[00:08:18] <_Danny_B_> why is the result of #if rendered with newline at the beginning in this case: {{#if:{{{foo|}}}|#{{{foo}}}}} - i need it on the same line, since it is not
item, but anchor part of url
[00:14:15] Maybe {{{foo}}} contains a newline? I always thought we stripped those, but . . .
[00:16:45] _Danny_B_: For some reason, ParserFunctions will treat [*#:] at the beginning of the result as wiki list syntax.
[00:19:48] <_Danny_B_> that's stupid. newline can be simply added, but there's no way to remove it. this behavior should be corrected/removed
[00:20:25] bah. i knew about this for parser hooks... but i though parser functions are smarter.

[01:18:40] I wonder . . . is it possible to modify PHP error levels for certain types of errors somehow, so that you can persuade it to die on accessing an undefined variable, say?
[01:18:50] Or calling a non-static function statically.
[01:19:30] it's possible to define an error handling function for non-fatal errors

[01:20:11] Hmmmm.
[01:20:59] Of course, those of us who enable E_STRICT error reporting and display_errors get big messy messages at the top of our pages if someone does something like calling a non-static function statically.
[01:21:18] But that just helps with cleanup if the developer who wrote it didn't bother with that.

[08:17:05] it looks to be very easy to be added to this program. Just a few lines of programming
[08:17:34] However the mediawiki.org page might be outdated yet

[08:20:27] ew java
[08:23:21] I had a working mediawiki1.7 install about 3 days ago, then I added pdf exporter, and now for some reason my urls are being redirected from http://wiki.site.org to http://wiki.site.orghttp//wiki.site.org/index.php/Main_Page

[08:24:59] "The current version works with recent versions of MediaWiki, with a few tweaks it works with 1.6.7 and newer as well."
[08:25:35] Requires MediaWiki 1.9, AFAICT.
[08:25:54] would export to pdf be causing that issue though?
[08:31:14] is the upgrade path from 1.7 to 1.10/1.11 relatively easy?

[11:10:17] heh, I used to use a 14" laptop
[11:10:30] stepping up to dual 22" widescreen is heaven.
[11:10:39] my laptop does 1600x1200 too, at 15" ;-)
[11:10:58] heh, 14" on my laptop is 1400x1050, I think.
[11:11:18] 1280x1024 is teh $hit
[11:11:32] games can run on it with max graphics :D
[11:11:43] i'm thinking about a widescreen lcd, seems like a reasonable compromise between 4:3 and dual-head

[11:13:56] JeLuF: doing a good job on the bug-closing, hmm?
[11:15:27] I'm tempted to just close all of them and work only on those that get re-opened...
[11:15:45] JeLuF: sounds like a US medical insurance company. deny all by default :)
[11:16:16] ;-)
