WP Touch skin for 1.18 ?
by Eric K 26 Dec '11

26 Dec '11

Has anyone managed to fix the WP Touch mobile skin for MW 1.18? If so, I would love if you attached a zip file of that skin to this email list. WP Touch is a great skin that allows a wiki to allow mobile browsers to see the site much more easily: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Gallery_of_user_styles#WPtouch Its based on a Wordpress skin. thanks Eric

Changing password for user with special utf characters in name
by Dan Nessett 26 Dec '11

26 Dec '11

I am trying to use changePassword.php to change the password of a user (who has forgotten his password). The name of the user has the spanish character tilde-n in it (UTF-8 \xF1). However, I can't figure out how to specify this character in the --user= value. When I try to use \xF1, the maintenance script sees it as the literal character string "xF1". If I use \\xF1, the script sees the literal character sring "\xF1". I can't figure out how to get the script to accept the unicode string encoding. Any ideas? -- -- Dan Nessett

by John W. Foster 19 Dec '11

I am getting the errors shown below when this template call is issued: > {{reflist}} It is included in several pages that I have 'borrowed' from wikipedia. I also copied the actual template asked for into my Mediawiki 1.17 site to clear the dependency. > References > 1. ↑ "Error: no |title= specified when using {{Cite web}}". > 2. ↑ "Error: no |title= specified when using {{Cite web}}". > 3. ↑ "Error: no |title= specified when using {{Cite web}}". > 4. ↑ "Error: no |title= specified when using {{Cite web}}".

Recent changes
by Kilian 19 Dec '11

Dear all, on Special:RecentChanges, the number of recent changes to display can be adjusted using the URL parameter 'limit'. However, this parameter does not seem to have any effect on the RSS/Atom feed of recent changes, which is associated with this page. Why is that, and what can I do to get a recent changes feed that displays more items than the default 50? Cheers, Kilian

API upload image error messges
by Adam Meyer 18 Dec '11

18 Dec '11

MW 1.17 Im uploading files/images via the api, and it works perfectly. When everything goes well, I get back an associative-array, with 'result' equaling 'Success' [result] => Success [imageinfo] => Array When there is a warning I get: [result] => Warning [warnings] => warning list array But when there is an error, it just spits out a paragraph tag, with the error in it. like: <p>verification-error: This file did not pass file verification</p> I thought the was strange, shouldn't it come back like so? [result] => Error [errors] => error list array So how do I check for errors without doing is_array() ? Thanks, -Adam

Thanks for the right suggestion! Increasing $wgMaxImageArea to 1.25e8 solved the problem. Thanks a lot!

Thumbnail generating problem with large PNG files
by Юрий Страшнов 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

We have a problem with generating thumbnails for large PNG files (10300 x 6000 and so on) in our intranet installation of MW 1.17.0. I've got a "Error creating thumbnail: Invalid thumbnail parameters" error. Generation of JPG thumbs for big files works fine, generation of medium PNG files (2550 x 3510) works well too. $wgMaxShellMemory and $wgMaxShellFileSize are set to "unlimited". How can we find a bottleneck? -- Best regards, Juriy Strashnov Ryazan State University IT Department Tel. +7 (4912) 460-708 ext. 2188 Fax. +7 (4912) 281-435 Mob. +7 (953) 742-1550 E-mail: j.strashnov(a)rsu.edu.ru
