Importing XML with restrictions tag
by CVB 17 Sep '09

> Is this just reserved syntax for a planned feature, or should it > actually work? I do not think it works. I googled and and only found your post: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/mediawiki/178667?page=last and some extensions. I looked at the code of "importDump.php", but could not find anything useful there, either. I would try a different approach. When you run "importDump.php" you could modify it or your script and add: "INSERT INTO mw_page_restrictions (pr_page, pr_type, pr_level, pr_cascade, pr_user, pr_expiry, pr_id) VALUES(4, 'edit', 'sysop', 0, NULL, 'infinity', 1);" 4 = "page_id" in table "mw_page" "autoconfirmed" could be used instead of "sysop", if you want to grant access to registered users. But keep in mind: "MediaWiki is not designed to be a CMS, or to protect sensitive data. To the contrary, it was designed to be as open as possible. Thus it does not inherently support full featured, air-tight protection of private content. But with the massive increase of MediaWiki use in corporate intranets and the many CMS-like features emerging, demand for tighter security is emerging." (Quote from "Security issues with authorization extensions") http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Security_issues_with_authorization_extensions Regards Claus

Perhaps I am wrong, but I think you will need to program an Extension. The following Syntax will NOT work: [http://ix.de [[File:2009-06-04_pic.png]]] I have take more than 20 minutes to search http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings but I could not find anything to - use external images - create external hyperlinks with thumbnails Therefore you have to write your own extension, which should not be too hard in this matter. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extensions Regards, Claus PS: If you have never written an Extension, here is a short example: --- $wgExtensionFunctions[] = 'example'; function example() { global $wgParser; $wgParser->setHook('example', 'process_input'); } function process_input($input, $args, $parser) { return 'Hello World! Your input: ' . htmlspecialchars($input); } ---

MWSearchUpdater setup instructions?
by Daniel Barrett 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

For the MWSearch extension for Lucene, where can I find instructions for using the MWSearchUpdater.php and MWSearchUpdateHooks.php features? I'd like to update the Lucene index on every article save/move/delete. But I can't get this working. I have Lucene 2.1 running just fine with MediaWiki 1.15, serving search queries. I also have PEAR XML_RPC installed. But when I try: $ php luceneUpdate.php status Unknown XML-RPC error LocalSettings.php contains: # Lucene search $wgSearchType = 'LuceneSearch'; $wgLuceneHost = 'localhost'; $wgLucenePort = 8123; require_once("extensions/MWSearch/MWSearch.php"); $wgLuceneSearchVersion = 2.1; require_once("extensions/MWSearch/MWSearchUpdateHook.php"); I noticed that MWSearchUpdater.php has $mwSearchUpdatePort = 8124 rather than 8123, but when I change it to 8123, I get a 404 and lsearchd says "Unknown request /SearchUpdater". Thanks for any help. DanB

import users
by André Meunier 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hello, I have again to import a lot of users. I have installed two extensions : MassUserImport and ImportUsers. The first one is the one that suits my needs the most. I need the possibility to import users without giving passwords, and the MassUserImport is great for that, as it sends an email to the user registered with an email, and the option to choose a new pwd. Though I would need to give usernames other than the first part of the email, as it is done. But I don't know how that would be done.. André

No wonder RSS replays every day on smaller wikis: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20601 (Do not put "diff generator" comments into feeds) You won't be affected on larger wikis, but with wikis with just a couple of changes a week, you'll go out of your mind... can someone please implement the fix?

Viewing Visio vsd files inline in Internet explorer
by Verhoeven, Peter 15 Sep '09

Hi, Is it possible to show Visio vsd files inline in a Wiki page? The syntax [[Image:Test.vsd]] gives me only a link, instead of showing the file itself.
