folks, Perhaps we should set a redirect to Portal:Security. Oh and perhaps create such a page, based on old-en.o.o/Security? Ciao, MArcus -- Working, but not speaking, for the following german company: SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg)

[opensuse-wiki] Wiki Google Custom Search
by Matthew Ehle 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Hello, As Carlos pointed out, I had accidentally hijacked an earlier thread, so I am starting this new one up. Here is the original message: I have implemented Google Custom Search on enstage.opensuse.org, and I am personally very happy with the results. To try it out, you can visit http://enstage.opensuse.org/Portal:GoogleSearch and try searching on anything you want. It is about a thousand times better than what we have, and with the better relevance ranking, namespace searching is no longer an issue. While the current search is advertisement supported, I am nearly positive that we can get ad support removed. It seems that Google is pretty willing to do this for non-profits. What does everyone think? If you don't have access to the staging site, I will be more than happy to send you a screen shot of the search page. If everyone is on board, I will ask Thomas to edit the theme to make it the default search, and we'll send it live. Thanks, Matt By the way, you need access to the staging site to see this (i.e. you need to be on the Novell network). I can provide screen shots if requested.

[opensuse-wiki] Problem with pages with English titles which are redirected to pages with Dutch titles
by Freek de Kruijf 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

In Portal:SDB and probably elsewhere there is a link where you can list all page titles in SDB:. The problem is that we want to have pages with the English title to redirect to the Dutch title of that page. However both titles appear in the list of all SDB: titles. Is it possible to exclude pages in this list that have a #redirect in the text or that start with such a text? -- fr.gr.

[opensuse-wiki] Templates - downloadable version?

Hi Is there a way to use OO to create a SDB article and then just do a cut and paste, or a way so I can have a local view of how the article will look rather than use the web preview? -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.34.7-0.4-default up 15:45, 2 users, load average: 0.13, 0.14, 0.10 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 260.19.12 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] older contributors on openSUSE
by Kostas Koudaras 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

As I am looking at our wiki I wonder where I can find who contributed and where in the Greek wiki, Rajko M. send us http://el.opensuse.org/Special:ListUsers and all links to members there are broken except 2 where one of them ends up nowhere (user:Mlasars) ,even mine led nowhere and I fixed it but take a look and user diamond_gr in the list,his link is dead although he has a profile page at http://en.opensuse.org/User:Diamond_gr . it looks like we have many people contribute but since we cannot find who contributed where an we cannot find their profiles so that we may find a way to communicate with them it is very difficult. We want to tell them for our try so if they want to help us,also many people wrote some articles that we do not need to make great changes or change at all and credit should be given to them (because as someone told me,giving credit to whom he deserve it is great deal for the community). Also the Greek translation about bureaucrat is Γραφειοκράτης I am telling you that because I have another problem. On the English page when you press bureaucrat(near the name) it get you to http://en.opensuse.org/Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat and when you are there and you press the bureaucrat word it get you there(to the same point). In Greek now if you press Γραφειοκράτης it gets you nowhere, now I made a research and I found that there is an actual link about the Greek language and it is here : http://el.opensuse.org/Ειδικό:ΚατάλογοςΧρηστών/bureaucrat I tried but for some reason I cannot fix the link. Same thing happens to editor, reviewer, administrator only there I didn't found any links, at list for now :-) . Can anyone tell me why all that is happening how can I fix all that? Please remember you are talking to a rookie at wiki Stuff.

[opensuse-wiki] Problems with files in the Dutch wiki
by Freek de Kruijf 08 Oct '10

08 Oct '10

The behaviour of Files (images) in the Dutch wiki is rather unpredictable. Sometimes using the URL http://nl.opensuse.org/Bestand:Icon-cross.png shows the image properly, but somewhat later it gives the message that the file does not exits, however its description is available. The same is true for just a page with images. The images are not shown. This lasts most of the times for one day, and the next day it is OK or just one or two are not shown. -- fr.gr.

[opensuse-wiki] Mediawiki:Noarticletext ignored/broken
by Christian Boltz 08 Oct '10

08 Oct '10

Hello, I just noticed that the http://en.opensuse.org/MediaWiki:Noarticletext is no longer used for non-existing pages (for example http://en.opensuse.org/Pagenotfound ) when I am not logged in I guess this is a side effect of the update to 1.16. http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Special:AllMessages&prefix=noarticle… shows a new(?) "noarticletext-nopermission", and indeed: after logging in I see the expected "Noarticletext" for non-existing pages. Can someone with admin permissions please setup the "noarticletext- nopermission" similar to "noarticletext" so that anonymous users also get the more helpful text? ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Bill Gates bei einer Privataudienz beim Papst: "Ich biete 100 Millionen Dollar, wenn das "Vater unser" geändert wird." - "Was haben Sie sich vorgestellt?" - "Es soll heißen: Unser tägliches Windows gib uns heute."

Re: [opensuse-wiki] Help us to translate the wiki to Greek language
by Rajko M. 07 Oct '10

This might be better in a separate thread as Freek mentioned. I'm still collecting mandatory pages, as published list on: http://languages.opensuse.org/Help:Translation is not complete. List doesn't contain all pages, images, templates and categories that one needs to start translation. The plan is to create set of pages similar as that list, plus templates, images, categories and upload/import on each of language wikis. That way you as translator have to think only about your wiki, plus to add interwiki links in English wiki to pages that are already translated. This we will work on when you finish first page. Pages will be named LANG-English_title where for Greek that will be EL-English_title and that will be just redirect to actual page title in Greek. As there are pages that use sufix like Portal: or SDB: adding language prefix LANG should be handled differently, and that is main reason that I want to upload all pages modified for each language. For me is problem categorization of pages, as I would like to have them comparable to English wiki, but they don't allow redirects. So we will have to create 2 sets of categories, one for pages that begin with LANG prefix and one for translated. First set can be created and uploaded as other pages, second will be up to translator to create them on the fly. All above plans should not prevent you to start translation and ask questions as they arise. I think that way you will translate and learn at the same time, instead to go and learn a lot of translation and wiki stuff at once, then translate. You are first translators after long time that have to start from scratch, so we will help you in translation, and you will help us to learn what issues we have to put in help files for other translators and how to improve translation process. I'm sure that it will be not easy for any of involved, but no hurry, keep having a fun, and all will be good. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Lucene Search Update
by Matthew Ehle 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Good Day, So here is an update on https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=625677. After contacting the author about the spelling suggestion issue I was having, I finally got it to work. As an added bonus, I have discovered and enabled the related articles feature as well. With these features working, Lucene is definitely a better option than Sphinx now. All the "new" wikis on stage (en, dewiki, and languages) are now using Lucene search. The enstage wiki has the most content of the three, so you can get the best idea of how well it works by going there. However, those of you who are fluent in German should also try dewiki, so that you can see how well the search deals with German stemming and stopwords. The indexing takes 45-50 seconds on stage, so I'm expecting it to take about a minute to index the live English wiki, and probably another 30 seconds for the production dewiki and languages. Once everything is transitioned over to the new wiki structure, total indexing will probably be in the 10 minute range. I plan to put the indexer on a daily cron, so all changes should show up in the search within 24 hours. I am setting up a meeting with the data center to go over an OS upgrade plan so that we can get this going as soon as possible. -Matt

You can start with reading http://languages.opensuse.org/Help:Translation It explains that you can start with a page in that wiki (language.opensuse.org) with the title "GR-Main_Page" which redirects to a page with the name "Greek-name-for-main-page", obviously in Greek characters. In this last page you copy the content of the text window on http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit and after that you translate that English text into Greek. Read further on the above mentioned Help page and start creating and translating the required pages listed there. After the GR-Main_Page you can start with Help:GR-Editing which redirects to Help:Editing-in-Greek-characters. It helps when you translate these Help pages first, because you learn a lot while translating them. Have a lot of fun... -- fr.gr.
