multi-client capability?
by moove＠gmx.net 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

Hello everyone I was unable to find the answer to my question in the official documentation, thus I send this mail. It seems that some organizations are able to create multiple wikis with just one mediawiki installation (i.e. a multi-client capability). Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any "official" information about it nor any instructions of how it is realized. Does someone know how to make a mediawiki multi-client capable? I look forward to any hints. Kind regards, Moove -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT! Jetzt freischalten unter http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/maxdome01

New Extension: TODO List Progress Bar
by Vadtec 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

Greetings all, I found my self in need of a TODO list progress tracking extension, so I wrote one. The basic idea is to be able to track items on a TODO list (or any list really) based on their status. Each item is given a "value" that is then used to create a nice visual progress bar that is displayed at the bottom of the list. The full details are at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TODOListProgressBar I welcome any comments or suggestions, especially on how to improve the performance of the extension or the code I have written. If you find a bug, typo, or other annoyance, please, let me know and I'll fix it when I get the chance. - Vadtec

Question about page protection
by Vadtec 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

Greetings all, Is it possible for an extension to set a page as "protected"? I have a tag that displays help info for my extension, I'd like to drop it in a page, and have the tag set the page as protected via a parameter. The idea is to allow the tag to display its output but have the page be protected from editing. Thanks for any advice, much appreciated. - Vadtec

Magic word 'if' not found when updating ParserFunctions
by Lukas Haase 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

Hi, I just upgraded from MediaWiki 1.13 to 1.15. I also upgraded the extension ParserFunctions which I updated directly from SVN to the last version: $ svn info Path: . URL: http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/ParserFunctions Repository Root: http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki Repository UUID: dd0e9695-b195-4be7-bd10-2dea1a65a6b6 Revision: 53274 Node Kind: directory Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: siebrand Last Changed Rev: 52757 Last Changed Date: 2009-07-04 01:41:53 +0200 (Sat, 04 Jul 2009) $ svn update U Expr.php U ParserFunctions.i18n.magic.php U ParserFunctions_body.php U ParserFunctions.i18n.php U ParserFunctions.php U funcsParserTests.txt Updated to revision 67914. Now I get the following error when I go to my Mediawiki: Magic word 'if' not found Backtrace: #0 /usr/local/share/mediawiki/includes/MagicWord.php(244): Language->getMagic(Object(MagicWord)) #1 /usr/local/share/mediawiki/includes/MagicWord.php(197): MagicWord->load('if') #2 /usr/local/share/mediawiki/includes/parser/Parser.php(4034): MagicWord::get('if') #3 /usr/local/share/mediawiki/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php(72): Parser->setFunctionHook('if', Array, 2) #4 [internal function]: ParserFunctions_HookStub->registerParser(Object(Parser)) #5 /usr/local/share/mediawiki/includes/Hooks.php(117): call_user_func_array(Array, Array) #6 /usr/local/share/mediawiki/includes/parser/Parser.php(178): wfRunHooks('ParserFirstCall...', Array) #7 /usr/local/share/mediawiki/includes/parser/Parser.php(190): Parser->firstCallInit() #8 /usr/local/share/mediawiki/includes/parser/Parser.php(312): Parser->clearState() #9 /usr/local/share/mediawiki/includes/Article.php(3557): Parser->parse('{{Box?|Headline...', Object(Title), Object(ParserOptions), true, true, 10103) #10 /usr/local/share/mediawiki/includes/Article.php(979): Article->outputWikiText('{{Box?|Headline...') #11 /usr/local/share/mediawiki/includes/Wiki.php(450): Article->view() #12 /usr/local/share/mediawiki/includes/Wiki.php(63): MediaWiki->performAction(Object(OutputPage), Object(Article), Object(Title), Object(User), Object(WebRequest)) #13 /usr/local/share/mediawiki/index.php(116): MediaWiki->initialize(Object(Title), Object(Article), Object(OutputPage), Object(User), Object(WebRequest)) #14 {main} Does anybody know how I could resolve this?

Question about recursiveTagParse()
by Vadtec 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

Greetings all, I'm not sure if this is the right mailing list to be posting this question to, so if I should be posting to mediawiki-api, please let me know. (I think I'm in the right spot though.) I have a question about recursiveTagParse(). Is it XSS safe? As in, do I need to escape its output with htmlspecialchars() or does it take care of that for me? I am writing a tag extension, and I need it to be able to parse wiki text. I have followed the instructions at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Tag_extensions#Version_1.8_to_version_… (I am running MW 1.15.4), but it doesn't specify if the output is XSS safe or not. Erring on the side of caution, I have pre-escaped all of my user supplied variables with htmlspecialchars(), but if I could avoid this step it would be wonderful, both for the simplicity of coding and performance. Thanks for any advice you can offer, it's much appreciated. - Vadtec
