Screencast: Demo of RDF Import and SPARQL "Update" in SMW

by Samuel Lampa

I just posted a (3:20) screencast that demonstrates the functionality of the RDFIO extension [0] I'm working on as GSoC project [1]. Hope it gives an idea of the project for those of you who don't have time to install and test it out yourselves ... and spurs feedback! :) // Samuel [0] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RDFIO [1] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:SHL/GSoC2010 -- Samuel Lampa --------------------------------------- Biotech Student @ Uppsala University GSoC Student @ Semantic MediaWiki Mentor: Denny Vrandečić --------------------------------------- Blog: http://saml.rilspace.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/samuellampa ---------------------------------------

New code repo for GSoC project "RDFIO" (please update links)

by Samuel Lampa

For followers of my GSoC project: I just moved to a new Google code repository, so please update any links and bookmarks! Main repo url: http://code.google.com/p/smwrdfio SVN check-ins: http://code.google.com/p/smwrdfio/source/list The move is reflecting the name change of the MediaWiki extension from "SMW RDF Connector" (it's awfully long, isn't it) to "SMW RDFIO", or just "RDFIO". See also the newly created extension page: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RDFIO (will be the hub for information about the extension in the future) // Samuel -- Samuel Lampa --------------------------------------- Biotech Student @ Uppsala University GSoC Student @ Semantic MediaWiki Mentor: Denny Vrandečić --------------------------------------- Blog: http://saml.rilspace.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/samuellampa ---------------------------------------

Permissions Issue

by Tolliver

Hello, I've been quite busy with other work, and wasn't able to continue working on my permissions issue. Nevertheless, I have been able to get the permissions to work for the four groups I setup. However, any users just in the Bureaucrat and or Sysop group doesn't have access to either of the four groups - unable to access any pages with the Namespaces outlined below. Here is the error: The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups *, user. Return to Main Page <https://dev.wiki.dal.ca/wiki/index.php/Main_Page>.

changing URL vor virtual host

by Phil Howard

Mediawiki was originally installed by another person on a server before Apache was configured for virtual hosts. I would have just wiped and and installed again were it not for lots of pages we want to keep are now in there. So I'm just trying to manually reconfigure Apache and Mediawiki to get the new virtual URL to work. Originally the paths everything was installed in was /etc/mediawiki and /var/lib/mediawiki. I have not changed these. I'm reading this document and trying to apply it to my situation: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL The host is called "fermat" (no TLD), and that is DNS resolved on the internal network. A URL that worked previously was "http://fermat/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page". Apache now no longer listens on the IP address that "fermat" resolves to, so that URL now gets a connection failure. This is expected. Instead, a new name "wiki" resolves to another IP address. The server has that IP address configured, and so does Apache. Apache listens on it. It does connect. I'm just not getting the contents expected. Old URL: http://fermat/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page New URL: http://wiki/wiki/Main_Page I am also changing the first directory name from "/mediawiki" to just "/wiki". I would have liked to have it even shorter by eliminating this first path altogether, but one document I read said not to do this, so I didn't. I did put in an Apache Alias directive "Alias /wiki /var/lib/mediawiki/index.php" so that I do not have to use "index.php" in the URL. So I have these in "/etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php": $wgScriptPath = "/mediawiki"; $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1"; $wgScriptExtension = ".php"; Previously, $wgArticlePath was not assigned (I added it since the document had that). I copied this from "http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL#Setup_steps" but left "/mediawiki" NOT changed to "/w" (since I didn't see a need to change the filesystem path, at least not yet). OK ... so I go to "http://wiki/wiki/Main_Page". I actually get our page contents (the contents we put in there back when it was under the other URL). So it seems mostly I got it right. BUT ... what fails is that get NONE of the prettiness. No CSS, no images, etc. It just looks like it was rendered from plain HTML. Are there other steps which are needed to get that? I don't see any in the "http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL" document, and don't see any link that suggests that. I would have expected that if more steps are needed, they would be right there with the other steps. So I don't know if this is something missing or something not done right. But I got the right contents, which suggests to me the right script was run in ... maybe ... the right context. So, anyone have any idea what else needs to be done? A reference to the right document should work (if it's a big one, what section to use).

Hi all, I need a protected area for the administrators. Users who are not logged in and are not a member of the group "Administrators", should not have access to some pages.

How to include MediaWiki login form on another page

by Sebek Nowaczynski

I have: example.com and example.com/w/ in which it is MediaWiki. I want to have login form (with a different look than the standard) in example.com/index.php I copied the source code of login form, and in this I have there: <input type="hidden" name="wpLoginToken" value="f695ba23114fe495f3f03f2ab23d0294" /> Where/How to retrieve this value(wpLoginToken)? I can login once to my page, but, in the twice I see: "Login error There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again. " I think this is problem with wpLoginToken. If I delete this hidden walue, there is communicate like "Login error There seens to be...". I have MediaWiki 1.17alpha (r69213), directly from SVN (clean installation), PHP 5.2.13 (cgi-fcgi), MySql 5.1.47. Thank you for your reply and sorry for my weak English. S. Nowaczynski
