Hi All, As it was discussed in here : http://amsn.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1177 A new WIKI for the users has been created. This means that we need to update all our links, the website link to the wiki, the redirect in faq.php, etc... What I did for now is move the current wiki (that we'll still use) to devwiki and have the new one in userwiki... now let me explain it better : the tikiwiki that we currently use will be kept for developers only, where only the developers can edit pages, its new URL will be http://amsn.sf.net/devwiki the mediawiki that I've just set up (same wiki as wikipedia) will be used and maintained by our users. It will mainly contain explanations on how to do stuff, which means that we'll have an article for almost anything we can think of, so no more "search the forums", it will be a "search the wiki" which our super-power users (Elias, NoWhereMan, and soon Gus-Arg and Fenix-TX) will be able to answer.. Elias and NWM are ready to rewrite most of the things already answered, and we'll be able to have a real, huge FAQ where everyone can help, article-based, where our users will feel confortable! :) Now, that new wiki has been placed in http://amsn.sf.net/userwiki as you can see from http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eliminating_index.php_from_the_url we can have a shorter name for the wiki, which means instead of having http://amsn.sf.net/wiki/index.php?title=Tcl we could have http://amsn.sf.net/wiki/Tcl for this, we need two dirs, one for the actual wiki, the other for the rewrite rule, which is why the wiki has been placed in htdocs/userwiki so the rewrite rule will rewrite /wiki into /userwiki Now, I didn't want to screw up our current system, so the htdocs/.htaccess file contains a rewrite rule for : http://amsn.sf.net/userwiki_short so, once everything has been set up, we'll just modify the .htaccess and put it into wiki/ remove the symlink from wiki/ to devwiki/ and we'll need to modify the wiki's article path so it doesn't get rewritten into userwiki/index.php?title=
Now, if you'll notice, we have 3 new symlinks, the htdocs/wiki/ -> htdocs/devwiki htdocs/userwiki/ ->/tmp/persistent/amsn/mediawiki-1.6.7 wiki_sessions/ -> /tmp/persistent/amsn/mediawiki-1.6.7/sessions the wiki_sessions symlinks are normal, I made them so we can actually log on and log out of the wiki (maybe that's why we can't log into tikiwki without the remember me option... the web server can't write the session files!!!!) but the other odd thing you'll find is that I made the whole mediawiki installation into /tmp/persistent instead of puttin it into /home/groups/a/am/amsn/htdocs and that's not because of a read/write permission issue, it's only because it allowed us to save 11MB of space from our 100MB limit on /home/groups/a/am/amsn :p so, in case you're lost, you know that the file's you're looking for are in /tmp/persistent/amsn/mediawiki-1.6.7 I made sure everyone has write permissions... btw, I kept the -1.6.7 in the dirname so we can easily know which version is installed and whether we need to upgrade... I also subscribed to the mediwiki release mailing list, so we should be fine... As you can see, as soon as you go into that new wiki.. we need a new logo!!!! so if Tom or Lee can make us a real nice logo that would blend in with the wiki (I tried to crop the logos we have on the website but the blue background makes it not blend at all), that would be terrific. Tell me when you've done the changes.
