Hello, I do IT for a nonprofit that runs a specialized MediaWiki wiki for people with chronic pain. It's our main project, and we'd like to use CentralNotice on it because of several features that make it superior to SiteNotice for our use.
I've installed it and set up a test banner and a campaign. Interestingly, the test notice doesn't appear when you access a page via the short URL, but does appear when you access it through the long URL. For example, the SiteNotice currently is set to display the phrase, "For testing purposes only: CentralNotice is working." You will only see that phrase if you navigate to the first of the following two links: http://www.tmswiki.org/w/index.php?title=The_Tension_Myositis_Syndrome_Wiki http://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/The_Tension_Myositis_Syndrome_Wiki Theoretically, the above two URLs refer to the same resource. We used the "Recommended how-to guide (setup used on Wikipedia)" method for setting up Short URLs. The key line, in httpd.conf, is Alias /ppd /home/ptpn/public_html/w/index.php Many thanks for any help you can offer. We're very eager to get this set up.

CentralNotice was installed from 1.18 version today) _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
