File descriptions aren't fetched

by Till Kraemer

Hi, I'm running multiple language wikis and one pool wiki. The problem is that no file descriptions are fetched in the language wikis although $wgFetchCommonsDescriptions is set to true. LocalSettings.php of the language wikis: $wgUseSharedUploads = true; $wgSharedUploadPath = ' http://pool.example.com/w/images '; $wgSharedUploadDirectory = '/path/to/pool/w/images/'; $wgHashedSharedUploadDirectory = true; $wgFetchCommonsDescriptions = true; $wgSharedUploadDBname = 'poolwiki'; # DB-Name of PoolWiki #$wgSharedUploadDBprefix = 'wiki_'; # Table name prefix for PoolWiki $wgRepositoryBaseUrl = " http://pool.example.com/wiki/Image :"; ForeignAPIRepo used to work fine before, but since I switched from Apache to Nginx, no images show up anymore in the language wikis. This is how my LocalSettings.php used to look like: $wgForeignFileRepos[] = array( 'class' => 'ForeignAPIRepo', 'name' => 'pool', 'apibase' => ' http://pool.example.com/w/api.php ', 'fetchDescription' => true, // Optional 'descriptionCacheExpiry' => 43200, // 12 hours, optional (values are seconds) 'apiThumbCacheExpiry' => 0, // required for local thumb caching ); I also tried to set 'name' => 'poolwiki', (name of the pool database) but that doesn't work either. I also re-started Memcached and I even deleted a file description page from the CloudFlare cache, but still no file description can be seen :/ My software: MediaWiki: 1.22.0 PHP: 5.3.27 (fpm-fcgi) MySQL: 5.1.70-log Any help would be uber-cool. Thanks and cheers, Till

subskin customizations

by Bill Traynor

In an old vector based skin on a 1.16 version of MW, the skin author added custom html and css directly into the skin.php code to add a custom header above the personal tools links. Where do I put that code in a vector subskin in MW 1.22? Do I add it directly to myskin.php again, or to myskin.skin.php? Do I separate the html and css and add the html to myskin.skin.php and the css to screen.css? Thanks Bill

New extensions from Vistaprint

by Daniel Renfro

At Vistaprint ( www.vistaprint.com ), we have an extensive internal wiki, and over the last six years, my team has built 50+ custom MediaWiki extensions. I'm happy to announce that we are starting to release these extensions as open source. They range from very small (see below) to quite powerful & unique. To help us get familiar with Wikimedia's Git/Gerrit process, we're beginning with a very small but useful extension: CategoryTagSorter. It simply alphabetizes the category links displayed in articles. (Normally they appear in the same order written as in the wikitext.) It has been called "the simplest useful MediaWiki extension" and was written originally by Dan Barrett (User:Maiden_taiwan, also author of the O'Reilly MediaWiki book). Have a look at the documentation at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTagSorter View the code at: https://git.wikimedia.org/log/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FCategoryTagSorter We are looking forward to releasing more extensions in the coming months, and hope to become more involved in the MediaWiki community in general. Questions and/or comments can be sent to me directly, or to MediawikiExtensions(a)vistaprint.com. Cheers, --Daniel Renfro (User:AlephNull) and the rest of the MediaWiki development team at Vistaprint

Edit talk pages but not anything else

by yan＠seiner.com

Is there a way to give users permission to edit talk pages but not the main pages? The only extension I found is no longer maintained. I want to give regular users permissions to read the main page and then make comments on the talk page, but not edit the main page.

MediaWiki Security Releases: 1.22.2, 1.21.5 and 1.19.11

by Chris Steipp

I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.22.2, 1.21.5 and 1.19.11. Your MediaWiki installation is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability if you have enabled file upload support for DjVu (natively supported by MediaWiki) or PDF files (in combination with the PdfHandler extension). Neither file type is enabled by default in MediaWiki installations. If you are affected, we strongly urge you to update immediately. Affected supported versions: All == Security fixes == * Netanel Rubin from Check Point discovered a remote code execution vulnerability in MediaWiki's thumbnail generation for DjVu files. Internal review also discovered similar logic in the PdfHandler extension, which could be exploited in a similar way. (CVE-2014-1610) < https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60339 > == Bug Fixes in 1.22.2 == * (bug 58253) Check for very old PCRE versions in installer and updater * (bug 60054) Make WikiPage::$mPreparedEdit public Full release notes for 1.22.1: < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.22 > Full release notes for 1.21.4: < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.21 > Full release notes for 1.19.9: < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.19 > For information about how to upgrade, see < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading > ********************************************************************** 1.22.2 ********************************************************************** Download: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.22/mediawiki-1.22.2.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.22.1): http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.22/mediawiki-1.22.2.patch.gz GPG signatures: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.22/mediawiki-core-1.22.2.tar.gz.s… http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.22/mediawiki-1.22.2.tar.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.22/mediawiki-1.22.2.patch.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.22/mediawiki-i18n-1.22.2.patch.gz… Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html ********************************************************************** 1.21.5 ********************************************************************** Download: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.21/mediawiki-1.21.5.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.21.4): http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.21/mediawiki-1.21.5.patch.gz GPG signatures: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.21/mediawiki-core-1.21.5.tar.gz.s… http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.21/mediawiki-1.21.5.tar.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.21/mediawiki-1.21.5.patch.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.21/mediawiki-i18n-1.21.5.patch.gz… Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html ********************************************************************** 1.19.11 ********************************************************************** Download: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.19/mediawiki-1.19.11.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.19.10): http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.19/mediawiki-1.19.11.patch.gz GPG signatures: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.19/mediawiki-core-1.19.11.tar.gz.… http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.19/mediawiki-1.19.11.tar.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.19/mediawiki-1.19.11.patch.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.19/mediawiki-i18n-1.19.11.patch.g… Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html ********************************************************************** Extension:PdfHandler ********************************************************************** Information and Download: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PdfHandler
