Hi Thomas, i spend a lot time today in trying out this ... I found this: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SelectCategory So i installed a MW 1.9 from SVN for testing ... and ... :-) The extension works fine! In approx. 3 weeks the 1.9 will be release, an I think, I will migrate at end of january to 1.9 with my production-wikis. Including this extension :) Best regards, Jan _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

Hi, I tried implementing the following extension http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SelectCategory using mediawiki 1.8.2 i know the message says it works only with 1.9, but has anyone had any sucess with implementing it on a lower version? i get the following message when i use the "edit" tab on any page... Fatal error: Call to undefined method Title::isSubpage() in C:\wamp\www\mediawiki-1.8.2\extensions\SelectCategory\SelectCategoryFunc tions.php on line 25 Thanks, AJ. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

Does anyone know when the stable release of mediawiki 1.9 is expected??

Hio AJ! MW 1.9 isnt release yet. Its only a development-version available, called 1.9svn (alpha). The latest release you can download as an zip/tar-archiv is 1.8.2. People, who want to download this alpha-version, need an SVN-Client to download the current repository (which changes several times every day). Regards, Jan Thomas, Arjun schrieb:

Hi, I'm trying to solve a problem I'm having with grouping articles using mediawiki. Is it possible to have a multiple sub-categories with the same name under different categories? E.g : England - Population - Area United states - Population - Area. Thanks, Arjun.

Thanks..... is there anyway to modify the categories name space to enable hierarchy management? -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Chris Smeder Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 12:33 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Categories issue.. I think you are wanting what wikimedia calls name spaces. You need to create custom name spaces. This is easy, it involves editing your LocalSettings.php file. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Using_custom_namespaces On 1/7/07, Thomas, Arjun <Arjun.Thomas(a)ps.net> wrote: _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

Well.... For e.g. :If you were to group restaurants in various cities under cuisine titles.... You'd have the following logical structure. New York - Italian - French - Indian Paris - Italian - French - Indian. Now, while working with the current categories in mediawiki. If I were to group a restaurant under "Italian" in the city of New York and do the same with a restaurant in Paris. They would both be grouped under the same category "Italian". Whereas I would like them to be in 2 separate areas i.e: an "Italian" sub-category under New York and another "Italian" sub-category under Paris... I know this explanation is long winded but I'm really trying to figure out a way around this hurdle.... Any help would be most appreciated.. Thanks in advance!!!!

I figured as much, when you sent me the method of creating custom name spaces... Now the problem is, if you are dealing with hundreds of cities. creating custom name spaces for them isnt practical. I'm looking at creating a sub-category which is unique to the category it belongs to regardless of the fact that it shares the same name with another sub-category grouped under a different category... Thoughts? -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org]On Behalf Of Chris Smeder Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2007 12:13 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Categories issue.. So you want to be able to do both Italian:Paris Italian:NewYork and NewYork:Italian NewYork:French NewYork:Indian ? I am confused If you just want New York - Italian - French - Indian Paris - Italian - French - Indian. Then make to custom name spaces, one called NewYork and one called Paris New York:Italian New York:French New York:Indian Paris:Italian Paris:French Paris:Indian.
