Searching uploaded documents
Is there any kind of extension that allows for searches within uploaded documents? It would be very useful. I believe Google Desktop could be integrated somehow...

Extension:Google Custom Search Engine

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.0
 * PHP: 5.1.4 (cgi-fcgi)
 * MySQL: 5.0.45-log
 * Database: Unknown, if you know how to figure it out please tell me.
 * URL: Red Orchestra Wiki

Alright so how do I get this extension to work? I made the page as said here, but any search returns to the main page, I actually wanted it to look like Wikipedia, where you can choose between Google search and MediaWiki search on the SpecialSearch.php.

Crosswiki checkuser problem

 * MediaWiki: 1.11
 * PHP:
 * MySQL:
 * URL:

I'm running MediaWiki 1.11 on a webhost, got Makesysop, Makebot and a few more extensions running. Checkuser works, but isn't actually doing a crosswiki log in the format:
 * 127.0.0.1 FooBar got IPs for TestingUser on wiki1
 * 127.0.0.1 FooBar got IPs for User2 on theotherwiki

Anyone know how to fix it?? —Whitsun 21:52, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * What is it doing? I'd need more info. Aaron 06:13, 2 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I couldn't install it via command-prompt on my webhost, so just copied the files from SVN to my website - http://sunstarnet.quotaless.com/testwiki and although it lets me do checkuser, it doesn't log properly. If you register an account I'll give you checkuser privileges so you can see what I mean. I can't get it to do a checkuser log that's cross-wiki like on Wikimedia's, e.g User:Testuser@enwiki got IPs for Testuser1 User:Testuser2@fpwiki got users for 127.0.0.1 Thanks, --82.42.237.84 19:48, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * "doesn't log properly"? As in gives errors or as in a local-only log. As of recently, the log was redone to use the database, but for the moment (due to complexities with global DBs) it is local-only. This is true even on WMF sites now. Aaron 20:48, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * A bit of both actually. For some reason my host doesn't allow command-line stuff (well, not that I know of for quotaless.com), so it is hard. As for WMF sites, well, thanks for the note. So when a steward views the checkuser log on Meta or here for example, the log they see is only for this wiki?? --82.42.237.84 19:38, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

onclick event overwritten by checkboxClickHandler in my extension form

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.2
 * PHP: 5.2.3 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 4.1.21-standard
 * URL: Title

I have created an extension with a form in it. The form has a checkbox with an onclick event set to call a javascript function. The function is never called. I have traced the problem to the wikibits.js file where all input tags of type checkbox have the onclick event set to checkboxClickHandler. Is there anyway to turn this off, to not have my onclick overwritten? This site is on my local machine and is not available to the outside. I do not have the same problem with our 1.8.x installation of mediawiki.

I added the following to wikibits.js to the addCheckboxClickHandlers function:

if ( !cb.type || cb.type.toLowerCase != 'checkbox' ) continue; + if ( cb.onclick ) +        continue; var end = checkboxes.length;

And the problem goes away, but not sure if this breaks anything else.

Protect a namespace

 * MediaWiki: 1.12.0
 * PHP: 5.2.0-8+etch10 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch5-log
 * URL: http://demorecht.de/wiki

I like to create a Namespace which only registered users can access and edit. I tried serveral ways, but nothing worked ;) The last one was to install "NameSpacePermissions" as an extension. I added this code to my Localsettings.conf :

$wgExtraNamespaces = array(100 => "intern", 101 => "Intern_Talk" );

$wgNonincludableNamespaces[] = NS_INTERN; require_once("extensions/NamespacePermissions.php"); $wgGroupPermissions['*']['ns100_read']=false; wgGroupPermissions['*']['ns101_read']=false;

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['ns100_read']=true; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['ns100_edit']=true; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['ns100_create']=true;

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['ns101_read']=true; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['ns101_edit']=true; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['ns101_create']=true;

Does anybody have an idea how to
 * disable read-access for anonymous to "intern"?
 * enable read+write access for all registered users for "intern" ?

With the settings above, it looks like anonymous users can not edit them but still view them. I know these settings are working in another mediawiki-installation (1.11.) so it might have something to do with the version 1.12.0 ?

dumpHTML extensions - cscript error

Hallo, We are using MediaWiki 1.12.0 (Windows XP, PHP 5.2.1, MySQL 5.037). When we try to make a simple HTML-dump of our MediaWiki installation, we get this error-message: "Der Befehl 'cscript' ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden." (Command 'cscript' is either written wrong or could not be found). The offline-version of our Wiki seems to be fine - but we can neither use the left-side links (bar) nor links to pages, which use special characters (Umlaute). Maybe this might be of interest: Our online-version uses utf-8, so we had to set in LocalSettings.php "# Experimental charset support for MySQL 4.1/5.0. $wgDBmysql5 = true;" Has anybody an idea, what we do wrong?

I've installed MediaWiki 1.11.0 and was trying to implement a security extention to prevent a user from viewing restricted pages. I tried using the PageSecurity, but when I implement the site won't display.

Thanks,

Melissa —74.167.174.223 19:25, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


 * For an entire namespace, perhaps $wgNamespaceProtection will help you. For an individual page, you can log in as an administrator or user with enough rights and protect the page using the "protect" action tab. Smaug  [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]] 19:33, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Does this mean that the setting below would keep everyone but 'root' from editing the mentioned NS?

$wgGroupPermissions['root']['editroot'] = true; $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_MAIN]    = $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_USER]  = $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_PROJECT] = $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_IMAGE] = $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_TEMPLATE] = $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_HELP] = $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_CATEGORY] = array( 'editroot' );

I'm reading up on the $wgNamespaceProtection, it should work.... but when you connect to the Wiki how to you save pages to a set NS? Thx, Melissa


 * Seems like it should work. To edit pages in those namespaces then, as you have written the code, you would have to log in as a user in the "root" group.  Try it out. <font color="#006500">Smaug  [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]] 18:27, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Are you saying that I much create custom pages to utilize additional namespaces? I'm new to MediaWiki and trying to understand how this works. I've assigned the user to the group/namespace. Im trying to locate the data in the database to show which namespace is being used. Melissa

Working in a symlinked tree

 * MediaWiki: 1.12.0
 * PHP: 5.2.4-2ubuntu5 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5
 * URL: private (RFC 1918)

My installation structure is something like this (names changed for simplicity):


 * ~/source</tt> - the original MediaWiki source
 * ~/base</tt> - created with lndir</tt>(1), symlinks to the source to make upgrades easier
 * ~/web/wikin</tt> - the live installations

Any source hacks are done by copying files into base</tt>, also storing diffs in there. Extensions are also stored in base</tt>. Each wiki setup holds its own LocalSettings.php</tt> and its own images (for now). With this model, upgrading has previously proved to be quick and easy, with little fuss. (I can write some more about this is people are interested)

While trying to install Extension:CheckUser to one of the wikis, I get the following message: A copy of your installation's LocalSettings.php must exist and be readable in the source directory. Presumably, this means it's looking in the source</tt> rather than the live install for it. Is there any workaround to manually dropping each LocalSettings.php</tt> into the root of my source tree, such as overriding the lookup paths it uses? t.i.a.

Inputbox Search Always Includes Main

 * MediaWiki: 1.12.0
 * PHP: 5.1.6 (cgi-fcgi)
 * MySQL: 5.0.27
 * URL: Internal Network - Unavailable

The Inputbox extension alway includes the Main namespace even when it is unchecked.

The end of the URL that inputbox generates for the results page looks like:

../index.php?search=blast&ns100=1&fulltext=searchx

A search from the main page search box that successfully searches only namespace 100 looks like:

../index.php?ns100=1&search=blast&searchx=Search

problem with #tag: in a 1.11 to 1.12 upgrade

 * MediaWiki: (Reported by your Wiki's Special:Version page)
 * PHP:
 * MySQL:
 * URL:

i was using the #tag parserFunction in 1.11 with attributes on the same line, but the content spanning multiple lines....

in 1.12, where #tag is built-in, the 'mytag' extension i wrote only receives 'someattr' as its input.

if i omit 'someattr', however, the 'mytag' extension does see all of the content lines.

similarly, i have another tag which is invoked as....

in which the tag only receives 'someattr=value' -- but as the "content" of the tag, not one of its attributes.

in both cases, the presence of an attribute seems to cause things to fail, with the attribute becoming the content and the content being ignored.

There may be a bug in CoreParserFunctions.php, line 235 of the mediawiki-1.12.0 bundles

if ( count( $args ) ) { $inner = $frame->expand( array_pop( $args ) ); } else { $inner = null; }

I substituted array_pop for array_shift, to retrieve the last (not first) item; this now faithfully reproduces the behavior of the #tag extension in 1.11.

i would assume we're interested in "backward-compatibility" for the #tag extension; otherwise, i have lots of editing to do in my documents!!!

 * See Command line interface to find out about command line in general. Assuming you are a Windows user and your server is Unix-like, you should download PuTTY remote shell client and use it to connect to your server through SSH. Once you have opened the connection, type cd your wiki directory/extensions/SocialProfile</tt> in PuTTY and then type php install.php</tt>. If all this seems a bit too complicated, you can alternatively run the required SQL queries through phpMyAdmin interface.


 * The "error" you reported is not an error to be exact, but rather a PHP notice. In most servers, PHP notices are disabled. You should be able to turn off error reporting by adding the following piece of code into your wiki's LocalSettings.php: error_reporting(0);</tt>


 * In any case, the PHP notices mentioned above will be fixed in SocialProfile version 1.2. which will hopefully be released in near future.


 * And at least in the case of SocialProfile extension, you are more likely to get an answer on Extension talk:SocialProfile (where you initally posted this question) rather than here. -- Sayuri 20:47, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Okay, but why do I need to connect through an SSH? I can access everything on my domain. Is there some place to get the SQL query so I can just do it manually through phpMyAdmin? I looked at the file and it's not written in a way I'm use to seeing.

decimal separators in parsing on European Wikis

 * MediaWiki: 1.13.0
 * PHP: 5.1.6 (apache2filter)
 * MySQL: 4.1.20
 * URL: http://de.wiki-products.org/

In many European countries/languages we use "," instead of "." as decimal separators in numbers. We write 10,4 kg instead of 10.4 kg. Now, this is problematic because the mediawiki parser functions don't respect this conventions and return errors on numbers with commas. This alone wouldn't be a problem, if we could adopt our whole wiki to the US convention (writing all numbers with "." instead of ","). However, this is impossible because other extensions (like semantic mediawiki) respect the European convention and adopt their calculations according to the language to which the wiki is configured. Semantic Mediawiki, installed on a German Wiki, therefore cannot handle numbers with "." as decimal separator. This is a big problem because we need both extensions on our wiki. The best solution would therefore be to find a way to make parser functions handle numbers with ",". Is there a way to do so?

This would solve many problems for us...

Problems with CentralNotice from MediaWiki subversion repository

 * MediaWiki version: 1.14alpha
 * PHP version: 5.2.0-8+etch11 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.32
 * Extension:CentralNotice: (Version r36357)

Main and extensions are trunk of MediaWiki subversion repository.

As of 2008-09, the extension that is present in subversion causes significant page load problems. This is most likely by including a call to a third-site JavaScript, which does not load. Page source of pages generated when the extension is enabled, includes:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://smorgasbord.local/trunk/index.php/Special:NoticeLoader">

This call is not present on the Wikipedia site itself. On en.wikipedia, CentralNotice is given as the same version: (Version r36357). However, the results seems to be different.

Hello support-desk,

I recently installed the SpecialTaskList-extension and the dependend extensions DynamicPageList and ParserFunctions.

After that, i wasn't able to connect to my wiki mainpage (every other mediawiki site works fine). I got an "Page can not be displayed"-error.

If I comment the DynamicPageList-extension in the LocalSettings.php everything seems to work fine except the tasklist (because DPL is needed).

How can I reactivate the DPL extension without getting this error? Maybe ther is a configuration faillure... I have made no changes to the extension.

I've just deployed MediaWiki for the new Wiki above. I'd like to add the ConfirmAccount extension but before deploying it I've been testing it on my local site.

On the test site, the system allows a new user to request an account and successfully sends an e-mail to the new user. When the user click the link, or pastes it into a browser, a page appears with this message:

Invalid confirmation code. The code may have expired.

The wiki works well otherwise. What am I overlooking? I don't want to try deploying this to the main site until I get it working on my test site. I notice that the MediaWiki version is different for the two sites. I've checked that the ConfirmAccount extension version is correct for the application. Could that be the problem, and maybe the main site will work without a problem?

I have installed Cite on a Joomla 1 site with the mediawiki version as stated above. It does not work. I have followed the instructions in regards to putting the require once line on the LocalSettings.php page. First I got an error message saying that the class could not be found. The class is not on the Cite.php page but is on the Cite_body.php page. If you put the class onto the Cite.php page you don't get the error message but still the references do not appear. You see the text between the tags but not a footnote as should appear. Do you have any ideas on this?

Here is a link to a test page on the wiki page of this website: http://mystic.inibap.org/joomla/karen/joomla_1/index.php?option=com_mambowiki&Itemid=203
