Strange Search Functionality with MediaWiki 1.3
by Matt Kaufman 27 Aug '04

27 Aug '04

Hello- We have been using MediaWiki 1.3 on MySQL 3.x for about two weeks now and have noticed some strange search behavior with the search button. We have a two pages: "Migrating Old Code" "Migration" When performing a search for "Migrating", the results are: Search results For query "migrating" No page with this exact title exists, trying full text search. Migration 77% (****) Nothing else is returned. It says nothing about the "Migrating Old Code" page. At first I thought there was an issue with MediaWiki not searching page titles, so I tried a few tests and it worked fine. I also tried putting the word "Migrating" in the text of other pages to see if the search results (shown above) would change. They did not... Anyone have some thoughts on why this might be happening? -Matt

I'm a little closer to understanding what is going on with my absolute failure to get MediaWiki to respect EasyDNS' domain forwarding. It seems that they use frames. From their website: This is accomplished by creating a frameset document which specifies an invisible frame to keep the domain name in the location bar, and another frame which occupies the whole screen which the page forwarded to is placed. This has the effect of keeping the domain name in the location bar, no matter what address is forwarded to within the frame. If it doesn't matter to your application that the address shown in the location bar of a visitors browser will always be the same, your domain name, regardless of which page they access, then you can turn stealth on and the only modification you have to make to the html code on your site is that if you have links to other websites outside of your own site, make sure your links look like this: <a href="http://www.anothersite.com" target="_top"> Now, my problem isn't one of getting the outside links to work, although that would be nice. (Movable Type seems able to support this.) But rather, I think the .htaccess file I am using to clean up the domain names is perhaps breaking the frame? Also, I was able to figure something out: This does not work: RewriteCond %{REQIEST_URI} ^something.org RewriteRule ^(.*) some.org$1 This does: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^wiki\.oxusnet\.net RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://wiki.oxus.net/$1 [L] However, it creates an infinite loop for me, between the EasyDNS forwarding and the redirect, so the page never, ever loads! This may be hopeless, but if anyone has any ideas let me know! I really, really, want to fix this! kerim

Executing custom PHP within Media wiki
by Jimmy Apple 28 Jul '04

28 Jul '04

Hello, If I have a menu element from my site that is generated from a database in MySQl using PHP, how (and where) can I integrate that into MediaWiki so they will execute properly? I tried putting it into xhtml_slim but since that is not a PHP page, it does not work. Thanks Jimmy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
