Hi guys,
I'm working on setting up a wikipage for my research lab and our tech
support gave us the interface of mediawiki. Due to the university
constrain rules, I cannot access the backend files such as configure php
files etc. However, I have such a function that need to be implemented.
There is a publication page which contains all the publications we had
the lab. My boss asked me to make it:
1. edit once affect everywhere;
2. can be sort by time or authoer name or type (conference, journal,
thesis.);
3. can be colored by different publication type;
4. can be referenced in each person's wikipage but only with a subset of
the publication list (the paper appears in one's page only if he/she was
the author of the paper. Thus, it creates synchronize challenge with
goal 1.)
I know that we could create a mysql database and use php files to do
that (exactly what we did before.)
I know it is too much to ask, but I'm really dancing with the "handcuff"
on since I cannot access the backend and only via the mediawiki
interface. Are there any other ways to finish this task?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
