Special:recentchanges queries

Hi All,

I have a few queries about this page, sorry if this gets a little long!

*Part 1*
I am trying to include the content of the Special:recentchanges but only for
a certain number of days.

This works if I do {{Special:Recentchanges}} however if I put
{{Special:Recentchanges&days=5}} I get a red link to create the page.

Is there a way of performing what I am trying to accomplish?

*Part 2*
Is there a way of having unique page names appear only (ie if there have
been multiple edits of a particular page over a period of time, that it only
appears once?).

*Part 3*
Is there a way to get this emailed out as a report every X days?

Thanks heaps in advance!

=)     I'd agree with ya, if I wasn't so much of a PHP newbie... I'd 
consider myself more of a Perl and Bash type coder, but I definarely 
understand where you are coming from with your suggestion. Luckily, I 
found someone over  <at>  MediaWiki.org's MWSearch Extension_talk page that 
helped me troubleshoot my issue!

experience with blog extension

We host description of our research work in form of Wiki, using 
MediaWiki. I would like to start a blog inside of our Wiki, not on one 
of publicly available blog hosting services, becuase we want to have 
more control over the storage of data and uniform access to them 
(through MediaWiki).

Can you suggest me any extension to MediaWiki which allows for having a 
blog as one of Wiki pages ? What are your experience with existing 
extensions ?

By blog I mean a single Wiki page, where:
* Entries are sorted by date of publication
* Under each entry there is a list of comments or a link to the
   separate page with only commented entry and detailed list of
   comments made to it

Thank you for your time,
Maciej

I asked myself that question some time ago. There is this extension:

	http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:My_blog

But it wasn't exactly what I expected. I didn't like the "one user <-> 
one blog" relationship. I wanted blogs to have their own names, and to 
be part of the wiki as a whole, following the wiki philosophy, like 
"many users <-> many blogs".

So, I started this extension:

	http://svn.juliano.info/svn/mediawiki/extensions/Blog/trunk/

There are a lot of features missing for a blog, I never had time to 
finish it, but it does what I expected:

- Blogs are part of the wiki, not user's pages.

- It follows wiki philosophy as far as possible: any user can post to 
any blog, as long as it has edit permissions to the "Blog:" namespace; 
if a user makes an inappropriate post, you just move or delete that 
post's page; many users may collaborate to a single blog post.

- Blogs (and posts) in different languages are linked through language 
interwiki links.

Re: experience with blog extension

My blog[1] is based on MediaWiki.  It is accomplished through page
transclusion and bulit on two extensions I created explicitly for this
purpose: WikiArticleFeeds[2] and ArticleComments[3].

It's by no means polished - but it does the job well enough for me.

Just pretend it's perl, it's pretty much the same for these purposes.

> function is somehow stripping the search results

Well, Http::get() is only 68 lines. It has two branches, one of uses 
file_get_contents(), which should emit errors if display_errors is on, and 
the other uses curl_exec(), which has two error branches which return 
false silently:

if ( curl_getinfo( $c, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE ) != 200 ) {
if ( curl_errno( $c ) != CURLE_OK ) {

You should determine which one of these MediaWiki is using, and either 
enable display_errors, or add debugging statements to the two curl error 
branches.

Or, again, you could use tcpdump, which would probably determine the 
problem without dealing with the source code.

multi-page table of contents?;

Markus: really great work you've done.
I made a special page only with your indexes!

I use it as a fast search facility as well (with ctrl F): 
it finds the links very fast and exact.

In my case it would be therefor very convenient if the indexes would always be open.
No need for the [+].
Now I have to explain that for searching they have to open with the [+] first, beginning with the last (the
indexes are very long...).
Is there a way this can be done?

Semantic extension + FCKeditor

Does anyone have both extensions installed and have them working 
together? I am not able to use FCKeditor due to it re-writing the 
properties into some other code.
How do i prevent a property: [[qd title::test]]
from turning into this:
test
<div class="smwfact"><span class="smwfactboxhead">Facts about <span

class="swmfactboxheadbrowse">[[Special:Browse/Sandbox-2Fsemantic|Sandbox/semantic]]</span></span><span 
class="smwrdflink"><span 
class="rdflink">[[Special:ExportRDF/Sandbox/semantic|RDF 
feed]]</span></span>
{| class="smwfacttable"
|-
| class="smwpropname" | [[Property:Qd title|Qd&nbsp;title]]
| class="smwprops" | test
|}
</div>

I have the lastest nightly build of the fckeditor extension 
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FCKeditor_%28by_FCKeditor_and_Wikia%29> 
with fckeditor 2.6.2 <http://www.fckeditor.net/whatsnew> with
MediaWiki <http://www.mediawiki.org/> 	1.12.0
PHP <http://www.php.net/> 	5.2.5 (cgi-fcgi)
MySQL <http://www.mysql.com/> 	5.0.24-community-nt

Thank-you
Matt

Re: experience with blog extension

Jim,

Ok. Thanks. I like your extension ArticleComments for its simplicity.

I have a question related to it. How can I put talks page (already made 
comments) on the same page, under the article which is commented ?

Similary as you've done at

http://jimbojw.com/wiki/index.php?title=ArticleComments_Test_Page

Best,
Maciej
