To collect mails from pop accounts, we use fetchmail. To configure it, use the file .fetchmailrc in your home directory. It should look like this:
 
+
  poll ''pop.provider.net''
= Setup =
+
        user "''username@provider.net''"
* [[Set up mediawiki with SUSE]]
+
        pass "''password''"
 
+
        is ''localuser''
= Configuration =
+
        mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f fetchmail"
For all configuration options in LocalSettings see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:MediaWiki_configuration_settings.
+
Replace
 
+
* ''localuser'' with your local user on your Linux box.
== Disable anonymous editing ==
+
* ''pop.provider.net'' with your provider's pop server name.
 
+
* ''username@provider.net'' with your mail address
To disable anonymous editing, edit LocalSetting.php. Below the line containing $wgDBpassword, add the following lines:
+
* ''password'' with your password at the provider
$wgGroupPermissions['*'    ]['edit']            = false;
 
$wgGroupPermissions['*'    ]['createpage']      = false;
 
$wgGroupPermissions['*'    ]['createtalk']      = false;
 
These lines disallow creating and editing pages for all groups (*), it remains allowed only for logged-in users.
 
 
 
== Allowing pictures ==
 
 
 
If you are the only editor of a wiki (otherwise [[security]] flaws!) and want to allow pictures from all over the web, add the following line to the LocalSettings.php
 
$wgAllowExternalImages = true;
 
below the line
 
require_once( "includes/DefaultSettings.php" );
 
 
 
== Allow all html tags ==
 
 
 
If you are the only editor of a wiki (otherwise [[security]] flaws!) and want to allow any html code in your wiki, read and follow http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgRawHtml
 
 
 
== Changing the sidebar ==
 
 
 
This is done on the [[application]] level; just edit [[Mediawiki:Sidebar]].
 
 
 
== beautify URL ==
 
 
 
By default, mediawiki's main page is in http://whatever/index.php/Main_Page. To get rid of "index.php", read and follow http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL
 
 
 
== allow searching for short terms ==
 
On a default installation of mediawiki you cannot search for words shorter than 4 characters. So a search for "foo" will not yield results. To change this, read and follow [[allow searching for short terms in mediawiki]].
 
 
 
== introduce path-based navigation ==
 
Want an article '''foo/bar''' to have a heading that links to '''foo'''?

== Namespaces ==
 
Namespaces in Mediawiki allow you to limit searches within a group of articles, the namespace. For setting them up, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Using_custom_namespaces.

See [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] and [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]].
 
 
 
== Google Analytics ==
 
Google Analytics allows you to track how many visitors from where visited your site when, remained how long and much more. The only thing you have to do is to register your site with http://www.google.com/analytics and put a JavaScript code snippet into your page. This code snipped should be directly above the
 
</head>
 
tag in your page's HTML code.

* on ''mars'', delete LocalSettings.php
 
* call your wiki on mars. You get the opportunity to set up your wiki.

* attention! If you use two mediawiki instances on one host, always use the same passwords for the database use
 
* on earth, do a backup of your content to backup.xml. Copy it to your local computer.
 
* log on to the wiki on mars as WikiSysop, choose Special Pages -> Import Pages and upload backup.xml.
 
* all pages are imported! Look for Main_Page's history, you will find an addtional version containing earth's actual main page.
 
* you may have to adjust upload_max_filesize in /etc/php5/apache2

To collect mails from pop accounts, we use fetchmail. To configure it, use the file .fetchmailrc in your home directory. It should look like this:

poll pop.provider.net
        user "username@provider.net"
        pass "password"
        is localuser
        mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f fetchmail"

Replace

  • localuser with your local user on your Linux box.
  • pop.provider.net with your provider's pop server name.
  • username@provider.net with your mail address
  • password with your password at the provider
