css background-image
by Scheid, Bernhard 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Hi, is there any way to activate css background-image via the wikitext? (I.e. include an html element with "style='background-image: url(...)' ") I use extension.css and have specified $wgAllowExternalImagesFrom, which works for direct links, but CSS is obviously not affected. Any solution? Bernhard

Mediawiki Pdf Export Extension
by Vineeth Venugopal 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Hello, I'm not sure whether *Htmldoc* is installed on the shared server i'm having as i don't have root access. I installed Extension:Pdf Export by using the codes in the link given below http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:Pdf_Export/Source_Code… When I go to Special:Version page in my wiki page it's showing ***PdfExport<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Pdf_Export> * under Installed extensions section. But when I click Make PDF after entering http://www.google.com on Special:PdfPrint page i'm getting file has been damaged error from Adobe Reader. I'm not sure whether i'm doing the right procedures to generate pdf file and what's the problem with the generated pdf file Also i didn't found Print as PDF link under toolbox. Please let me know how to fix these issues. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks ~Vineeth

Wikitext grammar
by lmhelp 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

Hi, Thank you or reading my post. I am wondering if there exists a "grammar" for the "Wikicode"/"Wikitext" language (or an *exhaustive* (and formal) set of rules about how is constructed a "Wikitext"). I've looked for such a grammar/set of rules on the Web but I couldn't find one... I need to extract automatically the first paragraph of a Wiki article... I did it from the HTML version of a Wiki article (because I noticed the first paragraph was the first <p> element child of a <div> element which id is "bodyContent"...) but I need to work with the "Wikitext" itself... - Is a grammar available somewhere? - Do you have any idea how to extract the first paragaph of a Wiki article? - Any advice? - Does a Java "Wikitext" "parser" exists which would do it? Thank you for your help. All the best, -- Lmhelp -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Wikitext-grammar-tp29350471p29350471.html Sent from the WikiMedia General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Suggest a starting point for custom auth token passing?
by Belton, Todd 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

I'm going to be attempting to make MediaWiki read Harvard authentication. The Harvard system handles login and then passes a verified, user-unique token back to the caller. It's the caller's responsibility to look up the token in whatever their own authorization system is, and say, "Oh, yeah, that's this user, he has these rights" and proceed accordingly. The idea here is that a user comes to the MediaWiki top URL, gets passed to Harvard auth, back to the wiki, which does the right thing and logs him in. I realize there's going to need to be some PHP work here, and that's fine - but I'd rather try to hack an existing auth extension that's semi-close to what I'm trying to do than start from scratch. Unfortunately I'm sort of lost in the thick woods of all the auth extensions out there. Would anyone care to make recommendations for what I should use as a starting point?

deploy wiki tree?
by Quiring, Sam 07 Aug '10

07 Aug '10

Greetings, I'm new to this list. We keep the user and internal documentation for our software product in Mediawiki. It works very well, thanks. What we would like to do is take a snapshot of the user doc tree rooted at a specific Mediawiki page. We would like the snapshot to be a complete self-contained set of HTML pages we could ship with the product -- possibly with a Mediawiki reading tool if necessary. The user could point his browser at the snapshot and get the same pages we see. I realize that there could be many difficulties creating such a snapshot, but I'm hoping the tool would have constraining options (e.g., specify a list of URL prefixes - only pages that have one of these prefixes are included in the snapshot, others are listed/noted as warnings by the tool). Is there an existing tool or script that does this? Thanks. -Sam

Wiki family with AWC Forum
by kilucas 07 Aug '10

07 Aug '10

I have a wiki that uses the AWC Forum extension which, in turn, creates new tables in the wiki database. I'd like to create a family of such wikis but the database changes in particular make me assume that family creation might be more complex than the examples at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family. Is anyone else using AWC Forum in a wiki family perhaps? And, if so, which family creation mechanism did you use please? Thanks for any clues you might have. Kevin
