[00:20:22] hi all [00:20:52] quick question, i have googled this but cant find an answer, how do I add groups to my mediawiki installation? I am running 1.10 [00:23:19] Just add $wgGroupPermissions lines for them and they'll magically appear. [00:23:24] They don't have to be separately declared. [00:23:35] hmm, ok. thanks for that [00:28:32] Hello, Whenever I try installing Media Wiki, the installation screen stops and says done after the word, PHP 5.2.3 installed. Any suggestions or how to install Media Wiki in manual mode? My SQL and PHP is up to date. [01:07:12] 14(INVALID) Closure_of_Chamorro_Wikipedia - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10706 +comment (10node.ue) [01:12:00] 03(mod) Closure_of_Chamorro_Wikipedia - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10706 (10cbrown1023) [01:13:04] Is there some sort of tool for generating a series of flat html pages, a pdf, a chm file or the like from a mediawiki wiki? [01:15:57] How can I remove background "headbg.jpg" [01:16:00] ? [01:16:22] (1.6.10 for PHP4) [01:18:19] *tylermenezes wonders if anyone is here [01:20:45] Hi, folks [01:20:57] I'm in trouble with a mediawiki installation [01:21:11] I'm in trouble with the Tombstone Blues [01:21:15] the wiki has been stopped during August [01:21:36] and yet it completely crumbled down on me [01:21:44] check SQL [01:21:49] with loads of SQL errors [01:21:59] paste an error here [01:22:03] and I have no idea what's going on [01:22:06] link? [01:22:21] this one is the latest: 1194: Table 'bw_objectcache' is marked as crashed and should be repaired (localhost)". [01:22:34] http://ficcao.online.pt/bibliowiki [01:22:41] you have phpMyAdmin? [01:22:53] yeah [01:23:14] hang on [01:23:23] it seems I have a crashed table: bw_objectcache [01:23:39] what I can't understand is how a table crashes just like that [01:24:08] Candeias, MyISAM is unstable. [01:24:10] Repair it. [01:24:17] It could be any of a ton of things. [01:24:23] yah, thats what i was going to say [01:24:27] Actually, you can truncate it first if you want. [01:24:29] Or drop and recreate. [01:24:44] objectcache is just a cache and its contents aren't important, they'll just be regenerated. [01:24:49] not if there's a bunch of tables that are corrupt [01:24:56] Yes, then you have to repair those. [01:25:03] i have a feeling its going to have more than one error [01:25:12] but try dropping the table first [01:25:15] Should be quick if they're small. If they aren't, you'll need to exercise care. [01:25:24] if theres others, repair those [01:25:27] well... I'm experienced as a wiki editor, but I'm new to this db management thing [01:25:49] well try that [01:25:53] and let us know [01:26:18] OK, table dropped. Now what? [01:26:25] SHOW CREATE TABLE bw_objectcache; DROP TABLE bw_objectcache; CREATE TABLE `bw_objectcache` ( all the stuff from the SHOW CREATE TABLE statement goes here ); [01:26:33] Well, you've dropped it already. [01:26:37] So let me get you the spec. [01:27:35] CREATE TABLE `bw_objectcache` ( `keyname` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `value` mediumblob, `exptime` datetime default NULL, UNIQUE KEY `keyname` (`keyname`), KEY `exptime` (`exptime`)); [01:27:39] Try that. [01:27:52] <_Danny_B_> tylermenezes: still want to remove bgr? or already got solution? [01:28:09] Ideally I would suggest CREATE TABLE `bw_objectcache` ( `keyname` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `value` mediumblob, `exptime` datetime default NULL, UNIQUE KEY `keyname` (`keyname`), KEY `exptime` (`exptime`)) ENGINE=InnoDB; for better reliability. [01:28:19] But somewhat lower speed, for you. [01:28:44] found it [01:28:58] my find-and-replace function doesn't work o.o [01:29:19] how can i change the width of the left pane, though? [01:29:27] i need to make the logo image 50px wider [01:29:35] OK, that's a SQL query I can use as is, right? [01:29:43] (just checking) [01:30:23] ops... [01:30:27] seems it isn't [01:30:36] #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'â€ [01:30:52] seems theres a problem with copy and paste, then [01:31:01] trying step by step [01:31:15] wait [01:31:20] how many fields are there? [01:31:20] i see the problem [01:31:28] remove the ENGINE= [01:31:29] part [01:31:46] CREATE TABLE `bw_objectcache` ( `keyname` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `value` mediumblob, `exptime` datetime default NULL, UNIQUE KEY `keyname` (`keyname`), KEY `exptime` (`exptime`)); [01:31:51] try that [01:32:28] nope [01:32:31] same turnout [01:32:35] 03(mod) Closure_of_Chamorro_Wikipedia - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10706 (10node.ue) [01:32:39] hang on [01:32:44] ill run it [01:33:04] wikibugs: that's a rebuttal towards my comment probably, I better go look! [01:33:08] I'm going step by step [01:33:16] works fine for me [01:33:40] your just copy-pasting this into phpMyAdmin SQL area in the correct DB, right?

[01:36:00] ... [01:36:08] did you fix it? [01:37:57] I'm still on it [01:38:17] look: can one table have one "unique key" and another key? [01:38:36] 'cause I don't see here a place for an extra key [01:38:42] extra key? [01:39:19] I mean this part: UNIQUE KEY `keyname` (`keyname`), KEY `exptime` (`exptime`)) [01:39:32] there's one key that's unique and a second key [01:39:55] try this SQL [01:40:01] i just dumped it from mine [01:40:01] CREATE TABLE `objectcache` ( [01:40:01] `keyname` char(255) character set latin1 collate latin1_bin NOT NULL default '', [01:40:01] `value` mediumblob, [01:40:01] `exptime` datetime default NULL, [01:40:02] UNIQUE KEY `keyname` (`keyname`), [01:40:04] KEY `exptime` (`exptime`) [01:40:06] ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; [01:40:08] actually [01:40:11] wait a second [01:40:27] CREATE TABLE `bw_objectcache` ( [01:40:27] `keyname` char(255) character set latin1 collate latin1_bin NOT NULL default '', [01:40:27] `value` mediumblob, [01:40:27] `exptime` datetime default NULL, [01:40:27] UNIQUE KEY `keyname` (`keyname`), [01:40:28] KEY `exptime` (`exptime`) [01:40:30] ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; [01:41:06] CREATE TABLE `bw_objectcache` (`keyname` char(255) character set latin1 collate latin1_bin NOT NULL default '', `value` mediumblob, `exptime` datetime default NULL, UNIQUE KEY `keyname` (`keyname`), KEY `exptime` (`exptime`)) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; [01:41:11] that last one :P [01:41:24] ow man [01:41:26] :) [01:41:53] did that work? [01:41:58] same result [01:42:08] oh... :( [01:42:20] ill send you a screenshot of my table struct [01:42:22] hm [01:42:38] 03(mod) Closure_of_Chamorro_Wikipedia - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10706 (10cbrown1023) [01:42:43] there's an icon in front of `exptime` datetime default NULL , [01:43:13] seems the problem is there [01:44:51] http://viewfromhear.nfshost.com/struct.jpg [01:44:58] there's my table structure [01:46:00] qc_type is the index [01:47:07] hm... that's funny [01:47:21] ?? [01:47:23] it seems I can't insert a BINARY attribute [01:47:37] that might be the problem overall [01:47:48] something is wrong with your MySQL [01:47:54] the binary isn't working [01:48:07] hm... [01:48:15] that's on the server side? [01:48:41] does anybody know what file the text in the upper-right (the user text, like preferences) is located in? [01:49:09] OK, I created the table even without that attribute [01:49:19] but will it work? [01:49:21] and it worked this time [01:49:21] if not I'll keep looking, but if someone knows right off-hand.. [01:49:36] the creation at least [01:49:39] now what? [01:49:41] it works!!! [01:49:57] YES! [01:49:59] :) [01:50:10] so you were having a problem with BINARY attr [01:50:15] i'd talk to your host [01:50:25] im not sure how reliable this will be without that [01:50:26] well, that's the whole problem [01:50:30] I've tried [01:50:33] the cache might not work without that [01:50:35] and I got no reply [01:50:40] who is your host [01:50:46] ? [01:50:47] a portuguese company [01:50:52] Netcode [01:51:06] im on Nearly Free Speech .NET [01:51:11] they rock :D [01:51:21] These guys also used to [01:51:33] same with my old hosting company [01:51:36] but for the last months it has been a complete mess [01:51:39] which is why i moved [01:51:54] plus i pay like 30 cents a month here ;P [01:52:03] anyway, what could happen without that attribute? [01:52:14] the cache function might crash [01:52:17] try editing a page [01:52:19] again? [01:52:23] and then viewing it a few times [01:52:39] if it doesn't give you some weird error, it works fine :P [01:53:42] seems to be OK [01:53:58] holy cow [01:54:06] yay! [01:54:30] lemme save that little JPG of yours... :) [01:54:36] sure [01:54:49] just in case something else happens :) [01:54:55] exactly [01:55:04] so does anyone here know how to solve my problem? i need to make the image logo 50px wider [01:55:15] also, only needs to be 55px high [01:55:38] i have an installation problem and wen i run the install script, it stops at the PHP 5.2.3 installed part and the web browser says its done. [01:56:14] not getting any errors? [01:56:18] nope [01:56:42] hmm [01:57:00] i can't remember what gets checked after php version [01:57:05] but thats probably the problem [01:57:34] do u think it would be anything to do with the php_info command, cuz my host disables it for 'security reasons' [01:57:49] OK, I'm off now [01:57:52] thanks tyler [01:57:57] no problem [01:58:03] hope wiki works ok from now on [01:58:04] (say, that's a portuguese surname you've got there?) [01:58:10] yeah [01:58:13] my dad is [01:58:15] does anybody know which file creates the pages, all with MySQL and all? [01:58:20] know the lingo? [01:58:26] not really :P [01:58:31] you should learn [01:58:34] yeah [01:58:36] i might [01:58:37] and I should learn MySQL [01:58:38] ;) [01:58:41] yes :P [01:59:06] CyberXZT: it probably is the php_info [01:59:14] off now [01:59:17] not sure why they'd disable it [01:59:19] ok x.x gotta talk to my host then [01:59:19] cya and thanks again [01:59:20] lol [01:59:39] ick hosts suck sometimes [01:59:53] heh [02:00:04] ill see if i can find where the problem is in a bit [02:00:08] g2g right now [02:00:10] ok ty [02:00:12] bye [02:02:43] http://kissmesuzy.blogspot.com/2006/11/f-k-it-im-throwing-it-downfield.html [02:07:39] so anyone else here need help? [02:07:49] heh [02:07:50] or maybe someone would be willing to help me :P [02:09:28] tylermenezes: try restating your problem for those that weren't here :) [02:09:56] i need to change the height of the logo image [02:10:00] and the width [02:10:14] O_O [02:10:18] you're crazy :) [02:10:24] :P [02:10:28] *Worby is evil by suggesting this [02:10:36] but have you tried viewing defaultsettings.php? :) [02:10:43] haha [02:10:45] thanks [02:11:02] this is the first time i've used mediawiki [02:11:07] i was using PMwiki before [02:11:12] it might be a different option [02:11:14] h/o [02:11:14] I just got an SQL process [02:11:25] it's evil to suggest it [02:11:30] because you really shouldn't edit that file :) [02:11:50] well i already edited it to use mod_rewrite [02:11:55] so i know a bit [02:12:04] i can't find the logo width/height there [02:12:29] have you seen http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ#Reducing_the_size_of_the_logo ? [02:12:32] hey all, anyone have any experience with permissions in mediawiki? i want logged in users to be able to edit their user: pages but thats it, anyone know if this is possible? [02:13:04] DrZoot: I'm pretty sure that's possible, but I can't dig it out rightnow [02:13:06] aw how mean [02:13:12] lol [02:13:27] tyler: that link is for reducing it, but you might be able to figure out how to englarge it if you need that :) [02:13:53] i thought maybe i could disable edits for the user group and then enable edits for the user namespace somehow but i cant work it out [02:14:16] DrZoot: well, have you disabled anonymous editing? [02:14:20] okay ill try it [02:14:28] Worby: yeah [02:14:35] good :) [02:14:38] because if you hadn't [02:14:47] it would be pretty stupid to suggest that change :) [02:14:53] ive disabled everything for * and whitelisted the main and login pages [02:15:12] DrZoot: try http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#1.10_upwards [02:15:17] er [02:15:18] wait [02:15:22] bad link :) [02:15:37] okay, that KIND of worked [02:15:37] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_editing_of_an_entire_namespace [02:15:41] tyler: yay!

Also looking on mediawiki.org. [04:25:03] can anyone point me out to a mediawiki instance with a cool looking default skin? How about a site that has examples of well designed skins? [05:23:25] is there some way to make user file uploads private? by that i mean that if user A uploads a file called document.doc and user B uploads a file called document.doc they can both be seperate documents? [05:27:45] Not without substantial hacking of the code. [06:37:06] hi [06:41:02] how can i specify only one or two LDAP users to access (write) on my wiki? [06:49:50] anybody use DPL ?

I just installed ExtensionFunctions.php because an other extension needs that file. But the moment I uploaded it gives me this error message [10:13:16] and when i try an authentication i have this problem: Warning : ldap_start_tls [function.ldap-start-tls] : Unable to start TLS : Protocol error in /var/www/mediawiki/extensions/LdapAuthentication.php on line 166 [10:13:23] Fatal error: setup(): Failed opening required on line 47 [10:14:13] but i choose to not use tls : $swLDAPEncryptionType = array( "ldapDomain"=>"clear" ); [10:14:42] an idea? [10:15:39] and i've searched google about this and it only gives me 3 results that aren't very usefull [10:16:01] so anybody who encountered this before or who knows the anwser [10:19:38] hi [10:46:11] does anyone know why the sidebar is moved below the body with the standard unchanged monobook here? http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/8085/capturekb1.gif works fine with other skins though [10:47:19] wfRunHooks( 'MonoBookTemplateToolboxEnd', array( &$this ) ); ? [10:51:43] since i use the monobook as downloaded this can't be a coding problem like opened tags. but since it works with other skins, it has to be a problem with monobook [11:36:51] 03mkroetzsch * r24973 10/trunk/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/includes/storage/SMW_SQLStore.php: Fixed missing db escape [11:50:00] 03mkroetzsch * r24974 10/trunk/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/includes/SMW_QueryPrinters.php: Support "default" parameter in ask [12:01:47] hello , i have a fresh mediawiki running on my system. i need to change its look and feel ( theme ). how do i do it ?
