This page is about the very wiki you're currently reading. It can hold ideas, thoughts, discussions, and feature requests.
Tips
- To make an image-map (like on the Infra and 19" rack page) check out http://www.image-maps.com.
Feature requests
- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgCapitalLinks
- Single sign-on for this wiki and future stuff
- Ajax support for space state
Keep edits marked as 'minor edit' out of the RSS to reduce spam on IRC'hideminor' => 1 in ~/includes/DefaultSettings.php- Use http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Include to get rid of the iframe for the PingScan (ExternalData and converting the pingscan output to JSON could also work) and the homepage. The security risks can be controlled now that users can only be created in the LDAP and the use of the Include extension can be limited to certain URL's/domains in LocalSettings.php.
- "Watch"-link on pages does nothing: pages don't appear on the Special:Watchlist. (it does work when you open the "watch" link in another tab/window)
- CSS tweaking so H2 (==) doesn't look bigger than H1 (=). Same for H3 vs H2.
- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MsUpload for nice inplace uploads with drag&drop
Todo
SSLMigrate current users to LDAP (including password if possible and use LDAP for authentication from then on.- Build a todo scraper to summarize all todo's on different pages
Status
The wiki can read information from the LDAP through the External Data extension. This is in the LocalSettings.php:
#LDAP lookups $edgLDAPServer['ldap.nurdspace.nl'] = "ldaps://ldap.nurdspace.nl/"; $edgLDAPBaseDN['ldap.nurdspace.nl'] = "dc=nurdspace,dc=lan"; $edgLDAPUser['ldap.nurdspace.nl'] = "cn=read-user,ou=systems,dc=nurdspace,dc=lan"; $edgLDAPPass['ldap.nurdspace.nl'] = "xxxxxxx";
You can list information from a single entry like so:
{{#get_ldap_data:
domain=ldap.nurdspace.nl
|filter=(uid=username)
|data=CommonName=cn
}}
{{#external_value:CommonName}}
Here "cn" is the name of the attribute in the LDAP for the entry where attribute "uid" has value "username". This gives the attribute the local variable name "CommonName" which is then displayed by the template.
