Hello I need your help with the extension:Renameuser. I am using MediaWIki version 1.10.0. First I placed all of the files from Subversion in a folder with in extensions. But once I add require_once( "{$IP}/extensions/Renameuser/SpecialRenameuser.php" ); this line to LocalSettings.php I get a lot of random characters at the top of the page. Please help

Thanks Andrea

I did see Tidy mentioned on a lot of the pages I found, but I couldn't find a MediaWiki extension page or anything. Perhaps you could point me in the right direction so I can figure out how to install it and hopefully get my Infoboxes displaying properly? Thanks! -Azurite

pages, but there doesn't seem to be a solution to #if: acting finicky.

Do you have Tidy installed and functioning? Just a guess, but that is often a problem with Infoboxes. Either that or you are missing a lesser template like {{!}} or some CSS.

Hi Marc,

Sorry I forgot to do this yesterday...Account created. Actually, lots of the CSHL people could have done it too, but they probably forgot that they have the power. With your account, you can also create new users on EcoliWiki.

The next version of TableEdit does away with the Create Table Here link. Just puts an empty table in directly. I will try to work on a way to make it do infoboxes like the ones on Wikipedia. You can now make the float, though:

http://ecoliwiki.net/colipedia/index.php/Doodle

controlled by

http://ecoliwiki.net/colipedia/index.php/Template:Database_table

Does that work for reactome?

I just did a install of mediawiki 3 days ago so I know absolutely nothing, well I did get some great help on editing pages.

I know absolutely nothing about PHP.

I am having a hard time with a starting page.

After the install and initial startup of the wiki I go to:

http://mywiki.xxx:90/DHLXMLwiki/index.php/Main_Page

Ok, so I figure I can just start here and add some text and get on my way.

However I am getting to the wiki by way of a re-direct on a Windows 2003 IIS web server to an Apache web server

on a different machine on the network.

My re-direct is set for http://mywiki.xxx/index.php/Main_Page

BUT (a big but) the URL in the browser is http://mywiki.xxx:90/DHLXMLwiki/index.php/Main_Page/

There is no Main_Page/ so I am prompted to edit the page:

Main Page/

There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title http://dhlxml.mobiledhl.com:90/DHLXMLwiki/index.php/Special:Search/Main_Pag e/ in other pages or edit http://dhlxml.mobiledhl.com:90/DHLXMLwiki/index.php?title=Main_Page/&action =edit this page.

What is the suggested way of doing a re-direct from IIS?

I have to use IIS for some other web sites at the IP address so, that I can see, I have to use a re-direct.

This is really confusing to say the least.

Thanks for the help.

Ralph

I just moved to a VPS from shared hosting and not using pretty URLs is enabled. How can I turn this off? I have some custom code that will not work with it.

Sorry, in my frustration I did not check my wording.

I just moved to a VPS server from shared hosting. I went to reinstall mediawiki and it is showing pretty URLs as enabled.

How can I turn this off? I have some custom code that will not work with the pretty urls.

Tidy is not an extension to Mediawiki, it's a separate program.

There is a version in PHP that is convenient to use. Some info in this thread: http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5057&highlight=tidy

Read all the posts - I mention one of the settings I forgot in a later post.

There is a bug in Parser.php if you are using PHP5 with PHP's Tidy. I submitted a patch to Mediazilla but no one's done anything with it yet. If you have a problem with it, the code to fix is posted here: http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4594&page=3

Hello,

How can I get this statement work in my page?

<embed src="http://widget.meebo.com/mm.swf?twVrPzyB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="190" height="275"></embed>

I followed instruction and installed flashow, flash, and embed_document extensions. But, the beginning and ending brackets (< >) do not seem to be written correctly to the outputpage file. They are converted to < characters. (something like this: <embed src=. . ./embed<) Can someone help me correct this problem? Am I using the correct extensions? If not, what should I use?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Last time I checked, this sets the defaults only for the first time a user logs in. If a user has logged in previously, you need to update the saved preferences via database script as mentioned early in this thread.

Also you should probably be modifying LocalSettings.php rather than includes/DefaultSettings.php....

in includes/DefaultSettings.php

search for NS_MAIN => true,

should look like

$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault = array( NS_MAIN => true,

add this right under it.

NS_CATEGORY => true

I just moved to a VPS server from shared hosting. I went to reinstall mediawiki and it is showing pretty URLs as enabled. How can I turn this off?

There are several methods for eliminating index.php from the URL: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL

If you were using a simple rewrite rule, probably all you need to do is disable the $wgArticlePath setting in LocalSettings.php: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgArticlePath

I'm trying to use pagefromfile.py and everything is fine until I use a certain user ID as the login for the bot. But if I try with a different user ID (configured the same way, login ok) the script runs but refuse to modify the page saying that I either have a cascade lock set or I'm affected by bug 9226.

Hints or solutions anybody?

Thanks a lot,

Maurizio

I reinstalled mediawiki, eaccelerator was showing as not available.

So, after installing it, I added to the localsettings $wgUseEAccelShm = true;

Im not sure if this is how you do it, but the manual on $wgUseEAccelShm is lacking.

Is there a way to see if it is running?

I checked my version http://64.22.97.143/~rpedia/index.php/Special:Version

But im not seeing either way.

? MediaWiki: 1.10.1 ? PHP: 5.2.3 (apache) ? MySQL: 5.0.27-standard

Thanks, -Adam
