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.
