[01:58:14] 03(mod) Make customised BugZilla source available in Subversion - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10711 (10wmbugzilla) [01:58:24] Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble... [02:04:06] See, I not only managed to lose my admin password, but I apparently didn't specify a valid email address for that account. [02:04:51] thats a slightly painful problem ;) [02:05:03] and yes, I am a complete and hopeless n00b. Please don't kill me. :o [02:05:48] do you have access to the database? [02:05:54] Last time I had an issue like this, someone told me it was possible to go into phpMyAdmin and fix it that way-- yes :) [02:06:10] (but I've forgotten what they told me to do. ;)) [02:06:52] looking for the instructions. sec [02:07:02] thx! [02:07:13] do you have a non-admin account that has a password you know? [02:07:38] oh [02:07:40] Yes. [02:07:54] you can add an email address to the user's account through phpmyadmin [02:08:30] or you can take the password from the user you know, and use it for the admin's password [02:08:40] I sort of had a poke in that direction, but I'm not confident I know how to do it right. [02:09:12] the password will be a hash. just copy the one from the user you know, and modify the password field for the admin with the hash [02:09:34] Let's see -- if I go in to edit the admin user, it says user_email, and then a drop down, and then a text entry box. I don't know what to select from the drop down though. [02:09:36] Oh. Hmm. [02:09:56] i actually have a hosted server that uses phpmyadmin, lemme see if I can guide you though it [02:10:30] I'm not sure what a hash is, but unless it's "BLOB - 0 bytes", it isn't one. :/ [02:10:41] ok [02:12:06] i've never used phpmyadmin, so you'll have to bear with me [02:12:38] ok. [02:13:13] looks to me like the user_email field is a textbox [02:13:28] Yes. [02:14:45] hmm. looks like I just wiped out my password [02:15:04] agh! [02:15:17] heh. don't worry. it wasn't on an import site ;) [02:15:34] can you run queries? [02:15:41] without using the interface? [02:16:02] I have no idea how to do anything without using the interface. >_> I'm sorry. [02:16:36] There is a tab "Query" which I think is where I did something the other time. [02:17:40] oh. click the SQL tab [02:18:27] *does so* [02:18:49] do you know the user's user id? [02:19:06] go to your user table [02:19:29] Okay -- hang on. Do I want to be in the SQL tab, or in the user table? [02:19:45] well, you'll need to get some information for the query [02:19:54] ah, okay. [02:21:06] Yep, I can see user id, user name, user touched (??), user token (??)... [02:21:25] the other stuff is blank, NULL, or those weird BLOB messages. [02:22:46] ok. you'll need to know the user id [02:22:53] Okay. Got it. [02:22:55] UPDATE `user` SET `user_email` = 'testuser@gmail.com' WHERE `user`.`user_id` =2 ; [02:23:20] replace the email address, and then replace the 2 with the userid [02:24:34] put that into the text box in the SQL tab, and hit go [02:25:08] --there! [02:25:14] You've saved me! :D [02:25:20] now you can email yourself the password ;) [02:25:49] I have done so, I'm in! [02:25:57] cool. have fun [02:25:58] Thanks so much for being patient with me. [02:26:19] no prob. thanks for waiting on me to fumble through that interface :) [02:26:41] :D [02:27:10] Now to save this conversation for future reference, since it is inevitable that I will be dumb again in the future. *g* Thanks again! [04:13:38] hi i downloaded a skin for mediawiki, i put it in the skins folder, then i changed $wgDefaultSkin to the new skin's name in localsettings, but it doesnt seem to work [04:13:40] am i missing something [04:27:52] izzo: where'd you get it from? [04:36:02] is everyone afk :( [04:36:53] Yep. [04:37:22] lol, can you help me with a skin problem [04:37:41] i asked a while ago and couldnt get any responses, do you know anything about skins [04:37:52] A little. [04:37:55] i got a custom skin and im trying to use it, but i cant get it to work [04:37:59] i put it into the skins folder [04:38:08] and then changed $wgDefaultSkin to the new skin's name [04:38:11] what else do i need to do [04:38:33] What do you mean by "it doesn't work"; it still shows the previous skin? [04:38:52] ill show you http://samjlevy.com/wiki [04:39:46] i guess this skin i downloaded could not be compat with the latest wiki version, i thought it said it was [04:40:30] should it just be that simple though, as copying it to the directory? [04:42:07] The preferences page and JavaScript think you're using the "Classic" skin. [04:43:17] hmmm i wonder how [04:43:39] Did you read < http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Skins >? [04:44:53] well it was a premade skin, but i did follow the steps for adding it to localsettings [04:45:16] ill just try a different skin and see if it was just something with that one [05:26:49] gays [05:40:05] hey dudes [05:40:07] let's fuck [05:40:10] yeah!

[13:06:12] 	tuxillo: read the documentation for the sidebar...
[13:08:31] 	hi! why on our wiki the number of articles is incorrect (lesser)?
[13:10:45] 	phantomsc, tried to purge statistics page you are watching on?
[13:11:52] 	Kalan: sorry, how to do that?
[13:11:52] 	hmm getting one error in now.. Fatal error: Call to undefined method ParserOutput::addHeadItem() in /wiki/extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.class.php on line 66 
[13:11:55] 	brion-office, O RLY? (about your comment on bug 10857)
[13:12:23] 	snoops: have you downloaded GeSHi library?
[13:12:53] 	phantomsc, add ?action=purge to the page's URL
[13:13:09] 	I downloaded the svn one and placed it in a folder called geshi inside the SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi folder as per the instructions
[13:13:29] 	Kalan: we will try now, just a minute
[13:13:35] 	inside that geshi folder is geshi.php and another geshi folder which holds each language type renderer
[13:18:39] 	Duesentrieb: i haven't found docu related with adding other sidebars
[13:18:59] 	Kalan: doesn't help, unfortunately :(
[13:19:20] 	j/jsakdlfasdf
[13:20:00] 	hmm... so tell me, what is your wiki, what url do you use to get the count and what the real one is
[13:20:18] 	http://anticopyright.ru/
[13:20:50] 	Kalan: the counter is on the main page, and you can see on specials (all) that there are twice more pages...
[13:21:36] 	65 is shown on main page, and 125 total are in the DB
[13:28:15] 	Kalan: any ideas?
[13:33:34] 	flyingparchment, here?
[13:33:59] 	zocky: only if it's not about mediawiki, or really important
[13:34:29] 	it's about mw and i'ts not urgent, but it's important long term, so if you don't have time now...
[13:35:03] 	(i think I've invented a nasty attack method, but i'm not sure, and I sure don't want to WP:BEANS)

[13:37:11] 	good :)
[13:39:32] 	any idea on that Jack_Phoenix? I just got rid of the svn and downloaded the latest/extracted manually, and same error
[13:39:42] 	hmm
[13:39:48] 	where is the GeSHi placed?
[13:40:07] 	what, geshi itself, or the hightlite extension that uses it?
[13:40:49] 	/wiki/extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/geshi/geshi.php
[13:42:06] 	very odd...
[13:42:12] 	that *should* be correct
[13:44:09] 	sounds like syntaxhighlight is trying to call a nonexistant method in geshi
[13:46:54] 	hmm any idea why $wgScriptPath would be ignored only when the user isn't logged in? im using $wgUsePathInfo also

[14:02:30] 	no, when I modify a wiki page

[14:02:43] 	but when I am logged
[14:02:46] 	it doesn't work !
[14:03:01] 	hmm im sorry i cannot help you then....im just an user :(
[14:03:07] 	Hi Guys
[14:03:12] 	hi Fahim
[14:03:29] 	as an approximative translation, the message is : "sorry! we can't register your modification because of a loss of your session. Try again, if it fails again, please disconnect and reconnect"
[14:03:32] 	Is there any option to hide my mediawiki, so that someone can only see my wiki after logging in?
[14:03:38] 	but event after disconnection/reconnection
[14:03:40] 	same problem
[14:04:53] 	Or is there any possibility to creat user accounts and people without user account cant see anything?! Searched for such a option but I did not find it
[14:05:17] 	http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access ...
[14:05:52] 	:(
[14:06:18] 	ok thank you very much I will read that
[14:06:24] 	hmm.. if I don't set a lang attribute I get a message asking to set one
[14:06:32] 	but as soon as I set one, it's all down hill
[14:07:53] 	but yep, same error on line 66.. :(
[14:08:48] 	how is it possible to "backup" all the wiki?
[14:08:58] 	just by saving the sql database, or something else to do?
[14:09:09] 	copy your the direcoty
[14:09:14] 	and copy your database
[14:09:18] 	oki
[14:09:31] 	use phpmyadmin for backup your database
[14:09:37] 	it works ok with me :)
[14:09:54] 	another very little question, I added a page, in a categorie, but how to show the list of categories on the home page?
[14:10:27] 	goto special pages
[14:10:31] 	and then categories
[14:13:04] 	ok, thx, but is it possible to show the list of categories on the home page?
[14:15:28] 	categorytree is one way to do it
[14:15:34] 	dpl is another
[14:18:48] 	is it possible to link an image to an external link?
[14:19:06] 	so when I click on an image then it will go to i.e. www.google.nl
[14:19:17] 	seems like there is nothing on the mediawiki pages about this....
[14:19:32] 	search for "navigational images"
[14:19:40] 	thank you
[14:19:42] 	it's possible, but should be avoided, and it's... tricky
[14:21:30] 	why
[14:21:45] 	its internal...and very good secured...so i think it should be ok
[14:22:16] 	EK_123, http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Imagemap should help you
[14:22:29] 	or http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap ... try both links, one of them should work
[14:23:56] 	Kalan and Duesentrieb, none of those sites is describing what I need :/
[14:24:26] 	EK_123, with ImageMap, you can make some picture clickable to the target that you want

[20:23:51] 	hi
[20:24:18] 	how can I add a "section" in the left of the wiki-site, lke on mediawiki there is "site" "download" "support" "development"
[20:24:19] 	...
[20:24:29] 	edit MediaWiki:Sidebar
[20:24:36] 	?
[20:24:38] 	where?
[20:25:34] 	?
[20:28:01] 	I wrote "MediaWiki:Sidebar" in the textfield
[20:28:02] 	I have a page
[20:28:10] 	navigation
[20:28:10] 	    * mainpage|mainpage
[20:28:10] 	    * portal-url|portal
[20:28:10] 	    * currentevents-url|currentevents

[20:28:11] 	    * randompage-url|randompage
[20:28:13] 	    * helppage|help
[20:28:15] 	    * sitesupport-url|sitesupport
[20:28:22] 	that I can modify
[20:28:34] 	but, what have I to change?
[20:28:36] 	yes, but please don't paste text directly to the channge
[20:28:39] 	*channel
[20:28:41] 	ok
[20:28:49] 	 Don't paste text to the channel, use http://mediawiki.pastey.net 
[20:28:51] 	-topic
[20:29:21] 	what have I to change?
[20:29:38] 	depends on what you want to change
[20:29:50] 	for example if I want to add a section "download"
[20:29:52] 	on the left
[20:30:03] 	you would add *download
[20:30:09] 	and then some subitems
[20:30:11] 	with 3 link "for Linux" "for Windows" "for MAC"
[20:30:22] 	like **for Linux|For Linux
[20:30:23] 	etc.
[20:30:30] 	FAQ has a section about this, I believe
[20:30:47] 	ah yes, I didn't understand because it is not in the same language:
[20:31:02] 	on my menu I have "accueil", in Sidebar I have "mainpage|mainpage"
[20:31:07] 	where are the mappings?
[20:34:51] 	rom1v: See http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Interface/Sidebar
[20:35:14] 	Sorry, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar
[20:35:23] 	There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page.
[20:35:34] 	Try the second link.
[20:36:00] 	;)
[20:37:03] 	ok thx
[20:37:31] 	And how to add the list of categories on the main page?
[20:38:13] 	Which list of categories?
[20:38:27] 	I would like to show on the main page all categories available in the wiki
[20:38:46] 	automatically
[20:39:13] 	rom1v: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree
[20:39:32] 	try the Wiki Category Tag Cloud extension: http://static.wiki-tools.com/wiki/Extension:Wiki_Category_Tag_Cloud

[21:38:27] 	Randomly my MediaWiki keeps timing out with "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" when logging in... I've looked at the debug and can see no difference between a successful login and a "bad" one, and this never happens with Firefox
[21:38:53] 	still says uploads disabled 
[21:39:39] 	where in your localsettings did you put the new line? or did you modify the existing line?
[21:40:03] 	modifed an existing line in..
[21:40:22] 	/var/lib/mediawiki1.7/LocalSettings.php
[21:40:37] 	though the changes spread to the other localsettings file too
[21:41:03] 	"other localsettings file"? ugh. well, i hope it's just a symblink
[21:41:23] 	anyway, linux packages of mediawiki often do strange shit.
[21:41:31] 	yeah a sym link
[21:41:36] 	wasn't sure
[21:41:37] 	it may not have the auto-purge magic...
[21:42:45] 	Tom-Servo: err... i don't know if the purge-on-edit magic works with a symblink.
[21:43:04] 	I edited the non link one 
[21:43:11] 	Tom-Servo: try touching the symblink in mediawiki's web root
[21:43:49] 	Tom-Servo: yes, well. wenn the config file is loaded, it looks at its own timestamp to check if it was modified. but the symlink was not modified. so it doesn't notice.
[21:44:09] 	so, touch it and see. and report this issue to the package maintainer.

[21:51:02] 	oh there we go
[21:51:45] 	I thought I looked through the settings but later in the file there was a false on the enable uploads, doh
[21:52:01] 	i'm trying to convert a twiki install into mediawiki using a script.  it fires off proper sql, but it is apparently trying to import into ${mediawikidb}.cur.  that table doesn't exist on my installation, is that something that used to be around but is now deprecated?  is there another table i should be using instead?
[21:57:29] 	effthis: the cur table is from the 1.4 days. gone for a couple of years now.
[21:57:44] 	is there an analog in the current schema?
[21:57:49] 	no.
[21:58:09] 	effthis: anything that wabts to import into mediawiki should generate a mediawiki dump xml.
[21:58:19] 	all this script does is generate sql that will insert into either cur or images
[21:58:20] 	that's safe against schema changes, and also much simpler to do
[21:58:28] 	effthis: then the script is worthless.
[21:59:03] 	effthis: you can try to change it to output xml that mw will understand. but youÄll be rewriting half of it.
[21:59:08] 	if i import this into a mediawiki 1.4 install will i be able to do an upgrade to current?
[21:59:18] 	yes, with some pains
[21:59:32] 	does that seem like a reasonable idea?
[21:59:40] 	charset conversion, for one thing
[21:59:49] 	well, *I* would hack the script to spit out xml :)
[22:00:01] 	the format is simple enough.
[22:00:05] 	duly noted.  i know next to nothing about this domain though.
[22:00:19] 	actually, i did that for erfurtwiki
[22:00:50] 	you'll probably find this all the more amusing, but mediawiki is actually an in-between
[22:01:04] 	>_<
[22:01:32] 	it's going like this: ancient twiki install -> mediawiki -> trac wiki
[22:02:09] 	03daniel * r24713 10/trunk/extensions/Gadgets/Gadgets.php: cache parsed gadget list using wgMemc
[22:02:10] 	there's no twiki to trac tool out there, but there is a twiki to mediawiki and a mediawiki to trac
[22:02:29] 	i don't think is is going to work very well.
[22:02:35] 	agreed!
[22:02:57] 	effthis: is trac able to import from some flat format? text files? xml?
[22:03:01] 	it doesn't need to work /that/ well really.  the twiki is just an archive at this point, but i'd rather import it in some editable form than just publish it as html.
[22:03:28] 	trac can import from its own wiki syntax, and there's also a script for importing from mediawiki
[22:03:29] 	if trac has a decent import facility, write a script to target that.
[22:03:43] 	well, converting syntax is one thing.
[22:03:53] 	the ideal would be to convert twiki's syntax to trac's, and then import using the admin tool
[22:03:55] 	you can probably rip that out easily enough from the existing converters
[22:04:15] 	i was hoping to get something jamming with the 'middleman wiki' here, using 2 already-available scripts
[22:04:20] 	the other thing is the wrapper format (xml, in the case of mediawiki)
[22:04:31] 	but if the 'cur' concept is ancient history, i may have to approach it the hard way
[22:04:41] 	effthis: you can try, but i guess it's not worth the pain :)
[22:04:54] 	you'll probably have a hard time finding a download for me 1.4 :)
[22:05:38] 	http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=34373&package_id=93103 looks like the ticket
[22:05:55] 	the process is beginning to get a little silly though...
[22:06:08] 	twiki -> mediawiki 1.4 -> mediawiki -> trac
[22:06:29] 	effthis: well, do check out what the trac importer expects
[22:06:37] 	maybe it too expects the 1.4 schema?

[22:07:18] 	doubtful, but a very good point.  thanks for your pointers on all of this!
[22:08:26] 	effthis: generally, *porters that access internal structured directly are icky and bound to break things. use flat exchange formats wherever you can.
[22:09:01] 	i looked :<  i'm pretty disappointed that trac doesn't support something more standard for imports.
[22:09:16] 	the whole wiki market is really segmented when it comes to import/export
[22:09:57] 	i'm beginning to think that the best method would be an html parser.  wikis export as html without headers/footers, importers convert html to their wiki format.
[22:12:07] 	effthis: well again: wikitext syntax is one thing, wrapper format another.
[22:12:46] 	using html as an in-between for wikitexte would be quite lossy. but then, converting between syntaxes is generally pertty trivial (at least if getting 90% right is enough)
[22:13:12] 	fiddeling the pages into the wiki's storage structure is the job of the wrapper format.
[22:13:13] 	i think one has to expect some amount of degradation when going between formats
[22:13:37] 	the beauty of wikis in general is that it's easy enough to add markup if it gets boffed, the concerning part for me would be actual data
[22:13:39] 	yes, but html is pretty bad. no templates, for one thing.
[22:13:48] 	sure

[22:13:57] 	** unknown PHP function 'array_len' (at least to my XAMPP), replaced with count()
[22:16:12] 	i do hope at some point everybody agrees on an in-between format instead of so many reinventions of the wheel and one-way converters
[22:16:34] 	a man can dream...
[22:16:34] 	even the projects with robust tools only seem to import, not export
[22:17:03] 	mw does both. no conversion of wikitext, though. just wrapping pages and revisions
[22:17:19] 	i have an instiki install that does textile and html exports
[22:17:21] 	Raymond_?
[22:17:36] 	the version i use, of course, has that feature broken >_<  it spits out corrupted zip files.
[22:17:57] 	VoiceOfAll: gave me some warnings
[22:18:00] 	does textile seem like a fair target for 'the format' to you, just out of curiosity?
[22:18:28] 	Raymond_: click on a revert link for images
[22:19:26] 	VoiceOfAll: what should I see?
[22:19:40] 	doesn't the title look odd
[22:20:07] 	VoiceOfAll: ah, you don't like it...
[22:20:18] 	Raymond_: somewhat redundant, and crappy for longer file names
[22:20:25] 	the name is right in the box
[22:20:45] 	it would be more consistent to just say "confirm revert" or such
[22:22:03] 	effthis: never looked at textile. i'd go for something xml based. maybe an extension of xhtml, or of opendocument, or some such.
[22:22:26] 	xml is made for text markup, and it's extensible with custom meta data, or even custom tags
[22:22:37] 	it's designed to be an exchange format. it seems like the obvious choice.
[22:22:55] 	VoiceOfAll: it's ok to me... maybe redundant, but you see the imagename in the browser title too. maybe helpful, sometimes... the problem with long file names exists on the image description page too. 
[22:23:28] 	Raymond_: what about the "confirm delete" title for pages?
[22:23:37] 	why not say "confirm deletion of X"
[22:23:47] 	or protect and the rest
[22:24:30] 	VoiceOfAll: point to you. on "confirm delete" title for pages the page name is a subtitle
[22:24:52] 	maybe you can do a subtitle for reverts then?
[22:24:58] 	change protection as subtitle too
[22:25:18] 	Does anyone know why the MediaWiki articles in the 'text' table are stored as binary blobs?
[22:26:05] 	Raymond_: I'd be happy with uniform subtitles
[22:26:30] 	good argument
[22:26:42] 	Raymond_:  wait, they are already there
[22:26:48] 	for protection
[22:26:59] 	yes, I said
[22:27:43] 	well, it just says 'Protecting "Main Page"'
[22:27:51] 	not "change" ;)
[22:28:46] 	hehe... the German translation means "change" ;-)
[22:28:46] 	see you around duesentrieb
[22:29:27] 	Raymond_: I'm not committing that any time soon though
[22:29:38] 	rob might bitch and moan ;)
[22:29:47] 	I know..
[22:29:55] 	Even though its very minor
[22:31:55] 	VoiceOfAll: 'protectsub'                  => '(Protecting "$1")', should be changed too? '(Changing protection for "$1")' ?
[22:32:10] 	what if it is not protected?
[22:32:28] 	it should depend I guess
[22:32:31] 	it's always a change?
[22:32:58] 	semantically you could say that, but then why do logs have "change/protected"?
[22:33:19] 	it's just easier for regular users
[22:33:32] 	right, they have the difference
[22:33:39] 	(the logs=

[22:33:59] 	that or use two messages

[22:42:17] 	ok, i guess that makes sense.  I'm fairly new to this wiki stuff.  How does it know that it's a redirect as opposed to an actual page?
[22:42:35] 	magi
[22:42:38] 	c
[22:43:19] 	so if I put extensions-url anywhere, will it always put a link to the value on that page, rather than going to that page?

[22:44:07] 	ok, thanks
[22:44:46] 	one more question:  Is it because it's trails by -url, or is it because it starts with MediaWiki:?  Or neither?
[22:46:18] 	jonnydev135: The former.

[23:39:58] 	Randomly my MediaWiki keeps timing out with "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" when logging in... I've looked at the debug and can see no difference between a successful login and a "bad" one, and this never happens with Firefox
