Completed Tasks
Import Images from WikiGreen
These steps were completed for integrating WikiGreen (ExportWIkiSite) into Appropedia (ImportWIkiSite), but could be used to upload many photos from any repository:
- download images folder from ExportWikiSite
- Remove unwanted folders, such as temp, archive and thumb (these will be recreated)
- Flatten directory
- I know that there is some way to do this with tar, or recursive copy, but I gave up and downloaded the freeware xxcopy (www.xxcopy.com)
- xxcopy "C:\ImageFolder" "C:\ImageFolderFlat" /SG
- Make sure to use /SG the one normally suggested renames augments the filenames.
- Check for duplicates with ImportWikiSite
- Rename any duplicates, then (if you are importing pages as well) find reference to the old name in the imported pages and change name to the new name.
- Use importImages.php
- For some reason the version show php5 but commands were being executed by php4 so I used:
/usr/local/php5/bin/php importImages.php --user=Lonny --comment="From www.wikigreen.org via Eric Blazek" ../WGImgFlat png
- Do this for each filetype, e.g. jpg, gif, etc.
- For some reason the version show php5 but commands were being executed by php4 so I used:
- In addition, something happened to the importImages.php file in transport, so I redownloaded it, and everything worked.
Site Map
- Google Sitemap extension
- Somewhere I have a detailed set of instructions on how I made this happen. I will try to find them.
- Must visit Special:GoogleSitemap&limit=5000 often. Change limit to meet number of pages we want indexed.
Short URLs
- See wikimedia and User:Helge.at
- Set path in LocalSettings.php to
$wgArticlePath = "/$1";
- Added .htaccess to root with the following content
RewriteEngine on # Don't rewrite requests for files in MediaWiki subdirectories, # MediaWiki PHP files, HTTP error documents, favicon.ico, or robots.txt RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(stylesheets|images|skins|extensions) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(redirect|texvc|index).php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/error/(40(1|3|4)|500).html RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/favicon.ico RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/robots.txt RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/nowiki # include these last two lines if you use the analog stats RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/failed_auth.html$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/stats RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?title=$1 [QSA]
