Global word replacement

Hi, the Malay language is still evolving with changes in spelling or terminology. How do I do a global word replacement? PM Poon 10:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Two Pressing Issues - Image Processing and URL Rewriting

Hello - I'm the owner of ZeldaWiki.org, and we're having some pretty troubling issues at the moment. They are twofold:

• Selected thumbnails will not generate. This is displayed on our "Link" page. Many of Link's images give the error "Cannot create thumbnail:", but do not specify any further error message. I use ImageMagick to generate images, and this problem has persisted ever since we moved servers.

Do you know whether or not ImageMagick is installed on the new server and what path it is located at?

Yes. ImageMagick is installed and the convert command is located at /usr/bin/convert/. Also, ImageMagick is working properly on another site of mine, Zelda Universe.net - I've tried reinstalling ImageMagick, but that didn't seem to do anything. Upping the PHP mem limit also didn't help. --Jason 14:32, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I can't see why it wouldn't be working... the thumb script is reading the proper image, because this test shows that it knows the original size and gives a proper error saying it won't make it bigger. You could try adding some additional output into thumb.php to tell you exactly what command it's attempting to do and then seeing what happens when you replicate that command from the shell? You could also try replacing thumb.php with the 1.10 version and see if that one works. --Nad 21:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I wanted to use a file from 1.10.1, but was unable to find that release for download (nor 1.10.0). I tried 1.10.2, but because the problem began with 1.10.2, it was expected that it would not work. --Jason 11:43, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

When you updated the DB did you move the images folder from the old installation to the new one?--Gregorcy 21:44, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, and I checked and made sure all images were uploaded properly. --Jason 18:28, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I know this might seem as though I'm pestering, but does anybody have any clue as to how to fix this issue? It really is of the utmost importance.--Jason 23:38, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

This issue has still not been solved. Nobody has any clue at all? --Jason 01:27, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

• Since upgrading to 1.11.0, URL rewriting has ceased to work properly. I checked the .htaccess, and rewriting is on. In fact, to go to a URL manually or to search for a page will take you to the correct page with the correct URL. It is only with special functions (such as editing, uploading, viewing history, etc) that the user is taken to the wrong URL.

My previous URL schema was /pagename. I have changed it to /index.php?title=pagename in order to fix this URL issue - clicking on any of the tabs at the top of the page brings you to an odd index.php page when the URL schema is the former. It is, however, crucial that the short URL's are working. --Jason 11:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm having this trouble since upgrading to MW1.11 as well, I've found that it's not the rewriting itself, but rather seems to be a problem with having $wgArticlePath set to "/$1", it stops it from being broken by setting it to "/wiki/index.php/$1" (or whatever path your is at), but of course this means that some URL's won't be friendly. I'll let you know when I figure out the problem and get the URL's working properly again. --Nad 12:10, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm narrowing the problem down (see OrganicDesign:MediaWiki 1.11 title extraction bug), and have found the the issue only occurs when $wgUsePathInfo is set to true. The $wgUsePathInfo global is used to allow URL's to specify the article title using a slash after index.php (eg. /wiki/index.php/myArticle). If you ensure that your rewrite rule translates friendly URL's to the full long-form using the title query-string item, then setting $wgUsePathInfo to false will get your friendly URL's working properly again. The only drawback of this is that you won't be able to have titles with un-encoded ampersands in them, but this is far less of a problem than friendly URL's not working at all. --Nad 04:39, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I narrowed the problem down to a new WebRequest method called extractTitle, but I'm not sure what they're trying to do with it, so until they come up with a proper solution I've just replaced the WebRequest constructor method with the one from MediaWiki 1.10, and made the interpolateTitle method (which makes the calls to the problematic extractTitle method) return without doing anything. This allows $wgUsePathInfo to be set to true allowing /wiki/index.php/foo style requests. See OrganicDesign:MediaWiki 1.11 title extraction bug for details. --Nad 07:08, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, this solution has fixed the problem. Let's hope they do something with that extra code, else get rid of it altogether. --Jason 11:43, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Adding link entries into the footer section

Hi
Im trying to add links into the footer section and just wondering how to do this through MonoBook.php.
Ive found the section:

		// Generate additional footer links
?>
			<ul id="f-list">
<?php
		$footerlinks = array(
			'lastmod', 'viewcount', 'numberofwatchingusers', 'credits', 'copyright',
			'privacy', 'about', 'disclaimer', 'tagline',
		);
		foreach( $footerlinks as $aLink ) {
			if( isset( $this->data[$aLink] ) && $this->data[$aLink] ) {
?>				<li id="<?php echo$aLink?>"><?php $this->html($aLink) ?></li>
<?php 		}

And wish to add page links in here. For example, Id like to have a link in here called:
Change Log
That goes to page

http://<server>/mediawiki/index.php/Change_Log 

I cant hard code the full url path, because my server is accessed via 2 different urls, so I need to somehow put the new entry in without hardcoding the server name. Thank you. —58.175.32.115 23:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

There is a global variable called $wgServer which is the domain that the current request is dealing with. Have a look at all the path variables as others may also be of interest. Also if you want to create a link to a title which uses the proper URL format and is independent of the current domain or wiki installation specifics, use the following method:

$url = Title::newFromText('ArticleTitle')->getLocalURL(); # not using any query string items
$url = Title::newFromText('ArticleTitle')->getLocalURL('action=foo'); # using query string items

Config subdirectory unwritable by webserver.

When i go to my wiki, it comes up with a message saying

"In order to configure the wiki you have to make the config subdirectory writable by the web server. Once configuration is done you'll move the created LocalSettings.php to the parent directory, and for added safety you can then remove the config subdirectory entirely."

I do not have access to the server, what should i do? —75.17.17.185 15:41, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

You must have had sufficient access to be able to get the MediaWiki installation there, whatever you used for that (eg. an FTP program?) should give you the ability to set permissions on the files. --Nad 21:31, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I used an FTP client, i dont know which permissions to set to make the directory writable.

You'll need to read the documentation for you ftp client to find out how you go about setting file permissions with it, when you've done that just make the config directory world-writable during install then move the generated LocalSettings.php file into the parent directory and lock the config directory down again or delete it. --Nad 03:50, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help =)

Can I call a Command Line Tool (in maintenance directory) without command line access?

Is it possible to call the command-line tool (dumpBackup.php for example), located in the maintenance directory, without having access to the command line? I mean - php code should be able to call other php code...

nofollow tags

I'm aware that this probably sounds noobish, but I would like some basic information on how to add the rel="nofollow" attribute to the <a href> tags for a specific interwiki link prefix. The wiki that I aid in administrating is trying to avoid boosting this one site's rankings as much as possible, which is difficult, seeing as we frequently link to them. I'm very inexperienced at PHP coding, and any assistance would be much appreciated. —Linus M. 17:44, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

on every page in Main Namespace

Hi guys!
Id like to include the NEWSECTIONLINK on every page/and every newly-created page, by default in the Main Namespace. Appreciate if someone could give me some pointers. Thanks —58.175.32.115 02:44, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Adding the following to your localsettings should do it, no guarantees though ;-) --Nad 04:28, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

$wgHooks['ParserBeforeStrip'][] = 'wfAddNewSectionLink';
function wfAddNewSectionLink(&$parser) {
        if ($parser->mTitle->getNamespace() == NS_MAIN) $parser->mOutput->setNewSection(true);
        }

Thanks Nad champion. I will give it a try :>)
Nad gave it a try and it didnt add. Wondering if there is any way to add this to a template, and the template is called for every page in the Main Namespace.

I tested the code and it does as expected, but make sure you edit and save or add action=purge to ensure you're not viewing cached output, because changes to the script do not invalidate parser-cache content. --Nad 07:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Showing older versions until the newer version of an artical ain't released

OK, my English is not so good but I hope you'll understand me anyway.

I want to protect my articles of viewing by anyone except a special group. If anyone else is trying to watch these articel, protected by me, he will be shown an older version that was released earlier. It's a kind of quality management. As long the newer informations are not checked by anybody in that special group, the older version of this articel should be shown. Is there any extension or a possibility of MediaWiki to do that? —213.214.18.64 06:52, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

This is a popular request, but currently I don't think there is such an extension. --Nad 07:41, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually there is Extension:PageProtectionPlus, and Extension:CrudeProtection that seem to address the issue here. Check these out. 72.149.111.10 12:39, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Neither of those extensions appear to be addressing this requirement. The idea I believe is to limit the default public view of an article to a certain revision until a member of an authorised group releases it to either the current or a more recent revision. None of the current security extensions are dealing with revisions, but rather just deny access completely to certain content of all revisions. --Nad 22:20, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Exactly. Those extensions doesn't accomplish the requirements --213.214.18.64 12:12, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't think this is too difficult to achieve and I'm working on a simple extension to do it, your comments about the method would be welcome, see OrganicDesign:Talk:Extension:PublicRevision.php --Nad 11:20, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Upload files directly into a page

Hi!
Just wondering if there is an extension that will allow you to upload files directly into a page instead of using the "Upload File" option, which you then have to reference what file you have uploaded into the page. —58.175.32.115 08:41, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

No, sorry. You do have to admit, though, that refrencing it inside an article makes it appear neater when you go to edit it. 72.149.111.10 12:45, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

write a message at the top of the article

I want to display one message at top of any any article that will be decided by administrator. Please have one look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honesty and tell me how to implement it in mediawiki
Thanks in advance
—Bpishere 11:00, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

That's just a template, you can see it in the source if you edit the page. Are you meaning that you want a message to appear on all pages without adding a template to the source? --Nad 20:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like the global $wgSiteNotice is what you are after. You can set it in LocalSettings.php. --Rob 21:19, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

posix_uname()

Whenever I try to enter my wiki, this error pops up:
Warning: posix_uname() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/diez2/public_html/wiki/includes/Setup.php on line 80

Also, the function in setup.php on line 80 is:

if ( function_exists( 'posix_uname' ) ) {
	$wguname = posix_uname();
	$wgNodeName = $wguname['nodename'];
} else {
	$wgNodeName = '';
}

What is going on here? 72.149.111.10 12:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

It's probably that your hosting provider has disabled the uname functionality at the OS level but has not disabled it from PHP. The php.ini needs to be edited to remove the uname function. Alternatvely just hack the code by removing the condition above and setting $wgNodeName to the empty string. --Nad 21:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'm sorry I can't help you with finding the current version because I have only downloaded the dump without the old versions. But one hint: replace "AND old_text not like '%#REDIRECT%'" with "AND page_is_redirect=0". This should improve the performance significantly.

Optimizing for Mobile Phone

The chick skin which is one of the out-of-the-box skins is considered to be a minimal skin for use with low-resolution devices. --Nad 08:28, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice I changed the skin to chick but it's not exactly what I want because the skin is changed when I open the page on my mobile. I'd like to limit the count of characters so the pages won't be to big for downloading on the mobile. --Hfritschi 13:52, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I once submitted something similar as bugzilla:9711; maybe this is something more likely to be done on API. Tizio 14:51, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

It would be reasonably easy to modify a copy of an existing skin such as monobook to provide simpler output. If you have some knowlege of php you could, for example, make a function that would truncate the page after the first paragraph (before the table of contents). This usually gives quite a good summary of the page and would probably be small enough to be useful on a phone. --Rob 21:33, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Problems Installing Wiki on Godaddy Hosting

Hi i am new to mediawiki and have always wanted to install a wiki on my site but for the past few days i've been having quite a bit of errors with different versions of your installs i first downloaded 1.6 and it gave me an error saying the string was to long(1024) when inserting into mysql db then i downloaded 1.11(current version) it gave me the same error so finally i downloaded 1.9.3 then i received error saying incorrect php version(my hosting has 5) so i fixed that now i have the page successfully installed but when i click the link it provides after the install i get a blank white page http://wiki.clanska.net/index.php?title=Main_Page i know the php script is working because if you try just typing wiki.clanska.net it automatically puts in http://wiki.clanska.net/index.php?title=Main_Page has anyone else had this problem with there installing of the wiki on there godaddy hosting? —Idiot nation2000 14:57, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I just installed 1.0.11 on GoDaddy Economy/Linux (the cheapest shared hosting) a couple of days ago. It installed flawlessly the first time & everything seems to work fine (so far). So my thoughts are - why you're trying to install older versions, and did you remember to move the config/LocalSettings? 67.77.145.181 19:32, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Site logo only showing on EDIT pages. Does not appear when viewing page directly

Just did a fresh install. I have $wgLogo configured correctly, but it does not show on my pages when viewing them normally. It does however show when I go to edit a page. I am assuming this is an issue with some script path. Any suggestions? Thanks. --97.100.47.148 21:36, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

That's really odd - can you see a difference in the html source around the image in normal view compared to edit? or perhaps it's to do with JS being loaded in edit and not in normal view - the transparency fix in wikibits.js may be affecting it? --Nad 00:16, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Got the same problem. My problem was that I set the path to the logo relatively ( ./images/mylogo.png ). That won't work 'caus the URL changes between edit and view-mode. Just gave a explicit address ( http://myurl:port/images/mylogo.png ) and it worked. Hope that it's helpful for you. Mfg, Chris

Hi there,

I'm a newbie with wikimedia. I installed it described in the manual and it works fine. Now I have one problem. We want to use wikimedia in our intranet.

You can add the file:// protocol to $wgUrlProtocols but your browser will still not allow the links to work. You need to adjust the browser settings or add a plug-in, for example see the LocalLink extension for Firefox. --Nad 08:59, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I tried to use the expression {{#ifexist:}} to choose the svg image if it exists in commons and the local jpg if not, but i realized that this can't be done, it just can check wether a local page exists or not. Does anyone know if there is some way to do this check? I hope I have explained myself, if not just let me know. Thanks in advance. —Banjo 20:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Why's it a problem? as long as they're owned by the same user as php runs as it's the 7 that counts not the 44 or 55 or whatever. What's the actual problem that's occuring. It's strange though, all the mediawiki 1.11 code indicates that the image subdirectories are created with mode 777 so it must be some environment issue --Nad 19:54, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Well my directories are created with user: www and group: myusername. Permissions are set to 0755, so I (group: myusername) can't remove any directory manually. I can confirm that wfMkdirParents is called with mode 0777 but each directory is 0755. Is there another way to set permissions at least to 0775?

Any clues for me? :) Thanx. 81.208.83.224 14:20, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I have the same issues here - has this progressed any further? 138.251.148.101 12:17, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I just edited includes/GlobalFunctions.php and changed wfMkdirParents. In my 1.11.1 install it claimed to have "777" for a default but it doesn't actually work. You need to do a little trick with 'umask' around the actual mkdir call. Here's what I did. I replaced the 'return mkdir ...' line in that function with:

       $old_mask = umask(0);
       $val = mkdir( str_replace( '/', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $fullDir ), $mode, true );
       umask($old_mask);
       return $val;

This seems to have fixed it for me. Sk4p 15:12, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

PHP settings for regular expressions

I'm trying to create Belarusian Tarashkevitsa Cyrillic <-> Latin converter based on Crimean-Tatar converter written by AlefZet.

I tested it on XAMPP 1.6.3a (Apache HTTPD 2.2.4, MySQL 5.0.45, PHP 5.2.3) for WinXP with MediaWiki 1.11.0, but it's works incorrectly in cases where regular expressions with Cyrillic characters (UTF-8) are involved.

What is correct configuration of PHP (php.ini) must be for work of regular expressions with UTF-8 characters?

Thank you for help.

EugeneZelenko 03:18, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Are you using preg or ereg? preg will usually handle exotic features more robustly and also usually perform faster then the native PHP ones. --Nad 04:48, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Converter uses preg_replace. Regular expressions which works incorrectly are very simple ones like С[Ьь].

Accumulative. --Dr DBW | talk 00:25, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Hope someone else can verify this.....(Bug? or not eg.by design)

Hi guys. This is most likely by design, but I thought Id mention it.
I want to use the Extension ArticletoCategory, so when I go to a Category page, I can enter the name of a new page in a text box, and it threads in automatically, the Category name.
This works fine on its own.
However, I also use the Extension Preloader, and i have a 1 liner in the file Template:Boilerplate , which I attach to all pages created in the Main Namespace by default. It is __NEWSECTIONLINK__ . It looks like you cant use the Preloader and Template Boilerplate WITH the Extension ArticleToCategory. What happens is that if you try and create a new page FROM a Category page, and input the name of the new page, the Extension ArticleToCategory ceases to work, and the Category name is not automatically inserted into the new page's contents. Only the Preloader text is there. If someone else could verify this, or could tell me that you cant use Preloader with Extension ArticleToCategory, that would be great. I would also be great if you could use both together. Thank you.

allow registration only after confirmation by SYSOP

I wonder if it is possible to allow user registration only after confirmation/approvement by SYSOP. Couldn't find it anywhere. --82.113.113.81 09:32, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Create own Categories

Is it possible to create own Categories, so I can add pages to this "category"?

Example: I'm planning a wiki about books and want to allocate this book to an author, so I get a complete listing of all books from this author automatically. If I do this with a Category, the page has the name "Category:Name of the Author". My wish is, to get the name "Author:Name of the Author". Is there any way to do this?

Thanks for help -80.141.61.210 10:58, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Categories are a special namespace and there can't be multiple ones that work like that, you could change the textual name of NS_CATEGORY, but that would mean all categories would then be authors. A couple of ways which would work but are a bit of a hack are:

• Put {{DISPLAYTITLE:Author:{{PAGENAME}}}} in the author category to change its displayed title, then create corresponding article called "Author:xxxx" which redirect to the appropriate category.
• Create articles of the name Author:xxxxx which contain DPL queries of the form {{#dpl:category={{PAGENAME}}|mode=category}} which would then behave just like the category page would do.

Both methods should have the "Author" namespace added. --Nad 11:16, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Cannot Upload foto's it gives a Internal error....

I Cannot upload anything on my wiki. If i do that it gives this error.

Internal error

Could not create directory "public/e/ea".

I made the directory public in my wiki dir and chmod 777 on it. But still no succes. Please help me !

Thank you, Bombaci —83.80.25.69 12:22, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Make sure the directory is owned by the same user/group as the webserver, if still no luck you may find that PHP has been given restricted access in which case you can set $wgHashedUploadDirectory to false so that directories do not need to be created when uploading files. --Nad 20:59, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I ran into this same issue, and the solution was to make the wiki/images directory and its subdirectories writable. From the wiki directory run this command:

chmod 777 -R -f images

The public directory referred to in the error message is a bit of a red herring as it doesn't seem to exist before or after the file upload process. --rmanhammer 22:33, 21 November 2007 (EST)

I also had this problem. One of the directories under images/ was created by the apache daemon, with mode rwxr-sr--x. 192.35.44.24 16:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Auto Refreshing pages in Mediawiki

--89.128.5.80 16:03, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

The port 11211 which is referred to in the error is the one usually used by memcached, so you may have a sophisticated memory caching system setup for your session handling which is not supposed to be enabled (in which case the value for session.save_path would be something like /var/lib/php5 instead of tcp://172.17.1.138:11211), or is not configured properly. --Nad 05:23, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Editing of sections of multisection articles is impossible in my wiki. why? how to change?

When I try to alter a section of a multisection article in my wiki I only get an empty edit window but not with the text of the selected section. Please see the test entry on the link above.

What can I do to correct this?

Thanks a lot for your help!

—JB82 16:17, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

If you look at the URL of the secton-edit links you'll see that they're not correct, they have "?section=" instead of "&section=" (question-mark instead of ampersand). I don't know what may be the reason for that, but that's what needs to be fixed to get your section edit links working again. --Nad 05:21, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Problem with uselang

I created an Upload page in Vietnamese Wikipedia using another language, for example, uselang=vi-ownwork, I've changed MediaWiki:Licenses/vi-ownwork to show appropriate Licenses to choose, but as you can see here and here, it doesn't show exactly. Can you help? —Vinhtantran 11:55, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Unable to access article entitled C++

Hi, I wrote two articles entitled "C" and "C++", being articles relating to the two programming languages. When I tried to access "C++", the website returns "C". How can I access the article, "C++"? — PM Poon 18:44, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

The plus symbol translates to a space in URL encoding so you'll find that you can't type it directly in as a browser address, but if you create a link such as this, C++, you'll see it takes you to a percent-encoded version called "C%2B%2B". --Nad 21:40, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Problem with InputBox, type=search

Hello, I'm an administrator of an Italian wiki, part of Wikia project. I posted once a few weeks ago. I have a problem with the inputbox tag, but I think it's a kind of compatibility problem, rather that a bug in the extension. Let me explain:

I use inputbox for searching issues, I have to create a tool that searches words inside the Namespace "Forum:". I've read on the "Parameters" chapter of the help-page of Inputbox extension how to do this. On the example included on the page, I put a string ("foo" for example) and checked the "Help" namespace. I clicked, it produced the URL:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=foo&ns12=1&fulltext=Ricerca+nel+testo
And it showed me the occurrences in the namespace "Help:". Everything's ok.

So I put this code on my wiki:

<inputbox>
type=search
searchbuttonlabel=Cerca nel forum
break=no
namespaces=Forum
width=40
</inputbox>

I put the string "prova", I checked "Forum" namespace, I clicked, it produced the correct URL:
http://nonciclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Speciale:Ricerca?search=prova&ns110=1&fulltext=Cerca+nel+forum
BUT... it showed me the occurrences in the global namespace. Why in this wiki the same URL does work fine and in Wikia wikis does not?
