[00:20:28] ah sweet [00:20:32] no DB updates. [00:21:15] I just updated includes/User.php changed the a line so it just points to WISEdocs and doesn't even do a lookup in the DB [00:21:18] o happy day [00:24:55] thanks all [00:58:33] Simetrical: you'll like this... http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000997.html [01:01:59] 03david * r28402 10/trunk/extensions/LiquidThreads/LqtPages.php: Fixed diff bug?

[01:21:44] hi all... is it possible to change a certain word in the whole of a mediawiki? [01:23:30] tokyoahead, I'm not sure [01:23:55] would there by a SQL instruction to do that I wonder? [01:24:11] That was going to be my next idea [01:24:33] You could dump the database and then use a program like BBedit or Notepad++ to find and repalce [01:25:01] ah true [01:25:10] maybe thats the best [01:25:24] Anyone know the direct link to the user log in page. [01:25:39] Special:Userlogin [01:25:48] index.php/Special:Userlogin [01:27:03] That's what I thought, but still can't get in [01:27:12] huh? [01:27:16] http://www.ourpropertytaxes.com [01:27:27] installed actually from the Wikihow source [01:27:51] is the wiki in the document root? [01:27:59] yes [01:28:35] it says it's temporarily unavailable [01:30:33] Right. I'm trying to log in to shut that message off [01:32:57] I'm not getting any other errors, but this was a manual install. [01:33:29] that page is not a genuin mediawiki message. so you need to ask whoever wrote that [01:33:43] anyway, putting stuff into the document root is generally not recommended. [01:33:46] !rewriteproblems [01:33:46] a) do not put the files into the document root b) do not map the pages into the document root c) use different pathes for real files and virtual pages d) do not set a RewriteBase e) but all rules into the .htacces in the document root. [01:43:37] I learned my less on ELGG about mod_rewrites... [01:44:07] Unfortunately, this is a project I'm taking over from someone that apparently screwed everything up.

[04:31:51] 03david * r28407 10/trunk/extensions/LiquidThreads/ (LqtPages.php lqt.css): Major aesthetic improvement to top of talkpages. (But doesn't work on all browsers yet, including Firefox). [04:33:10] it has a mailing list and public forums: http://sourceforge.net/projects/semediawiki [04:33:16] you may be better off asking there [04:33:38] hmm... also has a channel: #semantic-mediawiki [04:47:08] Anyone run across a file called PatolHelper.php in the includes directory? [04:48:12] er... nothing in my copy of MW or in SVN [04:50:45] MZMcBride: thank you [04:50:52] yep [04:51:14] #semantic-mediawiki is very unpopulated :P [04:53:08] yeah :) may have better luck with docs or the mailing list [04:53:18] or, if you haven't already, you could try googling [04:56:17] i tried googling and the docs [04:56:25] i am not very familiar with mailing lists [04:56:35] try the forums? [04:56:41] There is one item on Google, and it's the same issue that I'm having. [04:57:02] It's a fork of the wiki code and it looks like this is a missing hack file [04:57:25] a developer said in the forums that they dont use it too much [05:06:42] My MW 1.5.1 has been hacked and I need help recovering. In what table/field is a page set as "protected"? [05:08:09] When I try to edit or rollback the page, it says, "this page has been locked to prevent editing" [05:14:59] Genki: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Database_layout [05:15:06] thank you. [05:15:41] welcome. [05:17:26] Yes, I have already looked there. Since I'm using 1.5, I looked at the "pages" table. It refers to a field named "page_restrictions" but the explanation is insufficient. [05:20:50] MZMcBride: found it. it's hardcoded... :/ next update i have to change it again [05:21:07] :) [05:21:29] at least you found a solution [05:26:15] yep [05:26:27] the smw source is very easy to read [05:26:31] good work [06:28:36] in MW 1.5.1, in folder wiki/config, is index.php necessary? [06:30:07] not after you've installed the wiki; the entire config folder should be deleted once it's no longer needed for security reasons [06:36:13] anyone with good knowledge of DPL i could use your assistance [06:40:23] thank you, again! [07:28:18] TimStarling: so in reference to the conversation from your yesterday, just add new functionality in an extension if you can, it should be faster and more maintainable than the equivalent build using templates... [07:37:08] it takes a lot of time to review an extension [07:37:16] and a lot of trust to put one on the site without reviewing it [07:37:18] i mean, just for a private site [07:37:21] sure sure [07:37:33] well, this i'm writing myself [07:37:45] the templates just become unmaintainable so fast [07:40:06] On my shared Linux server, I want to ensure that security for my wiki is set appropriately. Is it okay to set the GROUP and WORLD permissions for my files as "rwx rw- r--"? [07:41:47] Genki: 664 is fine, except for images which should be 666 [07:42:03] assuming the group is sufficiently small [07:42:18] if g+w gives access to everyone on the server, then maybe that's not a good idea [07:43:18] It's a shared hosting account. I am the "owner" and the "group". There is no one in my group that I know about; I admin and that's it. [07:44:16] conventionally you would use 644 then [07:44:31] 03siebrand * r28408 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/ (9 files): [07:44:31] Localisation updates from Betawiki.

[07:45:14] directories obviously need to be executable, that's basically the same as a read permission on unix [07:45:36] the images directory should be world-writable if you want uploads [07:45:48] great.

You can edit MediaWiki:Sidebar to change it [07:55:39] ok. the problem is that I'm porting a wiki to a new site, the old site crashed but I have an export and the old database. [07:56:40] So, uh, what's the problem? If you have the old database it will all be there when you import it. [07:57:13] re [08:01:53] <_wooz> lo [08:02:15] hi _wooz [08:02:29] <_wooz> hi amidaniel|away o) [08:08:23] Tim: FYI, I had to set the directories to 755 in order for the wiki to work. [08:08:28] amidaniel|away: well, I don't have database import capabilities. but I'm getting there, thanks [08:17:02] jelle: Aha, well that surely makes it a tad more difficult :) [08:17:57] it does, but I found an old sidebar that I can use, so I'm happy already [08:18:04] thanks though [08:21:06] Ah, okay. Well, for future reference, you're probably going to want to do queries like select old_text from page,text where page_title = 'Sidebar' and page_namespace = '8' and old_id = page_latest; [08:21:21] Or just import it into a different mediawiki install and dig out the pages you need [08:29:57] Can someone help me to install mediawiki? [08:31:48] Is it possible to make things like "discussion", "view source", etc. make disappear? [09:05:54] MediaWiki gives a blank page due to a memory error; [09:06:03] where? [09:06:16] because of the shared hosting invironment I'm not able to change the memory limit (now 16 MB). [09:06:23] On an image page. [09:06:46] Is it posisble to remove the image? [09:06:46] maybe that's because the image is too large? [09:07:03] It was only 600 kB (submitted by an user) [09:07:21] http://your-hosting.com/path/to/wiki/Image:Image_name?action=delete&wpReason=too%20large%20image [09:07:30] Is it possible to make things like "discussion", "view source", etc. make disappear? [09:08:00] DrMeissner, if you get rid of them completely, you will lose functionality [09:08:04] Could I do this as a Bureaucrat or should I be logged in as WikiSysop [09:08:27] s000501, you need any account with sysop rights (Bureaucrat should have this, I guess) [09:08:58] DrMeissner, but anyway, it's possible to do it in MediaWiki:Common.css (and you can do it even for specified pages) [09:09:48] DrMeissner, for example, #ca-talk {display:none} will hide the "discussion" tab [09:09:52] It is possible to make it only disappear for non login users? [09:10:18] btw, im sorry for my bad english [09:10:23] uhrm... no, I think :( [09:11:05] your English is readable, and this is enough. you don't use these stupid abbreviations (and thank you for that) [09:12:32] DrMeissner, for hiding this from users who haven't logged in, you can try JavaScript [09:14:02] I can try JavaScript? That sounds difficult [09:15:39] enhydra: great! It worked out. I'll make a note of this. [09:16:12] s000501, np :) [09:16:32] DrMeissner, add this: http://pastey.net/78873 to the beginning of your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.js [09:16:49] The style of the headlines in the navigationbar - can i change them in the main.css? [09:16:58] oh thanks, i will try [09:17:11] DrMeissner, *** http://pastey.net/78874 [09:17:39] I forgot one critical ! in 78873 [09:17:48] And... in previous versions when an user lands on a redirection page with says "Back to Main Page" it also actually redirects in a couple of seconds." [09:18:03] But in my installation MediaWiki 1.11.0 it fails. [09:18:51] DrMeissner, surely you can. you can find IDs in HTML code [09:21:31] s000501, it seems to be removed from MediaWiki functionality [09:21:55] :( [09:22:12] (But it's ok, probably with a good reason.) [09:22:27] because of it's annoyance, I guess [09:22:52] personally I didn't like that feature :) [09:23:04] Then I will take it like an improvement! :D [09:37:25] Thanks enhydra, but the script doesent work. Probably i´m to stupid [09:37:37] could you provide an url to it? [09:38:58] No, im sorry. Its on a server in the intranet of my company [09:39:05] behind a firewall etc :( [09:40:13] I tryed both, and restart my webserver too. Did i anything wrong? [09:47:59] DrMeissner_, have you cleaned your cache? [10:02:41] can I prevent new users from registering? [10:13:05] !access | jelle [10:13:05] jelle: For information on customizing user access, see . For common examples of restricting access using both rights and extensions, see . [10:16:46] I had problems with my connection. I will cleane the cache again now. [10:19:09] Clean the cache of my browser? Or do something with my wik? For example: purge etc [10:21:22] Duesentrieb_: great [10:35:47] enhydra: I change successfully the headlines :) thanks lot [10:36:09] np :) [10:38:00] wikibugs: heello? [10:38:13] died yesterday :( [10:38:18] too bad [10:46:31] Is it possible to remove users without using extensions or tinkering with the database? I'm using 1.11.0. [10:47:11] !deleteuser | Snigelinux [10:47:11] Snigelinux : Deleting users is very messy and not recommended, because this breaks referential integrity in the database (they appear in many different tables like users, edit histories, recentchanges, preferences, etc). A safe solution is to block the users, and possibly rename them with . You can also try [10:47:57] Thank you very much. [11:00:41] enhydra: Your script should work with a german version of mediawiki too? or? [11:01:07] DrMeissner_, it's language-independent (id's are always same) [11:02:21] That tought i :( [11:02:35] oh if I could see it... [11:02:46] and it works with all versions? [11:02:51] yes [11:03:24] could you paste the full contents of your wiki's Common.js? [11:03:37] (MediaWiki:Common.js, i.e.) [11:03:47] here?

[11:20:32] ah, NavFrames [11:20:44] Gary_Kirk, are you an admin on Meta?

[12:08:19] domas, indeed. [12:10:10] btw, does mediawiki always render each page on the request through all the extensions or does it create a static html render of the page when it is saved? [12:10:40] it saves rendered page into parser cache [12:11:28] piksi: if you're new to mediawiki, you might want to look at http://dammit.lt/2007/01/26/mediawiki-performance-tuning/ ;-) [12:24:15] domas: thanks, i'l look into it :-) [12:39:22] Hello [12:42:18] Hello [12:43:51] Hello again [12:48:03] ¿sɪɥʇ səop ʇɐɥʇ uoɪsuəʇxə ɪʞɪʍɐɪpəɯ ɐ uɪ pəʇsəɹəʇuɪ əʍ əɹɐ [12:48:05] didn't think so [12:49:52] lol [12:51:05] enhydra? are you still there?

[13:47:44] !extensions | jurasiks [13:47:44] jurasiks: MediaWiki has been built so it can easily be customized by adding extensions. This is usually a simple process. See for instructions to install extensions, as well as for writing them. See for an overview of known extensions. [13:47:50] read the FAQ, people... [13:48:41] it's hard to install them? [13:48:47] more than 5 mins? [13:49:26] not for me... [13:54:00] Which file do I have to change to restrict who edits the database? LocalSettings?

[14:07:04] remember: red links are good! [14:07:28] ? [14:07:33] so what i need to do? [14:08:10] just start with main page?
