Re: [MediaWiki-l] Short URLs with Apache on Sabayon Linux

[Brenton Horne]

I'll be damned it worked. I added:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]

to default_vhost.include between the  tags and now my short URL
works. Thanks a million, mate!

No *.conf files in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d contains DocumentRoot
"/var/www/localhost/htdocs" but a file called default_vhost.include in this

[MediaWiki-l] Short URLs with Apache on Sabayon Linux

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I'm running Sabayon Linux (64-bit, up to date with all updates -- it's a
rolling release system to version numbers are irrelevant) and while I
managed to install MW 1.25.2 on it successfully I cannot seem to shorten
URLs properly. My MediaWiki base directory (i.e., the one with index.php,
LocalSettings.php, etc. in it) is /var/www/localhost/htdocs/w and I am
using MariaDB as my RDBMS, if relevant. To shorten my URL (from w/index.php
to wiki) I added:

AllowOverride All
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]

to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and added:

$wgScriptPath = "/w";
$wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";
$wgUsePathInfo = true;

to my LocalSettings.php file. I also ran:

systemctl restart apache2
php maintenance/update.php

after this. I then opened up http://localhost/wiki/Linux_Wiki (my main
page) in Google Chrome and got a page with the error message:

This web page is not available
> ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED


I also tried opening up http://localhost/w/index.php/Linux_Wiki (where my
main page was prior to the URL shortening attempt) and got a page with the
same error message. Is there anything I have missed here? Btw, I had opened
up http://localhost/w/index.php/Linux_Wiki in Google Chrome prior to the
shortening attempt without issue, if you're wondering whether this was a
pre-existing problem. Sabayon if you are unfamiliar is a Gentoo derivative.

[MediaWiki-l] Issues starting the httpd.service daemon on Manjaro Linux

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I've been following the following two guides on how to install MediaWiki on
Arch Linux (which is so similar to Manjaro that I'd expect these
instructions to be applicable to Manjaro too):


   1. MediaWiki - ArchWiki 
   2. Running MediaWiki on Arch Linux - MediaWiki
   

(1) has been my primary source for instruction as it is more up to date
than its counterpart @ mediawiki.org. I managed to follow (1) to the point
of restarting the httpd.service daemon without issue, but at restarting
this daemon I got the error:

Job for httpd.service failed because the control process exited with error
code. See "systemctl status httpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

I then ran the instructions given in this method. systemctl status
httpd.service gives:

[MediaWiki-l] How to check whether a variable is a date or not

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I'm creating my own custom version of Wikimedia Common's Information
template  for my
local wiki. My local wiki uses D M  dates (where `M` is month name).
The issue is that I commonly copy files across from commons to my wiki via
Pywikibot (namely its `imagetransfer.py` script) and they commonly use ISO
dates, so I want to make my information template check whether the date
field is a time or not, or whether it contains a time, then if it is a time
or contains a time send the time given through the `{{#time:j F Y}}` parser
to ensure it is in D M  format, but I do not know how to do this. Can
someone, per chance, help me with this? Even if you could tell me how to
check, in wikitext, using perhaps a parser function, whether a variable is
even a time that would be a help. Although, if someone knows how to
separate parts of a date field into time and comments and then send the
time part through this parser function I will be even more grateful.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton

Thanks, Arcane, while I've got your attention I wouldn't suppose you could
tell me how's it's going with my GitHub extension feature request (

It's not a particularly tricky extension, unlike that Jmol extension I

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Free MediaWIki hosting sites

[Brenton Horne]

Thanks Frodo, these sites are the best I've come across so far but do any
of them allow shell access? See I have a local wiki I would like to
transfer to this online Wiki, via running `php maintenance/importDump.php`
on the XML dump of my local wiki. I have tried importing via Special:Import
but the dump is far too large for this to work.

[MediaWiki-l] CharInsert extension

HI,

I just asked a question about extending the functionality of the CharInsert
extension at StackOverflow (
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31376229/how-do-i-modify-the-mediawiki-charinsert-extension-to-enable-the-insertion-of-wi),
if anyone in this mailing list is interested. I think I may have asked a
similar question in this mailing list a matter of months ago, so if anyone

Hi,

I have been working on a Wiki (MediaWiki-based, ofc) on the topic of Linux
& related topics (e.g., software that can be run on Linux machines and
other operating systems) on my Ubuntu machine for some time. I have
Lua-based infoboxes (including Infobox OS
, Infobox software
, Infobox file
format ) that
are modified versions of those found on the English Wikipedia and under the
"Family" field of Infobox OS I would like to be able to show some hierarchy
(*Unix-like -> Linux -> Debian -> Ubuntu* for Ubuntu, for example). I have
seen the HierarchyBuilder
 extension but I
was wondering if anyone is aware of a way of showing hierarchy without
depending on an unstable extension like this one?

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Free MediaWIki hosting sites

[Brenton Horne]

I hadn't but I have now, thanks. But from what I've gathered so far it is
similar to Orain Wiki (e.g., you have to request extra extensions or other
features), except its MW version is the latest stable version (I think it's
1.23.1), its default extensions are different, and there are some paid
features whereas Orain is wholly free. So it doesn't quite do what I want.
See I would like to be able to upload my entire Wiki to the site
(extensions, skins, LocalSettings.php, & all) and basically do everything I
do with my local wiki (like being able to run php
maintenance/scriptname.php, dump the MySQL database, change the logo as I
wish, etc.), except in a place on the internet where others can view and
edit the Wiki too.

[MediaWiki-l] Free MediaWIki hosting sites

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I would like to ask if anyone knows of a free MediaWiki hosting site that
gives one complete control over one's Wiki. I know of Orain Wiki, ShoutWiki
and Wikia but they all give fairly limited over the MediaWiki software
itself. Basically the website I'm looking for is one that provides a place
for my own local Wiki installation on the web for free.

[MediaWiki-l] Building advanced wiki searches.

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I would like to allow advanced searches on my Local Wikis (MySQL 
databases: HMWiki, Linux_Wiki) and I was wondering which MediaWiki 
extensions will allow me to do this. Now I realize what I'm saying so 
far is casting my net a bit wide so odds are many of you won't know what 
to recommend so I'm going to give some examples of what I want to be 
able to do with such a search:


* Enable searching specific parts of pages like its title, 
category(ies), section(s), section(s) titles, body (i.e., the text other 
than the page's title), etc. Instead of searching the entire page the 
way Wiki searches do by default.


* Support for Boolean operators (e.g., AND, OR, ANDNOT, etc.) between 
search criteria (e.g., I would like to search for pages belonging to 
more than one category. For example, I would be looking for pages 
belonging to category $1 AND category $2 AND category $3).


Now my experience with this mailing list tells me not to expect a 
response here for days at least. But I also know that this list also 
gets about 2-10 messages per day, depending on the day. I don't want my 
email server to get packed with emails that I'm not interested in (as 
I'm afraid I'm pretty useless as far as helping others with issues 
relating to MW, I'm really just here to receive help not to provide it) 
so I will stay on this list for probably at most a week: if you send a 
reply and get no answer from me within a 12 hours odds are I won't be 
receiving emails from this list any more so it would be best to just 
send your emails to my email address: brentonhorn...@gmail.com 
.



   Further information

* MediaWiki version: 1.25.1.
* MySQL, PHP, Lua (I have the Scribunto extension enabled on both 
Wikis), Apache, /etc./ are all maintained as the latest versions 
available for the operating system specified below.

* Operating system: 32 bit Ubuntu 15.04.
* Understanding of PHP and other programming languages used in 
MediaWiki: novice. Use simple English please. I can follow simple 
instructions, like add these lines to this file and save it here, but if 
you give me a task without explicit step-by-step instructions odds are I 
won't be able to follow ya.

[MediaWiki-l] Updating WikiEditor; consequent loss of WikiEditor and Edittools gadget

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I ran

|git clone https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-WikiEditor.git|

and removed the contents of the existing folder 
//localhost/extensions/WikiEditor/ in my local Wiki installation 
replacing it with the contents of the Github download. I noticed 
WikiEditor quit working then so I ran the update script in the hope of 
getting it to work again:


||php update.php

and now WikiEditor isn't working (i.e., it isn't showing in the edit 
window). This (http://i.imgur.com/9nQvBry.png) is a screenshot showing 
the Chrome JavaScript console when viewing an edit page (i.e., one with 
?action=edit in the address bar). Edittools isn't showing either (i.e., 
the box containing insertable symbols [enabled by the charinsert 
extension below the edit box), if any further info is required for you 
to help me with this problem, please ask. If you want a ngrok tunnel 
opened please do ask and I'll open it as soon as I see the message (and 
I will send a reply confirming this), it's just odds are it'll only be 
possible for me to open it for a few hours at a time so if you ask me be 
prepared to do all you need with it immediately after sending the 
request for me to open it.

texvc was installed via following instructions here [1

in the directory extensions/Math/math/ created via following these 
instructions. I also have LaTeX installed on my PC via MiKTeX, currently 
my path variable points to C:\Program Files\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64 (where

[MediaWiki-l] Images in Lua infobox

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I have an infobox (created using XML exporting Wikipedia's Lua-based 
infobox [template 
, module 
]) with the 
following image-related field contents:


|image1  ={{#ifeq:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|Template:Drugbox 
(Lua)||[[File:{{{image|{{{Image1|{{{image1|{{{Drug|{{{drug|}}}{{#if:{{{format|{{{Format|}}|{{{format|{{{Format|}}|.svg}}|{{{size|{{{size1|400}}px]]}}

|caption1={{{caption|{{{Caption|{{{caption1|{{{Caption1|

|image2 
 ={{#if:{{{image2|{{{Image2|}}|[[File:{{{image2|{{{Image2|}}|center|{{{size2|{{{Size2|200}}px]]}}{{#if:{{{image2L|{{{Image2L|}}|[[File:{{{image2L|{{{Image2L|}}|left|{{{size2L|200}}}px||{{{caption2L|{{{Caption2L|}}]]}}{{#if:{{{image2R|{{{Image2R|}}|[[File:{{{image2R|{{{Image2R|}}|right|{{{size2R|200}}}px||{{{caption2R|{{{Caption2R|}}]]}}

|caption2={{{caption2|{{{Caption2|}}

The second image field is designed to allow a single image (specified by 
image2) or (in the Boolean logic meaning of the word) two images 
(specified by image2L, image2R) side-by-side to appear if provided. The 
problem I am having is that the caption fields, caption2L and caption2R, 
do not appear in the output as captions for image2L and image2R. Now, if 
you are thinking, "Oh you're missing the 'thumb' field for these two 
side-by-side images." My reply is that I don't want thumbnails in my 
infobox, as they come with a border around them that I do _not_ want. 
The reason for the two || after the size specification in these image 
fields is that I had already tried a single | and it failed to do what I 
wanted, so I decided to add it in the hope that it was due to the 
position of the caption fields in the [[...]] that the captions were 
being ignored.


If you need further details please ask.

[MediaWiki-l] How do I install curl on Windows 7 such that elastic search can then be installed?

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I have been trying to install CirrusSearch on my local wiki and to do so 
I understand I need to install elastic search (which requires curl I 
believe).


I downloaded the zip file containing the .exe file for Curl on 64 bit 
Windows (i.e., 
http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.33.0-win64-nossl.zip), unzipped it, 
and ran the .exe file with no results except the command prompt window 
popped up momentarily (so quickly I didn't even see what it said). I 
downloaded ElasticSearch from 
https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.4.4.zip, 
unzipped it and ran the /bin/elasticsearch.bat file in it from the 
command prompt and also (as this returned the result: |The system cannot 
find the path specified.|) by double-clicking it with no clear results. 
I also ran:

|
||"...curl.exe" -X http://localhost/|

From the command prompt (where ... is the file location of the curl 
windows download I just mentioned and extracted) which returned the result:

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: localhost:127.0.0.1

It should work as it's built-in to MediaWiki core... what are you seeing

extensions/ directory and added
|require_once("extensions/QuickLink/QuickLink.php")| to

seeing how it was last edited 4 or so years ago.

Any alternatives to this extension that suggest links after [[ is typed

gladly welcomed. Keep in mind I am using WikiEditor and WikEd and do not
intend on removing them from my MediaWiki installation.

Re: [MediaWiki-l] QuickLink extension not working with MediaWiki 1.24.1

[Brenton Horne]

Thanks, but it doesn't seem to be compatible with WikEd because when it 
is active it doesn't load, whereas when I disable it, it appears to work 
perfectly. Any ideas of how to overcome this problem?

Subject: [MediaWiki-l] QuickLink extension not working with MediaWiki 1.24.1

Hi,

Extension:QuickLink (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:QuickLink)
isn't working on MediaWiki 1.24.1 for me. When I type [[ brackets no
link suggestions appear (in fact I don't see any evidence of it being
installed besides its appearance on Special:Version, even though I
downloaded the zip file, extracted its contents, moved them to the
extensions/ directory and added
|require_once("extensions/QuickLink/QuickLink.php")| to
LocalSettings.php). This isn't surprising that QuickLink no longer works
seeing how it was last edited 4 or so years ago.

Any alternatives to this extension that suggest links after [[ is typed
in source mode or any ways to get QuickLink to work for me will be
gladly welcomed. Keep in mind I am using WikiEditor and WikEd and do not
intend on removing them from my MediaWiki installation.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton

[MediaWiki-l] Setting collapsed content (contained in divs) to match the width of the cell it is in

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I used to include something like:

   |{{{!}} class = "mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable"||
   || ! {{{content name|}}} ||
   ||{{!}}- ||
   ||{{!}} {{{content|}}} ||
   ||{{!}}}|

   ||

in infoboxes where content is too large to include the normal way but 
this used to cause parsing problems often leaving a right brace } after 
the collapsed content. Now I use:|

|

   |{{{content|}}}|
   ||

as it doesn't seem to come with the same issues but I would like to know 
if there's an automated way of setting the |col_width| to the width of 
the column it is included in. I tried:


   |{{#expr:{{{width|300}}}-{{{titlew|80}px|||
   ||

(where width is the width of the box and titlew is the width of the 1st 
[label] column; the nos are their defaults) but it seemed to get the 
whole thing (i.e., the  object) invisible. Any ideas 
of how I can do this?

[MediaWiki-l] Automated downloading all files in a set category or article on a Wikimedia project or Wikia site

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I suspect this question will not have as elegant an answer as I'd like 
but I was wondering if anyone in this mailing lists knows an easy (like 
easy enough for someone with as little programming understand as myself) 
automated way of downloading all the files in a category or an article 
on a Wikimedia project/Wikia site. I am running windows 7 (64 bit) SP1 
if it is relevant, although I do have access to a Linux command line 
(namely cygwin 64 bits) if needed.


I have seen 
|http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_download_all_image_files_in_a_Wikimedia_Commons_page_or_directory| 
but it didn't help me as at the |WIKI_LINKS| step I received an error 
that there was no such page on Wikimedia Commons.


If you would like a specific example to work with (i.e., a specific 
category to write a code to download from) try the Wikimedia Commons 
category Histopathology 
(|https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Histopathology|). Dw I 
know this download will take a while due to the number and size of the 
files involved.

[MediaWiki-l] Adding Special:PrefixIndex/FULLPAGENAME to tools section of sidebar

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I've posted a question on StackOverflow on this topic 
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28677871/how-do-i-add-specialprefixindex-fullpagename-to-the-toolbox-in-my-local-mediawi) 
and I think I may be able to answer the question myself, if someone 
would tell me what the full page name variable is in JavaScript and how 
to insert a JavaScript variable like this into strings like


'http://127.0.0.1/mediawiki/index.php/Special:PrefixIndex/'

I have done some research into JavaScript, which is what inspired me to 
ask this question because I knew that quotation marks "" substitute 
variable names with their variable value leaving the rest of what is in 
them as a string, whereas apostrophes like ' ' render everything inside 
them as a string. So I initially tried to define the page name variable 
using:


|var  page=  mw.config.get(  'wgPageName'  );|

then I defined the URL string 
|'http://127.0.0.1/mediawiki/index.php/Special:PrefixIndex/'"page"| then 
I thought I must have screwed up with my quotation marks vs. apostrophes 
and their roles in JS so I switched the apostrophes for quotation marks 
and vice versa, but this didn't solve my problem.

[MediaWiki-l] SideBarMenu extension

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I've tried to install the SideBarMenu extension 
(https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SideBarMenu). This is how I 
went about it (note the software/extension links are all download link 
so if you open them in your browser be prepared to download them):


1. I installed composer by running this binary
   https://getcomposer.org/Composer-Setup.exe. No apparent errors were
   encountered. When it prompted me for php.exe I used the php.exe of
   my MediaWiki installation namely
   |C:\Bitnami\mediawiki-1.24.1-0\php\php.exe.|
2. I downloaded the zip directory for the extension via this link:
   
https://codeload.github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-SideBarMenu/zip/c1730e2ebb9fb731288fbc01592bc149b1778625.
   I then unzipped it, renamed the directory SideBarMenu and
   copy-pasted it to |...\extensions|. I then added
   |require_once("extensions/SidebarMenu/SidebarMenu.php"); |to
   |LocalSettings.php|. Which was what the extension page I linked
   earlier told me to do.
3. I then opened up a page on the local mediawiki installation with
   this content: |SideBarMenu requires extension ParamProcessor. |
4. I then downloaded the zip file for ParamProcessor here
   https://codeload.github.com/JeroenDeDauw/ParamProcessor/zip/master,
   extracted its contents, copy-pasted it to
   |C:\Bitnami\mediawiki-1.24.1-0\php| (where it was in its own
   directory ...\ParamProcessor). I then added ||

   |"require": {|||
   |||"/Bitnami/mediawiki-1.24.1-0/php/ParamProcessor/param-processor":
   "~1.0"|||
   |||}|
   to
   |C:\Bitnami\mediawiki-1.24.1-0\php\PEAR\AWSSDKforPHP\Composer.json|
   as the READEME.md file that came with it said I should and reloaded
   the same page on my Wiki to receive the same error.

Now I am left asking if anyone knows how I could overcome this error.

[MediaWiki-l] Extensions/Gadgets that assist in template field-filling

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I know that on Wikia sites there's a tool available when editing in the
Visual Editor that allows one to choose from all the templates on the Wikia
site, and when one selects the template one wishes to use it loads the
fields for said template and allows one to edit them all in this pop-up
window before embedding this template into the article. It makes inserting
several-input templates like infoboxes far easier and I was wondering if
something like this existed for local MediaWikis when operating in source
mode. I was wondering if it might be possible, for instance (like if
something different to this is possible I'm still happy to hear it), if the
WikiEditor extension (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiEditor)
could be given an additional tool with these capabilities.

If you're wondering what I mean by this "tool" for inserting templates see
http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Templates#Adding_pre-existing_templates
.

Brenton

[MediaWiki-l] Citation templates & ISO dates

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I've got a great dislike for ISO dates but I've copied the citation 
templates of Wikipedia and their Lua modules which allow ISO dates and 
leave them as is in the final rendering of the template. So I would like 
to know if there is any way I can edit them such that they automatically 
change all the dates currently not in full length format (e.g., 20 
February 2015 for today) into this full-length format. The reason why 
this question is relevant is that sometimes I use Zotero to do my 
Wikipedia citation templates and whenever I'm citing a journal from 
PubMed they use ISO dates (e.g., 2015-02-20 for today).

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Correcting errors

[Brenton Horne]

You know it would make things a LOT easier if we could access your wiki.

OK, ngrok is running again, so the tunnel should be open for you to view.

I figured out the problem on the Upload:Chemistry page, it was that 
|addOnloadHook| was a deprecated JavaScript function that was succeeded 
by |jQuery |and MediaWiki:Common.js was where I had inadvertently added 
this function in an effort to customize the sidebar following this 
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Manual:Interface/Sidebar&oldid=1384038#Add_or_remove_toolbox_sections_.28JavaScript.29 
guide. I have since corrected this error, and edited the MediaWiki 
article accordingly.


Presently I am trying to get a self-made widget working, and trying to 
decipher the errors I am getting. This widget is at Widget:Marvin (i.e., 
http://521b63dd.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/Widget:Marvin) and its 
implementation at User:Brenton 
(http://521b63dd.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/User:Brenton). Marvin is 
a Widget I hope will embed a Marvin JS applet into articles. The files 
(which were downloaded from 
http://dl.chemaxon.com/marvinjs/15.2.16/marvinjs-15.2.16-all.zip) are in 
the |.../Marvin| directory where |...| is the MediaWiki directory where 
|index.php| is, for instance. I was basing the Widget page on 
https://marvinjs-demo.chemaxon.com/latest/docs/dev/embed.html as I 
understand that Widgets are meant to embed HTML codes into Wiki pages.

[MediaWiki-l] Marvin Extension

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a new extension that enables the embedding of
MarvinSketch Java applets (I have a marvin.js file, along with several .jar
files that came with one of their free downloads.
http://dl.chemaxon.com/marvin/15.2.9.0/marvin-all-15.2.9.0.zip is what I
downloaded and extracted) into articles. This Marvin download came with
several examples of how the applets could be embedded into HTML files and
the proper syntax in HTML and I was wondering if there was some way of
using this knowledge to create PHP files for a Marvin extension
(Marvin.body.php, Marvin.php. I am neglecting Marvin.i18n.php as my Wiki is
only in English and it just makes it simpler if I can leave this bit out).
I have made pretty lousy efforts, but I really don't know what I'm doing. I
have read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Developing_extensions if
you're wondering, but it didn't really help me as I know little about PHP.
Like I know some really basic things like that:

   - variables start with $
   - each line is ends with ;
   - the file needs to start with 
   - What appears between /* */ and after // is not rendered.
   - Blocks are pieces of code that are executed together.
   - Functions take variables and give an output and are ended with return.
   - " " evaluates variables
   - echo " " hands whatever is between the quotation marks to be rendered
   as HTML.


Despite this I am determined to do at least some of this coding myself, but
I could do with some help, if possible. See I am basing these PHP files on
those of the JSmol extension (namely, the one created by Jaime Prilusky @
http://proteopedia.org/wiki/support/JSmolExtension/JSmolExtension.zip) and
without annotated notes in the PHP file it is difficult to know what I
should copy in my Marvin PHPs and which I should not.

So what I would like to know is:

* If my idea of basing it on the JSmol extension's PHP files is the way to
go. If not, what better way(s) exist. Please give me detailed examples of
these better ways as otherwise I'll be stuck with my PHP ignorance.
* If basing it on JSmol is a decent way to do this then the purpose of each
function listed in Jmol.php and Jmol.body.php would be helpful.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton

[MediaWiki-l] Lua-based infoboxes

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I've been working with infoboxes based on Lua modules taken (copy-pasted,
no changes) from Wikipedia. The base template is Template:Infobox (Lua) which
has the same code as Template:Infobox on Wikipedia (which can be viewed
here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox?action=raw). One of the
infoboxes I've based on this template has no row 6 (i.e., label 6, data6 do
not appear in the table when rendered), this is the code this infobox
(which is called DBox, if you'd like a name to call it) has:
http://521b63dd.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/Template:DBox?action=raw.
label6 and data6 are the eMedicine rows, if you're wondering. If you need
to check up on these extra templates or the modules I'm working here's the
ngrok link: http://521b63dd.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/. Here's an
example of its implementation:
http://521b63dd.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/Epilepsy if you'd like to see
what's the problem.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton

[MediaWiki-l] Enabling special character file names

[Brenton Horne]

Hi

I'd like to allow special characters in file names on my Wiki. For example,
currently I'd like some file names to include Greek letters like alpha and
beta. In order to avoid being accused of using this list as my personal
"Google" I am giving you the details of all my searches of Google and
Wikimedia sites. I have checked https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T3780 but
I couldn't see any solutions to this problem. I was going to try
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T3780#60419 but after I searched
SpecialUpload.php I did not find anywhere in the file with

> if( $this->saveUploadedFile(

in it, hence I couldn't even give it a try (granted that posted made almost
8 years ago).

I also found https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/FileBackend after searching for
FileBackend, as it was a popular topic in this thread, in a MediaWiki
search but I hadn't the foggiest how it applied to what I wanted. I also
saw
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4138705/mediawiki-special-characters-in-file-name-issue
but I haven't a clue what the accepted answer meant for me.

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Email confirmation

[Brenton Horne]

It works (namely instructions here 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSMTP) for just my email, I was 
hoping to enable email confirmation for other users, without having to 
manually add all their email addresses to localsettings.php. Btw which 
of my previous questions do you think I could get the answer from 
Google? Because if you have an answer for them I'd like to hear it. I 
have tried Google and MediaWiki before asking all these questions.

[MediaWiki-l] CS1 errors; how to remove undesired ones

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I've copy-pasted the Citation/CS1 module from Wikipedia (with some minor 
adjustments, like I wanted the dois to be listed before PMCs and PMIDs, 
which the original module didn't do on my Wiki), along with its 
dependencies. The problem is that on my Wiki we have month ranges in 
journal article cites, sometimes, e.g., September-October 2010 for this 
citation http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20622510 and this generates 
a CS1 error. If you need to see the source of this module see 
http://521b63dd.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/Module:Citation/CS1?action=raw. 
A list of its dependencies I copy-pasted can be found here: 
http://521b63dd.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Citation/CS1/. 
Here's an example of this date error 
http://521b63dd.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/Chimeric_monoclonal_antibody.


I don't understand Lua so please be patient with me.

[MediaWiki-l] MediaWiki:Edittools Javascript wrapping

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I've installed the edittools gadget on my local Wiki (taken from 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-Edittools.js) and now 
I'm customizing edittools (MediaWiki:Edittools, see 
http://521b63dd.ngrok.com/mediawiki/index.php/MediaWiki:Edittools to see 
it for yourself via ngrok), namely, by removing the special characters 
in it (as they're found in the WikiEditor I've installed) and adding 
templates with their doc pages hyperlinked in it. Unfortunately, this 
gadget treats all text the same getting them ready for insertion in the 
source editor, whereas I'd like the doc superscript to be left the way 
it is hyperlinked.


Here's a screenshot showing what I'm talking about (with a drawn in box 
around the doc superscript I'd like to be left without the formatting of 
the characters to be inserted) http://imgur.com/8CDjO1k.

[MediaWiki-l] Interwiki linking

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I've heard of the interwiki linking table and suffice it to say that the
MediaWiki article on this (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interwiki_table) wasn't exactly
helpful to me as a guide as to how to set them up. I would like someone to
boil it down into a group of simple steps for me to do whenever I want to
add interwiki links to my Wiki (I do have the extension installed if you're
wondering and it seems to work fine for interwiki links already defined
like [[Wikipedia:...]]). I'd also like acronyms (e.g., WP for Wikipedia) to
work as prefixes in interwiki links like they do on the Wikimedia projects.

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Inkscape for SVG thumbnailing

[Brenton Horne]

Aha! I found my solution for both thumbnailing problems (SVG and 
bitmap). I felt I'd share it in case someone else has a similar problem 
and reads this.


Here's a snippet of my |LocalSettings.php| file, namely the 
image-thumbnailing relevant part:


|# Image Converter|

|$wgSVGConverter = 'Inkscape';|

|
||$wgSVGConverters = array(|

| 'Inkscape' => '"/Program Files (x86)/Inkscape/inkscape.com" -z -w $width 
-f $input -e $output',|

|);|

|
||# Image converter path|

|$wgSVGConverterPath = '/Program Files (x86)/Inkscape';|

|
||## To enable image uploads, make sure the 'images' directory|

|## is writable, then set this to true:|

|$wgEnableUploads  = true;|

|$wgUseImageMagick = true;|

|$wgImageMagickConvertCommand = convert;

Hope this helps someone else,
Brenton

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Infobox formatting

This is no such info in the MediaWiki:Common.css page and I don't 
understand HTML well enough to really tell where the Infobox class is 
but I know where I found this formatting I wanted was a Wikia site and 
the infobox's code includes


|class="color1" colspan="2" style="text-align: center; padding:1em; 
font-size:120%" |{{{Box title|{{PAGENAMEF}
I think color1 is what I need. Any ideas of how to get this colouring 
option?

Most probably the template sets the color via a CSS class, that on the wiki
you got the template from lives in the 'MediaWiki:Common.css' page (you
must be logged in as sysop to edit this magic page, which sets additional
CSS style rules for your wiki).

If you can't find the relevant styles where you got the template, try
checking the HTML of the table for class names (you can use the developer
tools in your browser for this, in most browsers you can right-click on
something and select 'Inspect' or similar from the popup menu to open that
up). Once you have the class name you can write your own CSS styles to set
the blue background etc.

If you have trouble getting thumbnailing to work, you can disable the
server-side resizing by setting in LocalSettings.php:

This isn't ideal if your images are large photos because they'll be

screen-sized that should get you working for now.

Subject: [MediaWiki-l] Inkscape for SVG thumbnailing

Hi,

I'd like to know how I can use Inkscape for SVG thumbnailing on my

Windows

7 OS with a MediaWiki installation. Inkscape's files are located at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape. My efforts to date (mostly based on
Manual:$wgSVGConverters and other MediaWiki manual pages) have failed.
Currently my LocalSettings.php file's SVG-related settings are:

# Image Converter

$wgSVGConverter = 'Inkscape';
$wgSVGConverters = array(
 'Inkscape' => '"$path/inkscape.exe" -z -w $width -f $input -e

$output',

);
# Image converter path
$wgSVGConverterPath = '/Program Files (x86)/Inkscape';


This gives the following error (which appears in the thumbnail's

place):

Error creating thumbnail: '""' is not recognized as an internal or
external command,
operable program or batch file.


The reason I'd like Inkscape as my SVG thumbnailer in particular is

because

I sometimes use SVGs that are only correctly rendered by Inkscape (I

know

that Wikia's thumbnailer (whatever it might be) frequently makes

rendering

errors with these SVGs, e.g., see


http://health-and-medicine.wikia.com/wiki/File:Symptoms_of_Hodgkin_lymphoma.svg

[MediaWiki-l] Inkscape for SVG thumbnailing

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I'd like to know how I can use Inkscape for SVG thumbnailing on my Windows
7 OS with a MediaWiki installation. Inkscape's files are located at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape. My efforts to date (mostly based on
Manual:$wgSVGConverters and other MediaWiki manual pages) have failed.
Currently my LocalSettings.php file's SVG-related settings are:

# Image Converter
> $wgSVGConverter = 'Inkscape';
> $wgSVGConverters = array(
> 'Inkscape' => '"$path/inkscape.exe" -z -w $width -f $input -e $output',
> );
> # Image converter path
> $wgSVGConverterPath = '/Program Files (x86)/Inkscape';


This gives the following error (which appears in the thumbnail's place):

> Error creating thumbnail: '""' is not recognized as an internal or
> external command,
> operable program or batch file.


The reason I'd like Inkscape as my SVG thumbnailer in particular is because
I sometimes use SVGs that are only correctly rendered by Inkscape (I know
that Wikia's thumbnailer (whatever it might be) frequently makes rendering
errors with these SVGs, e.g., see
http://health-and-medicine.wikia.com/wiki/File:Symptoms_of_Hodgkin_lymphoma.svg
and all the black spots that appear in it.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton

Re: [MediaWiki-l] MediaWiki is not running

[Brenton Horne]

I'd love to but every time I've installed it from the tarballs in the past
I end up failing miserably. I installed LAMP, I followed all the
instructions online I could find but I failed on Windows and Ubuntu. This
is why I used bitnami as a last resort.

[MediaWiki-l] MediaWiki is not running

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I'm presently running Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit and I installed MediaWiki 1.24.1
via bitnami and it worked fine until I restarted my PC and now, even with
my servers (Apache & MySQL, respectively) running (which I checked were
running by running the manager-linux.run file in the MediaWiki directory. I
even restarted them both manually) whenever I open up
http://localhost:8080/mediawiki/ I get a blank page. Going to
http://localhost:8080/ or http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin works fine and
these pages load perfectly.

Thanks for your time,

Oh and PS, error 2 also occurs on the hm.orain.org site you set up for me.
I just tested out adding 3EIG to User:Fuse809/sandbox at
this site and the same error occurred.

[MediaWiki-l] Jmol errors

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I've installed the Jmol extension and I have noticed two major problems:

1. When uploading a pdb file at Special:Upload I receive the error:

> File extension ".pdb" does not match the detected MIME type of the file
> (text/plain).

Other chemical file extensions produce similar errors, including .sdf,
.cml, etc. Even though I have added:

> $wgFileExtensions = array( 'doc', 'docx', 'xls', 'xlsx', 'mpp', 'pdf',
> 'ppt', 'tiff', 'bmp', 'pptx', 'ps', 'odt', 'ods', 'odp', 'odg'
> , 'ogg', 'sdf', 'mol', 'pdb', 'xyz', 'mol2', 'svg', 'cml'
> );

to LocalSettings.php

2. Whenever I add  to an article (any article, even my
sandbox, i.e., User:Fuse809/sandbox),  or other Jmol
tags  and click "Save page" I'm left at a blank page
with the URL of
http://localhost:8080/mediawiki/index.php?title=PAGENAME&action=submit
(where PAGENAME is the page's name).

[MediaWiki-l] Adding a drop-down menu for monobook's sidebar

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I'm running a Wiki on Wikia (I have asked a question on the community 
forums [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:789971], some six days 
ago, with no reply, if you're wondering if that would be a better place 
to ask it) and I've love to be able to add a drop-down menu to 
monobook's sidebar, which I know is possible (see this screenshot of 
another Wikia wiki which has this drop-down menu 
http://community.wikia.com/wiki/File:Layton_Wiki,_drop-down_menu.png). 
Does anyone in this mailing list know how to do this? Please keep in 
mind I am a noob when it comes to programming so please, just give me 
simple, step-by-step, instructions on how to do this. I do have 
administrative privileges on the Wiki in question, so I can edit pages 
in the MediaWiki namespace, if need be.

Subject: [MediaWiki-l] Places I can set up my own MediaWiki website

Hi,

I've installed MediaWiki on my PC and I was wondering how I could turn
this installation into a website for free. Is this possible? I have
created a Wiki with Wikia but they have far less customization than that
allowed by MediaWiki software (e.g., the extensions they have are all
constant across the Wikia family of sites and while you could request
new ones from Wikia staff I have never seen a case where they actually
installed a new extension based on these requests, even for one single
Wiki) so hence why I'd like to know if I could set up my own
fully-customizable Wiki based on my current MediaWiki installation.

Subject: [MediaWiki-l] Cite, refToolbar and infobox

Hi,

I've added Cite and refToolbar to my Wiki but they aren't being loaded.
Cite was automatically in my extension directory immediately after
installation, so what I did was I added

require_once "$IP/extensions/Cite/SpecialCite.php";

To near the end of LocalSettings.php and while cite appears @
Special:Version it does not appear to be working. For example, citation
templates I've added to my Wiki are not organized into footnotes when
contained between   tags and these tags are, in fact, left
unparsed in articles.

As for refToolbar I added this extension (via copy-pasting the files
listed here
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:RefToolbar#Related_scripts]
into their respective MediaWiki namespace pages (including adding

* 
refToolbar[ResourceLoader|default|dependencies=user.options,mediawiki.legacy.wikibits]|refToolbar.js


* refToolbarBase[ResourceLoader|hidden|rights=hidden]|refToolbarBase.js

to MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition).  appears @
Special:Preferences under Gadgets and is ticked.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton

Re: [MediaWiki-l] SVG thumbnailing

[Brenton Horne]

librsvg didn't work. I've installed it via cygwin (I'm running Windows 7 
64 bit). I even directed MediaWiki (via $wgSVGConverterPath = 
'C:\cygwin64\usr\include\librsvg-2.0\librsvg';) towards the directory 
where it is installed. Any other ideas?

It looks like you're defaulting to converting SVGs using ImageMagick, which
can be a bit flaky (and there also seems to be a version mismatch where it
doesn't like the options being given to it.)

If you can, try switching the SVG renderer to rsvg, which is the tool we
use on Wikipedia:

* install 'librsvg' (and if necessary 'librsvg-bin') package on the system;
should be available in standard Linux package managers as it's a library
used by GNOME desktop. Also available through Homebrew on Macs. Not sure
about Windows. :)

* in LocalSettings.php set:

   $wgSVGConverter = 'rsvg';


As for the borders and such, you probably need to copy some CSS styles from
the [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] page from Wikipedia.

Hi,

I've noticed that SVG thumbnailing on my new locally-hosted Wiki is
thumbnailing svgs incorrectly. This is what it appears like atm when
incorporated into an infobox: http://i.stack.imgur.com/dRWkj.png.
Likewise I've also noticed there's no enclosing box around infoboxes in my
Wiki, which you can also see in this image. This is the sort of infobox
formatting I'd like http://i.stack.imgur.com/aI0Tx.png.

Thanks for your time,

[MediaWiki-l] Jmol Extensions

[Brenton Horne]

Hi

For some reason that escapes me after installing the Jmol extension via 
these instructions 
(https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Jmol#Installing_Jmol_extension) even 
though Jmol appears in Special:Version whenever I add 
3EIG or (R)-nicotine.sdf 
(R)-nicotine.sdf does exist on my Wiki, btw, if you're wondering) to a 
page and click "Publish" I'm left with a blank submit page (i.e., URL: 
.../pagename?action=submit).


Second, I'm stumped as to how I could add cif file uploads to my Wiki. 
I've seen this code on the same MediaWiki article I linked:


$wgXMLMimeTypes  =  array_merge(  $wgXMLMimeTypes,  array(
'http://www.xml-cml.org/schema:cml' =>  
'chemical/x-cml',
'http://www.xml-cml.org/schema:molecule'=>  
'chemical/x-cml',
'http://www.xml-cml.org/schema/cml2/core:list'  =>  
'chemical/x-cml',
'http://www.xml-cml.org/schema/cml2/core:molecule'  =>  
'chemical/x-cml'  )  );

But I don't know how to do something similar for Crystallographic 
Information File (CIF) files.

[MediaWiki-l] Parser functions

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I've noticed that parser functions are not enabled on my Wiki. For example
{{#if:}} is not appropriately rendered and appears unchanged in templates
in which it appears. How do I get them to work?
