MW1.16.0 usability extension default skin not working
by Dr Bob JAnsen 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

The local settings file only defines the default skin variable once and it is set to cancervoicesnew. Also, after I log in my preferences shows the skin to be cancervoicesnew. Still doesn't answer the question of when I initially connect, the skin displayed is Vector and not that defined in the local settings file. Sounds as if I am the only one having this issue.

PHP 5.2.x and ini_set( 'pcre.backtrack_limit', '2M' ); in LocalSettings.php
by roger＠rogerchrisman.com 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

I added the following regarding 'pcre.backtrack_limit' and PHP 5.2.x to the MediaWiki.org wiki at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSpamRegex : ===pcre.backtrack_limit=== PHP 5.2.x introduced pcre.backtrack_limit with default 100000 (less than 100K). I think that is too low and trips up the regex. See stronk7 at moodle dot org's 13-Sep-2007 comment (Find '13-Sep-2007') at http://us.php.net/manual/en/ref.pcre.php. Try adding the following line to LocalSettings.php: ini_set( 'pcre.backtrack_limit', '2M' ); I don't know what value is appropriate. 2M works for me. Someone who knows more please adjust that. Is 2M reasonable there? What about 8M? What would be a safe setting? What other server configs dictate what is appropriate there? And I set 'memory_limit' to 20M in my LocalSettings.php. Is that necessary? Is this appropriate, too? ini_set( 'memory_limit', '20M' ); What sort of trouble am I getting into? Thanks, Roger --Wikigogy.org MediaWiki 1.16.0 PHP 5.2.14 (litespeed) MySQL 5.0.91-community-log

Wikipedia mobile skin
by Pascal Grün 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

Hi everyone, I could not find the skin that is being used for the mobile Wikipedia version, i.e. http://de.m.wikipedia.org/ There is http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileSkin but there is no mention that this is the actual skin Wikipedia uses and I could not find any examples how that skin looks. Would anyone care to point me to the right place? Thanks! Pascal

MW 1.16.0 Usability Extension - Default Skin not working.
by Dr Bob Jansen 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

I have a wiki that uses a default skin (a copy of the Monobook skin but with a background image defined in headbg.jpg file in that skin's directory). After installing the Usability Initiative extension, when I connect to the wiki as an anonymous user, I get the blank (Vector?) skin without my background image. After I log in, I get my default skin, as I should. Logging out gives me the blank (Vector?) skin again without my background image. Anybody got any clues? The local settings has defined $wgDefaultSkin = 'cancervoicesnsw'; bobj -- -------------------------------- Dr Bob Jansen Turtle Lane Studios Pty Ltd PO Box 26, Erskineville NSW 2043, Australia Ph: +61-414 297 448 Resume: http://au.linkedin.com/in/bobjan Skype: bobjtls http://www.turtlelane.com.au In line with the Australian anti-spam legislation, if you wish to receive no further email from me, please send me an email with the subject "No Spam"

MW 1.16.0 usability extension default skin not working

Trevor writes Vector does away with the book background image in favor of a gradient. But the question is, why is the Vector skin being display at all when the local settings file is configured to use my skin and why does logging in then correctly show my skin and then logging out revert back to Vector?

Hi- I'm running Mediawiki Version 1.16 using PHP 5.1.6 on Red Hat Enterprise 5.5 We use a skin 'rilpoint' on our wiki. I just changed our logo, and have some background & header color changes I would like to make to match. $wgStylePath is not explicitly set in our LocalSettings.php, but the skin is, so I assumed that one of the stylesheets under "wiki/skins/rilpoint/" is where I would make that change. I've tried this, but do not see any results. Am I looking in the right place? Is there an easy way to figure out what style sheets I'm picking up? I apologize if this seems a little basic. Apache & Mysql I can do. Pretty web pages throw me for a loop :) Thanks, Mark Mark Suhovecky suhovecky(a)nd.edu

Searching a page
by David Doria 06 Nov '10

If I use the search box on the left of the wiki, it seems to search the entire wiki. For example, from here: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx If I search "xml", it will find things above the page in the directory hierarchy. Is there a way to search "only this page and below", or even something like search only on this page? Our instructions currently read "Use ctrl+f to search for something on this page", but that seems a bit hacky. Or is there another way to add a separate text box at the top of the page that will perform this ctrl+f style search? <http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx> Thanks, David
