Can anyone recommend some good tutorials and training material for getting
up to speed with the semantic media wiki features of mediawiki?
I have it installed and saw a few videos and went to the wiki but I want to
learn more and get better at this.
Thanks in advance,
Bruce
I've installed mowes. I know this isn't a PHP list but there's lots of
smart PHP peeples here. PHPMyAdmin announces the following on its home
page. Can someone sort me out on this?
"Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.67 differs from your MySQL server
version 5.1.35. This may cause unpredictable behavior."
Which files are they talking about, that I need to remove? (I used to know
the answer but it's been over a year and I didn't have much of a
grounding even then.)
hello everybody,
as this is the first time I am posting in this list, I would to thank you
all for the great work you're doing.
I think it is a great help for all MediaWiki user.
My problem is with the collapsible tables.
Every time I am clicking on the show hie button, the page jump to the top.
I copied the two scripts to the common.js and common.css and saved it. (I
didn't do it myself as I don't have the admin rights, but I've checked them
and they are there.)
I copied the example file from the mediawiki page
{| class="collapsible collapsed wikitable"
|-
! This is the header cell, which is always shown
|-
| This cell is not shown by default.
|}
But each time I click on the show-hide buttons, the page jump to the top. It
does open/close the table, but still it jump up.
Do I need to change something? Does it has anything to do with the
LocalSetting.php settings?
my MediaWiki version is:
Mediawiki 1.15.4
PHP 5.3.2 (apache2handler)
MySQL 5.1.48
I would appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks
Assa
hello.
is it possible to link different words automatically within one mediawiki
installation? It is important to link a before defined list because i dont
want to link unimportant words like "and, the, one, sentence, name etc."
:o)

It appears that the "Download" button of the Manage Books page does
not go out and fetch the latest versions of the book's selected pages.
I see no indication that a re-rendering occurs and I am getting the
same .pdf returned.
It seems that the entire book saving mechanism is mis-implemented;
even when it lets me save a book, it's weird trying to get back to a
saved book; trying to modify a previously saved book seems impossible.
I have added these to my LocalSettings.php
$wgAutoConfirmAge = 1;
$wgAutoConfirmCount = 1;
Hi all
First of all, I want to say sorry about my English, is not very good. So
I'm going to try to explain my problem by the best possible way.
I have installed a mediawiki for internal use, we have four different
departments than have access to the mediawiki. But the problem I have is
the department A can't see the documents of the other departments, only
can see the documents create by department A. And the same with the
other departments.
I use Category for the documents, I have for categories called
Department A, Department B, Department C and Department D. And below
each category they have their documents.
So I need to restricted by user or by category or by user group. I was
looking the extension and I saw a extension called CategoryPermisions
but this extension doesn't work.
Please, could somebody tell me how to do it or where I can fine some
information about it?
Regards
Juan Manzanares Ros

I am searching for an extension that shows the developments of hits on my wiki comparable to, for instance, [statcounter.com]. User came from, search queries, etc, would also be good to know. So far, I only found Extension:Usage Statistics, which produces strange output on my Wiki and is moreover unpleasant to handle. Any suggestions?
Thx
Bernhard
PS: For the moment I have installed statcounter.com, which requires some loading time, however, since it is loading an external JS file. There should be a more elegant solution since the data are there, aren't they?
Hi,
I have mediawiki-1.15.4 in the main directory on my webserver.
When upgrading, I liked to move it to a subdirectory.
So, I extracted mediawiki-1.16.0 in the subdirectory "mediawiki", copied
LocalSettings.php, /images/ and /extensions/ to the new directory and
ran update.php.
Now, when I type /wiki/index.php in the browser, it jumps automatically
back to the main directory.
Do I have to change a path variable anywhere?
Thanks
Daniel
I had great help yesterday, so here goes today's question.
My mediawiki installation allows me to assign article pages to a Book,
save the Book, but not to download a .pdf or .odt
== MediaWiki 1.16.0 ==
2010-07-28
I have in my LocalSettings.php (yes, some commented out lines)
...
require_once("$IP/extensions/Collection/Collection.php");
$wgCollectionFormats = array( 'rl' => 'PDF', 'odf' => 'ODT',);
#$wgUseAjax = true;
#require_once("{$IP}/extensions/CategoryTree/CategoryTree.php");
#require_once("{$IP}/extensions/Book/Book.php");
require_once("{$IP}/extensions/PdfBook/PdfBook.php");
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['collectionsaveasuserpage'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['collectionsaveascommunitypage'] = true;
When I am in the Manage Book I can add pages, see them listed as part
of the book, but when I click the download (either .pdf or .odt) the
browser screen goes blank. I have made no attempt to move the
mw-render to the local machine, at least not so far. My firewall and
port settings are just those per the Ubuntu 10.10 installation.
root@ubuntu1010servervm:/home/raymond# ping www.pediapress.com

Perhaps there is a standalone .php script I can attempt to debug the
problem. Or can someone point me to better instructions on the
mw-render installation.
