MediaWiki
Contents
Installation
Global CSS
Edit page: MediaWiki:Common.css
See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ
Clear cache
Sometimes you need to clear the cache to see the changes ; especially the UI changes (favicon, CSS, logo, ...)
Use the &action=purge command.
ex: http://www.daxiongmao.eu/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=purge
Special content
Favicon
Adjust your localSettings.php
## FAVICON in PNG
$wgFavicon = "$wgScriptPath/favicon.ico";
Sidebar
Just edit MediaWiki:Sidebar
Source: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual_talk:Interface/Sidebar
Ex: http://www.daxiongmao.eu/wiki/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar
Copyright note
To adjust the text edit MediaWiki:Copyright
To configure the copyrights, adjust your LocalSettings.php
Source: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgRightsText
$wgRightsPage = ""; # Set to the title of a wiki page that describes your license/copyright
$wgRightsUrl = "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/";
$wgRightsText = "Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike";
$wgRightsIcon = "$wgScript/wiki/skins/common/images/creative_commons.png";
Image
Image upload configuration
To enable image upload you need to adjust your LocalSettings.php:
## To enable image uploads, make sure the 'images' directory
## is writable, then set this to true:
$wgEnableUploads = true;
$wgUseImageMagick = false;
$wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert";
#$wgImageMagickTempDir="{$wgUploadDirectory}/temp";
## If you want to use image uploads under safe mode,
## create the directories images/archive, images/thumb and
## images/temp, and make them all writable. Then uncomment
## this, if it's not already uncommented:
#$wgHashedUploadDirectory = false;
#$wgTmpDirectory = "{$wgUploadDirectory}/temp";
You just have to:
- Enable uploads
- Not use ImageMagick
On previous version of MediaWiki I was able to use image magick. However it seems it doesn't work anymore on OVH shared hosting... :( Instead I now rely on PHP scripts.
