[00:00:54] how do I get rid of the index.php in http://host/index.php/Foo ? [00:19:07] Hello, how can I allow external linking of images? (say from commons) [00:19:13] Is there a variable to set in LocalSettings? [00:20:06] dibblego: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL [00:20:20] thanks [00:20:31] no prob [00:21:59] member:identifier:pathoschild: Thanks for fixing my template. [00:22:15] You're welcome. [00:22:49] dibblego: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL [00:23:00] ...oops. [00:23:17] Maquiavelo: You want to display an external image, or link to it? [00:23:33] an external image [00:23:49] from commons [00:25:09] Maquiavelo: yeah, you want to display it or link to it? [00:25:42] display it [00:26:05] put the URL on a line by itself [00:26:43] Can't I use short tags? [00:27:07] you mean like [[Image:Something.png]] ? [00:27:26] *Maquiavelo nods [00:27:33] nope [00:27:39] Maybe < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wiki_farm#Scenario_4:_Multiple_wikis_sharing_common_resources >? [00:28:07] Specifically < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wiki_farm#Use_shared_files >. [00:28:22] whoa cool [00:28:35] *alxndr sits corrected [00:28:47] It won't work [00:29:09] If you see, the mediawikis are sharing databases and server space [00:29:22] I, of course, cannot share that with Wikimedia Commons. [00:30:48] If that doesn't work, then no. It's not possible. [00:31:07] Figured, thanks anyways [00:33:05] How do I allow SVG uploads? I setup imagemagick and the wgSVGConverters variable in LocalSettings, but when I try to upload it says only png, gif, jpg and jpeg is allowed. [00:34:28] if I add $wgGroupPermissions['foo']['edit'] in LocalSettings.php, shouldn't I see a new group available (foo) in Special:Userrights? [00:36:46] Yes. [00:37:46] ah I do; my next question was, how do I add the user to that group? [00:38:07] I have two lists of Member of: and Available groups, but no way to change that [00:38:21] oh wait, nothing [00:38:49] to allow SVG uploads, change $wgFileExtensions = array( ) [00:39:04] anybody pretty decent with php? [00:39:16] MZMcBride, I did. [00:39:39] I have: [00:39:39] $wgSVGConverters = array( [00:39:40] 'ImageMagick' => '/usr/bin/convert -background white -geometry $width $input $output', [00:39:40] ); [00:39:52] oh [00:39:58] FileExtensions, my mistake. [00:40:27] MZMcBride, But that will allow anything to be uploaded. [00:40:43] i meant filling it in with appropriate extensions [00:40:51] e.g. : $wgFileExtensions = array( 'pdf', 'svg', 'tiff', 'tif', 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'ogg' ); [00:41:03] sorry for the confusion [00:41:32] ty [00:41:37] I'm having trouble with MediaWiki 1.6.8 and ConfirmEdit. Does anybody else here get a T_BOOLEAN_AND error when trying to use ConfirmEdit? [00:43:24] you should upgrade : - ) [00:43:32] *groans* [00:44:01] i know it works with 1.11, i installed it today [00:44:10] I can't use that branch, as I'm on PHP4 [00:45:19] I can update to 1.6.10, but that version was also reported to have the same problem. [00:45:33] May be my last option, though. [00:48:13] anybody on who knows php pretty well? [00:54:42] StE_gUy, you need to use a ConfirmEdit version that was designed to work with 1.6, if any exists. Trunk extensions are meant to work with trunk. [00:55:14] In particular, all trunk extensions can be assumed to require PHP 5 unless stated otherwise, or if they haven't been updated for ages. [00:55:55] Thanks Simetrical, I was beginning to pick up on that fact. [00:56:10] I'll do some digging, unless anybody happens to know specifically if such a thing exists? [00:56:44] StE_gUy, you can go back 18 months or so in SVN to get a revision of ConfirmEdit that'll probably work for you. [00:57:26] Awesome. I'll give that a shot. Thanks again, Simetrical.

[01:10:01] i added a note about php4 [01:10:12] haha that's what i'm worried about [01:10:23] that someone else will read something else that's wrong and the cycle continues [01:31:12] hi guys, i am new to mediawiki and i am trying to setup a wiki on a server , but i am stuck ... i got the wiki folder up on the server, but i don't know what to do next .. the mysql setup is were i am lost [01:31:20] any help is greatly appreciated [01:34:16] 03(WONTFIX) Allow null edits to fill in missing edit summaries - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1279 +comment (10cbrown1023) [01:34:36] any idea how to setup mysql for running mediawiki on a server?

[12:22:47] RichiH: LocalSettings.php [12:23:01] you need to assign the new group one or more permissions, using $wgGroupPermissions [12:26:36] FR^2: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/full-table.html [12:26:42] not really a MW issue [12:30:13] Duesentrieb: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/CategoryTree/ [12:30:19] ugh,a file for each lang? ;) [12:31:14] I have some problems with keeping my session alive.. Almost everytime I try to post something it tells me that it lost the session data.. Suggestions on how to fix that? [12:35:52] write the text in notepad or something then post it in the wiki when your done :) [12:36:19] I also think that Openoffice 2.3 kan export to wiki with formatting and stuff [12:39:44] Espen: That doesn't compute... I got the text, but when submitting I get the session error [12:40:00] "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in." [12:40:12] I've tried to logout and login again, without success [12:51:42] Werdna: so i just do $wgGroupPermissions['werdmasterflash']['pants'] and werdmasterflash automagically exists?

[12:54:35] seems to be the case [12:58:37] mboman: not really, havent looked into how the sessions work in mediawiki [13:03:27] RichiH: yes [13:13:32] 03kim * r25915 10/trunk/extensions/Wikidata/util/copy.php: Added already-there check for collection entries [13:13:58] hello there [13:14:28] VoiceOfAll: one file per language is easier to manage, loads faster, and wastes less memory. but before committing that, i asked brion - and he preferred it that way, too. at least at the time. [13:14:47] is there a way to make some sort of wiki syntax aliases? [13:14:58] Tuxbublin1: templates [13:15:07] VoiceOfAll: seems to be a very bad way to define new groups as a single typo will create a new group, leaving the original target group without a random right [13:15:20] Duesentrieb: nothing easier? [13:15:35] typos + code = always bad [13:15:57] Tuxbublin1: what's easier to create than templates? [13:16:09] Tuxbublin1: what do you *actually* want to do? [13:16:13] brion-office: alive? [13:16:14] Duesentrieb: So it only runs the needed file? [13:16:26] VoiceOfAll: yes [13:16:35] VoiceOfAll: well, the requested one, and the base language# [13:16:39] so fallback works. [13:16:55] I dont know if I explained me correctly on http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11367 [13:17:30] VoiceOfAll: well, yes, but if you define them in one place and give them permissions in another, the code is able to check on both [13:18:33] RichiH: define a constant, then [13:21:06] Duesentrieb: well actually that's quite nice like this [13:21:10] i mean with a template [13:21:12] :) [13:21:45] i tought of something like: you create a new syntax eg: (*) that write something for you [13:21:59] but actually the template system is enough thanks [13:21:59] :) [13:22:06] you can write extensions... [13:22:11] ;) [13:22:40] per default the syntax is xxx, or {{#foo:xxx}}. you can also write extensions that mange the text in other ways, but that's more complex.
