Google Analytics advice
by Bill Traynor 26 Dec '11

26 Dec '11

I've been looking at the various GA extensions and can't find one that meets my specific requirements. I need to be able to track my whole wiki, as well as allow others to track page subsets that they're interested in tracking. These subset users should not see GA data for the entire wiki. Is this a scenario that anyone has encountered or could offer advice on? I'm currently experimenting with http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Google_Analytics_Integration but it only allows for 1 GA account number, and includes all pages in the wiki. Thanks Bill

Mysql ISAM vs InnoDB
by Jim Hu 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

$wgDBtransactions gets set to true if using InnoDB tables. Is there an advantage to using InnoDB tables? The disadvantage is that with MySQL there is a file, ibdata1, that seems to grow endlessly if InnoDB tables are used. See http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=1341 We're wondering if we should just convert everything to MyISAM. Any thoughts? ===================================== Jim Hu Associate Professor Dept. of Biochemistry and Biophysics 2128 TAMU Texas A&M Univ. College Station, TX 77843-2128 979-862-4054

Hello, as I know there are several seo extensions available but which one seems to be the more effective as also the most easy to handle one? I found these: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Add_HTML_Meta_and_Title http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Advanced_Meta http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Add_Metas And I am sure there are some further more. So here is my question: Which one do you use? Take care uv

Any one using Extension:GlobalUsage ?
by Gregor Hagedorn 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

Trying to intitialize http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GlobalUsage on a wikifarm with multiple wikis on a single database server. Bryan Tong Minh clarified that $wgLBFactoryConf = with 'class' => 'LBFactory_Multi must be used, as the extension is primarily for WMF and Wikia use. We tried to set this structure, but still cannot get the extension to function (under 1.18 alpha). See also https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30571 Anyone who succeeded in using this outside of WMF or Wikia? Gregor -- --------------------------------- Dr. G.

MediaWiki and Office Docs
by McHale, Nina 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

Hi, all, Sorry to spam the list with this problem yet AGAIN, but we're still not having luck getting MediaWiki to upload and download Office documents, specifically Word and PowerPoint documents. We upgraded to 1.16.5 in May as part of an overall web upgrade, and that broke what we'd had in place before. .doc, .docx, .ppt, and .pptx were in the permitted files list, and things worked ok before then. After the upgrade, users got a message that files were corrupt. So, we implemented a solution that zipped files—specifically .docx and .pptx files—prior to uploading. The problem now is that when users download those two types of files, they are unzipped into all of their component pieces. Less than helpful, obviously. :) I know that information wasn't overly specific, and I can provide more if anyone has any leads. We tried this solution—and this post describes what's been happening in better detail than I just did—to no avail: http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=162526 We also added the Office mime file information to mime.info and mime.types. I know that MediaWiki isn't really meant to go hand-in-hand with Office Documents, but if I can't figure this out, I might be forced to migrate our intranet to ::shudder:: SharePoint. :D Please help an open-source-lovin' girl out!

Case Study: KDE Userbase wiki
by Ingo Malchow 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Hello all, as it was requested i will write about userbase.kde.org and how we did and do things there. First of all, it is part of a wiki farm, we have more than one wiki, the 3 most important ones being userbase/techbase/community.kde.org . The intention is to use as much in common as possible, the source is shared and we use a config switch. Some global config files provide the parts in common, only things like db credentials, wiki title etc are done in the specific configs. We have a svn checkout from the recent branch of MW running, same counts for the extensions, to make sure we can react quick on wishes for new enabled extensions. Of course it is always our wish to provide a custom look to our KDE sites, hence we developed the theme called chihuahua for our wikis on our own. Which was probably the hardest part. MW's default theme vector was long analyzed to see what needs to be done, our designer did the mockups. Originally we only wanted a left side sidebar, but after some tests we noticed that can't be it, so we implemented a sidebar switch, with which you can choose the position of the sidebar (but only as an easter egg ;) ) As anyone knows, the toughest part was to make the design look good in any case, when someone adds styles to a page. We wanted a multilingual wiki. The way wikipedia does it was not good enough for us. We wanted pages the same in every language, content-wise. So our most important extension is the translate extension (translatewiki.net). We work together with their team, especially Niklas Laxström. It provides us with anything we need from a translation, even offline editing, which is very important for our core KDE translators, as they are used to their po-file tools. Other important extensions are http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SphinxSearch (we were already used to sphinx due to our forum) , http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi (we have many code snippets on the pages, so to make it look nice) , http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LiquidThreads (many discussions take place in the wiki, so we can handle them better), http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenID (no explanation needed, right? :P). Lately we have now a modified Openid plugin, as KDE provides a single sign up page, which is based on LDAP. Unfortunately merging existing accounts into that was not so easy, so we modified the openid extension. Handling those modifications is not that hard, we recently switched to a git hosted revision control system. Our developers checkout MW locally from svn, git merge does the rest quite fine. The server checks out regularly from KDE's git server. Hope this gives a nice overview. Cheerio, Ingo

AbuseFilter repository?
by Wesley Ellis 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

Hi, I recently installed AbuseFilter on my wiki and I'm wondering if there are any good repositories of filters. I have had a look at wikipedia, but some of the filters are private and many are not named well. Is there a list of useful rules somewhere? Wesley http://tahnok.me/about

New sort in 1.17
by Zach H. 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

Hello all, I have created a internal MediaWiki instances holding Knowledge Base articles, I am using 4 namespaces (HOWTO, INFO, RTS, TSHOOT) for holding the different types of Knowledge Base articles. Previous to 1.17 Categories where sorted alphabetically but did include the namespace in the sort, this was/is fine as it puts all like type articles together. Now post 1.17 the namespace is ignored on the sort and my categories are a mess, is it possible to either A) go back to the old method of sorting, or B) Remove the namespaces from the titles as listed in the category ? (i think this is unlikely but never hurts to ask) TIA Zach H.
