MediaWiki 1.16.0 PHP 5.2.15 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL 5.1.53-log

I've been trying to do an update to one of my infoboxes today. Basically, I'm trying to add in a switch parser that takes one of the inputs (active vs inactive) and uses that to change the class of the template, so that I can switch its colors. Unfortunately, I'm only ever getting the default value that I enter and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.

This is a portion of my infobox code:

{| class="infobox {{#switch: {{{status}}} 
| Active = infobox_active
| active = infobox_active
| inactive = infobox_inactive
| Inactive = infobox_inactive
| infobox_active}}" style="font-size: 89%; width: 300px;"
|-
! class="infobox_header" colspan="2" style="font-size: 120%; padding: 1em;" | {{{Character Name|{{PAGENAME}}}}}
|- style="text-align: center;"
| colspan="2" style="padding: 0.5em;" | {{#if: {{{external profile image|}}} | {{{external profile image|}}} | [[{{{uploaded profile image|image:Placeholder_person.png }}}|{{{uploaded profile image width|200}}}px]] }}<br>''{{{image caption| }}}''
|-
! colspan="2" class="infobox_header" | [[race::Marked]]
|-
| style="width: 30%;" | '''Created By''' 
| style="width: 70%;" | [[author::{{{created by|}}}]]
|-
| style="width: 30%;" | '''Group'''
| style="width: 70%;" | [[membergroup::{{{membergroup|}}}]]
|-
| style="width: 30%;" | '''Status''' 
| style="width: 70%;" | [[status::{{{status|}}}]]

I've tried entering in default values for that 'status' parameter, but nothing has made a difference and the switch always goes to its default setting. I am also using semantic mediawiki if that makes a different.

I'd love any input.

I've been racking my brain trying to figure out a way to do it. Is it even possible?

Hello,

You know that there are some predefined templates like {{PAGENAME}} ...

I would like to know if exist any template which display the name of the user who created the article ?

And any template which like {{REVISIONMONTH}} but which display not the number of the month but the name of the month like {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} for Revision.

I have currently installed mediawiki, I did not find any administration panel and wanted to update the logo. I have found an article explaining how this is done: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ (Topic: How do I change the logo?) as pasted in below (Bottom).

The article says not to simply change the logo.png as it will be overwritten when the upgrade is committed, and to do the upgrade through the DefaultSettings.php file. Which is known now as LocalSettings.php as I have asumed due to the search keeps going to this article: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/DefaultSettings.php.

First thing you notice is a big warning on that page that says Warning: Don't edit this file with Notepad or other text editor that adds byte order marks to files, or you will break your wiki. Well, further to this I have found this page: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/DefaultSettings.php?view=markup which has a warning of below:

5 * NEVER EDIT THIS FILE
6 *
7 *
8 * To customize your installation, edit "LocalSettings.php". If you make
9 * changes here, they will be lost on next upgrade of MediaWiki!


So what is one to do? Just to update the logo...

Below was copied from: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ (Topic: How do I change the logo?)

[edit] How do I change the logo?

The logo that appears in the top left of each page is determined by the $wgLogo configuration line in the LocalSettings.php file.

There are two ways to change the logo:

Upload a picture to your wiki using the normal file uploading interface. This allows the logo to be replaced easily, so you may want to protect the page if you use this method.

Then add the $wgLogo line to LocalSettings.php, for example:

$wgLogo = 'http://www.example.com/wiki/images/6/62/photoname.jpg';

Or upload an image to your server by other means (such as FTP). Add the $wgLogo line to LocalSettings.php, for example:

$wgLogo = "{$wgScriptPath}/photoname.jpg";

In this example, the photo is in the same folder as the LocalSettings.php file.

Caution: Do not simply overwrite the default logo installed with MediaWiki (/skins/common/images/wiki.png); this file will be overwritten when you upgrade.

Tip: The logo image should be 135 x 135 pixels.

and I wanted to update the logo to my personal one, though in the documentation to configure the logo I have to update the DefaultSettings.php though it also

Hello sir/madam,

We want that only users can edit pages. Where can I change that?

Thanks!

Hi I am using:

Mediawiki 1.15.4
PHP/5.3.0
MySQL5.1.36

I would be grateful for any help with this problem. For some reason that I cannot work out my mediaplayer has stopped working. I don't know exactly when it stopped as I only recently revisited the a page where the player was/should have been working. There is a large space where the player should be and the player appears to be attempting to communicate because the little thing at the top of the page keeps spinning as though it is in the process of downloading.

Thank you

I was in the process of updating MediaWiki when my database crashed.

I downloaded the tar of the latest release, copied the files into /var/www over the existing ones there, and ran /var/www/maintenance/update.php from the command line. The update script crashed with the error:

Database returned error "1142: CREATE command denied to user 'wikiuser'@'localhost' for table 'user_properties' (localhost)"

Opening the wiki in my browser gives the following error:

Database error

A database error has occurred Query: SELECT lc_value FROM `l10n_cache` WHERE lc_lang = 'en' AND lc_key = 'deps' LIMIT 1 Function: LCStore_DB::get Error: 1146 Table 'wikidb.l10n_cache' doesn't exist (localhost)

Any idea how I can fix this? My wiki is currently completely unusable.

I want to change the background colours of this table, all tables in general. I was able to edit e everything via monobook main.css but i cant change the background colours of the table. What file do ive to edit!?

Product Version MediaWiki 1.15.4 PHP 5.2.12 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.0.89-community

http://www.allianceofavalon.freeiz.com/wiki/index.php

I'm trying to write a script that can search for and delete multiple pages for garbage collection type duties. The problem is that I can't seem to get a wildcard search to return any results, even when I know they are present. An example query is as follows:

http://www.allianceofavalon.freeiz.com/wiki/api.php?action=query&prop=info&format=xml&titles=*(Sy*

The response I get is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?><api><query><pages><page ns="0" title="*(Sy*" missing="" /></pages></query></api>

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've looked around for hours but can find the answer.  :(

I'm trying to help this site out by making the search for "role" to redirect to the page for "roles" for example. Right now a search for "role" leaves me very confused and frustrated. That seems silly. Help me help you.

I am looking to start my own wiki and I have found the version that psupedia.info uses quite easy to use. I looked all around to see what version it is, yet I haven't had much luck. Could anyone please tell me which version it is and where I can get the files for it? Any help is much appreciated.

I upgraded my wiki install from 1.15.5 to 1.16.4.

For some reason the Auto Complete is not working in the Search box. You can enter a word there and search just fine but it is not giving suggestions based on what is typed.
