Hi. My understanding is that wp-mirror sets up a MediaWiki instance for rendering the mirror. One solution would be to set up 404-thumb rendering. This makes it so that instead of pre-rendering the needed thumbs, MediaWiki will render the thumbs on-demand whenever the web browser requests a thumb. There's some instructions for how this works at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Thumb.php This is probably the best solution to your problem. Otherwise, MW needs to know what thumbs are needed for all pages, which involves parsing pages (e.g. via refreshLinks.php). This is a very slow process. If you already had all the thumbnail's generated, you could just copy over the thumb directory perhaps, but I'm not sure where you would get a pre-generated thumb directory. -- -bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
