[Mediawiki-l] CSS and Common.js

Tue May 29 18:44:00 UTC 2007

 Hello,

Does anyone know how to add the navFrame Feature listed here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NAVFRAME

It claims that you need the commmon.js file but I cannont find it
anywhere.  Are we supposed to create one from scratch?  If so where do
we put it and what is the correct way to link it up?

Also, I have received requests for css support.  Some of my co-workers
would like to be able to use css classes like the wikitable mentioned
here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table.  We are currently using a
custom version of the monoskin layout.  Where can I go to add these new
css classes?

Thanks,

John Getzke

I thought you had set it up already, why do you need more instructions?

Generally people ask specific questions such as how do I change the logo
or how do it protect a specific page and they will get an answer or a
link to an answer, I think your problem is you are asking a very vague
question.
By now you must have realised there isn't a complete set of instruction
to your standards, rather specific articles on how to accomplish a
specific task, perhaps you can try re-asking you question in this form?

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to restrict edit of certain pages to a
certain group of people while allowing edit of all the other pages to
whoever signs up. The "Protect" tab seems to be only for administrators.

Thanks,
Amit

Since I wrote TabbedData, I'm wondering what the incompatibility is?  Is
there something I can change in TabbedData to make this work?

BTW, the UsenetSyntax page makes no mention of requiring
ExtendedSyntaxParser, and I can't find it on mw.org... where do I get
it?

Looks like I need to edit 'MediaWiki:Sidebar' to remove 'sitesupport'.
However, this is protected.  How do I access?

Thanks

Good Morning MediaWiki Fans:

I know I can export to xml and import that xml to make a copy of the
contents of a media wiki.  How about copying all the user data too, in
order to make a fully functional duplicate of a media wiki installation
?

Can I simply copy the database tables: _user, _user_groups,
_user_newtalk to replicate the user business too ?  Or are there other
tables involved with the user accounts ?

Thanks for your assistance,

--Hiram

The error is not in rss_fetch, it is actually in rss_parse still on line

Log in with a sysop account such as the one you created during
installation.

The one on the output of the parser object that was passed to your hook.
This will record it in the parser cache record for later output.

I'm not sure this is the most stable api ever, though, it feels a little
weird to me. :) But here's an example in the SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi
extension:

		$parser->mOutput->addHeadItem(
			"<style type=\"text/css\">/*<![CDATA[*/\n" .
			".source-$lang {line-height: normal;}\n" .
			".source-$lang li {line-height: normal;}\n" .
			$geshi->get_stylesheet( false ) .
			"/*]]>*/</style>\n$sitecss",
			"source-$lang" );

The first parameter is the actual HTML fragment you want to output.

The second is optional, and is a section keyword which should be unique
to your extension -- if you try to add two head sections with the same
key, only the last one will be output.

This avoids duplicate output when your hook is used more than once in
the same page. You should be sure that they really will be equivalent in
this case; if you output something different on each call, maybe you do
want to output it multiple times.

Dear mediawiki admin experts,

I have a configuration goal for my installation of mediawiki that might
technically only be a web-server related modification, but I am
convinced that the solution (if it is even possible) will requires the
advanced insights of this group of experts. Here's the situation: I have
set-up a mediawiki (1.6.10) on a dedicated company server (Red Hat,
Apache 2.0.52) which uniformly (www and intranet) limits browser
accessibility to users who have a company username and password which
they are required to provide to the browser in order to view the wiki
articles. wiki user-accounts for authoring are handled by the LDAP
module. This part all works great. --- The problem is --- that I am now
being asked if it is possible to make certain pages "publicly"
accessible and not protected behind a secure browser authentication
against the company's domain (after we've gone to such excellent lengths
to protect all of the content!!!) I am being asked if specific articles
and/or all of the articles in certain namespace can be made to be an
exception to our global restrictions on who can "see" the articles. A
specific example is the "Main Page" and any of the User's pages. So,
does anyone know how to configure a mediawiki such that "some" pages
require secure browser authentication even just to see them? If so, the
ideal solution would behave such that new pages are created inaccessible
from the public by default. --- sincerest thanks all. - Rich (revansx)
