Which extension is responsible for the Search of Mediawiki. I mean the dynamic-list functionalitiy of the Search-form in the navi.

I need to find pages only with puting some letter in the input field and then get a drop-down list of articels.

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

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.2
 * PHP version: 5.2.2 (apache2handler)
 * 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.

Thanks THP3 —136.141.6.76 00:09, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
