Forum:Interwiki exchange

<<< Back to The Administrator's League • <<< Back to Forum

Hey folks,

?media is coming along well. Fiddled with .htaccess tonight to get clean urls working, so now I'd like to request the following adds to your Special:Interwiki:

Prefix	URL	Forward	Transclude
?media	http://illogicomedia.org/w/$1	no	no
illogicomedia	http://illogicomedia.org/w/$1	no	no

I've already added corresponding return links here at ?media.

How do you do that thingy for the urls, anyway? I'm too lazy to figure it out myself. ~ 05:26, 3 Serpeniver 2011

There are pretty good instructions at MW org. For me, it took this:

LocalSettings.php

# SHORT URLS:
$wgArticlePath = "/w/$1";	# Virtual path
$wgUsePathInfo = true;

.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

# existing code for my wordpress installs
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/w/*

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# to add mediawiki short urls, plus the ^/w/* line above
RewriteRule ^w/(.*)$ /mediawiki/index.php?title=$1 [PT,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^w/*$ /mediawiki/index.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^w$ /mediawiki/index.php [L,QSA]

</IfModule>

Thanks for adding those. ~ The Bard of Illogicopedia 05:59, 3 Serpeniver 2011 (UTC)

Awesome! Now we can transubstatiate audio cues to bring about an apocalypso! Monsignor Onslow Peaches - Speak slowly into the tube 17:11, 3 Serpeniver 2011 (UTC)

Sorry. Please tweak linked addresses to say /w/ instead of /wiki/ (as changed in top table). I had to change the virtual directory to stop a conflict it was causing with another wiki I have installed in a physical directory with that name. :P ~ The Bard of Illogicopedia 20:04, 3 Serpeniver 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the bittles, man. This may prove quite useful. ~ 08:34, 4 Serpeniver 2011

Anytime. It was an interesting task getting it working. ~ The Bard of Illogicopedia 08:51, 4 Serpeniver 2011 (UTC)
