configuration of thumbnail gallery on image category pages
by Uwe Baumbach 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hi, in media wikis ("commons") there are image galleries on image category pages instead of pure title link lists. How do I configure those galleries: - size of an image - number of images per row Is this in $wgGalleryOptions ? (Introduced in version: 1.17.0 r63707 - this is not released yet) But we carry MW 1.14.1 :-( Other suggestions? -- Uwe (Baumbach) U.Baumbach(a)web.de ___________________________________________________________ WEB.DE DSL ab 19,99 Euro/Monat.

$wgAllowSlowParserFunctions... not very reassuring
by Wikimini 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hi, I've just seen the possibility to display the number of pages in a given namsepace with the magic word {{PAGESINNAMESPACE}}. But this requires $wgAllowSlowParserFunctions to be enabled. This name is not very reassuring (as far as I understand it with my limited english). Is it OK to enable this parameter or would that be a resource heavy bad idea ? Thanks for any advice. Laurent

Problem with apostrophe and Noarticletext system message
by Wikimini 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

Hi ! I have a problem with my "Noarticletext" system message ( http://fr.wikimini.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Noarticletext) When there is an apostrophe in the title of the page that has been deleted, the link that should point to the search page is broken. - Example with apostrophe : http://fr.wikimini.org/wiki/L'islam <http://fr.wikimini.org/wiki/L%27islam>(search link broken) - Example with no apostrophe : http://fr.wikimini.org/wiki/Corbo (search link OK) What's wrong ?!

Re: [Mediawiki-l] TNG integration Solved

>This has probably got to do with the permissions of the user you use >to look at the tables. Try connecting with the same user as given in >the LocalSettings. Then you should be able to see all mediawiki >tables. Actually it was a bit more complicated. The wiki database had all the table files and there were only .frm files. So there was only one file for every table. The TNG installation has three physical files (don't ask me why) they were .frm, .MYD and .MYI I have no idea what the latter two do. I decided to make a dump of the Wiki database and try to import it into the TNG database and even though the dump was 5 Mb (MySQL tells you that a file can't be bigger than 2.4 Mb) the import went fine and suddenly the tables were also visible in MySQL Problem solved and who knows someone might benefit from the solution. _ _ (o) (o) oOOO----(_)----OOOo--- Henny (Lee Hae Kang) ----------------------------- http://www.henny-savenije.pe.kr Portal to all my sites http://www.hendrick-hamel.henny-savenije.pe.kr (in English) Feel free to discover Korea with Hendrick Hamel (1653-1666) http://www.hendrick-hamel.henny-savenije.pe.kr/indexk2.htm In Korean http://www.hendrick-hamel.henny-savenije.pe.kr/Dutch In Dutch http://www.vos.henny-savenije.pe.kr Frits Vos Article about Witsen and Eibokken and his first Korean-Dutch dictionary http://www.cartography.henny-savenije.pe.kr (in English) Korea through Western Cartographic eyes http://www.hwasong.henny-savenije.pe.kr Hwasong the fortress in Suwon http://www.oldKorea.henny-savenije.pe.kr Old Korea in pictures http://www.british.henny-savenije.pe.kr A British encounter in Pusan (1797) http://www.genealogy.henny-savenije.pe.kr/ Genealogy http://www.henny-savenije.pe.kr/phorum Bulletin board for Korean studies

TNG integration
by Henny Savenije 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

I have a working Wiki installation but also a TNG database In order to integrate the two one should have one database for both. Alright, so I copied the physical files of the wiki database to the TNG database, changed the settings in the localsettings.php to point to the TNG database and it seems to work. NOW the problem. In MySQL only two of all the wiki tables show up while all the files are physically there. Changes made to the wiki seem to last so I don't understand why I can't see the tables in the TNG database? Any ideas or anybody ever played with the integration of the two programs? Any ideas and time are appreciated. _ _ (o) (o) oOOO----(_)----OOOo--- Henny (Lee Hae Kang) ----------------------------- http://www.henny-savenije.pe.kr Portal to all my sites http://www.hendrick-hamel.henny-savenije.pe.kr (in English) Feel free to discover Korea with Hendrick Hamel (1653-1666) http://www.hendrick-hamel.henny-savenije.pe.kr/indexk2.htm In Korean http://www.hendrick-hamel.henny-savenije.pe.kr/Dutch In Dutch http://www.vos.henny-savenije.pe.kr Frits Vos Article about Witsen and Eibokken and his first Korean-Dutch dictionary http://www.cartography.henny-savenije.pe.kr (in English) Korea through Western Cartographic eyes http://www.hwasong.henny-savenije.pe.kr Hwasong the fortress in Suwon http://www.oldKorea.henny-savenije.pe.kr Old Korea in pictures http://www.british.henny-savenije.pe.kr A British encounter in Pusan (1797) http://www.genealogy.henny-savenije.pe.kr/ Genealogy http://www.henny-savenije.pe.kr/phorum Bulletin board for Korean studies
