How to include MediaWiki login form on another page
by Sebek Nowaczynski 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

I have: example.com and example.com/w/ in which it is MediaWiki. I want to have login form (with a different look than the standard) in example.com/index.php I copied the source code of login form, and in this I have there: <input type="hidden" name="wpLoginToken" value="f695ba23114fe495f3f03f2ab23d0294" /> Where/How to retrieve this value(wpLoginToken)? I can login once to my page, but, in the twice I see: "Login error There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again. " I think this is problem with wpLoginToken. If I delete this hidden walue, there is communicate like "Login error There seens to be...". I have MediaWiki 1.17alpha (r69213), directly from SVN (clean installation), PHP 5.2.13 (cgi-fcgi), MySql 5.1.47. Thank you for your reply and sorry for my weak English. S. Nowaczynski

Changing the server IP in Wiki pages
by Varnit Suri 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Happy Tuesday everyone, This is really the first time I 'm posting to this list since I figured this to be the best forum after reading http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mailing_lists. So I 've been using MediaWiki for a while now, and all the links in the Wiki contain the IP address of the Wiki server (in red below). For instance: Quick start document for adding/deleting circuits [[http://10.32.6.11/wiki/images/9/96/MegaVision-QuickStart.doc QuickStart]] Now the server IP address 10.32.6.11 will no longer be available for use, and needs to be changed. The Wiki is full of such links, and I think all these links will become inaccessible after the Wiki Server IP is changed. I am trying to find a way to change all these links to use the new server IP (something similar to a grand global find-and-replace). I read the instructions on "Moving a Wiki" at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Moving_a_wiki, but it really does not talk about this problem. I have 3 questions: 1. How do I do this? Where is all this text stored? 2. Is a global find-and-replace the best solution, or is there an alternative? 3. Was there a way I could 've avoided using the server IP in these links? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks Suri

url(Cursor) control problem
by Frederick Grose 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

I'm able to use CSS to control wiki page cursors with this syntax, <span style="cursor:crosshair;">wiki text</span> but not this, <span style="cursor:url(http://domain/images/cursorfile.png), crosshair;">wiki text</span> which works in the same browser at this page, http://www.w3schools.com/CSS/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_cursor Suggestions? Thanks in advance, --Fred

Re: [Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki-l Digest, Vol 82, Issue 14
by Varnit Suri 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

Q - thanks for replying. Yes, I meant wikilinks. All the wikilinks in my Wiki have references to the Wiki server IP address (see example below), which now needs to be changed. So I 'm still trying to figure out: 1. How do I do this? Where is all this text stored? 2. Is a global find-and-replace the best solution, or is there an alternative? Many thanks!

Inclusion of {{Special:Index/...}} limitation
by Wikimini 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hi, On my wiki I need to create a page listing all articles beginning with "A", another one with all articles beginning with "B", etc. To achieve that, I've created a page with {{Special:Index/A}}, another one with {{Special:Index/B}}, another one with {{Special:Index/C}}, etc. The problem is that this inclusion only shows the first 346 pages (*i.e.*the first 346 articles beginning with A, but not the following ones). Is there a way to overcome this limit? Or maybe is there a better solution to get this working? Thank you for any advice! Laurent

tables
by Philippe Dhont 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Hi, I want to use tables in mediawiki and the code that i use works but there is no layout. As a test, this should make a nice viewing table (example from a learning site): {| class="prettytable" width="40%" ! Planten || Dieren |- | Gras || Koe |- | Eucalyptus || Koala |} But I get just the text and no graphical table and looks in my wiki just like this: Planten Dieren Gras Koe Eucalyptus Koala Is there something i forgot ? Thnx, Ph.

Google Summer of Code 2010/Wikimedia update
by Rob Lanphier 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Hi everyone, I wanted to give everyone an update on Google Summer of Code. This officially started back toward the end of May, and the students have been working away at their respective projects: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2010 I've asked all of the students and mentors to help fill out "status" sections to all of the projects as of this week, since we're at the point where everyone is starting to ask "hey, what's up with this?". More importantly, the mid-term evaluations are due at the end of next week. I've gotten a pretty good response to that request, and I imagine that we'll see a lot more updates over the coming week. There has been a little chatter on IRC about the lack of communication, and I'll accept some of the blame for letting things go on autopilot for a little while. The good news is that there is status information if you know where to look, but much of the communication is not in the form that longstanding community members are used to. So, students and mentors, please by all means pester us here on this mailing list and jump onto #mediawiki on IRC when you can, and link your status pages on mediawiki.orgto your preferred means of providing mass updates. Thanks! Rob
