Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedwhat does this do? A description of the module would be nice.
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedIs there any particular reason that MySQL 4.1+ is required for MediaWiki For XOOPS 1.63? To my knowledge, only MySQL 4.0+ is required for MediaWiki 1.6.3.
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedthanks for the module.
But YES! a quick guide to "what can we do with this module" will really appreciated.
although it seems to be something like wiki pedia or something 
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedI've been waiting for this module a long time, thankyou very much.
I believe it is a XOOPS port of http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki so it should do all the same things, like give you your own wikipedia site i believe.
I dont understand what the difference is between the 2 version though? are they bothe the same but just compatable with different versions of php/mysql?
Thanks for the great module though I look forward to get this up and running and having a play about with it.
Cheers.
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedSorry guys, I did not make a doc for it.
Yes, it is something fromhttp://www.mediawiki.org
-- unfortunately, it is blocked by China; more unfortunately, I am now inside China now.
I got the original files from sourceforge but not able to access docs on mediawiki.org
If anyone could help point to the direct tutorial links or copy thing thing to the forum, much appreciated.
As the MySQL/PHP versions, yes, I made mistakes:
mediawiki 1.53: php 4.12+, MySQL 3.2+
mediawiki 1.68: php 4.32+, MySQL 4.0+
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedsaeed:
its in the readme file:

MediaWiki
---------
MediaWiki is the software used for Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org) and the
other Wikimedia Foundation websites. Compared to other wikis, it has an
excellent range of features and support for high-traffic websites using
multiple servers (Wikipedia peaks in the 2500+ requests per second range
as of June 2005).
While quite usable on smaller sites, you may find you have to "roll your own"
local documentation, and some aspects of configuration may seem overcomplicated
because MediaWiki is primarily targeted as an in-house tool.
See the files RELEASE-NOTES, INSTALL, and UPGRADE for details on system
requirements and installation procedure.
The MediaWiki software was written by:
* Lee Daniel Crocker
* Magnus Manske
* Jan Hidders
* Brion Vibber
* Axel Boldt
* Geoffrey T. Dairiki
* Tomasz Wegrzanowski
* Erik Moeller
* Tim Starling

Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedphppp also i have a question:
why you release a specific version for MySQL: 3.28+ ?
how many servers use this very old version of mysql?
is this worth for a separate release?
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedFor me this could be an interesting module, if:
1) It does not take a lot of work to get it going.
2) It will run in PHP safe mode.
As far as I can see from the docs (mediawiki looks very well documented), safe mode is possible. Testing is not an option for me soon, but I would like to read evaluation by others!
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedI tried to install version 1.58 of MediaWiki locally on xsas, XOOPS version 2.0.13.2, php 4.3.6 mysql 3.23.49.
I uploaded frameworks/ and the module into module dir I also upload class/database.php which replaced the original database.php not sure if i was to do that or not, i couldnt see anything in the read me about it.
It seemed to install OK though it didnt go through the normal list when installing. Got this error when going to admin.php:

Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are released-- BUG?Two quick points.
I installed 1.63 and the version number did not update. No big deal, just a nit.
I still have the same theme (Block) problem with FireFox I noted in your 1.58 beta release. If you'd like to see it in action go tohttp://processteam.org and access left Menu (ASSET LIBRARY ==> Powerful Definition Tools)

Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedThis is THE wiki! Congratulations, phppp!
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedmartyboy, you've probably missed that required MySQL version is 3.28+ and yours is just 3.23.49.
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedThe ultimate wiki? see Wikipedia as an example.
Thanks DJ, again, an excellent contribution to the XOOPS product.
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedHere are some noob questions about this module- so please keep that in mind with an answer:
How and why should i (or could I)integrate wikimedia (I've seen carnukes ultimate site reference) with my xoops?
What would it look like? Would it still have my theme, blocks and show other XOOPS modules in menus etc or does it operate as it's own little site?
Will I have to learn to use a code or is it a bit more intuitive with helpful buttons we have here?
Is there a xoopser using this on their site so I can see it in action on a XOOPS site?
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedHere are two examples of it in use on the developer's sites:
http://xoopsforge.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page
https://xoops.org.cn/modules/mediawiki/index.php/%E9%A6%96%E9%A1%B5
Still trying to figure out what I could possibly use it for - maybe a collaborative fiction section on a site I'm making.
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedThis mod might has a lot of potential uses. I think this could be used with most any type of collaborative documentation or knowledge bases.
Forget about having your blocks - looks like it doesn't use them.
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedIt's mediawiki, adapted/ported for xoops, isn't it? Did anyone get it to work? Causes some serious issues on my local test install (2.24). It either spits out
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: xoops_message() in [path to xoops]\modules\mediawiki\includes\Skin.php on line 1123
or it only installs half of its database tables. Either/or in terms of: First it gives the error, then I uninstall and reinstall, then it doesn't install it's entire database structure. Sort of.
In any case, looks like a great effort.

Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedIf I understand you correctly you have put Frameworks/ under modules/Frameworks.
If it is supposed to work the same way as the CBB forum module works, then this is incorrect. The Frameworks directory must be placed the the XOOPS ROOT directory in parallel with modules, templates_c, uploads, cache, etc.. The module itself still goes into modules folder.. As usual nobody bothers to explain these things properly.
My main issue with this module is access restriction. For the wiki to be of any use to me, access to pages and to the edit function must be integrated with XOOPS user profiles. I don't have time to police my own site for unwanted changes made by anonymous users.
As for why this would be an excellent module, I can put forth a couple of suggestions. In my experience, document systems like [insertyourfavorite]section, are fine for experienced users, but if you want ordinary folks to post documents to your site, the section modules are too complicated, and may not organize the documents the way you want.
In a wiki, editing is easy, and the documents organize themselves pretty much automatically. It makes it easier to use and maintain in day to day operations. But it needs integrated access restriction so pages can't be easily vandalised. The betas I saw didn't have this. Do correct me if this release version has recieved improvements in this area.

Now that you've uploaded the database.php, try to update the module from Modules Administration or if wiki doesn't have any entries yet uninstall it and reinstall it. If the aboe didn't help you my drop PHPpp a message athttp://xoopsforge.com/
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedGot a msg from Beso.
Concerning mediawiki language files, all user shall ask help from your local support teams, who would be able to check if your language file is uptodate.

Could you tell me a solotion for this?
Thanks in advance.
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedJust tried 1.63 and it won't install on a 2.0.13 and mysql 4.1.18. I have followed the instructions but when I hit install, I just get :

Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedit might be stupid question, but - what should I do if I want everyone to edit and add pages? Now I have to be logged in to edit and add. Maybe I can change it somewhere in admin/modules/mediawiki? but I haven't got this position in menu?
Problems with title in japaneseHello.
I tried to ask in the XOOPS forums, but maybe it'd be better here.
I've having problems with title in japanese. When I tried to add a new page with title in japanese, there are shown as "???".
When I do a search about the word I've entered, I can find the page.
I can see japanese characters correctly in the whole page, the links too (except when I go over a link, it also shows "???").
So, I'm wondering if there is a "trick" to make it appear normally or not... I've been searching for hours, but I'm not able to find it...
Thanks in advance, and thanks for this module!
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedOk.
I wasn't sure what to do, but I eventually found it.
I don't why just the title was buggy, but I changed the encoding to utf-8 and now, it's displaying correctly. :)
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedhi all,
I am using this module as my wiki. I have 2 questions as:

- How about permision for this modules? I cannot set it

Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedIs there a way to get rid of the Xo.- prefix on the usernames?
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedJust change it in your LocalSetting.php file.
Re: MediaWiki for XOOPS are releasedI also have problems installing the mediawiki module on a 2.0.13.2 site. I have tried both v 1.58 and 1.63 but the same thing happens, at installation no database tables are created.
I'm running php 4.4.2 and mysql 5.0.18. This is within the specs, and I can't see why it doesn't work. Is there a generic problem with the mediawiki module on 2.0.x? It seems from this forum that others are able to make it work, but I cannot see how.
