View all content pages of a category
by Antonio Pacino 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

Hello, At first sorry for my bad english. For my personal wiki, I have a lot of pages in 1 category ("My CD"). I can see the list of theses pages with URL /index.php/Category:My CD. But i find no way to view all *content* of these pages in 1 page (i want the list of each track, pictures, albums, lyrics, etc..). For exemple if i have 300 pages named like this : "Metallica/Kill Em All", "Guns N Roses/Appetite For Destruction", "Megadeth/Countdown to Extinction" classed in [[Category:MyCD]] i would like to edit like this : page : /index.php/All of my CD : {{:Guns N Roses/Appetite For Destruction}} {{:Metallica/Kill Em All}} {{:Megadeth/Countdown to Extinction}} {{:...}} {{:...}} {{:...}} {{:...}} {{:...}} (300 x times ?! too long, just the whole [[Category:My CD]]) I wish automatic handling to print all the pages contents of My CD category without editing the "All of my CD" page each update... :/ I didn't find any extension or way to do that (intersection extension gives just the list pages not the content). Thank you if you can help me. Antonio

FlaggedRevs problem
by Brandon Pimenta 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

I have FlaggedRevs protection enabled. When setting the protection to "flaggedrevs-protect-sysop", as an anonymous user, edits do not require review, and are visible immediately. How do I protect the page so its edits require review? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional information: MediaWiki: 1.17.3 PHP: 5.3.0 (apache2handler) Database: SQLite 3.6.15 with full-text search support FlaggedRevs branch: REL1_17

Wanted: technical advisor for Fanlore wiki
by Sumana Harihareswara 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

I'm forwarding this (below) on behalf of the Fanlore community, which is seeking some volunteer help. Fanlore is an important archive for the speculative fiction community. I'd appreciate it if someone could take a few hours to help them with their current needs, and I'd be delighted if you could mentor some of their volunteers so they could fix their own long-term needs. -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation Fanlore (fanlore.org) is a wiki about fan culture and history that can be edited by anyone who registers. The wiki is a volunteer project of the Organization for Transformative Works (transformativeworks.org). It's a few years old now, and in need of advice on the technical front. We're looking for someone who, basically, knows enough about MediaWiki and wiki spam protection to know what Fanlore needs. We need a technical liaison whose role would be to advise us (the OTW's wiki committee) on what improvements are needed, and which software/extensions we need to make those improvements. Someone with knowledge about MediaWiki skins would be ideal. Our current default skin, WordPress, has an unfortunate bug that prevents image centering, and the skin is deprecated or soon-to-be deprecated in the most recent versions of MediaWiki. We'll need to switch skins eventually, but before we can do that, we need to redesign the infobox templates because those were originally designed mainly to work with the default skin. We already have people with knowledge of CSS and HTML, but no one with advanced knowledge of wiki templates. In addition to our current needs, long-term maintenance of the wiki also involves investigating (rare) bug reports from users. The technical liaison would investigate the bugs and determine whether they can be fixed, how to fix them, and who can fix them. We're currently in the testing phase for a MediaWiki upgrade, but it's been plagued with various technical and personnel availability issues and isn't going very quickly. The MediaWiki upgrade will theoretically help our spam problem because better tools are compatible only with the more recent versions. In the meantime, we're also testing recaptcha and will use that to prevent spambots from signing up. However, recaptcha isn't our favorite, and we're hoping we can revisit our spam solutions once we upgrade MediaWiki. Anyone who's interested in advising us on how to whip Fanlore's MediaWiki installation into shape, please mail wiki(a)transformativeworks.org with any questions and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. Looking forward to hearing from you, The OTW wiki committee

Bulletin Board extension for mediawuiki
by Malka Cymbalista 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

I am looking for a bulletin board extension for mediawiki. I found MWBB (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MediaWiki_Bulletin_Board) but it says there that it is in beta. Is there any bulletin board extension that is robust and is in good working condition? Malki Cymbalista Webmaster, Weizmann Institute of Science Malki.cymbalista(a)weizmann.ac.il 08-9343036

Passing a SessionID to MediaWiki received by the API
by Jens Albrecht 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

Hey! I have a question regarding SessionIDs received by API and passing them to MediaWiki to keep being logged in. I have my own page where I use the MediaWiki API to read out all available page. I log in with the API and can read those Informations. Now I want to display those Informations on my page, in this case I list all those pages in a table with a link ot he original MediaWiki page. If a visitor of my page clicks now on one of those links, he is directed to MediaWiki to view that page. Since you need to be logged in into my MediaWiki to view any page, how can I pass the sessionid I received via the API to my MediaWiki? Is there a way to pass it via GET ? For example "http://mysite.xy/mediawiki/index.php?sessionid=[the <http://mysite.xy/mediawiki/index.php?sessionid=%5bthe%20sessionid%20I%20got %20from%20API%5d/Mainpage> sessionid I got from API]/Mainpage". I tryed to set the mediawiki_session, mediawikiUserName, mediawikiUserID and mediawikiToken cookies from my site for the domain where the mediawiki is running, but that didnt worked. Mysite and the MediaWiki running on different servers! Please help me realizing this, ist very important for me. Regards, Jens Albrecht

recursiveTagParse() side effects
by Sal Quintanilla 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

I'm working on a tag extension that prevents rendering of blocked output under certain circumstances. It either does or does not use recursiveTagParse() to do the right thing for blocks between my <block></block> pairs. It works exactly the way I want it to, but I've got a couple of side effects. The biggest one is that when headers are involved, the section edit links report "Cannot find section" when clicked. I'm not sure what to do about that, any ideas? The other is that I'm using FCKEditor, and as expected, selecting "Rich edit" just shows a <special> tag where my tagged text is. It looks like FCKEditor issues haven't been discussed for 4-5 years, but if anyone can point out an article I haven't found yet on how to support new tags, I'd appreciate it. In my case, I just want it to treat the tag like it wasn't there, nothing is blocked while editing. Any insights would be appreciated, thanks. Sal

mysql replicaiton using rss feeds
by chris 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Hello All, I've asked before but I didn't get an answer that resolved my issue so I'll asked again in a different way maybe so it will be clearer. I've got a master-slave wiki set up and I'm using Extension:RSS. The master is using a private IP address and getting its feed from another server in the same private IP space. The slave is in another private network and is connected via vpn to the master. I'd like to set up the slave so that it gets its feed from another server in the same IP address as it is in. The server that is the source of the feed for the master is also getting replicated from the master's private network to the slave's private network. So theoretically the RSS feed should be identical. The problem I'm encountering is that since the master server is in the private IP space of 192.168.101.x/24 and the slave server is in the private IP space of 192.168.201.x/24, the RSS template I'm using between the master wiki and the slave wiki is not the same since the master points to the RSS feed of 192.168.101.x and the slave points to the RSS feed of 192.168.201.x. So I have to edit the slave's RSS template to make the change to accommodate the slightly different IP address which breaks replication since now the databases are different. Anyone have any suggestions ? p.s. there is a vpn concentrator at both ends of the vpn which nats that 2 networks together.
