adding HTML headers from an extension
by Jama Poulsen 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

I'm trying to add an HTML header from a MediaWiki extension using $wgOut->addScript(), but nothing is included in the output page. Adding things after the <body> element does work fine, eg. using addHTML(), so it seems the extensions can't currently modify the HTML header parts. Is this assumption correct, or am I doing something wrong here? Thanks, Jama Poulsen http://wikicompany.org

differences between tables creation from wiki language
by Sergey Samoylov 24 Jul '05

24 Jul '05

Hi there... I've just installed mediawiki 1.4.7 And now I have a question. I've created the next table: {| style="margin:0 auto" align=center class="toccolours" style="clear:both;" |- {| class="toccolours" style="margin: 0 2em 0 2em;" ! style="background:#ccccff" align="center" width="100%"| California |- |align=center colspan=2| A |- |align=center colspan=2| B |} and checked the result html code on my wiki and on wikipedia site. And the was different view. On my wiki site it was like: <table style="margin:0 auto" align=center class="toccolours" style="clear:both;"> <table class="toccolours" style="margin: 0 2em 0 2em;"> <tr > <th style="background:#ccccff" align="center" width="100%"> California </th></tr> <tr > <td align=center colspan=2> A </td></tr> <tr > <td align=center colspan=2> B </td></tr></table> </table> On wikipedia site just only one table was created: <table style="clear:both;" align="center" class="toccolours"> <tr> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <th style="background:#ccccff" align="center" width="100%">California</th> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="2">A</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="2">B</td> </tr> </table> <p><br /></p> <br style="clear:both;" /> Why it is so different? I think the second peace of code is much better. How can I set up it? Thank you and sory for my english. Sergey

Case-insensitive login ids via AuthPlugin.php
by Rob Lanphier 24 Jul '05

24 Jul '05

Hi folks, I'm in the process of writing a AuthPlugin for bbPress, so that the WordPress folks can do single sign-on between their user forums and their MediaWiki install. First release is here: http://codex.wordpress.org/User:RobLa/bbPress_Auth_for_MediaWiki One thing I'm having trouble with is the case sensitivity issue. bbPress isn't case sensitive. MediaWiki is. This makes logging in relatively simple. As it turns out, I accidentally leveraged SQLs default case-insensitivity in my first crack at this. So, I try logging in as "RobLa". My plugin checks the bbPress database, where I've registered "robla", and allows me to check my credentials there. All good, so "RobLa" created. Log out, log back in as "RobLa", and all works well. Yay! However, I log back out and log back in as "RoBLA". It allows this too. Yay? Looking at the user db, it appears to have auto-created accounts for "RobLa" and "RoBLA". Boo! My inclination is to add a new method AuthPlugin::getCanonicalName($username), which gets called from User::newFromName. That'll give my plugin (or any AuthPlugin) a crack at munging the name just before an account is created. Before I do all of that, though, I'm hoping that there's a better approach that I'm not considering. Thoughts? Rob

Hi, a friend of mine is trying to install MediaWiki on their server. We have - compiled ocaml into /home/cutebitsinfo/orbwiki/ocaml - made sure that /home/cutebitsinfo/orbwiki/ocaml/ocamlc is executable - prepended all references to ocamlc, ocamllex, ocamlyacc, and ocamlopt in /home/cutebitsinfo/orbwiki/math/Makefile with the absolute path - run "make" in /home/cutebitsinfo/orbwiki/math/ We get the following error: make: don't know how to make util.cmx. Stop How do I fix this? Thanks in advance, Timwi

Special:recentchanges is broken in nds.wikpedia.org
by Heiko Evermann 23 Jul '05

23 Jul '05

Hi everyone, for some days there is something missing in http://nds.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Recentchanges There should be a line like the English >Hide minor edits | Show bots | Hide logged in users or in Low Saxon >"Lütte Ännern $1. Bots $2. Anmellt Brukers $3. Kontrolleerte Ännern $4." after >Wies de letzten 50 | 100 | 250 | 500 Ännern; wies de letzten 1 | 3 | 7 | 14 | 30 Daag. (Below are the last 50 changes in the last 7 days. Show last 50 | 100 | 250 | 500 changes in last 1 | 3 | 7 | 14 | 30 days) But this line is entirely missing. I have not been able to find the source of this problem. Maybe someone from the wikitech-list can help me? Kind regards, Heiko Evermann admin in nds.wikipedia.org

by Kate 23 Jul '05

23 Jul '05

hi, at avar's suggestion i've created a wiki for MediaWiki (gosh, to think we never had one of those before...). it's located at: http://wiki.mediawiki.org/wiki/Main_Page i'm not really sure what the best use for it is at the moment, but to start with, moving wikipedia.sourceforge.net there seems reasonable, and then maybe some of the documentation from meta. have fun. kate.

This would seem to be a major breach in our security. -- Arwel Parry http://www.cartref.demon.co.uk/
