Hi,
We have disabled user profiles and any security across the Wiki, but I need users to have the ability to overwrite existing images with the same name. Currently we get the message A file with this name already exists, and cannot be overwritten. If you still want to upload your file, please go back and use a new name.
Is there a way I can turn this off?
Thanks
David

Sorry for replying to my own post, but I got it solved.
It appeared that the preference was set, but not activated until a user opened the preference pane and submitted it, without changing any data.

Hi,
New to this group, but I have tried searching extensively before asking this seemingly simple question: How do I enable the Link Wizard and the Table Wizard in the Vector skin?
I run MediaWiki 1.16, I have installed the UsabilityInitiative extension and configured it according to the guidelines, and I have the WikiEditor up and running fine. What am I missing?

What are the options for adding some text to the account creation process? At the very least I need a statement like the below added:
"By signing up to the wiki you agree to the <link to Acceptable Use Policy>"
Are there any extensions for this or variables I can change? I'd like to avoid changing the PHP page that generates this page if possible so that it's not lost in future upgrades.
Thanks!

I'm wanting to use printable version to print reviewable hard-copy editions that must be double spaced. This can be a configuration change, I have no need to make this selectable each time. Is there something in OutputPage.php that would set this?

Thanks!

You could create a new style maintenance script which overrides setup()
Ah! Of course! Thanks.
Jim
Or a special page and show the statistics in the wiki :) (note that you can disable the skin)

It's straightforward to add some text there, just edit includes/templates/Userlogin.php and add the text there, for instance:
</td> </tr> +<tr><td></td><td>By creating an account I abide to the <a +href="http://www.example.org/%22%3ETerms and Conditions</a></td></tr> <?php }
$tabIndex = 9; if ( isset( $this->data['extraInput'] ) && is_array( $this->data['extraInput'] ) ) {
Doing it in a extension is a bit harder. You want to hook to UserCreateForm and then call $template->addInputItem(). It would look like this:
$wgHooks['UserCreateForm'][] = 'efAddTerms'; function efAddTerms(&$template) { $template->addInputItem('AUP', false, 'checkbox', 'I abide to the [[Acceptable Use Policy]]'); return true; }
That would add the checkbox. You also need to verify that it was checked:
$wgHooks['AbortNewAccount'][] = 'efAbortIfUnacceptable'; function efAbortIfUnacceptable($user, &$abortError) { global $wgRequest; $abortError = 'We only accept people which agree with the Acceptable Use Policy'; return $wgRequest->getCheck('AUP'); }
Good luck

Edit [[MediaWiki:Print.css]] and place there: p { line-height: 2em; }

It goes into the skins/common/commonPrint.css file in my version. Worked great! Thanks!

Uploading files is finally fixed. After escalating help with ReadyHosting to level 3, I finally found someone who could change the image directory permissions to "full" (their term). That solved the problem, but interestingly when I look at the directory permissions using FileZilla, it still shows 755. No idea why it does not show 777, but since file upload now works I am done with this.
Thanks to those of you who helped!

More precisely, chmod the images directory so that the webserver can write to it. (If you don't have access to chown or chgrp, then you will indeed have to chmod it to 777.)

Hi Benjamin,
I removed those two lines from LocalSettings.php and got a different error message of "Could not create directory "public/1/1f"". So it still can not create a directory but at least found the images directory. What now?
Thanks, Gary

Yeah, that's rather unhelpful behavior. See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13812 (which I'm re-adding to my to-do list).
$wgUploadPath = true; ///< defaults to "{$wgScriptPath}/images" $wgUploadDirectory = true; ///< defaults to "{$IP}/images"
$wgUploadPath and $wgUploadDirectory default to false, which allows them to be initialized in Setup.php; setting them to true is
probably
causing the odd behavior. You actually don't need to set
them at all
if you just want the defaults, so you should remove those two lines from LocalSettings.php.

I believe what's crucial here is that the web server software be able to write to the directory. You're right that changing the directory permissions to 755 wouldn't fix this. Changing the ownership of the directory to the account under which your web server software runs, however, might.
