[01:29:20] hi there. can I actually take influence on the search results page of wiki? because when i search something I also get parts of the source code shown which is not very halpful... [01:29:32] helpful [01:29:41] (Semantic Wiki is installed) [01:30:20] Parts of the source code? [01:30:47] yes, hold on I'll paste it...(hopefully IRC won't kick me out) [01:31:18] # Abbot, Daniel (1,001 bytes) [01:31:18] 23: |class="grey"|'''Name:'''||'''[[Vessel:=Cutter Pickwick]]''' [01:31:18] 29: ...ee also:'''||'''[[Vessel:=Cutter Pickwick]]''' [01:31:18] 34: Cutter belonged to Captain J. Guard
[01:31:53] and the search (URL) was: [01:31:53] Special:Search?search=Cutter+Pickwick&go=Go [01:32:10] Oh, that. [01:32:18] It doesn't parse the search output, no. It's raw text. [01:33:04] ok...what can i do about it? I don't need it to be parsed maybe but at leastr don't display the code around it [01:33:22] Dunno. [01:33:58] hmm...wikipedia doesn't do it... [01:35:54] I believe Lucene search does some formatting to the search results [01:36:09] YOu certainly do have searches on Wikipedia that return wikicode in the descriptions, though [01:36:45] hm didn't found them yet... [01:38:08] Hmm .. actually the wikicode does seem to be trimmed out of all the descriptions. Didn't used to be [01:39:26] that would be great... [01:40:10] Well, try out Lucene search then. I presume that's what's formatting the descriptions [01:40:19] Hi -- I am using skin cavendish and I get the error: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/math/skins/Cavendish.php on line 116 on 1.11.0 [01:40:24] any ideas? [01:40:38] is lucene just an extension? [01:40:58] any help would be greatly apprecaited. [01:41:19] SteveO_: Yeah, but it's a bitch to set up [01:41:45] SteveO_, it relies on the Lucene thingy, which is Java. So you need Java support. [01:42:03] Crito, the skin is broken, ask whoever wrote it. [01:43:48] Oh -- it's the skin on wiki.mozilla.org [01:44:32] Might not be compatible with a different version of MW, or something. [01:44:41] Regardless, you'd be best asking those who wrote/use it. [01:44:59] OK [01:45:00] thanks [01:47:28] then I rather not set it up. everything runs smooth finally with all extension...don't want to mess it up :-/ [01:49:33] Hi ! [01:56:59] umm, hello, everyone [01:57:37] this is my first time coming around these areas of teh intarwebs, so I'll be quick, so I don't bother too much [01:57:54] is there any way to enable PHP includes on the latest version of MediaWiki? [01:58:18] As opposed to what? [01:59:00] as opposed to nothing; I'm just using a wiki as the main content engine for a site, and wanted to use a small PHP include to pull threads as news from my InvisionBoard [01:59:34] I found an InvisionBoard plugin that allows me to pull up to five threads and display them as newsposts on a page, so I was wondering how to do that in the main page of my wiki [01:59:36] D-Zero: You want to embed PHP in the actual page content of the wiki? [01:59:42] basically, yeah [02:00:13] That's not supported by default, for fairly obvious security reasons. You can undoubtedly find an extension that allows something like that. [02:00:19] the main page (and only the main page) would have a sentence [02:00:29] aw shucks [02:00:42] I was suspecting something around those lines [02:00:42] D-Zero: You might consider writing a small extension to imbed your script [02:00:46] !extensions | D-Zero [02:00:46] D-Zero: MediaWiki has been built so it can easily be customized by adding extensions. This is usually a simple process. See for details on writing an extension and for an overview of known extensions. [02:01:56] If the wiki's only going to be editable by you, then I suppose you could enable php includes inside of page content. But if anyone else will have any access whatsoever to editing, then I would strongly advise against it. [02:02:15] ok I better go back to this channel...AmiDaniel, maybe you also know if there's somthing what I can do this with: [02:02:16] Registered Users can edit a page but the admin has to give his ok. or maybe the user registration at least has to be approved by the admin before the account is active... [02:02:31] well, the wiki's currently being managed by a single admin, and several editors, who only have editing rights to the artic [02:02:35] articles* [02:02:44] !access | SteveO_ [02:02:44] SteveO_ : For information on preventing access to your wiki, please see . [02:02:44] but only the admin has direct server access through ftp and cpanel [02:03:18] D-Zero: Then I would recommend doing what you need through a simple extension, rather than enabling php includes. [02:03:20] we've disabled registration at our wiki, so only the approved staff members (read: the admin and the editors) can alter content [02:03:44] hmm... I'll look into it [02:03:45] Well, in that case, maybe :D [02:03:58] It's your call, just be sure that you're aware of the security risks. [02:04:05] trust me, I am [02:04:13] but I'll look into the extension thing [02:04:27] then again, I don't think it's that hard to write an extension... is it? >_> [02:05:36] Shouldn't be .. takes a little getting used to the screwiness of how hooks work on mediawiki though [02:05:45] lol [02:06:01] hi -- how do I disable new sign ups? on 1.11.0? [02:06:13] !access | Crito [02:06:13] Crito: For information on preventing access to your wiki, please see . [02:06:41] thanks AmiDaniel_away [02:06:44] np [02:06:57] in any case, I'm gonna look into writing an extension, but should the need arise for it, could you please tell me anyways how to enable php execution? [02:07:23] you never know when it might prove useful... even if it's a little risky [02:07:30] besides, what's life without a little risk? =p [02:07:30] yeah, lemme peek .. I beleive there's an extension for it [02:09:10] Hmm .. can't find it [02:09:35] yeah, I was looking and couldn't find anything either [02:09:50] could be pretty easily modified to support it [02:10:02] thank ami, one more question though ;-) [02:10:03] can an admin subscribe to all page changes and be notified by email? [02:10:13] in that case, is it possible to do the opposite thing? (read: the wiki page to work as an include in a normal php file) [02:10:47] D-Zero: Haha .. now you're stretching it :) Not easily [02:11:20] SteveO_: Look at the RSS feeds. That's probably the easiest way to subscribe to changes [02:11:34] ;_; DZ is a sad panda [02:11:45] but thanks anyway =) [02:12:32] I'll look into the extension you gave me, AmiDaniel, and see if I can alter it to work for my purposes... and if I can't, I'll be sure to come back here crying like a little kid and asking for help =p [02:12:48] D-Zero: Well, actually if you really want to. I suppose you could do [02:13:01] i.e., using action=raw [02:14:13] nah, I have absolute uri includes disabled in cPanel =p [02:14:55] I checked the script thingy extension, and it doesn't look too hard to edit... I'll give it a shot and try it out. :) Thanks for the help! :D [02:15:33] Yeah, no problem [02:15:33] Has anyone had experience witht he DPL extension? My head is spinning [02:15:48] thanks for all the help guys. [02:15:57] have a good night/day. [02:18:37] well, now's the time for me to take my leave, so I shall use a random Shakespeare quote: "Caesar, now be still, I kill'd not thee with half so good a will" [02:18:45] farewell, and have a good day/night [03:05:31] dude i'm freaking out with the upload configuration [03:05:38] i need some help [03:10:21] what's your issue?

[03:25:53] aliljet, why? [03:26:32] honestly? my boss is an idiot and he's forcing me to make shit look like everything else. [03:26:39] i guess he's not an idiot, per se. [03:27:05] but he's missing the point that it doesn't have to look like some other completely ridiculous website to be completely and totally functional in a way that works.

[04:22:13] NotACow: I'm guessing it died talking to the mysql dso [04:22:29] since a query update.php expected to succeed died immediately before the segfault [04:22:51] I wonder if it's going to require php4 [04:23:01] jfc it's never easy [04:23:03] sayotte: quite possibly. 1.5 wasn't exactly out then [04:23:25] *NotACow has a pair of mediawiki installations running 1.4 something-or-another [04:23:35] i really should upgrade them, but i'm not entirely sure how :) [04:24:18] I'm documenting my process on the corporate twiki, I'll put my notes in a public place when I'm done though [04:24:21] it's been fairly hairy [04:24:45] like, latin1 support was dropped in mediawiki-1.5 [04:24:55] which meant that I couldn't use the mysql bundled with solaris10 [04:25:04] because it doesn't have utf8 support compiled in at all [04:25:27] which meant I had to rebuild php to point to the new mysql .. no real big deal there I guess, once you know it's necessary [04:26:36] i'm going to have to upgrade these before i can swing them over to myrtle, which i plan to do eventually [04:26:54] the problem is that myrtle is based on the 1.12 codebase and, more importantly, schema [04:27:31] the hateful part of this for me is that this wiki is only going to be used in a very short term fashion... it's a layover from a company who's IP we just bought and are assimilating into our own stuff [04:27:47] so it will all quickly become outdated/obsolete and there will be no need for this [04:28:51] ah [04:32:29] hee [04:32:39] i just misread "ApiOpenSearch" as "ApiOpenSeason" [04:33:00] damn, another segfault [04:43:28] Anyone have an idea about my question above? [04:43:34] --> Can someone tell me what components/filters/plugins/bleh I need to remove these underlined items? http://code.gnu-designs.com/enwiki_ss_10-14-2007.jpg [05:00:53] hmm ... maybe I'm in business, update.php running under php-4.4.7 right now [05:01:00] it completed! [05:01:16] it's working! [05:01:44] ok I am now up to 1.5rc4 [05:03:41] hum ... still getting that failed SQL query in update.php for 1.6.10 [05:04:38] Whats the SQL error? [05:04:52] Specified key was too long; max key length is 1024 bytes (localhost) [05:05:04] on "Creating job table..." [05:05:46] and though the 1.5 update script didn't complain about it, I am getting page errors about the wikidb.job table not existing [05:06:18] verifying now that it didn't exist in the 1.4b6 install, if it did then it's my fault from the dump/import [05:06:34] Ahh, open up update.php and find where it creates the job table, and tell me the SQL it uses. I think I know the problem [05:06:50] nope, didn't exist then [05:06:51] ok [05:06:54] What version of MySQL are you using? [05:07:30] 4.1.22 [05:08:25] hmmm [05:08:44] well the string "job" doesn't exist in update.php but I found a CREATE TABLE line in tables.php [05:08:52] CREATE TABLE job , that is [05:09:29] http://rafb.net/p/TFZn3W29.html [05:10:34] full error here: http://rafb.net/p/8KakCm51.html [05:14:13] That looks like it [05:15:52] That makes no sense - try posting in #mysql or #sql [05:16:42] googling first [05:16:46] http://blog.emit.name/2006/06/29/mediawiki-upgrade-to-167-error/ [05:16:52] looks like I'm not the first to see it [05:17:47] Try upgrading MySQL, might be a bug in MySQL [05:18:14] this is a rather recent version of 4 [05:18:15] Ahh yes it is. [05:18:22] but yeah it is a mysql limitation [05:18:23] In that case, do what that blogger did :) [05:20:37] seems to have worked [05:21:28] Great :) [05:30:28] yeah seriously, I can go to bed now [05:31:12] not even going to bother getting the thing upgraded all the way to 1.11, though it irks me a little to leave it running in that state [05:31:23] at least I can in good conscience label it "working" though [05:31:45] well, it is much easier to upgrade straight to 1.11 [05:31:51] instead of by increments [05:31:55] and I know there is a reasonable upgrade path from 1.6 to 1.11 if I'm told it won't be being retired entirely in the foreseeable future [05:32:36] I forget what the trouble was when I tried to .... [05:32:38] ahh you know [05:32:46] it was the latin1 -> utf8 conversion [05:32:51] which I had to do for 1.5 anyway [05:32:55] hum [05:33:19] well again, whatever, I wake up again in 6 hours I think it's that time [05:45:08] Is it possible to [[Special:Import|import]] and [[Special:Export|export]] images, or just articles? [06:03:45] Cobi: just articles [06:04:05] Ahh. [06:23:35] what happened that made the browser prompts me to save index.php while editing?

[09:07:40] hi, i'm not exactly sure what i'm looking for, but i would like to have some kind of templates (not exactly what mediawiki calls templates anyways...) for pages so that users could open those and then have predefined headings for example already in place [09:08:08] could anybody point me in some direction? :) [09:08:48] They are called templates in mediawiki and are addressed like Template:TemplateName [09:09:03] probably best just to read up on the mediawiki manual [09:09:49] you can edit Template:Whatever and the call it into any page by using {{Whatever}} [09:09:59] well... [09:10:10] templates in mediawiki are stuff you can include on pages. [09:10:23] the are not predefines layouts or structures for entire pages [09:10:35] they can be used for that, but it's not so pretty [09:10:43] Duesentrieb, 'predefined layouts' are more like what i'm looking for [09:10:54] but that doesn't exist. it really can't. [09:11:07] how would you expect that to work with the wiki way of editing pages? [09:11:09] Yeah, you can setup a template with html/css and give it arguements that users can use [09:11:19] that type of thing only works if you restrict user input to "fields" [09:11:23] Duesentrieb, not really sure, haven't thought about it much yet ;) [09:11:37] yeah [09:11:55] I guess I might make an 'example page' and then ask the users to copy the source of that page when they make new ones [09:12:04] dfp: the max you can do is making the page content look something like this: {{user page|name=Foo|city=somewhere}} [09:12:22] Well you can do what you want with templates if you want to research it [09:12:34] yes, copy&paste may work. there are also extensions that let you create pages pre-filled with some boilerplate-content [09:12:58] Duesentrieb, yup, I've tried to read up on mediawiki templates, it's just the fact that I don't want the users to have to know/remember the variables they should fill out [09:13:08] xigxag: yes, but it ain't pretty - the template code gets fairly complex if you have conditional parts, and the use of the template isn't too nice either. [09:13:25] uga [09:13:39] dfp: well, you can provide default values for those variables. the default for name could be "please set the name parameter!" [09:13:42] Yeah, but if you can code it all up, then the user would have a very simple task [09:13:44] moin Nikerabbit [09:13:59] xigxag: if you don't want the user to edit things... [09:14:16] hi presroi [09:14:20] Duesentrieb, do you remember any extension names or keywords to look for? [09:14:35] nope, sorry. [09:14:41] ok, np [09:14:55] search the matrix :) [09:14:57] *Werdna tickles Duesentrieb [09:15:05] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Creating_pages_with_preloaded_text [09:15:27] duesentrieb: where are code about irc bot for recent changes? [09:15:32] err actually that isn't what you are looking for [09:15:52] xigxag, hmm, sounds like it though [09:15:57] dfp: there's "Add Button", "Create Article"... and probably some more. [09:16:32] asmarin: it's defined in RecentChange.php i think. it sucks and needs to be rewritten [09:17:36] xigxag, actually that seems like it's exactly what I'm lookin for [09:18:58] hm, i didn't know that page. nice [09:19:05] anyone know an existing template to create an important looking box that stands out? [09:19:11] Hiho [09:19:20] !boilerplate is http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Creating_pages_with_preloaded_text [09:19:20] Successfully added keyword: boilerplate [09:19:21] something red with an exclamation icon or something [09:19:54] enwp has a nice new set of box templates i think [09:20:17] mw.org has a warning or notice template, which is less boxy, mor for inline use [09:20:34] what is enwp? [09:21:37] "english wikipedia" [09:21:46] ah [09:21:49] "en.wikipedia.org" [09:22:11] I can't figure out if there is a page that lists them all on enwp [09:26:09] Ok im looking in Category:Protected Templates [09:26:21] Hmm. Sorry to ask such a basic question, but isn't there a way to set mediawiki into a state like "site down for maintenance"? I can't find it, and I'll have to deal with database issues (table objectcache is full). [09:30:46] $wgReadOnly='site under maintenance'; on localsettings [09:31:37] AH, thanks a lot [09:36:28] Hello Everybody [09:36:57] Is it possible set TOC collapsed by default? [09:39:24] It is, although I do not remember where I saw it [09:40:01] xigxag: can you try to remember it?? [09:40:28] xigxag: also how to show warning, notice etc? [09:41:16] what do you mean? [09:41:39] Hi. How do I disable account creation, and to leave just sysop/admin to create new accounts? I have added this to LocalSettings.php: $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; but I still can create user account [09:42:09] xigxag: I saw in a wiki, red box for warning, yellow box for alert etc, how to show them? [09:42:45] For the TOC you need to edit the CSS [09:42:52] Edit the CSS files; locate the style for the table of contents and add display: none; to the definition. [09:43:09] xigxag: ohh [09:43:41] raddy, xigxag: editing css files is a BAD idea. edit the css *pages* instead. [09:43:48] files will be overwritten with the next upgrade. [09:44:03] oh, well I suppose I won't be updating any time soon lol [09:44:12] Duesentrieb: yup, i am interested in doing so, [09:44:15] well it's css files for a skin [09:44:30] xigxag: nope. [09:44:44] hm? [09:44:47] raddy: edit MediaWiki:common.css (for all skins) or MediaWiki:whateverskin.css for whatever skin [09:44:49] Duesentrieb: can you let me know how to display warning, alert etc in a page [09:45:03] xigxag: there is no reason to edit css files, unless you write your own skin from scratch. [09:45:14] raddy: make a template? [09:45:24] raddy: simple example: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Warning [09:45:26] yeah, I've been doing it because I've been altering a skin to fit my needs [09:45:27] Hey sportsfans, is there a function in the PHP code to escape wiki text? I'm displaying the error “$1” cannot be used as a page name, but if the pagename contains [[ ]], users see “Test” cannot be used as a page name -- the [[ ]] turn into a wiki link, so the error makes no sense to users. [09:45:56] raddy: different example: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Page_security_extension_disclaimer [09:45:59] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Character_Escapes says "... we have to use escapes to prevent markup being parsed prematurely. MediaWiki does not have built-in mechanic for this". [09:46:21] xigxag: did you copy it to a new name first? have you changed anything but css? [09:46:38] hi all [09:46:56] I still have the orignal css from the skins, but yeah there are 4 css files in the skin [09:47:05] Duesentrieb: so isn't there special syntax for displaying Note, Warning etc? [09:47:11] can some one tell me, where there is any pluging available for getting a toolbar like the one in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Table [09:47:15] to my wiki site ? [09:47:32] its having simple featuers for adding a table etc [09:47:34] check out the skin authors site - pretty amazing what he has turned mediawiki into http://paulgu.com/wiki/Home [09:47:57] raddy: no. [09:48:09] raddy: you make templates and use them. there's your special syntax. [09:48:10] I haven't changed any included mediawiki files except localsettings [09:49:11] Duesentrieb: isn't these special syntax available in default template [09:49:24] Dues: those warnings are the kind of thing i was asking you about just a few minutes ago lol [09:49:33] That red box whould work well [09:50:00] raddy: there are no default templates [09:53:04] indraveni, maybe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MarkS/Extra_edit_buttons ? [09:54:05] 03proes * r26719 10/trunk/extensions/Wikidata/php-tools/SwissProtImport.php: Different handling of ONLINE INFORMATION comments. [09:59:45] hoi hoi [09:59:55] ik ben Rebecca krijg alleen mijn naam niet veranderd [10:00:34] iemand hier die nederlands spreekt? [10:09:07] Hello [10:09:21] Is somebody here? [10:09:46] Java_Gast will install the Dutch Wiki Software. Is there a guide for this installation? [10:10:19] TahR78, see mediawiki.org [10:10:39] It has much guide in English [10:10:53] They might have been translated to German too [10:11:21] I see it [10:11:24] Thanks for the link [10:11:25] Bye! [10:11:27] wel ive got right now the engelisch version i think [10:12:19] but the install guide included is not clearly cathegorized [10:12:30] so its abracadabra for me.. [10:13:59] me back i lost connection [10:14:26] java_gast, What can we do for you? [10:14:45] the installation guide [10:15:09] is one big mess... for me..not logical step by step telling me what to do [10:16:30] I wonder [10:16:58] I hate losing edits because of silly keying mistakes (hitting ^W and killing my edit page because my fingers are accustomed to vim is a big one) [10:17:11] so I try to remember to save my articles from time to time while editing [10:17:34] right now that involves hitting 'Save Page', then 'Edit Page' after it's commited [10:17:50] how difficult would it be to add a 'save and continue editing' button to the edit page that does just that? [10:17:59] (save the page and return immediately to editing) [10:18:31] ... and come to that, how difficult would it be to flag the saved version as such -- 'work in progress', rather than major or minor edit? [10:18:43] kjdavies: that would invite people to clutter the edit history with temporary versions. i can recommend using a browser extension for this type of thing [10:18:55] for firefox, there's a nice "save text area to file" thing [10:19:00] well [10:19:07] I can cut and paste the text with no problem [10:19:14] and this is a fairly small, somewhat exclusive wiki [10:19:25] in fact, I'm one of *maybe* four people who edit in it [10:19:34] so I'm not too worried about spurious updates [10:19:38] *shrug* [10:19:50] 03(NEW) unescaped page name makes smw_notitle error confusing - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11666 minor; low; MediaWiki extensions: Semantic MediaWiki; (info) [10:20:06] java_gast, sorry. I was busy a bit. It doesn't need much guide [10:20:18] just extract mediawiki tarball and [10:20:32] open index.php in browser. [10:20:52] though another solution might be to have a temporary version, or even a series of versions, that get removed when the page is committed for real [10:20:59] I suspect that one's more work, though [10:23:19] oke... [10:23:31] so first i copy all the files to my server [10:23:43] en than i open the index php? [10:23:57] java_gast, yes. [10:24:09] it says you what to do [10:24:10] ow well that shouldnt be a problem ;-) [10:24:25] I hope so [10:24:49] oke.. en if i recall correctly.. than i copy the files extracted from a other server.. into the directory on my server [10:24:52] correct? [10:26:32] and change the config files off that and change the database name etc etc [10:30:35] java_gast, installation script will do all for you [10:30:53] yes but ive got a backup [10:31:42] java_gast, so just change LocalSettings.php [10:31:42] but i think now that i should cutout the config php from the backup en upload the rest off the files. [10:32:10] ow wel..thats better i thought i should first install the software [10:32:42] java_gast, that [10:32:59] 's nice to rename localsettings.php and then [10:33:07] install wiki again. [10:33:08] 03purodha * r26720 10/trunk/phase3/languages/Language.php: Typo in comment. [10:34:05] pfff im feeling huge blont now [10:34:14] so just to be correct [10:34:21] create a database [10:34:31] upload backup to my server [10:34:44] change te localsettings... [10:34:50] install wiki software [10:35:41] correct? [10:35:59] just rename the files to have for yourself [10:36:09] then install your wiki again. [10:36:45] and then change LocalSettings.php however you want [10:36:46] i think you dont understand me.. [10:37:15] i got the subdirectorie file from a other server... where wiki is already running [10:37:35] but that wiki has the run from my server [10:38:16] brb [10:48:05] wel oke... ime back in a few minutes [10:52:59] java_gast, sorry. I was busy in wikipedia and other cvn channells now [10:54:14] "that wiki has the run from my server"?? Do you mean you have your db sw else? [11:10:15] hello [11:12:07] hello :) [11:13:07] yes the db is somwhere else [11:14:04] so i thought make speciale db on my own server.. install de wiki software [11:14:30] en then kopy the directory maps.. that ive got from the other server [11:14:43] understand? sorry my englisch is not that well [11:16:41] java_gast, so go to your control pannel of your server [11:17:07] then make a db there and grant it all access you can [11:17:19] sorry make user first [11:17:37] and then db. then connect it to your db [11:18:25] yep i knew that.. [11:18:41] in the localsettings .php [11:19:35] if you have a look at it you'll see which variables you should set [11:19:44] they're not much [11:19:55] I can't remember all variables now [12:23:43] hi [12:27:58] so... dummy alert... how do I set my wiki to read only for anonymous users *with* view source options?

I guess that is expected, but not from what you read here...http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:User_rights [12:39:48] I quote ...

I set * 'edit' = false, yet registerd users can edit. Is the doc or my wiki at fault? [12:49:34] Your fault [12:49:41] * means everyone (even anons) [12:49:46] 'user' means logged-in useres [12:49:57] but a logged in user can edit ?

[12:50:55] how come setting "['*']['edit'] = false" isn't enough? [12:51:05] Because MW looks at all groups you're in [12:51:18] If you have a permission in one of your groups, that's enough [12:51:20] And good too [12:51:29] yup, its good [12:51:30] ['user']['block'] = false; ['sysop']['block'] = true; [12:51:33] Yet sysops can block [12:51:52] And registered users are in both the * and user groups [12:53:24] ok, one last 'sanity check' to make sure we are on the same page.... I have one permissions modifying line in localsettings.php, which reads "$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;" - this *does not* affect members of the user group because DefaultSettings.php has "$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['edit'] = true;" set already. [12:53:44] ? [12:54:10] Yes [12:54:12] faceface: yes [12:54:16] cool [12:54:26] It only affects users that are only in * (i.e. anonymous users) [12:54:53] OK, how do I allow anonymous users to 'view source' (given that they can't edit). [12:55:00] OK [12:55:04] thanks guys [12:55:31] faceface "view source" is available when you have 'read', but not 'edit' permission [12:55:40] So ['*']['read'] = true; and [ [12:55:46] view source is kinda essential...

[13:36:55] to use imagemagick [13:37:48] =/ [13:37:56] Probably because ImageMagick is a standalone application [13:38:36] ok [13:38:47] well, the user is getting this error, (process:11435): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unable to create ~/.gnome2 directory: Permission denied [13:39:11] Hmm [13:39:26] As which user is Apache running? [13:39:29] www-data? [13:39:46] most probably [13:40:18] nobody [13:40:32] httpd running as user nobody [13:42:14] Starcraftmazter: hm, it seems strange that imagemagick would want to use ~/.gnome2 - are you sure it's imagemagick and not, say, rsvg? [13:42:40] no, I'm not at all sure, I'm not running the script [13:42:45] is there a way to find out [13:42:55] rsvg can produce that error but it's harmless, the real problem is somewhere else [13:43:08] although doesnt imagematic use "/usr/bin/convert" [13:43:11] magick* [13:43:26] the real problem is that it doesn't have the permssions it needs, or has the wrong pathes set, i would think [13:43:52] Starcraftmazter: /usr/bin/convert is a part of imagemagick. that has nothing to do with where it would try to create temporary files [13:43:54] well, originally the user came with the problem that exec was disabled, and mediawiki needed "/usr/bin/convert" [13:44:09] to use imagemagick, yes [13:44:10] so I suggested paththu [13:44:23] and now that error comes up, the one I mentioned with ~/.gnome2 [13:44:29] thru* [13:44:30] passthru is the wrong choice for the job, and not a bit safer than exec [13:44:35] 03nikerabbit * r26724 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/ (8 files): * Fixed some problems and rebuild [13:45:00] they were both disabled originally, then I thought passthru might be safer=/ [13:45:08] nope. [13:45:11] is there any other way at all for mediawiki to work without them? [13:45:19] sure, mediawiki will work [13:45:26] gd [13:45:28] well, I mean creating thumbnails [13:45:31] Yeah, use GD [13:45:36] but your thumbnails will have lower quality [13:45:37] GD works, but it sucks [13:45:42] can mediawiki be configured to use gd? [13:45:50] yes, that's why we both just said 'gd' [13:45:57] also, withoput external programs, other things will not work (svg rendering, tex formula rendering, diff3, etc) [13:45:59] alright, how would that be done? [13:46:26] $wgUseImageMagick = false; [13:46:31] which is the default, actually. [13:46:39] and to force GD? [13:46:47] or does that one option determine it [13:46:49] hm? [13:46:59] if it doesn't use imagemagick, it uses gd [13:47:03] oh I see [13:47:09] is this option on GlobalSettings ? [13:47:17] LocalSettings.php [13:47:20] right [13:47:35] GD sucks though. and mediawiki doesn't support gd2 [13:47:49] (or does it now?) [13:48:17] RoanKattouw: ping [13:48:28] Hey brion-office [13:48:45] I'd like to request SVN commit access for this guy called VasilievVV [13:48:58] He's submitted quite a few useful patches [13:49:01] for the API [13:49:07] RoanKattouw: on my list [13:49:35] Good, thanks [13:49:40] He's supposed to be here [13:49:47] VasilievVV: are you therE? [13:50:13] doesnt support gd2?? [13:50:29] don't think so, no. [13:50:34] or do we now, brion-office ?

[13:51:26] Starcraftmazter check that you've changed LocalSettings.php, not DefaultSettings.php [13:51:28] Duesentrieb: php uses gd1 or gd2 on the backend afaik it doesn't care which [13:51:30] yep [13:51:30] maybe it's... trying to use something else? [13:51:38] Also check that you've actually *saved* the file [13:51:41] have a look here [13:51:42] http://development.musewik.org/Image:Information.svg [13:51:46] And clear your browser cache [13:51:52] (Shift+Refresh button) [13:51:53] brion-office: oh? i thought you had to do something special to use gd2. maybe i'm just confused. [13:52:09] Hmm that's weird [13:52:10] not that i know of [13:52:10] did that [13:52:11] Starcraftmazter: that's an svg. so svg rendering applies. different thing, different setting. [13:52:18] I see [13:52:24] so, what course of action should I take? [13:52:27] you can't render svg without external program [13:52:32] Starcraftmazter: check what $wgSVGConverter is set to. [13:52:33] which is? [13:52:43] and does it use exec() once again [13:52:50] sure. [13:52:52] >< [13:52:53] all external programs use exec (or an equivalent function) [13:52:54] it uses an external program [13:53:06] 03(FIXED) allpages thingis - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11634 +comment (10roan.kattouw) [13:53:08] why don't any of these programs have php extensions [13:53:11] Starcraftmazter: dg does not support svg. there is no way to render svg without an external program. [13:53:16] preferrably not imagemagick, btw [13:54:02] mmm [13:54:41] Starcraftmazter: $wgSVGConverter = false; will get rid of your problem. it will also cause SVG not to show at all. [13:55:04] rsvg is the recommended converter, btw, ImageMagick sucks at rendering SVG [13:56:34] $wgSVGConverter = false; doesn't seem to rectify the error messages :S [13:57:06] 03(mod) Loading a special page fails when the option read is set to false for anonymous users . - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11668 (10N/A) [13:57:44] Starcraftmazter: the error message might be stuck in the cache. but i'm not sure about that. [13:57:54] actually, i have never tried to turn off svg rendering :) [13:57:57] how would I clear the cache [13:58:14] Shift+Refresh button [13:58:29] RoanKattouw: that doesn't help much for server side cache. [13:58:36] True [13:58:40] action=purge as an url param [13:58:43] lol [13:58:50] I thought you meant template cahce=/ [13:58:51] (though that should happen automatically when editing the configuration) [13:59:03] Starcraftmazter: wtf is template cache? [13:59:05] Duesentrieb you're right, it does [13:59:08] mm [13:59:18] template engine cache [13:59:20] like smarty [13:59:26] I don't know what mediawiki uses [13:59:26] RoanKattouw: but... action=purge also kills thumbnails, while editing the config doesn't. [13:59:39] Starcraftmazter: it uses mediawiki. [13:59:54] True [14:00:12] Starcraftmazter try index.php?title=Image:Mypicture.jpg&action=purge [14:01:02] didn't help=/ [14:01:11] is there any way to enable exec() for one specific user? [14:01:28] you can enable it for a particular directory with php_admin_flag [14:01:43] that might solve all problems then, how is this achievable?

[14:18:34] turning on read only mode probably also works [14:18:40] like $wgReadOnly = "Help!"; [14:18:50] In LocalSettings.php [14:19:53] $wgReadOnly = "The wiki cannot be edited right now. Please try again later."; is probably somewhat more clarifying for your useres [14:19:56] *users [14:21:00] yes, do that, then go and disable anonymous editing and turn off read only again. then configure captchas, spam blacklist, etc, and turn anon edits back on.

[14:37:20] :/ [14:37:28] Melvster_ yes [14:37:40] Something with $wgCaptialTitles [14:37:45] wow thanks [14:37:51] Hang on [14:37:54] no [14:38:09] $wgCapitalLinks = true; [14:38:14] In LocalSettings.php [14:38:19] Melvster: no it's not. the first (!) leter is case insensitve per default. it can be made sensitive all the way. [14:38:27] but it can't be mad insensitive all the way, afaik. [14:38:34] Oh shit yeah he wants them *in* sensitive [14:38:41] No that's not possible [14:38:49] well, it can, but you'd have to scatter "ucase" calls throughout the code :) [14:39:01] oh right [14:40:24] so if the first letter is wrong, i get a redirect to the correct article [14:41:35] i think i may have to go down the ucase route [14:42:01] basically what i want to do is set up a "myspace" style homepage for all my users in mediawiki [14:42:11] site.com/username [14:42:24] this will silently mod rewrite to site.com/wiki/username [14:42:43] but it only works if the first letter is capitalized [14:42:56] and most of my users start with a small character [14:43:38] so site.com/Username works fine [14:43:46] but site.com/username does not [14:47:58] here's the example i was having trouble with [14:48:01] http://footballweb.co.uk/Robin_van_Persie [14:48:06] as you can see that works fine [14:48:15] http://footballweb.co.uk/robin_van_Persie [14:48:40] Yep [14:48:47] But Robin_van_persie won't work [14:48:49] but a small r or a big V breaks things [14:49:05] so the 2nd link does a redirect to /wiki [14:49:07] That's Just The Way It Works (TM) [14:49:15] :) [14:49:35] You can create redirects for common misspellings [14:49:45] e.g. Robin_Van_Persie, Robin_van_persie, etc. [14:49:52] sure, but i was actually most interested in the small first character [14:49:58] Of course covering all variations isn't doable [14:50:03] Small first char is no problem [14:50:06] so can you see the 2nd link is subtly different? [14:50:10] it puts in /wiki/ [14:50:18] with the small r [14:50:25] Yes [14:50:33] is there any way round that? [14:50:39] That's because MediaWiki internally rewrites robin to Robin [14:50:40] No [14:50:44] Well, yes [14:50:44] ah ok [14:50:53] Change $wgArticlePath in LocalSettings.php [14:51:09] Then *everything* will use /Example instead of /wiki/Example [14:51:18] ahhh [14:51:23] now that's smart [14:52:40] could i write an extension to do a silent redirect? [14:52:44] putting articles in / is never smart [14:52:56] That's true [14:53:03] /wiki is better [14:53:19] Try to create an article called index.php or api.php, for instance [14:53:30] or FAQ [14:53:36] yes, there will be a collission [14:54:42] 03proes * r26729 10/trunk/extensions/Wikidata/php-tools/SwissProtImport.php: Import alternative products data from Swiss-Prot.

[14:56:06] because they can then use that URL accross the web [14:57:32] i think i can probably get the mod_rewrite to capitalise the first letter [14:57:57] if i go a->A , b->B ... etc. [14:58:07] Melvster also possible [14:58:09] 03rfrisar * r26732 10/branches/ApiEdit_Vodafone/ (12 files in 5 dirs): Updated from trunk via svnmerge: 26577:26585 [14:59:01] or maybe i could write a script to put every title in the db TOLOWER ?

[16:09:41] hi, i'm new to mediawiki and i'm setting up a small wiki for a projekt of mine. i like the namespace idea, but before i start messing around, i'd like to know the following: [16:09:51] is it possible to nest namespaces? [16:10:35] No [16:10:35] and: can i migrate namespaces? for example, migrate all articles from namespace X into global namespace, rename a namespace or select a couple of articles in one namespace and use them to create another [16:11:19] kwayne, I'm new too, buuuut, how about categories? [16:12:21] dfp: i didn't think of that, and suddenly i remember i have seen them on wikipedia and liked the index pages of categories [16:12:34] however, can i restrict editing access to special categories? [16:13:03] 03maarten * r26751 10/trunk/extensions/Wikidata/: Added Eclipses .project file to svn:ignore [16:16:34] basically, what i would like to do is create a couple of "groups" of articles that belong together, and i'd like to restrict editing access to one of these and i'd like to have the option to reorder the "groups" and nest them as the wiki grows larger and the need arises to edit the hierarchy [16:17:04] of course, the latter should not involve hand-editing every link :) [16:17:22] is there any way i can do that or something close to it [16:17:25] ? [16:18:04] is there any way for a sysop to force a theme? [16:22:44] a sysop can change most of page appearances [16:23:12] via monobook.css/monobook.js [16:23:23] not global theme setting though [16:24:51] 03(NEW) Close Upload Form to Normal Users - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11669 15enhancement; normal; Wikimedia: General/Unknown; (ice201) [16:28:50] well, after a closer look at categories, i decided that this is what i want to use instead of namespaces. however, i could not answer the questions stated above by reading the help text about categories :/ [16:33:11] ugh [16:33:13] MORE RELFECTION [16:36:06] 03(NEW) Deferred template substitution ( with some magic keyword such as subst1) - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11670 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki: Templates; (smjg) [16:48:43] 03(NEW) Conditional + span failure - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11671 major; normal; MediaWiki: Templates; (ajs) [16:52:23] 03(mod) Conditional + span failure - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11671 (10ajs) [16:56:11] 03david * r26752 10/trunk/extensions/LiquidThreads/ (LqtBaseView.php README): Simplified installation procedure.

[20:40:37] jlerner_: so afterward, the search results page still has the lines containing the matched text following each article name, just not highlighted? [20:41:11] danielson: I commented that out entirely, iirc [20:43:39] jlerner_: ok, so if I understand correctly, just document titles without article text are displayed?

[23:33:28] anyone able to help someone new to running a mediawiki with a problem? [23:34:12] frieze, just say the problem [23:35:06] okay so I installed mediawiki and copied over the source from "Template:Infobox Company" now when I use the template I see the html source the page is supposed to have as text on the page [23:35:23] can someone please direct me to which include file contains the line with $cmd = $wgImageMagickConvertCommand [23:35:46] so instead of making a table with all my data the page just leads with frieze, have you installed the extensions that wikipedia uses? [23:36:45] frieze, are you copying the HTML verison or wikicode versrion? [23:37:41] I think it actually may be the wikicode version (now that I googled that) [23:37:52] if I drop that extension in will I be in business? [23:40:24] or do I misunderstand how wikicode works? [23:40:33] so, are you clicking View Source in your browser or the "source" tab at the top, next to "talk" and stuff [23:40:44] exactly [23:40:54] which one [23:41:47] view source [23:41:50] sorry [23:42:02] in your broser or in wikipedia [23:42:11] aka does notepad pop up or another wikipedia page [23:42:15] frieze, click on edit this page [23:42:26] i went to wikipedia and clicked the "view source" buton on the Template:Infobox Company page [23:42:28] 03(mod) Not showing all requested counts of contributions since the oldest contributes - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11601 (10brion) [23:42:35] frieze, exactly [23:42:39] i think it's source since it's a wikipedia template page [23:42:50] then copied all that into the corresponding page on my wiki [23:43:14] frieze, where is your wiki? [23:43:30] I can't actually open outside access to it here [23:43:53] okay [23:43:54] does he possibly need to include the ParserFunctions extension? [23:44:01] yep [23:44:03] i already installed parserfunction [23:44:07] Can someone tell me why these two differ? http://code.gnu-designs.com/enwiki_upstream_01.jpg and http://code.gnu-designs.com/enwiki_local_01.jpg [23:44:20] frieze, there are also another extensions to get [23:44:22] that made the #if lines work [23:44:38] frieze, see en.wikipedia.org/special:version [23:45:14] alnokta, I am trying to get ImageMagick to work properly, everything I read says to make a change to the command that is actually called on the convert.exe [23:45:31] most places say it is located in the Image.php file, but I do not find it there [23:45:37] do you happen to know where it is? [23:45:45] any idea which extensions would be likely? [23:47:04] Plasma86, no unfortunately ;) [23:47:12] frieze, check the page i linked you [23:47:48] it redirected me to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version [23:47:54] which has a table of extensions [23:48:02] Thanks, and frieze, I believe the ParserFunctions is all you need to make most templates work [23:48:13] yeah have that installed already [23:48:30] oh [23:48:32] but I'll look through and make sure it's happy [23:48:37] Is there some template or database links I'm missing? [23:48:39] wait, you need the Common.css too [23:48:47] frieze, yes try to get some extensions [23:49:45] Hrm, looks like it was the dreaded wgCapitalLinks again [23:50:34] frieze, you will want to copy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css to your own MediaWiki:Common.css also [23:56:54] Plasma86: while that didn't fix the problem it did help a bit as now i have part of the box showing up. [23:57:08] What's the place where I can enable/disable page elements again? (sidebar, title, etc.) I've forgotten...
