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)

CheckUser - cu_log empty, cu_changes not empty.

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.1

 * PostgreSQL: PostgreSQL 8.2.6 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2)

I have already installed this extension and found it not working. What is the problem? The cu_log is empty, so empty... And it is all that I have found out of my database and from the Special:CheckUser site, which tells me the same.

Of course, I've tried doing installation next time (deleting old thing and creating them using cu_log.pg.sql and cu_changes.pg.sql). Nothing happened.

And the second thing I've noticed: when I try to check smb's IP, I get the following warning: Warning: pg_query [function.pg-query]: Query failed: ERROR: relation "cu_log_cul_id" does not exist in /home/k07_b/petersa/.homepage/mw/includes/DatabasePostgres.php on line 515 Błąd wewnętrzny

Some questions

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.0
 * PHP: 5.2.4
 * MySQL: 2.8.0.2
 * URL: RockCiclopedia

Some questions: Is there an extension I have to install?
 * I've seen that in Wikipedia there's a function (mainly used in templates) like this: . I've tried to copy some lines on my wiki but that function doesn't work!


 * After I've installed the extension CharInsert.php when I try to access to Special:SpecialPages I receive this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare setupspecialchars (previously declared in /home/mhd-01/www.rockciclopedia.com/htdocs/extensions/CharInsert/CharInsert.php:46) in /home/mhd-01/www.rockciclopedia.com/htdocs/extensions/CharInsert/CharInsert.php on line 48

If I remove the extension the problem is fixed..... why??


 * How do I edit the 404 error page that ask you if you want to create that article? There should be a MediaWiki:Newpage or something like this, I don't remember.......

—Lorenzone92 20:47, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


 * It's MediaWiki:Noarticletext. A few others are MediaWiki:Noarticletextanon, MediaWiki:Badtitletext, MediaWiki:Noimage, but that seems to be the main one. --66.102.80.212 23:20, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks! And for the other questions? --Lorenzone92 21:56, 22 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Extension:ParserFunctions provides #if:SOMETHING among its various functions; the docs for CharInsert are here. --Carlb 03:31, 23 February 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks!! And how can I export all my pages? In Special:Export I have to add them manually, how can I export/import all together (template/Mediawiki:xxx also)? --Lorenzone92 14:40, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

If you have access to the command line on your server:
 * php maintenance/dumpBackup.php exports every page in all namespaces
 * php maintenance/importDump.php imports them all together. --Carlb 01:04, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

(RESOLVED) Is it possible to have an article that pulls in content from another file at load time? (or at any time really.)

 * MediaWiki: 1.9.4
 * PHP: 5.1.6 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 5.0.27

Is there a way to have a wiki page that pulls its content from another file stored on my server? For example, I have a file on my server, already using MediaWiki markup, called "CHANGELIST" and whenever its updated, I'd like a specific wiki page to update its content based on whats in the "CHANGELIST" file.

I feel like this isn't something too difficult, and probably has been covered before, but my searching skills are just terrible and I can't find it.

Thanks in advance.

 * It should be fine; the extension is using !in_array($ns, array(NS_USER, NS_IMAGE)) to check for namespaces #4 (user) and #6 (image) by number, not by name, so the namespaces themselves may be named in any language without problems. --Carlb 01:14, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

(RESOLVED) PARSER extensions not working

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.1
 * PHP: 5.2.1 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 4.1.16-max
 * URL: INTRANET... Sic

I've got a problem with the image directory, where many images disappeared without explanation (I haven't found yet and I've checked the filesystem of the RAID1 device, reviewed all the logs from wiki, mysql and apache). The info associated to those "deleted" images is still in the database, though. Therefore, I decided to update the wiki (the "old" one was a 1.9.3) to the later stable build, say here 1.11.1. The database migration went smoothly.

I've upgraded the extensions and included some extra new ones. However, I cannot get three of them working: ParserFunctions, StringFunctions and ImageLink (but they appear to be OK at the Special:Version page). I've tried without success all the suggestions I've found on your help pages, the bugtracking search system, etc..., even google (web, groups, bizzcode, ...). I've also played to leave uncommented only one of them on the LocalSettings.php file. Having "display_errors" enabled, the wiki (and the corresponding apache logs with the variable disabled) produces the following warnings, one per "parsing" function:

Notice: Undefined index: if in *wiki_root_dir*/languages/Language.php on line 1145 Warning: array_slice [function.array-slice]: The first argument should be an array in  *wiki_root_dir*/languages/Language.php on line 1153

I'VE GOT IT ... X^D

Although I was looking forward a reply on this section, I've been trying many things. Finally, I've found what was going on. On the newer configuration file (LocalSettings.php), the initialization of the array $wgHooks</tt> is provided after the "Extensions" section. As I haven't found any counter indication on the installation manual or the embed comments; when migrating to the newer version of MediWiki, I put the require</tt>s to local installed extensions within that section (not at the end of the file), as follows:

/***************************************************************************** * Extensions */

/** * A list of callback functions which are called once MediaWiki is fully initialised */ $wgExtensionFunctions = array;

/** ... Lines of code and comments from $wgExtensionFunctions to $wgExtensionCredits initialization ... *** * Where $type is 'specialpage', 'parserhook', or 'other'. */ $wgExtensionCredits = array;

/** * LOCAL INSTALLED EXTENSIONS */

// to view all possible errors found in a page $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; error_reporting( E_ALL ); ini_set( "display_errors", true );

/* * end extensions ******************************************************************************/

By moving the following code, that initially I've found many lines after the extensions section,

/** * Global list of hooks. * Add a hook by doing: *    $wgHooks['event_name'][] = $function; * or: *    $wgHooks['event_name'][] = array($function, $data); * or: *    $wgHooks['event_name'][] = array($object, 'method'); */ $wgHooks = array;

just after the $wgExtensionCredits = array;</tt> line, everything started to work: no errors on pages, no errors on logs, all parser extensions being replaced...

I hope this will help anybody else having problems with the parser extensions. Cheers... Josep F. Abril

Blank Page after Executing Hook

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.1
 * PHP: 5.2.0 (apache2handler)

Hello, I've attached a function to the ArticleSaveComplete hook. The function completes successfully, but the user is then presented with a blank page rather than being directed back to the article page like they were before. Do I have to return a special value or do something special in order to redirect the user to the article? Or does this mean that I've done something wrong with the called function?

—98.214.108.155 02:30, 8 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.

Hello! I have to report an error of CategoryTree (I think it is an error, so I don't know). Following report does occur, if I open by clicking on [+] on a category page showing the subcategories (not everytimes but about every 6). In place of subcategory does appear:

Protect a namespace

 * 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 ?

 * 1) Maybe you should post SocialProfile-related questions to Extension talk:SocialProfile rather than here, I know that I at least watch that page actively, unlike the support desk pages. :)
 * 2) Are you using the latest version from SVN? If not, please upgrade to it. The SourceForge version at least causes problems like the one you mentioned, it's very buggy and most likely compatible only with MediaWiki 1.10. -- Sayuri 18:05, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

(RESOLVED) Prevent MediaWiki from putting HTML tags in my tag extensions

 * MediaWiki: 1.12.0
 * PHP: 5.2.5 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 5.0.45-max-log

How can I prevent MediaWiki from putting HTML tags like paragraph and definition tags in my own tag extensions? You know, the auto linebreak and indention stuff, e.g. when you start the line with a colon.

More concrete, I enabled TeX using this technique, but MediaWiki dealt with linebreaks before the code was transformed into the formula image. So, a TeX expression like

\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} &= \frac{f(x_0+\Delta x) - f(x_0)}{\Delta x}\\ &= \frac{\bigl((x_0+\Delta x)^2 - 3(x_0+\Delta x) + 2\bigr) - (x_0^2 - 3x_0 + 2)}{\Delta x}\\ &= \frac{x_0^2 + 2x_0\Delta x + \Delta x^2 - 3x_0 - 3\Delta x + 2 - x_0^2 + 3x_0 - 2}{\Delta x}\\ &= \frac{2x_0\Delta x + \Delta x^2 - 3\Delta x}{\Delta x}\\ &= 2x_0 + \Delta x - 3. \end{align}$$

would end up like this.

When I saw this I wrote an own tag extension for math tags, but the output was all the same. This is the extension code: $wgExtensionFunctions[] = 'efMyTex'; function efMyTex { global $wgParser; $wgParser->setHook( 'mathx', 'efMyTexRender' ); // not sure if I can overwrite the built-in math tag here } function efMyTexRender( $input, $args, $parser ) { return '<img class="tex" src="http://www.forkosh.dreamhost.com/mathtex.cgi?' . $input . '" alt="LaTex: ' . $input . '">'; }

I didn't find the slightest hint concerning my problem in the manual and nobody was able to help me on the IRC channel, so I'll be more than glad if someone here could direct me in the right direction.

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).

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.

 * 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. <font color="#006500">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)

 * ~/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.
