Semantic Maps and Maps are based on Semantic Google Maps and Semantic Layers, and are meant to replace these extensions. For this extension to work, you need to have both Semantic MediaWiki and Maps installed. You can download both extensions via their documentation pages. Suggestions and feature requests are welcome.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] semantic form and template into template
by Yaron Koren 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

Hi, There's no way to do that - you should instead separate out the template calls, so it looks like: {{Meeting |mon=mounth |days=days |year=year |where=where |title=title }} {{Poster |title=title |authors=authors }} ...etc. I should note that all questions about Semantic Forms should go to the main Semantic MediaWiki mailing list: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/semediawiki-user -Yaron > Subject: [Mediawiki-l] semantic form and template into template > Date: Dienstag, 21.

Can I make the "no text" page the default?
by Tim Hogan 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

I would like to setup my wiki so that when I click on a page that is blank I get the "There is currently no text in this page. 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? Regards, Tim

Mediawiki Customized Skin: Firefox vs IE incompatibility
by Ekompute .info 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

Hi, I am trying to design a new skin and although it looks good on Firefox, it looks broken in IE. I am no programmer and to be able to design a new skin that works in Firefox is admittedly an achievement by my own lousy standards. Instead taking care of IE fixes with its many many versions and other browsers as well, I am thinking of using my skin only for Firefox browers and monobook for the rest. How do I tweak this code in LocalSettings.php: $wgDefaultSkin = 'newskin'; I guess it's something like: if Firebox browser, use 'newskin', else use 'monobook'. PM Poon

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Backing up Subject:
by Norbert Hoeller 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

Expanding on the advice to test the backups, I upgrade MediaWiki sites by: * renaming the current MediaWiki directory structure * restoring my most recent file backup to the existing directory * defining a new MySQL database and restoring my most recent mysqldump * updating the MediaWiki settings to point to the new database * verifying that MediaWiki is working * installing the upgrade and following the upgrade procedure This allows me to verify that my backups are complete and also lets me back out the upgrade quickly if problems arise. Regards, Norbert > What is a good way to confirm that my backup backed up the entire site? > Apart from the site, I also need the images directory, the extensions > directory, and the php configuration file (I forget the name). > Anything else?
