One of the reasons for using MediaWiki is that it'll be easier for upgrading. MediaWiki is trival for upgrading as all the data is stored in an SQL database and the settings are stored in a file called 'LocalSettings.php'. So it should be a matter of overwriting the MediaWiki files, adding '#!/usr/local/bin/php' to 'index.php' and calling an SQL update script. I haven't performed an upgrade yet n the Redbrick Wiki so when I do I'll update these instructions. | One of the reasons for using MediaWiki is that it'll be easier for upgrading.

== | ==Customisations such as Extenstions and Scripts== | ||
Some general notes on the customisations, extensions and scripts in use on this wiki. More technical than help though, if you want help using them: go to [[Help:Contents]]. | |||
===PubCookie authentication=== | |||
This MediaWiki uses PubCookie as it's autenticator. It uses http://wiki.case.edu/CaseWiki:PubCookie_Login extension to do it but modified for MediaWiki 1.4.X. | |||
(I'll put up modifications later) | |||
===MyRSS=== | ===MyRSS=== | ||
MyRSS is a extension designed by myself for customising the RSS and ATOM output of a wiki. At some point I'll make the customisations avaliable publically, when I get around to it. | |||
===RSSFeed=== | ===RSSFeed=== | ||
[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Mafs/RSS RSSFeed] is a MediaWiki extension that allows you to incorporate RSS feeds into a wiki page. It's used on the [[Main Page]] with a feed from [http://planet.redbrick.dcu.ie Redbrick Planet]. | |||
===GoogleSiteMaps=== | ===GoogleSiteMaps=== | ||
This wiki generates a [http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/about.html Google Site Map] using script http://wiki.case.edu/misc/googleSiteMap.phps but modified for MediaWiki 1.4.X. | |||
You can see its output [http://wiki.redbrick.dcu.ie/wiki/custom/GoogleSiteMap.php?page=0 here]. | |||
(I'll put up modifications later) | |||
