I need a way to easily store and edit tables, spread sheet style. But I would like the rows and columns to be recalled with a template some how. For example, if I have a list of computers for rows, and software packages for columns, when I click a software package I want to display the article for the package and the list of computers which had an "x" for that column [02:01:25] If you haven't allready guessed, I'm trying to setup a knowledge base for an IT shop [02:02:07] The idea would be that the article for 'acme proprietary ware' has a list of computers which it is authorized to be installed on [02:02:17] and any computer has a list of it's authorized applications [02:02:35] I thought about doing it with categories, but the maintenance sounds like a nightmare [02:03:13] I'm fairly competent with php and think I could probably write it myself, but if there is allready a reccomended practice, I'd love to hear it [02:39:09] how do I edit the side bar for my wiki? [02:40:01] nslater: the page mediawiki:sidebar [02:41:37] ooh, thanks [02:41:44] !sidebar [02:41:44] --mwbot-- To edit the navigation menu on the left, edit [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] using its special syntax. For more details, see . [02:42:36] hmm, I just did that, the mediawiki:sidebar now contains no sidebar, but the front page still does [02:42:38] any ideas? [02:42:49] http://www.couchdbwiki.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar [02:42:53] http://www.couchdbwiki.com/ [02:43:05] do new pages contain a sidebar? [02:43:13] ie, pages which would not be in your cache? [02:43:15] (to explain, I deleted the contents of the sidebar) [02:43:30] the sidebar is part of the interface [02:43:32] oh, no... [02:43:41] how long does the cache last? [02:44:11] the cache should be purged upon each edit [02:44:18] if not use ?action=purge [02:44:53] yay, that worked, thanks [02:45:03] one more question, sorry, how do I get a list of all the pages? [02:46:09] Special:Allpages [02:46:20] thank you! [02:50:26] is there any variable to show the user interface language? [03:02:41] Danny_B: yes. [03:03:09] var wgUserLanguage = "en"; is available to javascript, so I assume it's $wgUserLanguage in PHP [03:03:42] Random832: well, i meant in wikitext such as {{CURRENTDAY}} etc are... [03:04:00] I don't believe so [03:04:16] for the same reason there's no {{YOURUSERNAME}} [03:04:18] Danny_B, $wgLang [03:04:23] Oh, wikitext. [03:04:24] No. [03:04:25] Of course not. [03:04:27] *Simetrical goes to bed [03:05:00] Simetrical: in theory there's no reason - it won't interfere with caching for logged-in users any more than date preferences do, and for non-logged in, it's invariant per URL (since &uselang=... makes a different URL) [03:06:02] Danny_B: meta uses javascript for its magic in welcome messages. [03:06:31] see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Random832 [03:06:45] that's not exactly what i'm looking for [03:06:50] i know that trick [03:07:02] what are you looking for then? [03:07:20] anyway, i can override it using {{int:}} then ;-) [03:07:30] what are you trying to do? [03:07:49] show the page in user prefered lang [03:07:59] you can't do that with javascript like the welcome message? [03:08:25] not a question if i can't. i don't want to since it's hella nasty [03:08:36] where exactly are you trying to do this? [03:09:08] couple places. nvm, i'll use {{int:}} for that [03:24:27] I have a question regarding the Renameuser extension, it seems to be crashing my wiki, causing all pages to be blank when the extension is installed. Anyone who could enlighten me? [03:27:14] Anyone> [03:42:30] check your localsettings.php line what you add [03:42:43] and var.log/errorlog [03:43:00] oo he has gone [03:43:45] Nice, Suisuisui [03:44:34] heh [03:44:37] It's important to ask a question, and then leave if you don't an answer in 250 milliseconds. [03:44:44] get* [03:45:17] thoo short :D [03:47:35] Too long [03:47:51] lol [04:04:57] 03(mod) Create Wikimania 2009 website - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13547 (10e.wikipedia) [04:11:14] k4jcw: to be fair, he waited six minutes, and wasn't answered for another twelve. [04:17:01] OK [04:17:03] *Enterprise_Cat is back [04:19:34] hi [04:19:46] http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%AD%D8%A9_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D8%A6%D9%8A%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9 [04:19:57] how should i configure wimedia to set it for right to left script script like here ? [04:20:48] Random832: OK, what should I do? [04:23:14] 23:43 < Suisuisui> check your localsettings.php line what you add [04:23:14] 23:44 < Suisuisui> and var.log/errorlog [04:23:54] IbrahimZ: it's a css thing [04:24:10] I don't see var.log [04:24:28] I added to localsettings.php: require_once( "{$IP}/extensions/Renameuser/SpecialRenameuser.php" ) [04:24:43] put ; [04:25:32] D'OH [04:25:41] /var/log [04:26:11] you could see php error on var/log [04:26:16] (I hope) [04:26:38] Ahh, now it works [04:26:50] Damn, I wish all the php pages explained install directories as good as the CURL page [04:27:39] /var: No such file or directory [04:27:57] O_o... blasphemy! [04:28:16] Although it works fine now, thanks [04:28:30] Random832, since i see this in this page, i think that it should be some configuration too , or not ? [04:28:34] Well, if you're trying to run a server on windoze... you'll need to track down the logs yourself [04:29:56] ^_^ I think this will be my third experimental PHP compile today... [04:30:06] enjoy MediaWiki :) [04:30:15] Damn, just testing out possible configuration takes painfully long [04:30:37] ^_^ Can't wait till I have it setup so I have to compile php twice just to upgrade... rofl [04:30:59] heh... and eAccelerator hasn't even entered the picture yet [04:32:26] eAccelereator .. is it works well on single server? [04:32:35] IbrahimZ: yeah maybe. i don't know [04:32:47] Hmm [04:32:53] I can't access Special:Allmessages [04:32:55] Random832, thanks [04:33:04] why? i didn't help much [04:33:13] *Random832 clueless [04:33:22] Doesn't matter what kind of setup you have (Unless you're using old cgi instead of fastcgi, or just using cli, or don't have visitors) eAccelerator normally cuts times in half [04:33:41] Suisuisui: I can't access Special:Allmessages now [04:35:42] hm? [04:35:52] what about other pages? [04:36:21] Special pages are not loading [04:36:24] All others are [04:36:46] Rather, Special pages are loading very slowly [04:36:55] But Special:Allmessages is simply loading with a blank screen [04:37:27] can you see Special:specialpages ? [04:37:41] Suisuisui: Yes [04:39:49] hms [04:40:17] Suisuisui: Should I provide a link to the wiki? [04:41:09] you better to try find error.log as I think :D [04:41:50] Random832, in LocalSettings.php setting $wgLanguageCode = "ar"; instead of "en" and all is rigth to left now :) [04:42:33] ok [04:42:54] hmm, that implies, to me, that mediawiki maintains an intrinsic knowledge of what languages are rtl [04:42:58] is that correct? [04:43:36] Suisuisui: Where would this file be? [04:43:36] yes Random832 [04:44:01] it's blog to your os/apache settings [04:44:36] if you use windows, it shold be under program files(J\(Bapache [04:44:44] Suisuisui: I am running on a shared host [04:44:50] oh [04:45:10] Suisuisui: eh? [04:45:21] "program files(J\(Bapache" [04:45:30] is your irc client using some kind of ISO 2022 coding? [04:45:38] yes [04:45:48] I'm Japanese ;) [04:45:54] ah [04:46:28] your client can't be set to only use that in japanese channels, and use latin1 or utf8 where appropriate in english-speaking channels? [04:47:54] I use xchat so I can set utf-8, but it need to new server tab and new connection to freenode, it's not smart and I'm lesy ;) [04:48:40] ah [04:48:48] i thought you could set it per-room [04:48:49] Enterprise_Cat: your host dosent have a log folder? [04:48:57] it's not :( [04:49:17] Suisuisui: No, at least I can't access it [04:49:40] okk then all we can do is just gussing [04:50:27] Allmesseges have a javascript, and the page is heavy [04:51:21] can you see php settings? [04:51:36] use [04:51:47] Where do I use that? [04:52:28] make a newfile phpinfo.php [04:52:52] just put in the file [04:52:52] And paste that in the file? [04:52:57] yup [04:53:02] and see it [04:53:08] *Dantman prefers to use on your browser [04:53:25] oh yes ack my ; was stripped out [04:53:49] And the ?> isn't needed [04:54:03] ^_^ Excess bytes, rofl [04:55:28] Suisuisui: I see a readout [04:56:17] find html_errors first , is it on? [04:56:51] Suisuisui: Yes [04:57:37] ok [04:57:49] next is memory_limit [04:58:04] 16M [04:58:18] ooh too short.. [04:58:19] Suisuisui: ^ [04:58:22] oh [04:58:40] Suisuisui: How would I fix it? [05:01:03] no, you need more explore is it real problem or not [05:02:13] Suisuisui: OK [05:04:36] chacking something.. [05:06:29] can you make a big page ? [05:06:43] such as 100kb or more [05:08:25] Uhh [05:08:29] I guess [05:08:37] hm [05:08:43] try it [05:13:08] Suisuisui: Succesfully created and subsequently edited a 191KB page [05:13:45] okk [05:13:49] for settinf our own logo how should i do ? [05:15:12] IbrahmZ: it's a FAQ, so find FAQ is better now [05:15:41] Enterprise_Cat; so, it may be some other problem.. [05:16:28] hmm [05:17:02] *Dantman contemplates how evil it would be to /nick !wg [05:17:35] did you install mediawiki with your_mediawiki-path/config ? [05:18:22] Suisuisui: Yes [05:18:58] so your php exec time limit is ok. maybe [05:19:43] and you all did are only edit localsettings.php [05:19:45] ? [05:20:02] Suisuisui: And install extensions, yes [05:21:14] ok [05:21:39] how about index.php?title=Special:Allmessages&ot=xml [05:22:32] note it blank page is somewhat php execute is suspended or php error [05:30:14] Suisuisui: That worked [05:31:33] ooh then your Special:Allmessage.php is works [05:33:39] ok try to Special:llAllmesages?purge=1 [05:37:02] Suisuisui: Didn't work [05:37:55] ok last one [05:38:03] clear your browse cache [05:38:11] browser [05:41:47] Clearing cache [05:42:16] Dosen't work [05:43:13] so.. it's sad problem... as I guess [05:43:31] what the problem is? [05:43:51] MrZ-man: I can't get Special:Allmessages to work on my new wiki [05:43:58] he can see index.php?title=Special:Allmessages&ot=xml but not Special:Allmessages [05:44:03] what's it doing? [05:44:22] blank page or a fatal error? [05:44:27] blank [05:44:45] is it possible for entries to exist in categorylinks for a nonexistent page (not nonexistent category) for any length of time? [05:45:06] Enterprise_Cat: do you have a link? [05:45:16] i.e. is categorylinks cleared out separately (e.g. by the job queue) at some later date after page deletion, and could stuff hang around indefinitely if something goes wrong with that job? [05:45:21] MrZ-man: Stand by [05:45:39] http://fastlizard4.10gbfreehost.com/index.php/Special:Allmessages [05:47:54] Enterprise_Cat: try commenting out some extension includes in LocalSettings, one at a time [05:48:14] OK [05:48:45] oh that could be.. [05:55:08] Enterprise_Cat: it seems to be working now [05:55:34] Yeah, I hid all extensions then started re-enabling them [05:56:35] Then you just have to figure out which one is breaking it [05:56:44] It appears to be ParserFunctions [05:56:57] I can't see why [05:57:27] ParserFunctions is used by Wikimedia, and shouldn't affect special pages [05:57:44] do any of your messages contain parser functions? (shouldn't afflict it, but might) [05:57:52] grep Allmessages for {{# [05:58:06] No [05:59:42] wait, I was looking at the wrong page [05:59:50] its still not working [06:00:11] its actually worse now [06:00:17] undo whatever you just did [06:00:44] okay, that's better [06:00:48] Huh [06:00:54] It looks like it is ParserFunctions [06:00:58] OR NewUsersLog [06:01:25] both almost core, both used on wikimedia, both rigorously tested against trunk [06:04:15] hmm, try using this version of ParserFunctions - http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_12/extensions/ParserFunctions/ [06:05:14] It actually appears to be newuserlog and only affecting the HTML output [06:09:55] I guess I can live with the PHP version of the page, though [06:14:49] MrZ-man: How do you create a namespace?

I'm mwbot, a bot that was quickly whipped up by Daniel Cannon (AmiDaniel) to help out around #mediawiki. Some quick help is at < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mwbot >, you can find all my source code at < http://amidaniel.com/viewvc/trunk/MWBot/?root=svn >. A dump is now available at < http://tools.wikimedia.de/~amidaniel/botbrain.html > [10:52:53] g'day. i'm the admin and db admin of a mediawiki board. i had created a second account so that I was always uid 1, but then failed to give myself buerocrat (sp). now, i can't remember the password for uid 1. can I change it simply enough via the database? [10:54:39] make a new user, give him the sysop/bureaucrat rights via db [10:54:52] dung: he wants uid 1 though ^_^ [10:54:56] the password is stored in the DB usually as md5( "{$userid}-{md5( $password)}" ) [10:55:10] just make up a new one and insert it [10:55:12] uid 2 is just the same as uid 1 [10:55:31] dungodung: no. uid1 gets sysop and buerocrat automatically and always. [10:55:35] so? [10:55:37] i was more using it as short hand to refer to "the first account". [10:55:55] Splarka: so MySQL's MD5() should be able to gen the password too then? [10:55:58] rename the uid 1 to something else and rename uid 2 to uid 1's username [10:55:59] who cares [10:56:06] who cares what the uid # is [10:56:26] well, any md5 should be the same, in theory [10:57:08] 3150ebb33886093b2e20871b33410bbc would be password 'foo' for UID 1 (in theory) [10:57:50] update user set user_password = md5('ahem') where user_id = 1; [10:58:00] didn't seem to work... i'll just copy my known md5 hash from the other user ;) [10:58:28] won't work [10:58:32] different user ID [10:58:44] oh? it's salted with the uid? [10:58:48] oh. jeez, sorry. [10:58:49] ... [10:58:54] i didn't catch that above. [10:58:56] md5( "{$userid}-{md5( $password)}" ) [10:58:58] heh [10:59:14] well, of course, depends on if $wgPasswordSalt is used [10:59:24] but that is usually the case [11:00:36] *Werdna waves [11:01:11] *Splarka baffles Werdna from oscillating [11:01:12] there we go. thanks! [11:01:24] np [11:05:24] ermm, if i wanna update from 1.9.X to 1.12.0, do i just need to overwrite the necessary files, or completely delete the old folder and upload the new files?

[13:29:08] hey guys, ive got a problem with my wikimedia installation [13:29:36] i want to install it with my browser, but i see only a blank site [13:30:26] line 30 is $pagename = $wgTitle->getText(); //name of page w/ spaces, not underscores [13:31:36] what i have to do with it? [13:33:51] !blankpage | KidWiruz [13:33:51] --mwbot-- KidWiruz: A blank page usually indicates a fatal PHP error. See !error [13:33:56] !debug | KidWiruz [13:33:56] --mwbot-- KidWiruz: For information on debugging (including viewing errors), see . [13:35:51] But i have not a LocalSettings.php in my includes dir [13:36:20] KidWiruz: It should not be in includes dir. [13:36:37] If you have installed MediaWiki, localsettings.php is created. [13:36:47] It is in the root directory of your wiki. [13:37:13] But to install mediawiki doesn't work [13:37:42] KidWiruz: look in apache's error log. [13:37:51] ok [13:38:02] (or php's error log, if that is separate) [13:38:40] i haven't an error log, because i have my webspace online [13:38:55] and if i test the installation local, it works [13:38:57] webspace is usually online :) [13:39:04] ^^ [13:39:18] at my local apache it works [13:39:25] (wampp) [13:39:58] KidWiruz: log access should be available on a shared host too. complain if it isn't. [13:40:11] and ask the admin there to look into the log and tell you what's wrong [13:41:46] i have found it on the forum of my free webhoster [13:41:48] (http://forum.kilu.net/viewtopic.php?t=5805&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=mediawiki) [13:45:46] it works, i have commented "@ob_implicit_flush( true );" in install-utils.inc [13:45:51] cya [14:02:27] 03(NEW) Combined log makes control of reviewers very difficult - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13561 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki extensions: FlaggedRevs; (pbirken) [14:05:35] Simetrical: in theory there's no reason - it won't interfere with caching for logged-in users any more than date preferences do, and for non-logged in, it's invariant per URL (since &uselang=... makes a different URL) <-- It will interfere with caching for logged-in users more than the date preferences already do, because it fragments the cache more. [14:05:52] You have to maintain a parser cache for peo [14:05:59] s/.*// [14:06:37] You'd have to maintain separate caches for every date preference/language combination, which is a lot more than just for every date preference. [14:06:51] There are other preferences that fragment parser cache, but we haven't added more in a long time. [14:08:02] If we had some robust mechanism for doing a simple search-and-replace on cached copies, so we could handle different preferences by the same parser cache copy with a quick search-and-replace operation, then this kind of thing would be much more feasible. [14:14:29] I see a disparity in the texvc math support between my Ubuntu (MW 1.7.1) and the latest wikipedia version. LaTeX bmatrix doesn't appear to be supported on mine. [14:15:42] Are the projects using something other than texvc? (Yes, I know they're keeping up with the latest subversion) [14:16:34] Mookie, they're using texvc, AFAIK. [14:17:33] Hrm. Even "/begin{array}" gives me a parse error. Simple formulas work fine. [14:18:04] So, I can't see a permissions problem... or upload dir problem... [14:20:19] Maybe I should compile a custom version of texvc. I just installed the Ubuntu packaged version. [14:20:32] Mookie, you mean \begin{array}, right? [14:20:51] yeah, I'm using backslash correctly. :) [14:21:34] Multiple tries... cut and paste from AmsMath and various other sources. :) It's not just the array either, bmatrix too. Which, of course, probably uses array underneath. [14:22:21] I'm gonna try a simple array from texvc on command line and narrow this down. [14:26:36] hi! if I want to convert the mediawiki text of a local wikipedia mirror to plain text for a fulltext indexer - does a regex like s/\[[^\]]+\]// suffice to remove the wikitext tags? [14:28:41] josch: nope, you'd have to expand templates and normalise other input such as bold, itlaics, underline, allowed html, tables etc. [14:29:22] josch, you might take a look at MediaWiki's code for doing the same. [14:29:30] Wherever that is. [14:29:33] Must be somewhere.

[15:05:56] You can make a page then blank it. [15:06:05] Maybe the API allows it. [15:08:57] Simetrical: yeah, ended up doing that. but it's annoying that mediawiki: pages revert to the default when you create them then blank them [15:09:14] Oh, you mean MediaWiki-namespace pages, or what? [15:09:17] Yes, that's a little annoyin. [15:09:18] g. [15:09:24] It's not clear what a good alternative solution would be. [15:09:36] yes [15:09:43] the message be blank? [15:09:54] You need some way to revert to the default. [15:10:03] You can delete the page, but that's undesirable, since it hides the history. [15:10:03] deleting the page works [15:10:13] oh, yeah [15:14:00] Okay, texvc is returning F code, which means unknown function, on "\begin" [15:17:04] 03ialex * r32583 10/trunk/phase3/includes/ (LBFactory.php LBFactory_Multi.php): [15:17:04] Some fixes to the new load balancement system: [15:17:04] * return LBFactory::getExternalLB() as reference to avoid an E_NOTICE in ExternalStoreDB::getLoadBalancer() [15:17:04] * remove unused global declaration of $wgExternalServers in LBFactory_Multi::getExternalLB() [15:26:59] This is really frustrating. I have no idea why texvc won't parse "\begin{array}". Surely it's a missing TeX package. [15:29:08] I get "F\begin" back. F = unknown command. [16:06:18] Ok. I need a texvc expert here. A TeX implementation that does not recognize "\begin" ? [16:06:45] Obviously not, tried it in the sandbox on WP and it worked fine.

[21:02:19] Sean_Colombo: if there are hooks that exist but aren't listed, please list them and create a documentation sub-page for them [21:02:46] will do [21:03:08] there seem to be quite a few...

I just updated to 1.13alpha from 1.12alpha using svn and everything seems to be working except for two things. My Special:Categories page doesn't show any categories and file uploads don't work; I get the error "The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver." I don't recall having a "public" directory prior to the upload. My images are stored in "images". Do I need to change something to go back to the old behav [21:11:07] I wish some of the pages could be tagged [21:11:08] Actually, that's what we need - a way to list protected pages. [21:11:32] MinuteElectron, like Special:ProtectedPages? [21:11:39] :P [21:11:57] pwned [21:12:33] I meant update, not upload. [21:14:09] I just updated to 1.13alpha from 1.12alpha using svn and everything seems to be working except for two things. My Special:Categories page doesn't show any categories and file uploads don't work; I get the error "The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver." I don't recall having a "public" directory prior to the update. My images are stored in "images". Do I need to change something to go back to the old behavior? [21:15:40] dmnt, did you run update.php? [21:16:37] yes [21:16:45] no errors [21:19:20] Being that the hooks docs are so out of date, :(... could anyone recommend a hook that would let me access the content of an article (to change it) right before it's rendered and have the ability to tell if that article is a redirect and where it was redirected from? [21:19:30] (ie: i need access to the article and title I think) [21:19:35] ouputpagebefotrhtml [21:19:43] dmnt, are you sure? Is your category table correctly populated? [21:20:04] Sean_Colombo, up-to-date hook docs are in docs/hooks.txt in the MW install. [21:20:20] Sean_Colombo, accessing content right before it's rendered might not be reliable due to caching. [21:20:23] Positive update.php was run error-free. When you say category table, you're talking about in the DB, right? [21:20:46] Simetrical, I can check, but it was all working before the update, even Special:Categories. [21:20:49] Simetrical: thanks [21:21:01] Simetrical: but the hooks.txt is also out of date (is missing some hooks) [21:21:25] Sean_Colombo, such as what? [21:21:30] ArticleAfterFetchContent [21:21:49] it's in Article.php but not hooks.txt (at least not in my version of hooks.txt) [21:23:01] Sean_Colombo, it's in hooks.txt . . . [21:23:03] 03aaron * r32602 10/trunk/extensions/FlaggedRevs/FlaggedRevs.php: Some user (PHP 5) had a reference error here, so change this to be safe. [21:23:21] would you know why on my wiki [21:23:30] I cannot display if statements in a template [21:23:32] http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki?view=rev&revision=28125 [21:23:36] !parserfunctions | yuss [21:23:36] --mwbot-- yuss: "Parser functions" are a way to extend the wiki syntax. ParserFunctions is an extension that provides the basic set of parser functions (you have to install it separately!). For help using parser functions, please see . For details about the extension, see . [21:24:17] dmnt, 1.13 adds a new table, category. update.php should populate it correctly. Special:Categories and category pages use it, so if it's not populated those will be broken. [21:24:35] dmnt, as for images, are you running in safe mode? [21:24:50] No safe mode. [21:25:24] Simetrical: thanks! [21:25:24] dmnt, make sure images/ is chmod -R 777, or else chown -R to your webserver user. [21:25:24] (e.g., apache) [21:27:45] Simetrical: will it take some time for my categories table to populate? I just refreshed the page and there is now one category shown on Special:Categories (I have hundreds of categories). [21:28:11] Could it have something to do with the job queue? [21:28:15] dmnt, no. [21:28:28] dmnt, try running: php maintenance/populateCategory.php --force [21:29:04] :/ failed [21:29:34] dmnt, saying what? [21:29:42] "failed" is not helpful. [21:29:59] I know. Give me a sec.

[21:34:03] Do you think it's possible this is a bug? [21:37:38] Is it me or is mediawiki.org slow tonight? [21:37:55] dmnt, well, yes, if the category population doesn't work, something's wrong. [21:38:15] I don't know what steps should be taken to prevent that on Postgres. [21:38:22] On MySQL it apparently works okay. [21:38:29] At least it did for me, and Wikipedia. [21:39:20] Okay.
