Track record praia.unik.no - 2014
Think about a global variable “Language=EN” (=NO” if Language=EN | TitleEN | TitleNO

changes to settings. ….
 * created NewsNO, NewsEN
 * TitleEN, TitleNO


 * still major failure: all newly defined properties of type text appear as pages. Examples are Property:NewsDE

= AIFB.KIT.edu setup =
 * how is the AIFB set up??

names in “Deutsch”, e.g. Rudi_Studer
 * using templates

English Rudi_Studer/en uses only

= Template Mitarbeiter/en = alle templates sind auf cwi.unik.no verfügbar: Template:Mitarbeiter und Template:Mitarbeiter/en

ask EN
….

old track record 2012
18.05.2012
 * Semantic Social Profile edit (but database not rebuilt - don't dare), including SocialProfile
 * http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Social_Profile
 * usage:

21.03.2012
 * All unnecessary users, which contain numerical values in their usernames have been deleted from mediawiki database.

15.03.2012
 * added citation see example used in cwi.unik.no/wiki/Mobilstraaling

08.01.2012
 * add Mass Delete through Special:Nuke
 * add confirm Edit for Captcha
 * tried TitleBlacklist - failed to work (blocked all user creation), commented out in LocalSettings.php (installed for ict. and cwi...)

01.12.2011 28.11.2011
 * just for our information... [[Image:UnderAttack.png|150px|right]]
 * added namespace iTrain to jbv.unik.no

19.11.2011
 * Semantic properties are not exported, see []
 * changed LocalSettings_cwi.php - add $smwgNamespacesWithSemanticLinks = - did not help

15.11.-18.11.2011
 * DoS attack - 40 GByte log file in /var/log/??? (apache error)

14.11.2011
 * allow user account creation for cwi.unik.no (Josef)

12.11.2011
 * All wiki instances setting files except LocalSettings.php have been moved to settings folder under mediawiki in order to have better maintenance.
 * All old setting files have been moved to /mediawiki/settings/history folder. In future all old setting files need to be save there, instead of mediawiki folder. - Josef: dissagree, the files should remain in the settings folder, to allow an easier "undo". From time to time we can do a remove of obsolete "old" versions

Access Control through Simple Security
 * Installed security extension to enforce name space acces control (SimpleSecurity)
 * Yeboo and SMT namespace are now accessible only by YebooUsers and SMTUsers respectively - access to Namespaces and Category given through LocalSettings_cwi.php

05.11.2011
 * moved specific pSHIELD access control from Global LocalSettings.php to LocalSettings_pshield.php
 * tested different set-up on cwi and jbv
 * cwi did not work - redone into previous working stage, including namespaces Yeboo and SMT
 * jbv did not work, same behaviour for namespaces Public and Unik:Main_Page (don't know why)

Access Control Matrix for MediaWIki

The extensions "Group based ACL", "Lockdown", "PermissionACL", "SemanticACL" and "HaloACL" are tested. These extensions are not compatible with MediaWiki 1.17 and lot of bugs are experienced during the test. The extensions leverage the complexity level in defining the access rights on the existing pages and groups. Moreover, the "HaloACL" extension does not contain patch for Mediawiki 1.17 and this patch is necessary to complete the installation process and to run the extension successfully.

Observations: The "Group based ACL" contains readonly (ro) flag, which allows user to read a page and to restrict edit. Upon settting this flag on a page for a specific group then the page is not readable anymore and prompts "NO ACCESS". The "Lockdown" and "PermissionACL" restrict the whole mediawiki and prompt the "Permission error" for all users even for administrtaor. The "SemanticACL" extension fails to load the mediawiki upon setting "SemanticACL.php".

Estimation and RoadMap of Implementing Access Control for MediaWiki
The HaloExtension requires necessary pathes and user databases to be updated thus the testing of the HaloExtension on test server will be perfomred first.

Upon succesful testing the HaloExtension will be installed and configured on the real machine.

1 working week will be spent.

 * Install Semantic Tasks (Josef)

$ sudo vi /etc/crontab 0 12 * * * php extensions/SemanticTasks/ST_CheckForReminders.php



15 September 2011


 * Install clone of smwiki on the same machine, for testing of new installations
 * Test installations there, before copying to the smwiki (mainly concerned LocalSettings.php) and upgrade of Extensions

09Sep2011 automatic generated page for an ActionItem (in ict.unik.no and pshield.unik.no) in MediaWiki:Sidebar

** Special:FormEdit/ActionItem|ActionItem

in Form:ActionItem

This is the "ActionItem" form. To create a page with this form, enter the page name below; if a page with that name already exists, you will be sent to a form to edit that page.

call:

http://ict.unik.no/wiki/Special:FormEdit/ActionItem

07 September 2011


 * Upgrade medaiwiki to v1.17 and semantic medaiwiki to v1.6.1, recommendation longer down
 * following the procedure desribed on mediawiki/semantic mediawiki web pages
 * FAILED due to inconsistency of databases before and after upgrade
 * if some tables don´t exist, create them through patches described on Mediawiki
 * our extension where working when applying patches for tables
 * after upgrade of mediawiki, semantic mediawiki showed lot´s of error messages
 * all images were deleted
 * Noted edit, upload, form edit problems after upgrade due to some new tables include in MW v1.71 and SMW v1.61. The problems are fixed at mysql level - a tedious job.

Recommendation


 * Backup All LocalSettings files, ./images directory and MySQL database before upgrade.
 * disable all Sematic stuff in LocalSettings.php
 * upgrade mediawiki then test mediawiki
 * enable "one-by-one" semantic extensions, starting with semantic mediawiki
 * Upgrade requires compatibility check of already installed extensions. A good thing to upgrade at least all SMW extension to their latest version.

06-09Sep2011

04. Feb 2011

SMTP issue is fixed now, tested with dummy user and working smoothly. However, this functionality depends on UNIK Exchnage server, any change from IT DRIFT can effect this. So, if it will not work need to check with Trond. Email notification comes from wikiadmin@smwiki.unik.no

28. Jan 2011


 * smtp when user creates account does not work

20. Jan 2011


 * Observation: when you provide link of some page in email, for instance http://smwiki.unik.no/wiki/WPall_20_Jan_2010 do not forget to specify which wiki the apache should call. The previous URL should be http://smwiki.unik.no/wiki/WPall_20_Jan_2010?w=pshield so that if user click on the link the apache can resolve.

20. jan 2011


 * Change of mediawiki long URL to pretty URL, which means that /mediawiki/index.php is replace with /wiki
 * New URL --> http://smwiki.unik.no/wiki But this requires update of all old links to smwiki.unik.no/mediawiki/index.php especially in side bar.
 * No need to redirect on UNIK mediawiki, just type smwiki.unik.no and it will take to the UNIK mediawiki
 * case sensitivty for ?w=xxx has been removed.
