Logo

Question 1

Logo: how to reference to an arbitrary tree position for the image file?

To set up your own logo, one has to follow the explanation of the configuration page: logo_string = u'<img src= "/wiki/mylogo.png"> My local notebook-Wiki'

It is not explained, but mylogo.png must be contained in the htdocs directory (MMDE\wiki\htdocs\).

I would like to keep mylogo in MMDE\myimages\mylogo.png

I did try several combinations with no luck. How should be img src= "?"

Answer 1

• This is not possible.

Question 1b

Perhaps I did not explained correctly. I found out that <img src= _C:\Program Files\MMDE\myimages\mylogo.png_> (replace _ by ") works, so that -locally, for viewing in the same pc- you get the right image. Clicking with the right mouse, image properties, it says _file:///C:/Program%20Files/MMDE/myimages/mylogo.png_

But I keep my wiki in a USB stick (runs deadly slow but runs) so that this solution is not valid as I get a different drive letter on each computer. I could construct a .bat that would construct dynamically a config.py so to point to the corresponding letter ... but ... would there be anything easier? I do not need that it works for browsing on a different PC from where the wiki is working, but I am trying to find a way to un-link the url of the specific letter of the drive.

I did try <img src= _\Program Files\MMDE\myimages\mylogo.png_> and <img src= _.\myimages\mylogo.png_> and so many conbinations ...

Updating process

Question 1a

I had already installed a MMDE version. I had deleted all english version system pages, added spanish version system pages, and added a lot of plugins etc.

Can I "upgrade" to the new version just extracting the moin.exe from the new downloadable version or further changes are needed? Are there new system pages that I would need? Any other things?

• Yes, see below. You might need to reinstall the latest system pages in your preferred languages.

Question 1b

If just copying moin.exe is not enough, can you help me with easy update ideas?

• It is enough.

Question 1c

I believe it would be very nice to have a donwloadable kind of MMDE "upgrade friendly" version. Could you prepare such for future versions?

• Just copy all the files and restore your wikiconfig after that.

Thanks for above replys.

Difficulties with macros

MMDE 1.5.5.a, running as service

I am having some difficulties with some macros

Question 1a

EmbedObject: I try to show a pdf and nothing shows up. Is it MMDE specific? Can you reproduce it?

Upload new attachment "abc.pdf" shows up in this wiki. May be try this version from FeatureRequests/EmbedObject -- ReimarBauer 2006-11-04 16:23:38

• Thanks Reimar. Seems that I do have a plug problem ... Anyhow, I did test the last version of the macro. If I include width and height I at least see an empty rectangle with an icon inside. But do have to include width and heigh otherwise nothing appears.

Question 1b

Include: I have an include with regex selection of pages (^pagename.*) and new pages are not included until I stop the service and start it again (cache cleaning is not enough). Is it MMDE specific? Can you reproduce it?

Question 1c

EventCalendar: Pages (with CategoryEventCalendar) that should show after creation do not show up even after cache refresh, I need to go over the stop/start service duty. I did post a question in the macro page to no answer. Is it MMDE specific? Can you reproduce it?

Moving to cgi

I have been using MMDE for a bit. It has been great, but I would like to change to a cgi setup. I've got everything working fine on the cgi side, but have been unable to figure out how to successfully copy the files from my MMDE folders into the new wiki. I keep getting a "You are not allowed to view this page." error.

DesktopEdition 1.6 available?

I installed a wiki farm with version 1.6 and some people want to use the DestopEdition to read pages on the road. I wrote an export script, but the markup from the farm and the DesktopEdition is not compatible. Is a DestopEdition 1.6 available for testing purposes? -- Frank

You can just install python 2.5 (if not already installed), unpack the moin download archive and start the moin.py file in the top directory. It will then run in MMDE mode.
