Problems[edit]

Page edits are not showing up

I thought this might be because the server was caching pages and then using the cached version instead of the updated ones. This should not be the cause of the problem however. Although mediawiki 1.4.0 defaults to using page caching you must set one (memcache, etc) up before that default can take effect. (I've never set one up). There's still a option for page caching in the preferences page but I doubt it would do anything.

If anyone has this happen again try opening the page in another browser that doesn't support page caching (i.e. lynx,links) or a browser that you haven't yet used to view the wiki. Let me know if that does anything.

"!"'s in the Recent Changes.

This is not a 'bug' but a 'feature'... What they mean is that the page is not being patrolled. Why it's in the Recent Changes, or what 'patrolling' does, I don't know, but my guess would be that it's for wikipedia to help prevent trolls or something.

Any other problems post them on here. If anyone would like to try to figure out how the side bar works, be my guest.

To to the maintainer[edit]

This page should be used mostly as a log of what needs to be done when updating the academy wiki to a new version of mediawiki.

Some notes on syntax:

$WIKI_ROOT

Wherever the wiki is installed (currently ~/ for ssh and / for http and ftp)

+123: text

Add the line 'text' to the file given at the top. It should fall around line 123 after being added, but this will change greatly depending on the version of mediawiki that is being used.

-123: text

Remove the line containing 'text' from the file given at the top. It should fall around line 123 before being removed, again this will change depending on the software version used.

=123: text

This is simply used as a guide to make it easier to figure out where to put/remove lines of code. These lines are not changed except for shifting up or down after inserting/deleting a line of code.

123: text

This is code after changes have been made, I was too lazy to write where things have been inserted/removed, or there were simply to many changes for that to work easily. If you would like a +/- thing on this code I would suggest learning something like vimdiff.

Post tag usage[edit]

<post> To make a post simple place a <post> tag before the what you want to say, and a </post> tag what you want to say. Such as this

<post>

''what you want to say goes here''

</post>

<post> If you want to make a reply to someone post simply place your comment and it's <post> tags inside the other person's post tag's directly after their comment. Such as this

<post>

''what they had to say'' <post> ''what you want to say'' </post>

</post>

<post> This can continue. <post> as many times <post> as you like. </post> </post> </post> </post> <post> If you want to reply to an erlier comment then place your reply and it's <post> tags within their post tag's but after the rest of the people who have comented on what they said. (note: tab's or spaces in the source code can make this easier) Such as this

<post>

''what Joe said'' <post> ''what Fred said to Joe'' <post> ''what John said to Fred'' </post> </post> <post> ''what you want to say to Joe'' </post>

</post>

</post> </post>

<post> To make another top-level post just put your new post and it's <post> tags outside all the other post tag's <post> Alternately instead of useing lots of post tags to create a threaded discussion (which can get confusing but will hopefully be fixed) you can just put the main post in <post> tags and all the comments in one set of <post> tags right after that.

Then you can seperate comments with the normal collons

or horizontal line

or whatever you want

</post> </post>
