Trying to protect/unprotect pages with custom group
by Rowe, Dolores A 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Teammates, In a version 1.15.3 wiki, I am trying to set up a custom group that can protect/unprotect pages. I use the following statements in the LocalSettings.php file. $wgGroupPermissions['Build_group']['edit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Build_group']['editprotected'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['Build_group']['protect'] = true; However, when I go to an unprotected page, and select the protect tab at the top of the page, I do not have the option to allow only the Build_group to edit or move the page. I only have 3 options: "Allow all users" "Block new and unregistered users" "Administrators only" Is there another setting that I need to add to my permissions ? thanks, Lori

DPL and DEFAULTSORT
by David Gerard 19 Aug '10

Does DynamicPageList obey {{DEFAULTSORT:}}? Should it? It doesn't appear to be for me, e.g. on http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Template:Altmed - that's twelve random articles from a category, and all the articles about people have DEFAULTSORT for their surnames. - d.

Seeking Assistance
by Christopher Eicher 18 Aug '10

I am currently setting up a free gaming access wiki area of my website and i'm having a bit of trouble with the wiki setup. Where do I download the infobox extension file so that I can use this in my wiki pages for the site? Tried to use the template coding, but it didn't seem to work and as a result I found that I needed a .php file in the extensions folder to make it work. Is this extension file free use for any wiki site or is the one on wikipedia specially tailored? Any help would be appreciated in fixing my problem. The current setup for the wiki area of my site is at http://wiki.mmodomination.com/ if you need some information.

Restricted Area(s)
by Graham 18 Aug '10

Hello, I have been requested to grant a specific group of users, access to one Namespace on an existing wiki (not currently using Namespace). The complete request is: - setup a group of user so that they can only access one Namespace/Group on wiki - Add other Namespaces and assign the existing users accordingly I am aware that all users can view the main Namespace; is there a way to prevent the group setup to view only one Namespace, from accessing the main Namespace? Is there a method of preventing user from even seeing menu selections? Is it a big chore, or even advisable to move main pages to different Namespaces? I have Namespaces & Group permissions setup on my test wiki, and it works fine. One last question: Is there a way of moving multiple pages to a Namespace? Thanks.

Which they weren't, not really surprisingly. So I had high hopes after doing a new complete upload and running the update script with no errors. However, I still get the database query error from LogPage::saveContent, described above, when saving edits. How do I proceed from here? I guess it is possible to turn on display of the "offending" SQL query?

1.15.1 -> 1.16 update problems
by Even Thorbergsen 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

I have just updated my wiki from 1.15.1 to 1.16. After uploading all files (except extension and images directories), I run "maintenance/update.php" getting as follows: Fatal error: Class 'DeleteDefaultMessages' not found in /data/www/bmk.no/www/wiki/maintenance/updaters.inc on line 1161 Now I cannot update pages. When saving I get the following (based on my translation): Syntax error in a database query indicating a software error. Most recent database query was: (SQL-query hidden) from the function <LogPage::saveContent>. The database returned the error <1054: Unknown column 'log_page' in 'field list' (localhost)>.

Quoting code with line numbers
by Anne Wilson 14 Aug '10

14 Aug '10

It's easiest if I just quote my contributor: <quote> I'm translating some pages from techbase and need to use lot of the <code> - tag. As described I write <code cppqt n> .... </code> and get a result with the following line: Invalid language argument, "cppqt", select one from the list: I've tried cpp, cpp-qt, c, qt , etc, but all results in the same error. So a correct tagged code sequence isn't displayed at least and important parts of information are missing by the end user. I noticed the possibility to substitute the <code> tag with the <pre>. But this gives no line numbering </quote> Can anyone suggest a solution please? Anne -- KDE Community Working Group New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

Including "What links here" but only if in a category
by Adam Meyer 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

Im looking for a way to include a list of pages that link to the current page in the article. Even better would to be able to do this with the condition that the pages listed are in a specific category. So if I have a "Part" article, and id like a list of "project" articles that link to that part. So in the "Part" article I can have a section: "Projects that use this part" (all "project" articles are in the category:project) Does that make sense? Is this possible? As always... Thank you, -Adam

Re: [Mediawiki-l] CategoryTree extension
by Jim Sutton 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

Hi. I sent the below a while ago but didn't get a response from anyone. Does anyone use the CategoryTree extension? To recap. This is the problem I'm having with it: Apologies if this has already been asked. I've checked the discussion page for the CategoryTree extension and it looks like the problem I'm having has been reported but I can't see an obvious solution. I'm running MediaWiki 1.16.0 . I've installed the CategoryTree extension and it does seem to be working. The problem I have is that when there are no subcategories under a category I still get an + symbol next to the category when I think it should display an x symbol. When I click on the + symbol I get the message 'no subcategories'. Also, when there are no subcategories and no pages under the category I do get the x symbol but it's still clickable and after clicking on it it turns into an + symbol. Only after refreshing the page does it return back to a x. Basically I want my categories to expand in the same way as the categories in MediaWiki.org at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Top_level . Has anyone had the same problem as me? Thanks for your help. Jim
