Hi all,
Apologies for asking about something that is un-Wiki-ish, and maybe a
FAQ (but I couldn't find answers in the archives).
I need a "collaborative publication site". I.e. there's a group of
(non-tech) people who want to collaboratively write a series of texts,
and they want the texts to be readable as they are being created and edited.
The writers actually form several groups, each of which is working on
one set of pages (people may be members of more than one group, and
pages may be writable for more than one group, i.e. there's no clear
hierarchical structure).
Finally, there's demand for "strictly internal" scratch pads, i.e. pages
that aren't even readable unless you're logged in as a member of a
specific group.
My idea was to have "user groups" in the wiki, and a per-page list of
groups that may read or write it.
The docs were of limited help. A remark somewhere in them reads "it's
possible to do your own permission scheme", but I found nothing that
supported that claim. In fact all the permission stuff that's in
Mediawiki seems to be hardcoded, at least a few quick greps indicated so.
My questions are:
How do I go ahead?
Are there better ways to achieve what we want?
I'm willing to do (limited) PHP coding, and I can change the database
schema at a whim.
(My primary profession is that of a software engineer, in case you
wonder ;-)... )
Regards,
Jo
Hi there, folks
I'm running MediaWiki at MusicWiki (temporarily at
http://www.plugitin.com.br/wiki ). I was wondering how to enable endings
blending to the links (e.g. turning [[some link]]s into [[some links]]
automatically at article-viewing time).
I've seen this feature at MediaWiki's manual
(http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide:_Editing_overview#L…),
but could not make it work at MusicWiki.
My environment, as stated by Special:Version is:
MediaWiki <http://wikipedia.sf.net/> (/http://wikipedia.sf.net//):
1.3.0beta4
PHP <http://www.php.net/> (/http://www.php.net//): 4.3.4 (apache)
MySQL <http://www.mysql.com/> (/http://www.mysql.com//): 3.23.49-log
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I just found the bug report 976568 on Sourceforge reporting this error
message:
[pear_error: message="failed to open stream: Operation not permitted"
code=0 mode=return level=notice prefix="" info=""]
Reading the bug report comments, I recall that we did experience a
problem (with another system) at our hosting when /tmp became full. This
was resolved by writing the logfile elsewhere.
So I tried changing PHPTAL-NP-0.7.0/libs/PHPTAL.php to replace line 72:
define('PHPTAL_DEFAULT_CACHE_DIR', '/tmp/');
to point to a /tmp directory in our wiki file structure - but produced
the same pear_error message.
How can I ensure MediaWiki is using PHPTAL instead of the local
PEAR.php?
Thanks

Subject: PEAR error on install of 1.3beta4
Date: Sun, 18 Jul 2004 13:23:06 +0100
Hi,
I'm getting a PEAR error after successfully installing MediaWiki
1.3beta4 at our remote site. We don't have console access to the site,
so I'm not sure how to correct this.
Everything goes fine until ".. then follow this link to your wiki." I
moved LocalSettings.php, then on clicking the link to /index.php we see
the following error:
[pear_error: message="failed to open stream: Operation not permitted"
code=0 mode=return level=notice prefix="" info=""]
Any ideas will be welcome!
Thanks in advance,
John Ingleby

I hope you don't think this request is against the spirit of Wiki. I have
a mediaWiki site for doctors, and I need to prevent unauthorised access to
the pages. I've already prevented non-registered users from viewing or
editing pages - now I need to prevent all and sundry from registering and
hence becoming users. What is the easiest way of going about this?
Many thanks

Hello,
i have a little (big) problem with PHPTal.
I have build a site using the PHPTal Tags from the monobook skin. But i became
an error message like:
[pear_error: message="XML_ERROR_TAG_MISMATCH in
/var/www/web405/html/sfcommunity/database/templates/xhtml_slim.pt around line
31" code=0 mode=return level=notice prefix="" info=""]
In line 31 theres only HTML Code, no TAL Tags... but if i remove the Image Tag,
the error jumps down to line 38, the next image Tag... the PHPTal Documentation
doesnt help me :/
Concerned code: http://www.ghettoworld.de/gfx/temp/example.txt
Can anyone help me a little? Is there any german speaking Mediawiki Mailinglist
available?
CU & thx
Denis

I have installed 1.3.0beta4 and run the .sql scripts necessary to
upgrade my db.
When I go to my index, I get this:

Like 1.2.6, it is looking for the php files in the wrong places. is
there any way to stop mediawiki from having hard-coded or incorrect
script links?
Thanks,

On Wikipedia sometimes there is an announce box asking for donations or
telling users about anticipated downtime or whatever. I'm sure it's in the
docs, if I look, but how do I do that? Is it a case of playing with the
templates, or is it a setting in LocalSettings.php or what?
Thanks in advance,

Does anyone know if there is a way to get a text-only list of all the
pages on the wiki (or at least the default namespace) through a URL?
Something like Special:All_pages?action=raw that would just spit it out.
The reason I'm asking is I was in turn asked for this by someone who
wants to implement LocalNames
(http://onebigsoup.wiki.taoriver.net/moin.cgi/LocalNames) for the wiki I
host.
Thanks,
