[00:00:13] <_hc> SimonMoon: which setup did you use? [00:01:53] http://www.steverumberg.com/wiki/index.php/WikiHelp [00:02:04] thats the apporach i used, worked best for what i needed [00:02:46] Duesentrieb: I just added a reply to your lockdown extension talk - if you don't want it there, just go knock it off. I'm about to knuckle down and start figuring out FileRepo over the next couple of weeks. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Lockdown [00:02:49] but if i can get everything untangled, and get teh shared pooling going for all wikis in one location, its gonna work pretty good :) [00:04:22] SimonMoon: have you tried using the Farmer extension? [00:04:30] no [00:04:52] <_hc> feltipen: looks like it will be cool, but I am not ready to maintain patches against mediawiki yet, which it says it needs [00:05:13] yeah im trying to install them now, i have NO CLUE how to do it! [00:05:20] it's driving me up the wall haha [00:06:04] why dont you want to add them? Are you weary of the effects they may have on your working copy? [00:08:55] that farmer extension looks very good [00:09:28] i know, i just can't get over this hurdle, gah! [00:09:33] <_hc> feltipen: it's more work to maintain, then if the farmer code changes, it would be more work to upgrade, etc. [00:09:51] <_hc> feltipen: I expect other languages to be added slowly, so I don't need it yet [00:09:52] what kind of maintenance are you referring to? [00:09:53] if ou do the farm right, its ONE upgrade really [00:10:09] you change one set of patched fiels and all wikis use the same files.. [00:10:14] <_hc> feltipen: like upgrading to new versions of mediawiki, etc. [00:10:19] right [00:11:05] hm, do either of you know how to get a patch up? [00:11:39] <_hc> feltipen: you mean add a patch? [00:12:11] <_hc> feltipen: or I should say: apply a patch to mediawiki sources [00:14:41] feltipen: If you are familiar with SVN, you can use it to apply patches. Otherwise, the patch files are just text and you can hand apply them with any standard editor. You'll figure out the syntax pretty quickly. [00:14:58] you don't need svn, just the 'patch' command [00:15:58] <_Danny_B_> TimStarling: i have problems with slider in your ogg player (cant slide to any position when playback is running, it always jumps back to start and restart the playback), is it known issue? [00:17:55] Sorry, I was thinking of TortoiseMerge (part of TortoiseSVN). [00:18:09] 03robchurch * r25571 10/trunk/phase3/ (HISTORY RELEASE-NOTES includes/DefaultSettings.php): [00:18:09] * Bump version to 1.12alpha [00:18:09] * Move old RELEASE NOTES to HISTORY, skeleton for RELEASE NOTES for 1.12 [00:22:01] 03tstarling * r25572 10/trunk/phase3/languages/Language.php: addMagicWordsByLang() -- always include english in the fallback chain [00:22:17] _Danny_B_: yes, it's known to me at least [00:22:36] man. [00:22:42] thats so fucked [00:23:16] i have TortoiseSVN [00:23:18] doEdit does not register wgHooks as a global. [00:23:36] i just installed it, but have no idea how to use it to connect to my working copy of mediawiki [00:24:17] so every information on it is lost on calling it even if the calling function does declare it as a global and give it a value [00:24:19] <_Danny_B_> TimStarling: what happens if the video has larger dimensions than user has in preferences for picture preview? is it shrinked? [00:24:26] TimStarling: Is it safe for me to start looking at applying Namespace protection to new fileRepo classes? [00:24:48] the generated thumbnail is always the source size, it just uses client-side scaling [00:25:10] jdpond: I suppose so [00:26:03] TimStarling: Thanks for all your work! Congrats on 1.11 and the new FileRepo! [00:26:30] <_Danny_B_> TimStarling: still very good job! [00:27:59] not knowing about this ogg-player thing, I just read some parts of "Wikipedia talk:Media", users screaming "VENGEANCE!" for using ogg instead of mp3... sheesh :P [00:29:01] Can someone learn me whu doEdit does not declare wgHooks as a global? [00:29:07] they can go and complain to Frauenhofer for being dickheads [00:30:55] MP3 is old [00:31:18] OGG gives better sound with smaller filesize, why use MP3 at all? [00:31:19] I am fine with Fraunhofer claiming licensing fees for the work they put into researching a new (at that time, revolutinary) method to store audio data [00:31:24] the buzz is all about AAC and WMA and stuff these days [00:31:24] <_Danny_B_> but unfortunately best supported :-/ [00:31:28] I do remember the pre-MP3 times [00:31:42] hahahah [00:31:45] but all that fuzz about ogg on that page is really obnoxious [00:31:49] someone reported brion's 1.11 announcement as UCE [00:32:03] UCE? [00:32:08] spam [00:32:16] heh [00:32:56] unsolicited customer email, or what was the acronym? [00:32:58] anyway, since this ogg player deployment is all about video, it's probably wise stop calling ogg an audio format for now [00:33:22] the audio format is vorbis, the video format is theora [00:33:24] ogg is a container format anyways.. [00:33:26] the player is for ogg [00:33:27] it's cool that you're doing it, makes ogg more popular, helps it to get established [00:33:34] <_Danny_B_> can parser tag names use (pseudo)namespaces? say i have tag with same name as other extension,so could it be like and ? [00:34:02] lch: ogg doesnt really need it. Most games made in the past couple of years are already using ogg extensivly.. [00:34:16] yes, but end-users don't [00:34:20] see talk page [00:34:48] every new file format has to fight against the current "standards" [00:34:52] lch: i bought an mp3 players almost 2 years ago, it can play ogg files, so i dont know why there should be a big uproar :) [00:35:13] we were considered pioneers for using PNG, you know [00:35:20] because it isn't natively handled by windows, I guess [00:35:24] when we started, IE's support was really poor [00:35:27] PNG is awesome [00:35:35] but now it's complete, so maybe we won that battle [00:35:44] <_Danny_B_> is it? [00:35:57] yeah, IE7 has full PNG support, from what I've read [00:35:59] I had one of those O'Reilly books about it in my hands before knowing much about it, and I almost drooled :P [00:36:05] IE6 was pretty close, it was IE5 that was awful [00:36:20] Hmm isnt there still that transparency and gamma correction bug in IE7 for pngs ? [00:36:27] <_Danny_B_> i'd say so [00:36:33] <_Danny_B_> that's why i was asking [00:36:59] what bug? [00:37:14] I thought that bug was in IE6 [00:37:29] not sure, though, never used it [00:37:31] <_Danny_B_> no (or poor) support for transparency - that's what i heard about ie7 [00:37:50] yeah, for some reason I've heard that about a lot of IE versions [00:38:00] but apparently it was only true for like IE 5.5 mac or something [00:38:03] <_Danny_B_> at least not in first release. maybe added in some windows update later :-? [00:38:11] even IE 5 had transparency support in PNGs [00:38:17] on windows [00:38:29] i thought basic transparency was fine, isn't the problem with alpha channels? [00:38:33] <_Danny_B_> yes [00:38:37] <_Danny_B_> semitransparency [00:38:45] and I tested alpha channels in IE6, it worked fine [00:38:52] maybe there's some particular problem though [00:39:00] that leads to this continuning report [00:39:01] I hope webdesigners would just stop supporting all those quirks for long outdated web browsers and move on [00:39:41] <_Danny_B_> TimStarling: png alpha could have been workarounded by some htc file [00:39:55] I was using a hand-crafted HTML file [00:40:06] tell people to update, don't do some hacks to get it looking the same under that specific browser version on this exotic OS, etc. [00:40:25] <_Danny_B_> TimStarling: therefore you are most probably lucky man ;-) [00:40:37] IMHO you got to work it on at least 90% of the userbase, you are good. [00:41:08] The rest gotta live with some minor ugliness or simply upgrade [00:41:23] <_Danny_B_> hmm, my question rolled out :-/ [00:41:24] <_Danny_B_> can parser tag names use (pseudo)namespaces? say i have tag with same name as other extension,so could it be like and ? [00:43:04] probably not [00:43:07] but who knows/ [00:44:43] <_Danny_B_> TimStarling: thought you do ;-) thanks anyway [00:45:14] 03(NEW) Alt. Text in Articles - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11205 15enhancement; normal; Kate's Tools: General/Unknown; (daniel) [00:46:45] since there are a few more experienced people around now, does anyone have some experiences with adding news to a wiki? [00:48:55] Extension:News [00:49:27] extension allows a custom excerpt from Special:Recentchanges to be included on a wiki page, or to be published as an RSS or Atom feed. [00:49:53] I need something from outside the wiki [00:50:06] The scenario is simple: vbulletin forum is used to post news [00:50:34] i have access to it in every way, RSS feed (that is a bit useless imho), direct database access, or html [00:51:02] I need some customization on the look of its output in either way [00:58:42] SimonMoon: there are several extensions for including rss feeds (they even have their own category on mediawiki.org). ther eare also extensions that can be used to include iframes, or html-snippets from files or a webserver (HTMLets is one of them) [00:58:48] anyway, i'm off to bed [00:59:18] htmlets sounds most promising there... [00:59:34] thanks for the hint. The RSS ones have not produced much ground for cheers here :) [01:07:27] I think that htmlet is perfectly suited for this. I just build the html outside the wiki with a cron job and put them in there with that extension. Thanks a lot for pointing it out! [01:10:38] oh man [01:10:47] im going to shoot myself in the head with this .patch file [01:12:05] 03(mod) Alt. Text in Articles - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11205 +comment (10cbrown1023) [01:12:12] feltipen, which one is that? [01:12:30] it's a patch file i have to apply to mediawiki for the Farmer extension [01:12:57] http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=2140&action=view [01:13:23] trying to update from 1.4 to 1.10 everything went fine, put the localsettings.php file back and now i get this when i ran the update script, database worked fine before. MySQL returned error "1146: Table 'wikidb.text' doesn't exist (chimera)" [01:13:26] of course i dont know the first thing about patches or shell extensions or unix command prompts or anything that would give me a first step to achieving this hapless goal [01:13:34] ah [01:13:55] feltipen, U got an svn checkout of the trunk? or phase3? [01:14:10] dunno what a trunk is, but im guessing it's my working copy of mw [01:14:16] ya [01:14:33] ok, then as far as i know, no i dont... [01:14:40] i downloaded Tortoise SVN though, if that helps [01:14:50] So you're on Windows? [01:14:52] yep [01:15:06] Did Brion give you commit access and you gave him your public key? [01:15:27] i didnt know that was necessary hah [01:15:31] yup [01:15:35] to commit to the SVN [01:15:40] he doesn't want to commit [01:15:46] he wants to apply a patch to his copy of mediawiki [01:15:47] what does he watn to do? [01:15:50] AH [01:16:19] feltipen, so you checked out a working copy using Tortise? Or haven't got that far yet? [01:16:43] i've only installed tortoise and tried to mess around with it a bit, but cant find a way to connect to the remote server [01:17:01] i didnt restart my comp since the install either, dunno if that would affect anything [01:17:08] I'll walk you through it - make a folder on your desktop called like MW SVN or something [01:17:13] thx tim [01:17:17] ok done [01:17:28] right-click on the folder [01:17:55] svn checkout... [01:18:11] then a window will pop up [01:18:15] right? [01:18:18] yep [01:19:04] http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/phase3 [01:19:17] in the repository URL [01:19:40] then click OK [01:19:43] and go get some coffee [01:20:22] heh [01:20:25] Is it checking stuff out? [01:20:29] d/ling [01:20:31] yup [01:20:45] then in the future, just right-click on your folder and click update [01:20:51] and it'll update to the most recent revision [01:21:35] i should do that often? [01:21:41] for sure [01:21:53] whenever you want to see the new files [01:22:14] i wonder how i would've figured this one out [01:22:16] on my own [01:22:33] ;-) by looking at the help files on mw.org. and getting confused a few times. [01:22:48] yeah i did look around here and there, but i guess i didnt land in the right places [01:22:53] man, you should see the headache involved in making tortise do the svn+ssh:// connect for commit. [01:23:02] heh [01:23:23] and some idiot (me) put a password in his private key. So I constantly have to auth. [01:23:39] you can remove the passphrase if you like [01:23:43] ya? [01:23:50] I thought it was part of the pair [01:23:59] no [01:24:02] cool [01:24:06] it just encrypts the key on disk [01:24:10] yay i helped you learn something (: [01:24:22] ya, I have the pk file [01:24:38] completed [01:24:39] the pk file is on multiple computers, etc, etc [01:26:04] right-click on your folder [01:26:12] TortiseSVN>Apply Patch [01:26:18] then choose the patch file [01:26:22] and you're good. [01:27:52] can i get a quick insite if the updated messed up the database [01:28:48] there are 'unresolved conflicts' [01:28:51] when i tried to 'patch all' [01:29:07] that's kind of a vague error [01:29:14] if you click on show log, does it explain? [01:31:55] seems to be unresolved conflict in two files, one is setup.php in includes/, give me a sec to screencap [01:32:28] Well, that is a mighty old patch file [01:33:21] http://www.lostocean.org/conflict.png [01:34:02] also in database.php, but the third file, defaultsettings.php seems alright [01:34:13] lol, one outta 3 [01:34:26] yea it just shows up grey and the others red [01:34:41] yeah, it's mad. [01:34:46] look at that patch file [01:34:57] see at the top it states the revision vs. working copy? [01:35:23] That patch was created on rev. 15780 - we're on 25572 now. [01:35:51] So the file has changed enough to make the patch impossible to apply anymore [01:36:01] you can go back to old revisions of files [01:36:25] hmm [01:36:31] http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/Setup.php?view=log [01:36:35] 10000 revisions since then [01:36:35] wow [01:36:53] Yeah, I don't know much about that extension [01:37:29] if it's like intended to run on a specific revision, you can just find the right revision, check it out (you can checkout a specific revision rather than the HEAD - which is the newest revision) [01:38:19] ;-) I gotta go, I'll be on tomorrow [01:38:49] good luck, have fun pokin around. You can't do any damage over http, so you can click whatever buttons you want and just see what happens. ;-) [01:39:19] hm [01:39:22] thanks again tim [01:39:33] anytime. [01:39:39] so i just upload the patched copy once it's done [01:39:52] well, you would like, checkout the right revision [01:40:02] yaryarr, hopefully i'll get to that point [01:40:04] (of the whole MW phase3 folder) [01:40:23] but yeah, once you get your patch to apply, you're golden. then your file is patched and you copy it to wherever [01:40:53] I'd advise checking out that core revision (that's listed in the patch) and then applying the patch - just so you can see how it's supposed to work [01:40:56] ;-) later. [01:41:05] cya [01:42:23] feltipen: i would not use that extension. [01:42:35] You end up with a TON of tables inside the db [01:44:03] you tried it already? [01:45:06] >.> [01:45:19] well i intend to have about 100-200 separate wikis in the same db [01:45:27] so i assume that'll be a whackload of tables [01:46:46] would you suggest your method otherwise [01:47:05] wiki 1.10.1 has 34 tables [01:47:16] 3400 tables for 100 wikis, good luck woring with that [01:47:24] in ONE db ... [01:47:50] Better idea would be to use seperate dbs [01:48:23] i can use separate dbs in one url right? [01:48:44] Depends on what you mena by that [01:48:52] i dont want to buy 100 urls [01:49:04] i think you mean domains, not urls [01:49:09] sorry [01:49:11] haha [01:49:15] doesnt matter [01:49:23] newbish [01:49:26] only thing that does matter is if your hosting allows that any dbs [01:49:33] oh right [01:51:33] i should contact dreamhost [01:51:42] which packeg you have from them ? [01:52:21] My Crazy Domain Insane [01:52:23] hmm well as it looks, they have unlimited databases for any of the 4 packages [01:52:50] good [01:53:46] i wonder if it'll bog the servers down and cause each wiki to be really slow [01:53:51] with so many tables in one db [01:53:55] So you are good there also unlimited "subdomains", god i wish they would stop using that term [01:54:36] Well, haveing lots of tables in one db usually makes not a large difference [01:55:06] What it does do, is make recovery, backup and general maintance easier [01:55:30] gtk [01:56:55] hm [01:57:02] so if you can, dont do the one DB thing, thats an accident waiting to happen :) [01:57:11] 03(mod) Some way to specify heading level for new sections - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9426 (10N/A) [01:57:44] especially if they're high traffic [01:57:47] i assume [01:59:00] but having multiple dbs poses a different problem for me [01:59:17] how to access them from an external web service through api [02:00:00] what you mean? [02:00:03] phpmyadmin? [02:00:17] facebook [02:00:20] app [02:01:15] to edit and create wikis [02:02:21] i guess it wont be that difficult as long as the app can access the subdirectory [02:02:57] (i wonder if 'subdirectory' is on your list of lousy terms) [02:05:33] now i just have to get this thing working [02:05:43] finding revisions [02:07:00] or if i want to make a db per wiki [02:07:38] whatever, i'll check that out through dreamhost myself [02:07:45] that'll take a while lol [02:07:51] manually one by one [02:09:19] subdirectory is a correct term :) [02:09:51] hi all, anyone here familiar Parser.php [02:09:55] You make a facebook app for creating wikis? [02:09:58] I am attempting to convert mediawiki to HTML [02:10:18] yeah it's made already, i just have to get the wiki up and running to complete the project [02:10:22] sour1: that is being heard here about once a day :) [02:10:50] sour1: there is no such thing as "include that file, call that function and it works". The parser is one big beast. [02:12:44] hahaha excellent, so i take it theres a wiki on it?? :P [02:12:44] sour1: sorry, there isnt. What is it exactly you want to do? Most things people want to do with this have other, better solutions :) [02:12:44] SimonMoon: the project i am working on would probably sound crazy, but i like large processing jobs... i am basically traslating one wiki from one language to another [02:12:47] last project that i done was DNS'ing 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 [02:13:02] does the update process change the database when you run update.php? [02:14:28] SimonMoon: I'm up to the point where I can retain all internal links from the langlinks database, and can convert it from one language to another, just need to display it nicely from mediawiki markup to HTML.. [02:15:56] Jasin: Yes [02:16:40] sour1: So, you want to take the wiki content, have it rendered as HTML and then translate that html ? [02:18:37] i updated from 1.4 to 1.10 ran the update and now i get MySQL returned error "1146: Table 'wikidb.text' doesn't exist (chimera)" [02:18:44] and it worked fine before that [02:19:00] SimonMoon, correct, I am just back tracking my way through again now, i think i may have it sussed. [02:19:13] Jasin: Do you have another way to check the db and see if there IS a text table? [02:19:29] not at this moment [02:19:40] but the wiki was up and running before the update [02:19:51] same localsettings as before [02:19:52] sour1: why not take the wiki text, trnslte that and stick it back into another wiki? [02:20:03] Jasin: That doesnt mean a thing :) [02:20:20] Jasin: is your database called "wikidb" ? [02:20:21] wouldn't it? isnt that what stores all the pages? [02:20:48] should be, (i didn't update it before this time) so i made no changes to mysql [02:21:18] simon I have my own smarty templates which I'd like to use [02:22:11] ok heres the thing, when i type in diffrent accounts etc, i get the website saying that the .text doesn't exist, if i put what was with the 1.4 i get a 500 internal error [02:22:23] Jasin: If your database is called "wikidb" then get phpmyadmin (php script) and connect yto that db with it, check if the table exists. [02:22:50] thanks ill check it out [02:23:24] sour1: You know that you can edit pretyt much the same stuff with the MW template ysstem, roght? It is essentally the php with HTML mixed in, so what you can do in smarty is possible in there, heck you oculd even put smarty inside of this with it. [02:24:16] Jasin: It looks like the table is gone, why i wouldnt know though. I hope you have a backup, like it alwyas says before an upgrade. This table contains actually all the text content for all the pages [02:24:36] yes we have a backup, just dont know how it disapeared [02:25:06] get phpmyadmin, check if the db really is gone or if it has been renmaed or something [02:25:23] Then put on the old backup again, run the update and see if it happens again [02:25:42] upping phpmyadmin now [02:26:21] SimonMoon, thanks for your help, i'll battle this Parser class a bit more before i decide to hack mediawiki [02:27:09] sour1: your best shot there is to essentially include the whole mediawiki for the parsing [02:27:48] and then maybe use output bufeering if you want to be lazy, or catch the output of the template before it happens [02:28:57] that's an idea, seems like alot of overhead tho [02:29:22] Well if i get your idea right, its not somethig you run all the time every day [02:29:49] So dpeends really on whats more important, fast a solution, or a fast solution :) [02:31:43] yeah but then i need to install all the dumps and do alot of farting around it seems :/ [02:34:38] oh i found a: class RawPage { [02:51:13] ok getting somewhere, i get returned an array from the parser object, it's just comlpetely empty tho.

[03:11:25] SimonMoon: i.e., what do you need insight on?

[04:11:59] Added EditPage::pseudoParseSectionAnchor function to mimic parsing for section headings. [04:11:59] Now preloaded section header text /* ... */ is also passed through the pseudoParseSectionAnchor function to correct section linking in recent changes. [04:11:59] Post-save Section anchors are also pseudoParsed. [04:12:03] This should take care of most of the section anchor issues related to embeded wikitext in section headings. [04:12:51] pseudoParseSectionAnchor? [04:12:57] *VoiceOfAll becomes scared by that name [04:13:03] I was pretty proud of it [04:13:20] but technically... that's what it does. ;-) [04:14:17] 03(FIXED) Change the summary on creating of new section - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10836 +comment (10t.laqua) [04:15:00] doh. left a comment in there. [04:15:05] *TimLaqua mutters. [04:15:22] yes, no comments are allowed in MW code [04:15:30] ;-) debug comment, silly. [04:16:20] 03tlaqua * r25574 10/trunk/phase3/includes/EditPage.php: (m) Removing debug comment. [04:17:12] wikitext in section headings... just silly. ;-) [04:17:30] *TimLaqua grins at Martinp23 [05:08:12] does anyone know, what encoding MW dumps are in? [05:09:11] err... exports [05:10:26] UTF-8 [05:10:53] Ahh, thank you! [05:48:02] So, I am writing a screenscraper to edit articles. And MW is not sending me any cookies as it should. Is this dependent on user-agent, or what? [05:49:21] I can't say for sure, but, I don't think so [06:02:26] brion_away? [06:10:07] <_wooz> lo [06:24:23] *sour1 cries [06:24:44] heh [06:28:24] i declare war against Parser.php [06:28:34] welcome to the club. [06:28:41] what're you trying to do, anyways? [06:28:49] can you do it by screen-scraping? [06:29:50] umm i could possibly do that, I like doing strange projects like DNS'ing 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255 [06:30:03] and yesterday i woke up and decided i wanted to translate the entire german wikipedia to english [06:30:31] i have everything setup, apart from mediawiki->HTML [06:30:44] ... mediawiki to html? [06:30:48] mediawiki already does that. [06:30:54] yeah i know that [06:31:02] i am using the parser class [06:31:15] but for some reason it isn't liking me [06:31:25] can you just insert your wikitext into an article, then do a web request and scrape it? [06:31:41] there's always api.php :) [06:32:01] yeah i could do that i guess, alot of overhead tho [06:32:10] *U_SQL shrugs [06:32:11] api.php? [06:32:18] mm, i can look into that [06:32:22] 03raymond * r25575 10/trunk/extensions/PdfHandler/ (8 files): [06:32:22] * Add function for page option ([[Image:nams.pdf|page=x]]) [06:32:22] * Naming convention [06:32:23] sour1: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php [06:32:31] i think i explored the api/ folder for a few things, figured it was complicated [06:33:00] that's what I use in my mw classes :) [06:33:20] it's not really that bad, depending on the language you're using [06:33:35] PHP !!!!! [06:33:41] hah, me too :) [06:33:42] 03raymond * r25576 10/trunk/extensions/PdfHandler/PdfHandler.i18n.php: re-adding nl-translation [06:36:29] U_SQL this looks promising. [06:37:17] actually you know what, it would make more sense for me to use this. [06:39:41] sour1: Heh, that's what I figured out, eventually, too :) [06:39:52] i can't seem to work out how to get the article contents tho [06:39:59] sec [06:40:12] as soon as I get a free console... [06:40:24] *U_SQL has 15 ssh sessions open, all busy... [06:40:28] thanks U_SQL [06:40:50] i am the same, i have 2 22inch widescreen monitors, each with atleast 10 putty's all over the place [06:42:06] here's how I do it: [06:42:08] http://mediawiki.pastey.net/73473 [06:42:36] it's pretty dirty, but, it works :) [06:42:52] haha cool [06:42:56] Serialized php, basically outputs it to an array() [06:43:06] yup i saw that, i like ! [06:43:11] heh [06:43:29] I'm hoping to get off my ass, and, start a sf.net project, for my framework... [06:46:01] sour1: hmm, revised to include config.php http://mediawiki.pastey.net/73474 [06:47:59] haha cool [06:48:05] thanks u_sql, you're a champion [06:49:08] notta problem :) [06:56:23] DOES anyone have any idea how to edit below the search box (edit the toolbox) generally using wikimedia software? [06:57:48] hello? [06:58:46] hype: Not something simple to do [06:58:59] hype: recall there was some discussion on the support desk [06:59:13] hype: check there. It will probably be on one of the archive pages. [06:59:24] ok thanks [06:59:42] hype: there was one recently, that doesn't have any help (which I proposed a stupid solution that doesn't work), but pretty sure there is one earlier [07:15:30]
