Hi, thanks. full-text search sounds promising and is what I missed since a long time. Is it sufficient to generate an index file with `kiwix-index file.zim file.idx` and then put both files in the same directory? best regards, -- Johannes Am 2016-02-21 19:26, schrieb Emmanuel Engelhart: > Hi > > The Kiwix dev. team is happy to announce the version 1.97 of Kiwix for > Android.

Hi The Kiwix dev. team is happy to announce the version 1.97 of Kiwix for Android. Most of this release was coded by Google Code-in student mhutti1, big thanks to him. This release brings a few improvements: * FIXED: Soft-keyboard opens on "find in page" click * FIXED: "Back to Top" button fades out after 1.5 seconds * NEW: App can be moved to SD card * NEW: ARM64 support * NEW: Beta full-text search (put the *.idx" directory beside the ZIM) * NEW: Restart with last open article on exact same position * NEW: Click on app title displays the search input box * NEW: Remember fullscreen setting over app restarts * NEW: Few additional languages supported for the UI * NEW: Build against newer version of Android NDK/SDK Kiwix for Android 1.97 is available on multiple app stores like: * Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kiwix.kiwixmobile * Aptoid: http://www.aptoide.com/search/view/apps?search=org.kiwix.kiwixmobile&x=0&y=0 * F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=kiwix&fdid=org.kiwix.kiwixmobile ... but also via direct download (interesting for people wanting old APK versions) at http://download.kiwix.org/bin/android/ Regards Emmanuel -- Kiwix - Wikipedia Offline & more * Web: http://www.kiwix.org * Twitter: https://twitter.com/KiwixOffline * more: http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Communication |

I'm not familiar at all with JSP, but for this kind of usage we recommend to use kiwix-serve: http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Kiwix-serve And then configure a reverse-proxy with nginx or apache. Hope this helps. Regards Emmanuel -- Kiwix - Wikipedia Offline & more * Web: http://www.kiwix.org * Twitter: https://twitter.com/KiwixOffline * more: http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Communication |

Dear kiwix developer, I am quite new with programming and I would like to know if it is possible to integrate kiwix reader into a web app. Currently working on a project to provide rural students with access to wikipedia via a remote LAN server. Now I do not know how to get kiwix into the existing web jsp application. What I have in mind is the user can just click to a button then kiwix reader will run the zim wiki files. Thank you very much. Regards, Edmund |

All .apk application data is stored in /data. The SD card is mounted on /data/media and there is a symlink from /data/sdcard to /data/media. I am not sure where ExternalStorageDirectory points to, but I guess it would work as a search path for .zim files. There is more Android stuff in /opt/alien. I guess /mnt in kiwix resolves to /opt/alien/mnt on my device, because if I create a symlink from /opt/alien/mnt/sdcard to /opt/alien/sdcard (which also points to the SD card), the .zim files are found. So using /sdcard as an additional search path might make kiwix work out of the box. But I think using ExternalStorageDirectory would be a more universal fix. - -- Best Regards, Conan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJWXJb/AAoJECsSvCKD1CYcproIAI4OvvO+XEqlj3mrOGj5EfEP cVG0G3iAOkntQivRliygLADEms9e2FpXIXclmpjI2LwGtgIi7g26+C4WSBiYc8aG F2pEO0PZ6UCU82wP03027xB59f2pfbFNr19LQze1opwpcTptkplhHslhgdNXsmmN nt78+llElkv5nQwwTPw2RE5F+yfDoXKTQ8VAqYspdkcEbdVEiUU0OISnYNp2SzeY v0Y1lRBrseR+mPERGttIrRtjcp7KroHPhXn0/hP2kO7fXewW9IxTyw5wdLDhHJsZ SKRWPU6Oah75at2byXj958huhYcnnuqgxps4xG7s+VTOWC14uioS6wDZywqONX4= =31cp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

Thank you! Mentor registration is now open on https://codein.withgoogle.com/ and you have received an email about it. Afterwards you can directly create tasks on the site (and linking them to a corresponding SourceForge ticket). As usual: The clearer the description and expectations, the less work. If you have "generic / cloneable" tasks (like "Choose two items from this link and provide a patch for them") they only need to be created once and then can be duplicated. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2015#Mentors.27_corner provides all information. Really looking forward to having Kiwix tasks! Variety of tasks that students can choose from, yay! Please spread the word - we need more mentors and tasks. And if I can help with anything, please let me know!

Hi Andre Thank you for the reminder. We appreciate the GCI but this years the resources are a little short to mentor. That explains the "late" answer. But finally I'm ready to mentor tasks (and if someone else on this ML want to help, he is welcome) this simply might a little bit fewer than the past years. I have added me as mentor here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2015#Contacting_Wikimedia_mentors and I will start to add tasks (and also step-in introduct, etc...) this WE.

[Please CC me on replies as I'm not on the mailing list!] * Do you have small, self-contained, "easy" bugs you'd love to get fixed? (Also see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs ) * Does your Kiwix documentation need improvements? * Do your old bugs welcome some testing? * Does your user interface have some small design issues? * Do you have some tasks that welcome some research? Google Code-In (GCI) will take place again in Dec+Jan: a contest for 13-17 year old students to provide small contributions to free software projects. Wikimedia will apply again to take part in GCI. The more tasks we can offer the likelier the changes Wikimedia will get accepted. Unsure about quality of contributions and effort? Read about tgr's post about Multimedia achievements in GCI 2014: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/multimedia/2015-January/001009.html In short: * Tasks are welcome in five areas: Code; Outreach/Research; Documentation/Training; Quality Assurance; User Interface. * Make sure the task description provides pointers to help the student. * Add yourself to the table of mentors on the wikipage. * "Beginner tasks" (<30 min for an experienced contributor) also welcome. * "Generic" tasks also welcome (e.g. "Fix two user interface messages from the "Blocked By" list in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T40638 "). * As Kiwix does not use Wikimedia Phabricator, let's collect potential tasks on a wiki page until we can transfer them to the contest site? For all information, check https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2015#Mentors.27_corner Can you imagine providing a helping hand to someone fixing tasks? Please ask if you have questions!

Hi The Kiwix dev team is happy to announce a new release of Kiwix (1.2) for iOS: * Faster search (especially when having a lot of large ZIM files) * Better iPad multitasking experience * Bug fixes and other improvements If you have a device with iOS8+, give a try to Kiwix for iOS! It's free and probably already one of the best Wikipedia offline apps on iTunes. http://ios.kiwix.org/ Enjoy Kelson -- Kiwix - Wikipedia Offline & more * Web: http://www.kiwix.org * Twitter: https://twitter.com/KiwixOffline * more: http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Communication |

Hi Quim Thank you for the proposition. We have meanwhile released the v1.1 and the app has proven to "do the job". So, this is definitely a good idea. I have myself pretty tight resources but have made a call on Twitter: https://twitter.com/KiwixOffline/status/650697497451606017 Hopefully someone will be volunteer for this task.

Hi This was a long standing feature request and not the easiest one to implement, that's why the Kiwix development team is pretty proud to announce the release of Kiwix for iOS v1.0. With Kiwix for iOS you can easily download/read recent snapshots (with or without pictures) of all Wikimedia projects with your iPhone/iPad. This first version of the app provides basic functionalities like: * ZIM reader * Navigation through articles * Search based on article title * Content library/downloader * Bookmarks * Browse history * iTunes sync (already in beta testing for v1.1) The app has been developed for the last 18 months by Chris, a New-York based developer. He was (a bit) mentored by an older member of the Kiwix dev team and the project was supported by WikimediaCH for the administrative work with Apple and the coverage of mandatory hardware costs. With this last stone, Kiwix which is already available for Windows, OSX, Linux and Android, has reached a milestone. 10 years after the project creation, Kiwix is a a cutting-edge solution to access Wikipedia (and a lot more) offline - with most of the computers - whatever the platform.

Hi Last June, the Kiwix team has organised a hackathon focused on mobile technologies in general and Android in particular. http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Hackathon_Mobile_2015 Sponsored by Wikimedia Switzerland, this one week long event has been the occasion to do a few steps forward thx to the hard work of the 4 volunteer developers. As a result, we are proud to announce the release of Kiwix for Android 1.94/1.95 which brings a lot of improvements. Among others: * NEW: Revamped tabs system * NEW: Revamped zoom system * NEW: Audio/Video suport * NEW: Updated "Ray Charles" ZIM demo file * FIXED: AutoCompleteTextView in landscape mode * FIXED: PDF & EPUB viewing * FIXED: Many bugs related to "night mode" * REMOVED: Gingerbread support * REMOVED: Share with friends * REMOVED: Zoom button Install in one click on your device: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kiwix.kiwixmobile We have also created a new set of tools allowing us to generate and publish quickly Android Bundle Apps (app+content). These apps are really useful for users because in one click in the Google Play Store they have what they want. We have started to use these tools and have already released two high value apps: * Wikivoyage in English: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kiwix.kiwixcustomwikivoyage * Wikimed in English: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kiwix.kiwixcustomwikimed An other consequence of this bundling software solution is that it is now trivial for NGO & Companies to distribute devices with free content pre-packaged on it.

This is for sure not trivial, but also not so complicated *if you have average C++ and GNU tools compilation skills*. I guess 0.5-1 FT. I see only two approaches to achieve to do this: (1) - Make the content URL root path configurable at kiwix-serve call (bad) (2) - make all paths relatives (good) (2) is the better solution and this would be an improvement to have it working that way. That said, I'm not sure about all the places where we have absolute paths. We have for sure: the library page, the navbar and maybe also a few URLs in the content (not sure I have already removed all of them).

Thank you Emmanuel. I'm not very familiar with Apache mod_rewrite, but I don't think that's what I'm looking for. To be more specific, the way I've got it working so far, if I point the browser to: /kiwix/ I expect to see the library, and I do. However if I click on Wiktionary, it takes me to: /wiktionary_en_all_2015-07/ rather than: /kiwix/wiktionary_en_all_2015-07/ This is already a problem. I could create a rewrite rule to make Wiktionary display at /wiktionary_en_all_2015-07/, but that defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to do. I want to keep all of Kiwix under /kiwix/, and other things under other sub-paths. Does this make sense? I believe that I need to actually edit Kiwix to make it render the URLs differently. If anything, I would want mod_substitute, though that's a rather blunt approach which I probably don't want to take. I'd rather modify Kiwix. So, my question is, how hard would the necessary changes in Kiwix be?

It is not really hard to get it working like you want, but you need indeed to configure the reverse-proxy correctly. Here is the configuration with use on our kiwix-plug: https://sourceforge.net/p/kiwix/other/ci/master/tree/plug/conf/nginx.conf It's not exactly what you need, but this show you which kind of URL to rewrite to get the CSS/JS working. Hope this helps. Regards Emmanuel -- Kiwix - Wikipedia Offline & more * Web: http://www.kiwix.org * Twitter: https://twitter.com/KiwixOffline * more: http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Communication |

Hello, I was playing around with configuring Kiwix for Apache via a reverse-proxy, and setting it at a base path other than root. For instance, I would have every URL prefixed with /kiwix/. This is simple enough to pull off such that the pages load at the URLs I expect them. However, the hrefs within Kiwix assume that all URLs start at /. So, for instance I can get the library to show up, but the link to Wiktionary doesn't work, and none of the CSS or JS resources load. I was thinking of trying to go in there and make it possible to set an alternate URL root with a kiwix-serve command line option. I've never worked with developing Kiwix before. I figure I have to mess with the URL router, as well as all of the html templates. I was wondering if I should expect this to be particularly difficult or arduous? I was also wondering about the likelihood that such a patch would be accepted in the project? Thanks, Dan |
