Could we directly copy image to MediaWiki images folder? - mediawiki

I am running a local host web-server for MediaWiki (XAMPP).
Typically, an upload special page is used to upload images. These images are stored in the WIKI_HOME/images folder and some records are inserted in the database.
I use this wiki on a local machine and for myself only. I need the speed so I tried to copy an image to WIKI_HOME/images instead of uploading it using the upload extensions. But it does not show up in the wiki. Is there any way to do it?

You can bulk upload images from the local server using the UploadLocal extension or the importImages.php script. You could set up importImages.php to run on a regular basis to import any images in a specific folder.

How to only download specific files from remote server instead of whole project?

I created a new project from remote sources and entered my servers data. PhpStorm instantly began to download the whole Magento project, even though I only need specific files for development, e.g. I don't need all the images or cache folders for my purpose. Now it takes 4-5 hours to download the whole project.
In NetBeans you can choose which folders you want to download to your machine, is this also possible in PhpStorm?
Yes it's possible.
You should have marked such unwanted folders as "Excluded from Download" --
See official help page for appropriate wizard step.
Other ways of creating a project:
Just create empty local project and then configure the rest manually (deployment etc); once done use "Browse Remote Host" and download folders/files you need.
Another way -- download all needed files locally first using you preferred program (e.g. FileZilla) and then just point to the project root folder in "Open" dialog -- IDE will create new project from those files.

How to edit my website

I have designed a website using HTML5 and now want publish it. But that website previously was built in ASP.NET. Now I want to upload my data, but there is no "public_html" folder. So how to upload my data??
Some hosts have a public_html folder to place your files inside while others do not. Just connect to the server and upload them to the folder like usual.

Is there a quick way to import my external css files so that I can convert my dynamic webpage into a static one?

I have a wordpress site and I want to be able to make one of the pages 'standalone' html so that I can display it in a browser that's not connected to the internet. Any ideas?
To get a local copy of your actual page view user Ctrl+s. This will not include all css/js and might be not what you want. Its a better screenshot.
To get a fully working local version install xampp to get a webserver and a mysql server.
https://www.apachefriends.org/
Download you WordPress instance and move it in the htdocs directory that is inside the xampp installation.
Create a mysqldump of your wordpress database and load it into your local mysqlserver.
Configure your local WordPress instance so it can connect to the database.

Will rewriting the Joomla system files, remove my articles and data?

As I cannot access to my admin area, I was told that Joomla system files might have problems and the best is to download the latest version and rewrite it on my host. My website is running and up. So if I replace the Joomla package on my host, will it remove or change anything on my website? anything that I have on the website, such as plugins, template, articles, music, mySQL, and so on. Will they change?
It is based on Joomla 1.5.
If yes, Any suggestion?
It's not a good idea to do it on your live server because you may broke your site. Instead of this prepare a local server and download your site to it. Then download a dump of your server database and restore it locally.
On your local copy you only need to change the configuration.php file with your local database settings (username, password and database) and paths to tmp and cache directories.
When the local site is up and running you can try to replace old files with the new ones, but don't overwrite the configuration.php file. Before replacing files is not a bad idea to keep a copy of your site files. By the way, don't try to overwrite with files from higher versions than 1.5 : it simply won't work. The last stable package for the (discontinued) 1.5 is 1.5.26, available through JoomlaCode : http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/frs/
If this solves your issue then you can upload the files downloaded from Joomla to your server (except the configuration.php) .
Regards!
Edit: as you can see, your articles will not be removed, as they are stored on the database.
