MediaWiki extension to black out your wiki in protest
by Sumana Harihareswara 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Blackout This is NOT the code that the Wikimedia Foundation is using for the SOPA/PIPA blackout. (We'll be putting up a technical guide sometime in the next 6 hours explaining how we're implementing this, mentioning that you can't edit via the API, etc.) This is an extension developed by Gregory Varnum and John Du Hart to help other MediaWiki sites black out. The code's at: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/Blackout/ That page also links to other resources and methods for anti-SOPA JavaScript and so on. -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation

[DT] - View XLM Page blank
by Yaron Koren 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

Hi Tom, Indeed - it looks like no one, or at least very few people, have used the Special:ViewXML page in a long time. I just fixed the problem, and released a new version of Data Transfer, 0.3.9, that contains that fix. -Yaron -- WikiWorks · MediaWiki Consulting · http://wikiworks.com

Is there a bug in Data Transfer? 2 wikis I have it installed on, View XLM Page after a select is blank. I checked discoursedb.org and it shows a blank page too. $wgShowSQLErrors = true; $wgDebugDumpSql = true; error_reporting( E_ALL ); ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 ); shows nothing. Tom

Übermittlung der Daten aus dem Formular
by Timo Brandt 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Liebe Leute, ich habe eine neue Mediawiki-Installation aufgesetzt, die aktuellste Version. Wenn ich nun Text über das Formular absenden will, kommt folgender Fehler: Der Inhalt des Bearbeitungsformulars hat den Server nicht vollständig erreicht. Bitte prüfe deine Bearbeitungen auf Vollständigkeit und versuche es erneut. Die Größe des Textes beträgt 5,8MB. Habt ihr vielleicht eine Idee, wo man noch stellen könnte, damit auch solche langen texte gespeichert werden? Vielen Dank und viele Grüße, Timo

undefined function wfGetDB
by Vance - 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

I’m working on a PHP class to execute some database queries in support of another class that will be used by an extension. But I’m getting the following error message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function wfGetDB() when I try to call a method in my class from a test script. Any ideas as to how to resolve this?

actuality of every page?
by Michael Renner 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Moin, I use mediawiki for technical documentation. This mean: some pages change often, some are outdated or obsolet. Therefor I am looking for a plugin that show * date of last edit * name of the edrt or even better: the name of a page owner in the page itself. Maybe something like the "Infobox Software". Is there such a plugin? Or, as an alternative: how hard wil it be to write such a Plugin by myself? An 2nd question: is there a list of all pages in my mediawiki installation, maybe orted by the last edit date? Thanks -- |Michael Renner E-mail: michael.renner(a)gmx.de | |81541 Munich skype: michael.renner.gmx.de | |Germany Don't drink as root! ESC:wq
