[00:52:49] if you can point me to the source file, that will help too [01:01:56] anyone here who knows the difference between the getText() and getPrefixedText() functions for wgTitle? [01:02:32] are the different revisions of some specific page saved in the database as complete pages or as diffs? i'm just wondering how much it would help to regularly clean the revision history in order to get the database size down. [01:07:14] thisislobo, getText() returns the text of the title. getPrefixedText() returns the text of the title with the namespace prefix, if applicable, e.g., "Wikipedia:Reliable sources" instead of just "Reliable sources". Isn't this in the comments? [01:07:48] khatahn, as complete pages. Optionally compression can be used, in which case they don't take up any more space than diffs, because the compression chops out the repeated parts. [01:08:46] Simetrical: interesting, is that simply a mediawiki configuration option? [01:09:01] khatahn, it may be a little complicated to set up, I'm not sure. Never tried it.

[01:12:03] i was searching for the documentation and couldn't find it [01:12:19] which file in includes/ has this function defined? [01:12:21] thisislobo, documentation is in the code comments, in this case in Title.php. [01:12:29] ok...thanks much! [01:12:43] Generally classes are defined in a file with the same name as a class, although there are exceptions. [01:12:51] s/as a/as the/ [01:13:03] If you're unsure, you can just grep for "function getPrefixedText" or such. [01:14:56] yes...but i use windows :( [01:15:02] but this helps.. thanks! [01:15:30] grep is an invaluable programming tool. When I used Windows, I got a port of it. [01:15:36] Highly recommended. [01:16:07] Actually I think Windows search can be persuaded to act like grep, regexes and all, but I don't know how to do that, and also it doesn't conveniently print out all the lines or anything. [01:17:23] windows search sucks [01:17:33] it doesnt even search content within php files [01:17:49] and i use eclipse...i don't think that has grep like functionality either [01:18:14] Install a grep port and use cmd.exe. Or use Cygwin with bash.

I'm running Mediawiki 1.11.0, HP 5.1.4 and I did everything mentioned in manual to enable image-uploading with no effect (setting the images directory to be writeable, uncommenting $wgEnableUploads = true;). Can somebody help me? [11:09:57] p360t: what happens when you try? there's no upload link at all? [11:10:57] Actually, nothing happens. The page just blinks once with no information about uploading - no error message, no file stored in images directory... [11:11:26] p369t, which page? [11:11:37] Have you gone to Special:Upload ? [11:12:03] yes [11:13:09] And Special:Imagelist is still empty [11:13:24] it is sth like Special:Upload in wikipedia. isn't it? [11:15:12] I tried Special:Upload [11:15:51] p360, What do you mean it blinks [11:16:13] p360, Doesn't it have upload form? [11:17:17] blinks = reloads [11:17:24] or refreshes [11:20:14] hmm, I have never seen such this thing. I think it might be some problems with your server cofiguration [11:20:58] I'm not skillful in system administration. I feel it posts nothing to Special:Upload so it apears again [11:21:08] Post variables must be empty [11:25:48] Ok, thanks for your time... I'll try another webserver.

[11:32:18] i have a mediawiki - this wiki is inside of a "portal" and in this portal i want to use the wiki-user-rights e.g. for adding news to the startpage if i'm admin - if not this should be read only...hope you understand what i try to do [11:32:51] @ Duesentrieb [11:37:05] 03(NEW) Update for Swedish localisation - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11724 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki: Internationalization; (lejonel) [11:47:30] Dr_Jekyll: so you want to use the user authentification of the mw outside of the context of it.

[11:48:58] PunkRock: yes, i try to authenticate the portal user with the users registered at the mw [11:50:19] Dr_Jekyll: it's possible, but you have to use the MW Api. and it could be a hard thing to find out which stuff you have to include. but after that....

[11:53:49] ... but i didn't used the user auth api. you have to find out how thats working for yourself [11:53:55] PunkRock this would be more i hoped to find here...but i must be silly to say "no" ;) [11:56:30] PunkRock: wrong: to say "no" --> right: if i say "no" [11:58:12] Dr_Jekyll: i'll paste it at pastey [12:02:20] Dr_Jekyll: actually, checking a login against the user db of mediawiki is simply, and getting the groups assigned to a user is trivial. [12:02:31] getting the permissions assigned to groups by mediawiki is not so easy. [12:02:45] sharing sessions with mediawiki is really tricky. [12:03:11] maybe consider using the OpenID plugin for mediawiki [12:03:42] openid id designed for this type of thing - though i have never used it and don't know the details.

[17:02:55] piksi, ah, then you probably need an extension, yes. [17:04:41] Hmm. [17:08:06] piksi, well, you could do a one-line hack in User::isValidEmailAddr, but to do it with an extension might require more cleverness. [17:08:40] Or I could add a hook to that function, maybe. That would be sensible generally, I think. Then when you upgrade to the next version it will still hopefully be there. [17:10:30] Simetrical: i found a ConfirmAccount -extension but i'm not yet sure if i can modify it to suit my needs [17:10:58] it completely disables account before they have been validated via email [17:11:30] That can be done in the core software, I should imagine. [17:13:43] hi [17:15:37] i'm trying to configure mediawiki using a curl on config/index.php [17:15:39] http://hg.ouzo.flouzo.net/file/tip/home/www/ouzo/ouzo/usr/sbin/ouzo-mediawiki [17:15:50] 03simetrical * r26865 10/trunk/phase3/ (RELEASE-NOTES docs/hooks.txt includes/User.php): isValidEmailAddr hook added to User method of that name, to allow, e.g., restricting e-mail addresses to a specific domain [17:16:08] i've not seen this elsewhere, therefore I guess it's kind of a bad idea. But i'm not sure why. [17:16:19] piksi, okay, if that doesn't get reverted, then as of MediaWiki 1.12 there will be a simple hook for you to use for this. [17:17:51] Simetrical: ok great, thanks for help :-) i'll search further on this matter [17:21:12] piksi, the extension you want would look something like this, in LocalSettings.php: function filterEmailAddress( $addr, &$result, $user ) { $result = (bool)preg_match( '/@mydomain.com$/', $addr ); return false; } $wgHooks['isValidEmailAddr'] = 'filterEmailAddress'; [17:21:57] piksi, you can copy the patch I just committed to trunk, and use that extension code for your extension if you want. Assuming nobody gets rid of my new hook, it will be in 1.12 and you don't need to worry about things breaking when you upgrade. [17:22:15] s/copy the patch/apply the patch/ [17:22:17] Simetrical: oh, thanks a lot! [17:22:32] i'll go get the patch [17:23:16] piksi, although I can't guarantee it will still be in 1.12, I don't see why it wouldn't be. The patch will be available from http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/. [17:23:41] Here: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki?view=rev&revision=26865 [17:49:47] brion: is you are not very busy, may you process requests for commit access, please? [17:49:53] i'm veru busy [17:50:53] Ok, I won't annoy you now [17:57:18] if i have a directory, "foo", and i want to import it to http://svn-server/trunk/foo, do i do "cd foo; svn import . http://svn-server/trunk/foo" ? [17:58:04] flyingparchment: probable [17:58:09] I think so [17:58:10] *probably [17:58:14] Never used import (not common) [18:07:46] There is a javascript function used with a template I saw on wikimedia, named Toggleimage, Is there a way to activate such function, or is it an add-on? [18:08:50] Anyone that knows why svg renders as a black blurb? [18:09:07] probably pretty obvious when you have the solution.. ;) [18:09:12] arvernes, you can add it to the wiki page MediaWiki:Common.js (or MediaWiki:Monobook.js for pre-1.10ish). [18:09:31] arvernes, weren't the Arverni a Gallic confederation of Caesar's time or so? [18:10:14] Yeap, some people who fighted again Caesar :-) [18:10:16] Is there a way of searching pages belonging to a category instead of a name space? [18:11:08] x99 just go to the category page [18:11:22] RoanKattouw: Hello [18:11:29] If you want all pages in Category:Example, just go to Category:Example as if it were an article [18:11:31] Hi arvernes [18:11:36] I looked at your problem [18:12:03] And strangely, it does render correctly in Special:ExpandTemplates [18:12:05] Yeap, I saw that this afternoon. Could it be a bug or something wrong with my settings ? [18:12:29] Try copying {{Début cadre}}Hello world{{Fin cadre}} to Special:ExpandTemplates and it works correctly [18:12:57] ? Really. I'm gonna test it right now [18:13:18] Roan: Is there a way of *searching* pages belonging to a category instead of a namespace? [18:13:54] x99 not that I know of [18:14:03] RoanKattouw: amazing. It works fine there. [18:14:07] Yep [18:14:31] As a temporary fix, you could just create one template (Modèle:Cadre) and use that instead [18:14:38] I'll create it on your wiki right now [18:14:46] Would this be hard to implement? [18:15:08] RoanKattouw: and do you have an idea of what's wrong ? [18:15:18] Unfortunately, nop [18:15:19] *no [18:15:32] What's the issue? [18:16:04] http://www.arvernes.com/wiki/index.php/Fm/sandbox [18:22:37] arvernes, this is a known bug. Add $wgUseTidy = true; to the end of LocalSettings.php. [18:23:05] Simetrical: great. Thanks. [18:25:11] 03river * r26867 10/trunk/tools/supybot-plugins/: new directory [18:25:35] RoanKattouw: with your help and Simetrical's it works great. Thanks to both of you [18:26:42] 03river * r26868 10/trunk/tools/supybot-plugins/ (12 files in 2 dirs): two supybot plugins from #wikimedia-toolserver's bot: one to fetch bugs from JIRA, and one to search pages in Confluence [18:28:01] Why doesn't the category pager use the same interface as the AllArticles pager, which is clearly superior? [18:28:47] x99, probably because the latter didn't exist when the category pager was done, but I say that without having looked at either. [18:29:17] In what ways do you think it's superior, specifically? [18:29:46] x99 maybe also because Special:Allpages doesn't have to worry about keeping subcategories and member articles separate [18:29:52] arvernes good [18:33:31] he [18:35:17] 03(mod) LanguageHy cleanup - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11731 +comment (10niklas.laxstrom) [18:36:09] I want to have the following: a wiki link, which directs to an article in the current namespace if it exists, or to an article in the other namespace if that exists, or to the edit page for the article in the current namespace, if neither exists... through an extension / parser function [18:36:19] any tips on how I could implement this? [18:39:38] lch write an extension ;) [18:39:45] I am [18:39:49] Ah [18:39:58] See www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extensions [18:40:07] I know how to write an extension :P [18:40:17] Oh :P [18:40:18] I want to get tips how to actually implement this thing [18:40:25] Err well [18:40:41] First check that whether the article in namespace A exists [18:41:02] yes, that's the idea... question is, is this all possible through parser functions alone? [18:41:07] Sure [18:41:19] $title = new Title(NS_A, $text); [18:41:33] if($title->exists()) output_a_link_to_$title(); [18:41:39] mhm yes [18:41:51] $titleb = new Title(NS_B, $text); [18:42:04] if($titleb->exists()) output_a_link_to_$titleb(); [18:42:14] else output_a_link_to_$title(); [18:42:19] Roughly [18:42:39] You can create links with Linker::makeKnownLinkObj() [18:43:02] http://svn.wikimedia.org/doc/classLinker.html#cae40ac5815c227135306cb5dc12266d and http://svn.wikimedia.org/doc/classLinker.html#f08f16d58facb7014b32f43d4d6748eb [18:43:14] what you mean is that I have to create a new parser tag, though, right? [18:43:20] I was thinking of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Parser_function [18:43:45] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:ParserFunctions#.23ifexist: [18:43:52] hah [18:43:54] thanks [18:46:31] re [18:46:49] Simetrical: !!!!!!!!!!! [18:47:35] Nikerabbit, ??????????? [18:47:41] Notice: Undefined variable: this in /home/nike/public_html/dev/includes/User.php on line 530
[18:47:51] you don't have $this in static functions [18:48:02] *Simetrical sighs dramatically [18:48:08] I know I should have tested that. [18:48:54] Simetrical: that's why we run wikis from svn :D [18:49:08] 03simetrical * r26869 10/trunk/phase3/ (docs/hooks.txt includes/User.php): There's no such thing as $this in static functions. Thanks, Nikerabbit. [18:49:54] piksi, still here? Slight change made to the hook, it should have the $this/$user parameter. [18:50:00] Shouldn't. [18:51:43] Simetrical: yes, i'm here. your patch has been very helpful :-) [18:52:22] piksi, make the change I just committed in r26869 to remain compatible, otherwise it will break on upgrade. There's no $this in static functions, as Nikerabbit points out. [18:52:41] So the parameters passed to the hook need to change. It won't affect your particular extension, of course. [18:57:35] Nikerabbit: BetaWiki localizations are exported to MediaWiki daily, right? [18:58:57] Are they? That would be neat. [18:59:06] Good for motivation. [18:59:15] Even if it clogs up my inbox a bit. [18:59:25] Pathoschild: yes except our hard-working human is unable to :) [18:59:30] +when [19:00:42] Is it done automatically, or do you run a maintenance script, or export languages individually? [19:01:05] Pathoschild: needs much human works [19:01:10] *Shanel exports Pathoschild. [19:01:16] 03catrope * r26870 10/trunk/extensions/ChangeAuthor/ChangeAuthor.body.php: ChangeAuthor: Performance fix, preventing unnecessary calls to Revision::getTitle() which caused repetitive DB queries [19:02:03] Siebrand does that, right? [19:04:03] RoanKattouw, in both cases, implementing what I want as parser function or as parser tag: how do I found out what the "current" namespace is, or what the originating article is which text is getting parsed? [19:04:30] lch assuming you do this as an extension, you'd be able to do $wgTitle->getNamespace() [19:04:33] s/found/find/ [19:04:38] cool [19:04:42] $wgTitle->getPrefixedText(), etc. [19:04:43] extension it is then [19:04:53] http://svn.wikimedia.org/doc/classTitle.html [19:05:05] yeah [19:05:09] Everything you can do with the $wgTitle object (and other Title objects FTM) [19:05:19] Pathoschild: how so? [19:05:46] and $wgTitle is the current article whose text is being parsed when my parser hooks get active, okay [19:06:06] Nikerabbit: How so what? [19:06:13] Pathoschild: why are you asking? [19:06:50]
