Missing something for displaying widgets
by Bruce Whealton 24 Oct '10

24 Oct '10

Hello all, So, I installed the Semantic MediaWiki Bundle on a site (http://futurewavedesigns.com/wiki/) and tried to put in a SlideShare presentation widget into an article. Obviously that didn't work because I had not defined the Widget template. I read the documentation where it said "Copy the complete source code for this article and put it into a page named Widget:SlideShare." Ok, so I tried to search for that thinking it would be not found and I'd have the red link for creating the page. No, it just wasn't found. I then manually entered the path into my browser and I see a page without the option to edit it. Yes, I'm logged in as admin. I can edit other pages. In the SemanticBundleSettings.php page it is set to allow editing by user admin. That's me. So, what am I doing wrong here? Thanks, Bruce

Newbie questions
by Ingrid Schneider 24 Oct '10

24 Oct '10

Hello all! I've just started fiddling with MediaWiki this week. I'm completely new to building a wiki, and approaching it by just jumping right in. I have a little bit of coding experience and I'm learning about PHP as I go. I would like to know if there's anyone willing to help me with some of my newbie problems. I don't want to bombard the list with really simple problems if I don't have to. I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks! Ingrid

index.php little problem
by Carlos Buj 24 Oct '10

24 Oct '10

I tried to insert a little code to follow the stats in google analytics into my wiki at http://wiki.turismo-sostenible.net/ so i insert it into the index.php and not only the stats didn't work out but the site doesn't load (it's a blank page). Later I removed the code hoping everything would go back to normal but still only a black page loads! My media wikiversion: mediawiki-1.15 update: i cant access http://wiki.turismo-sostenible.net/ but i can access http://wiki.turismo-sostenible.net/index.php?title=P%C3%A1gina_Principal This seems a very easy bug to fix! (but i cant!) Please help! Thanks!!

No special features had to be enabled, and no special extensions installed. The gifs worked on our old 1.14 setup, and work on our current 1.16 site.

FCKeditor (Blank page)
by Graham 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Hello, I was successful with upgrading to Mediawiki ver. 16.0. However, I am having an issue with FCKeditor producing a blank page. Current Setup: MediaWiki 1.16.0 PHP 5.1.16 MySQL 5.0.77 I include $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; to the LocalSetting.php file. I upgraded the FCKeditorParser.body.php file, and now I get the following error message when trying to access the wiki: *Fatal error*: Class 'FCKeditorParserWrapper' not found in */appl/web/devwiki/public_www/mediawiki-1.16.0/extensions/FCKeditor/FCKeditorParser.body.php* on line *3 * Here is line 3 of FCKeditorParser.body.php: class FCKeditorParser extends FCKeditorParserWrapper { I have been looking for "FCKeditorParserWrapper.php". Do you know where I can obtain this file, because I haven't had any success. Thank you!

SMW and genealogy
by Bruce Whealton 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Hello all, I was inspired by the happenings on the wikia.com site, http://familypedia.wiki.com I had written a while back about being able to pull in external content into a mediawiki site. I was going to respond to that but could not find that email. Anyway, I had thought early on with regard to mediawiki and the semantic web that this was a very appropriate use for such technology. There are so many resources out there for genealogy research... it would help to integrate the information in some way. I don't know how much of it is open source or open content. The big name that comes to mind is Ancestry.com... of course they make money by selling subscriptions and so they may not want to open up their content but has anyone heard of any resource for information in this field that has made their data/information available for a large global graph that the Semantic Web is? I'm somewhat new to MW and SMW, so I hope my questions don't sound too ignorant. 1) Is it difficult to copy some of the content from one wiki into a new wiki that - that is to say copy some of the articles... an export of articles and then an import elsewhere. I know MW lets one export and then import, so could one export a whole collection of articles or category of articles and then bring them into a new wiki? 2) Would there be a way to export the Semantic data as well? Forms, annotations, etc? 3) Maybe some folks know more than I do about these things, such as the reasons one might want to self-host their wiki, in addition to using wikia.com 4) Similarly, would this create redundant or conflicting data or is there a way around that? I guess one issue is about how open the data on wikia.com is. Thanks, Bruce

The imageinfo query module can give you a thumbnail; pop up http ://en.wikipedia/w/api.php and pull up the online help entry for the parameters. -- brion On Oct 18, 2010 7:06 AM, "Gabriel Sandor" <gabi.t.sandor(a)gmail.com> wrote:
