Post updating to 1.15.1, I began having issues adding new pages. After putting the new files in place, I ran "php update.php --aconf ../AdminSettings.php " from the maintenance directory. Now I am getting messages like the one below when I try to create a page. Any suggestions? Sep 25 12:34:22 vulpes postgres[15855]: [2-1] ERROR: permission denied for relation tag_summary Sep 25 12:34:22 vulpes postgres[15855]: [2-2] STATEMENT: SELECT /* IndexPager::reallyDoQuery (LogPager) Ps1admin */ Sep 25 12:34:22 vulpes postgres[15855]: [2-3] log_type,log_action,log_user,log_namespace,log_title,log_params,log_comment,log_id,log_deleted,log_timestamp,user_name,user_edi Sep 25 12:34:22 vulpes postgres[15855]: [2-4] tcount,ts_tags FROM logging INNER JOIN mwuser ON ((user_id=log_user)) LEFT JOIN tag_summary ON ((ts_log_id=log_id)) WHERE Sep 25 12:34:22 vulpes postgres[15855]: [2-5] (log_type != 'suppress') AND log_type = 'delete' AND log_namespace = '0' AND log_title = 'Test' AND (log_deleted & 1 = 0) AND Sep 25 12:34:22 vulpes postgres[15855]: [2-6] (user_id = log_user) ORDER BY log_timestamp DESC LIMIT 51

LDAP Authentication to Novell eDirectory
by Herb Parsons 25 Sep '09

25 Sep '09

I'm setting up a MediaWiki system, and am trying to get the system to authenticate to eDirectory. The MediaWiki server is running on a Suse Linux Enterprise 11 server (Novell), and authenticating against a Novell Netware 6.5 server. The Linux server is NOT running eDirectory, but needs to authenticate against another server. I've run a DSTRACE on the Novell server, and don't even see the MW system trying to authenticate. I cannot find the proper settings to turn on debugging tools on the MW system to see what the problem might be. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Adding new links to every page?
by Brenden Towey 25 Sep '09

25 Sep '09

Hey folks, new user here. I have a new install of MediaWiki that seems to be fine. However, I'd like to "wrap" some elements from the rest of my site around the MediaWiki. For example, add some links to the main page (not MediaWiki main page, but the site) and add a few other important site wide links that don't go to a MediaWiki page. I can do some of this with just CSS, but actually adding links seems like it's going to require some MW config. I looked at the docs, and I thought I could use the OutputPageBeforeHTML hook, but now I'm not so sure. (Link for reference: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/OutputPageBeforeHTML ) I'd like to add a couple of links to the start or end of the "topbar", but I don't see a method in the OutputPage.php object to do so. I'd also like to add some links to the "quickbar". Am I missing something? Also, I want to create all new blocks of links (new div, new list of links, etc.) just inside the <body> tag, either at the beginning or the end of the <body> block. Is there a better way of doing this besides the OutputPageBeforeHTML hook? Hopefully someone has done this before. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Sí, es evidente que se trata de un «malentendido» de ese tipo.

FCKEditor extension side-effect.
by Sam.Sexton＠thomsonreuters.com 25 Sep '09

25 Sep '09

I've just installed the FCKeditor extension on 1.15.0 and it works fine (not sure that I'll use it, given that you need to switch to Wikitext to edit templates, but I'm sure the punters will like it), BUT .... Special:Version now gives me an empty page - the white space ends just below the title. There's nothing in the Apache error log, so I'm a bit unsure of where the problem might lie. Any suggestions welcome! Thanks, /Sam This email was sent to you by Thomson Reuters, the global news and information company.

Problem with group feature of cite extension
by Verhoeven, Peter 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

Hi, We have a problem with the group feature of the cite extension. The construction below works in Mediawiki 1.14, but not in 1.12 and 1.13.2. == This should work == This should work regarding [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:REFNOTE#Separating_reference_lis ts_and_explanatory_notes] Todo:<ref group="todo">todo item 1</ref> ==Todos== <references group="todo" /> In 1.12 and 1.13.2 we get the message: Cite error 3; Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many At http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php in section Grouped references I read: This may be disabled by $wgAllowCiteGroups = false; if desired. However, it is enabled on the foundation wikis. But where can I find $wgAllowCiteGroups? Any suggestions?

Uploading Files
by Peter Velan 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

Hello, I have problems to upload some types of files LocalSettings.php: $wgCheckFileExtensions = false; $wgStrictFileExtensions = false; $wgVerifyMimeType = false; $wgFileExtensions = array( '7z', 'zip', 'rar', 'exe', 'gif', 'jpeg', 'jpg', 'png', 'odp', 'ods', 'odt', 'pdf' ); I could upload 'gif', 'jpg', 'png', 'pdf', 'ods', 'odt' ... etc. but not 'exe' and some times 'zip' Every attempt to upload an .exe gives an error "„.exe“ ist ein nicht erlaubtes Dateiformat. Erlaubt sind die Dateiformate: 7z, zip, rar, exe, gif, jpeg, jpg, png, odp, ods, odt, pdf." works: rac-exe.zip rac.odt.zip rac.ods.odt.odt rac.ods.zip.odt works *not*: rac.exe -- reports „.exe“ not allowed rac.exe.zip -- reports „.zip“ not allowed rac.ods.exe.odt -- reports „.odt“ not allowed Why does MW checks extensions if I explicitly say "$wgCheckFileExtensions = false"? It seems that a file with an an embedded "exe" part could not be uploaded! Thanks for any hint, Peter

PDF Version on Wikipedia

Hi, If I'm logged on to wikipedia.org I see an option PDF Version. I don't see this option at mediawiki.org or if I logged off from wikipedia.org. Is there an extension implementing this feature?

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].

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.
