[00:45:11] !skins CHTboy [00:45:11] --mwbot-- Overview: . Skin usage: . Gallery of CSS styles: . Writing your own: [00:46:53] Pathoschild, thx dude [00:47:32] Welcome. [01:14:23] apart from adding 'prefix', 'url/$', '1', '0' for each interwiki link to the interwiki table, is tehre anything esle that needs doing? [01:14:58] no [01:16:00] right. that's what I thought [01:16:11] why is it not working for me then? [01:16:42] well, are you using $ or $1 in the url field? [01:16:48] (the latter is the correct one) [01:16:49] $1 [01:16:52] k [01:16:54] yeah, it's right [01:17:06] and you added them as the correct types? [01:17:34] since that question doen't make perfect sense to me, perhaps not ;) [01:17:59] once I get into phpMyAdmin, I can explain it a bit better ;) [01:18:39] you mean iw_local? [01:18:57] oh.. mysql datatypes? [01:18:59] yes [01:19:15] that was the word I was looking for :P [01:19:51] ok, I think so, I just exported the table, then added my bits, then re-exported the .sql file [01:20:16] hmm... then that is strange [01:20:33] so I have char(32) (primary), char(127), tinyint(1), tinyint(1) [01:21:02] is there any reason why it wouldn't work on user pages? [01:21:27] because that's the only place I've tested it so far [01:21:34] i'm runnin 1.11 [01:21:57] hmm, in my schema it's varchar(32), blob, tinyint(1), tinyint(4) [01:22:11] wow. [01:22:42] why would you need tinyin(4)? [01:22:47] and what's a blob? [01:23:00] idk why it's tinyint(4), it just is :P [01:23:27] http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/blob.html [01:26:25] Hey, how do you increase the limit for user creations in a day by an IP address? [01:27:09] Skizzerz: you don't happen to know what file originally creates the database, do you? [01:28:04] there should be some sort of maintenance script that will do the trick (I'm thinking update.php, but there may be a specialized one) [01:28:29] config.php? [01:29:01] err, /config/index.php [01:29:52] MrZ-man: are you talking to me? [01:29:59] yeah [01:31:05] hrrm... I'm looking [01:31:49] rebuildInterwiki.php perhaps [01:31:52] looks like it runs /maintenance/updaters.inc [01:33:24] oh wow.. I thought it would just inject an .sql file [01:33:50] ah.. it does [01:34:56] interwiki.sql.. but that doesn't define the data types [01:36:39] does anyone know if the datatypes for the interwiki table would affect its operation? [01:38:16] or if the interwiki table can be too big? [01:39:24] because my local language ones work [01:48:51] do the interwiki prefixes have to be lowercase?? [01:50:18] they're case-insensitive [01:50:58] TimStarling: but if they include capitals in the database, should that effect it? [01:51:24] affect? [01:54:01] because the ones with capitals in my database don't seem to be working, but it might be because of something else [01:56:22] wow... that does seem to be the case.. [01:56:56] so, is it possible to have some "easy" editing on uploaded plain text files? its a pain in the ass for users to copy stuff in a file from a wikipage when they need it, but i don't know any other way, any advice? [01:58:01] is it a bug that the prefix in the interwiki table MUST be all lower case?

[02:01:20] i cant find a manual page explaining it, perhaps i'm using bad search criteria [02:01:27] stiv2k_: add the portal namespace, then create them manually [02:01:59] naught101: No, it's not a bug. It was intentional. [02:02:12] stiv2k_: Look for the extra namespaces option. [02:02:19] naught101: what about formatting and stuff? [02:02:25] MZMcBride: look for it where? [02:02:36] mediawiki.org or DefaultSettings.php. [02:02:45] Both will have information about extra namespaces. [02:03:04] stiv2k_: it's all done manually on wikipedia [02:03:27] MZMcBride: ok, thanks. Perhaps I should not that on the mediawiki interwiki page [02:03:32] naught101: ah [02:03:47] MZMcBride: are you talking about this? >> http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ExtraNamespaces [02:03:54] No. [02:03:57] !extranamespaces [02:03:57] --mwbot-- To add a namespace, modify your LocalSettings.php file, and add namespaces via $wgExtraNamespaces.

[02:04:56] interesting [02:06:34] MZMcBride: i can still use that extension to do that too, right? [02:06:55] No. No extension necessary. [02:07:44] well, i mean, i can still use that extension if i didn't feel like adding namespaces through static config-file editing [02:10:22] sounds like MORE effort, not less [02:10:31] true, it does [02:10:38] but still an alternative nonetheless [02:10:43] yep [02:10:48] how can i see what namespaces i have created already? [02:10:59] is the Portal namespace like a reserved namespace in mediawiki [02:11:10] no, you have to add it [02:11:32] in wikipedia, I think it's 100, and portal_talk is 101 [02:11:53] i see [02:13:20] but you can make it what ever you like, as long as it doesn't conflict with something else [02:13:30] right [02:13:36] so how do i see what namespaces i have already [02:14:07] if you haven't added any, then you just have the standard ones. if you do a search on your wiki, they are listed at the bottom [02:14:19] I think they all have numbers below 100 [02:14:33] I dunno what numbers though [02:14:36] Look in DefaultSettings.php. [02:14:42] there you go [02:14:42] Everything you need to know is in there. [02:14:48] Everything. :) [02:16:03] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings is also helpful [02:16:18] uhm [02:19:18] can i make it so only certain people can edit this said namespace [02:20:59] is there a way to remove the index.php from this url: http://wiki.neoturbine.net/index.php/Main_Page [02:21:02] !e LockDown [02:21:02] --mwbot-- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LockDown [02:21:12] No, that's not it...

[04:41:50] :( [04:41:51] ? [04:42:11] I told you hours ago to just install Cite.php. [04:42:20] That's what makes the tags work. [04:42:49] My server isn't allowing it for some st()()pid reason MZMcBride [04:42:59] Huh? [04:43:03] I'm in the process of changing hosts to local [04:43:04] :) [04:43:43] My host* isn't allowing it for some st()()pid reason MZMcBride [04:44:00] Your host doesn't allow copying files to it? [04:44:17] its not allowing the cite includes to work [04:44:35] it accepts the file and chmod , just won't allow the includes [04:44:44] Well, that's plain silliness. [04:44:56] yeah :( [04:45:07] Its a bug probably [04:45:20] is there a work@? [04:45:34] is there a workaround ? [04:45:49] I bet it's not a bug [04:46:37] it is [04:46:49] i triple checked it [04:47:02] also [04:47:18] for some reason it keeps adding a "." to the end of each edit [04:47:22] is that normal ? [04:47:30] Heh. No. [04:47:35] you triple checked that it is a bug? [04:47:40] And you screwed up your Special:Version somehow as well. [04:47:43] TimStarling: yes [04:47:52] I bet you didn't, I bet you triple checked that it doesn't do what you expect [04:48:10] http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Comparison_of_XXXSim <~ tim take a look at the local reference note for silvercard [04:48:16] but just because software doesn't do what you expect doesn't mean it's got a bug [04:48:25] maybe your expectations are wrong [04:48:37] TimStarling: no , its happened to others dude [04:48:41] :) [04:48:52] maybe their expectations are wrong too [04:48:57] I said probably , im not 100% sure about anything :) [04:49:12] TimStarling: whats the problem man ? [04:49:39] just need a work@ [04:49:49] there has to be a way [04:50:20] without having to change everything @ again [04:51:50] I don't see any problems with that page [04:52:06] TimStarling: ... [04:52:12] what is wrong with it? [04:52:30] Take a look at the reference note under the general information table (its under silvercard) [04:52:40] Its take a value of "7" [04:52:43] what about it? [04:52:44] instead of 1 [04:53:05] I want it to take a value of 1 or special character [04:53:47] see what i mean ? [04:54:30] well, bad luck, you can't [04:54:39] the initial snap action seems to be working correctly , its the value thats incorrect [04:54:46] it's not a bug [04:55:17] grrrrrrrrr [04:55:29] TimStarling: no THAT is not a bug , i realize that [04:55:45] what is? the fact that you can't work out how to make it do what you want? [04:56:02] there is NO bug [04:56:38] so... why are you here? [04:57:19] I'm asking if there is a workaround in order to change the value to 1 without having to change the other damned values all over again [04:57:50] you have this: ^{[{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}#endnote_{{{1}}}]} [04:58:02] that makes a numbered external link [04:58:11] the number counts up from 1 for all such links in the document [04:58:22] *Werdna waves [04:58:30] Hello Werdna.

[04:58:54] Interface quirk: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13236 [04:58:55] you can make an external link with your own text instead, with the syntax [http://example.com/ Link text] [04:59:33] but you probably know this already right? [04:59:39] TimStarling: do you recommend that as a mainstream option ? [04:59:58] TimStarling: no i didn't know that i could do that _inside a table_ [05:00:05] for numbered citations? absolutely not [05:00:11] you should use the cite extension [05:00:51] ok what do you recommend would be easier for user to read/comprehend ? [05:01:02] TimStarling: ^ ? [05:01:18] should i revamp the whole page ? [05:02:26] writing that page from scratch would be 10 minutes' work [05:02:34] are you mad at me Tim ?

[08:09:26] yes [08:09:38] are there any other sysops than you ? [08:09:47] no. only me. [08:09:56] then purging would do [08:09:56] 6 users. 1 admin. [08:10:34] purging?

[09:16:51] 03vasilievvv * r32053 10/trunk/phase3/includes/api/ApiQueryAllimages.php: Forgot to svn add it [09:17:18] hmm [09:17:39] undeletepagetitle is pretty vague [09:37:45] is there any way to disable mediawiki's session handling? i have my own database-based one, all setup. but it keeps trying to set it up, and there's no way to do it. (i'm not wanting to edit the core package) [09:42:58] mshadle: there's a hook tha to me *looks* like it's intended to do at least the authentication bit: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/AutoAuthenticate [09:43:42] mshadle: apart from that, mediawiki uses php's built in session handling - so if you want it to store session data in a database, then set php's session storage thingy. [09:48:36] basically, mediawiki will let you use it's b uilt in memcached, or built in files, but i think it has a chicken-and-egg scenario when it comes to anything else [09:49:07] i can't say $wgSessionStarted = true, because that variable isnt used until -after- it does its own wfSetupSession [09:49:16] it should include that already in the check [09:49:44] then it would short-circuit the call to wfSetupSession and allow for anything else to transparently provide the session support [10:03:38] I get a 'permission denied' error when trying to upload an image to my wiki. should the owner of the 'images' directory be 'apache' ? [10:04:31] or should I make that directory writable by everyone ? [10:07:34] ThomasV: it must be writable by whatever user runs the php script [10:08:05] which is "apache" or "www-data" if you are using mod_php, or your own user id when using suphp (often used for shared hosting) [10:08:49] ThomasV: the *owner* of the directories is only relevant if safe_mode is enabled in php. in that case it's tricky to get image uploading/thumbs to work at all. [10:09:12] ok, I made it writable by everoone [10:12:18] ThomasV: that's pretty common, though a bit unsafe :) [10:13:08] can anyone help me with KeepYourHandsToYourself? it doesn't seem to want to work :| (kinda annoying since it seems like the easiest thing in the world to install) :) [10:14:35] I've got it in the extensions dir, require_once'd it and I don't get a PHP error, so it finds it, but everyone can still edit everyone's entries [10:17:43] tanGee: it only limits editing to the actual user page. not all pages created by a user. [10:18:14] (maybe it locks subpages of the user page too, not sure. but that's it) [10:19:46] ah [10:19:53] misunderstood it then... [10:20:04] is there an extension you know of that does what I thought it did? [10:20:20] since mediawiki has no notion of a pages owner, i don't think its possible. [10:20:26] it sounds like you don't want a wiki at all [10:20:38] lol [10:20:43] mediawiki is designed for collabirative editing [10:20:47] you are trying to prevent exactly that [10:20:50] use something else [10:21:19] lol at people discussing beforeConfiguration hook [10:21:28] thats what localsettings are for ;-DDD [10:31:07] on second thought it's not the limiting editing to a user's own pages we needed, just to limit who could edit (ie staff), but I found $wgGroupPermissions :) [10:37:14] !access | tanGee [10:37:14] --mwbot-- tanGee: For information on customizing user access, see .

[11:30:55] Fatal error: Class 'AlphabeticPager' not found in /home/www/projects/sports-wiki.net/sports-wiki.net/includes/SpecialListuserspreview.php on line 44 [11:31:24] my declaration would be class UsersPagerPreview extends AlphabeticPager [11:31:32] hmm [11:31:53] Piero: this is probably does to load order [11:32:04] AlphabetPages should be in autoload [11:32:06] Piero: do you declare the class directly in the "main" file of your extension? [11:32:18] yes [11:32:20] Nikerabbit: but already hen localsettings is executed? [11:32:24] i only have one file [11:32:25] or is it added later? [11:32:43] Piero: that is generally not a good idea, easpecially for special pages. special page code should be loaded on demand. [11:33:13] Piero: i'm not 100% sure this is your problem, but it does sound like it. [11:33:37] are you not supposed to do: $wgSpecialPages['SpecialListuserspreview'] = 'SpecialListuserspreview'; in your file, and then include it in the localsettings.php [11:33:38] Duesentrieb: ah, that's true [11:34:42] Piero: here's the setup i use for a special page called "Contact" (implemented in the SpecialContact class): [11:34:48] $dir = dirname(__FILE__) . '/'; [11:34:48] $wgExtensionMessagesFiles['ContactPage'] = $dir . 'ContactPage.i18n.php'; [11:34:48] $wgAutoloadClasses['SpecialContact'] = $dir . 'SpecialContact.php'; [11:34:48] $wgSpecialPages['Contact'] = 'SpecialContact'; [11:34:50] what im doign here, is just reusing the page SpecialListusers to do the samething with a different display [11:35:34] Piero: yes, but don't do it every time localsettings.php is parsed. defer the declaration of your class to the time when it is needed. see above. [11:36:05] uh, i'm not quite sure what $wgExtensionMessagesFiles does (i didn't put that that). Nikerabbit...? [11:36:28] thats for the internationalization [11:36:41] obviously :D [11:36:45] the file is for internationalization. [11:36:54] but what exactly does registering it in that array do? [11:37:17] Piero: basically, $wgSpecialPages['Contact'] = 'SpecialContact'; sais in what class the special page is implemented. and wgAutoloadClasses['SpecialContact'] = $dir . 'SpecialContact.php' tells what file to load when that class is needed. [11:37:36] it registers the i18n file for mediawiki [11:37:49] for loading it in various places [11:37:49] Piero: that is more efficient, and also has the effect of putting the decalration off until a point in time when the classes it needs are also loaded (or at least known to the autoloader) [11:37:51] so that piece of code goes in my main extension files [11:38:04] file* [11:38:21] Nikerabbit: yes, but it doesn't say "internationalization files for extension", but "extension manages files"... i don't quite get it. [11:38:27] Piero: yes. [11:38:50] Piero: that's pretty much all that goes there (plus extension credits, plus initialization of any config variables) [11:38:57] Duesentrieb: the same thing with different words? [11:39:46] but i dont have 3files like the extension should be implemented... :P i just have one file, and i mean, thats what is done for SpecialListusers.php, which im just copying and extending, why can'T I just do it like SpecialListusers? [11:39:55] Nikerabbit: huh?... oh, damn! i misread "MessageFiles" as "ManagedFiles" and got confused :) [11:40:09] Duesentrieb: that is a achievement :D [11:40:25] Piero: because it seems that at initalization times, the classes you are using are not yet known. [11:40:40] hmm i see now what you mean [11:41:00] Piero: there may be other ways to fix that, but the Right Thing is to split up your extension into two files (or three, if using any extra system messages) [11:41:10] but how can it work with specialListusers then? [11:41:13] hmm ok [11:41:46] the last time i did it my boss didnt want it and i had to redo it in one file.. :( [11:41:56] silly boss. [11:42:09] !extensions [11:42:09] --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. [11:42:28] yeah i know this doc, thats what i used the last time [11:44:03] is somebody here using sidebarex? [11:51:18] it's an sidebar extension to configure groupbased sidebars?! [11:58:17] I'm a sysop in our mediawiki ... how do I change a user's e-mail or reset their password? I can't seem to find a user admin page [11:59:06] there's no way [11:59:11] maybe you can use a script in maintenance [11:59:23] or you can directly set the email in the db [11:59:33] wow [12:13:25] there's an extension called PasswordReset [12:13:48] and there's a maintenance script called changePassword.php [12:29:00] if I forgot the admin password of the wiki , is there a way I can clear or retreive it? [12:29:26] update query in the db apparently [12:32:09] I said, there's an extension and a maintenance script [12:32:35] :) I know. updating the db was easier and it worked just fine [13:07:01] morning [13:07:28] I'm trying to upgrade to the latest mediawiki 1.11.. and I'm getting an error when I run php update.php about some of the php files in the includes dir [13:07:41] do I have to add that includes dir to my php includes path or something first? [13:08:13] http://www.pastebin.ca/946099 [13:08:19] thats the error i get [13:08:40] I'm following the instructions on the wiki [13:10:31] looks like you are missing some files [13:11:02] yeah but I'm not though [13:11:43] [root@resdb-lks wiki]# ls -l /app/htdoc/html/wiki/includes/DefaultSettings.php [13:11:43] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 91565 Mar 3 07:09 /app/htdoc/html/wiki/includes/DefaultSettings.php [13:12:09] it is different from /app/http/html/wiki/includes/SiteConfiguration.php [13:12:12] yeah [13:12:17]
