Not recognizing Media files
by Tolliver 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Hi, My issue is with the wiki configuration files not recognizing (.doc, .pdf, .ppt, .xls) files as Media, but rather lumping them together with Images (.jpg, .gif, .png). This causes problems in the files not showing up in the link to menu... but rather showing up in the “insert image” button/menu. Is there a way to correct this issue? MediaWiki <http://www.mediawiki.org/>: 1.11.0 PHP <http://www.php.net/>: 5.1.6 (apache2handler) MySQL <http://www.mysql.com/>: 5.0.77 Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Unable to start using JWBF to update my MediaWiki
by Alex Shapovalov 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Hello, I am attempting to start a new project using the JWBF framework. Looking at this site: http://jwbf.sourceforge.net/pw/index.php?n=Site.GettingStarted I am unable to follow the Getting Started documentation. Right from the get go, I see that it references the class net.sourceforge.jwbf.bots.MediaWikiBot However, I am using the latest SNAPSHOT build (1.3.2-SNAPSHOT) and don’t even see that class in there. Furthermore, I brought the project trunk down from subversion and don’t see it there either. I don’t even see the net.sourceforge.jwbf.bots package. I DO see the net.sourceforge.jwbf.mediawiki.bots.MediaWikiBot class, however when I try to instantiate that class with a the Wikipedia site I get a NullPointerException. Stacktrace for the exception is as follows: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at net.sourceforge.jwbf.core.actions.HttpActionClient.<init>(HttpActionClient.java:97) at net.sourceforge.jwbf.core.actions.HttpActionClient.<init>(HttpActionClient.java:76) at net.sourceforge.jwbf.core.bots.HttpBot.setConnection(HttpBot.java:196) at net.sourceforge.jwbf.core.bots.HttpBot.setConnection(HttpBot.java:124) at net.sourceforge.jwbf.core.bots.HttpBot.<init>(HttpBot.java:49) at net.sourceforge.jwbf.mediawiki.bots.MediaWikiBot.<init>(MediaWikiBot.java:98) at my.project.package.wiki.WikiManager.main(WikiManager.java:11) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at net.sourceforge.jwbf.JWBF.<clinit>(JWBF.java:49) ... 7 more I looked in the latest production build and DID see the net.sf.jwbf.bots.MWB class in there, however we would obviously like to use the latest version of the code, especially since it is created using Maven. Could you please direct me on any differences between the getting started documentation on the site and usage of the most recent versions of jwbf? Any help on the subject is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Image descriptions
by Scheid, Bernhard 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Hi, I would like to use the default description of images at their "home page" also in other instances of the image, ie. with thumbs. Is there a way to do this or else to transclude the original image page? Thx Bernhard

Web page source - "strange" characters
by lmhelp 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Hi, Thank you for reading my post. It is a very "general" question I have to ask here... I hope it is not such a bad place where to post it... In Wikipedia's "http://en.wikipedia.org/robots.txt" file, one can read: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # zh: # https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5104 Disallow: /wiki/Wikipedia:åˆ é™¤æŠ•ç¥¨/ä¾µæƒ Disallow: /wiki/Wikipedia:%E5%88%A0%E9%99%A4%E6%8A%95%E7%A5%A8/%E4%BE%B5%E6%9D%83 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Can you explain me why one can find: - strange characters like å or - and codes like: %E5 at the same time...? Question 1: is it due to a kind of "negligence"? Question 2: what are these codes %E5, %99, %A4...? Could you tell me where to find a good table which would tell me for a given code what is the corresponding character...? Thanks in advance for your precious help! :-) (And sorry for being so ignorant about that stuff).

Sidebar protection..
by Mike Hutchinson 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Hello All, I am running MediaWiki 1.15.1 (PHP 5.2.4, MySQL 5.0.51a) on Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS. Our Wiki is running just fine. We are wondering, however, if it is possible to protect the Sidebar from being edited by anyone who is not an Admin or Bureaucrat.. We simply don't want our regular users to be able to change the Sidebar at all - is this possible? Thanks in advance, Yours Sincerely, Michael Hutchinson Systems Consultant Manux Solutions Limited email: mhutchinson(a)manux.co.nz phone: 0800 328 325

Wikia TabView extension
by Daniel Bishop 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Hi, I am very interested in using the TabView extension on my own wiki. In addition to TabView.php are there any other requirements for getting it to work? I've also downloaded the YUI v2.8.0r4 and extracted the contents into my skins/common directory. I ask because I am struggling - I get "500 Internal Server Errors" as soon as I try to use it on a page. MW 1.15.1 (soon to be 1.15.2) Currently on a WAMP setup for testing (will be on LAMP in production) * Windows XP SP3 * Apache 2.2 * MySQL 5.1.30-community * PHP 5.2.8 My server error log shows: [Sat Mar 20 21:43:21 2010] [error] [client 94.195.252.155] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: options in D:\\transition\\extensions\\TabView\\TabView.php on line 109, referer: http://www.wyrmsnest.com/transition/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit [Sat Mar 20 21:43:21 2010] [error] [client 94.195.252.155] PHP Fatal error: Class 'Wikia' not found in D:\\transition\\extensions\\TabView\\TabView.php on line 112, referer: http://www.wyrmsnest.com/transition/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit Which seems to refer to these lines of code in TabView.php: 'options' => $options, $outJS = '<script type="text/javascript">if (typeof window.__FlyTabs == "undefined") window.__FlyTabs = []; window.__FlyTabs.push(' . Wikia::json_encode($tab) . ');</script>'; Can anyone help me figure out why it isn't working? Regards, Daniel Bishop

WikiaMiniUpload extension for Wikia: can it be used on MediaWiki?
by Antonio Orlando 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Can the WikiaMiniUpload extension for Wikia be used on MediaWiki, out of the box or even with some hacks? I have integrated CKeditor and would like to put a button triggering WikiaMiniUpload, which is really cool: can this be done, or could you give me some directions, and could you tell me if you have some reason to think that this is hard to accomplish? If your suggestions have to be towards a give up direction, do you know something like WikiaMiniUpload that I could use as a replacement? -- Antonio
