Fixed command ''bin/publish'' to properly upload linked (with ''bin/mwtool'') MediaWiki to the production server.
 +
Rsync option ''--copy-links'' seems to do just the right thing. It installs a copy of currently linked MW,
 +
so everything is conveniently in one nice place on the production server.
 +
This supposedly means that one can take the contents of the ''wiki'' directory + database and have it work right.

Production server seems to work a bit better now. Still on the lookout for problems, so report if you find any.

Extensions from SVN

  • linked some extensions to their respectiove SVN versions
  • vector is now default skin. CSS is in Vector.css
  • new SVG graphics embedding feature in Common.js

New MediaWiki installed

by Ziga on Oct 19, 2009

Fixed command bin/publish to properly upload linked (with bin/mwtool) MediaWiki to the production server. Rsync option --copy-links seems to do just the right thing. It installs a copy of currently linked MW, so everything is conveniently in one nice place on the production server. This supposedly means that one can take the contents of the wiki directory + database and have it work right.

Production server seems to work a bit better now. Still on the lookout for problems, so report if you find any.

MW extensions that are used will need to be linked to their SVN versions, too...

Separating MediaWiki from our customized stuff

by Ziga on Oct 15, 2009

We are still in the process of spearating MediaWiki code from the stuff we added and customized.

  • new command bin/mwtool which attaches user's installation to a (possibly system wide) MediaWiki installation.

This allows us to update MediaWiki directly from SVN. Seems to work on dev server.

Needs more work (bin/publish).

Production MW is currently a bit broken, because DB was updated, but software not yet. Needs more work and testing.

New development server

by Ziga on Oct 14, 2009

Plugin development will go on here so that editorial work on main site can proceed...

Succesful demo

by Ziga on Oct 11, 2009

  • lots of updates...
  • favorable demonstration

  • fixed few sizes, so the video doesn't wrap. great!!! this required patching barindamaged videoflash extension a bit.

Meeting day

by Ziga on Sep 17, 2009

Par idej:

  • prvi korak do "elektronskih razpisov"; dovolj je, da prijavitlji na razpis izjavijo, da so podatki na wikiju tocni.
  • planirani koledar dogodkov za boljse planiranje dogodkov
  • To-Do list & Site news together now

More good stuff...
