(RESOLVED) TOC not redirecting properly
I'm getting a wrong redirect for the TOC. IF there's an heading called "Story" the link should be http://www.domainsite.ext/article#STORY but the links redirect on http://www.domainsite.ext/#STORY, without "article" so the browser is redirected to the home page!!!

I think it's an hosting problem, How can I fix this? Thanks in advance! --Lorenzone92

 * Someone on your wiki edited a page wrong, it is either a system file or a MediaWiki file that defines how the ToC displays. Do you have access to your wiki's system files and MediaWiki files? Ask all your admins who have the same permissions if they did anything. -PatPeter, MediaWiki Support Team  23:27, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi there I try to develop a little MediaWiki for some friends. They requested an additional Sidebar on the right side. General question: - is this possible? - I guess so...

 * Thanks for your hint. Actually my skills writing CSS are low (sorry for that). So can you please give me more help concerning the code?
 * I read some CSS help :). Is it right, that I have to add in common.css some lines starting #rightcolumn {float:right etc} If this first thought is ok, then how to tell the code that there should be some Information in it (the right column)? Normally there is some html code e.g. text but even if I add this div tag to monobook.php I don't know how to add a WikiText into it... Hope you can understand my problems. Have a nice weekend.
 * Ok I found a possibility to insert a Wikitext into a div tag. Now the (last) problem is the Position. I added my div Container in monobook.php at several places. None of them was ok. Someone knows where exactly (after/before which lines) I have to add my code?. Or is it the wrong way?

(OUTDATED) LDAP Groups in Wiki

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.1
 * PHP: 5.2.5
 * MySQL: 5.0.45

The issue we are having pertains to group access in the wiki. The code that we have lets users log in with there LDAP credentials; which is what we want. We want everyone who has a logon for our domain to have access to the information. The part that we can't get to work is we only want one group in AD to be able to edit the information on the wiki. As it stands anyone that can sign in can edit and add pages. This is the code that we are currently using. We are all new PHP so some of the code may be incorrect.

We have commented out $wgLDAPRequiredGroups, it makes the code fail when we let it run.

(RESOLVED) Highly Available Wiki System

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.1 (latest)
 * PHP: 5
 * MySQL: 5.0
 * URL: (internal)

I am trying to use loadbalancing to create a highly available Wiki system. My idea is to have the wiki write to a master and read from a slave. This way, when the master fails, it can still keep on reading of the slave.

I edited the setup.php and DefaultSettings.php and added the correct values to use multiple servers, but when the master goes down, it doesn't read from the slave, it keeps on trying to go to the master...

Thanks in advance !

EDIT: It seems that when the master is up, the wiki IS conneting to the slave... Problem is that when the master goes down, the wiki crashes (which it shouldn't, it should just read from the slave)

—213.193.161.137 13:25, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * See Category:Database variables and particularly Manual:$wgDBservers. Try connecting to your slave server manually and test if it contains the proper data etc. Also it's bad practice to change codebase files, you should do all configuration from LocalSettings.php. --Nad 21:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply ! Well, I followed the manual of wgDBservers, and edited the values that are there ! When I manually connect, the slave responds and all of the data that should be there, is there :-)


 * If the slave is synchronising ok, then I don't know. All I can suggest is to analyse what's happening when it crashes. I.e are there any errors logged? is it timing out? etc --Nad 22:55, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, I took the following steps:
 * Edited the files according to the manual (change $wgDBservers to true and added the server to the server array).
 * Set up a MySQL-master-slave replication (outside of MediaWiki, or is MediaWiki supposed to do this itself?)

Also, the slave IS NOT down, MediaWiki just doesn't seem to want to connect to it when the master goes down... I now put the following code in the LocalSettings.php and restored the other files to default...

When I put the master down, I get the following errorcode:

"Lost connection to MySQLServer during query (192.168.2.150))"

Thanks for your interest btw :) --IP


 * I believe that MediaWiki still needs to write (such as page hits) this means that even though it is reading data from the DB... when it tries to write you page hit (or other data) it fails because it can not find your Write Database

(OUTDATED) Category page, contents breakdown
Cripes - what a load of text to wade through just to make a help desk request! I don't think any of it was relevant, so I deleted it all.

Here is my (version and platform independent) problem;

By default, pages in a category are broken down by the first letter of the page title (or the first letter of the category index) on the page for the category. i.e.

A A page A page by any other name Another page Annex All pages B Because Become By the way ...

To change that behaviour, for example to break down pages by the first two letters of the page title (or the category index), i.e.

A A page A page by any other name An Another page Annex Al All pages Be Because Become By By the way ...

Should I,


 * 1) Add a magic word to the category page,
 * 2) tweek a global parameter setting somewhere,
 * 3) install an extension,
 * 4) hack the source code,
 * 5) all of the above?

Thanks for help ppl. --Dmb 08:31, 19 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Well dude, you could hack the 'firstChar' function in ./languages/Language.php - it seems that the only code to use this function is exactly the call under ./includes/CategoryPage.php that you want to hack. Try to substitute this code, and you will see double character category indexing;

/**	 * Get the first character of a string. *	 * @param string $s * @return string */	function firstChar( $s ) { $matches = array; preg_match( '/^([\x00-\x7f]|[\xc0-\xdf][\x80-\xbf]|'. '[\xe0-\xef][\x80-\xbf]{2}|[\xf0-\xf7][\x80-\xbf]{3})([\x00-\x7f]|[\xc0-\xdf][\x80-\xbf]|'. '[\xe0-\xef][\x80-\xbf]{2}|[\xf0-\xf7][\x80-\xbf]{3})/', $s, $matches);

return isset( $matches[1] ) ? $matches[1]. $matches[2] : ""; }

Of course you should probably rename that function, and add an option to activate this behaviour somehow. --Dmb 13:19, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, now I have renamed the above function 'firstTwoChar' (keeping firstChar as it was). The relevant line to edit in ./includes/CategoryPage.php is within the addPage function ...

$this->articles_start_char[] = $wgContLang->convert( $wgContLang->firstTwoChar( $sortkey ) );

Now we need to call that selectively in response to some option... Suggestions? --Dmb 13:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

 * You should never adjust the codebase files, set your logo using the Manual:$wgLogo global in the LocalSettings.php file. Do not adjust DefaultSettings.php or rename image files from the codebase. --Nad 22:02, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Dropping $wgLogo = "/images/b/bc/Wiki.png"; into LocalSettings.php may be easiest; this allows you to upload Image:Wiki.png to the wiki as just another image. --Carlb 01:26, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Just installed v1.11.1 on Windows 2003, PHP 5.2 and MySQL at www.theearthwitch.com as a personal knowledge dump. Trying to lock it down so only myself and wife can view/add pages. Added the following statements to the LocalSettings.php file and restarted IIS. These lines are not preventing editting or creating of new accounts. What does work?

$wgWhitelistEdit = true;
 * 1) Specify who can edit: true means only logged in users may edit pages

$wgWhitelistRead = array ("Main Page", "Special:Userlogin", "Wikipedia:Help");
 * 1) Pages anonymous (not-logged-in) users may see

$wgWhitelistAccount = array ( 'user' => 0, 'sysop' => 1, 'developer' => 1 );
 * 1) Specify who may create new accounts: 0 means no, 1 means yes

—63.118.221.94 20:04, 28 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Duh, the methods you're trying to use are for MediaWiki 1.4 (which is very old) - for example, $wgWhitelistEdit was a setting which was completely removed in MediaWiki 1.5.


 * The above code prevents anonymous and logged-in users from creating accounts, but still allows users with the 'sysop' and/or 'developer' permission to create accounts.


 * The following code prevents anonymous & logged-in users from editing but allows sysops and developers to edit:


 * And this disables anonymous reading and allows them only to read pages that are defined on $wgWhitelistRead. I suppose though that your project isn't called "Wikipedia", so you might want to remove "Wikipedia:Help" from the list or add another help page instead of that there. For example, if your wiki is called "MyWiki" (see $wgSitename), you could add "MyWiki:Help" to the list. In any case:


 * And this stops anons & logged-in users from creating pages:

(OUTDATED) Some programming help needed

 * MediaWiki: 1.5.8
 * PHP: 4.4.0 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 3.23.58

For my wiki I would need some additional functions wich I hope could be possible via adding to the php code. Our users will use the wiki for their own different projects. I want them to have a way to decide if other users but them can edit their pages. We developed a "traffic light"-system for this using templates. "Green" meaning free to edit for anyone, "Yellow" please ask before editing, "Red" No editing. What would we need is the edit page to check if the "Red" template is present on a page, and if yes to not save any changes, unless the user editing is the user who first created the page. If the "Yellow" template is present in a page, the user who first created it (and that user only) should be able to revert that page.

Is this somehow possible?

How can I change the text concerning the copyright in the footer of our wiki?

This is necessary since we are using images from wikicommons which are not licensed under the GNU. Thanks for helping and best wishes, —Gollum 22:18, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Maybe I'm not sure exactly what you want, but I think you want to change Mediawiki:Copyright, MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning2 or MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning. Otherwise, check special:allmessages to find the text you're changing.

An error is occuring just as a user navigates to the wiki main page:
 * 'wgBreakFrames' is undefined

This value is set in the DefaultSettings.php, so I don't understand why is message is occuring. It is set to the default value and has not been changed.

Also, this error is only occuring for a few users, not all, but it occurs every time they first open the wiki. In all instances where this occurs, the user is getting to the main wiki page from their favourites list in IE. It seems to mainly be an annoyance and does not seem to restrict them from using the wiki.

(RESOLVED) Rewrite Rules for changed Namespace Name?

 * MediaWiki: 1.13.0
 * PHP: 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3
 * MySQL: 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1

I successfully modified my .htaccess file so that I now have short URLs.

This process made me wonder if there is a way using those Apache rewrite rules to do the following: I have used the $wgNamespaceAliases array to rename a namespace. I would like this to be reflected in the URL that the user sees. As it is, typing in the alternate name just redirects to the original namespace in terms of the URL (so the $wgNamespaceAliases editing worked).

How can I use Apache rewrite rules (or any other way, for that matter) to cause the namespace to appear how I like in the URL?

Thanks for any ideas. Smaug 19:07, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi guys. We have a wiki installed for internal documentation. It contains information about various servers we have in our environments. However, we are unable to perform searches based on IP addresses. For example, searches for 192.168 will not return any results. Searches for 192.168.0.1 will not return any results. Searches for 192 will not return any results. In other words, searching for an IP, partially or in whole form, produces 0 results and the IP 192.168.0.1 exists in multiple articles.

Is there a bug? Is this a known issue? Is there a setting that needs to be set for this to work?

Thanks in advance. Zach —209.202.131.98 15:08, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I have this same problem - if any word in a search query is a number, then there will always be 0 results, even if I know a page has that number on it, or if I include other search terms in the query that I know are on some pages.

(OUTDATED) Conditional coding of LocalSettings.php

 * MediaWiki: 1.13.0
 * PHP: 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3

Checking what namespace a page is in, while in the code (of LocalSettings.php)

I am using a hook in LocalSettings.php. I would like to make the action that I am making conditional, only occuring if in certain namespaces. I looked at SkinTemplate.php (wherein is the hook I am using) to see how the software already checks for what namespace the page is in, and found on line 706.

I put  in LocalSettings.php, where the "..." is code that already was in LocalSettings.php, and that worked, but that I wished to make conditional. When I add the if statement, I get a blank page.

What is the correct way to check, in a function in LocalSettings.php for use in a hook, what namespace the page is in?

 * URL: http://wiki.anamacha.net

Hi there!

I am running a private installation of MediaWiki 1.11, and I recently had to restrict editing because of spam problems. Based on some advice I got here, I modified my LocalSettings.php file to include the following:

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
 * 1) No anonymous editing allowed -

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['createpage'] = false;
 * 1) Anonymous users can't create pages; non-me users as well.  Creators
 * 2) will need to be sysops or bureaucrats.
 * 3) $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['edit'] = true;
 * 1) due to spam problems, only users in Sysop or Editor groups are
 * 2) allowed to edit
 * 3) thanks to Tuvok on the mediawiki helpdesk

/* Group of users who are approved to edit */ $wgGroupPermissions['editor']['edit'] = true;

Now I find that I can't edit things any more. I have two accounts, both of which are in both the bureaucrat and sysop groups; when I have them look at any page in my wiki, it says "View Source" where it usually says "edit".

I think the problem is that neither of my accounts is in the 'editor' group, but I don't know how to put them in there, as I don't know anything about MySQL or php -- I can execute commands and such, but am somewhat afraid of cocking the whole thing up with the wrong command. I've found some resources online (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Setting_user_rights_in_MediaWiki) but I'm not sure how to modify the commands properly.

Help, anyone? Thanks! —Anamacha 22:50, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * If your sysops have all the rights of editors, you shouldn't need to make any sysops editors. It seems like it should be working already, but try adding in

if it's not there already.
 * If that doesn't work, I must ask are the $wgGroupPermissions you listed the entirety that are in your LocalSettings.php? <font color="#006500">Smaug 02:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)


 * no, the addition of that line didn't work. I noticed that I had two lines that said   so I commented one out while I added your suggestion.  No dice.
 * I went all through my LocalSettings.php and yes, I pasted in here all of the $wgGroupPermissions. There are none in my file that I have not quoted here.

Anamacha 22:56, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Make sure all of this is at the end of LocalSettings.php. If it's too early on it could get cancelled out by DefaultSettings perhaps...
 * If you still have problems, then comment out all of the $wgGroupPermissions lines. (If you are worried about anon editing forbid access to the whole directory during this procedure, I guess.) Try to edit something.  If you can't, you know it's not an issue with $wgGroupPermissions.  If you can, then add each one in one by one and see if unexpected behavior occurs, and if so when/where. <font color="#006500">Smaug  23:36, 26 March 2008 (UTC)


 * yes, this is all at the end. There's nothing after it; your suggestion is the last line in the file.  I figure I'll have to do as you suggest; I was hoping there was an easier way.
 * are there any $wgGroupPermissions statements at the end of the stock LocalSettings.php file? and is this file read in every time someone accesses the wiki?  (i.e., so do I ahve to restart php or something)

 * It seems that owner of image directory (and/or files) is different than your's. Apache is running under www-data or nobody user and wants to write to image folder. Probably files are uploaded under your username, so try to "chmod 777 images" directory. Do you have shell access to the server? Try to compare username and group settings of image folder and images and directories inside. Don't change chmod 777 on GlobalFunctions.php, it's only script which is calling mkdir command, you MUST change permissions on destination of that mkdir command (I suppose that images directory).

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.0

 * MySQL: 5.0.51a-log
 * URL: Ardapedia

Hi, I wrote a bot API for MediaWiki in Ruby (http://freifunk-halle.de/~konstantin/rubot). That API runs smooth on my local wiki, a test wiki and so on. And if I try it with Ardapedia it works, too, but only from my laptop, not if I run it on my server. However, on my server I've got exactly the same version of Ruby and the Ruby Net::HTTP library I'm using, it even is exactly the same OS (Ubuntu Gutsy), though my server is amd64 and my laptop x86, but that should not matter. If I run exactly the same script on my server, login works fine and all, but when trying to edit some page, I get an error: "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in." Still, the bot is logged in. Logging out and in and things like that don't solve it. And it is not possible that this error depends on my server's internet connection or something, since my local bot uses a private proxy on the server (since I'm surfing the internet via a wireless community network that the server is connected to via VPN). I even tried to use the proxy when running the script on the server, still session data is lost.

I don't use the build-in MediaWiki API, since it's not available on most of the wikis I intended the bot to be used for.

Note: I cannot change the wiki's configuration and contacting their technical admin really is a pain in the lower bottom. And since I want the bot to run smooth on as many wikis as possible this wouldn't be a satisfying solution, neither. And I have to run the bot on my server, since it is supposed to check for changes frequently.

Any help is welcome, thanks in advance. —88.198.51.136 09:06, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.0
 * PHP: Server has both PHP 4 and 5 running (Register_globals is ON due to another CMS system I have running on the same server that is old enough to require it)
 * MySQL: 4.1.22
 * URL: http://wiki.horizonfleet.net/index.php5?title=Main_Page


 * Server giving HTTP 404 Error when trying to access Wiki main page

Basically the error can be seen by going to the Wiki. When someone tries to access the wiki it throws up a 404 error reading: "The requested URL /cgi-sys/php5/index.php5 was not found on this server."

The Wiki was working fine until about a week ago. My only working theories are that someone changed something they weren't supposed to in trying to put in a new skin or some of my server settings were changed by the hosting company. Unfortunately, I can't even find a reference to the file or directory that the 404 error references in any of the code.

Any ideas what's causing this? —98.27.189.117 02:49, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

 * edits made to pages go through, but the user only sees a blank page

Following along what happens in index.php, I've ascertained that the script gets to the following conditional: else if ( ( $action == 'view' ) &&	(!isset( $_GET['title'] ) || $wgTitle->getPrefixedDBKey != $_GET['title'] ) &&	!count( array_diff( array_keys( $_GET ), array( 'action', 'title' ) ) ) ) {	/* redirect to canonical url, make it a 301 to allow caching */ $wgOut->setSquidMaxage( 1200 ); $wgOut->redirect( $wgTitle->getFullURL, '301'); }

but nothing seems to happen. I've tested and $wgTitle->getFullURL is populated properly.

I am observing this behavior in both mediawiki versions 1.5.3 and 1.6.10. PHP is version 4.3.2, MySQL is version 4.1.12-standard-log. —Chris.braiotta 20:38, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Problem with the search engine

 * MediaWiki version: 1.12.0
 * PHP version: 5.2.3 (cgi-fcgi)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.24-community-nt
 * URL: not published yet

Hi there,

I have a small problem with the wiki search engine and I hope you can give me a hint how to solve it: If I include a template into one of my pages and search for a word which occurs in the template, then the page isn't shown in the results of my query. I think, the reason for it is, that the wiki search engine only searches in the source code of the pages. Over there you can of course only find the name of the template, but not its content.

1st question: is that right? 2nd question: which possibilities are there to solve the problem? Will it be solved if I update to MediaWiki 1.14.0? Or do I have to include something like the Google Custom Search Engine Extension

Thank you very much & have a nice day —Scboehm 07:19, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Transport a wiki from one server to another one

 * MediaWiki version: 1.11
 * PHP version: 5.2
 * MySQL version: 5.0.45
 * URL:

Hey,

i want to transport my wiki from one server to another one.

I tried it in the following way:

I have installed the MediaWiki Software (same version) on the new server. Than i copied the old image folder into the new wiki. After that i exported the the database from the old MySql and imported it into the new MySql. Last but not least i wrote the same user entries from the old LocalSetting.php into the new one. Of course i fitted the entries for the database.

After that the new wiki works almost fine! But i have some weird problems! Some images are not shown in the articles. But not all of them. In some articles there are the images and in other ones there are no images! The same problem is with some content and links!

Do anyone know what the fault is? I have no idea! And the weird thing is that only some artciles are incomplete!

Is there maybe a better way to transport the wiki from one hardware to another one??

Thanks a lot!!

Possible to unhook "Project" namespace and then use as custom?

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.2
 * PHP version: 5.2.9 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.66a

Hello,

We're using MediaWiki internally at our company and have changed the $wgSitename to be the name of our company ("Foo") instead of the default "Project". Now we'd like to be able to use the "Project" namespace as a custom namespace (to designate projects that we're working on), but something like "Project:Bar" is currently redirecting to "Foo:bar".

Is there a way we can unhook the "Project" namespace from being linked to our site name?

—142.9.1.100 20:21, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

I believe this is hardcoded into the software; if you really want to dig it out, you might start by looking at Language::fixUpSettings. Otherwise, you could just use the namespace "Projects". :) —Emufarmers(T 08:15, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

is there any way to get a email notification for the watch list with information about what is changed on a site? Example: I have something like a "New Ticker" and if someone add some note I would like to have the Information in my email. Maybe with a limitation of the 100 characters?

Is that possible?

Thank you very much In advance

 * You need to make sure that the $wgEnotifWatchlist config setting is set to true on your wiki, then check the "receive email notification when a page I'm watching is edited" preference (not sure exactly what it's called) in your preferences. Happy ‑ melon 16:07, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

The problem is NOT to get a email, the problem is to get a email with the information what has been changed.

Example: Dear XXXX, The News Wiki page News Ticker has been changed on 07:29, 28 May 2009 by anonymous user. He insert following Information: "to day we have 50° and sonny weather, tomorrow starts raining".

That what I'm looking for. Any idea?

Remo Date 28.05.2009 09:47
 * Ah, I see. No, that functionality is not available, as far as I know. And it would be quite difficult to summarise complicated changes in that fashion (just adding a line is one thing, but what about when someone fixes a bunch of typos over the whole page?).  You could file a bug over at bugzilla, but I'm not sure there would be much interest in it. Happy ‑ melon 08:49, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

What is a category id? Is it an integer generated based on the category name?

—158.130.93.78 18:17, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Every page, piece of text, user, event, revision, or other object is identified within the software not by its name, which can have many wierd-and-wonderful properties (and often doesn't make sense: what is the 'name' of a log event?), but by a number or 'id' which is assigned when the object is stored in the database. So every time a user saves an edit, a new revision is created (with an associated revision id), which links to the user themselves (identified by a user id), to the text of the revision (identified by a text id), which page the revision was made to (identified by a page id), and various other properties.
 * Categories are, as you note, identified by a category id. The category is the actual place where category links lead to, and the page on which the category listing is displayed.  That page may or may not exist: if it does, there will be an associated page with a separate page id that contains the introductory text, but nonexistent categories can still have a category id.  Thus any category that has a page categorised into it (or which has had members in the past) has an associated category id.  Hope this clarifies. Happy ‑ melon 12:44, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I have to take over the maintenance of a wiki powered by mediawiki. At the same time I have to move it to another server. The wiki contains two portals. At the new location it would be better to have two wikis instead of having two portals in one wiki. Is it possible to export the portals of the current wiki separately and to import them on the new server as two wikis?

Google indexes page links with redirect=no

 * MediaWiki version: 1.12.0
 * PHP version: 5.1.6 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.271.12.0
 * URL: http://www.cookipedia.co.uk/
 * The code for this wiki has been hacked around a bit but nothing (AFAIK) that would cause this behaviour.

Google indexes pages on this wiki that include "redirect=no" in the link so when the pages are followed from a search engine, the visitor sees a blank redirect page and is not redirected to the correct page.

As Google has already indexed 1000's of pages like this, ideally I would like to hack the core so "redirect=no" is ignored *unless* the referrer is from this wiki. A starting point for hackery would be gratefully recieved.

Radius authentication not working after upgrading
Hello,
 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.0
 * PHP version: 5.0.4
 * MySQL version: 4.1.12
 * URL:

I've created a test environment which is a copy of our production environment. The starting point is mediawiki 1.4.5, same versions of php and mysql. I did an inplace upgrade of mediawiki per the online upgrade instructions. All in all, everything worked pretty smoothly. I had to upgrade libxm2 to 2.6, but outside of that, the only thing that appears to no longer function is our custom authentication.

In the old world, we had things setup to authenticate users against our radius server. This no longer appears to work. To do this in version 1.4.5 we made changes to

LocalSettings.php by adding the following at the end:

$wgRemotePasswordCheck = true; $wgRemotePasswordServer = "localhost"; $wgRemotePasswordPort = 80;

User.php by commenting out the existing checkPassword function and adding: function checkPassword( $password ) {			global $wgRemotePasswordCheck, $wgRemotePasswordServer, $wgRemotePasswordPort; $this->loadFromDatabase; $ep = $this->encryptPassword( $password );

if ( $wgRemotePasswordCheck ) { $lower = strtolower( $this->mName ); $credentials = $lower. ":" . $password; $out = "GET /security/index.htm HTTP/1.1\r\n"; $out .= "Host: $wgRemotePasswordServer\r\n"; $out .= "Authorization: Basic " .base64_encode($credentials). "\r\n\r\n"; $fp = fsockopen( $wgRemotePasswordServer, $wgRemotePasswordPort, $errno, $errstr, 30 ); if( !$fp ) { echo "$errstr ($errno) "; } else { fwrite( $fp, $out ); $test = fgets( $fp, 128); fclose( $fp ); }			  if( 0 == strcmp( $test, "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n" ) ) { {					return true; }				}			}		}

AuthPlugin.php

change autocreate and UserExists to true

SpecialUserLogin.php comment out the processLogin if (0 == $u->getID block and add:

If (0 == $u->getID ) {			$u = & $this->init_user ($u);                  /* and add this line */ }

Can someone clue me in on what has changed? (Looks like SpecialUserLogin.php isn't used anymore).

Does someone have the procedure for enabling radius authentication in version 1.15.0? Any help would be appreciated.

—Weirdy12 11:28, 27 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The structure of the outputted page is defined by the skin templates, in the /skins folder. However, if you want to load JavaScript, you can call $wgOut->addScript( 'path_to_script' )</tt> to load an extra JS file.  Or you can just set $wgUseSiteJs</tt> and put the script in MediaWiki:Common.js on your wiki. Which is probably much easier than editing the output page. Happy ‑ melon 16:57, 27 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I've tried the Common.js method, but I can't get it to load as it runs before the output is finished. Where would I call $wgOut->addScript( 'path_to_script' )</tt>?

non-standard port redirection bug

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.6 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.51b-community
 * URL: http://taras.dlinkddns.com:8888/

My provider blocks the 80 port and I have to use non-standard one(for example 8888). I configured Apache and MediaWiki and all works fine exept fast search. When the name of the existing article is written into the search line, MediaWiki automatically redirects to this article, but the port number is losing. For example, writing "cуп" or "Суп" in the search line, redirection goes to http://taras.dlinkddns.com/wiki/Cуп (The article with this name exists). But I need redirection like http://taras.dlinkddns.com:8888/wiki/Cуп. And when I am writing in browser link http://taras.dlinkddns.com:8888/wiki/cуп (in word "cуп" the first letter is in the lowercase but the article name starts with the uppercase), redirection is also http://taras.dlinkddns.com/wiki/Cуп. All works fine in all other cases. Help me please with this trouble.

 * Standard way is to make the uncapitalised version a redirect to the capitalised version, or to which every one is the "standard" for the wiki. -- Dr DBW |  talk  04:03, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. Yes, we have been doing this but it seems like wasted effort when it should be easy to generate the redirect in software rather than having people go through the hassle of manually creating a redirect. I was wondering if a hook was available that could do this. In practice, it would be equivalent to stripping the case from all wikiwords. -- James --130.113.172.122 18:28, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

User groups stopped working

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.0
 * PHP: 5.2.5 (cgi)
 * MySQL: 5.0.81-community-log
 * URL: http://developer.newsgator.com/wiki/

The wiki has been up and running fine for quite a while now. Recently something changed, and all users are acting like "unprivileged" users - I can't see any of the admin special pages, create/delete regular pages, etc. This affects all users, including sysops. When I look at users in the user list they still show their group memberships. So it seems that users are still in groups, but for some reason they aren't getting the permissions they should have.

There had been no configuration changes for almost a year prior to this problem appearing, and this was verified by the file timestamps. There are a limited number of sysops - I have talked to them and all say they haven't touched anything. I also looked in the database and the user and user_group tables look fine to my untrained eye.

I've poked around the help sections here and elsewhere, but haven't had any luck. Any help would be appreciated.

- Thanks for looking Alex. I see what you mean. However, if you look up a specific user (eg, breischl) it shows the groups. I also looked at the database table user_groups, and it has what look like reasonable values. Here are a few example rows from that table:

ug_user	ug_group 1	bureaucrat 11	bureaucrat 12	editor 1	sysop 2	sysop

So it seems like the groups are there, but they're somehow messed up. Is there something else I need to do to fix the groups? Thanks again for your help.

-38.97.237.188 15:15, 18 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Trim the names. Looks like they have trailing spaces:

ug_user	ug_group 1	'bureaucrat     ' 11	'bureaucrat     ' 12	'editor         ' 1	'sysop         ' 2	'sysop         ' as opposed to ug_user	ug_group 1	'bureaucrat' 11	'bureaucrat' 12	'editor' 1	'sysop' 2	'sysop'
 * Platonides 15:25, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

- You're right that they're padded out, but I think that's because the column is a varbinary(16). I tried updating the rows to remove the spaces, but then they end up null-padded. ug_user	ug_group 1	bureaucrat\0\0\0\0\0\0 1	sysop\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0

They don't seem to work right that way either - I still have no rights, and the user list shows no users. I tried modifying the LocalSettings.php file to force a reload, but that didn't seem to do anything. I'll leave the groups null-padded for now in case that changes something I don't know to look at. Thanks for your help.

Remove Donations message at top left (above tabs)

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.3 (cgi-fcgi)

Since upgrading to 1.15.1, I notice that logged out users see a rotating message at the top of the page, above the tabs, requesting donations to Wikipedia. E.g. "Wikipedia is sustained by people like you. Please donate today."

In addition to the upgrade, I have recently installed the extension NewestPages (but disabling the extension doesn't appear to remove the message).

I have searched at length, and have ascertained that this is NOT the MediaWiki:Anonnotice message (which appears below the tabs). But, as a new MediaWiki admin, I'm at a loss - please can someone point me in the right direction to remove or modify this message.

Thanks!

Funny, I have the same wiki version and I do not have this issue. Maybe you installed an extention which is doing this? By uninstalling extentions, the easiest way to do so is by removing the line(s) of code listed in the LocalSettings.php in the root of your wiki's source. This line of code, if removed, will not point your wiki to the extention and therefore should go away. If such extention does not go away, I would suggest you maybe consider the idea that such extention did not have the effect on such areas of the wiki you are assuming to have affected the wiki post installing the extention.

NEED MORE USER PERMISSIONS!!!

 * URL: Cannot distribute, Sorry.

Hi, I have started an all gamers wiki and research website based on your Mediawiki engine. I have noticed that you have not put a lot of effort into adding more user group permissions. One matter that really will help is by having a permission that will allow guests to free add/submit articles at will, but that such additions/edits MUST BE approved PRIOR to the article becoming global.

This will help with not only my own wiki, but pretty much every wiki that is born. You must understand that staff, especially in the gaming scene, is greatly unavilable, and vandelism exceeds even that of wikipedia. This will be a change to consider for whichever version you are currently working on (verson 1.16.1).

Please keep in mind that the GroupPermissions Management extention and DocApproval are NOT what I am looking for.

Thank you for your help. :)
