Hello I need your help with the extension:Renameuser. I am using MediaWIki version 1.10.0.
First I placed all of the files from Subversion in a folder with in extensions. But once I add require_once( "{$IP}/extensions/Renameuser/SpecialRenameuser.php" ); this line to LocalSettings.php I get a lot of random characters at the top of the page. Please help
Thanks
Andrea

I did see Tidy mentioned on a lot of the pages I found, but I couldn't
find a MediaWiki extension page or anything. Perhaps you could point me
in the right direction so I can figure out how to install it and
hopefully get my Infoboxes displaying properly?
Thanks!

Hi Marc,
Sorry I forgot to do this yesterday...Account created. Actually,
lots of the CSHL people could have done it too, but they probably
forgot that they have the power. With your account, you can also
create new users on EcoliWiki.
The next version of TableEdit does away with the Create Table Here
link. Just puts an empty table in directly. I will try to work on
a way to make it do infoboxes like the ones on Wikipedia. You can
now make the float, though:
http://ecoliwiki.net/colipedia/index.php/Doodle
controlled by
http://ecoliwiki.net/colipedia/index.php/Template:Database_table
Does that work for reactome?

I just did a install of mediawiki 3 days ago so I know absolutely nothing,
well I did get some great help on editing pages.
I know absolutely nothing about PHP.
I am having a hard time with a starting page.
After the install and initial startup of the wiki I go to:
http://mywiki.xxx:90/DHLXMLwiki/index.php/Main_Page
Ok, so I figure I can just start here and add some text and get on my way.
However I am getting to the wiki by way of a re-direct on a Windows 2003 IIS
web server to an Apache web server
on a different machine on the network.
My re-direct is set for http://mywiki.xxx/index.php/Main_Page
BUT (a big but) the URL in the browser is
http://mywiki.xxx:90/DHLXMLwiki/index.php/Main_Page/
There is no Main_Page/ so I am prompted to edit the page:
Main Page/
There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title
<http://dhlxml.mobiledhl.com:90/DHLXMLwiki/index.php/Special:Search/Main_Pag
e/> in other pages or edit
<http://dhlxml.mobiledhl.com:90/DHLXMLwiki/index.php?title=Main_Page/&action
=edit> this page.
What is the suggested way of doing a re-direct from IIS?
I have to use IIS for some other web sites at the IP address so, that I can
see, I have to use a re-direct.
This is really confusing to say the least.
Thanks for the help.
Ralph

I just moved to a VPS from shared hosting and not using pretty URLs
is enabled.
How can I turn this off? I have some custom code that will not work

Sorry, in my frustration I did not check my wording.
I just moved to a VPS server from shared hosting. I went to reinstall
mediawiki and it is showing pretty URLs as enabled.
How can I turn this off? I have some custom code that will not work
with the pretty urls.

Tidy is not an extension to Mediawiki, it's a separate program.
There is a version in PHP that is convenient to use. Some info in this
thread:
http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5057&highlight=tidy
Read all the posts - I mention one of the settings I forgot in a later post.
There is a bug in Parser.php if you are using PHP5 with PHP's Tidy. I
submitted a patch to Mediazilla but no one's done anything with it yet.
If you have a problem with it, the code to fix is posted here:

Hello,
How can I get this statement work in my page?
<embed src="http://widget.meebo.com/mm.swf?twVrPzyB"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="190"
height="275"></embed>
I followed instruction and installed flashow, flash, and embed_document
extensions. But, the beginning and ending brackets (< >) do not seem to
be written correctly to the outputpage file. They are converted to <
characters. (something like this: <embed src=. . ./embed<) Can
someone help me correct this problem? Am I using the correct
extensions? If not, what should I use?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Last time I checked, this sets the defaults only for the first time a
user logs in. If a user has logged in previously, you need to update
the saved preferences via database script as mentioned early in this
thread.
Also you should probably be modifying LocalSettings.php rather than
includes/DefaultSettings.php....

There are several methods for eliminating index.php from the URL:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL
If you were using a simple rewrite rule, probably all you need to do is
disable the $wgArticlePath setting in LocalSettings.php:

I'm trying to use pagefromfile.py and everything is fine until I use
a certain user ID as the login for the bot.
But if I try with a different user ID (configured the same way, login
ok) the script runs but refuse to modify the
page saying that I either have a cascade lock set or I'm affected by
bug 9226.
Hints or solutions anybody?
Thanks a lot,
Maurizio

I reinstalled mediawiki, eaccelerator was showing as not available.
So, after installing it, I added to the localsettings
$wgUseEAccelShm = true;
Im not sure if this is how you do it, but the manual on
$wgUseEAccelShm is lacking.
Is there a way to see if it is running?
I checked my version
http://64.22.97.143/~rpedia/index.php/Special:Version
But im not seeing either way.
? MediaWiki: 1.10.1
? PHP: 5.2.3 (apache)
? MySQL: 5.0.27-standard
Thanks,
-Adam
