[ANN]: Treeview skin 1.0 beta released
The Treeview skin has finally made it out of alpha and is available for public use as a beta. The skin adds a dynamic and configurable javascript-based treeview component in place of Monobook's navigation sidebar, supporting load-on-demand when expanding nodes. It also adds a couple of other niceties that you can see here: http://clc-wiki.net The skin can be downloaded from here: http://members.dodo.com.au/~netocrat/software and feedback can be viewed/added here: http://clc-wiki.net/wiki/Planning:Treeview_skin:Feedback The skin is best suited to small-medium sized sites with relatively low edit rates and with a MediaWiki cache manager enabled. -- -- http://members.dodo.com.au/~netocrat

Re: Making category links with articles, but no text, active

I'm guessing you mean you want them rendered as a blue link all the time. Probably the best way to do this is to hack includes/Linker.php - find the method Linker::isAlwaysKnown() and add NS_CATEGORY to the namespace conditions for it to return true. This will cause MediaWiki to treat all links to category pages as being known to exist. In the case where the category doesn't exist, this will merely lead to a blank category page listing the category members. For existing categories, it will continue to work as normal, of course.

Re: mass image upload (zip)
Thx Rob. I couldn't find this script. I'm using MW 1.6.7. Maybe there is different way to achieve it?

MW Statistic error count or missing article?
Hi,
I'm new here and new to MediaWiki, so greetings to all, I'm JC, from the
Philippines.
Anyway, just noticed after copying a template-DB for MediaWiki that after
importing it to a fresh MW installation, the -
[[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] - is showing " 1 article " to be
existing. My problem is, there is supposed to be no article. If I checked
it out, the article is non-existent. Also, if I compared everything from my
template-DB, everything is correct and exact.
Did I do something wrong somewhere? Coz from my template-DB for MW, the
stats shows 0 article, but when importing to a fresh MW installation, it
shows there's 1 article already. Btw, when I exported the template-DB, I
included "DROP table if exists" to be sure there's an exact clean copy of
the imported template-DB.
Not that it matters much, but it just kinda, well, you know... there's
"1" non-existent article/mis-count. ^_^
Thank you very much.
Regards,
JCuneta.

Hello everybody, I have "inherited" a wiki project running MediaWiki:1.6.5 (cgi-fcgi) PHP:5.1.4 MySQL:4.1.14-nt at my working place (I am a working student at SAP), and was wondering: 1) if there is anything similar to webs in Twiki, maybe an extension, or is it necessary to install another wiki, in order to get this functionality? 2) In our Wiki it is not possible to upload files of type pdf, ppt, xls or doc, but I read in this list, that it is possible (e.g Arne Bittig: Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Problem uploading certain files (blank upload form) How can these be enabled? Does this depend on the version, an extension, ...??? 3) Would you recommend us, to upgrade it to the latest version? 4) Is it possible, to login to it via Single Sign On? Does anybody know an Extension for this? 5) Is there anything special, I have to put attention over (Appart from Recent Changes)??? Thank you very very much in advance and kind regards, Veronica(Continue reading)

Re: MW Statistic error count or missing article?
Maybe the main page (or the page you have this template) is counted as well?
