Tutorial
The explanation on this page about how wgConf needs to be setup is very limited. Since the most common use of wgConf is with CentralAuth, I've been writing a tutorial about how to setup a wiki farm with CentralAuth and everything. I'm not sure how to setup wgConf probably myself, so please help me complete User:Huji/Wikimedia clone. Thanks! Huji (talk) 14:11, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Variables replacement
(possibly I did something wrong...) 2 variable replacements seem to work : However it seems it's not possible to use variables (previously !) defined within the $wgConf->settings array, like : 'wgScriptPath' => // array('default'=>'/mediawiki', ), 'wgScript' => // array('default'=>'$wgScriptPath/index.php', ), will leave $wgScript unreplaced. My solution was to add a postprocessing step : $globals = $wgConf->getAll($wgConfWikiName,null,$wgConfParams,$wgConfTags); // replace variables used in strings foreach( $globals as $varname => $stuff ) { if(is_string($stuff)) { preg_match_all('/\$\w\w+/', $stuff, $arr); foreach($arr[0] as $val) { if(isset($val)){ $stuff = str_replace( $val,${ substr($val,1) },$stuff ); } 		} 		$globals[$varname]=$stuff; } 	//define variable so that following variables can reference it 	$GLOBALS[$varname]=$stuff; } (the \w\w+ hack is in order no to match the $1 variable used eg in $wgArticlePath='/$1')
 * internally defined variables like $lang, $wiki
 * variables provided through $params parameter

true has prio over false
the given example with wgGroupPermissions is poorly choosen! According to SiteConfig.php: // Values that evaluate to true given precedence, for the primary purpose of merging permissions arrays.

This means, it's mandatory to use $wgRevokePermissions (and set the values to true) to actually disable permissions, instead of setting the fields to false in $wgGroupPermissions --Jhf2442 (talk) 21:16, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
