Private notepad extension?
by Eric K 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Yahoo mail has a great feature of Notepad which I like. Is it possible to have a private notepad extension where I can save stuff right there on the wiki? Maybe a User/notepad thing where only the user can see and edit that page. Any easy way of doing this?

Unable to upload files after migrating wiki from Windows to Linux
by Chris Lieb 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I recently migrated my wiki from Windows to Linux. Apache, PHP, MySQL, and MediaWiki were the same versions on both computers. I am running MediaWiki 1.15.1, Apache 2.2.11, PHP 5.2.10, and MySQL 5.0.70. I want to upload a new version of an image, so I navigate to it's page and click "Upload a new version of this file". This takes me to the upload page, where the "Destination filename" is already populated. I enter the path to the file to upload and a brief description and click "Upload file". The file is submitted to the server, but then I am sent to Special:Upload instead of the file's page. I have tried following the "How to debug" article at MediaWiki's website, but I don't see any error being output anywhere. I have enabled logging and watched it as I upload a file, but it seems mysteriously void of any output looking like an upload. The only hint that an upload happened is due to the multipart request sent to the server. The images directory is owned by both the apache user and the apache group and is 755 for directories and 644 for files. I can save revisions to articles without problem. Images show up just fine on the wiki. Does anyone know what is wrong?

Is there any way to limit the length of a page title? Similar to $wgMaxNameChars, but for page titles. Thanks

editing protected pages
by sirisha mosalikanti 04 Aug '09

Hi, I have the following configuration. MediaWiki Version 1.13.3 Semantic MediaWiki Version 1.4.1 UBUNTU 2.6.27-9-server There are some pages in wiki, which have been protected a few years ago. Even the sysops are not able to edit them. I have found on google search that only users from "autoconfirmed" group can edit them. that too who are registered for more than a configured time. I have added myself to autoconfirmed group. But could someone please let me know what the configured time is? And in which file this period can be changed? Thanks in advance, Sirisha -- Sirisha.

CSS help for new skin
by Ekompute .info 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi, I just shifted my left panel to the right and am facing a problem with the floating footer. It floats immediately after what is now the right panel. I tried to create a block for the text area and the panel so that it works as one monolithic piece such that whatever is the height of either, the footer will always be below these 2 sections. However, it did not work. I then tried to add clear:all to the footer CSS but it didn't work either. I also tried to add <br clear=all> for footer in my php file for the new skin but nothing seems to work. Any help is greatly appreciated. -- PM Poon * http://dummipedia.org The 5-Minute Concise Encyclopedia * http://dummipedia.com The Dummipedia Amazon Online Store

Possible SQL Injection
by Liz Kim 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

This may be more of an Apache question but was wondering if any other MediaWiki users have seen this... There was someone who we assume has been trying to break into our web system request URLS such as /index.php?title=%53%70%65%63%69%61%6C%3A%52%65%63%65%6E%74%63%68%61%6E%67%65%73&d ays=14&limit=100&hidepatrolled=1%27%2F%2A%4E%2A%2F%6F%72%2F%2A%4E%2A%2F1%3D1%2F%2A%4E%2A%2F%61%6E%64%2F%2A%4E%2A%2F1%3D1%2F%2A%4E%2A%2F%61%6E%64%2F%2A%4E%2A% 2F2%3D2%2F%2A%4E%2A%2F%61%6E%64%2F%2A%4E%2A%2F%27%61%27%3D%27%61 which in turn really is... /index.php?title=Special%3ARecentchanges&days=14&limit=100&hidepatrolled=1%27%2F*N*%2For%2F*N*%2F1%3D1%2F*N*%2Fand%2F*N*%2F1%3D1%2F*N*%2Fand%2F*N*%2F2%3D2%2F*N*%2Fand%2F*N*%2F%27a% 27%3D%27a Some requests look like possible SQL injections.. /index.php?title=Special%3ARecentchanges%2F*N*%2For%2F*N*%2F(select%2F*N*%2Fcount(*)%2F*N*%2Ffrom%2F*N*%2FINFORMATION_SCHEMA.tables%2F*N*%2Fwhere%2F*N*%2Fadmin_loginname%3Dadmin_loginname)%3D-1%2F*N*%2Fand%2F*N*%2F0%3D0&hidepatrolled=1&days=14&limit=100&hideanons=1 We haven't seen this happening in a while now but we cannot be 100% positive that the visitor was not successful in getting in..
