MediaWiki 1.2.4: Usage inside a frame

Hi,
I want to use mediawiki for an internal documentation wiki where it
appears inside a nested frame. Unfortunately, there is always a new
window opened. I looked into the code and found that style/wikibits.js
contains such code:

/ Wikipedia JavaScript support functions
// Un-trap us from framesets
if( window.top != window ) window.top.location = window.location;

But if I comment this line, the behaviour is still the same. Is there
any other place were js code is used to avoid frames?

Thanks for help,
Thommmie

Images not loading on new install

Hi everyone,

I've just downloaded and installed v. 1.2.6 on my Debian/apache server. The
install appears to have proceeded without incident, but I notice that none
of the images are loading on the new wiki's Web pages. The apache error log
shows:

[Tue Jun  1 11:14:11 2004] [error] [client 10.50.10.116] File does not
exist: /usr/share/images/wiki.png

I'm puzzled why apache would be looking in /usr/share for the images when
I've defined the DocumentRoot elsewhere. Any ideas?

-Tim

Nope!  The above entries for .htaccess do nothing.
Do you know of any other way to do this (if it's possible)?
This is odd though, as rewrite used to work for this server.  They just moved 
to a new datacenter this past weekend, but the config files shouldn't have 
been changed.

How can I see the apache configuration? (the actual config files aren't 
readable by my account.  it's a shared host)

Including an external html (or php) file

Is there a way to display an external html or php file within a page?  Or even 
just insert some raw html code?  the <nowiki> tag doesn't seem to work for 
this.

Is it possible that you have an:

Alias /images/ /usr/share/images/

somewhere up in your global conf?

Yes, you're right. I should have thought of that. It looks like Debian's
apache config uses that to locate the images it uses for displaying
directories of files. Thanks for the pointer.

No, that's it. Be sure you've cleared the old version from your browser 
cache.

No. You could add a way, I suppose, but there isn't one.

Arbitrary HTML is dangerous: cross-site scripting attacks; hijacking 
sessions of other users, etc.

Perhaps an <html> tag that would disable the wiki processing and could itself 
be disabled in the config file (similar to the whitelist flag, only give it 
to SysAdmins).

My goal it to insert an html form into a particular page (and protect that 
page).  I've modified some html through the WikiMedia:All_messages pages (in 
particular, to display a Creative Commons Liscence notice, but I don't fully 
understand the way that these messages are parsed, and I don't think I'd be 
able to do what I'm trying to do with it.

Maybe I just need to create a static html page and have my wiki pages link to 
it, but I'd rather stay in the wiki.

Another related question: is there a way to *link* to an external file on a file system, using perhaps UNC
(Universal Naming Convention), e.g. [<\\servername\sharename\path\filename> External File] or
some such syntax? On some Mediawiki installations other than Wikipedia (e.g. ours) this would be
extremely useful to link to non-wiki flat files (e.g. Microsoft Word).
