-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Three questions re: RSS parser, Calendar extension, and Skins From: khuffman(a)NGS.ORG Date: Fri, August 18, 2006 6:32 am To: mediawiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org Hi, I have three questions. Q 1) I've added an RSS parser to my extensions library for some of my Wikis (MediaWiki ver. 1.6.8). Some of my sites I have set up can only be accessed either from a specific IP addresses or through a password to the directory. I am using the RSS extension and Magpie to display external feeds within my wiki using the tags <rss></rss> but have not been able to display feeds from our IP authenticated or password protected blogs. My blogs and sites that are open work fine. Is there a way to display content from either IP authenticated areas OR password protected areas using the RSS parser and Magpie. Q 2) Has anyone written a calendar program that integrates with MediaWiki? Something that I could drop into my extensions library? PMWiki.org has a PMCalendar in their Cookboox and says that it may be compatible with other Wikis. Have through about giving it a shot unless there's something better. Q 3) In MediaWiki:Sidebar, I have divided the navigation bar into two areas e.g., *main navigation and *quick links. So, on the left sidebar, I get two boxes for organizing my links. When I change my default Skin to the Cologne Blue (or any other skin), though, only my *main navigation box/links appear. My *quick links box/links disappear. Is there a way to keep this persistent even if you use other skins?
