wiki family and shared resources
by Mij 07 Feb '10

07 Feb '10

Hello everyone, We want to implement a MW-based WikiFamily with a reserved "pool" instance, very similarly to Wikipedia, but we're encountering some problems with the media sharing. We followed this process: 1) we started from - three language instances - containing about 1000 images altogether - configured with Wikipedia-style URL scheme: http://<lang>.domain.com/wiki/<Node> 2) we installed and set up one "pool" wiki instance, according to "Scenario 5" of http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family 3) we modified maintenance/importImages.php to import automatically from any language instance to the "pool" all images along with metadata (description, author etc) The pool contains all medias of all language instances, and the "Upload file" link in the toolbox of each wiki points to the pool's Special:Upload correctly. The relevant configuration for the language wikis is as follows: === $wgUploadNavigationUrl = "http://pool.domain.com/wiki/Special:Upload"; $wgUseSharedUploads = true; $wgSharedUploadPath = 'http://pool.domain.com/wiki/File:'; $wgSharedUploadDirectory = '/var/www/wikis/wiki-pool/images/'; $wgHashedSharedUploadDirectory = true; $wgEnableUploads = false; === However, trying to enforce the "pool fallback lookup" documented http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUseSharedUploads we tried moving away the instance's own images/ directory. Doing this, all images result into a broken link. We suspect the problem is in a misconfiguration of $wgSharedUploadPath , which isn't quite clear from the WikiFamily example or its own documentation, but cannot track down the problem more specifically. Notably, we observed that none of the includes/filerepo/* files is loaded. Can anyone help out with nailing down this problem? Thanks!

Developer needed to adapt Nimbus extension
by Wikimini 06 Feb '10

06 Feb '10

Hi! Hi! I'm looking for someone who could adapt the Nimbus extension ( http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Nimbus) to the following need : the tag cloud should be based on the most wanted articles and not on categories. Of course this could be a paid job. This would be for Wikimini, a french encyclopedia written by children. As this is a non profit project, I need a good quote :-) Would someone be interested? Thank you for your kind attention and sorry for my poor english! Laurent http://wikimini.org

Redirect to index.php/Main_Page invalidates url
by Philipp Lies 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Hi, I have a problem with MediaWiki 1.15. Mediawiki is installed on server A which is an apache2 server. Accessing MediaWiki via: http://A/mediawiki works, the url is correctly redirected to http://A/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page Now here is the problem. Server A is externally accessible via http://www.somedomain.com/somefolder/ Now when I try to access the wiki from the outside world via http://www.somedomain.com/somefolder/mediawiki/ I also get redirected to http://internal-ip-of-server-A/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page which will obviously not work. Accessing the page directly via http://www.somedomain.com/somefolder/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page loads the page but without the style, so just vanilla html style. Is there some way to tell MediaWiki to check which url was used and that it should use this as base url? Cheers Philipp

Hello everybody, I want to create, see some advanced statistics like: user (just one user, not all users) page visits, page referals, last visit on that page, what page was visited by this user... It's something like awstats or google analitics, but i don't want general statistics, just user statistics. 1. Is there an already extension? 2. It's posible? 3. If it's possible to do this kind of statistics, can you provide some tips, links, documentations? I already using awstats and google analytics.

what is wrong in "<math>z</math>"?
by Massimo Canonico 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Hi, I'm quite confuse about this error. If you go in this link: http://dcs.di.unipmn.it/wiki/index.php/Param-sim#BoT_Size you can see the error:* "Failed to parse (PNG conversion failed; * *check for correct installation of latex, dvips, gs, and convert): z*" What is surprise me most is that, if I change it to <math>Median</math> at it was before, I do not get any error. Do you have any idea about this? Today, I have just restarted apache since I have changenged the "max upload file size" and I have added "pdf" as one of the possible file extensions. Thanks, Massimo
