Conditional Resource Module Loading
by Tom 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

I would be grateful for some direction or an idea of where to look. I feel like I'm going in a circle with the resource module docs. What I need to do is load a js module based on language direction in a skin. Ltr load a ltr.js, rtl direction load a rtl.js instead. Here is what I came up with, please let me know if there is a better way to do this. if ( $GLOBALS['wgLang']->getDir() == 'rtl' ) { $out->addModules('skins.script-rtl.js'); } else { $out->addModules('skins.script-ltr.js'); } Preliminary testing seems to work, is there a better or recommended way? Thanks Tom

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Mediawiki REST over Jersey problem

Dear Team, Am trying to create users on mediawiki using REST API. Am using Jesey client in the code to achieve the same. Here are the steps am following: Step 1: Make REST call to mediawiki without token but with user details(who's account has to be created). This generates a token Step 2: For the same url which i used in the Step 1 am appending the token parameter with value received in Step 1. But this is again generating a new token instead of creating the user Thanks, Shwetha

Painful Short-URL
by kghbln 09 Jun '16

09 Jun '16

Heiya, this is painful for me. There is a wiki accessible with the following logic: "http://example.com/wiki/Main_Page" When I edit I have: "http://example.com/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit" To get this magic running I have the following RewriteRules: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L] RewriteRule ^/?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L] And in "LocalSettings.php": $wgScriptPath = "/w"; $wgScriptExtension = ".php"; $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1"; $wgUsePathInfo = true; // true or false does not make a difference Everything is cool until I dare to try accessing a page containing a special character, e.g. "http://example.com/wiki/So_ein_Ärger" and end up in an indefinite redirect loop. This wiki is a MW 1.26.2. Any hint out there? Never encountered anything similar. Admittedly not my first wiki. Thanks and cheers Karsten

Links in templates?
by Emanuele D'Arrigo 08 Jun '16

08 Jun '16

I've been having difficulties assembling internal links within templates. A standard link such as [[User:Alice|Alice]] works just fine. But if I try to do something like: [[User:{{{user|Unknown}}}|{{{user|Unknown}}}]] I get the content of the parameter "user" to appear, but it won't be a link. Similarly, I tried to use [[User:{{safesubst:REVISIONUSER}}|{{safesubst:REVISIONUSER}}]] to provide a link to the user who added the template, but it doesn't seem to work either, no matter which combinations of <includeonly> tags I try. Thoughts? Kind regards, Manu

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Mediawiki postgres socket

> npyxg1mg2kn7dvk0rl06 asked: > I tried ... > $wgDBserver = "/var/run/postgresql/" This is the one you should use. Your web server may not have permissions to view that directory. You should first verify that postgres is listening on that socket with: psql -h /var/run/postgresql If that works, check SELinux or other things that may be limiting access to that directory.

Mediawiki postgres socket
by npyxg1mg2kn7dvk0rl06 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

What $wgDBserver and $wgDBport settings I should use with postgres socket? What I tried: $wgDBtype = "postgres"; $wgDBserver = "localhost"; $wgDBname = "dbname"; $wgDBuser = "dbuser"; $wgDBpassword = "password"; $wgDBport = "5434"; # Yes I run postgres in /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5434 $wgDBmwschema = "mediawiki"; I tried also empty $wgDBserver and $wgDBserver = "localhost:/var/run/postgresql/"; and $wgDBserver = "localhost:/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5434" with commented $wgDBport, as well as $wgDBserver = "/var/run/postgresql/"; and $wgDBserver = "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5434"; Mediawiki works OK with port, but I want mediawiki to use socket. Since all other applications use it without any problems.

Logo links to main page instead of homepage
by Dustin Phillips 04 Jun '16

04 Jun '16

I have an installation of mediawiki 1.24.2 and when I click on the logo it links to the main page, but it is different from the landing page that I see when i first visit the site. How can one change the path of the link of the logo? Thanks! -- Dustin Phillips . Co-Executive Director, ICANNWiki . M +13605801923 . E dustin(a)icannwiki.com . W icannwiki.com <http:/icannwiki.com>

Enterprise MediaWiki Conference (EMWCon) in Review
by Chris Koerner 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

Hello Mediawikians, Last week I was fortunate enough to attend the first Enterprise MediaWiki Conference in New York City, NY [1]. It was an interesting three day event that covered many various topics around the use of MediaWiki outside of Wikimedia projects. All sessions were streamed live and are archived. [2] I put together some notes on my experience [3] as well as G. Brett Miller another community member (and coincidently a fellow St. Louisian!). [4] I encourage you to take a look at the sessions and notes. I had an enjoyable time due to the excellent planning by our hosts (Yaron Koren, Pharos, and Pete Woudsma) and would love to see more events in the future.
