Installing extensions – Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by... [German]

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.2

 * MySQL version: 5.2.2 (apache2handler)
 * URL: Intranet

Hallo, ich bin leider nur dem Deutschen oder Französischen mächtig. Vielleicht kann mir trotzdem jemand helfen! Also: ich brauche ein Extension, mit dem ich Artikel oder Kategorien schützen kann. Ich hab auch genügend Extensions hier gefunden. Aber egal welche Extension ich installier, bekomme ich IMMER diese Fehlermeldung: Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\MinjusWiki\LocalSettings.php:1) in C:\xampp\htdocs\MinjusWiki\includes\WebResponse.php on line 10

Kann das vielleicht daran liegen, dass ich eine anderssprachige Media-Wiki-Version (luxemburgisch) habe? vielen dank im vorraus, --JimHawk 13:06, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

automatically generate a list of keywords

 * MediaWiki version:
 * PHP version:
 * MySQL version:
 * URL:

I have no Wiki yet - but I would like to.

Based on the latest Wiki version I have one question:

Is it possible to generate a list of keywords? I would like to have a special page with (more or less) detailed information where I find content to my keyword (like an index) inside my wiki. When you search for a article you get detailed information for the typed word. But I would like to have a printable overview about the keywords - so that I can print out the complete wiki and have a directory/indices-list

I would like to mark words inside the article (like: cost center ) and the Special page generates automatically an alphabetical list like (KEYWORD: ARTICLE Header - Place inside article)

e.G.:
 * Cost Center
 * Organisation - 10.3 Organisation Forms
 * Business - 7.5.11 Center Forms

FCKEditor integration fails with current SVN MediaWiki 1.14 rev. 43724

 * MediaWiki: 1.14alpha
 * PHP: 	5.2.0-8+etch13 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 	5.0.32-Debian_7etch8-log
 * URL: http://160.45.63.55/test/Main_Page ; this page is ok, but an error occurs when clicking on edit (we have no anonymous access, however).

The integration of FCK was attempted with an up-to-date MediaWiki and following the instructions. A record of the attempts is openly available. About the documentation: Note that there is some confusion with the extension already checked out in MediaWiki extensions, which is marked BROKEN and was not used. Or should it be?) The error message is:

Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to Skin::setupUserCss must be an instance of OutputPage, none given, called in /usr/share/mediawiki/FCKeditor/FCKeditor.body.php on line 341 and defined in /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/includes/Skin.php on line 560

See also http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:FCKeditor_(by_FCKeditor_and_Wikia)#Not_Working_1.14_r40286 for same error experienced by another user several months ago. Any help or experience with this?

Local authentication on Linux, NIS

 * MediaWiki version
 * MediaWiki 	1.13.2
 * PHP 	5.1.6 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL 	5.0.45

I am trying to find an extension that will allow me to use local authentication on the linux server to authenticate users.

I use NIS on the Linux cluster and I'd like to have the option of using my NIS users edit the wiki.

I'd like to have the NIS groups be setup to control the access and editing of the wiki.

I think I can use Active Directory, but that is not what I need to do in this case.

On google there is a UnixLocalAuth.php extension, but I cannot find anywhere to download it.

Using the Boilerplate extension - Help needed.

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.5 (cgi)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.45-community-log
 * URL: http://www.jefferson-wiki.com/wiki/

I am trying to start a new wiki and need to give our users a predefined form to help them begin to add content to our wiki. Other wiki's use scaffolds to help build a new wiki. It helps to give new users some structure to help them build a new wiki. The closest thing I could find on MediaWiki is the Boilerplate. It is supposed to let the admin give the users some predefined text for the wiki to help them get started. I am very new to this and am running into problems. I need some help!

I am seeking information on the use of the Boilerplate extension. I have followed the instructions and have copied the code from Boilerplate.php to the extensions directory. However, where should the Boilerplate file be located and what are the contents of the file?

In the instructions it says:

Step 3: Create a page named Boilerplate on your MediaWiki site. Whatever is included in this Boilerplate page will serve as the default template for any new pages created on your site.

But they do not give any details on where the file should go. How to I point to the file? What is the text of the Boilerplate file look like? If someone can show me the syntax of the file contents and how to use them to create a form for the user to fill in when creating a new article that is exactly what I need. An example Biolerplate file would be even better. Does anyone have an example of a site that uses the Boilerplate that would be good too.

Thanks, Steve

Please send any help you can provide to me at duffsb @ comcast.net

DPL-Error: Illegal mix of collations ... for operation 'concat' (localhost)

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.2
 * PHP version: 5.2.2
 * MySQL version: 5.0.41
 * URL: localhost

Hallo,

I try to use the DPL extension. So I installed it and as an exampled I typed the following code:

 category = Management 

The result was this error message:

The DPL extension (version 1.7.4) produced a SQL-statement which lead to a Database error... After the SQL-statement the Error message is shown:

The error message is: Illegal mix of collations (utf8_general_ci ...) for operation 'concat' (localhost).

Do I have to change any settings in my database? Or do you have any idea?

Thank you for your endeavors.

Extension:Farmer and transwiki problems

 * MediaWiki version: SVN build
 * PHP version: 5.26
 * MySQL version:
 * URL: Localhost

I installed Farmer, and it shows the special page - as it should do, but it won't let me create the wikis.

This is from my LocalSettings.php file: $wgSharedTables = array( 'user' => $sharedPrefix . 'user', 'user_groups' => $sharedPrefix . 'user_groups', 'interwiki' => $sharedPrefix . 'interwiki', 'math' => $sharedPrefix . 'math', );

require_once( 'extensions/ExtensionFunctions.php' ); require_once( 'farmer/Farmer.php' );

/* We use the internal _matchByURLHostname function to find the wiki name */ $wgFarmerSettings['wikiIdentifierFunction'] = array('MediaWikiFarmer', '_matchByURLHostname'); $wgFarmerSettings['dbAdminUser'] = 'root'; $wgFarmerSettings['dbAdminPassword'] = 'west'; $wgFarmerSettings['dbTablePrefixSeparator'] = '_-_'; $wgFarmerSettings['newDbSourceFile'] = realpath(dirname(__FILE__)). '/extensions/farmer/daughterwiki.sql';

$wgFarmerSettings = array( 'configDirectory' => realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/configs/', 'defaultWiki' => 'autowiki1', 'wikiIdentifierFunction' => array('MediaWikiFarmer', '_matchByURLHostname'), 'matchRegExp' => '', 'matchOffset' => null, 'matchServerNameSuffix' => 'localhost',

 * These should really go in the initialize function, but MediaWiki initializes
 * $wgUser before the extensions are initialized. Seems like weird behavior,
 * but OK.

$wgFarmer = new MediaWikiFarmer($wgFarmerSettings); $wgFarmer->run; Whenever I try to run Special:Farmer this error occurs: Fatal error: Call to undefined function wfmsghtml in C:\xampp\htdocs\autowiki1\Farmer\MediaWikiFarmer.php on line 112

Also, when I try to transwiki some Wikimedia files with large page histories, this notice happens:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 120 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\htdocs\autowiki1\includes\StringUtils.php on line 126

Anyone know how to fix this??

RSS feeds

Hi,

I have a requirement withing organisation to have RSS feed enabled for some pages i create. For example say one user is creating a page called 'Sales plan'. Now users who are interested in knowing updates happening to that page only should be able to add a RSS feed for updates of this "Sales Plan" page alone. The recent changes function for RSS/Atom feed gives feed xml every time a change is made to "any" page. What ever i have mentioned is it possible to do any extention or feature list of Mediwiki. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Problem with Wgraph extension output not rendered by MediaWiki

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.3
 * PHP version:  	5.2.6 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.67
 * URL: n/a but the exact same problem can be seen on bottom of http://s23.org/wiki/Sandbox

Installed Wgraph extension. The images get produced ( confirmed ), however on the wiki page I can see only 

(made with Wgraph)

Tried to put $wgRawHtml = true in LocalSettings.php but this didn't change anything.

Solution: There is a problem with the way Wgraph inserts it's HTML output. To correct it, in your Wgraph.php file, find the lines global $wgRawHtml; $wgRawHtml = true; and comment them out for security reasons. Then find the line: return $result; //. $wgraph. ":". $thumbResolution ."/".$resolution. ', '.$clipThumb. '---'. $clipImg; and replace it with

return array( $result, noparse => true, isHTML => true ); More information on why this works can be found on http://jimbojw.com/wiki/index.php?title=Raw_HTML_Output_from_a_MediaWiki_Parser_Function

Problem with sysop/bureaucrat permissions after creating account with UserLoadFromSession hook
Apologies for the length of this post, but I'm utterly stymied after working on this for ages.
 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.0
 * PHP version: 5.2.6 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.67
 * URL: http://ntm-igdev02.nott.ime.reuters.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page (internal)

I am setting up 1.13.0 as a new system and will soon (I hope!) be migrating the content from an older version to it. This migration includes using our company SSO and I've successfully used the UserLoadFromSession hook to implement this. However, there is one glitch: I currently have two IDs, one original one (SS) for use without the hook and another (Sam.Sexton) that was created and is authenticated by the hook. Both of these are assigned as Sysop and Bureaucrat, but these permissions are only effective for the original user (SS) - as the other one (Sam.Sexton), I don't see the restricted special pages.

(first | last) View (previous 50) (next 50) (20 | 50 | 100 | 250 | 500)


 * SS ?(bureaucrat, sysop)
 * Sam.Sexton ?(bureaucrat, sysop)
 * WikiSysop ?(bureaucrat, sysop)

(first | last) View (previous 50) (next 50) (20 | 50 | 100 | 250 | 500)

I have made the following observations and investigations.


 * 1) The database records I create with the hook differ from the original (SS) record in that:
 * 2) user_touched is initially nulls (\0\0\0 rather than NULL) despite my setting it - but this is corrected by later activity.
 * 3) user_email_token and user_email_token_expires for Sam.Sexton are NULL, but I've copied values from SS and that made no difference.

I've looked at Skin.php and added this hack to see what was going on:

/* Hack to see what's going on. Sam 090108 */ wfDebugBacktrace; $rpages = SpecialPage::getRestrictedPages; wfDebug("Restricted pages for $wgUser->mName\n"); foreach ( $rpages as $rpage) { wfDebug(" $rpage\n"); }		/* end hack */


 * but nothing was added to the debug file, which is receiving other debug info.


 * I have even resorted to running truss on navigating to Special Pages as both users. There was a rather curious difference between the two - the one for Sam.Sexton (created with the hook) contained several calls to resolvepath that weren't in the truss for SS. This relates to symbolic link resolution - not unreasonably, as htdocs/wiki is a link to the files in my home dir for easy maintenance - and I've not seen any problems related to that arrangement. However, as I didn't get those calls for SS, I copied the files so that the link was removed and all files native - but that made no difference.


 * My suspicions are that there's something I'm missing in the new account creation process, but for the life of me I can't see what! I suspect that there must be another criterion other than sysop/bureaucrat group membership required to see the restricted pages, but it's escaped my investigations so far. I'd be grateful for any illumination or suggestions on what else to check. Below is the code for the hook and a sample of the log for the db entry creation. Thanks in advance! Any constructive comments on the code will be welcomed - this is not an area in which I am overburdened with experience! ;-)

Formatting problem after installing extensions
Product Version MediaWiki 1.14alpha (r45489) PHP 5.2.4-2ubuntu5wm1 (apache2handler) MySQL 4.0.40-wikimedia-log
 * URL: http://www.trialworks.com/wiki

After I install certain extensions, such as: require_once("extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.php"); require_once("$IP/extensions/embed_document.php");

The font's all over the Wiki site appear bigger, affecting formatting. It's almost as if someone zoomed in to 125% size. If I add '#' to those lines it stops them from working, and returns to the layout to normal.

Not quite sure what keywords to search to even figure out what it may be. This is my first experience with MediaWiki.
