Problem with gallery tag using DPL
by mrthetooth 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

DPL's gallery mode (mode = gallery) seems to just display a bulleted list on my wiki. Is this just an older version issue (DPL was installed in June and seems to be the same as the snapshot )? Or maybe there is some sort of "switch" I have to turn on? This is the code I'm using: <DynamicPageList> category = Screenshot of the Day namespace = File mode = gallery </DynamicPageList>

Tagline system message : single quote changed in '
by Wikimini 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

Hi, On my french wiki i have the following tagline system message : {{#if:{{NAMESPACE}}||« {{PAGENAME}} » défini et expliqué aux enfants par les enfants.}} (which means : "[Name of article]] defined and explained to children by children") Ok, this is fine. But the problem is that every single quote (') is converted to ' Example : http://fr.wikimini.org/wiki/Armel_le_Cl%C3%A9ac%27h I've noticed this problem on other french wikis. Any idea or maybe a solution ? Thank you for your help Laurent

Correct way to modify specialupload.php?
by Tech Geek 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

I want to comment out couple of lines of code in the file /var/lib/mediawiki/includes/specialupload.php file. Here are the lines: //if( $this->detectScript ( $tmpfile, $mime, $extension ) ) { // return new WikiErrorMsg( 'uploadscripted' ); //} Now I know that it is not a good idea to modify the core mediawiki files. What is the correct way to do this then?

Hiding Images
by mrthetooth 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

I sent this out about a week ago, but I'm still looking for a response. Is there a way I can keep uploaded images hidden from certain usergroups? I have created a namespace on my wiki that is viewable only to certain usergroups. The goal of this namespace is to have a place to create articles, so that I can time their release at which time I move the pages to the main namespace. So far this works well, except with images, which are of course in the special File namespace. Perhaps if there was an extension that allowed me to set the permissions of images.

Does Lucene-Search Support Japanese?
by Ross Xu 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hi there, I am using Lucene-Search 2.1/MWSearch for my MediaWiki 1.15.1. It's working fine, but it can't search any Japanese characters. I have tried (language,ja) in the lsearch-global.conf file, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Any idea would be appreciated, Ross __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift? Give the gift of Flickr! http://www.flickr.com/gift/
