Getting list of articles for sitemap template

John van V. — 2008-08-29T16:06:23

Hello all, My wiki is being used to support projects and format plans. I am also using it to format documentation, and very soon contributors may be adding pages at a high rate. What I am hoping to develop is a page that lists all the pages in an automated site map. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance, John

How to keep up to date with changes to MonoBook ?

The Gadget Doctor — 2008-08-29T15:43:46

I have a modified skin to integrate my wiki with my site. It's a little complex because it integrates a Mac wisiwig tool (RapidWeaver) with Mediawiki. The skin I created based on Monobook and so bits of monobook end up in my RapidWeaver site. Now I've just noticed that the latest version of monobook has changed subtly in one bit: data['catlinks']) { ?>

html('catlinks') ?>

has become: data['catlinks']) { $this->html('catlinks'); } ?> Note the div id="catlinks" is now (obviously) provided by $this->html('catlinks'). I only found this because I validated my page and found an error. I was wondering if there is a recognized way for people who mod skins to keep up to date or if this kind of thing is just a right royal pain in the ass? GD

you may be interested in installing the wiki to pdf extension ( http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Pdf_Export) which would be suitable for what you want to do and is currently being tested for use on wikimedia wikis.

Hi, we are using WikiMedia for internal documentation. The question was rised whether it is possible to obtain nicely formated PDFs out of a Wiki article. Kind regards Andreas.

Template with parameters

Bobby S — 2008-08-29T05:45:52

I think I read that this is possible somewhere, but I can't find it. Anyway, I have a parameterized template. The end result of this template would be a sortable wikitable where each parameter value would create a row. If that value didn't exist I would use the #if parser function to hide that row from the results. My question is this: What if I don't end up with any values for the parameters thus producing zero table rows? Is there a way to hide the top/bottom of the table and put something in its place such as "No values were given for this article" as text? I just don't want to end up with something like this if there are no table rows due to someone not entered any values: {|class="wikitable sortable" !Name!!Surname!!Height |} It would obviously be more user friendly in that instance to just print "No values were given for this article" as stated before. I appreciate any help you can give me on this.

Re: Images not showing after upgrade

Re: Images not showing after upgrade

Henny Savenije — 2008-08-28T06:37:35

A bit complicated but I resolved it. I reverted back to the previous version and discovered to my surprise that all the texts were gone. So I reverted again back to version 1.3 and imported through SSH, and there MySQL a backup I had previously made. Even though the images didn't show up, they did after I reimported it. The issue with the sysop rights remains though. One question, in the database I can see that the usergroups the ug_group variable is set to varbinary(16) NOW it has me assigned as sysop and bureaucrat, (all in lowercase) however I don't seem to have those rights. Trying to change it to Sysop and Bureaucrat will add trailing zeros, does anybody have any idea? In your database is the ug_group variable also set to varbinary(16)? Since I have an inking that this is the cause of the trailing zeros. How can I change that?

Hi Jim, thanks. There were some problems during installation but it did go through. Since I was able to change the table structures by hand, I assumed the script could have done the same but did not. In my next upgrade, I will take notes and compare the schemas and then get back here if I notice differences. thanks!

You mean the images are showing, yes, on the long URL, but according to the short URL they don't. At least not on my computer and not the one in the office. I tried several browsers on several computers, but they don't show up.

It didn't change. It is still images on your wiki. The problem is not with the images. Mediawiki just doesn't know how to handle a file of type "image/jpeg��" Seems your database corrupted on the update :S Did you change table options?
