MediaWikiSiteCustomization

This page contains a log of all the changes that have been done on the MediaWiki configuration, to become the RadiWiki site as it is right now. All changes to the settings of MediaWiki, and installation and modification of extensions, etc.., should be included on this page, to easily reproduce the RadiWiki site on a clean MediaWiki installation. The latest changes should be on top of the 'Log' section

Be aware that the default skin is 'dare'! This skin is used for not-logged in users. Logged-in users should use the 'monobook' skin. Both skins are the same, except that the 'top-tabs' are not shown for the 'dare' skin.

Note: Ensure that changes to the skins, are updated in the 'dare' and the 'monobook' skin

Created a dare specific skin, using the adjusted monobook as an example. Procedure that is followed to create a custom skin: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Skins

## Default skin: you can change the default skin. Use the internal symbolic
## names, ie 'standard', 'nostalgia', 'cologneblue', 'monobook':
$wgDefaultSkin = 'dare';

Implemented upload and image authorisation, using http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_Authorisation

## To enable image uploads, make sure the 'images' directory
## is writable, then set this to true:
$wgEnableUploads       = true;
$wgUseImageMagick = true;
$wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert";
$wgUploadPath = "/wiki/img_auth.php";

# Customized configuration of uploadable files
$wgFileExtensions = array ( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'pdf', 'doc', 'ppt', 'rtf', 'txt');

# Give file size warnings if the to be uploaded file is bigger
$wgUploadSizeWarning = 5 * 1024 * 1024;

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 150M
