Email notice at user registration / Customization of registration form

Hi Aaron,

I successfully added ConfirmAccount to my MediaWiki installations - thanks for that. But I have three questions:

  • Can I as the administrator get an email notification when someone registers? It happens very unfrequently, so I won't check very often, but if someone registers, I don't want him to wait for confirmation.
  • Can I customize the registration form content? I don't need all the sections, they will only confuse the users, it will be sufficient to only have user name, email and maybe the bio.
  • Can I let the user choose his password right at the registrarion instead of generating one for him and asking him to change it?

Thanks, Alex

Request for username usurpation

Hi there, I was wondering if you could help me out with usurping the username Entropy on mediawiki.org as part of my SUL. I have provided confirmation that I'm the owner of this account on en.wikipedia.org here. My justification for usurping this username is that the user with this username here has only one contribution dating back to 2007. Thanks!

Was this handled?

Aaron08:42, 13 January 2012

No, it's not been handled yet.

Library for SVG diagrams

Poking around SVN I noticed that you seem to have evaluated some libraries for SVG graphs and diagrams. For bug 27156, I'm looking for a library that is able to or can be extended to produce timelines, include links and produce parallel PNG output with an HTML map. Have you written down your findings somewhere?

Tim Landscheidt18:22, 5 January 2012

I don't think so...and it's been a while. I only looked around when doing the old ReaderFeedback extension.

Aaron18:52, 5 January 2012

Thanks, I'll search some more :-).

Mediawiki as a CMS

Hi Mr Schulz

I'm Dr Jean-Guy Levreault, in Québec, I'm a clinician seeing patient but also in the medical team of a clinical laboratory. We have procedures, prodedureS with a capital S because we have so many of them Maintaning the body of text as been challenging

We are using a homemade system that tracks versions of text, list of required reading, a log of done readings, scheduled documents updates

I've created it and it works fine but, but...

  • Editing is restricted to assigned reviewers
  • No support for content re-use
  • No statistics

I think mediawiki can fill those missing requirements, mediawiki was build upon democratic editing, we need that. But we also need structured readings and logs

So here is my problem (finally got to the point)

Versionning of templates in a page

With the "freeze" option the templates are loaded at the version approved, that would be the ideal configuration, but there is no special page that gather documents with templates in need of reviewing. In case of multiple templates updating there is no way to accept one update and leave the rest unchanged. I also don't know how to keep records of the update, if I understand correctly your extensions does not create a new version of the container page but simply updates the database for the new templates id.

I understand completely that Wikipedia is living in a different ecology than our future wiki, they have no "slow" time to do expensive database update as we do

Do I understand the current state well? Do you have plans for a new version of FlaggedRevs, will it change the way it handles templates updates?

Thanks a lot Of course if we can come up with code to do what we need we will make it open source

Levreauj22:16, 13 November 2011

I may add an option to list pages that only have templates/files needing review. There are not plans for anything else though.

Also, why not just add $wgFlaggedRevsHandleIncludes = FR_INCLUDES_STABLE?

Confirm Account extension does not seem to be working with MediaWiki 1.18

It stopped working on two wikis I recently updated. I also left a message at the support desk about it.

Bawolf seems to have responded already.

sqlite3 and ConfirmAccount

Hi Aaron,

I am running into a problem with setting up ConfirmAccount with sqlite3. I want to verify your instructions in the FAQ section. The first step is to modify the ConfirmAccount.sql with the SQL for SQLite (Extension talk:ConfirmAccount#Got it working with SQLite). Do I run update.php after making that change?

SQLite3 PHP 5.3.8 MediaWiki 1.17

Dlw17:29, 17 October 2011

I believe so.

ConfirmAccount doesn't work on my mediawiki

Hi, Aaron. I was using ConfirmAccount on a MediaWiki instance and it worked great until we upgraded to 1.17. Now it causes errors that are very strange. For example, when I try to log in, I get this error:


Fatal error: Call to undefined method OutputPage::addModules() in /home/wiki//extensions/ConfirmAccount/presentation/ConfirmAccountUI.hooks.php on line 40

Any thoughts?

http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/branches/REL1_17/phase3/includes/OutputPage.php?revision=89676&view=markup

The function is there. Make sure you svn up to the latest version of 1.17.
