Extension talk:PublicCat.php

I have my wiki in www.domain.com/wiki. How do I make publiccat work here where the wiki is placed in a subcatalogue? -Brynte 04:04, 14 December 2007 (NZDT)

What do you mean by subcatalogue? (subdirectory? subdomain?) --Nad 08:21, 14 December 2007 (NZDT)

Oh, subdirectory, sorry. -Brynte 02:03, 15 December 2007 (NZDT)

Ehm. I meant directory. (English is not native.) -Brynte 03:52, 15 December 2007 (NZDT)

It shouldn't matter what directory path your installation is at - what exactly are you needing to do and what are the symptoms of the problem? --Nad 09:37, 15 December 2007 (NZDT)

I'm trying to get publiccat to work. The public pages works fine at www.domain.com/wiki. I can also access a very simple start page at wiki.domain.com but all links go to '404 Not Found'-pages. -Brynte 12:28, 16 December 2007 (NZDT)

You should not get any 404's from the "wiki" subdomain - are they occurring in "wiki" or "www" or both? --Nad 09:25, 17 December 2007 (NZDT)

As I said www.domain.com/wiki works fine but not wiki.domain.com or wiki.domain.com/wiki or whatever. -Brynte 12:57, 17 December 2007 (NZDT)

Did you set $wgPublicCatPrivatePattern to anything or leave it as default? --Nad 13:42, 17 December 2007 (NZDT)

I set it to the wiki directory name. -Brynte 19:42, 17 December 2007 (NZDT)

Youre not making it easy for me to help, what exactly is $wgPublicCatPrivatePattern set to? --Nad 21:00, 17 December 2007 (NZDT)

Ok, sorry, I'll try better. My domain is www.tulajv.se and the wiki is in a directory called 'aiwiki'. That is: www.tulajv.se/aiwiki. Without publiccat www.tulajv.se/aiwiki and tulajv.se/aiwiki works fine. Not aiwiki.tulajv.se though. With publiccat and the $wgPublicCatPrivatePattern set to aiwiki: $wgPublicCatPrivatePattern = '/^aiwiki\\./'; that is, www.tulajv.se/aiwiki works as it should. All the articles in [[Kategori:Hemsidan]] are shown and all other pages show 404. Trouble is that aiwiki.tulajv.se does not work as I explained above. Is this enough information? If you visit the site right now I don't have publiccat activated since we need the wiki.. Thanks for your help! -Brynte 11:42, 18 December 2007 (NZDT)

Yep that info is very good :-) Firstly that $wgPublicCatPrivatePattern applies to the subdomain not directory path, so you need to either set up another domain or designate public and private based on the presence of www or not. If you make www public and no www private, you could set $wgPublicCatPrivatePattern to /^tulajv\\./. --Nad 20:49, 18 December 2007 (NZDT)

Hey, it works, even though I didn't quite understand what you just wrote |-: Thank you very much!! -Brynte 02:29, 19 December 2007 (NZDT)

Specialpages

Is there any way to block the specialpages? -Brynte 14:03, 27 January 2008 (NZDT)

Try Extension:Lockdown --Rob 22:33, 27 January 2008 (NZDT)

It works fine, thank you! -Brynte 03:22, 28 January 2008 (NZDT)
