New page

<-[[MediaWiki User's Guide]]

== Questions ==

* Please help! Mediawiki is stumping me on a couple of configuration issues. First, I'd like to rename "Image List" to "Upload List," as has been done here. Second, I'd like to remove completely the links to the rss/atom feeds--how do I do this? --[[User:Artemisi link|Artemisi link]] 21:27, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

* [[Access Restrictions]]

== Navigation Tabs ==
How do I change the "discussion" tab at the top of the page to "News"?
:Check the [[Special:Allmessages|System Messages]], under [[Special:Specialpages|Special pages]].

== Configuration of Image Marker ==

is there a way to supply an image for the box with the red x when linking to a file like a doc file or pdf file ??

== Change lock defaults ==
1. Set new pages to locked
What to do to make newly created pages get ''locked'' by default?

2. Set uploads disabled for users
What to do to restrict file upload to the e.g. ''sysop'' group?

== Using external SMTP server ==
For using an external smtp server you need to define $wgSMTP

$wgSMTP = array(
"host" => 'smtp.your-server.extension',
"IDHost" => 'your-domain.extension',
"port" => "25",
"auth" => true/false,
"username" => user,
"password" => password
);

This function relies on the [[w:PEAR|PEAR's]] [http://pear.php.net/package/Mail Mail] packages. After installing you have to include the location to your include path. What is located in the beginning of LocalSettings.php:

ini_set( "include_path", ".:$IP:$IP/includes:$IP/languages:/usr/share/php" );

The last part ('''/usr/share/php''') is pointing to the directory where Mail.php is

=== Comment for v1.6.7 ===
I tried this in mediawiki 1.6.7 on Windows and found that there you have to change the $path array (in LocalSettings.php) instead:

$path = array( $IP, "$IP/includes", "$IP/languages", "C:\PHP\PEAR");

where "C:\PHP\PEAR" is the location of Mail.php.
<br>Note that there are two files of that name: Mail.php in the PEAR root and mail.php in subdirectory "Mail". I set the include path to the PEAR root and it works.

=== Note for Windows servers ===

PEAR must not be downloaded from php.net. Use go-pear.bat found in the PHP folder (usually C:\PHP) and then run '''c:\pear\pear.bat -install mail''' which will download and install Mail automatically.
