I am interested in adding mechanically-generated content
(e.g., text, images) to MediaWiki pages, as discussed in
http://www.cfcl.com/~rdm/weblog/archives/001002.html
I think that the cleanest way to do this might be to let the
user put in an "include" request for some specified content.
A program could then note the request and generate a file,
which MW could fold into the page whenever it was displayed.
Problem is, I don't know what provision (if any) MW has for
including files, etc. I've looked over Help:Contents and
the extensions list, but I haven't recognized anything that
seems relevant. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Is it possible to track a user's activity (other than watched pages, of
course) to see who has logged in and how much time they have spent in the
wiki?

It's very interesting for me too, but if there is possibility to track user watches -- good too.

Hi everyone,

two more questions:

1. My logo is showing in the left corner, but much to big.
How do I change the size?

2. Is there any FAQ or Documentation for Beginners available?

Maybe one FAQ for the Sysop and a FAQ for the Users?

1. The logo needs to be about 135px square.

2. There are two FAQs, mostly administrative;
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ and
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:FAQ. Meta also features a complete
user's guide. How much of that is correct or up-to-date is
questionable.

Dear Rich,

I published a framework for this under the title

"Getlets: extending the interwiki concept beyond any limits"

during the First International Wikimedia Conference 2005 04.-08.08.2005 
in Frankfurt/Main, Germany.

Please find this presentation in the Proceedings which location has 
recently moved to [1]

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Graphviz extension
To: "Mediawiki-L" 
Message-ID: 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hallo,

I would like to integrate "Graphviz" extension in ZUM-Wiki
(www.zum.de/wiki).

I've read some instructions about it, on the following sites:
http://www.graphviz.org/
http://www.wickle.com/wikis/index.php/Graphviz_extension
telling:
you must copy Graphviz.php to $mediawiki/extensions directory and add this
line to LocalSettings.php: include("extensions/Graphviz.php");
Also you must set $wgGraphVizSettings->dotCommand = "/usr/local/bin/dot";
to accomplish your installation of graphviz.
http://www.wickle.com/wiki/index.php/Windows_Graphviz_Installation_Instructi
ons
telling:
include("extensions/Graphviz.php");
$wgGraphVizSettings->dotCommand = "C:\Program
Files\ATT\Graphviz\bin\dot.exe";
http://www.schwiki.de/wiki/SchWiki:Graphviz

I've found the Graphviz.php on:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mwextensions/mediawikiextensions/

I tried to install "Graphviz" extension, but didn't have success.

My three questions are:

1. Obviously, I need to install Graphviz, before I can install the Graphviz
extension: Where and how do I have to install Graphviz?

2. Which text do I habe to include exactly in LocalSettings.php?

3. Which other things do I habe to do, to be able to use Graphviz extension
in MediaWiki?

Regards
Karl Kirst

I cannot help you with the Graphviz extension (at least not much), but I 
can help you installing the graph extension, which is, IMHO (but I am 
biased :) much better suited for a wiki:

http://bloodgate.com/perl/graph/
http://bloodgate.com/perl/graph/manual/

If you need help with that, don't hesitate to email me :D

Best wishes,

Tels
