[00:00:56] moment [00:01:11] *Simetrical looks for how to use that spiffy subpage notation . . . although it's not clear how to have that be the target of a form, alas [00:01:26] scapping [00:01:44] Simetrical: can't really do that without js hackery no :) [00:01:52] you can accept as input though easily [00:01:54] Oh well, I can still support it. [00:01:57] should be the parameter give to execute() [00:06:54] 03brion * r29247 10/trunk/extensions/SemanticForms/languages/SF_LanguageZh_cn.php: This looks completely wrong, but it now matches SF_LanguageZh_tw.php and compiles, so no longer blocks general software updates. [00:09:18] *Morbus waves. [00:11:11] How fascinating. I somehow made it so that I can change user rights, but *only if I submit the form twice*. [00:11:42] Or more specifically, there is a delay of one form submit after I actually specify what I want to change, and it actually acts on it. [00:11:46] *Simetrical scratches his head [00:13:10] o_O [00:15:31] 03siebrand * r29248 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/MessagesVo.php: Add date formatting [00:15:54] No, it only takes two form submits for the changes to display. I see. [00:17:03] $user->getGroups() isn't returning correct info, somehow. [00:17:35] Very strange. [00:17:42] incorrect how? [00:18:38] It's outdated. [00:18:42] But wait, I see. [00:18:56] In trunk it doesn't reprint the whole form when you submit changes? [00:19:02] It just prints the selector thing? [00:20:21] *Skizzerz_Away considers opening up a Userrights feature request [00:20:34] There we go. [00:20:39] Skizzerz_Away, what would it be, while I'm working on it [00:20:39] ? [00:21:00] ability to search by group as well as search by username [00:21:21] brion, what's the point of RELEASE-NOTES notes that deal with fixing intra-release regressions? [00:21:29] Simetrical: yes, it just goes back to the username input form which is a bit annoying [00:21:31] Just to, like, show readers that we really fix lots of bugs, honest? [00:21:34] Simetrical: sure :D [00:21:48] brion, okay, well, now it will redisplay the whole form so you can see your changes worked. [00:21:53] Skizzerz_Away, what do you mean? [00:21:58] not everyone only tracks releases, you know [00:22:19] ok, putting a username into the search form returns all of that user's groups (as it should) [00:22:40] *Skizzerz_Away is proposing adding in an option to search by GROUP name to return all the users in that group [00:23:09] Skizzerz_Away, return all the users in that group how? The form only supports changing one user at a time. [00:23:24] *Skizzerz_Away knows [00:23:40] I'm thinking perhaps linking said names to the userrights form for that name [00:23:44] *for that user [00:24:21] Maybe we should just have userrights links on Special:Listusers? [00:24:33] perhaps... idk [00:28:43] 03simetrical * r29249 10/trunk/phase3/includes/SpecialUserrights.php: [00:28:43] More userrights stuff. [00:28:43] * Use GET, not POST, when searching for user. [00:28:43] * Allow subpage syntax. [00:28:43] * Display the form to change rights when you submit a change, so that you can see its effect and adjust if necessary without hitting "search user" again. [00:28:45] * Clean up form names a bit so that they look pretty in the URL bar. [00:29:12] I actually don't think it's a good idea to have userrights on the user list. Too narrow-purpose. [00:29:18] On user pages, sure. [00:29:26] In the toolbox or wherever we put this stuff. [00:29:56] Oh, right, forgot release notes for that last commit. [00:30:30] Ugh, I don't want to mess with the toolbar, MonoBook.php is a mess. [00:30:34] *Simetrical stabs [00:33:51] 03simetrical * r29250 10/trunk/phase3/RELEASE-NOTES: RELEASE-NOTES [00:36:40] I need to install CheckUser but I don't have access to the command line [00:37:46] brion: http://bugs.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12374 if you missed it [00:53:01] How do I install CheckUser without command line access? [00:53:26] you could attempt to create all the tables, etc. manually, but it'd be a pain [00:54:15] but how will it work? [00:54:28] should I just upload the files and do the queries myself? [00:55:34] *Skizzerz has never tried it, so... [00:55:43] oh, you might want to look into PHP Shell [00:55:51] ? [00:56:15] I don't think I have access. [00:56:24] KemCab: All that you should need to do is execute the queries in the install.inc (or whatever it's called) and then update your local settings [01:00:12] There aren't any queries in it. [01:00:42] However there are two SQL files, should I just run them? [01:03:34] Simetrical: form changes look good! [01:03:42] *brion syncs it out [01:03:53] Amazing, I didn't cause eight different bugs this time! [01:03:56] Yet! [01:04:02] :D [01:05:25] maybe there time activated bugs, you know the ones that only activate once its released into the wild... [01:08:12] Is there any way to just grab a diff via the api?

[01:23:53] I'm wondering how on earth can this work [01:23:54] We don't need &$user as a param anymore, right? [01:23:57] It should just be $user? [01:24:19] objects are passed by reference in php5 [01:24:28] Seems like I didn't set error_reporting on this install. [01:24:31] Won't happen again. [01:25:05] Was thinking of trying to make twinkle into a gadget, but atm it's too restrictive :( [01:25:15] would need something like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AzaToth/X3 [01:25:27] 03simetrical * r29251 10/trunk/phase3/includes/SpecialPage.php: Remove useless & that was breaking strict standards.

[01:26:58] I was hoping to figure out how to set my mediawiki to automagically return users to the previous page after login [01:27:42] Skizzerz replied to my forum post about it at mwusers.com, but I don't understand where to enable it still [01:31:08] ohai [01:31:19] *Skizzerz checks [01:31:40] 'Ello, mna [01:31:41] man* [01:31:45] Do you need a link?

[01:33:04] er, actually a link might be nice [01:33:15] http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=21118#post21118 [01:33:34] when was wfLoadExtensionMessages added? [01:33:35] ok [01:33:36] I see the "returnto" parameter in the link, but I guess it's just not working on my installation [01:33:52] it should be enabled by default, is the parameter not working for you? [01:34:22] Nope [01:34:34] eg. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&returnto=Cheese [01:34:49] Yes, I heard from other users it should be enabled by default, which is why I am so bummed about it, hehe [01:34:57] then when you log in, you should be auto-redirected to Cheese [01:35:04] what version of mw? [01:35:07] THe latest [01:35:22] 1.11? [01:36:21] Correct [01:36:35] http://alventyr.com/bor/index.php?title=Special:Version [01:36:54] hmm... and how long are you waiting on the "You have now logged in" page before you give up and go elsewhere [01:37:22] because IIRC it doesn't redirect right away, it takes a few seconds [01:38:05] I will sit there and watch it, then have a brain anurism [01:38:14] It won't budge [01:38:42] hmm, there might be a config variable that controls that then. [01:38:45] Not sure what sort of thing could affect it this way [01:39:41] Elrahc> I see the "returnto" parameter in the link, but I guess it's just not working on my installation <-- returnto specifies generation of the "Return to [[Pagename]]." message. [01:39:53] There are no timed redirects in MediaWiki anymore, they're bad for usability and generally annoying. [01:40:07] We never had a timed redirect on login that I remember, anyway. [01:40:45] 03nikerabbit * r29252 10/trunk/extensions/ContributionScores/ContributionScores.php: * Nothing to optimise here [01:40:46] "Return to" could still be improved, it's kind of inaccurate a lot of the time. [01:40:59] can't find a config variable for that... [01:41:01] And it could do a 302, theoretically, if it were reliable enough. Just not timed. [01:41:03] Skizzerz, there is none. [01:41:08] Yea, that is true. The other mediawiki owner I spoke with said it was kinda random [01:41:12] It was a miracle that the extension kept working even after those changes... [01:41:17] Return-to messages are just printed, not auto-followed. [01:41:24] I see [01:41:31] So it puts in the url [01:41:43] Really what we'd want is "return to the previous page and print a confirmation message at the top" for things like this. [01:42:11] See http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7129. [01:42:12] Simetrical: really? When I patrol pages on a 1.11 install, it auto-redirects to recentchanges after a bit... [01:42:15] What, saying you were moved back from signing in? [01:42:37] Skizzerz, it shouldn't. Let me look at that. [01:43:08] Elrahc, saying "You have successfully logged in" or similar. Could be omitted for login, maybe, it's fairly obvious. [01:43:26] Kind of like the AJAX-y watch notice box we have nowadays. [01:43:28] Aye [01:43:35] That would be shiny [01:44:26] Skizzerz, are you sure it auto-redirects? It's not happening for me. [01:44:35] *Skizzerz is testing again now [01:44:43] Is it browser dependent or something? [01:44:45] unfortunately the site is slower than molasses =/ [01:45:14] Elrahc, no, this is like HTML 3.0 tech here. [01:45:26] *Skizzerz tests on his 1.12a install in the meantime [01:45:29] hehe [01:46:45] Hope an update makes this an enjoyable experience. Meanwhile, I have to get back to adding stuffs to the wiki. Thanks for the assistance, though. Appreciate it, Skizzerz and Simetrical [01:47:37] No, definitely no code anywhere that redirects for patrolling that I can see. [01:47:48] hmm, yeah, it isn't redirecting [01:48:01] perhaps I was thinking back a few weeks to when it was still 1.9 :P [01:48:15] I removed some timed redirects for like 1.10ish, maybe 1.11. [01:48:18] Could be that was one.

[01:58:33] comphappy: and you followed the installation instructions exactly? [01:58:41] ok Special:Version shows it now, but the linky still does not wrk [01:59:00] yep only two lines to add [01:59:10] the require and a variable [01:59:18] that's a bit misleading, actually [01:59:28] it's pointing to the usage page on mediawiki.org [01:59:37] not that the page gets copied over in installation [01:59:59] yeah [02:00:25] try using on a page [02:00:41] what r u doin'? [02:01:53] hmm it does work, wonder why the extension page does not [02:02:17] because that's just documentation on the mediawiki.org sit [02:02:19] *site [02:02:24] not part of the extension itself [02:02:29] MrHappy: what's your issue?

[09:18:04] ask your question [09:18:08] Hey - I am <(^^,)> [09:18:10] *Moniker42 hides from DanDanDan [09:18:19] hi :) [09:18:21] :) [09:18:22] yells "no" and giggles [09:18:25] Moniker42: that's my thing [09:18:57] should i be able to copy all the content across from one wiki to another with copy and paste? [09:19:12] was wondering about how it's recommended to organise articles and things like that. I'm using mediawiki for an internal staff resource, and have a front page linking to "customers" and on there a list of customers linking off. [09:19:28] on the customer page, should they be linked as "Customers:ABC Ltd" or just "ABC Ltd"? [09:20:16] depends on how many customers you have [09:20:17] DanDanDan: depends [09:20:41] Hundreds of customers, potentially hundreds of customer pages [09:20:48] if you have thousands, then maybe some day one of them will have a name that conflicts with something else [09:21:06] with only a few hundred, I would think that situation would be fairly rare [09:21:33] Ok. So, the categories - how do they work? Do I put my customer pages in a category called "Customers" or am I missing the point of categories? [09:21:34] it's best to keep titles on wikis short and simple if possible, to encourage linking [09:21:50] yes you can put your customers into a category [09:22:11] So then I can say "show all pages in the customer category"? [09:22:17] yes [09:22:34] just by clicking the link to "customers" which appears at the bottom of each customer article [09:22:53] hmm. [09:22:55] ok. [09:22:57] what happens if i apt-get install mediawiki on ubuntu? [09:23:15] hmmmm [09:23:26] i ran that, and it doesn't seem to have done anything ;) [09:23:31] Moniker42: you get a rubbish old version installed in a way that no regular mediawiki user can understand [09:23:56] lol [09:24:22] you can get up to 1.10 [09:24:43] i think the problem is with my server and PHP... [09:25:36] yes, Synaptic is telling me the most recent version is 1.10 [09:26:08] you're better off downloading the most recent source [09:26:27] *qsheets continues moving pages via DB [09:26:30] on the other hand, i've just found a package called "wikipediafs" which might eliminate the need for me to start this server in the first place [09:26:56] it doesn't need compilation, and all the files are in the webserver document root, so the usual advantages of packages are not so relevant [09:27:10] i have a personal wiki on some cheap hosting, but the lag is silly and i want to be able to edit it locally and then upload [09:27:50] *qsheets has a personal wiki on DynDNS [09:28:22] Ok, tried that, I think I've got the hang of it now. I've redirected from "Category:Customers" to just "Customers" which was my customer index page, and that works well. Is there anything specific I should be aware of when naming and organising articles, so that I don't have a ball-ache like this to go through again? :) [09:28:53] if you redirect away from a category page, you won't be able to see the category members [09:29:04] the members appear on Category:Customers [09:29:39] I see. [09:30:08] My Customer page has got pretty company images on so I'd prefer to use that, but I'd like the Customers index also underneath - any way to add it to the page, like as a template? [09:30:42] Or should I move the content from [[Customers]] and edit the page made by [[Category:Customers]]? [09:31:05] move content [09:31:11] k [09:31:13] yes, moving would work [09:31:21] aha! [09:31:27] done it, that's pretty smart [09:31:43] put the pretty little images on each company's page [09:32:04] yeah, done that too, but I've got pretty images on the index page, which I don't think you can do on the index can you? [09:32:11] 03(NEW) Localisation of Asturian Wiktionary name - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12501 15enhancement; normal; Wikimedia: Language setup; (esguil) [09:32:23] no [09:34:05] k [09:45:05] thanks ppl, that's worked really well now :) [09:46:51] so, it turns out that the interaction of and section numbering really sucks [09:47:57] I don't suppose there's anyone here who wants to talk about the parser? [09:48:41] haha [09:48:48] I'll listen. ;) [09:48:48] I want to watch you talk about the parser [09:48:49] no thx [09:49:27] well, we've been talking a lot about parse order, but it probably makes more sense to talk about precedence, like operator precedence [09:50:03] 03(mod) Database collation settings of SMW sometimes do not match MW's - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12059 (10mak) [09:50:28] for instance, comments properly have a very high precedence [09:50:58] and templates have a higher precedence than main-pass stuff like italics [09:51:16] 03(mod) Create Crimean Tatar Wikipedia (approved by subcommittee) - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12399 (10alessandro_gor) [09:51:30] but it turns out, the things with the highest precedence of all are , and [09:52:18] so you can do things like {{foo }} and expect to break the template when it's not included [09:52:32] huh [09:52:47] who added the ? :) [09:52:50] me [09:52:59] seemed like a good idea at the time [09:53:42] so users have an expectation that these constructs have the absolute highest precedence, and it's hard to change that now [09:54:44] hello, I still have a problem with mediawiki silently failing when I import (not so) big file (10M). apache2 and php seem to be well configured. There is _no_ error message in the log files or in the browser. [09:55:02] there's a tracking bug, bug 4899, which describes a failure mode whereby clicking a section edit link would take you to the wrong section [09:55:21] I thought I had it completely fixed in the new parser [09:56:11] because I use preprocessToDom() both for section editing, and for generating section edit links, and the document tree generated is presumably the same [09:56:29] the document tree contains information about section numbering [09:57:10] the problem is, it's not the same, because before preprocessToDom() is called, includeonly/noinclude are processed [09:58:12] heh [09:58:28] the obvious solution is to bring includeonly/noinclude into the document tree, with sections and section numbering identical whether the page is being included or not [09:58:50] then you can strip out the suppressed branches when you expand the tree to text [09:59:24] but that doesn't work, because of {{foo }} [09:59:37] includeonly/noinclude can completely change the document tree [10:00:01] so then there's the alternate universe solution [10:00:42] produce two separate document trees, one for inclusion, and one for plain article display [10:01:04] but then you have section numbers in each, and no way to match up the sections [10:01:11] and it's slow [10:02:09] matching up the sections: i.e. section 5 in the include version is which section in the non-include version? [10:02:43] Quick question again, about categories ... any way to get an in-line display of articles in a category on a page? [10:02:45] is test.wp using the old or new parser? [10:02:51] old, presently [10:02:58] !dpl [10:02:58] --mwbot-- The DynamicPageList (DPL) extension outputs reports based on criteria given in a special tag. For more information, see and . [10:03:07] so solution 3: break the syntax [10:03:08] thanks :) [10:03:19] that's the one I'm thinking through at the moment [10:03:35] the question is: in what exact way should it be broken? [10:03:35] =) [10:03:42] in worst possible [10:03:47] meh, fun stuff [10:04:14] would it be feasable to disregard all headers from transclusions as potential editable 'sections'? let people add edit buttons/links manually? [10:04:15] there's lots of ways to do it [10:04:45] Splarka: remove the whole feature? [10:04:51] Splarka: i added that feature because lots of people wanted it [10:04:52] that's a pretty significant feature [10:04:55] for things like afd [10:05:05] guess not then ^_^ [10:05:19] anyway, removing it wouldn't fix the problem, because there's still [10:05:22] ahh [10:05:55] hmm [10:06:07] actually there's an interesting idea there [10:06:32] specify in the edit URL whether you're coming from a template or not [10:07:10] then extractSections() could strip includeonly/noinclude... perhaps [10:08:51] ok, we'll call that option 4 for now [10:09:00] does it win? [10:09:08] 03(ASSIGNED) Create Crimean Tatar Wikipedia (approved by subcommittee) - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12399 +comment (10jeluf) [10:09:24] not sure yet [10:10:24] option 5 is to leave it broken, and introduce {{#includeonly:}} and {{#noinclude:}} which aren't broken [10:11:03] using parser functions instead of XML tags would give the user a clear idea of precedence [10:11:35] it would be impossible to straddle closing braces like my previous example [10:12:04] then maybe at some stage in the future, we could drop the XML-style tags [10:14:24] that's one of the problems with XML: syntatically, it doesn't imply a tree structure [10:14:44] you can write foobar [10:15:15] and the user will expect the computer to DWIM because it's perfectly obvious to any human what is meant by that [10:16:14] hmm, mixing in tags seems to do interesting and inconsistent things to transcluded editable sections too [10:16:23] do what I mean: foobar [10:17:33] what do you mean XML doesn't imply a tree structure? [10:17:42] as in, really? [10:18:21] well, the standard does obviously [10:18:56] aha, a ==Foo== in a transclusion implies an editable section in the template, but a

foo

thinks it is in the viewed page [10:19:04] but it has names for its close tags, e.g. [10:19:18] and that implies that you have some choice over which element you're closing [10:19:25] when in fact in a tree, there's only ever one choice [10:19:57] why were

tags made into editable sections? way back in 1.4 (?) it was a nice feature to be able to have ineditable headers with them [10:20:19] they're not editable in the new parser [10:20:27] sweet! [10:20:36] *Splarka ignores the bug then [10:21:13] in the old parser, there's about 100 of these section numbering bugs [10:21:17] you don't have to try hard to find one [10:22:49] I still believe, that adding 'reply' link to every paragraph in talk pages is slightly more viable, than moving to LQT :) [10:26:02] maybe XML should do away with names in close tags, and just use [10:26:44] or something [10:26:55] i wish XML inherited more of SGML [10:27:01] the hey, so SGML does actually allow ?

[12:55:04] be carefull about the implications for url-rewriting though [12:55:14] aha [12:55:19] there was the probs [12:55:31] AzaTht: No, allusers is not a generator [12:55:33] Duesentrieb: I get the error each time [12:55:38] RoanKattouw: saw that [12:55:47] AzaTht: looking [12:56:06] AzaTht: yes. i wonder why... [12:56:38] RoanKattouw: basically, a way to grab user data for one or more users would be useful [12:56:47] AzaTht: Yes, just thinking that [12:56:51] One user is no problem [12:57:05] list=allusers&auprefix=AzaTht&auprop=groups [12:57:14] Which isn't ideal either [12:57:32] RoanKattouw: the users would probably be taken from the revisions [12:57:37] Or action=changerights&user=AzaTht&listgroups [12:57:44] Either way, it's just one user [12:57:50] yea [12:57:55] We do need a way to bulk-retrieve user data [12:58:37] 04(REOPENED) &action= raw to allow the raw for just a named section to be returned - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12503 summary; +comment (10FT2.wiki) [12:58:56] perhaps some sort of usergenerator?

[12:59:26] Duesentrieb: and yea, I need a mostly total rewrite of Gadgets [12:59:44] AzaTht: hm, whot? [13:00:07] Duesentrieb: made a short requierments list on the gadgets talk page [13:00:26] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Gadgets#Substantial_addition [13:01:27] 03(mod) &action= raw to allow the raw for just a named section to be returned - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12503 (10roan.kattouw) [13:01:31] RoanKattouw: and a thing I have been thinking about: you can login via the api, but you cannot logout? [13:01:44] AzaTht: logout = drop your cookies [13:02:12] AzaTht: not going to happen any time soon. well, some bits are already there, some i have thought about, and some are no-go [13:02:20] TimLaqua: questionable content? eh? ;) [13:02:21] RoanKattouw: aren't you still "logged in"? [13:02:33] Duesentrieb: what's no go? [13:02:55] AzaTht: Maybe, I'd have to check what SpecialUserlogout.php does [13:03:10] browser detection, complex preferences, admins removing stuff from individual users. [13:03:22] TimLaqua: it's "just" about movies, available at your local Best Buy, for example. [13:03:44] Duesentrieb: that's really sad [13:04:08] perhaps we must scrap gadgets for something more useful then :( [13:04:20] feel free to write it [13:04:35] Is there a way to do "Put the contents of Template:X here in nowiki format"? [13:04:54] complex prefs would be nice to have, but very very tricky. can't think of a good way to do it. i'd be happy to use it if someone provided it. [13:04:58] inclusion obviously won't work inside [13:05:03] the other two seems an inheritely bad idea to me. [13:05:05] AzaTht: action=logout and some way to retrieve user data are on my TODO list [13:05:16] RoanKattouw: nice [13:06:01] Duesentrieb: browser detection I can agree with [13:06:25] but for some modules, some sort of oversight could be useful [13:06:37] pointless [13:06:44] people can always manually install them [13:06:54] depends on whom aguing ツ [13:06:57] if a user misbehaves, he gets blocked. period. [13:07:15] I agree with that, but a lot of other people disagree [13:07:29] *shrug* [13:08:03] if we had a system in place that would manage flexible "feature blocking", it would be sane to make the Gadgets extension interact with that. [13:08:08] but do you think bundles could be implemented easly? [13:08:29] but it does not make sense to implement that as part of Gadgets. nor does it seem a good idea to me anyway, so i'm not going to do it [13:08:46] twinkle is made up of 10+ modules, and each module is using the same library [13:08:50] bundles... well, it depends [13:08:53] Duesentrieb: agree [13:09:05] you can already have a gadget that simply combines several others. [13:09:12] I know [13:09:13] but the UI would not handle it specially. [13:09:27] adding support for that... hm, not easily. possible. [13:09:31] problem is that not everyone wants everything [13:09:35] one problem is: more obscure magic syntax to define it. [13:09:52] having a version for each permutation would be idiotic imo [13:09:55] ooops, gotta go [13:09:56] sry [13:10:15] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AzaToth/X3 [13:10:23] Hello the room (i am french, sorry).

How at 1.11 it would be possible to make that the admin received notices on all changes of pages by users, and also on their (pages) creation? :) [14:08:29] Artlayers: the simples way is to use the RSS feed from Special:Recentchanges [14:08:42] have the admin subscribe to special:recentchanges via rss? ;) [14:08:59] here's also the mw -> udp -> irc interface [14:09:10] i think there's also an extension that sends mail on every change. not sure. [14:09:36] Artlayers: go to Special:Recentchanges, then click RSS. The Russian Wikipedia RSS feed (for instance) is here: http://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D0%A1%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F:Recentchanges&feed=rss [14:10:02] You can subscribe to it with an RSS reader (for links, look up "RSS" on Wikipedia) [14:10:16] :) thanks! [14:11:29] besides modifying the templates, there's no way to include another JS file into the Monobook output, is there? I know I can do inline JS in Common.js, but I need to load a remote script. [14:17:10] Morbus: you can load js from js, using document.write - not pretty, but it works [14:17:25] hrm. that's an interesting idea. [14:17:52] it's pretty standard. only problem with it is that it's loaded out out sequence, iirc [14:17:59] *out of sequence [14:18:53] so that'd work inside Common.js?

[14:29:21] FT2: action=edit§ion=0 behaves as expected: confirmed [14:29:35] yup [14:29:43] what about &action=raw§ion=0 [14:29:43] action=raw§ion=0 returns entire page: confirmed as well [14:29:56] do you get a dump of the whole (multi section) article, or just the first section? [14:29:59] I suggest you go ahead and file ;) [14:30:03] thanks [14:30:06] The entire article, all sections [14:30:12] may I quote you as having checked it? [14:31:48] err, afaik section=x only has an effect for qaction=edit [14:31:54] does it do anything for action=raw? [14:31:57] did it ever?

[15:00:06] yes [15:00:54] doesn't seem to be any of them. i had only used spamblacklist and parserfuncs in the past, so i'm assuming one of them required it before, maybe' [15:01:18] I don't think they need it [15:01:18] is anybody using successfully the email function in his mw°?

[15:02:18] own server [15:02:26] mondschein: can you try sending mail from a simple php test script? [15:03:18] mondschein: oh own server... well, do you have an MTA? i.e. sendmail, or something compatible like exim or postfix? [15:03:25] is it configured correctly? is it working? [15:03:33] well i tried to get an temporary password for a test user...but i received no email from my wiki...it's the same?! like a php test script!? [15:03:50] no, it's not the same. [15:03:59] and... did you set up an MTA? [15:04:00] mhm wait i'm not so good in englisch [15:04:41] ich sprech auch deutsch, wenn das hilft [15:04:54] actually smtp and everything is already working...like the server works already as email thing for other things... [15:05:00] super! [15:05:23] ehm naja also das is so...das der server auf dem mein wiki liegt auch schon als smtp genutzt wird [15:05:41] aber halt für andere sachen, d.h. in dem bereich müsst ich nix machen oder!? [15:06:02] aber php greift nicht per smtp auf die mail-funktion zu (es sei denn, du sagst ihm das extra). es benutzt das sendmail interface [15:06:12] versuche mal, sendmail auf der kommandozeile zu verwenden. [15:06:55] oh in solchen sachen bin ich nciht besonders stark bis jetzt...also einfach terminal auf und sendmail!? [15:07:12] Recipient names must be specified [15:07:16] kommst dann [15:08:48] hm, ich weis das auch nicht mehr auswendig - ich glaube, sendmail name, enter, dann der header, dann 'ne leerzeile, dann der text, dann ctrl-d [15:08:56] das ist jedenfalls das interface, das php verwendet [15:08:57] das muss tun [15:09:40] ansonsten... schreib dir ein kleines php script, das einfach mit der "mail" funktion was verschickt, und schau, ob das tut. kannst du auch als kommandozeile-script machen, muss nicht per web sein [15:09:50] oder aber mach's ganz anders: [15:10:01] sag mediawiki dass es smtp verwenden soll. das ist halt langsam. [15:10:03] !smtp [15:10:03] --mwbot-- I don't know anything about "smtp". [15:10:07] o_O [15:11:17] mhm mit smtp hab ich es die ganze zeit versucht...mhm..gibt es nciht irgendwo ne gute doku oder checkliste wo man das mal anchlesen kann wie das in mw funzt und so!? weil ich hab gegoogled aber keine hilfreichen sachen gefunden nur enotif extension, aber dafür muss die email funktion erstma so hinhauen.. :-( [15:11:47] sorry hab immer ziemlich viele tippfehler drin [15:11:51] nein gibt es nicht, weil's da mediawiki-mässig nichts zu checken gibt [15:11:59] entweder php kann sendmail nutzen, oder nicht. [15:12:21] mhm und der ganz email kram is bei 1.10 per default auf true!? [15:14:11] oder muss man die variablen alle selber konfigurieren!? weil ich dachte die email sache ist per default auf aus gesetzt [15:15:41] In wiki tables, is it possible to give every cell the same width? [15:17:46] mondschein: sorry... mon sollte so einen laptop auch einstöpseln :/ [15:18:30] hö!? [15:18:48] er hat sich abgeschaltet. desshalb war ich plötzlichweg [15:19:02] egal [15:19:07] ach so :-) dachte schon meine frage war mal wieder zu doof oder so [15:19:08] mhm und der ganz email kram is bei 1.10 per default auf true!?

[15:40:27] True, you should probably use the rev running on Wikipedia [15:40:28] RoanKattouw: thanks! [15:40:42] That's r29250 [15:41:02] ich weiß nciht genau wie ich da anfangen muss :-(...bzw. was du damit meinst [15:41:39] just checked it... I'll grab it from SVN [15:45:18] I can't see a REL1_12 folder, only up to REL1_11? [15:47:49] use /trunk/phase3 [15:50:03] thanks [15:51:35] AphelionZ: REL is for "release". there is no 1.12 release. [15:51:39] yet [15:51:48] i see [15:55:22] What does everyone think of abstracting the page/revision data getting/setting inside of Article.php and Revision.php into another layer? [15:56:11] Dantman can you be more specific? [15:56:17] 03siebrand * r29272 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/ (19 files): Localisation updates for core messages from Betawiki (2008-01-04 16:36 CET) [15:57:07] I don't know what we'd call it, but instead of Article.php and Revision.php calling direct DB gets/sets they'd call functions inside of another class which would do that. [15:57:38] That class could be pluggable or something... [15:57:45] Here's the point. [15:58:16] The idea is to allow for extensions to serve up page data instead of it being directly grabbed from the database 100% of the time. [15:58:22] So for examples: [15:58:51] An extension could grab file text from a file on the server instead of from a database, and save data back to that file. [15:59:05] Thereby allowing for some extensions to allow file editing via MediaWiki abilities [15:59:09] Or, [15:59:21] the external storage layer already does somethign like this. [15:59:26] Dantman: why can't you use Article class instead of making DB queries directly? [15:59:31] probably not easy to abuse by extensions, though [16:01:04] hmm [16:01:05] Dantman: extensions can use the ArticleFromTitle hook to inject whatever article implementation they like [16:02:45] Ok [16:03:11] hmmm..... oohhh, that's what that one was for [16:03:27] ^_^ Nice to see replacing the article class is actually supported already [16:04:03] But what about how Title.php has the move functions hardcoded into it? Any way to override that? [16:04:32] Dantman: no, but you may introduce a new hook [16:04:42] Sounds like a good idea [16:05:30] But rather than just overriding the move functions, something like a TitleFromTitle hook... To allow someone to replace the title with a subclass that overrides things. [16:06:26] You may use TitleAfterMove hook [16:09:20] what does it mean when i try to load a page and all I see is invalidtitle: bad title [16:10:00] frieze The title of the page you're trying to load contains invalid characters [16:10:15] and it it doesn't? [16:10:30] What's the title? [16:10:34] the page worked 5 minutes ago and I haven't renamed it [16:10:47] Weird [16:10:49] What's the title? [16:10:57] Template:Infobox_Hypothesis_dpl2 [16:11:13] That should work [16:11:22] On which wiki does this problem occur? [16:11:26] and when I try to use the template the including page does teh same thing [16:11:31] it's closed off [16:11:46] url? [16:12:14] VasilievVV: But TitleMoveComplete is run after the move is finished (We don't want DB stuff running if the extension is handling the move), and AbortMove will stop extension moving from even happening. [16:12:19] weird [16:12:33] I just manually typed in the edit url and now it works [16:12:53] Good [16:13:07] You probably typed a | or something similar in there [16:14:26] I think it's actually a parser function I wrote making it angry [16:16:04] it's using an internal api request to get info on a page and I think it's jsut passing the page title request in a way it doesn't like [16:17:06] Im having a little problem... I have set up the wiki to do the short URL such as name.com/Page_Title using the alias /w root access method... Everything is working, except it appears my skin is doa now... In my httpd.conf,I have the line : Alias /skins /srv/www/htdocs/wiki/skins/ which doesnt seem to work... however this one does : Alias /index.php /srv/www/htdocs/wiki/index.php/ does [16:18:14] is there an easy way to have code in a template (in this case a parser function) that will only get evaluated when a template is transcluded, not when it is viewed on its own page? [16:19:07] AndrewBuis: that's because your fake wiki directory and your skin directory overlap [16:19:09] That's *evil( [16:19:26] You should Alias /wiki /w/index.php , then everything will be fine [16:19:28] frieze: Stick as part of the output? [16:19:50] frieze put it in tags [16:19:51] so take out the skins alias? [16:19:56] AndrewBuis no [16:20:02] Just change the / alias [16:20:17] ahh thanks [16:20:25] i knew it wasn't nowiki, but something like that [16:24:17] hmm... physical directory is : "/srv/www/htdocs/wiki/" I have the lines "Alias /skins /srv/www/htdocs/wiki/skins/", "Alias /index.php /srv/www/htdocs/wiki/index.php/" and "Alias / /srv/www/htdocs/wiki/index.php/" Taking out the / line gets me a 404 [16:29:37] One other problem I am having... I have gotten the Sphinx Search extension added into the wiki... however, my apache2 error_log is getting spammed with Undefined variable: wgSphinxSearchPersonalDictionary... the sphinxsearch.php file has a commented out line, but says that the variable is needed only if you have a personal dictionary... anyway to get it to stop spamming? [16:30:06] AndrewBuis set that undefined variable to false [16:30:10] In LocalSettings.php [16:30:13] And about the alias stuff [16:30:23] You have a line Alias / /somewhere [16:30:32] Change that to Alias /wiki/somewhere [16:30:43] Your pages will now be at example.com/wiki/Main_Page [16:30:48] (Which is different) [16:30:54] But at least everything will work [16:31:37] Hi, I'm currently having an issue with the lsearch daemon for Lucene Search; on startup (and whenever a search query comes in), the daemon gets a file not found exception. Here's the lsearchd output: http://pastey.net/80034 [16:36:06] Hi... i'm trying to install a new template, but the html output is wrong [16:36:13] could someone help me out? [16:38:30] 03nikerabbit * r29273 10/trunk/extensions/Translate/MessageGroups.php: * Fixed wrong language definitions for WikiMessageGroup - this api is sub-optimal [16:39:35] anyone mind to help me? please pvt me [16:41:28] how can I assign the "bot" status to an user? [16:41:42] go to Special:Userrights [16:43:00] can someone check this: http://wiki.rpgkidz.com/Predefini%C3%A7%C3%A3o:Infobox_VG the html seens to be broken [16:43:39] when u view the source the tags FuryanRPGKidz do you have HTMLTidy installed? [16:44:08] !tidy | FuryanRPGKidz [16:44:08] --mwbot-- FuryanRPGKidz: For more information about HTML Tidy, see . [16:44:10] nope, should I install it? [16:44:14] Yes [16:44:19] oh, thanks roan [16:44:22] This is a Wikipedia template, I assume? [16:44:26] i'm still noobie 12,00:01p [16:44:31] yeah [16:44:32] Most Wikipedia templates rely heavily on HTMLTidy [16:44:46] RoanKattouw: how so? [16:44:47] oh thanks dude, this really helped me 12,00:01D [16:44:58] FuryanRPGKidz: please dont use colors [16:45:08] Colors? [16:45:12] in irc [16:45:14] I'm not seeing any [16:45:16] i'm not... i think [16:45:29] he's using gray background on the smileys [16:45:41] I just saw a colon and a D [16:45:42] :D [16:45:49] oh... ok i'll remove that [16:45:54] But maybe that's ChatZilla's fault (or benefit) [16:46:06] RoanKattouw: depends on how you see it [16:46:24] Yeah [16:46:52] colors and emphasis can be useful, but the current system is lousy [16:47:35] still colored :D [16:47:36] ? [16:47:45] no [16:47:47] http://aza.nehle.net/~azatoth/xchat.png [16:47:50] l thx [16:49:40] so i just need to set $wgUseTidy to true? [16:49:47] RoanKattouw: there was something else I wanted to ask you about, but I can't remember it now [16:50:06] API? Generators? User data? [16:50:09] RoanKattouw: and yea, what do you mean with the statement? [16:50:19] RoanKattouw: yea, somewhere there [16:50:32] I'll probably find it soon in my head [16:50:40] What statement [16:50:42] ? [16:50:46] [17:44:32] Most Wikipedia templates rely heavily on HTMLTidy [16:51:13] Means that when you export a Wikipedia template to a non-Tidy-enabled wiki, that usually causes trouble [16:51:26] but do you have any specific issue? [16:51:38] The one FuryanRPGKidz just brought up [16:51:51] Another one discussed here a month or two ago that I can't remember now [16:52:42] it's taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_VG ok [16:53:00] what does VG stands for? [16:55:05] video game [16:55:07] RoanKattouw: that I think is a false issue [16:55:21] False issue? [16:55:29] Why? [16:55:35] I don't think there is anything wrong with the template per se [16:55:45] but the renderer [16:55:52] True [16:56:00] there is nothing in that template that relies on tidy [16:56:01] It's the parser's fault, of course [16:56:15] true it's ugly code [16:56:27] I personally disslike mixing wiki table and html table [16:56:42] I should have said: Many Wikipedia templates use syntax that only works well when Tidy is enabled, due to parser insanity [16:57:06] yea [16:57:17] 03rotem * r29274 10/trunk/extensions/Cite/Cite.i18n.php: Update for he. [16:58:20] RoanKattouw: do you remember when conditional templating was made by exposing parts of the parser insanity? [16:58:48] AzaTht what this does means: Warning: proc_open(/dev/null) [function.proc-open]: failed to open stream: Success in /home/------/public_html/wiki/includes/Parser.php on line 759? [16:58:49] Conditional templating? [16:59:11] FuryanRPGKidz are you running a Windows server? [16:59:21] also I got this: Warning: proc_open() [function.proc-open]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1103 is not allowed to access /dev/null owned by uid 0 in /home/-----/public_html/wiki/includes/Parser.php on line 759 [16:59:31] FuryanRPGKidz: sound like SAFE MODE [16:59:51] remove it and try again [17:00:04] FuryanRPGKidz: disable safe mode in php.ini [17:00:10] 1[Az02,00aT12,00ht1,00]01: yeah... i'm hosting at a shared server, so safe mode can't be disabled :( [17:00:18] FuryanRPGKidz: that's bad [17:00:22] oh my... sry for the colors [17:00:23] change host [17:00:48] yeah, i'll do that... safe mode must be disable by some other aplications that i have [17:00:49] at least it won't highlight when you are using colors [17:01:02] safe mode is deprecated also [17:01:14] yeah, it was removed from php 6 [17:01:22] RoanKattouw: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Qif [17:02:05] {{{else{{{test|}}}|{{{test{{{test|}}}|{{{then|}}}}}}}}} [17:02:23] AzaTht: Oh dear. That must've been way before my time, I grew up with ParserFunctions ;) [17:02:54] RoanKattouw: They had to invent parserfunctions when that template reached 10 min downtime on edit [17:03:10] 10 min downtime? [17:03:13] Oh [17:03:19] It was used too often? xD [17:03:35] around 300000 instances [17:03:36] Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Qif would also have been a bitch to run, I guess [17:03:55] Right now they're worrying about 100+ #ifexist calls on one pge [17:03:57] *page [17:04:35] RoanKattouw: hehe [17:04:58] it's mostly my fault [17:05:24] the parsr functions was made to mimic my templates as much as posible [17:05:35] that's why they have such a somewhat strange syntax sometimes [17:05:45] can I ban you? :) [17:05:47] Well whoever wrote ParserFunctions shouldn't've allowed a query to be run in a loop [17:05:51] domas: hehe [17:06:01] RoanKattouw: it was tim [17:06:08] Which is exactly what #ifexist does [17:06:40] I'm surprised Tim is still alive then, considering Domas is rumored to kill anyone who even *thinks* about running queries in loops ;) [17:07:28] there is no loop in ifexists [17:07:32] AzaTht: PF syntax doesn't look that weird to me: #if, #ifexist en #expr to name a few have very intuitive syntaxes [17:07:37] *and [17:07:51] AzaTht: no, but each call to #ifexist results in a DB query [17:07:58] yea [17:08:03] how to do that without db query? [17:08:18] domas: lucky guess? [17:08:21] domas: find a way to somehow stuff all that #ifexist stuff into one big DB query I guess [17:08:26] yeah [17:08:29] 'find a way' [17:08:31] RoanKattouw: you don't want to know how the ifexist template worked [17:08:35] That's the hard part [17:08:40] anyone wants to try what Tim is doing ATM? [17:08:41] AzaTht: pre-ParserFunctions? [17:08:45] completely rebuilding parser logic? [17:08:52] RoanKattouw: yea [17:08:52] No, thank you xD [17:09:20] domas If #ifexist is merged into core, that building-one-big-query stuff might be possible [17:09:23] *might* [17:09:33] I don't know shit about the parser [17:09:42] AzaTht: How? [17:09:45] {{#ifeq:[[{{#if:{{{ns|}}}|{{lc:{{{ns|}}}}}:}}{{lc:{{{page|{{{1|defaultFalse}}}}}}}}]]|{{lc:{{msg:{{{ns|}}}:{{{page|{{{1|defaultFalse}}}}}}}}}}|{{{else|0}}}|{{{then|1}}}}} [17:10:01] that was the original exists function [17:10:12] Holy hell [17:10:17] My eyes [17:10:18] I'm not gonna try to understand that [17:10:29] Template:Qif is hard enough to understand already [17:10:31] hiho [17:10:39] basically it checks if a template call and a link is the same [17:10:46] Right [17:10:54] If so, it doesn't exist [17:10:57] if they differ, then the page exists [17:11:19] Except if the page only contains a like to itself: OOPS [17:11:29] if they are the same, the page exists, except if the page would only include a link to it self [17:11:35] RoanKattouw: yea [17:11:41] but that was a minor issue [17:11:48] Of course [17:12:01] Anyway, if #ifeq and #if already existed, why bother with this hack [17:12:03] ? [17:12:14] ParserFunctions were already introduced at that point [17:12:15] oh [17:12:15] question about mediawiki : does it manage differents users rights on an article (like 1 original author + 1 editor or 1 editor + many authors/contributors).. the point being to display ads depending on users' rights [17:12:20] it's not the original ... [17:12:47] Malaiac: You can't have per-article rights, but you can have user groups [17:12:48] {{qif |test={{booleq |1=[[{{ucfirst:{{{1}}}}}]] |2={{:{{{1}}}}} }} |then={{{else|false}}} |else={{{then|true}}} }} [17:12:56] that's the original [17:12:59] !rights | Malaic [17:12:59] --mwbot-- Malaic: For information on customizing user access, see < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:User_rights >. For common examples of restricting access using both rights and extensions, see < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access >. [17:13:13] AzaTht: suspected that, using qif and stuff [17:13:15] thx RoanKattouw ; so, no "1 article = 1 author" ? [17:13:17] yea [17:13:28] Malaiac: no [17:13:33] hey, i will download Google Knol, if i can't find this feature ! :D [17:13:39] hehe [17:13:55] ok. i'll give a look to tikiwiki [17:14:20] i suppose the old trick of creating a user group of one user won't work here ? [17:14:28] (think 3000+ authors ) [17:14:45] Malaiac: we think 3000000+ authors [17:15:25] Malaiac: no. Per-user rights are also not possible, unless you're willing to go through a *lot* of trouble and put every user into their own group [17:15:25] sure, but the trick of creating one user group by author is not very scalable, is it ? [17:15:35] ok, that was my question [17:16:15] so, no way i could display my "experts users" ads on their articles :( don't they have the same problem with Wikipedia ? (trick question) [17:16:58] RoanKattouw: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Parameter_default [17:17:19] you could just make an extension with the per-user permissions [17:17:57] AzaTht: I know that stuff, I spent a little time messing with templates myself [17:18:14] But these qif-style hacks are one level up from that :P [17:18:30] brion: Sure, but assigning permissions per-user for 3,000 users ain't easy [17:19:51] and multiple permissions on the same article, with different rates... if it's not at least partially native, i prefer no to think about it [17:21:28] brion: did you take a look yesterday? [17:22:19] Malaiac: If you're looking for per-article permissions, don't use MediaWiki [17:30:31] that's an advice ! thx RoanKattouw_eats . for now, i don't even know if we are going to go for a wiki or a mainstream CMS ( its for a mahalo like website ) [17:35:24] 03brion * r29275 10/trunk/phase3/includes/ (4 files in 2 dirs): Revert r29261, r29271 for now -- some weird mixing up of functions and seemingly random array structures, and it puts back a restricted API module I'd rather not see there for now.

[18:13:49] at least rehash it [18:13:56] .htaccess shouldn't need restarting [18:13:58] AndrewBuis: What's your current setup?

[18:15:48] couldnt get the skins to come back... but rest worked [18:15:55] Nikerabbit: Let's make it work first :) [18:16:29] cause I couldnt get the Alias stuff to work [18:16:31] AndrewBuis: You want it on the format domain.com/wiki/Article or something else? [18:17:34] *Nikerabbit explodes [18:17:36] I want it domain.com/Article [18:18:09] its already at domain/wiki/article [18:18:23] no you don't :D [18:18:32] old pentium box, going to do nothing but serve the wiki [18:19:05] You save yourself a whole boatload of trouble by using /wiki/article [18:19:08] "but the former causes a variety of problems, including problems with robots.txt, favicon.ico, and script paths." [18:19:11] AndrewBuis: trust me, you don't want that, it's evil [18:19:25] Nikerabbit: on a wikipage, so that is gives it to the browser, and the browser shows the ascii-signs [18:19:26] with the http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/Page_title_--_Aliasing_method--Root_access stuff, I dont have access to skins, while everything else works [18:19:46] bosses wishes n all that :/ [18:20:06] Atluxity: maybe Π or &Pi; [18:20:26] ok, then how do I get rid of the index.php?= stuff? [18:20:38] and keep it at /wiki [18:20:39] Nikerabbit: i'll try that [18:20:40] AndrewBuis by putting your stuff in /wiki [18:20:47] Alias /wiki /w/index.php [18:21:01] how do I set the search to always search custom namespaces?

[18:25:08] yes [18:25:31] try searching as an anonymous user [18:25:36] ok [18:25:53] the things you search by default are stored in your preferences [18:26:00] ah yes it works now [18:26:13] is there any way to override the prefs? [18:26:23] not anything particularly clean [18:26:28] hmm [18:26:29] ok [18:26:37] but new users will have these settings? [18:26:44] you'd essentially be editing people's stored preferences [18:27:22] but you could like run a script that opened their options field and tinkered with it [18:27:30] but that's kind of sketchy [18:28:14] Nikerabbit: nowiki-tags still makes the mediawiki send the cleartext to the browser, and not the ascii-numbers, and & just made it show the ascii code, but the browser didnt convert it to cleartext... wierd [18:28:43] bwah? [18:28:59] I'm not following [18:33:14] j(19:20:06) (Nikerabbit) Atluxity: maybe Π or &Pi; [18:33:40] you suggested I should try that, i was just telling you how it went [18:35:27] I just installed MediaWiki, and made a entry with php code in it and used: , but it isn't outputting it in a code box, is this feature disabled, do I need to enable it somewhere?

[18:37:15] Atluxity: yeah but I don't understand what you want to achieve :o [18:37:19] Nakamura: [[Special:Version]] : "SyntaxHighlight" extension should be installed [18:38:06] Nakamura: how did you try it? Displaiing should work without Syntax Highlighting, but it will not be very nice at all. [18:38:14] Does anyone know where the search code is? [18:38:28] How do I install SyntaxHighlight/ [18:39:18] Nakamura: It is an extension. [18:39:32] Nakamura: look at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Syntax_highlighting [18:39:47] Nakamura: the most popular one is at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi [18:40:12] Ok, thanks :) [18:41:44] *PunkRock thanks the mwbot. [18:47:40] Nikerabbit: give put ascii-html (.com) in the html-code returned from mediawiki [18:47:53] -give [18:48:10] example?

[19:04:39] the web svn thing [19:04:44] svn.wikimedia.org [19:04:46] :) [19:05:15] http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/CentralNotice/SpecialNoticeText.php?r1=29278&r2=29277&pathrev=29278 [19:05:48] yay more parses [19:18:21] 03(NEW) MediaWiki should support UTF-8 wiki project codes - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12508 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki: Internationalization; (gangleri) [19:18:27] 03(mod) add UTF-8 and RTL inter project links to test.wikipedia.org - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12477 (10gangleri) [20:06:00] how do I get a specific 1.12 release from SVN? the one up there is r29276 and I'd like to get r29250 [20:06:09] er.. not release [20:10:16] svn up -r29250?

[20:24:37] [[url desc]] could be user for both [20:24:40] used [20:35:16] I need some help with something and I'm hoping someone here can help me where the user guide did not. [20:36:07] Uploading images through a wiki site one-by-one is annoying, and I'd like to know how I can use images offsite without linking them to anything. [20:36:34] A friend of mine, for example, is putting images on her pages just by inserting a direct URL to the image on her photobucket. [20:39:39] Cultist: it's possible to do that with mediawiki as well [20:39:52] No. I tried that. [20:39:56] !externalimages | Cultist [20:39:56] --mwbot-- Cultist : To allow images from elsewhere to be included in your wiki, see . To limit this to some specific sources, see . [20:40:01] You're referring to [path to image] [20:40:02] Doesn't work. [20:40:16] did you set your variables correctly in LocalSettings.php? [20:40:33] I haven't found a LocalSettings.php file. And I've looked all over. [20:41:08] it's in the wiki root folder [20:41:25] without it, your system won't run, so you either have it or your wiki's dead [20:43:00] Only one I've found is NoLocalSettings.php in /includes/templates/ [20:43:32] it should be in the same folder as your extensions folder [20:44:09] In extensions, only one file exists: README [20:44:31] the folder that holds the extensions folder should also contain LocalSettings.php [20:45:06] That would be the root path, and there is no such file there. [20:45:19] is your wiki working? [20:45:22] Yes [20:45:42] The /closest/ thing I see is a file AdminSettings.sample. [20:46:01] Well, you must have a file where your settings are stored, like the DB name and the DB password [20:46:08] !config [20:46:08] --mwbot-- *All* configuration is done in LocalSettings.php (near the end of the file). Editing other files means modifying the software. Default settings are not in LocalSettings.php, you can *look* in DefaultSettings.php. See , , [20:47:34] I'm not seeing it. [20:47:40] wassup [20:48:05] Cultist can't find LocalSettings.php [20:48:29] He's saying that it should be in my root path, but I can't find it. [20:48:41] Closest match I've found in my root directory is AdminSettings.sample [20:50:21] unless i'm insane, it's not an optional file; you either have it or you don't have a working wiki [20:50:34] or he uses debian :D [20:50:50] gah. [20:50:50] Wait... Found it. [20:51:51] Alright, so I need to what? Set the images folder to 775 and change the variable to true?

[20:52:21] set $wgAllowExternalImages to true [20:54:37] Okay... any idea why WordPad's search feature didn't find that?Z [20:55:05] no idea [20:55:40] WordPad?... ugh. [20:56:09] what document was opened on wordpad? [20:57:13] I haven't installed any of my other editors, so Wordpad is all I have right now. [20:58:54] you should really change that [20:59:33] notepad is known for causing a lot of trouble. and wordpad seems the wrong choice to edit code of any kind. [20:59:50] Got it. [21:03:29] darn it... i have 1.12.0 alpha r29250 running (same as wikipedia) but now im getting an 500 error.. the logs say premature end of script headers? [21:03:52] im probably S.O.L. for a while until a real release but im praying somebody has something to advise? [21:04:48] AphelionZ, enable showing logs [21:05:43] Platonides: showing logs? the apache logs or something i dont understand? [21:06:51] wherever php errors are sent [21:07:13] oh i see [21:09:10] !debug [21:09:10] --mwbot-- For information on debugging (including viewing errors), see . [21:09:41] "premature end of script headers" indicate a fatal php error in a cgi environment [21:10:11] I have created a article, how can I put a description above the contents? [21:10:46] Nakamura: hm? what do you mean? [21:10:55] http://www.stakca.com/index.php?title=Coding_standards [21:11:07] I want to put a paragraph above the contents [21:12:05] then... just put it there? [21:12:17] how? [21:12:24] The contents box isn't in the edit [21:12:42] so if I place writing at top of edit its not going to show there is it? [21:12:42] oh, you are talking about the toc box. [21:13:01] toc? [21:13:02] two things: the toc shows above the first heading. so anything before the first heading will be above the box [21:13:10] Ok thanks :) [21:13:13] to change this, use __TOC__ to place it explicitely somewhere you like [21:13:19] or use __NOTO__ to suppres it [21:13:19] Yeah Ive done it, thanks [21:13:27] I am new to wiki's :) [21:13:29] Nakamura: hy don't you look at any Wikipedia article before asking? [21:13:31] *__NOTOC__ [21:13:37] indeed [21:13:52] AlexSm: I googled it but google doesn't understand me [21:14:13] Nakamura: naw, just look at some example. wikipedia is full of it. [21:14:25] actually, by convention, any wikipedia article should do :)# [21:14:27] oh yeah, thats how I half got the php code box. [21:14:35] brb [21:14:57] bacl [21:15:22] Hi, I'm currently having an issue with the lsearch daemon for Lucene Search; on startup (and whenever a search query comes in), the daemon gets a file not found exception. Here's the lsearchd output: http://pastey.net/80046 [21:16:43] *Nakamura* Here's a link to help on the _TOC_ _NOTOC_ info you're after http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words [21:16:49] Duesentrieb, could common.js be included before the gadgets? [21:17:07] :) Thanks [21:18:08] Duesentrieb, what would cause a fatal error between a svn downloaded version of 1.12 and an ftp uploaded version of 1.11? [21:20:43] which parser are you using? [21:22:24] me? [21:22:53] I think it's a permissions issue actually because i can't edit any of the files [21:23:47] Platonides: isn't it?... anyway, script include order is a mess. there's no way to control it from an extension really. [21:38:16] I have been switching over my wiki to not have the index.php? stuff, using the method here "http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/wiki/Page_title" .. everything now seems to work right, except browsing my Category, when I hit the "next 200" link (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/wiki/Page_title), I get an edit page to Index.php.. any ideas? [21:39:32] Hi everyone [21:39:46] I want to modify the login/create account page [21:40:30] I can do it my modifying the file includes/templates/Userlogin.php, but I was wondering if there is a better way to do this through an extension. Any ideas? [21:40:49] hrmm, and whenever I try to edit.. [21:42:40] AtharHameed: edit it in what way? [21:42:48] !access [21:42:48] --mwbot-- For information on customizing user access, see . For common examples of restricting access using both rights and extensions, see . [21:43:16] MinuteElectron: Hi. I want to change the way it looks. Add more fields and remove some existing ones. [21:44:06] hmm [21:50:32] AtharHameed: what kind of fields? there may be an extension... [21:53:09] MZMcBride: I am creating a custom application on top of mediawiki and want to add fields specific to my app. examples would be business category, number of employees etc [21:54:09] ah, that would involve DB changes then, i presume; don't think there's an easier solution that modifying the underlying files; though it wouldn't be the worst idea to look through the current extensions [21:54:12] !extensions [21:54:12] --mwbot-- 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. [21:54:23] alright. thanks [22:02:43] Using Alias in httpd.conf, and making a short url like example.com/wiki/Article_Title is breaking edit for me, whenever I try to edit a page, I get "Editing Index.php5" page [22:03:20] !rewriteproblems [22:03:20] --mwbot-- 1) Do not put the files into the document root; 2) Do not map the pages into the document root; 3) Use different paths for real files and virtual pages; 4) Do not set a RewriteBase; 5) Put all rules into the .htaccess file in the document root. [22:03:28] sounds like you're violating rule 3 [22:04:34] my real physical file path is /srv/www/htdocs/w/ the alias is domain.com/wiki/ [22:05:16] hmm... that sounds right [22:06:01] does the URL for editing look correct? [22:06:17] i.e., title=Foobar&action=edit ? or something... [22:06:26] yes [22:06:48] it looks like /wiki/index.php5?title=Main_Page&action=edit [22:07:02] which brings me to "Editing Index.php5" page [22:07:03] well that's wrong [22:07:12] it should be /w/index.php5.... [22:07:40] my aliases in httpd.conf are : "Alias /wiki/skins/ /srv/www/htdocs/w/skins/" [22:07:54] Alias /wiki/images/ /srv/www/htdocs/wiki/images/ [22:08:05] Alias /wiki/index.php /srv/www/htdocs/w/index.php [22:08:16] Alias /wiki /srv/www/htdocs/w/index.php [22:08:19] isn't your images directory in /htdocs/w/images?

[22:16:11] !wg Logo [22:16:11] --mwbot-- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgLogo [22:16:19] got it [22:16:21] same issue [22:16:31] been back n forth between /w and /wiki a dozen times now [22:16:49] any way to get it to resize the logo for you? the file I have is much bigger then 135 square [22:17:14] read the logo link [22:18:44] by the "site CSS", I assume /skins/whatever skin/main.css? [22:21:15] okay here's a setup that i'm trying to work towards: i have a wiki farm (the wikis have different subdomains eg. wiki1.mydomain.org wiki2.mydomain.org etc), a way for a small group of people to control user rights on the whole farm with ease, and possibly a way to share a user database [22:21:22] what would be my bet way for doing that? [22:22:10] Okay, question: What is a Steward? [22:22:46] a bureaucrat that can change any user permissions on any wiki [22:22:52] (in Wikimedia) [22:23:32] Hideous: stewards are not default in mediawiki; bureaucrats can change all rights in a standard install [22:23:53] stewards are for multiple wikis; they are global users [22:23:56] Aha [22:24:00] Good to know [22:24:21] the steward group is created when the extension makesysop is installed [22:24:25] I'm using a Wikifarm, and I'm a steward apparently [22:24:36] And a sysop and a bureaucrat [22:24:41] Since I created it [22:24:53] it's always like that by default [22:24:56] Okay [22:25:07] That answers my question [22:25:09] Bye.

[22:48:48] as for sul... that's coming really really soon now (tm) [22:49:26] in the meantime, you could ask Wikia how they managed it :P [22:49:42] MZMcBride, there's the sendarticle extension, but personally i think it's not what i'm looking for.. Wanted to know if anyone knew of one before I went hacking away at it.. [22:49:43] the docs explain it thoroughly [22:49:48] Hi - I recently installed and used the VPN client for Mac OS X, and now when I try to import a search Index (for lucene) it spits out an error message: http://pastey.net/80055 [22:49:59] Is anyone here familiar with Lucene Search? [22:50:24] rainman-sr: you about? [23:02:18] Matt234: why are you using rankbuilder? [23:04:10] Is it possible to run the scripts in the maintainance folder without having shell access to the server?

[23:07:03] LC-Stratics: google "php shell" [23:07:06] rainman-sr: When I attempt to build an index, it tells me that root@localhost with no pass cannot access some database [23:07:06] LC-Stratics: PHP shell is for everything... [23:07:41] Matt234: you should use the importer.. the rankbuilder is for permanently saving the ranks, i.e. into a mysql db [23:07:46] MZMcBride: Yeah I did, I'll look closer at it. [23:08:05] ok [23:08:07] rainman-sr: Ah, thanks [23:08:07] Matt234: since you probably don't want that, just use the importer :) [23:08:17] rainman-sr: I actually have another question [23:08:44] rainman-sr: I went through and changed cp -lr to cp -r, but am still having trouble finding some files, and I can't quite figure out why [23:10:37] paste logs.. i've never tested it on mac, can't really tell what could go wrong... [23:11:27] ok, one sec [23:14:56] rainman-sr: The error is at line 19 of the pastey: http://pastey.net/80056 [23:15:31] It's a simple FileNotFound, but it's proven difficult to resolve [23:15:46] partially because I don't know the intended result of GNU's cp -lr [23:16:07] I only have access to mac boxes, so it's been painful trying to figure this out [23:17:54] Matt234: the intended result is to get a copy of index in /usr/local/search/indexes/snapshot/wikic/ .. [23:18:05] of the actual folder [23:18:09] or the contents? [23:19:17] you should have something like snapshot/wikic// where is segments.. etc.. [23:20:47] then you should have similar thing in update... and search/ should be simlink to update/ [23:21:23] hm, okay [23:21:56] (erm that's update/wikic/) [23:22:54] what's the php command to run an install.php5 file? [23:23:38] rainman-sr: Earlier you said that there [23:24:13] that* the next release would run on mac os x [23:24:28] Does is simply do that by avoiding using cp -lr? [23:24:53] yes, more-or-less, i cannot really test it on macos, so it would work in theory [23:25:18] I can try testing some of that stuff out for you, if you want [23:26:01] I don't know how much of a priority getting this working on mac is though [23:26:42] great! so, if you would leave an e-mail I will notify you when the new release is ready, or alternatively watch the mediawiki.org page [23:27:52] sure [23:27:55] it would be nice if it would work. it's not exactly top priority, but it shouldn't be too much work either, since it's probably only details.. [23:29:25] Okay, I sent you my email [23:29:44] yea, it seems to be a petty difference between the two platforms [23:30:19] I'm going to try to resolve the problem myself, and if I make any progress I'll keep you updated [23:30:34] I've mostly been trying to avoid digging too deeply into the issue though [23:32:32] ok, got your e-mail
