[10:23:01] or am I wrong? [10:23:47] Nope [10:24:00] Obviously it needs its own wiki database [10:24:11] for the articles and histories [10:24:29] but the user data is pulled from phpBB3 [10:24:38] You will need to make a phpBB3 usergroup called Wiki though [10:24:44] thats cool.

[14:48:37] *kept [14:48:50] Apache? [14:50:10] JAStewart: what pages cause that error? [14:50:44] Its the two biggest pages that I have, and I think that it was spammed/vandalized by some idiot who just put loads of gibberish on it [14:50:53] page name? [14:50:59] is it a public wiki? [14:51:02] yes [14:51:07] can we get a link? [14:51:11] http://www.jastewart.co.uk/Primus_Powertabs [14:52:06] and http://www.jastewart.co.uk/Bullboard [14:52:11] wow, that thing got nailed [14:52:27] http://jastewart.co.uk/index.php?title=Primus_Powertabs&oldid=802 [14:52:31] revert to that revision [14:52:38] Hi there [14:53:00] http://jastewart.co.uk/index.php?title=Bullboard&oldid=2931 [14:53:10] revert Bullboard to that revision [14:53:14] is it possible to create a database table from an extension? [14:53:22] Asga: ya [14:53:42] you can do anything from an extension [14:53:49] but not over the internal database system (DB_Master/DB_Slave) ? [14:54:01] Thanks TimLaqua, it worked! legend! [14:54:10] oh, w/ like the db abstraction thing you get from wfGetDb? [14:54:50] have you tried $dbw = wfGetDb(DB_MASTER); $dbw->query('CREATE TABLE .....') [14:55:49] no i didn't [14:55:51] ill try that [14:55:53] thanks [14:55:53] k [15:10:27] Ah i found something about $dbw->query [15:11:15] but it says that i have to use addQuotes() and tableName() [15:11:48] yeah, tableName() gets the prefixed table name [15:12:08] addQuotes should properly escape the query [15:12:40] are the extensions tagged to match mediawiki releases? [15:12:42] okay but when i add a new table i don't have to use tableName? [15:12:52] you should [15:12:55] or does it just add the prefix [15:12:55] okay [15:13:01] like [15:13:03] you could also just prefix it manually [15:13:15] $wgDBPrefix I believe. [15:13:25] with wgDBprefix [15:13:29] yeah [15:13:33] thought about that [15:13:54] but i think ill use tableName [15:13:56] thanks [15:13:58] honestly, most extension writers just post an SQL file [15:14:00] Is there an add-on for wiki that allows you to upload any file extention? [15:14:04] and say "you have to run this" [15:14:13] JAStewart: that's configurable. [15:14:28] I'm trying to make sure I use a versions of the extensions that match the version of mediawiki I'm using. Are the extensions tagged when mediawiki is released? If so, how can I see these tags with svn? [15:14:54] centosian: look at the root level, you'll see the /branches area [15:15:09] centosian: don't use /trunk if you want branched versions. /trunk is current [15:15:11] I'm looking to upload a rare file type, a .ptb (power tab score) [15:15:28] JAStewart: doesn't matter, you can add whatever extensions youw ant. [15:15:47] Oh, cool. How does one do this? [15:16:16] !filetype | JAStewert [15:16:16] --mwbot-- JAStewert: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgFileExtensions [15:17:21] TimLaqua I'm currently running 1.11.1 and I'd like to make sure I use the matching extensions. I've been fetching the extensions using normal 'svn checkout extensions' but I'd like to make sure I pull the revision that matches mediawiki-(release). Should I use 'svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_11/extensions/ ' ? [15:17:50] centosian: correct, that will get the 1.11 branch of extensions [15:18:24] Thanks TimLaqua . Can i see the tags from my machine using svn? [15:18:31] centosian: but I know that I personally prefer if people always use the HEAD revision of my extensions. [15:18:41] centosian: the svn tags? [15:19:02] (I'm used to CVS and tags, pls correct my terminology if I'm getting something wrong) [15:19:32] ;-) I'm not familliar w/ SVN/CVS - I just commit/update/revert and let it do it's magic [15:19:40] er... *that* familliar [15:20:01] TimLaqua: I am supposed to insert the code ($wgFileExtensions[] = 'ptb';) into my LocalSettings.php? [15:20:09] JAStewart: yeah. [15:20:13] hmm [15:20:16] just anywhere? [15:20:25] yup - usually near the end [15:20:31] oh, alrighty then [15:20:56] do I need to put a # before it like # [15:20:56] $wgFileExtensions[] = 'pdf'; [15:21:01] oops *# [15:21:01] $wgFileExtensions[] = 'pdf'; [15:21:28] centosian: i know when bri0n branches the release versions, he's been branching the extensions repository as well [15:21:54] centosian: but I personally try to keep my extensions valid one or two releases back - i think most extension devs do [15:22:10] JAStewart: i'm not sure I get what you're asking? [15:22:27] # comments a line [15:23:17] hmm well whatever I did didn't work [15:23:57] well, what line did you add to LocalSettings.php? [15:24:09] I made $wgFileExtensions[] = 'ptb'; the second last line in local settings [15:24:50] and you still can't upload .ptb files? [15:25:10] Yeah.. [15:25:33] My localsettings.php looks different too, it used to be a big mess, but now its all organized :P [15:27:34] Do I just need to insert the code by itself, on its own? [15:28:03] huh? [15:28:18] on it's own line... [15:28:39] yeah [15:28:55] but should it just by that code or does it need a # before it or anything? [15:29:14] *be [15:29:20] just that code by itself. a # before it woulud comment it out [15:29:27] hmm [15:29:38] try: $wgCheckFileExtensions = false; [15:29:41] hey people - why does my Sitenotice display a link on the page itself, but not at the top of the site? http://www.hobbsknowledgebase.co.uk/wiki/MediaWiki:Sitenotice [15:31:06] http://www.hobbsknowledgebase.co.uk/wiki/Help:How_to_Get_Google_Analytics_Onto_Your_Wiki - ;-) [15:31:26] !e googleAnalytics [15:31:26] --mwbot-- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:googleAnalytics [15:31:49] aww, space. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Google_Analytics [15:32:41] TimL: ".ptb" is an unwanted file type [15:32:54] that's an error that you get? [15:33:21] hi [15:33:25] fishsponge: sorry for all the bad links - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Google_Analytics_Integration [15:33:42] are you from brazil [15:33:50] Tim: yeash [15:34:13] *yeah [15:34:27] I've tried the code you supplied and the code that wiki supplied [15:34:47] TimLaqua: thanks for that - i didn't know that existed - surely there's nothing better than hardcoding into the skin, just above the "" tag though, right? [15:35:34] fishsponge_: i'd say nothing worse than. that particular extensions uses SkinBeforeBottomScripts i believe [15:36:17] skin hacking isn't something we can expect most administrators to be comfortable with [15:36:31] and as you note, it also gets overwritten every update [15:38:12] fishsponge: if you get in to extension writing, you can just throw your own hooks in the core where you need them (sort of...) and then publish extensions that are easily installed and maintained. [15:38:37] TimLaqua: that's very true - i think i'll install this extension - it seems to insert the code right before the tag anyway on the guy's demo site, so it should be the same thing! :-) [15:38:43] and then i'll update my instructions page [15:38:54] anyway... [15:39:13] can anyone help? why does my Sitenotice display a link on the page itself, but not at the top of the site? http://www.hobbsknowledgebase.co.uk/wiki/MediaWiki:Sitenotice [15:39:15] ya, your original sitenotice question - not sure [15:40:06] does anyone else know why my link in Sitenotice isn't showing up? [15:40:14] well, it is showing up, but only as text - not a link [15:40:26] it always used to, until i actually put some content in the page it was linking to! [15:40:55] JAStewart: are you sure you set $wgCheckFileExtensions = false; ? [15:41:04] yeah [15:41:24] what LocalSettings.php - are you sure you're editing the right one? [15:41:47] well in my file list I have LocalSettings.php and LocalSettings.php.old [15:42:14] Linux or windows? [15:42:21] Windows [15:42:23] TimLaqua: i've already hacked the skin anyway, to get the AdSense adverts at the bottom of the site - there is an extension for adsense, but it only lets you put the adverts in your page content - i just want mine at the bottom of every page, and i have that now :-) [15:42:36] but i agree - it will get lost on every update, and that is something i'm not happy about... [15:42:36] fishsponge: ya. [15:43:27] fishsponge: well... everyone who uses the Monobook skin anyway. ;-) [15:44:09] JAStewart: I don't think it's possible to have $wgCheckFileExtensions = false; and get that message [15:44:16] i force the monobook skin upon everyone, strangely - this wiki is only editable by myself and people i approve, so i'm being a tad dictatorish here, but i don't predict many signed up members to be honest [15:44:26] i predict random one-off visitors through google [15:44:27] Well its definetly there.. hmm [15:45:05] again ".ptb" is an unwanted file type [15:46:03] can I like, mail you the file Tim? [15:46:26] JAStewart: sure, or paste it in to http://rafb.net/paste/ [15:47:32]
