Re: [Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki-l Digest, Vol 82, Issue 14 - MediaWiki-l

13 Jul 2010

Q - thanks for replying. Yes, I meant wikilinks.

All the wikilinks in my Wiki have references to the Wiki server IP address
(see example below), which now needs to be changed. So I 'm still trying to
figure out:

1. How do I do this? Where is all this text stored?

2. Is a global find-and-replace the best solution, or is there an
alternative?

Many thanks!

V.

  Happy Tuesday everyone,

 This is really the first time I 'm posting to this list since I figured  this
  to be the best forum after reading
 http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mailing_lists.

 So I 've been using MediaWiki for a while now, and all the links in the  Wiki
  contain the IP address of the Wiki server (in red
below). For instance:

 Quick start document for adding/deleting circuits
 [[http://10.32.6.11/wiki/images/9/96/MegaVision-QuickStart.doc
 QuickStart]] 
 [[Foo]] are for wikilinks, IE: to pages on the wiki.
 [http://www.foo.com] are for urls.
 Do you mean
 [http://10.32.6.11/wiki/images/9/96/MegaVision-QuickStart.doc QuickStart]?

  1. How do I do this? Where is all this text
stored? 
 Depends, see above.

  2. Is a global find-and-replace the best
solution, or is there an
 alternative? 
 Depends, see above.

  3. Was there a way I could 've avoided using
the server IP in these  links?

 [[Media:Filename.doc]] will give a direct link to uploaded files and not
 take you to the description page.
