[opensuse-wiki] openSUSE wiki update
Announcement on our news server: http://news.opensuse.org/2009/12/05/update-to-opensuse-org/ came earlier then expected for the openSUSE Wiki Team, and we were thrilled with update, new hardware, etc. Of course Mediawiki software update from version 1.5 that is couple of years old to the recent 1.15 is bound to have a problems as our customizations in layout and structure doesn't work well in all details, or are not available right now. In earlier email Remy listed bugs that we are aware of and the webmaster@opensuse.org is notified about problems. Here is the reordered list from Remy's email with comments: 1) The namespace SBD:SBD has disappeared. No more support database .. Don't panic, the articles are in a database. It is just that SDB namespace is not configured and Mediawiki software has no idea how to access articles. Once it will be added again all articles will appear in their places. Note: Do not recreate articles on your own. Once SDB is recreated any article that will be created now will disappear with all changes that you made. The Mediawiki can handle only one title SDB:Article and that is either normal article with colon in the title, or article that belongs to namespace SDB, and colon has special meaning as namespace delimiter. Both can be in database, but only one can be presented to the web page viewer. 2) The internal relative links [[/subpage]] are now broken. Only absolute links [[page/subpage]] are allowed. The subpages is additional functionality not in default Mediawiki configuration and it doesn't work right now. 3) The <iimg></iimg> tag isn't interpreted anymore. I am not sure if there is a way to fix this, or if we should avoid using it in the future. 4)The [edit] button is now on the left, next to the title sections/subsections. It makes the headings difficult to read. - There are now 2 horizontal lines on the bottom of each page, between the Categories and the end of the articles. 5) The "Recent changes" link in the Toolbox isn't working anymore. 6) It is now impossible to upload file on the wiki with error: Internal error - The upload directory (public) is not writable by the web server. This one is server access problem, and it is up to the webmaster to solve it. 7) When user that is not logged into wiki request article from http://en.opensuse.org/ it is often served identical article from some other language wiki. Example: http://en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA or http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_11.2 . -- Regards Rajko, openSUSE Wiki Team: http://en.opensuse.org/Wiki_Team People of openSUSE: http://en.opensuse.org/People_of_openSUSE/About -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

What about this? We are seeing pages in German or Polish or who knows, instead of English. This makes the site completely useless :-( - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

No way! I'm not going to log in if I can't understand what I see. Anyway, it is working now. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Login in a wiki was workaround for the problem, but login in the wiki that you want to use, not the one that accidentally showed up :)
Anyway, it is working now.
