[Mediawiki-l] new user registration - activated by sysop

Wed Jul 19 21:29:41 UTC 2006

I want to keep registration open to new users, but allow login in their
account only after the sysop/admin activates the account... sorry if I
missed some simple setting.
Thanks in advance.

I handle support requests on the talk page of the link you provided. The
problem you are having generally occurs because either you have a
corrupted download of the plugin, or you have another extension that is
doing this.

The LDAP plugin does not output any header info. In fact, as long as you
have debug info turned off, it shouldn't output anything at all.

V/r,

Ryan Lane

I suspect that his problem might be that he's including
LdapAuthentication.php before the <?php line in  LocalSettings.php,
and that there are some blank lines in it.

PHP put's out the header lines as soon as it sees anything to output,
and that anything can be a blank line if it's before the <?php tag

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but is there any way to allow
linking of UNC addresses via MediaWiki 1.7.1?   Since the Wiki is run
internally, I'm not too worried about issues such as authentication or
accessibility... If someone's windows account doesn't have access to the
UNC share, they don't need to have access via the Wiki...   Currently,
I've tried treating it like an HTML link and using
file:///\\UNCShare/Path <file:///\\UNCShare\Path>  which didn't work...
and a few other methods... any suggestions?  I'd really like it to
handle just like a normal link... For the time being, though, I'm just
having people put it in as plain text and if someone needs to follow the
link, they copy the text and then paste it into Start --> Run...   It's
not a pretty method, but it works ;)

Thanks!

Hi Kevin,

did you add "file://" to $wgUrlProtocols in LocalSettings.php?

$wgUrlProtocols = array(
        'http://',
        'https://',
        'ftp://',
        'irc://',
        'gopher://',
        'telnet://', // Well if we're going to support the above.. -?var
        'nntp://', // @bug 3808 RFC 1738
        'worldwind://',
        'mailto:',
        'news:'
        'file://'
);

Cheers,
Jimmy

For me, using mediawiki 1.6.7 the specialpage didn't register
correctly, so I went back through the old versions of fancycaptcha.php
till I got one that worked. I think it may have been the third one
down.

Cheers!

Also, what browser is being used? Once you add 'file://' as Jimmy
stated, it should work just fine for IE... However, if you use
Firefox, take a look here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_don%27t_work

The mistake I made at first was to replace www.example.com with the
destination of the local link... it needs to be the server that is
actually serving the link rather than the content.

For example, if your wiki is wiki.host.com and you are trying to link
to file://///internalserver/file.htm:

  user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled",
"allAccess");
  user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites",
"http://wiki.host.com");
  user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");

Then you can create your link in your wiki to
[file://///internalserver/file.htm].

I tried this and the other variations listed at the link and it changed
all 
the uncreated pages links EXCEPT the ones in the Tabs, particularly the
one 
labeled "Discussion".  I can affect the hover, and the background and 
everything but the text.

I don't understand the syntax for contructing regular expressions yet,
can anybody help please?

I wanted to make one which catches all external links to sites which
begin with the number 1 and also end with .org   as this is a spam
pattern I have been having repeated trouble with recently, but using
|1*.org|  has the unintended effect of blocking all .orgs

So I reverted to this:

$wgSpamRegex="/(phente|xanax|valium|geocities|casino|myflooring.org|disp
lay:none|-ambien|overflow:[
\t\n]*auto)/";

I think |1[a-z\.]*\.org| should work, but I haven't tested it. The
phrase "1*" actaully means "zero or more occurrences of the character
1".

You can search the Internet for help about Regular Expressions.
