Hi,
I try ton install MediaWiki 1.17.0 on Free in France, and I get the message
"PHP 5.1.3RC4-dev is installed. But MediaWiki requires PHP 5.2.3 or newer."
So what can I do? Install previous version of MediaWiki or is there another solution?
cheers
Klaus
If you haven't tried it yet, please give the release candidate a try:
http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.18/mediawiki-1.18.0rc1.tar.gz
If you've tried it out and found a problem, please let us know.
But, if it works for you, please let us know that, too.
For example, I upgraded a MediaWiki site that I maintain from 1.15 to
1.18. Except for some trouble with the customized skin, things went
smoothly.
I added my report to
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_roadmap/1.18/Installation_reports
but it is looking pretty lonely right now. Please add your own
experience.
Thanks,
Mark.
Hey all, I got a question according to performance of extension I am
working on, it's called Online Status Bar (source is in trunk/extensions/),
this extension is supposed to display status of users, who have it enabled
in preferences, somewhere on userspace (talk, userpace, etc.)
The current design of feature is that:
there is a table which has two columns, username, timestamp it is using as
engine memory because I believe it would work faster. (however I am not a
dba, so I don't know if it has significant performace improvement)
Users who do not have this enabled in preferences do never update this
table so I think there shouldn't be problem, however:
Users who have it enabled - everytime when they open any page on wikipedia,
it look up if they are present in the table (select using their username),
if it returns nothing, it insert them to table (1 write), if they are
present, it compare timestamp with current time and variable which contains
write-delay, it's 5 minutes as default and thanks to that, the table is
updated only in worst case every 5 minutes, or later (so if user refresh a
page like twice a minute it should only do 2 selects, no write), however
every 5 minutes it should write to that status table (update timestamp).
If someone open a userpage of that user, it should do max 2 selects in
order to detect the online status. (in case that user who look up the
status has also this feature enabled, otherwise 1 select)
The table is also supposed to be periodicaly cleaned (expired records), so
it's supposed to be very small.
So, does anyone have any suggestion to make it even faster? Ian Baker told
me that there could be some use of cache, however I am not really sure how
to implement it, what do you think about this conception, is there any way
to make it simpler and keep its functionality as it is?
I don't know if this is a correct place to ask, I don't know if there is
some mediawiki forum where I could ask which would be more suitable.
Thanks
sumanah from #mediawiki suggested that I post here. I set up SVG support on
my wiki, and I got the javascript links to rendered PNG images working to.
But, I noticed a few problems:
* SVG images distorted when thumbnails are generated using normal wiki image
link syntax.
* I also discovered that when I clicked on the link javascript links to
rendered PNG images, 404 errors were returned. This happens for ALL kinds of
images when scaling is requested via URL.
In troubleshooting this I got as far as finding some info about thumb.php
and htaccess rewrite rules that are supposed to redirect the 404 URLs to
thumb.php so the images can be generated. It's all greek to me, and I'm
surprised it isn't working by default on my wiki.
I have no idea why the SVG images are being rendered all weird.
ImageMagick's /usr/bin/convert seems to be configured correctly in
localsettings.php, and I don't see any problems.
You can have a look at the bizarreness here (login Demo/test):

Note that the 200px URL resize link works because that image was generated
with a wiki link, and was cached. It was generated all skewed too...

Hi,
I am using mediawiki 1.17 with vector skin.
Want to remove the sidebar from all pages permanently so that all contents will be shown in 100% width
