I hope you would allow me. Thanks. I have a problem in fetching the actual raw data or the original article text in a wiki page. I looked into the database table 'wbt_searchindex' in mediawiki. I fetch 'si_text' knowing that it's the right one in fetching the original text of an article page. But, it's used for search function. What i wanted to fetch is the original text so i could use it in my Bikol Thesaurus. -How can I fetch the original article text on a wiki page? -In what database table is the original article text located? In the 'searchindex' table, the 'si_text' contains the u800 unicode character. -What does u800 really means? -What does u800 do? -What does u800 represents? Thanks. ^_^

I set the following variables in LocalSettings.php file. The 'ccs.adnu.edu.ph' is an intranet. It's our school's server so I can just access it within the school. $wgServerName = 'ccs.adnu.edu.ph';$wgServer = 'http://ccs.adnu.edu.ph'; Say if i am accessing my page outside the school, having the address of my main page http://ccs.adnu.edu.ph/wikibits/index.php/Main_Page, it can be viewed and is still accessible. But when I tried logging in, i am redirected to this address http://ccs/wikibits/index.php/Main_Page which is an invalid page. So, in this case, the $wgServer has the value of 'http://ccs'.How can i fix this properly? Thanks, guys. ^_^

Hmmm..now I am thinking if how will i use that method given the selected titles that i'll be using from the database table wbt_page. The page_title has underscores. I am thinking that i'll just strip off those underscores and replace them with spaces so it will look like title. Is it right? I think that there will be no differences with that, isn't it? And also, thanks for the information on the u800. Thanks. ^_^

Roan Kattouw <roan.kattouw <at> gmail.com> writes: I'll be trying the Title::newFromRow($row) method. ^_^ Thanks. I am thinking of using a foreach loop right now. Is it right?

Roan Kattouw <roan.kattouw <at> gmail.com> writes: I am still working on the Title::newFromRow($row) method to fetch the article titles. Anyway, how can i know the username logged in mediawiki? How can i use it in the php code? I would like to insert that value to a table field in my thesaurus. Thanks.^_^

Platonides <platonides <at> gmail.com> writes: Thanks. I used the User object. So, I have something like this: global $wgUser; $user = $wgUser->getName(); $wgOut->addHTML($user); I have another question but it's about special pages. Can i change the layout of a particular special page? I made a special page to be pop up window. I wanted to make a new layout for it. how can i make it? is it possible?

Now, I'll be doing that graph thing. ^_^ But, still I don't know how to do so using the renderTimeline() method. I hope it would be just simple an easy.

Platonides <platonides <at> gmail.com> writes: Thanks. I really needed your help.. especially with this one. I just encountered a big problem while ago.. :[ Now, I cannot proceed to the graph thing.. I must solve this big problem now.. My mentor and I just uploaded all my files in the web server so it can be accessed online. But, why is it that the special pages that i've included in the /extensions directory and all the changes i've made did not display? I've created special pages following the required files for making a special page. Did i do it right? All works fine in my localhost server... I think there's something to configure with the path in webserver.. Thanks a lot.^_^

Platonides <platonides <at> gmail.com> writes: Thanks a lot. Now, I cannot try those things you've said for the server im using is down right now. I hope it would be functioning sooner. I just hope so. :[ I'll try those things as soon as the server is on its good situation. I hope it will work fine. Just a few remarks. So, in the LocalSettings.php file, I'll be adding the line: $wgServer = 'http://www.example.com/wiki/'; Is it right? Again, thanks. I'll be back to you as soon as I've tried it out.

Platonides <platonides <at> gmail.com> writes: Thanks. But, still,i can't try those things you've said. The server to where my project is stored is still not operating :[ For the meantime, my friend let me access another server. So, i have uploaded my files there. After clicking my link, no main page was displayed instead it says: ==================================================================== MediaWiki requires PHP 5.0.0 or higher. You are running PHP 4.4.8. You may be able to use MediaWiki using a .php5 file extension. ==================================================================== We've checked that it's actually running php 5.2.6 and not php 4.4.8..How come it says it's running PHP 4.4.8. So, my friend can't help me with this one.. So, i can't fix the bug. :[ i wanna try those asap.

Platonides <platonides <at> gmail.com> writes: I tried accessing index.php5 yet it displayed errors. So, I tried installing mediawiki on that shared host server for at first I just uploaded my recent files on it. I was thinking the settings on the LocalSettings.php file aren't compatible on the server. When I tried re-installing it, on the Site Config Page, there were warnings stated below: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning: exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/lockhead/public_html/borj_thesis/wikibits/config/index.php on line 2005 Warning: array_map() [function.array-map]: Argument #2 should be an array in /home/lockhead/public_html/borj_thesis/wikibits/config/index.php on line 2010 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/lockhead/public_html/borj_thesis/wikibits/config/index.php on line 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, I wasn't able to install it. Well, this was just a temporary option which i wanna try while the real server i'm really using is located in our school. I can't access the server here in our house to fix some bugs for it can only be accessed within school. Our school was temporarily closed until this day. I hope i could access it this Thursday. Here is the link of my page http://ccs.adnu.edu.ph/wikibits/index.php/Main_Page In the navigation box, 'Bikol Literature' link is special page that I've made but it can't be displayed. There's something wrong with the path. I've changed also the background, look but the changes can't be displayed. :[ The server ccs.adnu.edu.ph is located in our school. This was the server to where i uploaded my files. Thanks.

Roan Kattouw <roan.kattouw <at> gmail.com> writes: Thanks for the response. Anyway, what I have in my code is like this: $wgSpecialPages['BikolLiterature'] = 'BikolLiterature'; Is it different from what you have just stated? Or is there a need to append 'Special' at the beginning of the special pagename? Still, I'm collecting possible solutions for my problem. I can't try them out now for I can't access the ccs.adnu.edu.ph server to fix some bugs. The server is located in our school and badly, our school is temporarily closed until now. Tomorrow, im hoping i could do so. But, thanks to you. I badly needed your help especially with the special pages not displaying properly. I must fix them all asap.:[ Again, thanks.

Roan Kattouw <roan.kattouw <at> gmail.com> writes: Thanks. What I have is something like this: $wgSpecialPages['BikolLiterature'] = 'BikolLiterature'; So, from what you've said, i got it right. Everything works well in my localhost. The only problem that I'm experiencing right now is that the special pages like the 'BikolLiterature' seems to be an invalid one with the uploaded in the http://ccs.adnu.edu.ph/wikibits/index.php/Special:BikolLiterature There's something wrong with the path. Platonides gave me some possible solutions as follows: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- If it's just http://localhost/wiki/ vs http://www.example.com/wiki/ the only thing you may need to change is $wgServer. If you have changed from http://localhost/wiki/ to something different like http://www.example.com/~kat/wiki/ look at $wgScriptPath and $ArticlePath. If you had rewrite rules, they may need to be checked. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Then, he added: $wgServer would be just 'http://www.example.com' See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgServer The 'folders' are on $wgScriptPath and $ArticlePath. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll be trying those as soon as i was able to access the server im using. If you have additional possible solutions, I'll really appreciate them all. I really needed your help, guys. Thanks! ^_^

I've tried a lot of possible solutions yet it didn't work out. :( I hope i can finish this in a minute. I can't proceed to testing of my wiki in 'ccs.adnu.edu.ph' server although i've tried it in localhost. I must make it work so other people can add words and meanings in my thesaurus. I'm running out of time.. :[ Thanks.
