Hi, I have found that assigning groups with APCOND_EMAILCONFIRMED using $wgAutopromote gives the rights of the group named within $wgAutopromote, but the users are not actually recorded as being members of the group. Let me explain, it looks like the promotion works, but the user IS NOT really belonging to that group, so the rights i've set don't work, because MediaWiki doesn't recognize that the user belongs to the promoting group. I mean that the user can see himself belonging to the promoting group in his/her user preferences, but in the Special:UserRights page (logged in as WikiSysop) the promoting Group is not checked for him/her in parenthesis and actually the user doesn't inerhit the rights of that group. Am I miss something in configuring Mediawiki? How can I make MediaWiki recognizes that the user belongs to a promoting group after he/she is autopromoted? Kind regards, Valerio Pelliccioni

Thumbnailer error on large file

by Dan Nessett

We are getting a thumbnailer error on a png file of 16 Mpx. This error is: "Error creating thumbnail: Invalid thumbnail parameters". It appears there is an upper bound limitation somewhere, since Wikipedia has a similar problem (e.g., see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Category:Old_Ordnance_Survey_map_images). Is this a hard limit due to limitations of Imagemagick or is there a global that controls the upper bound on image size that the thumbnailer can handle? -- -- Dan Nessett

Article count in dynamic

by Сергей Безуглов

Hi, everyone! Is there any extension (which I obviously missed on mediawiki.org) or any other way to create a list of article count in dynamic on our small wiki (e.g. 01/01/2010 - 10; 02/01/2010 - 50; 03/01/2010 - 100; 04/01/2010 - 200). We have about 1100 articles at this time and have potential growth in about 15-20 times. If it makes any sense we use: MediaWiki - 1.15.0 PHP - 5.2.10 (apache2handler) MySQL - 5.0.45-log Thanks for any help.

changing section numbering starting digit

by James W. Fishwick

I'm using Mediawiki for a online textbook of sorts, with a page representing a chapter. I have returned on section numbering for all users to mimic the way the chapters are numbered in the book; works great. However, it doesn't make sense in my context to have the numbering start with "1" for each chapter. Ideally there would be a way to start the numbering at any number. Or at least be able to change the leading "1" - no chapter is structured with multiple h2s. I've kludged a fix with javascript, but it is too slow for my liking. Are there plug-ins available with this functionality? How hard would it to be to add a magic word that performs this functionality? Where in the php should I start messing around? -- James Fishwick fishwick(a)gmail.com 434.284.3727 http://jamesfishwick.com http://www.aratherlovelything.com
