AfterWorld Survival Forum

Ok the new wiki is up and running and so far looks good.  Like a bonehead I deleted the images folder from the server and have to load them again so that will take as long as ftping 12k files takes.

Also a bunch of extensions need to be loaded after the images for use to use in making new pages. 

So give it a little time to settle and load most the images and then tell me what's wrong and what I need to fix!  Hopefully you all wont find much.   For those who wanted accounts for the time being I have turned on account creation again and hopefully  this new version wont let spammers on as easy.  So you can not create your own accounts and start updating.

MASSIVE UPDATING NOTICE!  Do not go nuts on massive updates until first we make sure everything is ok and after tonight's backups on the server.  I don't want to lose hours of work because something server side didn't work right.   so wait until I give you the nod to do so. 

and since the stats are resetting now on the pages, just a note that the old website was just short of 1M edits.  we should be proud

Party on!

Known problem

"Error creating thumbnail: Invalid thumbnail parameters"

on large PNG files has something to do with the server this wiki is now on and working to fix.
----------------------------------

Problem Mostly fixed.   Very large files (Over 3000x3000 pixel) still a problem but all other files fixed with new memory settings.   Unable to fix larger files do to limitations of setup of server.

Known issue can't upload new images.   server permissions problems of which I have very little ability to change......   trying

FIXED!  Bank has got the server permissions to flow perfectly.  you can now upload images.   Remember keep them less then 2000x2000

Regarding Wiki account creation.
Is there anyway to link this to having a forum account (e.g. make a wiki new account enter their member number and player name; or send a forum PM with  activation link ... might need DL help or have a special form account so that wiki can logon and send PMs)?


fixed.  Users create account and have to wait for the accounts to by us admins.   least saving us some work...    Brick did find a addon that possibly could help us connect the wiki directly to the user accounts ingame..  but that will need coding from bank and I think we can all agree the game coding is more important at the moment.

It's too bad it (apparently) can't be as "easily" linked as our in-game accounts are to our forum accounts here. That would save a ton of hassle as far as administration, make it much easier for players to make the edits that they want to, and link all edits to in-game accounts (which is nice for accountability purposes). Maybe some day...

So far everything looks as good as it apparently can look, though I'm not sure if what I've seen is related to the errors you noted above. Is that why some images show a broken image link, but when you click it you get to the image's wiki page which displays fine?

ya its good.  but the image problem and few smaller problems are kicking my ass.   so don't do much on it.. we might be moving it to the one I built on my host.

ya my host has its own DDOS system.  I use siteground which is built for joomla/drupul/mediawiki/wordpress 

at this minute I have no outstanding issues with the wiki.  so find some people.

at this minute my next project is translation pages for the wiki.  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Translate
this allows you the every day wiki user to login and translate a sentence here and thee (Or a lot of them) into your home language.  When done a language bar will appear as it does on the link to the extension.    Anyone think this might be useful?
