Hi, We have disabled user profiles and any security across the Wiki, but I need users to have the ability to overwrite existing images with the same name. Currently we get the message A file with this name already exists, and cannot be overwritten. If you still want to upload your file, please go back and use a new name.
Is there a way I can turn this off?

Hi, New to this group, but I have tried searching extensively before asking this seemingly simple question: How do I enable the Link Wizard and the Table Wizard in the Vector skin? I run MediaWiki 1.16, I have installed the UsabilityInitiative extension and configured it according to the guidelines, and I have the WikiEditor up and running fine. What am I missing?

You want to hook to UserCreateForm and then call $template->addInputItem(). It would look like this: $wgHooks['UserCreateForm'][] = 'efAddTerms'; function efAddTerms(&$template) { $template->addInputItem('AUP', false, 'checkbox', 'I abide to the [[Acceptable Use Policy]]'); return true; } That would add the checkbox. You also need to verify that it was checked: $wgHooks['AbortNewAccount'][] = 'efAbortIfUnacceptable'; function efAbortIfUnacceptable($user, &$abortError) { global $wgRequest; $abortError = 'We only accept people which agree with the Acceptable Use Policy'; return $wgRequest->getCheck('AUP'); } Good luck ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Wed, 01 Dec 2010 19:40:16 +0100 From: Platonides <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Double Spacing on the "Printable Version" To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Raymond M wrote: > I'm wanting to use printable version to print reviewable hard-copy > editions that must be double spaced.

You're right that changing the directory permissions to 755 wouldn't fix this. Changing the ownership of the directory to the account under which your web server software runs, however, might. -- David Benfell <[email protected]> http://www.parts-unknown.org/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I have a question about accessing the internal info of mediawiki in an extension code, e.g. information about revisions for pages. What interface has less chances to change during the development of Media Wiki? Is it database structure or mediawiki classes such as User, Article, Revision? For example, it's very simple to make select-query for getting all contributors for the page $thisPageTitle: SELECT rev_user_text FROM page INNER JOIN revision on page.page_id=revision.rev_page WHERE page_title=\"$thisPageTitle\"; On the other hand I'm sure that there exists a class method that allows us to do the same thing. What of these ways is more proper in terms of portability from one MediaWiki version to another?
