Hi, I just need some help on how to display the first few items of page on another page using a template? Something like in the "MediaWiki News" wherein only the first few items(Recent News) of the page will display on the mainpage and has a link below to display the whole page or older contents. Any help would be appreciated. -zham

Turn your "wiki news" page into an RSS feed with WikiArticleFeeds: http://jimbojw.com/wiki/index.php?title=WikiArticleFeeds and then display it with the <rss> tag such as http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Mutante/RSSFeed. That's what we do. Alternatively, check out the extension "Dynamic Page List". It is INSANELY powerful. It can extract bits of other pages to create this sort of effect. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicPageList DanB -----Original Message----- I just need some help on how to display the first few items of page on another page using a template?

You say not all pages. Does that mean it does appear on some pages? If so, try clearing your browsers cache... On 9/28/07, Alexandre Pedroto <alexandre.pedroto(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Did you double check to make sure the logo is still in /skins/common/images? Also, make sure LocalSetting.php has the correct logo file name in $wgLogo, like this... $wgLogo = "$wgStylePath/common/images/YOURLOGO.png"; On 9/28/07, Alexandre Pedroto <alexandre.pedroto(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Try using the full IP-path to your image e.g. $wgLogo = 'http://[Your IP-Number]/_fhbwiki/fhbwiki2.jpg'; That was the only way I could make the logos work for me. I'm using mediaWiki 1.10.0 and with the path mentioned below, the logo only appeared in the edit-pages, the login-pages and maybe some others, but I'm not sure which.

It was exactly what happens with me. Maybe a Media Wiki bug?? Alexandre. Katharina Wolkwitz escreveu:

I think it's just because $wgStylePath is defined to "false" in DefaultSettings.php and therefore you just have to put $wgStylePath = "$wgScriptPath/skins"; in LocalSettings.php (just as it use to be in earlier version like 1.5) ;-) Hence add either : $wgLogo = "$wgScriptPath/skins/common/images/YOURLOGO.png"; or $wgStylePath = "$wgScriptPath/skins"; $wgLogo = "$wgStylePath/common/images/YOURLOGO.png"; in LocalSettings.php (after require_once( "includes/DefaultSettings.php" ); of course) (tested locally, didn't work with $wgLogo = "$wgStylePath/common/images/YOURLOGO.png"; only, but with solutions above it works) Alexandre Pedroto wrote :

Thanks Alexis, now the logo-path works in my wiki as it should. :-) Seems like you have to use the combination of setting $wgStylePath to $wgScriptPath/skins and then setting $wgLogo to $wgStylePath/common/images/YOURLOGO.png I think I tried almost everything else - putting the image into different locations and then using either relative or absolut paths, but nothing worked. I must have had something wrong in my paths... Alexis Moinet schrieb:

New subject: [Mediawiki-l] Problems with Logo after upgrade of MW

Hi again, I think I've found the reason, why it wouldn't work for me before. It seems that mediawiki uses a different definition of relative or absolut paths than I knew. For example in my installation $wgScriptPath is set to "/_fhbwiki". Afaik normally (in html, shellscripts or programming-languages) that's an absolut path and points to a directory or file directly beneath the root-node of a linux-system. It seems that here this path points to a directory beneath the document-root of the same linux-system (whereever that may be). If one sets the path for $wgLogo like this $wgLogo = "/_fhbwiki/skins/common/images/fhbwiki2.jpg"; it works, but $wgLogo = "/opt/lampp/htdocs/_fhbwiki/skins/common/images/fhbwiki2.jpg"; doesn't. In http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgScriptPath the value for §wgScriptPath is defined as a relative path but the example shows /wiki, which to me was an absolut path (until now). Is this something unique to mediawiki or is it a "feature" of PHP? Greetings Kate

All "path" variables are paths, that is, web-facing paths; all "directory" variables are filesystem paths. For example, $wgUploadPath vs. $wgUploadDirectory. The exception to this rule is $IP, which is a filesystem path. This *should* be documented in LocalSettings.php or includes/DefaultSettings.php. Rob Church

"filesystem paths" and "web-facing paths", these were the ideas my uncomplete knowledge of English was trying to express (in my other mail) with confusing words like "computer paths" and "server paths" thanks Rob ;-)

I guess one could find it, if one knew that there are different kinds of absolute paths... ;-) Thanks Kate

/wiki is an absolute *server* path (i.e. *from the point of view of your web host*), it's like the "/" refers to the root of your domain (i.e. the http://www.domain.org), not to the root of the physical thing you also call a server (like in /home, /boot, /usr,...). /wiki can be seen as a sort of relative path from the point of view of your web directory (/opt/lampp/htdocs/) on the physical computer. For instance if you consider the html tag "img", you can use src="http://yourdomain/wiki/image.png" or src="/wiki/image.png" which are absolute *server* path but (normally) you shouldn't be allowed to use src="/var/www/wiki/image.png" which is absolute *computer* path you can also use src="./image.png" or src="../../anotherfolder/image2.png" which are relative *server* path (--> again, relative to the location of the current page *from the host point of view*, not from the physical point of view) I hope I haven't been too "unclear" nor incorrect.
