$wgDBtransactions gets set to true if using InnoDB tables. Is there an advantage to using InnoDB tables? The disadvantage is that with MySQL there is a file, ibdata1, that seems to grow endlessly if InnoDB tables are used. See http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=1341 We're wondering if we should just convert everything to MyISAM. Any thoughts? ===================================== Jim Hu Associate Professor Dept. of Biochemistry and Biophysics 2128 TAMU Texas A&M Univ. College Station, TX 77843-2128 979-862-4054

automatic template inclusion in new pages?

by Matthew Betts

Hi, Is there a way to ensure that a template is included in all pages of a particular namespace? I'd like to use our mediawiki to allow people to annotate some things in a biology project, and the wiki URLs will be generated automatically by an external program. Thanks, Matthew -- Matthew Betts, Russell Group CellNetworks, BioQuant, University of Heidelberg Im Neuenheimer Feld 267, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany

One software for multiple websites

by Ekompute .info

Hi, I removed the LocalSettings.php to another folder so that eventually, all my websites can share one common Mediawiki software, rather than repeating it for each website. I put the Mediawiki software in folder "Commonsoftware". How do I change the $IP in LocalSettings so that it points to the folder "Commonsoftware"? I tried $IP = "../Commonsoftware;" but it is not working. -- PM Poon

Error with the Move command

by Tolliver

Hello, I had already searched google for that string, and didn't have any success. However, one thing I neglected to mention was; I can move a page provided its not to a Namespace, but I can move it from a Namespace to Main. Here is what the part of my LocalSettings.php looks like: $wgExtraNamespaces[100] = "NetRedesign"; $wgExtraNamespaces[102] = "Border"; $wgExtraNamespaces[104] = "Dwight"; $wgExtraNamespaces[106] = "Ensg"; $wgExtraNamespaces[108] = "Reg-Off"; $wgExtraNamespaces[110] = "LegalCounsel"; require_once( "extensions/NamespacePermissions.php" ); $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault = array( NS_MAIN => 1, NS_USER => 1, 100 => 1, 102 => 1,104 => 1,106 => 1,108 => 1,110 => 1); $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RW" ][ "ns100_edit" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RW" ][ "ns100_read" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RW" ][ "ns100_create" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RW" ][ "ns100_move" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RW" ][ "obliged100_upload" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RO" ][ "ns100_read" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RW" ][ "ns100_delete" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Border_RW" ][ "ns102_edit" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Border_RW" ][ "ns102_read" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Border_RW" ][ "ns102_create" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Border_RW" ][ "ns102_move" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Border_RW" ][ "ns102_upload" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Border_RO" ][ "ns102_read" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Dwight_RW" ][ "ns104_edit" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Dwight_RW" ][ "ns104_read" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Dwight_RW" ][ "ns104_create" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Dwight_RW" ][ "ns104_move" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Dwight_RW" ][ "ns104_upload" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Dwight_RO" ][ "ns104_read" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Ensg_RW" ][ "ns106_edit" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Ensg_RW" ][ "ns106_read" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Ensg_RW" ][ "ns106_create" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Ensg_RW" ][ "ns106_move" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Ensg_RW" ][ "ns106_upload" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Ensg_RO" ][ "ns106_read" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Reg-Off_RW" ][ "ns108_edit" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Reg-Off_RW" ][ "ns108_read" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Reg-Off_RW" ][ "ns108_create" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Reg-Off_RW" ][ "ns108_move" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Reg-Off_RW" ][ "ns108_upload" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Reg-Off_RO" ][ "ns108_read" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "LegalCounsel_RW" ][ "ns110_edit" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "LegalCounsel_RW" ][ "ns110_read" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "LegalCounsel_RW" ][ "ns110_create" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "LegalCounsel_RW" ][ "ns110_move" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "LegalCounsel_RW" ][ "ns110_upload" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "LegalCounsel_RO" ][ "ns110_read" ] = true; Much obliged! -----------------------------------------------------------

editing the edition buttons

by Andre Meunier

Hello, I'd like to modify the edition buttons (the buttons you have above the edition frame when you modify a page), to remove the date from the signature button, and keep only the name. It works manually when removing one of the '~' from the signature added (the button adds --~~~~), so I'm trying to find where the javascript for the buttons comes from. -- *Andre Meunier*

"Category: Noindexed pages" puzzle

by Anne Wilson

Mediawiki version - 1.16.0 (r74364) I have been running some experiments in moving pages to a newly created Archive namespace. I created some test pages and moved two with redirects and two without redirects, so that I could look for unwanted side-effects. I also marked those four pages with __NOINDEX__. Up to that point everything seemed fine. A new category was automatically created - Noindexed_pages. All four of the pages now in the Archive namespace bear a link to that category, yet when I use the link I find that only one of the four pages is listed. Is this a bug, or have I missed something important? Anne -- New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

Hi, I just created a new wiki at http://linuxlea.free.fr/linux/wiki . Is seems to work, but I can't create an account. Error message is "Login error There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again." Of course I tried to do that, but it does not work. It also tells me : "You must have cookies enabled to log in to Linuxlea." But in Firefox 3.6.3 under Debian Squeeze, there is no option for cookies in privacy tab. So I tried with Konqueror, cookies enabled, but I obtain the same error message. cheers Klaus
