Users tracking
by Francisco Ramos 15 Oct '04

15 Oct '04

Hello everybody! I'm doing a project with Wikipedia, that consists in using SCORM. If you don't know what it is, you can check the link: www.adlnet.org If anyone thought in use SCORM with Wikipedia, say something. For that project I need, for each user know the pages he had visited. When the user logins, and he visit some page from Wikipedia, I want to save that information. Anybody can help me on how to save that information? I use Wikimedia 1.3.6 on Windows. Thanks, Francisco

State of SVG support
by Brion Vibber 14 Oct '04

14 Oct '04

I've been poking at SVG support a bit; 1.4 in CVS now has the ability to run SVG images through an external rasterizer to display PNGs inline (ImageMagick, Batik, or sodipodi/inkscape though I've had trouble getting those last two working). Of course it would be preferable to be able to use the actual SVG images inline when possible; they should download faster and should print at full resolution. The <object> tag theoretically should let us use the SVG image when the browser supports it and automagically fall back to the rasterized PNG. Unfortunately in my testing I've had a few problems: * No transparency support for plug-ins. All tests I did showed the SVG image on a solid white background. * If the image is embedded in a link, clicking it does not work if the SVG is showing; the click is passed through to the SVG plugin. * In Firefox, clicking or even right-clicking on the PNG if SVG is not available will bring up a plugin search dialog! * Firefox bugs the user to install a plugin if they don't have one already installed. If you click the button to search, it's unable to find any suitable plugins. :P * Printing with the Adobe SVG plugin doesn't work in Safari or Mozilla on Mac OS X, possibly other browsers/platforms are affected. * Some Mozilla users on Debian reported not seeing any image at all on my test page. The test page is here: http://leuksman.com/misc/svgtest/ Anyone have ideas for working around these problems in a sensible way, or is real inline SVG that "just works" like our other images just out for now? -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Weird behaviour
by Gerard Meijssen 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

Hoi, On it-wiktionary there is some odd behaviour going on. The result is that a page does not render well when saved but does in preview mode. When the line ends with a ; the next template is wrong. When I remove the ; it renders fine after saving. Any idea ?? [[wikt:it:Austria]]. Thanks, GerardM

Hi, I have made some modifications to the config/index.php. Now it should be possible to use anoter DB-user than "root" to create DB-accounts and DBs for the wiki. Since I just tested that it works for me, someone, who knows the code should check the modifications. --Ivo Köthnig
