Timetable

This will generate a html table with three rows (one per event), and a column for each month from the first month of the earliest event to the last month of the last event.

To display a timeline with years, months and days, enter the following inn your Mediawiki code:

This is the title
2009
February					March
24	25	26	27	28	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12
This is a timeline
				event1 (some comment)

It is also possible to display a timeline table with only years as columns, e.g.:

This is the title
2000	2001	2002	2003	2004	2005
This is a timeline
event1 (some comment)
		event2 (something else)
	event3

addHT

The tag can only be used on pages which are 'protected', which means you might be forced to protect a page in order to use some HTML Pages where 'addhtml' is used must be protected or else an 'unauthorized use of addhtml' message will be displayed. Read the manual in the extension folder /addHTML for more info how to use. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AddHTML

Example:

No TITLE

Add

__NOTITLE__

as first line in a page and the page title is not displayed as header (used at Main Page).

Hide the sign up link in the header

Code in LocalSettings.php -

# Prevent new user registrations except by sysops
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
# Disable reading by anonymous users
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;

Hide user IP and show 'Anonymous' instead

Show "Anonymous" instead of the user's IP (not loged in).

Open includes/user.php and go to line 1676 (MW 1.1.8 1)
Find $this->mName = IP::sanitizeIP( wfGetIP() ); and replace with
$this->mName = 'Anonymous';

Hide Toolbox from Anonymous

To remove the toolbox for users that are not logged in, Edit the file /skins/MonoBook.php.

<div class="portlet" id="p-tb">
    <h5><?php $this->msg('toolbox') ?></h5>

Replace with:

<div class="portlet" id="p-tb">
    '''<?php if($this->data['loggedin']) { ?>'''
      <h5><?php $this->msg('toolbox') ?></h5>

Then, go down to the bottom of the div block you're editing and find the section that looks like this:

wfRunHooks( 'MonoBookTemplateToolboxEnd', array( &$this ) );
?>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>

add the line (between the two /div's) that closes off your new "if" statement:

wfRunHooks( 'MonoBookTemplateToolboxEnd', array( &$this ) );
?>
      </ul>
    </div>
    '''<?php } ?>'''		
  </div>

SimpleSecurety

SimpleSecurity4 extends the way the inherent MediaWiki permissions and restrictions system works. Following is a list of the specific functionalities which are added or extended and how to use them. The extension is loaded by a code in localsettings.php. SimpleSecurity adds two parser-functions for rendering content conditionally based on security permissions or group membership. Here's a couple of examples,

{{#ifusercan:edit|Main page|Check the homepage editing [[todo list]]!|check the [[latest news]]!}}

This example renders a link to a todo list if the user has permission to edit the main page, otherwise a link to the news is rendered instead.

{{#ifgroup:sysop|Check the homepage editing [[todo list]]!|check the [[latest news]]!}}

The EmbedPDF (actual with ERROR)

INACTIVE - NO LOCALSETTING CODE !!!

Actually not working: ERROR Forum Thread

Extension adds the <pdf> tag for embedding PDF files. It supports remote and local (uploaded to MediaWiki) files. EmbedPDF will create HTML <object> with predefined width (700 px) and height (600 px). That's all. The extension is loaded by a code in localsettings.php. Usage:

 <pdf>http://some.site.com/with/a/document.pdf</pdf>
    <pdf>Your_uploaded_document.pdf</pdf>

BreadCrumbs Navigation

BreadCrumbs extension shows the users path through the wiki.

Note: This extension creates breadcrumbs in the traditional "How did I get here?" sense; use [Extension:BreadCrumbs2] for breadcrumbs in the recently popular category-based "Where am I?" sense. The extension is loaded by a code in localsettings.php

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BreadCrumbs

Displaying user name

Actually it does work as signature TAG. Try to create a welcome message: [Read forum Thread]
