What's wrong with my expression? [10:53:14] (Basically, if the input parameter is greater than 50, the hexadecimal code for green should be returned. If not, red is returned.) [10:53:46] Qjimbo_: not all settings are present in LocalSettings per default. look at DefaultSettings.php, copy the stuff you need to LocalSettings and modify it. [10:54:02] but stuff IS being cached somewhere [10:54:08] It does have proper return value with manual input (e.g. entering 80 instead of {{{1}}} in the expression), it just doesn't work with {{{1}}} [10:54:11] ooh I suppose it must be in default settings [10:54:20] Qjimbo_: parser cache is on per default. file cache is not. [10:54:32] hmm [10:54:47] browser cache applies, obviously [10:56:11] the {{#expr}} is probably not needed [10:58:08] #ifexpr just seems to return true or false whether the string contains something or not [10:59:05] no, that would be #if [11:01:43] Hmm, the expression does do what I have intended it to, it just doesn't compile inside a html table for some reason. [11:02:49] Div doesn't work either. [11:03:03]

[11:03:48] It just... prints out the expression as this text: 50 }} |#00FF00;|#FF0000;}}"> [11:07:13] I got it to work by making a separate template out of the expression, then just calling it..

[15:00:20] is it a MIME issue?

[17:32:55] The CSS file for the default skin is called "main.css". [17:35:06] I just updated from 1.6.8 to 1.10.1 [17:35:27] I now see on my pages, "Warning: array_slice() [function.array-slice]: The first argument should be an array in /nfsn/content/kjd-imc-wiki/public/languages/Language.php on line 1139" [17:36:26] and in error_log I see '[Mon Aug 13 10:33:18 2007] [error] "" is not a valid magic thingie for "if"' [17:36:45] (and much the same error for 'expr' rather than 'if' [17:39:14] 03kim * r24750 10/trunk/extensions/Wikidata/OmegaWiki/small/ (autoreplace.sh ra3.pl): [17:39:14] Somewhat working ra3... I'm now busy messing with it while [17:39:14] editing all of Omegawiki at once. Bwahahahaaa POWER! [17:41:00] how do i get a link to open a new page? [17:44:37] oh damn [17:44:41] if template [17:44:47] extension, etc. [17:44:58] somehow I think searching for 'if' is doomed to failure [17:45:51] Hmm... [17:46:14] kjdavies: Upgrade to the latest version of the ParserFunctions extension. [17:46:35] thanks. I just sussed that out *g* [17:47:53] hi [17:48:47] ha! I just remembered, this'll probably fix another problem [17:49:52] 03robchurch * r24751 10/trunk/phase3/includes/User.php: Tweak comment, "usable" is the purpose of this method, it's just confusing otherwise [17:50:05] ok well... [17:50:31] I compaired what happens when my working wiki with math outputs to error.log (http) and the wiki that will not work at all... [17:50:36] I get this error message... [17:50:45] dvips: ! Second input filename (Set/Wise/wiki/images/tmp/415_bb28e45b29313159a375c827d591aa82.dvi) specified. [17:51:16] which does not show up on the working wiki... if anyone has any insights please let me know. I now have exactly the same software on both servers. [17:52:27] I have to step out for a sec... [17:52:37] 03(mod) Your "login" line should say "email address" because that' s all that works - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10895 (10brion) [17:54:19] 03(mod) Your "login" line should say "email address" because that' s all that works - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10895 (10brion) [17:55:08] robchurch: yep, that did it. Now I'm fighting the kludges I had in place when I had to use the :P [17:55:34] 03(mod) If page title contains Umlaut the link on edit page is wrong - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10881 (10hj-meyer) [17:56:08] robchurch: to the left, it does solve the 'bug' I mentioned earlier, where it was choking a bit in Language.php [17:57:15] 03(mod) If page title contains Umlaut the link on edit page is wrong - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10881 (10brion) [17:58:19] *robchurch frowns [17:58:26] "Foo:Bar" is a valid username. [17:58:40] At least, I can create it. Problem, though, since once it's done, the actual username is "Bar". [17:59:17] I am trying to add ldap authentification to my configuration I added this information to my LocalSettings.php (http://mediawiki.pastey.net/72179) and downloaded the LdapAuthentication.php. When I try to log in media wiki with my ldap username and password, it return an identification error. If someone can give a hand [17:59:49] Nokio: have you activated the log? [18:00:40] The misresolution check in User::isValidUserName() seems to be dud, or else, Title::getText() is being misused. [18:04:33] 03kim * r24752 10/trunk/extensions/Wikidata/OmegaWiki/small/ (go.sh ra3.pl): [18:04:33] Still working on pl scripts for large scale code modification. faster, [18:04:33] faster! (Too bad this only really needs doing once) [18:06:08] gah [18:06:15] so I guess I have a dvips problem... [18:06:25] this template, I either end up with extra white space, or none (no linebreaks) [18:07:22] is it safe to just nuke out the user in the users sql table when i want to delete him or should i use some script for that? [18:08:44] ha! [18:08:47]

to the rescue [18:09:08] Flominator: there is almost nothing into my apache log [18:10:45] Nokio: i meant the log of the ldap-extension ... [18:14:39] okay, this is weird [18:14:45] I have a template that takes arguments [18:15:13] if I have "fieldname=paragraph1.\n\nparagraph2.|" it presents it as a single paragraph [18:15:21] if I have *three* paragraphs there, it splits them up [18:15:48] 03robchurch * r24753 10/trunk/phase3/ (RELEASE-NOTES includes/api/ApiQueryUserContributions.php): [18:15:48] * (bug 10902) Unable to fetch user contributions from IP addresses [18:15:48] * `list=usercontribs` no longer requires that the user exist [18:16:04] 03(FIXED) Unable to fetch contributions from an IP address - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10902 +comment (10robchur) [18:16:07] *robchurch mutters nasty things about the API [18:17:24] flominator: How can I activate the log of the ldap extension? [18:18:30] 03robchurch * r24754 10/trunk/phase3/includes/api/ApiQueryUserContributions.php: Better variable and method naming [18:19:18] Nokio: there is a variable ... pls wait [18:20:36] Nokio: add $wgLDAPDebug = 3; to your LocalSettings.php [18:21:33] so no one has had any dvips problems with the Math process on MediaWiki? [18:21:55] brion: It must warm your very soul knowing that, even as there are people screaming at you to finish it, there is at least one person who believes you are the spawn of Satan for daring to work on unified login. [18:22:51] meh [18:23:55] Flominator : Let me take a look at what it say's thanks brb! [18:25:46] *MinuteElectron gets annoyed at PHP for not using the PHPIniDir setting in httpd.conf [18:26:44] Flominator : Thanks that does the trick, it's now working as expected. Thanks again!! [18:27:00] Nokio: your welcome [18:27:04] damnit... I'm constantly trying to concatenate strings using "." [18:27:13] which is bad when you're trying to write javascript [18:27:17] whoops [18:27:31] makes all sorts of funky errors depending on what comes after [18:28:01] TimStarling: using + for it in php produces even funnier results [18:28:03] TimStarling: Sounds like this PHP thing has your brain in a state of rot. [18:29:37] *MinuteElectron ponders what Anthony thinks is so bad about SUL. [18:30:07] Oh, I see. [18:30:36] yep, personalhomepagius encephalitis [18:31:22] lol [18:33:09] Well, at least if you get the shits, you'll be able to go properly... [18:38:49] bye [18:44:51] okay, I think I'm getting a handle on this [18:45:09] somewhere along the way, it seems they (y'know, *them*) changed how whitespace is handled in templates [18:45:22] {{#if}}, it now removes whitespace around the arguments [18:45:55] which probably explains why stuff was all running together -- it was stripping the newlines I was putting into the {{#if}} call [18:46:20] They hate whitespace. [18:46:23] *robchurch nods sagely [18:48:01] Yello! I'm looking for documentation about the MediaWiki:* pages.... [18:52:18] What kind of documentation? [18:52:25] List of messages? [18:53:44] Dunno. I just found a page called MediaWiki:Common.css and I'm trying to find out what else there is and what I can do here. [18:53:50] w00t [18:53:57] PHP has stopped being a whore. [18:55:08] docwhat: MediaWiki uses "messages" for localisation. Messages can be customised via the MediaWiki namespace. Some messages are abused for special purposes, e.g. MediaWiki:Common.css is used for additional CSS for all skins, MediaWiki:Sidebar is the navigation bar, etc. [18:55:24] You can find a list of all message at Special:Allmessages, along with their default content, and changed content, if applicable. [18:56:50] sorry about asking such a basic question but - my boss recently discovered that a page had been edited a long time ago and information from the old version still show up when relevant information is searched for but it occurred so long ago that it does not show up in the history of that page - is there ANY way to retrieve the old page if it is not in the history any more? [18:57:49] ninjabear: Unless you lost data (perhaps in a server crash), MediaWiki keeps every edit regardless of age. [18:58:27] it was only that page that was affected so i do not think it was a server crash [18:58:38] robchurch: Thanks. :-) [18:58:59] and if that was the case wouldn't it not show up in the search results? [19:00:33] It shouldn't, unless the text is in the current version of the page. Maybe your search index is outdated or something, but I don't know how the search feature works. [19:00:52] ninjabear: Run rebuildsearchindex.php in /maintenance [19:01:02] using php rebuildsearchindex.php [19:01:05] or something like that [19:01:43] well it is not the search that I am concerned about - we want to restore the information that it is finding [19:02:01] ninjabear: Page histories are split into multiple pages. You've checked all of them? [19:02:39] it only has one page of history [19:02:57] We had figured that it just listed changed for a certain time period [19:04:27] though the histories on the other pages go back further in time [19:04:55] Check the first edit. Maybe someone copied and pasted another article. [19:05:33] Or check the deletion log for that page; someone might have deleted the original article you're looking for. [19:05:47] how do i access that? [19:06:14] Special:Log [19:07:19] so i can see deleted histories there as well as deleted pages? [19:07:32] yep [19:07:46] A deleted history would appear as a deletion then a restoration [19:12:41] so if the old version is not in the history, and the old version is not in the deleted logs, then.... haha it just disappeared? [19:14:07] Yep. [19:15:46] is there a log for looking at edits? or anything like that? i just dont see how someone could have edited the page and left no trace of it [19:16:27] The history view /is/ the log of edits for that page. [19:16:32] ninjabear: Do you know SQL? [19:17:25] i know that's what the history is - the problem is that it is obviously missing information [19:18:17] no i do not - but i can probably find someone who does if necessary [19:18:33] is it possible to tell mediawiki to dual license the contents under the GNU Free Documentation License [19:18:37] ? [19:18:47] and creative common attribution? [19:19:43] no [19:19:43] i got a problem: i added a group "moderatoren" and use $wgRestrictionLevels = array( '', 'autoconfirmed', 'sysop', 'moderatoren' ); ... i also modified MediaWiki:Protect-level-moderatoren. but when i change the protection of an article so that only ppl in the "moderatoren" group can edit it, nobody can edit it, not me (sysop+moderatoren), nor any normal users who in the "moderatoren" group. any ideas? [19:20:05] $wgRestrictionLevels is an array of permission keys. [19:20:19] "sysop" is transformed into "protect" for backwards-compatibility reasons. [19:21:03] how do you link to images with a description? [19:21:11]
