Re: [MediaWiki-l] extension installation
by Shlomit Afgin 10 Jul '12

The extension I need to install usually marked as obsolete, unmaintained or archived. Probably it's the reason the version is not updated. The extension I need: FCKeditor SimpleSecurity CategorySuggest StubManager CrudeProtection Also the extension Group Based Access Control is unstable and unmaintained. It's recommend to download AccessControl but the download tar file is empty. Thanks, Shlomit. On 09/07/12 15:12, Shlomit Afgin wrote: I start to install some extension to 1.19.1 mediawiki.

You should install into a 1.19.1 mediawiki the version of the extension for the 1.19 branch. An extension made for a different version will generally work, but it may not. What extension are you trying to install?

Vector skin: Expand all items for non logged-in users
by Eric K 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

The vector skin collapses all the items on the menu so that means a visitor probably doesn't know there's more stuff hiding in the menus and important links get hidden from view. How do I make it so the default view expands all items on the menu? I've tried the Vector skin extension and it doesn't work. Anything else I can do? 'collapsiblenav' => array( 'global' => false, 'user' => true ),

16.5 to 19.1 install issue update.php adds only 1 table
by Tom Hutchison 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Hoping someone can help me figure out why 1.19.1 update.php script is dying by what is coming next in the script MediaWiki 1.19.1 Updater Going to run database updates for mw_update Depending on the size of your database this may take a while! Abort with control-c in the next five seconds (skip this countdown with --quick) ... 0 ...ipblocks table does not exist, skipping new field patch. ...ipblocks table does not exist, skipping new field patch. Creating interwiki table...done. Adding default interwiki definitions...done. Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; in LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging information. Little stumped it dies without error, i think I should be looking for 99 total tables when the upgrade script finishes, but it is just creating 1 extra. Is the fact that ipblocks being hit twice the issue? Apache/2.2.20 (Ubuntu) PHP Version 5.3.6-13ubuntu3.8 MySQL client version: 5.1.63 PHP extension: mysqli The db is 30MB and the 16.5 version runs perfect on my localhost, not a hitch. Log in, edits, uploads. I tried running the rebuildall script before the update in 16.5 just to make sure the db was good. Since I have control of script time, I tried web based update, says it completes, but the db is showing only 1 page, main page default for a new installation even though the db now says it is 32MB, but a rebuildall only sees 1 page. The dump from the 16.5 wiki was a MySql 4(don't even get me started) into my MySQL 5 db. Could that be the issue? MyISAM to InnoDB issue? Thanks Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Re: [MediaWiki-l] central text in all Pages
by arload 05 Jul '12

To use transclusion, write like this example, in original wikitext : <section begin=sectionname /> texte to transclude <section end=sectionname /> In destination wikitexte write like this example : {{#lst:Template or page name| sectionname}} see also Parser functions. In original wikitext, we can use several sections. Some years ago, I also ask to HTML the *include* way which exists in many languages. They answer "not exists". This question continue in the web, and all these workarounds show a miss in HTML5. This way could be usefull : <include src="url" from="tag.class #id" /> with *src* to any page, internal or external of the site, and *from* to define which part to include, with the same syntax as jQuery.

central text in all Pages
by Isabell Alcott 04 Jul '12

04 Jul '12

hello, i have the following problem / wish (I hope that i can express it correctly, if not please ask): I d like to create one text which will be shown by command under each article. But if i change this text, the changes should be changed under all the other textes too. For example: I create http://www.mywebsite.de/wiki/This_is_my_text now I would like to include this text as a part of http://www.mywebsite.de/wiki/Page_01, http://www.mywebsite.de/wiki/Page_02, http://www.mywebsite.de/wiki/Page_03 and so on. If I change http://www.mywebsite.de/wiki/This_is_my_text, the changes should apperar automatically at the other pages. I think this should be done easily, maybe someone has the time and wants to give me a hint where i could learn how to do this. 1000 thanks I.
