Thumbnails Not Working
I get an error for thumbnails: "Error creating thumbnail: sh: convert: command not found". My LocalSettings.php includes the line '$wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/local/bin/convert";' and this is the correct path for the convert executable. And it has execute privileges for all users.

[RESOLVED] Infoboxes
I'm experiencing a small problem with the infoboxes I created for my site, as they do not remain stuck to the right hand side of the screen when I minimize the window and, instead, they remain at the position defined in the code (so I have to scroll right in order to see them. Here is the code I edited for the infobox template header I am talking about: class="infobox vcard" style="border:1px solid #ccd2d9; width:25em; background-color:#fffccc; text-align:left; padding-left:0.5em; padding-right:0.5em; font-size:90%; margin:0 0 1em 68em;" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="1" Am I doing anything wrong? -SupervladiTM 07:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Labelled Map Template
Hi, I am trying to use Asia Labelled Map template from Wikipedia but the labels do not overlay exactly when I change the size of the map as in my website. The instruction for doing so is actually very simple, ie. all widths must be set to the same number, which I have already done accordingly. What could be the possible reason? Could be due to some Common.css scripts? &mdash; PM Poon 21:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Running:
 * MediaWiki: 1.11.0
 * PHP: 5.2.3-1ubuntu6.2 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 5.0.45-Debian_1ubuntu3-log

Works fine with Firefox on the local machine, or IE on a remote machine. However, Firefox on a remote machine asks me what I want to do with the PHP file when I ask for the index page, which it thinks is of the type application-xhttpd-php. I've added:

AddType text/html .php

AddType text/html .php5

To the mime.conf file of Apache2, it doesn't make any difference. Any suggestions?

—62.225.191.42 07:50, 5 December 2007 (UTC) HI there

I want to creat a wiki for my firm. What i want to do is, that normal users can read all pages like usual but some special sites are only available for Admins or another group that doesnt realy matter. I checked the Help:user rights but its not that what i want to enable read or edit for all of the usergroup i just want to disable it on special sites

thx for help -62.225.191.42 07:54, 5 December 2007 (UTC)


 * See Manual:Preventing access. You will notice that there isn't a good built-in function in MediaWiki for restricting access to specific pages. $wgWhitelistRead might get what you need (restrict access to all but a few pages). You could also try a page specific user rights extension. Note that MediaWiki was not designed to protect sensitive data, and there might be flaws which will still allow users to see pages. Also see security issues with authorization extensions. — color probe — Talk  — Contribs 11:45, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Different Syle - HowTo "install" on the server

Upload new version not working
I am using MediaWiki for an internal intranet wiki at work, but we have discovered that attempting to upload a new version of a file does not seem to be working - MediaWiki reports that it uploaded the file successfully, but the copy on the server is still the old one; MediaWiki does not replace the file with the new version.

DschosCalendar
Hello All. I recently installed MediaWiki on a SME server I have running. The installation went smoothly, and we already have users starting to play with it. However, I attempted to install the Dschos Calendar, I was unsuccessful. I created the DschosCalendar.php and calendar_template.html files using touch and pico as requested in the documentation below.

>Copy DschosCalendar.php and calendar_template.html into the extensions/ directory. Then, I attempted to follow the directions below. The first request went fine. When attempting to edit the "MediaWiki:Calendar-url" I found it did not exist. Do I just create it? That is what I tried, and the calendar still does not show up.

''>You might want to edit the sidebar: just edit the page MediaWiki:Sidebar, add a line '** calendar-url|calendar', then edit >the page MediaWiki:Calendar-url to contain just the string Special:Calendar, and the page MediaWiki:Calendar to contain just >the string Calendar. This will add the calendar to your navigation menu on the left side.''

Lastly, I attempted to follow the instructions below:

''>Changes to LocalSettings.php >require_once("$IP/extensions/DschosCalendar.php");''

Putting the line at the top of the script caused MW to crash. Puttin it under the existing "require_once" line also did not correct the problem.

If someonw would lead me in the correct direction, I'd gladly edit the install page to better assist non PHP programmers (like myself) to get this working.

 * Set $wgUseDatabaseMessages to true in your LocalSettings, then you can change any of the interface text messages directly from the wiki articles listed in your Special:Allmessages page. You can do this on a per-namespace basis by adding appropriate conditions into the wikitext of the message, eg

Link to a file or folder does not work
Hi,

I tried to link to an folder or file with html and wiki syntax. Both does not work. Here is what i tried:

With http all links are recognized but file seems not to be supported ?

Or is it somewhere hidden in the configuration?

Hi, to use html code, you need to enable your Rawhtml in your LocalSettings.php, but this will compromise security considerations. I have read somewhere that you can actually enable specific html codes by listing it one by one without enabling rawhtml. However, I cannot find the source now.

Manual:Backing up a wiki
It tells you how to back up the wiki, but where are the actual database files? Where are the files that contain all the wiki pages? PatPeter 19:44, 7 December 2007 (UTC)


 * You should not back up a wiki from the files because it makes the backup very unportable - ie you may have trouble if you try and restore the backup on a different version of mysql or even the same version with different environment settings. You should always backup from a mysqldump (or another program such as phpmyadmin which uses mysqldump for you). --Nad 21:59, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Well the page of the link that makes this thread title is very badly written, instead of having step-by-step instructions everything is written pretty randomly.

Remove display of redirects
Hi, whenever a page is accessed from a redirect, there is a display of it at the top of the page. How do I remove that? &mdash; PM Poon 01:31, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Just go to the page without using the redirect, its that simple. PatPeter 01:47, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for the reply. The problem with the display of the redirect is that it messes up my page layout and it looks very unsightly because it does not jiffed in with a few other changes that I have made. I believe that there must be a way, just like you can take away the words "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" at the top of each page in Wikipedia. &mdash; PM Poon 10:29, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The redirect is in a div with id="contentSub" so adding a css rule to your MediaWiki:Common.css saying #contentSub { display:none } will get rid of it. But there may also be other things that show up in the contentSub id which won't show up either, but I'm not sure. --Nad 21:55, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

'''Thank you very very much, Nad. That was perfect! How can this site everdo without you!!! &mdash; PM Poon 08:04, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

When editing in sysop mode, the browser downloads an index.php5 file containing no HTML
I'm running the latest version of MediaWiki (1.11.0) and whenever I click on the edit link as a sysop user, or even enter the url directly (http://www.xxx.org/wiki/index.php5?Title=Articles&action=edit), the browser downloads a file named index.php5 containing non HTML text like :

[Process] Type=Edit text Engine=MediaWiki Script=http://www.xxx.org/wiki/index.php5 Server=http://www.xxx.org Path=/wiki Special namespace=Special [File] Extension=wiki URL=http://www.xxx.org/wiki/index.php5?title=Articles&action=edit&internaledit=true

If I use the GET option &internaledit=true, I can view the edit page in the browser instead of downloading that file.

It does this only for my primary user, who's got edit and sysop rights. I bypassed the problem by creating another user with only edit rights, and using the internaledit option in the url when in sysop mode (to be able to edit items like the MediaWiki:Sidebar).

Any idea at how I can edit MediaWiki:Sidebar with the sysop user without having to add manually the internaledit option on the url ?

Category Links Defaulting to 'Edit' Mode
In the wiki I have set up for our organization, many (in fact most) of the category links which appear at the bottom of articles default to edit links for those category pages. This is a problem since none of our staff are clicking those links in order to edit them; they simply want to view the other content in that category. It is even a bigger problem for the public viewers of the content since they are not allowed to edit anything and it gives them a message about having to log in to edit a page when all they want to do is view content. Is there a way to fix this? I don't think I would ever need a category link to take me to an edit page.

Error in SpecialUpload.php (version 1.11)
If you want to upload files with extensions (for example: ggb for Geogebra a mathematical program) you have to include the extension in wgFileExtensions, but it does not work in version 1.11. This is because of an error in if( !$this->mStashed ) {

Use instead of the new lines, the old ones:

if( !$this->mStashed ) { $this->checkMacBinary; $veri = $this->verify( $this->mUploadTempName, $finalExt );

if( $veri !== true ) { //it's a wiki error... return $this->uploadError( $veri->toString ); }		}

Hi, I have the problem that I get an error message when trying to delete images from our wiki. It says: "Error deleting file: Could not create directory "deleted/5/t/w"." And the there is one long line with a message right in my wiki. It says that the permission is denied in a certain directory and ends with "...GlobalFunctions.php online 1670" Can anybody help me with that? My best, —Gollum 23:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Can you give a link to your wiki and the page that shows up when you try this?
 * Aside from that the image you are trying to delete is already deleted, you are viewing it as it was before it was deleted. PatPeter 23:27, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


 * http://en.wiki-products.org/Image:Error-message.png this is a link to a screen shot I took of the error message. I uploaded it to our wiki. Wow, this was instant help... Thanks! I appreciate that! But what do you mean with "the image you are trying to delete is already deleted"? My best --Gollum 23:59, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, I have found an interest in helping out at MediaWiki and will try to do so to the best of my ability.
 * At first I thought the error message meant that the image was already deleted and some glitch wanted you to delete a deleted image, but now I see that for some reason it can't access the files, you would have to contact your host, whoever has access to the files, and create the folder: images/deleted/5/t/w .
