[03:57:13] Hello, am I logged in properly? [03:57:59] Good it looks like it's working ;-) [03:59:21] but you are called mediawiki [04:00:02] Hmmm I must have a setting wrong, it shows up as Nad in the list...? [04:00:10] use /nick [04:05:41] Is it possible to get content from wiki in plain text? For example an article from Wikipedia as ASCII stuff. [04:06:25] You mean wikitext or HTML converted to plain text? [04:07:13] Erkkimon_: yes you can [04:07:32] I came for the same question and found mysekf [04:09:23] Nad: The output of html-code converted to plain text. [04:09:50] hub: That's nice. Could u tell me, how? [04:10:45] You'd need to strip the tags - I don't know if there's an existing extension for that or not - if just wikitext is needed then action=raw would be fine [04:11:52] Okay. [04:12:40] Nad: I'm trying to find out a solution for blind people to utilize Wikipedia. [04:13:33] Nad: The text could be made spoken with Festival but the content of the article should be got in a readable form somehow. [04:14:28] There are many converters out there such as html2txt (ftp://ftp.u-net.com/com/scanline/html2txt/html2txt.zip) but not as an extension I don't think [04:17:36] Perl is best for that kind of thing though: http://www.cpan.org/authors/Tom_Christiansen/scripts/striphtml.gz [04:19:15] If you find something that works for you from the command line I can give you a quick snippet of code that would allow mediawiki to return in similar to action=raw [04:31:59] Erkkimon_: That perl one works well - you can add a hook to unknown action hook to return plain text - if you need to know code to do this, ask on the support-desk and I'll add it there... [04:32:21] Nad: Thanks. :) [04:42:43] can mediawiki users be authenticated against a .htaccess file? i'm hoping to switch from phpwiki, and authing against .htaccess is one of the prerequisits [04:43:12] What do u mean? [04:43:25] Do u want users authenticate themselves using .htaccess? [04:44:10] yes [04:44:41] kgoetz: And u ask if it's possible? [04:44:45] kgoetz: It is. [04:45:38] Erkkimon_: thanks, i'll try and find some information about it [04:47:14] kgoetz: Right. It's quite simple. Just create .htaccess with account information and place it in your wiki root. That's it. :) [04:48:02] Erkkimon_: sounds to good to be true ;) but if its that easy sweet ;) [05:07:41] 03(WONTFIX) Renaming class User to MWUser - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11688 +comment (10JSchulz_4587) [05:32:34] 03(NEW) Page names are compared case insensitively within queries - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11689 major; normal; MediaWiki extensions: Semantic MediaWiki; (bugzilla.wikimedia.org) [05:46:08] 03david * r26791 10/trunk/extensions/LiquidThreads/ (Lqt.i18n.php LqtBaseView.php): More i18n. I think that LqtBaseView is done. [05:47:36] can mediawiki generate RSS files? [05:48:26] Recent change and history have rss/atom feeds [05:48:57] huh. didn't notice [05:49:51] now, if I can just get Opera to pick up on it... [05:53:53] hmm [05:54:03] browser seems to think there's an RSS feed [05:54:07] but I can't seem to get at it [05:55:31] what happens when you go to its url? [05:56:10] Special:Recentchanges&&feed=rss? [05:56:49] Yip (with one &) [05:57:03] there were two in the link when I looked at the source [05:57:09] hmm [05:57:14] 'XML parsing failed [05:57:29] gagged on [05:57:37] ah -- leading whitespace [05:57:38] What version of MW? [05:58:03] Oh leading whittespace - that's probably localsettings or an extension with space after the ?> [05:58:17] and the bogus RSS link [05:58:23] http://wiki.kjd-imc.org/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&%3Bfeed=rss&feed=rss [05:58:31] && should be ok... [05:59:07] it would be [05:59:12] but the link above is clearly bogus [05:59:20] it escapes (for HTML) the & [05:59:32] it should still work - just the leading whitespace is breaking it I think [05:59:32] and does something weird with the second one, too [05:59:49] ... I'm drawing a blank. Where do I find version information? [05:59:51] duh [05:59:53] 'Version' [06:00:00] 1.10.1 [06:00:09] http://wiki.kjd-imc.org/Special:Version [06:02:32] check each extension script you've downloaded and ensure no whitespace after ?> (or remove ?> completely works too) [06:03:31] Na1: eh? why would space after ?> in an extension script put it before the XML declaration in the RSS feed? [06:03:56] well [06:04:13] good call anyway, it seems an extension (one I planned to remove anyway) was breaking it [06:04:38] hmm [06:04:58] okay, this is cool so far, it shows the new articles, and it even includes the text [06:05:13] but it includes the raw article text. Is there a way to have mediawiki format it for me? [06:05:21] (not necessary, but it'd make it cooler) [06:05:44] (especially since I'm using templates for most of my funkier formatting) [06:10:32] NickServ INDENTIFY irc4me [06:10:39] oops [06:10:45] *kjdavies sees at least two mistakes there [06:11:16] can't remember my password - how do I reset?

[06:13:38] smarbin: what client? [06:13:46] Na1: or snotices [06:13:47] chatzilla [06:13:54] ah. can't help you there, don't use it [06:14:15] I'm using Gaim on Ubuntu [06:14:58] Na1: hmm. most IRC clients I'm familiar with (very few) make the server notices available; if you try to do something and it doesn't happen, they'll generally tell you why [06:15:58] no worries, that's not my password anyway, i was just hoping it would prompt me "forgot password?" or something like that... no such luck [06:16:17] ah [06:16:22] smarbin: woudnt #freenode be a better place to ask? or a staffer directly? [06:16:29] all else fails, contact an admin [06:17:10] right... sorry came here to ask a wiki question: looks like a bot is spamming my wiki, but just posting small gibberish changes [06:17:27] any advice? [06:17:29] http://www.teampedia.net/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges [06:17:35] Extension:ConfirmEdit [06:17:52] and maybe SpamBlacklist [06:18:02] and maybe Extension:SpamBlacklist [06:18:05] (if that's right) [06:18:16] i have confirmedit - but they aren't posting links [06:18:20] *kjdavies hasn't noticed any defacement [06:18:32] oh. and I'm limiting edits to registered users [06:18:37] Na1: 15:47 -NickServ(NickServ@services.)- Nickname: nad [06:18:37] 15:47 -NickServ(NickServ@services.)- Registered: 3 years 3 weeks (20h 9m 41s) ago [06:18:48] you? just contcat a staffer too :) [06:18:50] *contact [06:18:54] The spambots can still register unless you put a CAPTCHA on it [06:19:43] Na1: I've never had a problem. Could just be lucky, though [06:19:57] I just registered Aranad, I don't know where this Nal is coming from...? [06:20:59] Oh - that worked.... [06:23:35] kjdavies: looks like confirmedit and spamblacklist only deal with issues where bots/people are inserting links [06:23:50] smarbin: ah. sorry, can't help you then [06:23:56] in my case they are just inserting gibberish words [06:24:06] ConfirmEdit works for both editing and login/signup [06:24:50] i don't require login - so these are anonymous users [06:25:25] mmm. still dunno then [06:25:54] gah. I'm pretty sure there's a way to tell a Category page to not show subcategories (I iterate them differently on this page, don't need the automagically generated one) [06:25:58] but I can't remember where I saw it [06:26:00] All the spambots insert links, so confirmedit will require them to answer a question for the edit to work [06:28:53] I can't remember if there's an option for turning subcats off, but you can make them invisible with their css using #mw-subcategories { display:none } [06:30:44] Aranad: I think they usually insert links, but maybe this one is malfunctioning? Inserting words like: domvarrico and converting quotes to symbols like â [06:33:18] You would have no choice but to either not allow anonymous edits or to have everyone enter CAPTCHA to edit [06:35:55] yeah those aren't great options for me right now... but thanks kjdavies and Aranad. I will keep looking around [06:40:54] eh? [06:40:55] Invision Power Board integrates with mediawiki? [06:57:07] heya, someone know what is wrong when i try to remove my mediawiki to a new server and i install it normally.. Then i import my old databases dump to a new database to get all the data in mediawiki to the new server and i get handfull of errors [06:57:30] hrm [06:57:51] I can see where to modify the PHP code to not show the subcategories of a category if (some condition) is met [06:57:55] but it feels wrong to hack this in [06:59:27] ah well, another day [06:59:50] <_wooz> lo [07:00:01] Hacking the code-base is best avoided, probably best to start by using css to make them invisible [07:01:01] yeah [07:01:09] thing is [07:01:13] I don't *always* want to hide them [07:01:16] just on certain pages [07:01:41] (I use DPL to fetch the information and links to the subcategories, giving me a 'richer presentation' for these ones [07:01:55] You can use Extension:CSS or similar to put the invsisbility CSS styles in just the cat pages you want them in [07:03:13] We use DPL with mode=category too for more complex queries that look like cat pages, we use namespace Query [07:04:12] I've got a template ({{article}}) that contains information about the article (author, publication date, abstract, etc.) [07:04:41] in a couple of places I fetch that back to create a table of contents that's much more meaningful than the bare list produced by the category processing [07:04:55] though I do want to keep that in case I remember to set the category but forget the {{article}} [07:05:05] similarly, certain categories I might want to do the same [07:05:17] You can use DPL with treeview too to make trees of links-to, links-from, templates used etc [07:05:50] and IIRC I've got a specialized {{category}} template that behaves similarly to {{article}}, that I use to create a nicer subcategory list (includes a description of the subcategory) [07:07:46] heh [07:08:11] I've come to the mildly frustraing conclusion that a wiki (mediawiki, at least, and it's probably the best one I've seen) isn't *quite* *exactly* what I want [07:08:40] but it's *so close* for *so much* that whenever I work in mine for a while I feel tempted to try to bend it into what I actually want [07:17:08] Yeah I feel the same - that's why I write so many extensions - to make it do all the stuff I want it to! [07:23:22] I'm willing to write extensions [07:23:29] *if* the hooks for what I want to do can be found [07:23:38] but it'll have to wait for tomorrow for me to talk about it, I need some sleep [07:25:49] 03rfrisar * r26794 10/branches/ApiEdit_Vodafone/ (35 files in 4 dirs): Updated from trunk via svnmerge.

[12:43:56] hi, I've been away for a couple of years but now I have to use MediaWiki on my new job and have many questions. [12:44:10] drork-IL, no as far as i know [12:44:29] though that question is better at #wikimedia-tech [12:44:35] Ed_Poor, yes [12:44:43] Ed_Poor, good you are back [12:44:55] alnokta= *sigh* [12:45:02] Ed_Poor: shoot. [12:45:03] What I'm looking for is a way to: [12:45:08] alnokta= bad news for our programmer [12:45:19] Allow anyone in a special group such as "authors" to create new pages and edit existing pages. [12:45:27] drork-IL, though you can still use images from commons [12:45:28] Restrict the general public from creating or editing pages (except talk pages); they should not even see Recent Changes for hidden pages. [12:45:34] Easily turn a finished page into a publicly visible page. [12:45:42] The purpose is to have one web site, where the public gets to see a finished product, but only staff members (i.e., "authors") are allowed to modify anything. The public can only comment [12:45:50] Of course, if someone's comments are good, we might want to invite them to become an author. [12:45:52] Ed_Poor: mediawiki sucks for that kind of thing [12:45:56] alnokta= how is it meant to improve the use of WikiCommons? [12:46:05] I thought it might suck for that. [12:46:10] $wgGroupPermissions['author']['create'] = true -- replace createpage with edit [12:46:28] But I know enough MySQL and PHP to write my own extension for it [12:46:28] there's a stable versioning extension, but you're going into uncharted territory with it [12:46:35] it's basically somebody's pet project [12:46:35] you can probably do it by putting hidden pages in one namespace, and moving them to another to publish them [12:46:36] drork-IL, what do you mean? [12:46:49] there's some kind of feature i don't remember the name of that lets you hide certain namespaces.. but i don't think it affects recentchanges [12:46:50] hello werdana [12:47:00] Can someone maybe help out there with a problem on installing MW ??? .. I have installed a few different versions earlier, so no problem with my requirements .. i want to allow MW to use my cache .. i installed one of them that is mentioned in MW install and it tests out OK, but MW still doesn't see it ?? Any ideas please ... [12:47:11] Ed_Poor: it sucks because there's little infrastructure in the software for it, even if you're willing to write code :) [12:47:18] alnokta= well, any wiki system can access the Commons and display images from there. So what's the big deal about InstantCommons [12:47:19] ? [12:48:40] I've been writing code my entire adult life - and I'm middle aged. Pioneering new territory doesn't scare me. [12:48:40] drork-IL, i don't know, may be able to use [[]] and thumb and all that [12:49:02] drork-IL, allowexternalimages don't allow you to do that [12:49:03] Ed_Poor: sure, but you might just use some software that already does this [12:49:14] drork-IL, and you have to get the direct url [12:49:21] Remember: I'm the guy who got Tim Starling to write the m:ParserFunctions extension [12:49:30] drork-IL, rather than image description page [12:49:42] fp, what software already "does this"? [12:49:50] My team want to use Joomla [12:50:08] And I'm being pressed by the boss to make a decision this week [12:50:14] alnokta= okay, that sounds reasonable. I know our programmer relied upon InstantCommons [12:50:14] , so he'll be disappointed, but that's life.. [12:50:57] Ed_Poor: http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/ [12:51:10] Ed_Poor: you pushed Tim to write parserfunctions? good grief, you need an exorcism!

[12:51:15] 03(mod) Renaming class User to MWUser - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11688 (10brion) [12:51:24] werdna, praying now... ;-) [12:51:39] drork-IL, s/he can still use $wgAllowExternalImages [12:51:50] Ed_Poor: it lets you restrict viewing or editing of pages or namespaces to individual users or groups.. which seems like what you want [12:51:58] Ed_Poor: and you can let readers comment on pages without being able to edit them [12:52:00] alnokta= I'll tell him that [12:52:50] 04(REOPENED) Create "Appendix" namespace to fi-wiktionary - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11672 +comment (10attel0) [12:52:50] fp, that sounds exactly like what we want [12:52:53] 03(mod) Math.php problem -- > Failed to parse (PNG conversion failed; check for correct installation of latex, dvips, gs, and convert) - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4705 (10brion) [12:52:53] *Werdna goes to bed [12:52:56] nn [12:53:02] downside is (1) learning curve and (2) pricing [12:53:08] yeah, it's not cheap. [12:53:21] Ed_Poor: are you a charity or open source project? (it's free for those..) [12:53:48] FishEye is free for use by official non-profit organisations and charities - but [12:54:13] I don't know if our purpose is secular enough ... visit www.upf.org and *sigh* you tell me. [12:55:20] May I ask a question please ??? [12:55:25] 03(mod) Create "Appendix" namespace to fi-wiktionary - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11672 (10attel0) [12:55:32] hm.. i'd think so, you're not actually a church or anything. [12:55:45] Me a chirch ?? [12:55:50] church .. [12:55:52] no, ed poor :) [12:57:09] Oh .. [12:57:39] Can i ask a question about MW caching from anyone on here - please .. [12:58:20] Looks like shop is closed .. sigh .. [12:58:27] don't ask to ask, just ask [12:58:44] I did, about a page up but got no response !! [12:58:57] UPF has a secular purpose (world peace! :-) but it is backed by a religious group - with religious motives. We wouldn't want to *cheat* because that violates our own religious principles of course :p [13:00:05] Anyway, it ought to be easy to hack\\\\ modify MediaWiki code to hide any recent changes to hidden pages [13:00:44] and then to allow admins - or "Authors" group members - to publish a page. [13:01:20] the easiest way is probably namespaces [13:01:55] I'd rather use an existing GPL system that I'm familiar with (or that others on my team have used) than start a new project with new software. Steve McConnell says that's a street on the journey to failure. [13:02:03] So how can I use namespaces? [13:02:26] have an Unpublished: namespace where you restrict viewing (there's something about this in the manual at www.mediawiki.org... i don't remember the details) [13:02:27] By default, everything is visible. I want new, unapproved content to be hidden [13:02:37] when you're ready, move pages to a different namespace that anyone can view [13:02:42] I like "unpublished" :-) [13:03:02] Would you like to make $25/hour and be a consultant for a few days? [13:04:05] hm.. i would do, but at the moment a short-term project is probably more effort than it's worth [13:04:07] Send me an email at uncle_ed_poor@yahoo.com and I'll send you my phone number or skype address. I'd like to make this happen by Thursday 2:00 P.M. New York time. [13:04:25] All I need is a few pointers: I intend to do all the programming [13:05:14] btw, ZS6R0 please ask your question ... [13:05:27] hi, ZS6R0 [13:11:54] fp, I'll look in the manual for namespaces. I hope it lets me restrict recent changes, because authors often write edit summaries which our organization would not like to make public. [13:12:09] OK thanks ... [13:12:16] Such as: what's the best way to describe X without embarassing Y because of Z? [13:13:49] I have been playing with a few MW installs and getting the hang of things and my server likes MW ... I decided that I would like to use one of the mentioned caches .. My install tells me it can't see it .. Tests show that the cache IS in fact working .. I must state that i am using MW 1.12 so something may be broken on the install .. Any ideas please ?? [13:15:06] Couldn't find Turck MMCache, eAccelerator, APC or XCache; cannot use these for object caching. keeps on showing .. I am using "eAccelerator" ... [13:17:36] I had the same problem Z - I had to have a technician diagnose the problem. [13:17:57] Ouch - any 'cure' ?? [13:25:31] *ZS6RO slaps Ed_Poor around a bit with a large trout [13:27:55] sorry - talking with boss [13:29:47] Oops - sorry .. [13:30:56] good morning [13:31:10] got a question: I have some material that is brief and changed often [13:31:21] product version numbers, pretty much [13:31:38] I'm looking for a way to provide 1 point of editing [13:32:03] a single place that people can change the version numbers, and a way to then grab these individual values and replicate them across the wiki [13:32:21] where is roan when you want to poke him :( [13:32:38] so transcluding another page won't work; it would require far too many separate pages and knowledge on behalf of the editors [13:32:42] any ideas? [13:35:34] Labeled Section Transcluding? [13:35:37] How about a template? [13:35:47] Templates are great for transcluding. [13:35:54] how would either of those work? [13:36:03] can you transclude a small portion of a template? [13:37:12] there may be 80 or more items with versions, and people need to change several at a time, so I'd like to keep it all on one page if possible [13:37:21] i'm looking up labeled section transcluding as we speak [13:38:09] is this what you're talking about? [13:38:10] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion [13:39:00] this looks like exactly what I was thinking about [13:39:25] i'm really beginning to hate ie [13:39:26] no wait [13:39:29] i'm past that point ;) [13:39:44] it's refusing to load my wiki if i include the FireBug Lite javascript console [13:39:47] the hell? [13:39:48] ha ha. good morning to you too [13:40:02] brion-office: I have gone so far I've started to hate Opera ツ [13:40:12] i get a kick out of how IE 7 spontaneously breaks my mediawiki page, but it works in 6 [13:40:53] brion-office: I just got a bug report that it will choke on "case 'foo'" in a switch statement [13:41:20] seems opera doesn't handle cases in switch [13:41:34] ... [13:41:36] well, i'm going to install and play with that Labeled Section Transcluding. Thank you for the reference Platonides [13:41:54] brion-office: it chokes on: [13:41:56] break; [13:41:56] case 'cfd': [13:41:56] Wikipedia.addCheckpoint(); [13:42:03] the middle row there ツ [13:42:19] Syntax error while loading: line 1384 of linked script at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AAzaToth%2Ftwinklexfd.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript : [13:42:19] case 'cfd' [13:42:19] ------^ [13:42:25] \o/ [13:42:29] I must say opera has a shit of JS implementation [13:44:02] AzaTht, is it C/C++? [13:44:19] single quotes are only for characters [13:44:20] Platonides: what is what? [13:44:28] it's Javascript [13:45:05] Platonides: and row 1279 before are: [13:45:09] case 'ifd': // IFD [13:45:33] i.e. the same switch [13:45:58] yeah, it shouldn't fail [13:47:49] *AzaTht want's FF to implmenet xpath 2.0 [13:48:48] brion-office, I think I have asked this before, but is there something similar to importTextDump.php which exports pure wiki text? or should I write my own script for that? [13:50:00] depends... what's importTextDump.php? [13:50:04] brion-office: could you add to show line numbers on JS pages? [13:50:17] i know what importDump.php does, and what importTextFile.php does... [13:50:18] importTextFile.php was what I meant [13:50:31] well they import, not export... [13:50:50] yeah, exactly... I don't want XML or HTML output, I want pure wiki text from some article [13:51:01] *shrug* [13:51:21] strip from the xml or write a trivial wrapper prog to do it i guess [13:51:52] lch: that's probably like 3 lines of code [13:52:06] can I get the WikiExporter to not add the XML stuff? [13:52:13] $t = Title::newFromText("Main_Page"); $a = new Article($t); print $a->getContent(); # or something [13:52:14] flyingparchment, yeah [13:53:01] maybe I'm making it too complicated trying to do this in a more sensible way [14:13:02] 03(FIXED) Support for Semantic MediaWiki 1.0 - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11204 +comment (10yaron57) [14:16:32] if I want to find all pages that belong to a specific category it's enough to look at the categorylinks table, right?
