[Fwd: Re: [Mediawiki-l] using images as icons]
by jdd 31 Aug '05

For enhancing the aspect of the opensuse pages, the use of images is very nice. However, mediawiki images use to link only to they own page, so clicking on the image don't send to the link waited by most users (the normal icons way); I asked about this on the mediawiki list and was answed this (below). could somebody test this and if good insert the appropiate code? I've no php knowledge and can't do it myself thanks jdd -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] using images as icons Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2005 12:04:04 -0700 From: Joshua Oreman <oremanj(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list <mediawiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org> To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list <mediawiki-l(a)wikimedia.org> References: <431491BD.3020408(a)dodin.org> <1e55af9905083010535183bf0f(a)mail.gmail.com> <1e55af9905083011012c850e9(a)mail.gmail.com> <1e55af9905083011036829d6e0(a)mail.gmail.com> On 8/30/05, Sy <sy1234(a)gmail.com> wrote: > On 8/30/05, jdd <jdd(a)dodin.org> wrote: > > is there a way to use images as icons, that is clicking on > > the image drives to an other page, not the image page. > > Did some more thinking.. the only solution I can see is some kind of > extension designed to do this. Yep. Untested, but should work. extensions/ImageLink.php: --snip-- require_once('../includes/Image.php'); $wgExtensionFunctions[] = "wfImageLink"; function wfImageLink() { global $wgParser; $wgParser->setHook ('imglink', 'renderImageLink'); } function renderImageLink ($text, $attr) { global $wgParser, $wgUser, $wgTitle; $parserOptions = ParserOptions::newFromUser( $wgUser ); $parser =& new Parser(); $output =& $parser->parse("[[".$input."|IMAGE]]", $wgTitle, $parserOptions); $ret = $output->getText(); $itag = "<img border='0' "; foreach ($attr as $k => $v) { if ($k == "src") { $itag .= "src='" . Image::imageUrl($attr['src']) . "' "; } else { $itag .= "$k='$v' "; } $itag .= "/>"; return str_replace ($ret, "IMAGE", $itag); } --snip-- and add require_once('extensions/ImageLink.php'); to LocalSettings.php. To use, do <imglink src='MyImage'>Destination page</imglink> instead of the doesn't-work [[Destination page|[[Image:MyImage]]]] You can also use height and width attributes on the <imglink> tag. Hope this helps. -- Josh > _______________________________________________ > MediaWiki-l mailing list > MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org > http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l > _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l -- pour m'écrire, aller sur: http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.net http://arvamip.free.fr

Atheros driver under x86_64 not working.
by Lemon Richard 31 Aug '05

31 Aug '05

Hi all, I'm having an issue with SuSE 9.3, 10beta1, 10beta2, and 10beta3. I'm running an AMD 64 3000 processor with the D-Link DWL-G520 PCI wireless G network card. SuSE9.3 sort of gets the card working every other installation with the native drivers, but I cannot shut down the interface without it freezing my computer. I believe this is a known issue that has been fixed, but in the 10 x86_64 betas, I cannot get the ath_pci module to load. The system says there are unknown symbols in the module. To fix this I've tried downloading the latest madwifi cvs and, using the SuSEbuild script from the madwifi help wiki, I've been able to compile the new driver. When I load this new module, dmesg tells me that WEP AES AES-CCMP and TKIP are enabled. WPA_Supplicant doesn't work with the module, but I can scan for Access Points and find them with the new driver. Am I missing something in getting WPA_Supplicant to work with the new driver? The errors from WPA_supplicant indicate that it is failing trying to implement an ioctrl operation on the ath_pci driver. I haven't recompiled wpa_supplicant from source yet. I'm using the rpm from the 10beta3 cd at the moment. So my question is, am I going in the right direction to try to recompile the wpa_supplicant from source? Or is there something missing when I'm compling the new madwifi driver? Thanks in advance for any responses.

File system type
by elefino 31 Aug '05

31 Aug '05

Time to fill another gap or two in my knowledge. In another list, in a thread that I found while googling for info about cyrus and postfix, I ran into a conversation where someone suggested that (for the purposes of the other people in the conversation - most of them setting up or managing fairly large mail systems) ext3fs was not as good as reiserfs, and they should do this: "In /etc/fstab go to the /var [entry] and change it to something like /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 /var reiserfs data=writeback,noatime 1 2 Reboot the system " I think the implication was that you can change the fs just by changing an fstab entry. Is that true? I thought that sort of thing would have been laid down at formatting time and just formalized in fstab, and would therefore be a bit more difficult to overhaul than just an edit of one file and a reboot. Also, while we're on the subject, is Reiserfs the hands-down better, faster, more reliable-in-both-ordinary-and-extreme-situations, file-system? A Linux Journal article from a couple of years ago seemed to think so, and supplied several feature-comparison tables to prove it. Or is that the kind of question likely to stir up religious wars? (in which case, forget I asked :-) Kevin

Rpm seems to load but they don't. How come?
by Michael Juntunen 31 Aug '05

31 Aug '05

I am having some trouble installing some .rpm files that I downloaded from packman. I was able to install about 200 packages with no problems but am having problems with about 20. I am using SUSE 9.3. Below is the commands and the output. In short I type rpm -Uhv d*.rpm and the packages seem to load, however, rpm -qa cannot find them and they don't seem to have installed afterall. Typing rpm -Uhv d*.rpm again doesn't give me a the package is already loaded error message. Yast seems to have the same problem, ie, seems to install the package but can't find it later. So why would everything indicate that a package is being loaded into the system when it is not? --------------- computer output ------------ linux:/share1/9.3/updates # rpm -Uhv d*.rpm warning: divx4linux-20030428-0.pm.0.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5277a2fa warning: dvd-slideshow-0.7.1-0.pm.1.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID cd3140cd warning: dvdshrink-2.6.0-0.pm.1.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 27db6f5b 1:divx4linux warning: user manfred does not exist - using root ########################################### [100%] warning: user manfred does not exist - using root 2:dvd-slideshow warning: user rainer does not exist - using root warning: group ls does not exist - using root warning: user rainer does not exist - using root%) warning: group ls does not exist - using root ########################################### [100%] 3:dvdshrink warning: user quentin does not exist - using root ########################################### [100%] warning: user quentin does not exist - using root 4:dvdwizard warning: user manfred does not exist - using root warning: user manfred does not exist - using root warning: user manfred does not exist - using root) ########################################### [100%] linux:/share1/9.3/updates # SuSEconfig Starting SuSEconfig, the SuSE Configuration Tool...

SCO-ansi terminal emulation ?
by Chadley Wilson 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Greetings, Does suse 9.3 have a sco-ansi terminal emultor, we use Basis Pro5 in the world of golfers, and it requires so much modification of termcap to get it to work on linux. And even then some times borders are drawn with characters and other times borders are nice. We have to preset user profiles with TERM-ansi; TERMCAP=/u/pro5/termcap.custom; export TERM TERMCAP, and we can't use bash we have to specify sh etc.. Isn't there a simpler way. We don't run X at all we are completely terminal based (as in thin clients and sco/linux console) , I would like to trash the sco-unix setup at each site and run on linux. Man what a job!! I had a look at the tty's and pts's but can't seem to find away to set them so that every thing works with out having to specify terminals each time. For example, I set user dave to ansi he can only use hotkey or a thinclient, he can not work on the server or another linux console. This makes him partially mobile on the course as there are only certian points he can access, or mary who is setup for linux console can't access the system out on the course, so to fix a problem at the POS point she must venture all the way back to the office. (Some of the gold clubs are massive). So we setup two user accounts for each person, now we have a mamoth administration job, and ID10T users who can't remeber there own names and can't login, or they logged in with the wrong username at a point which messed up the display, and because the screen looks all messed up they reset the terminal and then things go from minor to hell, and the terminal must be reset. I must get in the car drive all over the country fixing this nonsense. Please HEAR my cry for help!! I neeeeeed to simplify the profiles, or have dual support in one profile. Any tips, tricks, hacks, cracks, or real solutions would be so greatly appreciated that if I can, I will send a bottle of something you like!
