Semantic Forms: some fields duplicate upon save after edit if no information is entered
by Jay van Santen 20 May '15

20 May '15

Version info: MediaWiki 1.24.2 PHP 5.4.37 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL 5.5.41-cll-lve When I create and save a new form through Semantic Forms, all goes well. If I "Edit with Form" that page, and don't populate some fields, the field captions duplicate as well as the field names. Latest version of Semantic Forms. I'm also using a slightly modified version of the Bootstrap skin modified for Media Wiki. In order to gain better control over the styling, I'm not using the traditional captions for fields, but leaving those empty and using headings instead.

Creating a Sitemap & Creating predefined templates
by Kevin Holleran 19 May '15

19 May '15

Good morning, I use mediawiki as a knowledge base for my team. I would like to create a page that acts as a sitemap. We have used MediaWiki to create tiered categories for the different tasks our team performs. I am hoping for something that looks like: - OpSec - Firewalls - Task 1 - Task 2 - IDS - Task 1 - Task 2 - SIEM - Task 1 - Incident Response - Triage - Task 1 - Reports - 2015 - Incident 1 .... etc. Is the extension http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:GenerateSitemap.php going to get me to the right place? Also, separate question, is there a way to create a template for users to choose when creating a page? For instance, our incident reports all have the same five sections: Executive Summary, Identification, Containment, Investigation, Eradication/Recovery, Lessons Learned. Is there a way to have a choice to start with those headings built in when creating a page?

Moving large mediawiki site databases
by John Foster 15 May '15

15 May '15

I have to move a mediawiki site that has a database of approx 4.1GB. It is somthing I have done before and I usually just use the command line syntax to do it. However I have tried 3 times to export it and the files are always either incomplete due to server (Mysql) disconnect. I finally did get one that seemed to complete OK but then I tried several times to import it into the new server and likewise got server disconnect errors. I am aware that there are a multitude of possibilities, so what I'm asking here is for any tips on moving databases of this size or larger. I'm beginning to wonder if Mysql is the way to go here. Thanks! -- John Foster JW Foster & Associates

Been there, done that, fixed it, don't remember exactly how, except there was some /etc/my.cnf timeout parameter that I temporarily set to some ridiculously high value. I think I used "wait_timeout = 6000". :::: What's the use of a fine house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on? -- Henry David Thoreau :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op ::::
