Please forgive me if this is a novice question - I'm a neophyte when it comes to MediaWiki.
I'm looking for Video extensions to add to a MediaWiki project. Some are probably popular and some are arcane. I would like to choose an extension that lots of other Wikis also use. Examples of video extensions here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Video_player_extensions
If this were a WordPress project, I would be able to see the popularity of plug-ins here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/browse/popular/
Is there a way to find the popularity of MediaWiki extensions? I've found lots "top-ten" lists, but I'd rather just get straight to the number of Wiki installations that use a given extension.
Thanks and regards,
Ray
Edit: On the MediaWiki mailing list, a colleague suggested the WikiApiary. Perfect!

The extensions and their popularity can be found here:

I'm developing a website that's multilanguage. There are lots of solutions for example with database, .mo files, static php files etc. But what is the best way? Please can you give advice? Thanks..
I would go for gettext. As it is a de-facto standard and is used in many applications in different languages. Many people use it means bigger community and good support.
If you search for gettext in stackoverflow, you'll get good resources and examples.
Getting started with it in PHP:

As Ardy said, Gettext is a good solution and has native integration with php, you could combine with intl for Internazionalization.
Another alternative is the Zend Framework 2 module I18n, but has dependencies with other ZF2 modules.
I have to learn TYPO3 4.3 for my new job (I don't have much time). I already grasped some back-end stuff and basics of typoscript, but since I learn best by doing, my first goal is to build a blog based on that CMS. I don't want to use any existing blog extensions, because I want to learn to write them myself. I want to be able to tag pages (my blog entries) and enable users to put comments under the blog entry - the usual wordpess stuff.
Could anyone give me some tips and point me to places with some useful resources, so I can reach my goal?
I recommend you try the new extension framework "extBase". There's a book which walks you through the creation of a blog example extension.
Unfortunatly the book is only available in German, but there's an effort under way to translate it to English. With a little help from Google you might be able to find an English version (translation in progress) of the book online...
The blog example extension is also available in the public extension repository: http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/blog_example/current/ or http://forge.typo3.org/projects/typo3-mvcblogexample
You can find some good developer tutorials at typo3 wiki: http://wiki.typo3.org/Overview_Developer_Manuals. There is also some documentation about extBase.
You can use the news extension (tt_news) plus the comments extension together to form a basic blog within minutes (well maybe an hour or so with some styling), no coding required.
We have an editors guide available at http://www.seethroughweb.com/typo3-support.html, which doesn't go into development at all, but is helpful for getting a handle on how editors can work with a site.

As TYPO3 is an open source project, and all extensions are open source too, the best way, it's to analyze them, and to hack.
So, You should install some extensions, which are near on functional level to Your future blog extension and simple enough, and to hack it in different way, using version control to have the possibility to backup Your experiments.
Extensions, which I could advice You : comments, tt_news.
Probably You will need some time in the begining to install and configure these extensions.
Use existing extensions. That's the best advise. Because those were tested by many users.
But if you want to write an own version, buy some books (for old or new way) and take an existing version as example.
I have tried googling a lot but couldn't find a library which can provide me single-sign on feature for my website.
I am looking for similar script like stackoverflow is using for facebook, twitter, google, openid etc...
I have tried hybridauth, http://hybridauth.sourceforge.net/ but it's not working for me.
Could you guys please suggest me other alternatives?
I've seen several website using this library : http://www.janrain.com/products/engage
(formerly https://rpxnow.com/)
I have not personally tried..
Why not OpenID itself? I heard good thing about it, and the same, as you specified, SO use it. There's an OpenID website that keep track of all libraries found from official OpenID team of third-part solution that you can find here: http://openid.net/developers/libraries/.
Choose what suits best your needs.
Notice that they warn you:
We have setup a code repository for gathering libraries and other supporting examples. While several of these libraries have been tested, they are maintained by members of the OpenID community and are not necessarily known to work.
i searched alot but didnt find a tutorial on how to install ckeditor for media wiki
i asked there but no one answered , im sure , i should ask here , but as you are professionals maybe know it
thanks in advance
As you probably know, you can integrate CKEditor's precedessor, FCKEditor, with MediaWiki: MediaWiki+FCKEditor
As far as I can see, there is a successor project underway (See discussion here):
Yes, we'll be working on MediaWiki+CKEditor. It will not happen before the final stable CKEditor 3.0 release though.
But as far as I can see, it has not been released yet. Integration does not seem to be entirely trivial, because CKEditor would actually have to produce different code that works with MediaWiki.
You may have to go with FCKEditor for the moment.
I know your question is old but I've been looking to integrate CKEditor for a while now and there is very little information concerning this on the net! For anyone else who might be looking:
I found this on MediaWiki in FCKEditor section of the WYSIWYG_editor page:
Ontoprise's halo team is maintaining a production quality integration
of MediaWiki and CKEditor: Extension:WYSIWYG.
I installed it on our MediaWiki (v.1.16) and so far it works like a charm!
I'd have thought this would be a native feature (seeing as joomla allows you to connect contacts with user accounts) but we can't find any way to do this!
Does anyone know of any extensions/modules that would allow this?
I'm not so hot on PHP so i'd really love to not have to code this by hand!
This is an old thread, but since it is still opened maybe you haven't found a solution yet. I faced the same problem myself and I think having the ability to manage contacts from the frontend is an essential feature for Joomla! to become more usable as a simple webapp creation tool.
Anyway, there are a couple of extensions that might help you out. However, both are commercial and don't support Joomla! 1.6. Here they are:
Front-edit address book: simple
interface. Note, however, that there
might be a security issue with
it. Google "front-edit address book exploits" and you shall find it (sorry, stackoverflow lets me post a max of 2 links per thread since I'm a new user). I emailed the developer and he assured me that the problem was already fixed, though.
Grumpy contacts: on the demo site (there's a link at the page I pointed you to), it looked a little messy to my taste. In the Joomla! Extensions Directory, however, it has good reviews.
I never used any of those since all my projects are already migrated to Joomla! 1.6.
If you found another alternative in the meantime or even developed something yourself, please let me know.
Do you try in the user menu?
Another option would be install Community Builder.
Good luck!
Contacts in Joomla are handled by the builtin com_contacts compoment which provides basic functionality for adding contacts and some basic info from the back-end.
QContacts is a wonderful extension which gives you some more control over the data you can provide, but still no front-end support.
Unfortunately I am tackling this issue as well and it turns out there are no real out-of-the-box options for supporting front-end editing of contact details.
