Wikifamily with shared file repo: wgUploadNavigationUrl doesn't seem to have any effect
by Andru Vallance 12 May '13

12 May '13

Hello, I'm setting up a multi-language wiki family, with the wikis all using a shared file repo. Currently the language wikis correctly display media from the shared file repo wiki, but I'd like any file uploads on the language wikis to be redirected to the shared file repo wiki (mediapool). The documentation for $wgUploadNavigationUrl (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUploadNavigationUrl) states Point the upload navigation link to an external URL. Useful if you want to use a shared repository by default without disabling local uploads, e. g.: I've assigned this setting the URL of the mediapool wiki Special:Upload page for all language wikis, but contrary to the documentation, file uploads on the local wikis are not redirected, and indeed any files uploaded on the language wikis remain local, unavailable to the mediapool wiki. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions? Thanks Andru

One might note that on Debian I found one must use # a2enmod dir or else / will not get translated to /index.php .

$parser->getTitle() vs $frame->getTitle()
by Jim Hu 10 May '13

10 May '13

I'm rewriting some of our tag extensions to be more up to date in coding practice. In the docs for $wgTitle, it suggests using $parser->getTitle() to replace $wgTitle in tag extensions. What's the difference between that and using $frame->getTitle()? I'm trying to understand what I should be using $frame for. Thanks!

A few questions about integrating MediaWiki with another site
by George Tsirigotakis 09 May '13

09 May '13

Dear all, I'm currently building a social community with phpFox (SocialEngine is also under consideration). I would like to integrate MediaWiki with my community. Is this possible? If not, I guess I'm gonna have two different sites and I've got a couple of questions about that too. 1. Is it possible for the members of my community to use the MediaWiki page without to register again? 2. Is it possible articles and updates from the MediaWiki page to be shown on the members' "wall" and/or activity feed? Thank you in advance!

MediaWiki on Windows 64bit
by Hubert Patrick (NHQ-AC) 09 May '13

09 May '13

Hey Guys, Is there a 64 bit version of Mediawiki? I'm trying to install it using php5.5-x64, oracle 10gR2 (instantclient x64-11.2) and apache 2.4.4-win 64 but am getting errors when mediawiki tries to connect to DB. I'm not getting much info on the error beside: Faulting application name: httpd.exe, version: 2.4.4.0, time stamp: 0x5127dda0 Faulting module name: OraOCIEI11.dll, version: 11.2.0.1, time stamp: 0x4eb21384 Exception code: 0xc0000005 It feels like mediawiki is trying to access a 32bit version of the OraOCIEI11.dll... So has Mediawiki been compiled with 64 bits before? Thanks.

Kerberos support
by Jaap Winius 04 May '13

Hi folks, The users at my site keep forgetting their MediaWiki passwords often enough that I wonder: might it be possible to configure MediaWiki (not Apache) to authenticate them using Kerberos instead? Thanks, Jaap

When using the wgDBservers option do I need to also use MySQL replication or does this handle it all? http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDBservers Thanks.

Best WYSIWYG editor?
by Dan Fisher 01 May '13

01 May '13

I've noticed Wikia has a nice WYSIWYG editor (FCKEditor, but its no longer being developed). Any recommendations for the best Mediawiki WYSIWYG editor that works in Chrome and Firefox? (and possibly IE too but not required as the market share is only 13% and falling) I see "Visual editor" is in use by Wikipedia but its in alpha and not yet released officially.: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor I guess I should wait for this editor. Any other editors which are better than this?
