Hi all,
I'm an enthusiast in MediaWiki Development and I'm having some troubles
starting off. I have been administering MediaWiki installation on my website
for quite some time
but for the past 4 days I'm struggling to get a hack. Please help me out.
I've read the material given in the Manual, How to Become a MediaWiki
Hacker, how to Debug and all the other relevant pages related to
development.
Till now, I've tried the following, but the wiki on my localhost functions
as though no changes have taken place (I've not tried all this on my website
yet) :
1) Applied the first hack given on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Customizing_edit_toolbar [not even the table
icon appears]
I'm also a newbie enthusiastic mediawikier, having exactly the same
issue which I couldn't solve yet :)
I found the following possible solutions:
1. low-level (didn't try it yet):
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ#How_do_I_add_more_buttons_on_the_e…
2. high level:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MarkS/Extra_edit_buttons
3. Simply edit common.js to customise the tool bar (didn't remember
where I read it). I basically add code like this:
http://www.skoffer.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.js&oldid=250
to the newly created page named Common.js which I created as admin
(something called sysop -- or something like this --in mediawiki
language).
Editing MediaWiki:Common.js finally worked for me:
http://disi.unal.edu.co/wikiapuntes/index.php/MediaWiki:Common.js
The problem was that I was editing WikiApuntes:Common.js instead.
Best regards,
Jean Pierre
4. I succesfully installed wikEd using Greasemonkey (a
firefox add-on)
which has nice editing tools. The good news is that It works for any
wiki. The bad news is that it only works locally (i.e., for users that
have enabled the wikEd script in their firefox configuration) which
means it didn't solve my problem.
Hope it helps a bit. Hope to hear better ideas. Cheers,
Jean Pierre
2) Set the predicate (preg_match) to zero in
Parser.php (689) [it still
parses it as a table]
3) removed all the content of index.php !! [it runs]
and a lot of things were tried out, but no success. However, wiki does
respond when I switch off the MySql service or move a file (such as
WebStart.php).
I've not had any progress due to this unexpectedly weird stuff going on.
Please give a hint or a pointer in the right direction.
Thanks
Taja
