Interlinks in MediaWiki
by Agata.Correia＠unibas.ch 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

Dear All, I'm trying to configure a interlink in the Navigation menu. The link is configured as [[de:Adăugare_informației_despre_un_dispozitiv_medical]]. I would like to cancatenate to the link the following "?setlang=de", the problem is that when I configure [[de:Adăugare_informației_despre_un_dispozitiv_medical?setlang=de]] the window opens with the following URL : Adăugare_informației_despre_un_dispozitiv_medical%3Fsetlang%3Dde. The "?" is transformed into "%3F" and the same happens with the symbol "=". Is there any work around for this?

Re: [MediaWiki-l] [Wikisource-l] Proofread extension "extraction" of OCR text in Djvu
by David Cuenca 25 Jul '13

25 Jul '13

I'm forwarding this message by George Orwell III on en-ws [1]. I think it is extremely important as it offers an insight about what is wrong with Djvu handling on Wikisource. "We/you are losing the X-min, Y-min, X-Max & Y-max (mapping coordinates) because the original PHP contributing a-hole for the DjVu routine on our servers never bothered to finish the part where the internal DjVu text layer is converted to a (coordinate rich) XML file using the existing DjVuLibre software package because, at the time, the software had issues. "That faulty DjVuLibre version was the equivalent of 4,317 versions ago and the issue has been long fixed now EXCEPT that the .DTD file needed to base the plain-text to XML conversion on still has the wrong 'folder path' on local DjVuLibre installs (if this is true on server installs as well, I cannot say for sure). Once I copied the folder to the [wrong] folder path, I was able to generate the XMLs all day long. These XMLs are just like the ones IA generates during their process (in addition to the XML that AABBY generates for them). "So its not that we as a community decided not to follow through with (coordinate rich) XML generation but got stuck with the plain-text dump workaround due to a DjVuLibre problem that no longer exists. Plus, the guy who created the beginnings of this fabulous disaster was like tick with an attention span deficit and moved on to conjuring up some other blasted thing or another instead of following up on his own workaround & finish the XML coding portion once DjVuLibre glitch was fixed. -- 15:16, 15 July 2013 (UTC) [1] http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Scriptorium#EPUB.2FHTML_to_Wikitext On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 6:57 AM, Alex Brollo <alex.brollo(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Just a brief comment about djvu text layer, using IA files to digging > deeper the topic. > > FineReader OCR stores an incredibly detailed information in a proprietary > format; then, various FineReader versions export something of this > extremely rich set of information into different outputs - one of them > being djvu text layer.

Importing/Exporting Wiki
by Ryan Rick Acta 23 Jul '13

23 Jul '13

Hi, I am a technical writer and I have a lot of questions. Our company has been using MediaWiki for their documentation. We have a new client that recently bought our products and now needs help in their documentation. Our product documentations are posted in our wiki site. The clients are now requesting that they have copies of our documentation. I am also proposing that the create/build their wiki site on MediaWiki to have an easy transition with regards to the documentation. Now the process of transferring the documentation will be exporting and importing wikis. I have found the following articles regarding importing/exporting wikis: * Help:Export: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Export * Help:Import: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Import Can you confirm that these are the articles that i need regarding importing/exporting wikis? Is it possible to import/export our wikis to a new MediaWiki for the client? One more thing, we also have some documents in Confluence (Atlassian Confluence 3.5.3). Is there a way to import/export them to our MediaWiki page (we call them Docs Wiki)? It also needs to completely replicate the Confluence page including the codes, images and links. Hope you can help me on this. I would really appreciate this. If there is anything else, please let me know. Thanks! PS. I am unsure if i should directly name our company and the client. This is regarding the confidentiality clause.

Upload file issues with mw1.21.1
by Philip Bellino 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Hello, I apologize for posting this as I did post it earlier, but I am at a total loss as to what the problem may be, so I am pleading for help. I upgraded from 1.16 to 1.21 and then 1.21.1. Ever since upgrading from 1.16, I can no longer upload files. It is not a permission or ownership issue, as all directories/sub-directories/files all the way down through and including each parent directory "/var/www/html/wiki/images" have root as owner and group and everything is set for 777.

22 Jul '13

Dear Teammates, At the very end of a MediaWiki installation of v1.19.2, using IIS 7.5 and I.E. 8.0, I am unable to download LocalSettings.php, and don't know how to proceed. Since this is failed, how can I get it ? Is there anything I can do manually on the server to get it ? I was trying to download LocalSettings.php from my Windows 7 client. thanks, Lori

ContentHandler hook deprecations
by Mark A. Hershberger 21 Jul '13

21 Jul '13

I just noticed that ContentHandler has understandably deprecated several hooks. However, not all the hooks have been updated as deprecated on the mw.o. Some of their replacements aren't even documented on mw.o. Worse, there isn't any schedule for how long the legacy hooks are going to be supported or any HOWTOs for developers interested in making their extensions work in MW 1.21+.. This is especially frustrating for developers who may have used ArticleViewCustom (new in 1.19) only to have it be deprecated a year later in 1.21 for ArticleContentViewCustom. (If anyone did use this hook in 1.19, they didn't document that use on mw.o, so we don't know about it and can't warn them about the issues that may come from this.)

Mediawiki Database and .htaccess
by sharmistha sen 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Hi All I am new member in the mailing list. Currently we are developing a video streaming site using Mediawiki/ We are facing the following issues and any help would be really welcome. Kindly note following are the issues we are facing in Mediawiki: 1.DATABASE: In mediawiki we could not find the relation between the tables and all are saved as a blob type. Kindly explain the relationship of the tables and uses of all the table. We could find of the table relations for user registration and page history. But we are not aware of other tables. 2. Pages: We are using htaccess for redirection but it is getting conflict with the mediawiki's '$wgArticlePath' and '$wgScriptPath'. Because of these problems we could not access the site without ending with '/'. If we are avoiding '/'. The page is getting not found error. 3. .htacces ========= RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ /mediawiki/index.php?title=$1&actions=$2 [L] 4. Localsettings.php ================== $wgScriptPath = "/mediawiki"; $wgArticlePath = "/mediawiki/$1/$2"; Kindly advice us regarding this. 5.Html contents: Kindly let us know how can we view the custom html contents using extensions in mediawiki pages. Now we are viewing by using the following method. $wgParser->setHook('test', 'testFunc'); in the page we are publishing the content returning by 'testFunc' is by using tags like <test></test> Kindly suggest us regarding this. We can use skins but we have to do some php functions inside the files. Regards Sharmistha
