[00:35:10] 03(NEW) Every category page doesn't sort article Bulgarian ( cyrillic) names correctly - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10771 major; high; MediaWiki: Categories; (some_777) [00:46:33] do tag extensions have anything to do with creating the RSS feed? [00:48:28] Hello again people...I have another question (sorry) hopefully this one will be easier. Ok, you know when on wikipedia you can type Wikipedia:xxx (let's assume xxx = Notability) so you can type Wikipedia:Notability OR you can type WP:Notability, how do I get it so that I can have that shortened version? [00:48:47] My wiki is called "Abstract wiki Designs" and I want a shortened verison to: AWD: [00:48:58] aswell as Abstract_wiki_Designs: [01:15:42] I like Mediawiki's MainPage... I'm trying to figure out how to replicate the styling on my own wiki. [01:15:50] 03yaron * r24534 10/trunk/extensions/SemanticForms/ (3 files in 2 dirs): Version 4.2 - major Javascript fix (now works across all browsers), fix for "restricted" property [01:16:22] Where do the
tags direct to? I checked all the CSS files (monobook, common, etc) and couldn't find references to things like "mainpage_pagetitle". [01:16:39] Am I looking in the wrong place? Where's the formatting stuff stored for Mediawiki.org's homepage? [01:17:42] The "Template:Main_page" file is so dynamically linked that it's almost impossible to decipher... [01:18:02] Any ideas? :) [01:21:47] SRAnony: Try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ExpandTemplates?input=%7B%7B%3AMain_Page%7D%7D [01:22:13] ... [01:22:37] Well, try that on MediaWiki.org. The styles are probably defined on the wiki page [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]. [01:23:07] Cool! I didn't know about that special page. Might be exactly what I'm looking for... [01:26:11] Should documentation about interface messages on mediawiki.org be in the Help or Manual namespace? [01:26:42] Documentation on mediawiki.org about interface messages in MediaWiki, that is. [01:26:48] Thanks for the help, PathosChild... :) [01:26:52] Welcome. :) [01:29:51] <_Danny_B_> what's the difference between log_action create and create2 ? [01:44:58] _Danny_B_: create is when someone created a user. create2 is when someone already logged in creates a new user. [01:45:17] <_Danny_B_> i see, thx [01:53:15] <_Danny_B_> hello tim [02:16:09] *Shanel pokes Nikerabbit.

[02:39:07] flyingparchment: is that like deletable? [02:40:13] <_sargon> does someone know how to export wiki_test to HTML? [02:42:28] :? [02:42:39] well, first of all, MediaWiki is XHTML ;) [02:43:00] <_sargon> good, and ... [02:43:02] (XML) [02:43:15] have you seen Special:Export? [02:43:19] on en-wiki that would be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export [02:43:58] <_sargon> ley is be, i need to convert wiki_text formating to HTML. [02:44:07] O_O [02:44:18] <_sargon> table `text` to striped text [02:44:25] *Cbrown1023 doesn't know :'( [02:44:27] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export [02:44:29] er... [02:44:32] forgot that last post :) [02:44:35] *Cbrown1023 pasted the wrong command [02:45:15] <_sargon> so. Pear::Wiki_Text is not good. Any other ideas? [02:48:18] <_sargon> I need to convert all wiki_en articles [03:21:57] Hi There. I'm having some weird problems with my new MediaWiki installation. Running on Apache 2.2. I changed the virtual host name, and also I changed $wgServer, but either MediaWIki or Apache is not "getting" the change. Internal links still go to the old vhost. [03:22:49] I have a rather general question regarding development. I've been adding some things to the user model, including some custom attributes such as 'school attended', things that will be requiring new tables. I'd like to make sure I don't write anything that does not respect the built in memcached funtionality, are there any references for how the memcached functionality is implemented in MediaWiki or should I just dig in the sou [03:50:19] I guess there's no one around to help... [03:50:29] 03(mod) Wrong accesskeys in tooltips - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8719 (10wmbugzilla) [03:51:37] Are there skin-specific MediaWiki stylesheets for all skins, or only for Monobook? [03:52:08] sbwoodside: Maybe the links are cached? [03:52:32] All skins [03:54:20] damn, it reports new CCs? [03:54:33] (that was me) [03:54:33] TheFearow: I thought so, but only Monobook.css and Common.css are listed on Special:Allpages. [03:55:39] Pathoschild: Yes, it must be a caching problem but I have reset the caches on my browser with no effect [03:55:54] I've googled for mediawiki's cache (if any) and can't find how to delete it [03:56:23] Pathoschild: You have to create them [03:56:39] sbwoodside: Try adding &action=purge to the end [03:56:41] of the URL [03:57:03] TheFearow: Sorry, I meant Special:Allmessages (which lists uncustomized messages). [03:57:18] Ahh, I believe its included anyway, just not there by default [03:57:27] Its not a default set message, but it is used [03:57:43] Okay. [04:00:53] TheFearow: is there a way for me to purge the cache from the command line or in the database? [04:01:08] sbwoodside: Not that I am aware of, I don't know exactly how it works [04:01:22] It seems to be forwarding me already to the old virtual hostname before it applies the purge action [04:04:26] *jeremyb is about to file a new bug but expects that it's a dupe [04:04:26] so, if anyone knows the mediazilla db well, here goes: browser features/behavior for gecko browsers should be determined using the gecko revision number *not* the vendor/product name (firefox, minefield, etc.) [04:04:30] also, how well is http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1381 kept up to date? [04:08:16] mediawiki can be an amazingly frustrating piece of software to configure :-/ [04:10:44] doesn't most software fit that description? [04:11:05] programmer's are generally not the best UI designers [04:11:08] IME [04:11:36] I normally use Wikia it's a piece of cake but doesn't have the features and the name recognition that my clients wanted [04:14:49] i can't find any documentation on where MediaWiki stores the page cache. [04:14:53] it must be somewhere [04:15:54] 03brion * r24535 10/trunk/phase3/maintenance/dumpTextPass.php: [04:15:56] Quick fix for dump problem: [04:15:58] Errors are ignored on a connection once it's died, so additional exceptions weren't getting thrown. [04:16:00] We weren't detecting this case and ended up spitting out the rest of the XML without any more text. [04:16:02] Should now die correctly once the timeouts finish. [04:16:30] sbwoodside: what kind of name do they want? [04:17:15] well, I had it at wiki.communitech.x-33.packetworks.net on a temporary basis, now I'm trying to switch it over to wiki.communitech.c [04:17:17] (they know mediawiki but not wikia and you can't just point them to info online? not that i know so much about wiki :P) [04:17:20] wiki.communitech.ca [04:17:30] Wait. [04:17:34] I normally us WIKKA [04:17:39] not wikia ! whoops [04:17:44] freudian slip there [04:17:44] haha [04:18:16] yeah my clients don't want to use a hosted service they want to host it themselves [04:18:34] anyway the DNS is all correct but mediawiki is not happy with the domain name switch [04:19:09] btw, i'm not a MW dev and have never installed it, but 1) why do you need to know where the cache is and 2) have you worked with MW before? [04:19:41] sbwoodside: what are the symptoms of unahppiness? [04:19:47] well, I've used Wikipedia for years. I looked at the source code for MW, but this is my first install [04:19:49] on FreeBSD [04:20:03] used/edited wikipedia a lot [04:20:26] so, packetworks was MW as well not wikka? [04:21:22] yeah, it's just a colocation place where my clients server is at [04:21:28] they just host my box [04:21:35] I install everything myself [04:21:44] sbwoodside: and did you see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File_cache? [04:22:35] yeah. the annoying this is that it doesn't say where the cache is actually stored. [04:22:48] i guess I will try changing that variable [04:22:57] sbwoodside: what are the symptoms of unahppiness? [04:23:17] well, as I said, it's putting the wrong hostname into the internal links [04:25:35] oh [04:25:47] sbwoodside: truncate table objecthost; [04:25:52] er [04:25:52] and what happens when you purge? [04:25:54] objectcache [04:26:27] flyingparchment: i'll try that [04:29:47] hrmm... in a viewvc dir listing @ wikimedia it looks like the revno aligned at the of the cell [04:30:53] TheFearow: Do you know if the same is true for the JavaScript files? [04:32:58] Pathoschild: What? [04:33:40] Do you know if there is a JavaScript file in the MediaWiki namespace for every skin? [04:37:01] Yes [04:37:05] Its just not there by default [04:38:38] TheFearow: On a default installation, only Common.js and Monobook.js will work? [04:38:47] No [04:38:55] Any will work, but you have to create them first [04:39:01] Okay. [04:39:22] as long as it matches the skin name, like monobook, classic, cologneblue, etc [04:52:31] hrmm... i just hit ctrl-w before the page finished loading and it didn't just say 'watching...' and then show the message [04:52:31] it makes sense but i never really thought about that being JS (my renewed interest in MW is quite recent :) [04:53:37] 03(NEW) CSS not included in page with SyntaxHighlight GeSHi - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10773 minor; normal; MediaWiki extensions: SyntaxHighlight (GeSHi); (kenny) [05:03:43] ok, I fixed my apache problems and now I'm back to debugging MediaWiki [05:04:18] jeremyb: That's because the JavaScript can't change the page until the page's DOM (Document Object Model) is available, which only happens when the page is done loading. [05:04:20] I have $wgServer = "http://wiki.communitech.ca"; but it's still making links for the old vhost (wiki.communitech.x-33.packetworks.net) [05:04:44] Pathoschild: yeah, i know i just never thought about it before [05:05:11] sbwoodside: what happens when you manually purge a page with such a link? [05:05:33] well, right now, and this is dumb, I don't have an account inside that wiki [05:05:42] when I try action=purge it appears to be ignoring it because of that. [05:06:36] sbwoodside: I don't think the problem is MediaWiki caching; I think it's supposed to clear the cache when you edit LocalSettings.php. [05:06:36] I just truncated the objectcache table again though, and that doesn't seem to make a difference [05:07:28] I know that it's seeing my changes to LocalSettings.php because if I add gibberish at the end it breaks [05:09:15] erg. pastie doesn't like URLs [05:10:48] OK, here's my config [05:10:49] http://pastebin.com/m29cb9709 [05:11:28] shit [05:11:30] that was dumb [05:11:32] heheheh [05:11:36] let me post it again [06:01:12] do parameters in templates not get parsed if they're inside a tag? [06:01:30] Thers a current bug with that [06:02:22] hmm [06:02:25] bug 2257 iirc [06:12:47] 14(WFM) CSS not included in page with SyntaxHighlight GeSHi - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10773 +comment (10robchur) [06:13:05] 03(mod) CSS not included in page with SyntaxHighlight GeSHi - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10773 -need-review -patch (10robchur) [06:14:31] 14(INVALID) defect - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10772 (10robchur) [06:20:30] 03(NEW) error in the program - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10774 15enhancement; normal; Kate's Tools: General/Unknown; (thangam73) [06:21:07] 03(mod) error in the program - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10774 (10thangam73) [06:25:07] 03raymond * r24536 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/ (MessagesKk_cn.php MessagesKk_kz.php MessagesKk_tr.php): [06:25:10] * (bug 10367) Update Kazakh translations [06:25:12] Patch by AlefZet [06:25:24] 14(INVALID) error in the program - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10774 (10robchur) [06:25:47] 03(FIXED) Kazakh message updates - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10367 +comment (10raimond.spekking) [06:26:02] Thats not the most specifc bug request I have ever seen [06:26:12] (10774) [06:26:25] *robchurch slaps Simetrical [06:26:27] That is all.

[07:36:19] is there some sort of common bug that causes that? [07:36:23] extra whitespace? [07:36:24] look at like 219 of lastRSS.php [07:36:27] I shall check [07:36:28] extra blank lines [07:36:31] or spaces after ?> [07:36:31] thnx [07:36:53] oh wow [07:36:58] thanks a lot brion! [07:41:19] *Werdna watches [07:43:02] move along... nothing to see here... [07:44:00] <_wooz> lo [07:47:23] re: [07:47:59] How can I make a page to have "foo" as page name but "My smart page" as title? [07:53:06] Duesentrieb, are you there? [08:01:26] EK_123: kind of. what's up? [08:02:04] omgs: {{DISPLAYTITLE:My smart page}}. OR, more easily, make a redirect from foo to "My smart page" [08:04:18] zomg zomg zomg [08:04:37] Duesentrieb, I was looking for an extension and you mentioned it but I forgot...I hope you can help me remember [08:04:47] Duesentrieb: i think we fixed that so it only works if it's canonically the same, like IPhone and iPhone :) [08:05:02] I was looking for an extensions which shows me something like stats....new pages or recent pages [08:05:14] I want to add this in some of my pages [08:05:23] especially the index pages I have [08:05:31] brion: oh... really? that would explain why i couldn't get it to work when testing :) [08:05:37] omgs: use a redirect, then [08:05:57] brion: does {{#displaytitle}} work too, btw? i should... [08:06:16] doubt it [08:06:16] but try [08:06:19] EK_123: the one I wrote is called "News". [08:06:36] I can find it on en.wikipedia.org? [08:06:47] no. [08:06:51] extensions are not on wikipedia. [08:06:55] you ccan find it on mediawiki.org [08:06:58] EK_123: there are others, like the DynamicPageList extension [08:07:19] yes I was looking for that [08:07:22] thnx m8 :D [08:07:44] brion: then there is no way to get a different display title? [08:08:07] brion: while i have your attention... for the gadgets extension, i need to parse (in my own special way) a system message, pretty much for every page request. it would be nice if the message cache could be used to cache the parsed version, but i have no idea how i'd do that. is it possible to store "variants" of messages in there? [08:08:14] omgs: use a redirect. [08:08:35] omgs: that'S not changing the title, but defining an alias for accessing the page. effectively the same. [08:08:36] Duesentrieb: what I want is to not create "My smart page" [08:08:43] omgs: WHY? [08:09:13] Well, I have to make things as easy as possible for another person [08:09:22] 03thomasv * r24537 10/trunk/extensions/ProofreadPage/proofread.js: minor fix [08:09:27] omgs: one of the wiki ideas is that a pages *name* (and thus address) ois the same as its title. [08:09:32] and how does this make it any easier? [08:09:51] omgs: as easy as possible means "don't use obscure magic" and "keep things consistent". [08:10:06] dennyV: the {{DISPLAYTITLE:My title}} is easy enough [08:10:24] omgs: but simply create a page with the title you want it easier, and more obvious. [08:10:51] Duesentrieb: maybe I overlooked some basic rules... [08:11:15] How can I create a page without defining an "obscure" and spaceless name? [08:11:34] by using spaces [08:11:40] spaces are allowed in page names. [08:11:52] mmm I think I see... [08:11:59] things that are not allowed (or tricky) include: |, &, +, # [08:12:40] ok... [08:13:07] My major concern is choose a "fully qualified" name for pages [08:13:19] qualified how? [08:14:11] The intention for this is a local installation to help studying some items, taken from books and other related material [08:14:37] naming conventions are up to you. [08:14:42] So, I have "book 1", which has some themes [08:14:46] using "short" names only makes it more obscure. [08:15:10] And in this book, there are many themes, with their long description [08:15:11] you can use subpages. [08:15:22] "book 1/chapter 2" [08:16:10] you can enable subpage support for the main names in localsettings, which gives you some handy features [08:16:21] $wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_MAIN] = true; [08:16:25] I think I read somewhere that subpages were not an advice [08:16:52] depends on taste i guess. [08:16:59] works well enough [08:17:54] I'm afraid I don't fully understand "main names" [08:20:33] Duesentrieb: isn't there a GUI option to enable subpages? [08:21:32] Duesentrieb, you are the man! You have great work [08:22:07] omgs: no. configuration i in LocalSettings.php, peroid. [08:32:49] Hey, can I create a navigation bar which is dynamic for every User? so that a non logged in User doesn't see anything, User XYZ see his own links and User ABC see his own links? And everybody can just change his own navigation bar? [08:32:55] is this possible? [08:34:47] Shanel_away: ? [08:39:16] *Werdna giggles [08:41:20] Duesentrieb: did you see ubuntu package for mediawiki? [08:41:40] There is some directory structure that makes it somehow difficult [08:42:33] There is no definition for the specific element (NS_MAIN) in the array [08:42:51] There are other, but not that one [08:43:19] omgs: that'S why i told you to add it. do not edit DefaultSettings.php though. [08:44:02] omgs: also, i wouldn't use bundles for mediawiki - they tend to not be up to date, and do odd stuff with the directory structure, moving files around ,etc [08:44:14] ok, but I just wanted to make sure the setting was right [08:44:59] I expected to find the setting to false, but at least existing [08:45:36] default settings are generally not repeated explicitely. [08:46:30] What's the problem to enable it by default? too much overhead? [08:49:07] enable what per default? subpages for the main namesapce? [08:49:20] well, changing defaults may mess things up when upgrading, for one thing. [08:49:37] indeed [08:49:48] people expect prior behaviour in issues like that to be retained [08:50:03] judging by the variable structure, it appears that subpage support was added later [08:50:08] and people wanted it to be an option [08:50:16] right [08:50:36] now while it may be a nice idea to enable it by default in new installations, people don't like it when things like that change when they upgrade [08:50:37] enabling it per default for user pages is consistent with the way people used User:foo/bar [08:51:06] especially seeing as people often would have articles such as "This and/or that" [08:51:09] et cetera [08:51:12] but in the main namespace, foo/bar might not be a subpage of foo (foo may not even exist), but simply a name containing a "/" [08:51:27] heh, I took the words out of your mouth [08:51:35] indeed [08:51:56] I need to work on that userCan stuff [08:52:09] but I've already spent two hours on some second life work, so I suppose I should do that "study" thing [08:52:34] me too. [08:52:50] *Werdna has exams in about 5 weeks [08:58:52] 8 weeks here [09:00:38] :( [09:01:04] *Werdna goes back to tangents, normals, chords and intersections thereof of parametric parabolae [09:01:07] BORING [09:18:13] maybe you can help me.. I just installed wikiEd. and in the preview of monobook.js it works but then it doesn't there is n symbol on top besides the log off button, but I don't see the editor? [09:20:40] nobody can help me?! [09:23:51] press ctrl-r [09:24:09] well .. I did ;) I cleared everything [09:26:43] *shrug* [09:26:46] then look for js errors [09:27:44] what is *shrug* ? ;) .. OK looking for js errors.. where? [09:28:40] in your browser's error console [09:31:31] hmm .. sry but I haven't used the error console yet, so I don't know how to open.. I use Firefox 2 .. [09:39:44] Duesentrieb ?? [09:43:25] Duesentrieb: if I'm writing Title::getUserPermissionsErrorPage (a function that returns an error page to display inline with another page), should it return the errors in HTML or wikitext? [09:45:38] *Werdna asks flyingparchment instead [09:50:29] well .. now I know how to open -.- but now he's away... [09:54:14] hey guys [09:54:20] how do I edit the navigation bar on the side? [09:54:26] MediaWiki:Sidebar [09:54:32] edit that page to customize it [09:55:44] thanks Jack_Phoenix [09:55:49] np [09:55:55] and another question though sorry [09:57:03] you know on wikipedia how you can type Wikipedia:Article OR WP:Article...My wiki is called "Abstract wiki Designs" and so it takes ages to type out that thing, so how do i make it so I can just do AWD:Article? do I just add another nameserver called AWD?

[13:22:39] 	Raymond_ I added that code in, and excluded the page I wanted, and when i go Special:Random/namespace It still brought me back to te page I excluded

[16:30:31] 	is there a possibility to revert all changes that a certain user made over a few days?

[16:31:58] 	are extensions all coded in php

[16:32:51] 	thanks tim
[16:35:18] 	how do i make it so that every time someone creates a new page, it automatically inputs preset data in the text box, from a template
[16:35:27] 	so they could work on it from there
[16:40:45] 	feltipen, everytime?  Or just for specific instances?  The &preload=Template:NewHelpPage sort of argument is pretty common
[16:41:41] 	otherwise, if it's f/ every new page - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Boilerplate
[16:52:33] 	tim, that 'argument' you mentioned, does it have to be written into an extension?

[16:53:58] 	so for instance, my input in the search box is 'Gouda&preload=Template:Cheese' ?
[16:54:24] 	Hm, my problem might be solvable using templates too, eh?
[16:55:43] 	feltipen, you have to make an external link just like that because you need the full query string.  You can use the plainlinks class to get rid of the external link icon.
[16:56:01] 	ok
[16:56:04] 	See this page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk - for an example - the "Click HERE to post question" link
[16:56:06] 	ah, http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Navigational_images - that took a while to find :)
[16:57:05] 	otherwise, the Boilerplate exentsion puts specific text in if someone creates a new page.
[16:57:15] 	hmm
[16:57:16] 	also uses a specific Template for the source text.
[16:57:28] 	interesting, thx
[16:57:45] 	what about that red box at the top that gives them instructions

[16:59:38] 	%3A is :

[17:01:00] 	amazing
[17:01:10] 	indeed.  clever MW developers.  ;-)
[17:01:21] 	are extensions all done in php?
[17:01:28] 	99%
[17:01:31] 	hmmmmmmm
[17:01:56] 	"extension" is a tricky concept.  but yeah, most "extensions" for MW are PHP
[17:02:09] 	i want to make a smart field box that checks the user's realtime input against a database in an external website...that would have to be done with an extension, right?
[17:02:37] 	you mean for like auto-suggestions via AJAX?
[17:02:41] 	feltipen: "realtime input" implied Javascript
[17:02:46] 	sounds about right
[17:02:50] 	I'm using templates to include multiple sections into a single page. MediaWiki only imports the first section. I've tried increasing MAX_INCLUDE_SIZE and MAX_INCLUDE_REPEAT is there someother reason that {{:TEXT}} would only work once?
[17:03:16] 	feltipen, yeah, you'll have to use an extension to inject the javascript in to the page load as well as create teh "smart field" that fires the javascript.
[17:03:36] 	hm yeah
[17:05:21] 	can i create as many sub-categories as i want? like sub-sub-sub-sub-categories?
[17:05:31] 	i mean levels of sub-categories
[17:05:40] 	aton`, yup
[17:06:29] 	all categories are just categories.  and sub-category lists are just al ist of categories that belong to the category you're looking at.

[17:49:39] no - you don't want to edit any of the Parser's code - but you will be calling a method on the Parser [17:49:43] if that makes any sense [17:50:10] yeah, a little [17:50:20] let me try it [17:50:23] be back in like 5 mins [17:50:41] basically, when you return an array with noparse and isHTML, the parser will itself do what I've written (create a unique string etc) [17:51:03] by doing it yourself, you bypass the part of the Parser that injects the two newlines - which intern become paragraphs [17:51:19] ok, that makes total sense [17:52:21] looking to force logging in for any editing on an already up and running mediawiki [17:54:55] macpell: you need to configure $wgGroupPermissions in your LocalSettings.php: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgGroupPermissions [17:56:45] that worked perfectly jimbojw, thanks [17:56:53] np [17:56:56] glad to hear it [17:57:46] what about the timestamp that $wgUser->mRegistration holds... can i treat that like a normal unix timestamp or is that something different? because it's returning a strange date for me [17:58:18] what is it returning? [17:58:24] AphelionZ: should be a normal timestamp [17:58:40] k [18:05:54] jimbojw. thanks for the link. I've got it working now.

Say you have a Mainpage and everything else, you want to remove the portlets on the left completely for the Mainpage only, can this be achieved? [18:16:17] yes. body.Main_Page { ... } [18:17:05] how's that work? [18:17:18] the has the pages name as a css class [18:17:29] Really.... [18:17:44] my timestamp for registration is 20070703004 which translates to July 4 1925?? [18:17:52] what on earth is going on here.. [18:18:06] that's not a unix timestamp [18:18:14] that's a wacky TS_MW stamp [18:18:24] oooh [18:18:26] how do I convert [18:18:28] unixtiemstamp is seconds since unix epoch [18:18:44] i just got that from $wgUser->mRegistration [18:18:47] hmm its actually "page-Main_Page" but your answer helped a great deal, thanks :) i see now how it can be done [18:19:25] never noticed the article title was in there before. good to know. [18:19:35] AphelionZ: 2007 07 03 [18:19:43] AphelionZ, I'll go see if there's a conversion func already written [18:20:08] I think the inclusion of the article title is something that has been added in newer versions (1.9 or 1.10) [18:20:27] the templates i have have been edited and ware vrom 1.8.x and they did not have that in there [18:20:35] huh.

[19:39:45] what the example says essentially [19:39:51] I'm using MediaWiki 1.6 if that makes a difference [19:40:32] and your $input gets the content? [19:40:46] yes [19:40:53]

[[Stuff]]
[19:40:55] e.g. [19:41:03] and $input = [[Stuff]] [19:41:14] (but I want to be able to parse that) [19:41:20] yes [19:41:39] but first I have to get the content, befor i begin parsing [19:41:49] well it worked fine here [19:42:17] and you used mainly the 1st example? [19:42:46] http://pastebin.ca/643408 [19:42:53] i'm writing a special page which acts like Special:Random, but only returns pages in the specified Category - I'm trying to figure out what to name the special page [19:43:07] right now I'm stuck between CategoryRandom and RandomPageInCategory [19:43:18] former is shorter [19:43:32] thx [19:43:37] I'll try it [19:43:52] jimbojw: what about Special:Random/CategoryName [19:44:11] not sure if MediaWiki will allow you to do that easily [19:44:11] this isn't for the core - it's a new Special page extension [19:44:43] the Special:Random/Whatever nomenclature is already reserved for Namespaces - for example Special:Random/Help [19:44:48] RandomInCategory might do [19:45:11] yeah - that sounds fine too [19:45:18] alirhgt [19:46:06] so does anyone know if you can ask mediawiki to parse a string? [19:46:45] what do you mean "parse a string"? [19:46:59] well, in that example:
[[Stuff]]
[19:47:09] can I get it to parse [[Stuff]] into yes [19:47:22] I thought so :) [19:47:23] what version of MW are you using? [19:47:28] 1.6 :| [19:47:33] ugh [19:47:34] can't upgrade currently [19:47:36] try to use strings [19:47:49] stuck on php 4 for now [19:47:51] make a new variable [19:48:05] i believe in 1.6 you can do $wgOut->parse( 'string' ); [19:48:14] and I'm beginning to think I'm silly! [19:48:29] I dont get the output of $source [19:49:15] works jimnojw, thanks :) [19:49:30] Klemmi, tried an existing extension? [19:50:14] eAi: np [19:51:06] I think, it is my output! [19:51:06] @eAi thank you realy very much! [19:51:14] I think, I'll get it... [19:58:25] I'm using the extension "CreateArticle", which creates an input box that creates articles with the inserted text. It has a parameter "prefix=" which allows me to make a subpage if the value is set to "Article/". However, i want the value to be a variable, because i'm putting the input box in a template. [20:00:05] so when an article is made with the template that includes the input box, and a user creates an article with the input box, i want the variable to identify the title of the page it's in, and place that in the value with the "/" in order to make a subpage for that particular page [20:00:15] is that doable? [20:02:20] so in other words, is there an argument that i could use in the editing box that will enter the current page's title? [20:05:14] {{PAGENAME}} ?

[20:24:59] yep to approve a page edit [20:25:05] that red exclamation mark [20:25:28] DarsVaeda: i think that only applies to anonymous edits [20:25:47] thats what i mean [20:25:58] hm? [20:26:29] you can approve those edits [20:26:34] the last edit is by you, so there's nothing to patroll... [20:26:55] afaik patrolling only applies to the *last* edit. [20:26:57] but the first edit isnt [20:27:01] nope [20:27:04] for every edit [20:27:10] nope? [20:27:26] well, do you see the marks on Special:Recentchanges? [20:27:26] i could approve all other anonymous edits [20:27:32] yes [20:27:51] normally you click on ahh previous or what its in english [20:28:04] then you see "approve edit" or so [20:28:16] for the first page its on the bottom [20:28:49] Hello there, anyone already tried to install mediawiki in sourceforge? [20:29:10] I had good installation, but the sessions are always lost when I login [20:29:13] Any idea? [20:32:11] melunko: well known problem. google for "mediawiki on sourceforge" or some such. [20:32:28] melunko: the problem is that sourcefore's web cluster setup sucks. [20:33:09] Duesentrieb, thanks, I tried to google a lot, but no success yet, I will try your tip [20:34:17] grml [20:34:20] I dont get it [20:34:33] my $source is empty... [20:34:42] melunko: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Sourceforge.net [20:35:13] but he make the tags disappear, that means, he does see the tags [20:35:40] (sry, bad english) [20:36:34] Duesentrieb, thanks.. bye [20:39:25] I did everything like writen down here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extending_wiki_markup [20:39:32] but I dont get the input [20:39:39] the $input is empty [20:40:12] but the tags are regoniced because the disappear [20:40:13] Klemmi: well, what does the wikitext look like when you use your tag? [20:40:17] where can I find the most recent version of MediaWiki (alpha) on SVN? [20:40:20] perhaps the input *is* empty? [20:40:29] TimLaqua: in trunk [20:40:48] trunk just looks like a pile of garbage [20:40:54] but shouldn't the input be the content between the tags [20:40:55] ? [20:41:03] TimLaqua: trunk/phase3 [20:41:09] TimLaqua: http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/ [20:41:17] that :) [20:41:18] there. ty. Why phase3? [20:41:27] 'cause we had phase 1 and phase 2 :P [20:41:35] Klemmi: it should. again, what does the wiki text look like, exactly? [20:41:57] hmm. I wanted to start working on some bugfixes and this SVN voodoo is pretty crazy. [20:42:00] you mean what I see in the wiki? [20:42:14] yes. what you *wrote* in the wiki [20:42:48] I wrote text and I see text [20:42:49] TimLaqua: *shrugs* that's probably to discourage new potential developers [20:42:53] :) [20:42:55] TimLaqua: hm? check it out, modify, make diff, submit. [20:43:04] update every now and then [20:43:07] pretty simple [20:43:20] k. I emailed brion earlier about an account. [20:43:46] I was just working on getting PNG-24 images to resize and maintain alpha transparency [20:43:52] TimLaqua: well, usually you start by making patches (aka diffs) and submitting them [20:44:12] when people get annoyid with reviewing your stuff, they'll give you an account. [20:44:17] ok, so I've got a modified file now, Bitmap.php. how do I get the Diff? [20:44:37] svn diff Bitmap.php > bitmapstuff.patch [20:45:12] you can also use svn diff to make diffs for multiple files, or entire directories [20:45:24] so I need the SVN client on my local machine? [20:45:25] so, I see that what is between the tag [20:45:34] TimLaqua: that'S wher eclients usually are. [20:45:42] TimLaqua: if you want to use svn, you need a client. [20:45:57] ok, I got Tortise [20:46:14] TimLaqua: Tortoise sure has a diff and probably also a "make path" option [20:46:16] TimLaqua: Windows? :o [20:46:23] *make patch [20:46:31] <--MCP tried and true. ;-) [20:46:44] k, I'll go poke around [20:46:53] tortoise drove me crazy, i ditched it very soon. [20:47:08] what's a better client? [20:47:54] svn [20:47:59] for the command line. [20:48:04] k. [20:48:24] Duesentrieb: there's one for the Windows command line? [20:48:48] sure [20:48:56] "why not" lol [20:49:47] didn't know, used tortoise before switching to linux >.< [20:50:45] well, if tortise should give me a patch or whatever...

[22:01:57] no [22:02:05] you seem to have an old Mediawiki [22:02:28] just go to your page where you try to hide heading [22:02:34] Nah, I overwrote it with 1.10, but old files tend to stick around. [22:02:52] Ok and then? [22:03:10] do "view source" and check for the line body class="... page-Main_page" [22:03:35] if there is no class then you can't use this CSS rule; if it's not Main_Page simply fix the rule [22:04:24] Oh right yes, my bad.

[22:09:14] Special:Allpages [22:09:29] I've tried looking for it on the MediaWiki site, but the documentation seems to be in progress. [22:09:32] Ok let's see. [22:09:44] "always I/P" ;-) [22:10:15] TimLaqua: that one only gives existing MediaWiki pages it seems. [22:10:25] I/P? [22:10:43] in progress [22:10:50] Ah yes. [22:10:51] knows anyone help? [22:10:52] oh, I see what you're saying [22:10:59] plese! [22:11:03] please! [22:11:26] Sandokan, you wanna know what super magical MediaWiki: namespace pages make cool stuff happen [22:12:39] I totally just made my first patch. cool. [22:12:57] Yes, but I don't know the pages. [22:13:04] It's like Myst. I need the pages. [22:13:37] I mean, I can't visit the pages if I don't know they exist. [22:13:43] well... [22:13:47] those pages are dynamic [22:13:53] look at Special:Allmessages [22:14:18] Klemmi: if you trust the users, you can use $wgRawHtml = true. [22:14:49] trust users?!?! [22:14:57] haha [22:15:21] Ok so I'm at that Allmessages page, what can I learn from this page? [22:15:51] Oh right. [22:15:54] Hey Tim [22:15:54] well, what did you edit? [22:16:02] MediaWiki:Common.css? [22:16:08] scroll down to Common.css [22:16:09] Yeah it's green now. [22:16:16] You answered to soemting i wrote on the google analyitics links intergration extension [22:16:28] I did? [22:16:37] Was I incorrect? ;-) [22:16:41] Thanks for the headsup. [22:17:05] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Google_Analytics_Links [22:17:37] ah [22:17:48] I was wondering if you had any insight as to how to accomplis this goal there i am tlaking about. I mean without going and hacking the actual code for the html generation of external urls in the wiki parsers [22:17:50] yeah, that could pry be done. [22:17:52] is it acceptable to just put "@licence GNU General Public Licence 2.0" in a comment at the top of a file and have it count? [22:18:10] jimbojw, sounds good to me. [22:18:33] that's done in some of the extensions in svn.wikimedia.org - I was just curious [22:18:50] I never tag w/ a license [22:18:57] I suppose I pry should. [22:19:22] SimonMoon, 1sec, lemme go hunt down where it translates those [22:19:32] perl_splut: I do the job for the skin, but having the following : "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class myblack in /PATH/mediawiki-1.9.3/skins/myblack.php on line 40" [22:19:35] :/ [22:19:52] TimLaqua: thanks, appriciate it :) thought there might be a hook to exploit this :) [22:20:08] doubt it. unless you wanna regex the bejebbers out of it. [22:20:56] svn gives me a headache [22:25:18] thx [22:25:22] I read the manual [22:25:46] but I cant use $wgRawHtml = true. [22:25:57] because everyone should use it [22:26:04] its a math-editor [22:26:21] not sure, sputnick. [22:26:22] this math-editor produces the html.code [22:29:45] is someone have a CSS in black screen ? [22:29:51] perl_splut: ? [22:30:22] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gallery_of_user_styles#Black_Background_w.2F_banner.2C_similar_to_game_forums [22:31:06] can I say, that in the procedure, where the parser of the math-editor is run, a user is used, which is just used by the math-editor. [22:31:24] I could declare this user as a user who is allowed to use html [22:31:36] do you think, that is possible [22:31:48] (whithout editing the whole wiki) [22:33:59] Klemmi: it doesn't work that way. if you have html code in a page, and a normal user wants to edit the page, he could no longer save it [22:34:05] because he is not allowed to use html [22:34:25] why [22:34:32] why? [22:34:33] it looks like this [22:34:45] text [22:34:58] thats, what the user is able to see [22:35:17] then the php-scripts are running and make the html-code [22:35:22] that being html tags, or extension tags? [22:35:23] and print this code [22:35:25] SimonMoon, I don't see a real straightforward way of doing it [22:35:28] with this user... [22:35:38] "print" where? [22:35:44] that are extension-tags [22:35:50] which are already ready [22:35:58] SimonMoon, someone else might have ideas [22:36:00] so... where does the user come into play?# [22:36:07] extension tags output html [22:36:09] that's it. [22:36:09] ok, [22:36:15] the user makes the site [22:36:21] or edites a site [22:36:28] yes [22:36:39] the extension-tags output is html [22:36:48] exactly sth like this: http://screenshots.winfuture.de/1186071219.jpg [22:36:53] oh, no [22:36:53] sry [22:37:07] sth like this: [22:37:08]
\fedon\mixona^2+b^2=c^2 \fedoff [22:37:31] so? [22:37:44] TimLaqua: thanks for looking :) you know where it does the extrnal url link generation inthe code though? maybe i can request a hook in tehre :) [22:37:48] this will be created, if the user writes \fedon\mixona^2+b^2=c^2 \fedoff [22:38:07] and this output should not be shown as code [22:38:08] Klemmi: yea. that's how extension tagswork. now, what's all that talk about a special user? or allowing html? [22:38:27]
\fedon\mixona^2+b^2=c^2 \fedoff [22:38:33] thanks perl_splut, this one : PainColors is cool :) [22:38:34] is the output of the tag [22:38:40] I just see that in the Wiki [22:38:41] Klemmi: "should ne be shown as code"? ah, i know what's happening, i think. [22:38:54] yes [22:39:08] exactly [22:39:27] (sry, I'm bad at saying, what I want, because of my bad english) [22:39:31] Klemmi: the html that is returned by the extension is further processed on the block level. to avoid that, it must not contain any blank lines, and it must contain no line that starts with blanks. [22:40:04] Klemmi: this has nothing to do with users, or allowing html. it's simply the stupid parser applying block-level processing to generated html (which it really shouldn't). [22:40:14] This has been on bugzilla forever, i guess [22:40:37] oh, give me a minute to translate :) [22:41:55] hi! [22:42:02] so, the
is the mistake? [22:42:08] (at the beginning) [22:42:40] i've got an wikibooks dump here and i'd like to import it to a postgreql database. is another version than 1.6.x worth trying? [22:42:55] and, can i use mwdumper for doing this? [22:43:23] Klemmi: no. space characters, or blank lines are evil.
should be ok. [22:43:28] Klemmi: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8997 [22:43:36] there it is, in all its glory. [22:46:11] Hub441: you can use mwdumper (though i'm not sure how up to date its PG support is). 1.6 is ooold, so use a newer version, if you can (1.10.1, or wait a few days/weeks for 1.11) [22:47:52] Duesentrieb: well the wikimedia-pages say 1.6.x is recomended, and mwdumper doesn't support newer DB-schemas than 1.6 [22:48:29] (thats why i asked) [22:48:48] Hub441: it doesn't? sure? interresting. anyway... "1.6.x is recomended"? where does it say that? [22:49:14] Duesentrieb: well i'ts about 3month ago that i've read that but i'll try to find it again [22:49:17] Hub441: anyway, you can always build a 1.6 db with mwdumper, and *than* install the new wiki, which would then convert the db schema :) [22:49:41] Hub441: even 3 months ago, 1.9 would have been latest stable. [22:49:53] 1.6 is only recommended if you can't use php5 for some reason [22:50:35] Duesentrieb: ok, no php4 round here ;) [22:51:11] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MWDumper#Output_formats : "--format=sql:1.5 SQL statements formatted for bulk import in MediaWiki 1.5's schema" [22:51:49] ok so if mediawiki does the updating for me, i'll give it a try [22:52:12] does it also rebuild all needed math->tex ? [22:53:03] otherwise opening pages with a lot of math on it would take quite a while till all png's have been created [22:54:24] 03(NEW) Resizing PNG-24 images causes all alpha channel transparency to be lost and transparent pixels to be turned black - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10783 normal; normal; MediaWiki: Images; (t.laqua) [22:55:40] 03(mod) Resizing PNG-24 images causes all alpha channel transparency to be lost and transparent pixels to be turned black - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10783 (10t.laqua) [23:00:42] sorry, Duesentrieb: I tryed my very best [23:00:54] perl_splut : I take a lot of fun with main.css, html colors & vim :) [23:00:57] great !

[23:19:11] with my css, I have the button [modify] at the left of items like this : http://img382.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mediawikiblackdq4.png what can I edit to replace at original monobook place ? [23:28:10] hello channel. I created a new logo for my wiki, checked the manual, opened up LocalSettings.php looking for the $wgLogo setting to change, and...it's not there. [23:29:13] Add it. :) [23:29:38] is there a particular place to add it? I put it near the top, and it killed my wiki. [23:30:49] Did you put it above a line like " theremin: try this : cd PATH_WIKI && grep -R \$wgLogo . [23:32:41] I just tried putting it below: $wgPasswordSender [23:33:06] Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/.nerf/mcdyke/lakecountyfilmfest.com/wiki/LocalSettings.php on line 58 [23:33:29] sputnick: where am I putting that?
