Topic on Extension talk:Simple Farm

Hi Danwe, I am pretty much done with my wiki farm. I had to alter your setup, since I use one shared database (per domain) for all wikis, and differentiate between them with prefixes. Since the prefix is not part of your extension, I use virtual database names instead. This works since you do not access the database within your extenson, so I can re-define the real database name after the farm is intialized.

The setup works fine but I have one issue left about not displaying any images or logos. I outlined a sample of my configuration on a separate page in oder to avoid messing up your talk page. I assume the issue is based on the rewrites in my .htaccess, but I can't figure it out. Do you mind looking at my my configuration and giving me a hint where I failed? Anybody else who is reading this, how can I modify my rewrites to access the images?

Hi Danwe, I found it eventually. The [B] opton in the rewrite rules escape the necessary colon between namespace and filename. I left it out, and voila: it works now :)

I'll look into this as well, perhaps I have to improve the rewrite rules. About DB prefixes: You could probably define a custom option in your $egSimpleFarmMembers entries, for example dbprefix, and then do Manual:$wgDBprefix = SimpleFarm::getActiveMember()->getCfgOption( 'dbprefix' ); I guess it would be problematic with all members having the same db option though, especially when it comes to maintenance. I will think about improving on this, hasn't been a priority though since I always use separate DBs for my wikis.
