[00:45:44] I have literally read every help page about "short urls" and "very short urls" and I am still getting a 404. could anyone help me out with figuring out a .htaccess configuration? [00:49:05] I have a subdomain and a subdirectory. I'm not sure how the subdomain is configured. Anyone able to help? [00:51:01] eyeRmonkey: short URLs are probably the single most frustrating configuration task in MediaWiki, short of hacking the code. What works is often different for every server. [00:51:19] Pathoschild: agreed. ;) [00:51:47] The best advice I can give is to learn the syntax, so you fully understand the .htaccess code. Then you can experiment to get it working properly. (Or, get someone who does understand to fix it for you.) [00:51:54] Pathoschild: It's basically the only custom configuration I ever want to make when I install mediawiki, and it's always a pain. It different every time I try it. [00:52:47] All the more reason to learn the syntax thoroughly if you do it often. :) [00:52:55] Indeed.. [00:55:27] it's odd.

It will prompt you to save an XML file, which contains the contents of the template pages (and, optionally, their page histories) [03:51:22] You can then import those into your wiki via Special:Import [03:51:24] For example, I've tried putting Template:Disambig in the add field, and nothng gets added. I put Special:Export/Template:Disambig and nothing gets added.

[03:53:13] amidaniel, thank you very much for the info, i'll look into that. [03:54:06] np [03:54:25] amidaniel: I'm at that page, nothing happens wheh I try to put a template name in the Add box and add it. [03:55:07] RevChas: That's for adding templates to the list from a category. Just type the template names into the big textbox, each name on a new line [03:58:00] I went to the "Most linked to templates" special page, and it lists a page with the title Template:Disambig, typing Template:Disambig inot the add field and push the Add button next to the Add field, and the page resets. Nothing visibly happens. [03:58:34] Don't put it in the add field ... [03:58:39] Put it in the big box [03:58:49] And then hit "Export" [04:02:58] OK, that gives me an XML file. Can I just import that into my wiki? [04:03:18] Yes. Navigate to Special:Import on your wiki and select the XML file. [04:03:45] !import [04:03:45] To import pages into your wiki, export the pages to import from the source wiki using Special:Export (see !export). Then, navigate to Special:Import on the target wiki and select the dump file you downloaded from the source wiki. Alternatively, you can import pages directly from one wiki to your wiki by specifying an interwiki import source. See !importsources for more [04:07:06] Cool. Now I get to try this with a bunch of pages. [04:16:10] Hi [04:17:55] How often is it okay to scrape the two wikipedia pages to create ? So far i’ve just ran the update script manually every once in a while, but i’d like to find a way to automate it without causing unnecessary stress to the wikipedia servers. The script uses wget -N, so it doesn’t fetch the pages if they haven’t changed since the last time. [04:26:56] How often will it update? [04:27:02] Rather, how often is ideal? [04:27:14] The real pain in the ass is that this is that I have to keep looking at the templates and see what they depend on , and so on, and so on. Is there any way to get all the damned dependencies as well as a single template page? [04:29:26] Just putting Template: in the export doesn't pull over all the templates. [04:29:59] RevChas: Go to [[Special:Expandtemplates]] for the page you want and thatll show the source with all dependencies evaluated. But things like conditional logic and parameteres will be lost. [04:30:00] Well, new episodes or comics only come once a week, but i can’t predict when people add info about them to the wiki pages. If the update script ran once an hour (i.e. wget -N two wikipedia pages an hour), the page should remain fresh enough, but it’s not absolutely necessary to do that even that often. [04:30:29] add or fix info, that is. [04:30:33] I see no problem with once an hour. There are many bots that load about three pages a second, so yours should be fine. [04:30:41] Ok, thanks [04:34:46] Anyone know the function to see if a user has a certain right? [04:35:27] what about uncertain rights [04:36:26] Do you happen to know? [04:36:34] TheFearow: i did yesterday [04:36:37] but i've since forgotten [04:36:52] Thats helpful :) [04:37:23] i do try [04:38:41] DARK AND METRIC [04:46:20] *TheFearow found it [04:46:31] Hey amidaniel [04:46:45] Perfect timing, you come back right after I solve the problem I wanted to ask you about :) [04:47:53] Oh? :) [04:51:00] I'm almost done my first proper extension :) I'm past the most annoying and hard bit [05:05:12] TheFearow: Is there something else I need, because looking at a page where I try to include the {{otheruses}} dismabiguation stuf just litters the top of my article with what looks like a ton of template source code. [05:05:51] Weird, no idea [05:08:20] This is why I have the stupid, silly idea of being able to download a tarfile or some such that has a collection of related templates, along with *everything* they require. Now, I have a boatload of essentially useless templates. Fantastic. [05:09:53] !simpleurl [05:09:53] To create simple URLs (such as the /wiki/PAGENAME style URLs on Wikimedia sites), follow the instructions at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL. There are instructions for most different webserver setups. [05:13:31] hi there, i was wondering if there are any extensions out there that would allow me to search through the sites pages/namespace using ajax? [05:14:12] I think its built in by default. [05:14:34] Let me find the setting for you, one second. [05:14:38] i want the same as/ or similar to the one they have here: http://www.milliondollarwiki.com/MillionDollarWiki:Purchase [05:14:58] i have ajax already set to true but tats not working. [05:15:43] Theres another setting, im looking it up now [05:15:51] Thanks bunch. [05:17:25] You need $wgUseAjax set to true, then also set $wgAjaxSearch = false; [05:17:28] I mean [05:17:30] $wgAjaxSearch = true; [05:17:52] so both settings must be true? [05:17:55] Yeah [05:18:03] I'll try. [05:19:41] You can find what extensions are in use by going to Special:Version on a wiki. If it doesnt appear to be an extension on there, it can usually be found in the file includes/DefaultSettings.php in your installation. Its the defaults for all the settings. (but copy them to LocalSettings before changing) [05:19:56] Oh yah it works [05:19:57] lol [05:20:34] thanks TheFearow [05:21:20] Anytime! [05:22:03] one more. (if you can ) lol [05:22:45] whats the best extension to allow people to use html without enabling rawhtml in localsettings? [05:23:07] What type of HTML? [05:23:31] The problem is, its so easy to abuse HTMl tags unless they are properly filtered, and they have only made the flitering for the main ones. [05:23:38] Rather, what specific tags? [05:24:23] want registered users to be able to include js and the most commonly used html tags. [05:24:42] Can anyone register? [05:24:43] im pretty much open for suggestions but would like it to be secure as well. [05:24:50] And most of the commonly used html tags are available [05:24:54] nope. only admins can register a user. [05:26:00] In that case, you could give users the "editinterface" right by using $wgGroupPermissions['user']['editinterface'] = true; but thats insecure, as it allows any user to add any javascript or css for any user. If you trust your users, then they will be able to edit MediaWiki:Common.js on the wiki to include javascript. [05:26:14] i guess if registration is not opened to public (meaning, wiki is properly filtered) enabling rawhtml in localsettings would prolly do the job right? [05:26:20] Yeah [05:26:29] As long as you trust your users, and force them to use secure passwords. [05:26:33] TheFearow: or... turn off $wgSiteJs and $wgSiteCss [05:26:50] Werdna: But the entire point is for users to be able to include javascript into pages. [05:27:31] If you only give accounts to trusted people, allowing raw HTML seems like an OK idea [05:27:50] there's an addhtml tag [05:29:01] i think for now, i'll stick with rawhtml in local. [05:29:04] thanks.

[06:44:52] marvxxx: What is the difference between the time mw shows and the time you expect? If it's off by, say, 2 hours, then you likely need to change the timezone [06:45:52] amidaniel: in the wiki or on the system? [06:46:00] the wiki [06:46:44] $wgLocaltimezone? [06:47:16] Sounds like it [06:49:48] i dont understand it...it says you just need it when the server time is different to the time you want to display..but the server time is allright [06:49:49] Indeed [06:50:26] I believe local timezone defaults to UTC [06:50:39] If you're servers not set up for UTC, it may not produce the correct time [06:51:23] Its meaning of server time is the time in mediawiki. Not the time on your server. Its confusing. [06:52:54] but somewhere it has to get the time or? [06:53:03] my linux configuration tells me its UTC [06:58:25] Its getting the time off your system and adjusting it to suit UTC. Just change the local time zone in the config.

[08:45:12] np [08:48:25] one more question. technically its possible to allow users to only edit his/her own page, by protecting that page, creating a group for that specic user, then by assigning the "edit" only to that group..right? [08:48:37] you COULD do that [08:48:48] or is there easier solution? [08:48:58] or you could put it as User:XXX/*.js and have them edit that [08:49:02] for example, i have 1000 users...that means i only have to create 1000 groups [08:49:29] I'm working on a prototype system that would solve that problem much more elegantly [08:49:55] what application are you thinking of? [08:50:30] dont have anything in mind...bout you? [08:50:43] ah, ok [08:51:26] i guess for now, i'll create group for each user then have them edit their own page. [08:55:41] ok im outtie. 1.55am pst here. goodnight and thanks again for your help Werdna and TheFearow. [08:56:07] night. [09:07:23] re [09:40:54] hi what license are the graphics shipped with mediawiki? and can they be freely redistributed? [10:30:58] Hi, I just did a boo-boo with the web installer: on a whim, I called the administrator (WikiSysop) "byte". A reserved word in... anything. Also in MySQL. There was no handling of that. [10:31:06] And, now I stand without an admin user. [10:31:09] 03rfrisar * r26532 10/branches/ApiEdit_Vodafone/includes/api/ApiTalk.php: Merged from the trunk till revision 26222 [10:31:43] I am setting up a very internal, local wiki, so "everyone's an admin" would work well for us. [10:31:57] 03abernala * r26533 10/branches/ApiEdit_Vodafone/includes/ (SpecialUpload.php api/ApiUploadFile.php): Changes in Trunk version updated and missing argument corrected in internalProcessUpload call in ApiUploadFile. [10:32:51] olleolleolle: you have access to the user table in MySQL, do you? you can set permissions there [10:33:27] BrokenArrow: OK, so I create the new wikiSysop user, and then just "manually add perms" to her? [10:34:23] for a start, that should work. if you want all users having admin rights, you are probably better off changinh the default permissions in the config file [10:34:41] BrokenArrow: Thanks, I was just looking at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings [10:35:33] (And, 120 seconds from me typing a question to being helped, that is great.) [10:36:49] enjoy :) [10:41:10] how do I switch off my media wiki site. It has so much spam. I need to lock it down so I can remove it. [10:49:34] lock it down as in "allow write access to registered users only, "to admins only" or "disable entirely database writes though the app and I'll deal with it by SQL"?

I was a bit confounded that the user_groups was empty, too.

[11:11:11] can anyone tell me how to turn off my wiki. There doesn't seem to be a true / false on off switch anywhere.

Is there a way of making just myself be able to edit it? [11:14:42] BrokenArrow - or is there even some kind of list of all the settings that I can use? [11:16:32] Now setting up with mod_auth_kerb, on the Debian-packaged version 1.7 of MediaWiki. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Otheus/Auto_Login_via_REMOTE_USER/code seems to be code appropriate for v1.5 of MediaWiki, and the other code was for 1.9. [11:16:38] ibob63_: check out includes/DefaultSettings.php in your install, and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings_%28alphabetical%29 online [11:16:46] What is a poor boy to do?

[11:19:06] rather old, OK, like in "ye useless ole crappe" [11:19:44] Has the schema evolved a lot since 1.7? [11:19:46] BrokenArrow: Thanks for the link. [11:21:09] (No matter, I found the http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading_to_1.11 page -- I am helped.

I got problem with importDump.php - It hangs. What can i do about that pls? [11:40:23] would it be sufficient to copy a few tables from the old DB to the new one, ie page, text, archive? [11:40:33] i just need the current version. [11:57:53] 03mkroetzsch * r26543 10/trunk/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/SMW_refreshData.php: avoid LinkCache memleak [11:58:08] sckmartin@ozma:~$ screen -DR [11:58:11] oops [12:00:04] 03(mod) Upgrading from 1.2 to 1.11 fails with Mysql error - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11451 (10caluml) [12:12:14] 03mkroetzsch * r26544 10/trunk/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/specials/ExportRDF/SMW_SpecialExportRDF.php: fixed typo [12:19:46] I'm trying to figure out why on my mediawiki install, the CSS files are returned with headers saying must-revalidate ("private, must-revalidate, max-age=0"). They have a style-version-number in the file name, so it seems logical they should be cacheable forever. [12:20:29] On mediawiki.org it looks like they are cached, but there's a squid between me and the server, so I'm not sure. [12:23:27] Is there some way I can easily see all registred users? [12:23:43] Special:Listusers [12:32:08] 03aaron * r26545 10/trunk/extensions/ConfirmAccount/ (ConfirmAccount.i18n.php ConfirmAccount_body.php): *Clean up messages [12:37:57] 03aaron * r26546 10/trunk/extensions/ConfirmAccount/ConfirmAccount_body.php: Add http:// if needed [12:40:27] How do I upgrade from mediawikie1.5 to mediawiki1.7 (i'm using debian-stable packages) [12:40:36] ugh [12:40:51] don't update to 1.7, it's old; update to 1.11 [12:41:52] mario, mediawiki 1.5 uses php4 [12:42:18] for mediawikis after 1.6 you should use php5 [12:43:03] hey everybody - where would i need to place the mediawiki files in my servers dir? [12:44:08] elementz, in any dir you wish in your www or public_html [12:45:14] Soroush81, thx - so any subfolder would be ok? since mediawiki claims that it can't find any php installl... [12:46:12] and the url will contain that directory for sure. Just don't change dir of your mediawiki after installation or change localsettings.php [12:46:52] go to config dir [12:47:12] and there is a php file there I think install.php [12:47:25] or index.php [12:47:26] use it [12:47:34] Soroush81, thx [12:48:26] elementz, you're welcome [12:51:08] Soroush81, man, were still stuck here - is there an example config file somewhere. [12:51:30] ... so we can tell, where to change dir values, and db login & pass [12:51:41] ? [12:52:04] همنت [12:52:07] no [12:52:20] lol huh? [12:52:26] the file in [12:52:34] config/ [12:52:44] makes a localsettings.php [12:52:45] yep? what about that one? [12:52:57] for you just copy it to [12:53:13] main dir were you copied the files [12:53:25] and open and then edit it [12:53:53] you'll see everything there. You can change them [12:54:11] Really, it looks like MediaWiki (including wikipedia) just has broken HTTP Cache Control. It allows clients to cache images properly, but not css or js. Where is the right place to raise this kind of issue? [12:55:04] you mean, we need to edit the following file: http://wiki.roberlin.de/wk/config/index.php ? [12:55:56] no no [12:56:10] sandro: bugzilla.wikimedia.org but do a search beforehand [12:56:12] run it in your browser [12:56:27] it gives you a localsettings.php [12:56:38]
