New subject: [Mediawiki-l] WikiTex: Xymtex install

5 Dec 2005

      Hello; I've been attempting to install the xymtex package for  
WikiTex. I uploaded the entire 17 megabyte package to my webspace,  
then I pasted an example from Wikisophia into a new page:
...
<chem>\octamethylene{4==S;5==S}{1W==HO;1D==O;8D==O;8W==OH;2SB==H; 
7SA==H;2SA==NH$_2$;7SB==NH$_2$}</chem>
The following error was returned:
...
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.4.5)

I've been trying to fix this all evening. I've been messing with the  
wikitex.chem.inc.tex file.
Also of note, the xymtex directory is within wikitex directory.  
That's why I used "xymtex/xymtex.sty".
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hi !
I installed MediaWiki in my company and I would to customize it.
I would like to add "History navigation links" at the top of the page.
For exemple : MainPage > MyProject > ProjectDocumentation when I visit
MainPage, then MyProject page, then ProjectDocumentation page in order
to quickly return to the last page instead of return to MainPage  
each time.
How could I make this in MediaWiki ?
Thanks for your help.

I have two new extensions to through into the mix:

Graphviz embedding extension.  It generates Graphviz

(http://www.graphviz.org) images from embedded markup.  Although one
already exists, I couldn't find the source code, so I wrote a new one.

Graph generating SpecialPage.  This extension allows you to query

your wiki for both XML and Graphviz markup of subsets of your  
wiki.  As
an added bonus, the content can be transparently included in pages so
dynamic graphs (images) of relations can be generated.
The extensions can be downloaded from
http://opensource.case.edu/projects/MediaWikiHacks/
A live example of these extensions is the Case Western Reserve
University Wiki (http://wiki.case.edu).  Some links of interest are:
http://wiki.case.edu/Special:Graphs
http://wiki.case.edu/Category:Staff
http://wiki.case.edu/Category:ITS_Employees
http://wiki.case.edu/CaseWiki:Categories
As you can see, for all smaller category pages, a graph of the  
category
layout is automatically generated.  (Yes, I know about the font  
issues).
This extension is a work in progress and is a little rough around the
edges.  I welcome any input others should provide and am open to
suggestions for future possibilities.

I am getting a failure trying to upgrade from 1.4.12 to 1.5.2. I  
have problems running update.php :

I have narrowed this down to execution of the following query from  
updaters.inc near line 390:
    $wgDatabase->query( "INSERT INTO $revision (rev_id,  

rev_page, rev_comment, rev_user, rev_user_text, rev_timestamp,
                                rev_minor_edit)
                        SELECT old_id, cur_id, old_comment,  
old_user, old_user_text,
                                old_timestamp, old_minor_edit
                        FROM $old,$cur WHERE  
old_namespace=cur_namespace AND old_title=cur_title", $fname );
If I run this query directly via mysql
INSERT INTO revision (rev_id, rev_page, rev_comment, rev_user,  
rev_user_text, rev_timestamp,
                                rev_minor_edit)
                        SELECT old_id, cur_id, old_comment,  
old_user, old_user_text,
                                old_timestamp, old_minor_edit
                        FROM old,cur WHERE  
old_namespace=cur_namespace AND old_title=cur_title;
I get the following error:
ERROR 1062 (23000): Duplicate entry '5-1' for key 1
How do I correct this so I can convert from 1.4.12 to 1.5?
(Possibly relevant: MySQL bug http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?

Somebody has hacked together an extension to do exactly this, see

I gather that to get it working with 1.5 you'll need to make some
changes, explained on the 'discussion' tab of that page.

Hi there wikipeople! Thanks for your help on the installation issues I
was having earlier.
I'm up and running at http://www.singletrackwiki.com however, I'm now
having difficulty finding an article that explains in plain english,
without much mumbo-jumbo, how to create a template for an infobox.
I've looked through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infobox and also
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Infobox_templates and also
found http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template
The problem however, is, as you may know, I am not a programmer and
have little experience with code other than HTML and CSS... can anyone
explain, or point me to an example that explains more simply how to
create a template for an infobox like the one attached? My brain shut
off when I read "...can be inserted into another page via a process
called transclusion. It is comparable to a subroutine." This is
supposed to be helpful?!? :)
Anyway, thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer. I
appreciate it greatly.
Attached is what I want to create.

Look at the top of the file; there should be a few lines which are
responsible for preventing users executing the scripts directly.
Comment them out or remove them.

MediaWiki 1.5.3 is a security and bugfix maintenance release.
Validation of the user language option was broken by a code change in
May 2005, opening the possibility of remote code execution as this
parameter is used in forming a class name dynamically created with
eval().
The validation has been corrected in this version. All prior 1.5  
release
and prerelease versions are affected; 1.4 and earlier and not

Hallo!
at the beginning of
http://yi.wiktionary.org/wiki/project:bugzilla/ 
02042#more_test_links_available_soon
there are three links regarding tests with *Unicode Character NO-BREAK
SPACE - U+00A0*
  1.. project:bugzilla/02042/ - tried to generate the UTF-8  
character with
"copy and paste" in Firefox
  2.. project:bugzilla/02042/ - tried to generate the UTF-8  
character with
"copy and paste" in Outlook Express
  3.. project:bugzilla/02042/ - tried to generate the UTF-8  
character with
"copy and paste" in Word
  4.. project:bugzilla/02042/  - generated with &#160;
  5.. project:bugzilla/02042/  - generated with &nbsp;
I copied the fourth link on a Windows XP SP2 system
1 in Firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv: 
1.7.12)
Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7)
2 in Outlook Express
3 in Word
However I was not able to copy &nbsp; and generate the correct link  
using an
UTF-8 character.
Is this
a) a MediaWiki character conversion issue
b) an issue related to the operating system
c) an issue related to the used programs
Would be happy about your feedback.
