Automatically showing contents from other wikis
by Claudi Meneghin 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

Hello, is it feasible to show contents from a wikipedia in another one, please? That is to say, could we e.g. show contents from the English village pump in the Lombard one and so on? Another application could be to show the English or French news, since at present we do not have strenght enough to drive a news departement. To state it better, we would like to create news contents taken from different projects, one project a day. For a while, we could also use the ''today featured article'' as a ''today proposed translation'' (not necessarily in the main page). Thank you.

Status of BitTorrent Downloads
by Jeff V. Merkey 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

There have been a large number of downloads of the torrent files for the images, however, there does not seem to be a lot of interest form folks in helping seed the images files. I have had a lot of folks connect then disconnect. I set a limit on upload speed since torrent can be energetic. The torrents are not trackerless, since the DMCA requires that I be able to notify folks, the torrent uses a tracker. Anyone interested or who feel trackerless torrents would be preferred let me know. I also would like to see more folks join the swarm so we can propogate the seeds more efficiently. I have setup a second seed to improve the performance. Jeff

MediaWiki 1.10 pretty much all working with MS Sql Server
by DJ Bauch 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

After another week or so of work and a little helpful advice from Brion Vibber, I have MediaWiki 1.10 (modules pulled from the SVN trunk and added to the 1.93 baseliine) pretty much all working on Microsoft SQL Server 2000. I won't try to get my stuff merged in until after the 1.10 release passes, since I suspect the core developers will have their hands full until then. The problems identified in my 15 March post have been fixed. In particular, the "pagers" are working. To get this to work, I had to add three or four lines to the PHP database driver I'm using (ADOdb). By default, the ADOdb driver does not allow moving backward through a record set, even though it uses a static, client-side cursor (at least when connected to SQL Server) perfectly capable of doing do. I also had to wrap the database query from the IndexPager class (Pager.php) with calls to set the fetch mode to associative and then back to the default numeric. Unlike the MySQL driver, ADOdb does not do both at the same time. Almost all of the MediaWiki PHP code works fine with numeric fetches, but the pagers need associative fetches. Interlanguage links are handled by making a change to LocalSettings.php as suggested by Brion, as is template documentation that's referenced as {{/doc}} I discovered that the template processing problems I was trying to debug are known, and I didn't introduce them. HTML generated by templates is not always valid, and therefore MediaWiki doesn't correctly produce WikiPedia articles without HTML tidy. Getting HTML tidy to work on my server was more frustrating than it had to be, since the external tidy won't work in conjunction with the MediaWiki as it's currently set up on Windows (tidy and MediaWiki engage in a deadly embrace) and the API to use the internal tidy has changed from the time that section of the MediaWiki code was written. Help pages from PHP.net weren't as helpful as they could be, since they mostly document the 4.3 version instead of the 5.1+ version -- and I'm using a pretty recent PHP release. Fortunately, the 5.1 syntax is reasonably close to 4.3, albeit now using bona fide classes. It's working. The tables seem to be mostly behaving themselves now. In particular, redirects are now being populated, recentchanges being recorded and (as of today) logging seems to work as it should. This last one took a little longer, because my logging table lacked a column (log_id) that was missing from the tables.sql that I used as a baseline -- but that gets referenced in queries later on. I threw in an IDENTITY column named log_id and all is well. Very few changes had to be made outside of the DatabaseADOB (extends Database) class. Here and there, things were getting over-quoted (i.e. putting quotes around the result of calling DatabaseADODB::addQuotes) and the stuff right after the comment: # This is a hack to work around PHP's flawed invocation of cmd.exe # http://news.php.net/php.internals/21796 in the function wfShellExec in GlobalFunctions.php well, that was just wrong -- must be a PHP 4 thing. I couldn't get Batik or ImageMagick working until after I fixed that stuff.

Multiple Languages
by bert.van.der.auwera＠skynet.be 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

Hi all, Our soccer club, Royal Sporting Club Anderlecht, will exist 100 years in 2008 and for this we're starting up a RSCApedia (www3.rsca.be/wiki). Now, as a Belgian club, we're multilangual: Dutch/French/English. For this, I wanted to ask you how to install this wiki-site with multiple languages. How can we make it happen that the people who visit this site can choose their language and switch from it by using the menu at the left? Vriendelijke groeten, Bert Van der Auwera -------------------------------------------------- Royal Sporting Club Anderlecht bert(a)rsca.be <mailto:bert@rsca.be> - 0477-416.097
