Hi all-
Is there anyone who knows of an extension or work around for retrieving the REVISIONTIMESTAMP of a template without it picking up the page’s timestamp. I have a page which is a complex table/chart. The columns of the table are constructed from Templates, which all call a standard format template. To update the table, you just edit the column Template’s variables. Probably not the most efficient way, but I put it together a while back. It actually works quite well. The table for the page would have been too complex and confusing for others to update. This way someone just updates one or two of the rows one column at a time.
The way it is now:
Chart (Row Header Temp,Temp1, Temp2, Temp3, Temp4, Temp5)
I find myself wanting to automate the chart modification date. Instead of by hand as it is now, it would be so much easier to use REVISIONTIMESTAMP. The problem of course is the magic word is called on the actual page it is being rendered on. I was trying to use the variable extension, but I guess when a template is called only the information between the <includeonly> tags is even parsed? Is that correct? I though I could set a variable outside of them, but it appears the whole page is not parsed on a template inclusion.
Yes, semantic-mediawiki would make it so much easier, but it isn’t an option at this time.
Thanks
Tom
Happy February 2012!
We are calling for presentation and participation for SMWCon Spring 2012
(April 25-27, San Diego/Carlsbad, CA).
This is a community driven event, so please feel free to put into the wiki
your talk<http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMWCon_Spring_2012#Presentation_proposals>or
your suggestion for talks. It does not have to be formal and/or
complete, however, you're welcome to share more information about your
talk, like an abstract, and even desirable length, whether it has a demo or
not.
We need your help to make a very attractive conference and the earlier we
have a set of topics, the easier for some attendees to make their plans.
So, please act at your early convenience.
For more information, please visit

After upgrading to 1.18 and setting "vector" as skin, some changes in
MediaWiki.css don't have effect in my wiki.
I had changes in #firstHeading that now aren't showed.
I try:
h1#firstHeading {
color: #CCCCCC;
font-size: 0.9em;
}
and
h1.firstHeading {
color: #CCCCCC;
font-size: 0.9em;
}
and
.firstHeading {
color: #CCCCCC;
font-size: 0.9em;
}
and
#firstHeading {
color: #CCCCCC important!;
font-size: 0.9em important!;
}
But doesn't work in any case.
Anybody knows why?

Moin,
für mein Wiki das primär Dokumantationszwecken dient möchte ich auf jeder
Dokuseite eine Infobox mit einigen Angaben einbinden. Beispielsweise dem
Verantwortlichen für diese Seite (nicht zwingend der letzte Bearbeiter) und
dem Datum der letzten Atualisierung (auch nicht zwingend der Zeitpunkt der
letzten Bearbeitung wenn da z.B. nur ein Typo verbessert wurde).
Ausserden wäre es praktisch die ältesten dieser Dokuseiten (oder eines
Autorenkürzels) suchen zu können.
Dokus zur Anwendung von Infoboxen fand ich einige, aber nichts das beschreibt
wie man eigene Boxen entwirft.
Gibt es Möglicheiten eine Suche nach den Angaben in solchen Boxen zu
implementieren? Etwas, das ein Update auf eine neue Version (via rpm)
überlebt?
Dankbar für Hinweise

I recently upgraded from 1.16 to 1.18.1. This resulted in the breakdown
of the custom theme I was using. In efforts to update the theme I am
running into issues where my new CSS does not get used.
I am using /skins/myskin/main.css, and /skins/myskin/myskin.css.
Neither approach seem to take on the changes I have made.
Is there a CSS caching mechanisim in place that can be flushed.
Thanks,
Don
More mediawiki difficulty. Just how do I upload files? Like images and ZIP files, so that I can link to them in my pages?
Yes, there are somethings in LocalSettings.php, which I have all enabled, but where or how do you upload files? Is there a form some where? Do you have to use FTP? And again, mediawiki online help is just too vague! And then, how does one reference them in a page?
Grrrrr.

I'd like to be able to have local copies of a MediaWiki at several locations, in the event some locations become unreachable. The updates to the wiki wouldn't be too frequent, so I wouldn't have to worry much about a sync taking place during an update. In fact, I'd be ok doing a nightly sync.

So, the entries in the MediaWiki are stored in mysql, and the attachments are stored in a directory?
If it were a flat filesystem for everything, and rsync would do the trick since it would only pick up the changes. This would also allow bi-directional updates.
Is there a way/tool/application to replicate a MediaWiki server to other servers? I'd like to be able to have local copies of a MediaWiki at several locations, in the event some locations become unreachable.

Any help would be great.

Hi
I'm trying to customize my print settings, I have a couple questions:
What is the difference between CommonPrint.css and wikiprintable.css?
How do I remove the following components from my print version:
1) pagetitle
using syntax in both CommonPrint.css and wikiprintable.css
#pagetitle{
display: none;
}
- not working
2) whoshere now bar
tried
#whoshere{
display: none;
}
- did not work
3) Override browser settings such that site ulr and date printed are never printed
Thank you!!

Hi
I would like to create an advanced query page using sphinx, similar to this
http://www.nearby.org.uk/geograph/query-builder.php
The creator has generously provided the server side of the code:
http://svn.geograph.org.uk/svn/branches/british-isles/libs/geograph/sphinxw…
How do I do implement this on mediawiki? I have no idea where to start if that someone could point me in a general direction that would be fantastic.
Thank you in advance!
