Coloring Cells in Tables
by Tech Geek 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

So I am trying to achieve the same thing as the OP of this thread wanted [1]. Basically, to get "green" color for "yes" and "red" color for "no" in the cells just like a standard comparison table on the Internet Wikipedia [2]. So I defined my table (simpliefied example) in the wiki page as follow: {| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="1" class="wikitable sortable" |- ! A ! B |- | {{Yes}} | {{No}} |} Obviously nothing happened with the above code i.e. I did not get any green or red background color in the cell. In an expected manner wiki engine displayed "Yes" and "No" with a "wanted link". Now I am not sure if I have to create Templates called Template:Yes and Template:No? And if I do have to create these templates, what should be the content of those templates? I am using MediaWiki 1.12 version.

MediaWiki security update: 1.15.2
by Tim Starling 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is a security and bugfix release of MediaWiki 1.15.2. Two security issues were discovered: A CSS validation issue was discovered which allows editors to display external images in wiki pages. This is a privacy concern on public wikis, since a malicious user may link to an image on a server they control, which would allow that attacker to gather IP addresses and other information from users of the public wiki. All sites running publicly-editable MediaWiki installations are advised to upgrade. All versions of MediaWiki (prior to this one) are affected. A data leakage vulnerability was discovered in thumb.php which affects wikis which restrict access to private files using img_auth.php, or some similar scheme. All versions of MediaWiki since 1.5 are affected. Deleting thumb.php is a suitable workaround for private wikis which do not use $wgThumbnailScriptPath or $wgLocalRepo['thumbScriptUrl']. Alternatively, you can upgrade to MediaWiki 1.15.2 or backport the patch below to whatever version of MediaWiki you are using. MediaWiki is not compatible with PHP 5.3.1 due to a bug in that release, which is fixed in PHP 5.3.2. This release of MediaWiki will refuse to upgrade if an affected version of PHP is present. Note that local or distribution-specific backports of the PHP bug fix are supported. See http://bugs.php.net/50394 for details.

different styling for different namespaces
by Irene Eglin 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hi My wiki has two different parts on the same subject. I'd like to change the styling (i.e. colors) a bit for one part. Is it possible, to have different css-stylesheets in one skin, and use them each for its namespace? Has anyone done this before? Thanks for your help! Irene

RSS feeds problem
by Anne Wilson 07 Mar '10

07 Mar '10

Our wiki uses Mediawiki 1.14, soon to be updated to 1.16. From the day we updated to 1.14 the RSS feed has been problematic, often sending as many as 30 entries for one new one, resulting in each entry being repeated many times. The number of false entries appears to be related to the number of changes that have been made in a period of time, probably 24 hours, which suggests to me that it's sending a cache or a queue that doesn't get cleared. I tried the Atom feed, and have had no problems with it whatsoever. However, Atom feeds are not as well known as RSS ones, and that leaves us with a quandary. Do we continue to offer a broken feed? Sooner or later someone is going to ask us why it's not fixed, since we know it to be broken. If we don't, users will ask us why we don't offer the best-known feed. How have others resolved the issue? Anne -- KDE Community Working Group New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
