2 different databases behind 1 wiki

by B W

In the context of an educational project I would like to offer several case studies on a wiki, but these case studies should also be available in another database (=a database that is different from the wiki-database). My question is: How can I set up a database that contains the description and elaboration of the case studies and that is linked to the wiki-database? Is it possible to connect them so that e.g. case studies which are written down in the wiki are automatically put in the case-study-database (or viceversa)? Has someone any experience with this? Thanks in advance! B. Weynants

Can I send email from a form I created as a Special Page?

by Victoria Powers

I think that this has been discussed before, but I am still unclear if it is possible to send mail from within the wiki. I have developed a form as a special page to capture and search data using a mysql database and I would like to implement a mail notification when new data has been entered. Is this possible? If the default is that this functionality has been disabled, is there a way to enable it? I really just need to know my options of implementing a mail notification within my form. Any info is appreciated! -V

Changing interface's language by hacking code

by thomas Armstrong

Hi. I'd like to allow users to change Wiki interface's language, by clicking a link, instead of modifying their preferences. I've been browsing the code, and I guess I must change a property of $wgContLang, but I don't find which one. Any suggestion? Thank you very much.

How do i hide users from User List?

by Jon Savian

Hello How do i go about hiding users on the User List page? Since the mediawiki documentation says not to delete suers from the database, i figure hiding them on the webpage is the next best thing. Even removing the User List page from the special pages would work too. how can i do this?

Magic word for talk page?

by Nick Jenkins

Hi All, On http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words it lists all the various MediaWiki magic words. I'm looking for something that can be used to give the talk page for the current page. For example, in: * The main namespace (namespace 0), it would return "Talk:{{PAGENAME}}". * In the talk namespace ({{ns:1}}), it would return "Talk:{{PAGENAME}}" (since the talk page for a talk page is the talk page itself). * In the User namespace ({{ns:2}}), it would return "User_talk:{{PAGENAME}}". * In the User talk namespace ({{ns:3}}), it would return "User_talk:{{PAGENAME}}" (since the talk page for a user talk page is the user talk page itself). * And so forth... Does anyone know of a way of doing this? If not, can I maybe suggest a new magic word along these lines, such as "{{TALKPAGE}}", which would do this? All the best, Nick.

Text access on toolserver?

by Gregory Maxwell

What is the status of getting text access back on Toolserver? Is there anything I can do to make it happen? The lack of text access is killing most of my projects other than toy statistics gathering.
