[00:37:10] that would most certainly determine what extensions you have installed :P [00:38:12] Yeah, thanks y'all.

[01:41:21] i'm working on a drupal module [01:41:28] to integrate mediawiki into drupal [01:41:46] the drupal modules are all included by a function [01:42:02] so nothing in the files has global scope [01:42:26] consequently, which in include MW_INSTALL_PATH . '/includes/DefaultSettings.php' [01:42:46] 03robchurch * r24767 10/trunk/extensions/ (4 files in 4 dirs): Make some SpecialPage::execute() declarations consistent [01:42:55] all the variables in DefaultSettings.php don't get global scope [01:43:24] is there any way in php to include a file such that variables in that file inherit global scope? [01:46:25] jablko: You have to declare each one you need to access as global in the including file [01:46:46] i'm afraid of that... [01:46:55] Why? [01:47:05] there's a lot [01:47:15] Why do you need all of them? [01:47:31] i'm instantiating a Parser object [01:47:47] to filter drupal node bodies with mediawiki markup [01:48:19] it seems to take a ton of mediawiki includes to get the Parser object working... [01:48:53] Hrm .. I seem to recall something for drupal parsing .... [01:49:27] Why are you instantiating the Parser? I would probably just recommend hooking it where you need [01:49:54] Or are you trying to override/extend it? [01:49:59] didn't follow that... [01:50:24] i'm trying to run drupal node bodies thorough the mediawiki parser [01:50:38] to convert mediawiki markup in the drupal node [01:50:40] to html [01:51:04] not trying to override/extend the mw parser [01:51:08] Oh, so you're running this inside of Drupal, not mediawiki? [01:51:16] right. [01:51:23] Ah, okay .. didn't follow that :D [01:51:28] np : ) [01:52:00] Well, the ctor for Parser is a noarg ... where are you needing access to all of these globals? [01:53:02] The most difficult thing is probably building a Title, but you can override that obviously [01:53:15] well what i tried was: [01:53:27] require_once(MW_INSTALL_PATH . '/includes/Parser.php'); [01:53:27] $parser = new Parser; [01:53:46] but this needs GlobalFunctions.php [01:53:52] and ProfilerStub.php [01:54:04] and MagicWord.php [01:54:10] and ParserOutput.php [01:54:13] and ... [01:54:21] lots of includes [01:54:26] Yeah .. indeed [01:54:39] each uses a few globals [01:55:00] i tried defining the necessary globals in the drupal module: [01:55:05] $GLOBALS['wgContLang'] = new StubContLang; [01:55:31] but it's really best to use the Local/Default settings files [01:55:53] and this is where i hit the problem of including the Settings files but having them inherit global scope [01:56:08] instead of the scope of my drupal module file (not global) [01:57:08] your first suggestion, listing the needed globals in a 'globals $wgHooks, ...' line is a posibility [01:57:19] but i wonder if there's something cleaner? [01:57:24] You might use get_defined_vars(), iterate through it, and if the variable is prefixed with "wg", set $GLOBALS[$var] = $$var; [01:57:40] All MediaWiki globals [should] have a 'wg' prefix. [01:57:51] That's a bit messy though [01:58:17] I thought it was rather an elegant solution, overall. [01:58:24] 03amidaniel * r24768 10/trunk/phase3/includes/Parser.php: Minor whitespace cleanup ... rmvd closing ?> [01:58:54] robchurch: very clever. should work [01:58:54] Well, it'll probably work, but relying upon variable naming conventions seems shaky at best [01:59:14] does feel like a bit of a hack [01:59:30] Welcome to php :) [01:59:32] preffer it to listing variable names though [01:59:41] Of course it's a hack. But most of your solutions to that kind of problem are going to be hackish or require high maintennace. [01:59:43] *maintenance [02:00:19] Would be nice if we could make our classes a bit less interdependent though [02:00:41] Such that joe blow can build a parser to parse text completely unrelated and independent of mediawiki [02:00:56] Of course it would. In case you haven't noticed, people have been working on that since about 2005. [02:01:40] I have .. in some areas at least [02:01:44] *robchurch goes off to do something more productive than argue in a pointless discussion [02:02:06] We're arguing? Oh [02:02:08] News to me :) [02:02:19] AmiDaniel_away: much thanks for your help [02:02:50] jablko: Thank rob .. I didn't give you any solutions :) [02:03:16] robchurch: thanks [02:36:09] great, i got $parser working! [02:36:10] sort of. [02:36:42] when i run wiki markup through it, it get unusual html output: [02:36:44] http://pastebin.com/m5721baee [02:37:14] am i missing an option somewhere? [02:41:25] What's wrong with that? [02:41:41] Hmm, < exactly [02:41:59] and blah, foo, bar shouldn't be links [02:42:08] only [[Test]] should be a link [02:43:16] Looks like URL protocols are messed up, it's detecting a bunch of freestanding links. [03:05:22] Haha: http://stats.fennecfoxen.org/freenode/mediawiki.html I love it [03:05:37] Poor self, nobody likes him/her. He/She was attacked 12 times. [03:05:42] *AmiDaniel_away smacks self [03:25:22] robchurch: right on, $wgUrlProtocols fixed it [03:25:30] \o/ [03:25:38] now getting: http://pastebin.com/m2a1d1306 [03:26:01] looks good except the parser isn't converting "[[Test]]" to a link... [03:26:07] any more insights? [03:52:35] how do you use the files in the maintenance folder? [03:52:59] I noticed there's a "clear_interwiki_cache.php" file, I need to flush the cache so I figure maybe that'd do it =p [03:54:47] Qjimbo_: Do you have access to the root command line? [03:55:00] yep [03:55:27] you have to run them from the shell? [03:56:01] hmm it ran [03:56:09] but my cache still isn't cleared [03:56:42] Guessing from the filename, that only clears the interwiki table. [03:56:50] (The database table of interwiki links.) [03:57:13] Try editing LocalSettings.php; I think that clears the full cache. [03:58:24] just editing it? [03:58:32] Yep; add a space or something. [03:59:10] ok [03:59:27] it worked! [04:00:39] :) [04:06:03] Anyone got a good schema validator for me to use to make sure my extension.xml schema for the Extension Manager is working?

[07:57:54] {{foo}} breaks, but {{foo|}} and {{foo|bar}} works, on for example: {{subst:#if:{{{1|}}}|yes!|no}} [07:58:28] is there any way to check, in a parserfunction, if a literal string is some curley brackets? doesn't seem to work, nor does [07:58:46] Hmmm, make a template with the text { [07:59:03] Then use {{thattemplate}}{{thattemplate}}{{thattemplate}}1 etc [07:59:05] and subst it? ew... [07:59:11] Not subst, transclude.

[08:10:47] Hello, is it possible for me to setup a wiki using MediaWiki, but offline? My hosting isn't setup for it yet, but I would like to start on my wiki project. [08:11:10] SykoSilver: sure, if you turn your computer into a webserver [08:11:26] ...I know nothing of web stuff XD [08:11:43] for windows or macos, use XAMPP, it's easy to set up [08:11:53] it'S a bundle of apache, mysql, etc. [08:12:01] you'll have to learn some "web stuff" though [08:12:07] Hrm [08:12:20] Is that the only way? [08:12:24] yes. [08:12:34] mediawiki is a web application. it needs a webserver and a database. [08:13:06] Can I always change my computer back to not being a web server? =P [08:13:18] sure, uninstal xampp [08:13:35] wait,.. noinclude might have worked... [08:13:43] also, when setting up xampp, make sure you only allow local service (bind to localhost). it should have an option for that. [08:13:47] *Splarka investigates {{subst:#ifeq:{{{1|}}}|{{{1}}}|yes!|no}} more [08:13:52] Is there any downside to webserver-ness? [08:13:55] a personal firewall is also recommended. [08:14:15] downside? well, it eats up some ram. [08:14:31] Would only allowing local service mean that only I can access it? [08:14:43] Hi [08:14:54] and if you are not carefull (see above) and allow access from the wild, you are opening yourself up to attacks against the webserver. [08:15:06] are there any exentions for mediawiki that allow users to upload files to a sort of "Community Disk" ? [08:15:11] SykoSilver: yes, that'S what "only local service" means. [08:15:16] a browsable one [08:15:18] Alright.

[08:17:59] VoiceOfAll: Hmm? [08:19:36] VoiceOfAll: I understand where you're sort of going with this; however, you need to realize that these kinds of dramatic, dramatic overhauls should be done incrementally, not suddenly [08:20:26] This, for instance, breaks a lot of current methods of doing things ... I understand you're trying to replace histmerge with Special:Histmerge; however, it's at present far too underdeveloped for use and negates much of the current ability of admins to do complex merges [08:20:59] And you're trying to replace selective deletion/undeletion with rev_deleted, but in the same way there are definite advantages to selective deletion that rev_deleted doesn't offer [08:22:07] I'd much rather see rev_deleted be *added* and then Special:Histmerge and then a slow phasing out of old methods as problems with doing so are addressed [08:45:24] 03proes * r24777 10/trunk/extensions/Wikidata/OmegaWiki/OmegaWikiAttributes.php: Added a comment about architectural decisions.

[09:13:05] they are extension tags [09:13:52] the problem can be solved by moving template processing to before the extension tag processing, making it a true preprocessor stage [09:14:00] but it's at least a week of work [09:15:03] TimStarling who would be willing to take the challenge? [09:15:05] it can be solved on an extension-by-extension basis, like it has been for [09:15:46] for that you would want to contact the maintainer of the inputbox extension [09:16:10] but nobody is sufficiently interested in solving the general problem [09:17:55] chat-de-plafond: oh, you are werdna [09:20:07] TimStarling who wrote those extensions?

[10:47:52] it's quite wrong, $params is passed through to the media handler essentially without modification [10:48:25] and the media handler would have every right to throw a tantrum about frame-related parameters [10:49:19] but it doesn't matter because I'm resolving the issue by introducing a $frameParams parameter [10:50:37] sorry if I should have complicated your work. [10:52:04] I am not aware about the problems with the media handler [10:52:33] I'm not sure I understand this "upright" parameter, what is it for? [10:54:12] it is to scale images in a upright/portrait format proportional to landscape images. one minute, I will show you an example [10:54:41] without the need to use a fix width [10:56:19] it respects the user preference for the thumbs width. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilfe:Bilder#Hoch-_und_querformatige_Bilder_kombinieren_-_automatische_Skalierung [10:58:05] the proportions between normal thumbs and upright thumbs are for all users the same, regardless if viewing by an anon user (standard width 180px) or a logged in user (i.e. 250px in my preferences) [10:58:59] why does it need a fudge factor, specified by the user? [10:59:10] why can't mediawiki just figure it out? [11:00:11] "upright_factor=0.5" is the sort of thing that would be confusing to a non-technical user [11:00:19] there is a paramter in defaultSettings if upright is used without a factor. per default upright images are shown with 0.75 of the width [11:00:30] why 0.75? [11:00:37] what is the definition of an upright image? [11:01:11] 0.75 looks to me as the best. [11:01:16] wouldn't some images be excessively short? wouldn't you need to scale up the width appropriately for that? [11:01:36] the best when? you give an example there at 0.5 [11:01:53] presumably it's the best when the aspect ratio is in a certain range [11:02:34] wouldn't it make more sense to scale for equal area?

[12:39:57] @Jack_Phoenix quite good. in my case just something like a tickbox "I hereby accept...whatever term" would be enough. [12:40:31] well, I suppose that could be done too with a small hack or something [12:40:32] however [12:40:50] ConfirmAccount has such a tickbox that one needs to check, even though the screenshot may not show it [12:43:04] 14(INVALID) Job queue never empty. - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9518 +comment (10robchur) [12:44:42] 04(REOPENED) Add project namespace alias ("Wikipedia") for Haitian Creole Wikipedia - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10905 summary; +comment (10robchur) [12:46:31] @Jack - thanx [12:46:54] np [12:55:58] 03(mod) Namespace and site rename on Norwegian Wikibooks - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10641 (10herman) [12:56:28] 03(NEW) Editing last diff causes re-edit of that diff instead of creating a new edit - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10916 normal; normal; MediaWiki: Page editing; (eep) [12:58:24] can I safely change $wgSitename ?
