[00:02:46] how do you add a page to a category? [00:06:25] !categories | JediMaster: [00:06:25] --mwbot-- JediMaster:: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories [00:07:36] thanks, however the MainPage has a category at the bottom of the page, but when I go to edit it, there's no [[Category:whatever]] link in [00:08:09] JediMaster: any templates on the main page? [00:08:16] several [00:08:20] check them [00:11:12] bah, it really needs to have it there, but I don't want it showing on the front page, any ideas? [00:11:40] "it" being what? [00:11:50] template that is used on the main page [00:12:02] has a category, so the main page has inherited it too [00:12:05] could it be that i'm getting an error for a require_once on an extension because I am calling it at the end of localsettings? [00:12:10] then make the template not impose the category on pages it is included on [00:12:18] error is no such file.. so I doubt it.. [00:12:26] Duesentrieb: how do you do that? [00:12:36] Wiredtape: if it sais no such file, then there's no such file. [00:12:50] JediMaster: [00:12:59] ah, brilliant, thanks [00:13:02] Duesentrieb, ah.. but there is :) [00:13:09] yes... noinclude... *if* the category is for the template itself [00:13:22] JediMaster: the other handy one is ;) [00:14:09] Wiredtape: maybe it'S a simply typo, or relative vs absolute path, or relative to something else, etc. are you using $IP? not with single quotes, i hope? [00:14:16] astro76: thanks [00:16:12] Duesentrieb, am using $IP, have tried without.. am using double quotes.. umm.. yes, problem was simple typo :P (thanks for help..) -> and now another question.. I am getting a syntax error for unexpected end on the last line of my skin.. the only thing I added the made it start doing this was a small google ads script.. anyway this is connected to some skin error? [00:17:05] unexpected end of file is triggered by broken syntax, such as an unmatched { or ( or " [00:17:17] run the file through php -l [00:17:30] ok, thanks :) [00:20:47] Duesentrieb, php -l returns same error.. [00:25:09] Wiredtape: yes, of course, it's a syntax check :) [00:25:28] Wiredtape: it allows you to fix your syntax without reloading the page all the time [00:28:08] ok.. i've narrowed it down to the google ads code, and I can't see any problem there as far as php goes.. http://rafb.net/p/uxHMsl94.html is the code.. (and thanks Duesentrieb for the php -l hint) [00:28:35] dead link [00:29:09] sorry: big " l" -> http://rafb.net/p/uxHMsL94.html [00:31:12] Wiredtape: if i run just that code through php -l, it finds no errors. so you narrowsed it down to the wrong thing [00:31:34] Duesentrieb, if I take this code out of my skin, it runs.. [00:31:51] if it's in there I get the error [00:32:23] then maybe your is out of sync woith the rest of the code [00:33:16] well... I se a above it, and I see a ?> below it.. and so, i'm baffled.. [00:33:24] should I pastey the entire skin? [00:34:14] Wiredtape: http://pastebin.com/ [00:34:30] JediMaster, thx -> I prefer rafb.net :) [00:34:45] was just worried you were going to paste the whole script in here ;-) [00:34:46] 03dale * r30962 10/trunk/extensions/MetavidWiki/ (16 files in 6 dirs): updates for metadata inserts & interfaces for multi-file stream support [00:35:05] that would have been a mess ;-) [00:35:57] http://rafb.net/p/kwESDh54.html [00:36:29] what was the error again? [00:36:35] unexpected end of file? [00:36:41] yup.. [00:36:48] one sec [00:37:01] Wiredtape: no symtax errors detected. [00:37:01] and "supposedly" the culprit is the google ads code within cRight div.. [00:37:17] Duesentrieb, shall I give you the link to my site.. ? :-\ [00:37:31] no. php doesn't even look at anything that is not inside [00:37:33] i'm getting an unexpected end with php 5.2.5 [00:37:42] everything else is simply passed through litereally [00:37:52] Duesentrieb, what are you talking about? [00:38:30] there's nothing that should give that as far as I can see, the if/endif at the end is a bit horrid [00:38:39] i'm telling you that a syntax error can not be cause by a "text" part of a php page [00:38:44] /** [00:38:44] *Wiredtape Skin [00:38:44] */ [00:38:44] if( !defined( 'MEDIAWIKI' ) ) [00:38:56] hehe [00:39:33] *Duesentrieb kicks self [00:39:35] *Duesentrieb kicks clipboard [00:39:37] *Duesentrieb goes to sleep. [00:39:40] Duesentrieb, i am aware of that :) [00:40:06] JediMaster, which if/endif? [00:40:07] Wiredtape: anyway, the code you posed does not give an error with php 5.2.1 [00:40:26] line 357 to 362 - ick [00:40:28] I must say, I am baffled :-\ [00:40:42] it works, but ick [00:41:01] JediMaster, it's originally from monobook if you believe it.... [00:41:08] hehe [00:41:30] do you have a link to the wiki? [00:41:31] Duesentrieb, u think this might be caused by a difference between php 5.2.1 and 5.2.5? [00:41:39] not really [00:41:40] JediMaster, am making it live in a sec.. [00:41:49] not likely [00:41:57] maybe by some setting, like requireing something like that [00:42:31] line 314? [00:42:38] try [00:43:47] urghh! that was it :) [00:43:55] good guess Duesentrieb [00:44:03] *Duesentrieb waves [00:44:11] thanks Duesentrieb, and JediMaster :) [00:44:17] Hello, I need assistance in groking import-interwiki-text [00:44:56] MichaleR, not sure what u mean?

I'd like to import the help pages [00:47:06] ok [00:47:16] as in the FAQ ...Why? section. [00:47:19] what's the problem..? [00:47:32] I'm not understanding a way to download them all as a batch.

[00:58:06] also the page actions (though they are pretty much the same in both.. [00:58:33] is there a nice easy quick special page to create new pages? [00:59:00] JediMaster, extension:CreateArticle [00:59:09] ta [00:59:10] doesn't need a special page [01:00:23] Is there a categorized listing of the extentions? or does one just wade through the full list? [01:00:47] MichaleR, there's categories and a list on mediawiki.org .. [01:00:52] hmm [01:02:10] MichaleR, there's categories and a list on mediawiki.org .. [01:03:40] I've found the list (if you mean Category:Extentions) but the categories are eluding me [01:03:58] wait stop, [01:04:31] not moving.. :) [01:05:01] I'd gone off to the matrix and missed everything below the first page. [01:05:22] It's right there hiding in plain site. [01:05:24] sight [01:07:06] What's the diff between wikimedia and mediawiki?

[02:19:09] Seven-7: what version of MediaWiki and what version of PHP do you have? [02:20:16] Should have said that first, one second. [02:21:38] PHP: 5.2.5, MW: 1.5.8 [02:21:49] uh... [02:22:09] since you have PHP 5, I recommend that you get mediawiki 1.11.1, the latest stable release [02:23:05] That version was pulled from RELEASE-NOTES.file. [02:23:08] you can download the files here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download [02:23:10] Is that the correct place? [02:24:05] should be [02:24:50] anyway, get 1.11.1, it has many more features than 1.5.8 [02:27:52] Seven-7: you may also want to see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading_to_1.11 for some more info on upgrading (especially if the wiki already has articles, etc.) [02:30:42] Hmm. [02:30:43] any idea why a category that has several items in, when linked using [[Category:name]] always makes a link to edit the category page? [02:30:59] even though second category on the same page has a link that doesn't include action=edit [02:31:31] JediMaster: Does the category exist? [02:31:34] JediMaster: yes, but does the category page itself exist yet? [02:31:46] if it does not, then that's why you're getting action=edit [02:36:09] Nakon: yes, it had 3 pages linked and displaying when you click the edit link, but don#t worry after a little while it's just gone away [02:48:02] lol "If you want to remove the page from your watchlist later, click \"Unwatch\" in the sidebar."

[05:10:10] no, it does not interferred [05:10:26] I will need to resort to wikitables [05:13:04] Sparkla, $wgUseTidy=true; finally worked, thanks [05:13:08] many thanks [05:13:26] noprob [05:13:47] It was some other code in the page the one which interferred [05:14:13] should I advertise it in the transclusion help pages? [05:14:42] possibly [05:14:51] it is a common problem, people copying templates from wikipedia [05:15:08] Huh, I'm not doing that [05:15:29] right, but enwp has tidy and lots of templates rely on it [05:15:30] I'm documenting a project and use MediaWiki for that [05:15:53] and I have some repeated rows table after table [05:16:12] so I wanted a template for a row [05:16:17] thanks :) [05:38:00] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template#Templates_as_table_pieces [05:48:23] on my wiki, i want people to edit pages, only when they are logged in, can someone tell me how to do that?

I have lot of troubles updating a 1.6.3 to 1.11.1. I already had this kind of problems : some tables are missing (archive, permissions stuff..). And the update script doesn't seem to handle those. Instead it crashes. and my db is fubared.. [09:05:13] this one wiki is not very big, but the data in it is very important. [09:05:26] i thought i could export all data, install a new wiki, and import the data. [09:05:43] but the export stuff seems to only know how to export a given list of pages, not 'all' [09:06:08] is there another way to export (serialize?) all data/history from such an old mediawiki ?

in the template [09:21:21] there is a lot you can do, like check if 'mydiv' exists first, use proper DOM instead of .innerHTML, and have it placed arbitrarily instead of relying on a wikicode element, but a quick example test is often informative [09:23:00] Thanks I'll have a look into it :) [09:25:41] is there a way to save/dump the content/history of a mediawiki independantly from sql ?

[09:29:32] i read this. i only care about content and history of content. i dont care about logs or users [09:29:47] uploaded files stay where they are, it's ok too i think.

[13:29:28] Image: links to the description page, Media: links directly to the file. [13:30:01] to put it differntly: all uploads are called "images". "Media:" is a pseudo namespace, it just changes the way the link works, not what it links to [13:30:06] it should really be [[file: ]] [13:30:13] (this solution sucks, btw, i wish it would go away) [13:30:33] ok, thanks [13:30:40] and the titles in that namespace should ignore the extensions [13:30:48] zocky: yes. and if you want to link to the file itself, it should be [[Special:Filepath/foo]]. No need for the [[Media:]] cruft. [13:31:24] i don't want foo.jpg, foo.png and foo.gif to be three different images [13:31:30] that's just silly on a wiki [13:31:59] it should really be [[Image:Foo]] or something, and it should work regardless of which format the image is in [13:32:59] 03(NEW) New parser function / magic word, for "pretty-printed" numbers - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13025 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki: Page rendering; (random832) [13:34:11] 03raymond * r30966 10/trunk/ (3 files in 2 dirs): Localisation updates German [13:34:25] zocky: yep. though the transition would be rather ricker for wikipedia & co. [13:34:40] there is {{#filepath:99 [13:34:49] s/99/}} [13:35:04] ialex: there is also Special:Filepath (more convenient for links) [13:35:25] Duesentrieb: right :) [13:37:19] 03(mod) New parser function / magic word, for "pretty-printed" numbers - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13025 (10random832) [13:37:56] Mh, another question: [13:37:56] I'm running my wiki on a webspace I bound a united-domains TLD to. [13:37:56] Now, when I use URL-Hiding as a forwarding method (kinda like Wikipedia does it), the page shows correctly, but when I try to submit an edited page, I get a 'token_mismatch' error. This doesn't occur when I choose Frame-Forwarding as a redirect method. Any ideas? [13:48:14] is there any way I can write a template that contains an unordered list that could be used within an ordered list, or on its own?

[13:58:52] I'm having a barrel of issues trying to use wgPageName, even with addOnloadHook. Is there a better way I can determine what article/page is been fetched so I can create flexible skin code? [13:59:00] ok, maybe I made a mistake - I'll give it another go [13:59:07] cirwin: though i'm not sure if that will work "nested" in a list that uses wiki syntax. maybe it needs to be html all the way then. [13:59:32] that was the problem I think [13:59:49] Spoonpilot: if you mean JS code, then that is the correct way. [14:00:33] cirwin: another way would be to give the template an optional parameter containing a line-prefix [14:00:42] yes, I have considered that [14:00:48] cirwin: every line would then start with {{prefix}}*... [14:00:51] yes [14:00:55] I just want to render extra 'blocks' of html code if Main_Page, I'm doing that by using wgPageName in a conditional statement..obviously not working [14:00:56] should work too. not soo pretty [14:01:09] is there a bug I can add to to get it to remember the list context in templates? [14:01:26] Spoonpilot: are you talking about javascript code, or php code? [14:01:37] php [14:01:38] Spoonpilot: where do you put your code? [14:01:46] Skin files [14:01:55] but wgPageName is not a php variable, is it? [14:02:06] you'd wat $wgTitle, proably. [14:02:11] and make sure to global it first [14:02:21] thank Duesentrieb [14:02:28] and $wgTitle is an *object* [14:02:35] you need to fetch the individual parts of the name from it [14:02:56] you'd probably want getPrefixedDbKey or something like that [14:03:26] Interesting, I'll see what I can figure out, thank you.

[14:25:40] eradicate how? [14:25:53] top 10 categories... hm, in the database, it's not hard... [14:26:42] ah, here we go: top categories are at Special:Mostlinkedcategories [14:27:59] ah thanks [14:29:44] eradicate as in get rid of it quickly as opposed to going into every single article with a category link and deleting them [14:30:24] delete the category, or all pages in the category? anyway, there's not good solution either way, i'm afraid [14:31:00] categories "exist" as long as they are lined from article text. and there is no mass-editing facility.
