Hi, When the url is entered directly between the rss-tags all goes well. It seems impossible however to get the url from a parameter in a template, because the url is always turned into a link, which the RSS extension handle. So <rss>http://rss.cnn.com/rss/edition.rss</rss> does work, but <rss>{{{RSS url|}}}</rss> with the same url as value of the parameter does not. Is there a solution for this problem that I am overlooking? Thanks, Ad

Moving Manual:Pywikibot to Pywikibot

by Amir Ladsgroup

Hello all, Based on several discussions here and there I want to move [[Manual:Pywikibot]] <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/PWB> (and all of the subpages which are about 200 pages) to [[Pywikibot]] like other products Another reason that motivates me to move is the page (and subpages) aren't just about running a bot. they are about everything, including reports, discussions, description about scripts and anything about pywikibot in general. If you disagree or you have any ideas please feel free to share and if there will be no objection until Tuesday, I'll move them. Best -- Amir

New version of Semantic Bundle, with Semantic MediaWiki 1.9

by Yaron Koren

Hi everyone, This is really news from a week ago, but there's a new version out of the Semantic Bundle, that now includes the latest stable version of Semantic MediaWiki, 1.9.2, as well as updated versions of most of its other extensions. It took a little while to "iron all the kinks out", as well as to make sure that the package fully works for people across different systems, but now everything seems to be fine. About Semantic Bundle: it's a package of over 25 extensions and libraries, that includes SMW and extensions that are typically used in conjunction with it. You can read more about SB, and download it, here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_Bundle -Yaron

Maintenance script automation

by John Foster

I have been doing a lot of editing of content to my site & have noticed that the runJobs.php script seems to be only running when I manually do it. I thought that all the mediawiki maintenance utilities were run by mediawiki as needed to keep the site up to date with the maintenance the massive editing generates. I've searched the web for info on this but have found little to suggest that any of these scripts are in fact automated. Can someone advise if that is the case? Is there a logging process for those scripts performance? Thanks john

$wgContentNamespaces and ['isarticle']

by Tom Hutchison

Maybe I'm missing something, but is there a way to check the $wgContentNamespaces against (or should it) $this->data['isarticle'] to include or not include something in output in a skin. I have about 6 namespaces considered content with $wgContentNamespaces in the array. So using <?php if ( $this->data['isarticle'] ) { ?> .... I thought it would only insert in the pages defined in content namespaces and not in pages of namespaces not defined as content. So for example, I could insert in all pages in Main namespace, Foo, Foo1, etc but User, Template or Category would return false and not insert. Thanks Tom

Is there a version of the Navigation Popups gadget that works on MW 1.23?

by Arcane 21

I tried importing the Wikipedia version of Navigation Popups gadget to my wiki (currently running MW 1.23 RC1) and it doesn't seem to work. Is there an earlier version that does work on MW 1.23?

My users are experiencing a new error lately: "Cannot Connect The proxy could not cnnect to the destination in time." This tends to occur when saving a page with a Navbox or Infobox. Is there something in MediaWiki I can tweak to alleviate this? Thanks Bill

Controlling edit rights with an Active Directory/LDAP group? (Maybe with LDAPauthentication)

by Daniel Barrett

Has anyone successfully limited wiki edit rights to the members an Active Directory group? The LDAPauthentication extension permits "synchronization" between AD groups and wiki groups, but I haven't found any details on the exact nature of that synchronization, just some short descriptions: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication/Configuration_O… Our LDAPauthentication configuration, which limits *logins* to the members of an AD group, is here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:LDAP_Authentication#Controllin… I fantasize that after "synchronization" with AD groups, I'd hope we could do: $wgGroupPermissions['AD group name']['edit'] = true; but I have no idea if such a thing is possible. Thanks for any insights, pointers, etc.! DanB

ImageMap

by Legault, Phillip [ITSUS]

I have looked at Imagemap for mapping links to co-ordinance on an image. It is very good for those that have the tools and knows how to figure out the co-ordinance. Is there something available where when someone wants to create page and use a window select on the image to and enter the url they want for that section? If not it would be a nice to have Phil Legault
