[01:20:02] i want to create a page that holds all catagories with sub(?) catagories to click on [01:20:11] kind of like a chapter in a book [01:20:28] Dharma: actually, that can be done via $wgGroupPermissions [01:20:32] the extension isn't necessary [01:22:08] brb, firefox crashed. [01:22:23] timma11: Then MW 1.12 is irrelevant, as far as I can see. You can do the same with the MV 1.9 you already have.

[01:41:09] click on the picture to go to that page [01:41:11] im working with php parser [01:41:40] that makes it harder =/ [01:41:56] so i have to cache the picture discription page to get the info about the license?

[01:49:14] its a place wher people change ideas and hints [01:49:32] nickynacky: Well, if you came to the channel to ask questions, you should follow the IRC guidelines and just ask the question and wait for it to get answerd.

[09:52:06] tried an action=purge on them? [09:52:55] Splarka: was that directed at me? if so I'm not sure what you mean [09:54:06] a page's html is cached so as not to stress the parser overmuch, so they might need re-rendering [09:54:29] an edit can do this, but so can a null edit (click edit, click save), but even simpler, an action=purge [09:54:55] copy the edit link, and replace "edit" with "purge" [09:55:36] that seems to be the tick, lovely stuff, thanks alot [09:57:03] Nineth: are you asking where the wikitext of a page is stored?

Im having a hard time makeing heads and tails of some Calendar extensions im looking at, so I thought I'd ask - Does anyone know of/use a calendar that supports repeating events? [11:00:52] repeating as in -- public holidays, weekly/montly events etc. [11:01:17] i search for a calendar extension [11:02:17] You can do worse than the "DPL_Calendar" - but im unsure if it meets my boss' requirements...

I've installed the mod that let only members of a phpBB-Group read and edit the wiki. [12:31:02] is it possible to define 2 groups? [12:31:09] it is [12:31:22] how do I do this? [12:31:40] (thanks for your help, Werdna ;) ) [12:31:54] which code do I have to change? [12:31:59] LocalSettings.php [12:32:07] ok [12:32:29] and then?

[12:43:04] Commercial as in .. selling it? Or commercial as in .. using it in a business? [12:43:43] kenny87: yes. [12:43:49] GPL doesn't restrict to noncommercial purposes [12:43:56] provided you don't actually sell the MediaWiki code [12:43:59] cause that's kinda cheating [12:44:03] as in using it in a business [12:44:08] yeah that's fine [12:44:09] and pointless ;) [12:44:20] Useing it as a product in a business is quite OK. [12:45:18] "why should i buy the code from you when i can go download it for the cost of a few MB in bandwidth?" [12:45:47] thanks guys [12:45:49] lol [12:46:10] of course it would e useless:)) [12:46:23] what dumnasses would take it and selling it? [12:46:37] i would :) [12:46:39] excuse my english:) [12:46:42] hehe [12:46:56] in china, it's certainly forbidden to use mediawiki... :) [12:47:07] why? [12:48:00] depends on the content doesent it? [12:48:22] A government wiki praising the glory of China wouldnt be banned... [12:48:35] in china, nearly everything is forbidden ;) [12:49:36] sauce plz [12:49:43] thats probably why u guys have the best economy:) [12:50:05] Apple-, Cranberry- or Leet-sauce Werdna? :D [12:51:47] well, china is banning Wikipedia, but are they banning MediaWiki, too? [12:52:57] They're banning the content, not the tool... [12:53:02] yeah [12:53:30] Unless mediawiki starts getting political and adding anti-china content to its pages, they should be safe. [12:53:50] Anti-China messages in installer script \o/ [12:53:55] lol, j/k ;-) [12:53:59] kenny87, screw economy, romania has great music :) [12:54:04] in soviet russia, wikimediawiki bans you! [12:54:22] Wouldnt surprise me, but hey... I guess even Coders can have an agenda. heh... [12:54:28] well, I've seen chinese wikis, although they weren't mediawiki... I think they just don't use them because mediawiki isn't "chinese-friendly" as in a chinese installation manual, or even problems with the character set, dunno [12:55:12] I can vividly imagine Chinese as a ... tricky localization. [12:55:36] mediawiki is very chinese friendly [12:55:45] it even has translation between simple and traditional [12:55:59] Good stuff. [12:56:31] Does search work for Chinese, though? [12:56:57] No spaces. :( [12:57:09] i works by tokening two adjecent chars [12:57:20] which is suboptimal, but works for most cases [12:57:24] So sort of like a trigram index, except a digram index. [12:58:07] yeah, something like a ngram index.. supposedly there is chinese tokenizer that gets the words boundaries right [12:58:27] For other languages it's just sort of "has anyone wrote a tokenizer?" kind of thing, I guess. [12:58:38] but i couldn't find anywhere, chinese are probably keeping it secret :P [12:58:45] I bet Google has one. [12:59:06] make is a GSoC project [12:59:20] last time i checked there was no working code, just some very general discusion [13:01:26] it would also be helpful if we had edit distance for chinese chars [13:01:45] i.e. based on radicals, strokes.. [13:02:33] does anybody know the difference between getUserPermissionsErrors, userCan, isAllowed? [13:02:46] Where in the mediawiki isntallation directory is it configured where to look for the corret database? [13:03:14] lymeca: LocalSettings.php [13:03:25] rainman, romania has beautifull girls...as for the music...:-" [13:03:25] I just migrated a MediaWiki isntallation and I need to update the config files to tell it to look for the DB in localhost as opposed to the providers MySQL server DNS name [13:04:07] lymeca: it should be near the top of localsettings.php [13:04:55] Skizzerz, Bryan: So if I change it to the correct DB info should I have to do anything ekse besides save LocalSettings.php? [13:05:03] no [13:05:05] no [13:05:17] I updated the info but when I try and access it it still takes me to the configuraton page [13:05:50] "Please set up the wiki first." in web browser [13:06:07] then you don't have a LocalSettings.php [13:06:37] Well sure i do I just edited it [13:10:46] lymeca: is it a) named LocalSettings.php (capitalisation counts), and b) in the wiki root? [13:11:01] Is there anything else that I should change across MediaWiki migration? [13:11:10] no [13:11:17] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4606 Apr 4 13:05 LocalSettings.php [13:11:34] and it's located in /usr/share/mediawiki/ [13:11:40] hmm... [13:11:41] which is my documentroot [13:11:48] (Debian MediaWiki package) [13:12:07] It's possible the DB dump was bad [13:12:18] I was confused about it yesterday in here. [13:12:36] that setup page only checks the existance of LocalSettings, it would be a different page if your db was bad/corrupted [13:12:45] hmmm [13:13:30] Restarting Apache didn't help/ [13:17:03] All this talk of LocalSettings made me realize I cant find one on our system.. There is a NoLocalSettings tho..

[13:18:43] heh. yes.. But the extension(s) I installl seem to require it and Im not the intended admin. What do I have to do to generate one without messing up stuff? [13:19:08] there is talk of a setup .. `? [13:19:45] I would love for anyone to help me figure out why I'm getting the "set up the wiki config page" when I have a LocalSettings.php with content in it 4606 bytes long in my documentroot? [13:20:35] is your document root pointing to the correct path? [13:20:43] lymeca: document root or wiki root? [13:21:16] Skizzerz: good point [13:21:33] Skizzerz: So have you worked with the Debian MediaWiki package before? [13:21:38] nope [13:21:45] It seems to install the wiki directory into /usr/share/mediawiki [13:22:14] So I moved all the files in the old installation hosted by godaddy from THAT wiki/ folder into /usr/share/mediawiki on my server [13:22:36] I fixed the documentroot so it points to /usr/share/mediawiki and now I'm not getting the config error [13:22:36] does the wiki/ folder still exist? [13:22:46] ah, good then :) [13:22:49] no not really [13:22:55] but when I try to access it [13:22:57] The requested URL /wiki/index.php5/Main_Page was not found on this server. [13:23:03] ... [13:23:11] which makes sense because there is no wiki/ folder anymore [13:23:33] I guess Apache's documentroot points to the wiki/ folder now which is /usr/share/mediawiki/ [13:23:38] update $wgScriptPath and $wgStylePath (and possibly $wgArticlePath if it's defined) [13:23:49] (you'll find those in localsettings) [13:23:57] I want this to be like WIkipedia URLs btw [13:24:08] I don't want that ugly index.php5 stuff [13:24:29] !shorturl [13:24:29] --mwbot-- To create simple URLs (such as the /wiki/PAGENAME style URLs on Wikimedia sites), follow the instructions at .

[13:27:29] no, "" and ".php" [13:28:14] Skizzerz: BEAUTIFUL [13:28:19] Magick! [13:28:38] np :) [13:31:04] Skizzerz: okay this is very interesting. The URLs are now hostname/index.php/Main_Page [13:31:13] ok [13:31:21] Now it would be *ideal* to not have the wiki in the URL like in Wikipedia [13:31:24] this site is *JUST* a wiki [13:31:25] then you're halfway there [13:31:39] !shorturl | lymeca [13:31:39] --mwbot-- lymeca: To create simple URLs (such as the /wiki/PAGENAME style URLs on Wikimedia sites), follow the instructions at . There are instructions for most different webserver setups. If you have problems getting the rewrite rules to work, see !rewriteproblem [13:31:40] but I DID read a bunch about how potentially bad that was on mediawiki.org [13:31:50] We should really just support it. [13:31:52] wanna say: goodbye [13:31:53] hi folks. we need to keep technical documentation on MediaWiki for our products. our products go through multiple versions, and we want to make sure that an article on the wiki is somehow related to the product version it applies to. how is this usually done? [13:32:03] Everyone wants it, and honestly it's not totally stupid or anything. [13:32:03] Simetrical: I agree. [13:32:08] No it's not. [13:32:29] The /wiki/ is more stupid actually for a pure wiki [13:32:46] mers: by editing the article and updating it? I'm not quite sure what you mean [13:33:05] lymeca, . . . like Wikipedia? [13:33:05] :) [13:33:10] =P [13:33:26] Mers: Make a template for your product, and keep the template updated with general info, and the pages based on the template with spesific details... [13:33:31] Well here's what I want ideally: I want people to come to the site and get sent to an index.html that's a custom load page, then I want them to click on the load page and have it send them to http://hostname/Main_Page [13:33:40] Can I do this all in 1 directory? [13:33:42] Skizzerz: if a version changes a document, we don't want to clobber the old document [13:34:20] Skizzerz: e.g. we want the pages for version 1.2 to still be accessible, even though we update them for 1.3 [13:34:25] mers: All changes to articles are kept in the "history" section, where you can see each and every revision [13:34:46] although you could just make different pages for each if you want them completely accessibly [13:34:49] *accessible [13:34:51] You can send along a permanent link to a spesific revision... [13:34:59] Skizzerz: the history section is too fine grained. there can be 500 changes for version 1.2 and it would still be for version 1.2 [13:35:18] mers: Yes, so just make an entirely different page for it [13:36:08] Skizzerz: is there a feature tool which can take a graph of pages and snapshot/tag them? [13:36:15] mers: like http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading_to_1.11 and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading_to_1.12 [13:36:55] Mesophan: permanent links are links to particular edit versions? [13:37:01] The logo on the top left of the site didn't copy over perfectly [13:37:03] wikibob: I really don't know, so checking the extension matrix would be their best bet: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_matrix [13:37:08] Imean it's not showing up at all [13:37:34] Skizzerz: the problem we found with that if If page A links to page B (v1.1) which in turn links to pages C D E F G, changing the version on page B would prompt us having to effect changes on C D E F G. :( [13:37:45] Skizzerz: will check it out [13:38:21] Also: anyone know about why after moving a MediaWiki install the images which are scaled down seem to be fuzzy just the big versions of the pictures scaled down by the web browser isntead of proper thumbnails? [13:39:00] mers: Iirc - yes. There should be something in the Toolbox that says "Permanent Link" - those even works for the revision-history. [13:39:01] wikibob: use a template and just update that to change versions across all pages? [13:41:02] hi ialex :-) [13:41:08] Mesophan: thanks, checking out permanent links [13:41:15] hello Jack_Phoenix :) [13:41:31] *Jack_Phoenix waves [13:41:43] Skizzerz: you mean templates linking to other templates? is that possible [13:41:51] yes [13:42:42] Skizzerz: *insert maniacal voice* eeeeeenteresting! [13:43:06] figured that part out...had to enable use of imagemagic library in localsettings [13:45:36] hi, is there an attribute for users that gives you his last http request date? [13:46:14] Piero: only the last time he modified something [13:46:33] hmmm [13:46:39] hello [13:46:43] hello [13:46:48] hi Nikerabbit :) [13:46:58] hi ialex [13:47:08] you could store the timestamp of the last request on a cookie [13:47:26] ialex: do you spek French? [13:47:30] Nikerabbit: yes [13:47:58] im workin on the social profile extension, et j'ai besoin de la derniere requete de l'utilisateur [13:48:01] :) [13:48:34] Mesophan: the problem with permanent links is that if you go to page X oldId 100, that will still link to the latest version of page Y [13:48:55] so you can't use permanent links to get a snapshot of an article graph [13:49:05] Piero: dans ce cas il faudrait modifier la base de données pour y ajouter un champ qui indique la dernière requête de l'utilisateur [13:49:31] ouai ca marcherait [13:50:08] mais ca veut dire qu'il faut updater la base de donnees a chaque requete [13:50:16] et ca ca pue [13:51:01] c'est le principal problème [13:51:10] c pas possible [13:51:14] c trop lourd [13:51:15] ou sinon utiliser un cache [13:51:22] comme $wgMemc [13:51:35] hmmm [13:54:14] *ialex pokes CIA-44 [13:55:49] j'ai jamais utiliser le cache vraiment... est-ce que ca reste enregistre sur le serveur? [13:56:16] un certain temps, choisi d'avance [13:57:24] okay when I first copied over a mediawiki install not all files in images/thumbs were there apparently and they showed up as missed on some pages [13:57:36] but I just added them but I'm still getting the same error: [13:57:38] Error creating thumbnail: convert: unable to open image `/usr/share/mediawiki/images/thumb/8/8c/Hampedia_logo_big.jpg/280px-Hampedia_logo_big.jpg': Permission denied. [13:58:01] That file is definitely there,and definitely world readable [14:00:59] ialex / Nikerabbit: there are a few annoying, hardcoded string in the SocialProfile extensions (such as line 279 of SpecialUserBoard.php: posted " . $b->getTimeAgo($ub_message["timestamp"])." ago) that should be i18ned...would one of you be willing to fix it? :) and the logging system seems to be relatively buggy too...the logs won't show up on Special:Log even though they do show up on the recent changes [14:01:32] *Mesophan looks around [14:04:07] Jack_Phoenix: ask Piero [14:04:35] you guys are the devs with power and such ;-) [14:07:40] *Skizzerz is teh lazy [14:10:50] 03(mod) Default signature contain a link to the talk page. - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3391 (10catlow) [14:16:37] uh, wtf [14:16:39] $hasHistory = false; [14:16:40] if ( !$reason ) $reason = $this->generateReason($hasHistory); [14:17:22] looks like a normal wtf code [14:18:55] indeed [14:19:36] the deletion code looks generally wtf [14:21:57] the social profile will be available next week [14:22:48] o.0 [14:23:20] that comment makes no sense [14:23:46] hi [14:24:17] i want to create a page visible only to the group administrator is it possible?

So its not a template for settings then... ok. [14:46:36] [14:24:17] siebrand * r32777 /trunk/extensions/ (81 files in 80 dirs): << latest [14:46:55] that is 12:24 UTC [14:47:36] Hi again. Yesterday ialex tried to helped me, but unfortunately without success. [14:47:37] My problem is: I want to get rid of the index.php5 in my URL. Now it looks like http://www.foobar.com/wiki/index.php5/Homepage [14:47:38] .htaccess: http://rafb.net/p/jt3aSn85.html [14:47:40] LocalSettings.php: http://rafb.net/p/N6KWAD52.html [14:47:42] I have the newest mediawiki and my server should be able to use php5 [14:48:04] how come I cannot save the make-up of Wikipedia pages? If i save a any wikipage, lets say en.wikipedia.org/wiki/stone and reopen it from my local pc, it looks like crap, like an 80s WWW page plse redirect if this is not the place [14:48:51] G666RL: you need the style files, look for some option in your webbrowser that says "save full web page", or similar [14:49:21] yah i've done that, it just doesn't save the css or something [14:49:25] or the wrong css [14:49:31] Either that or some other web-sucker that can take everything. [14:49:44] it;'s just FF or IE or opera [14:49:51] usually they work fine [14:50:21] Everyone: Does anyone have any experience with the Wikipainting extension? It seems to work until I try to load a saved image. It saves as a black screen and may be corrupted. Any ideas? [14:50:54] worked for me G666RL [14:51:03] I got the CSS and everything.. [14:51:28] Mesophan: im so happy for you, im trying to figger out why i can't [14:52:07] yeesh.. scratch that. You're right.. that does look like the proverbial ... dung. [14:53:21] all the info is there tho... it just doesent look like a wiki page any more [14:54:15] if you talking about the stone page, thats just an example, i cannot save ANY wiki page with its make-up/css/style-sheet or whatever [14:55:05] Do you get a single-file or the collection? Or nothing at all? [14:55:49] the prob is in http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/shared.css?127 [14:55:52] i think [14:56:37] when i save a page i get that page and a directory with some files that belong to that page, like pics and css and stuff [14:57:01] exept on WP pages, where it somehow screws up the css [14:57:06] i think [14:57:17] im pretty sure about that actually [15:03:51] G666RL: Are you trying to save a Wiki page to view offline, and finding that the format has changed? I think this is because you (presumably) don't have php runnning to put it all together. I'm hardly an expert, though. [15:04:27] yes, as you said [15:04:38] nah [15:04:42] it's because of this: [15:04:44] @import "/skins-1.5/common/shared.css?127"; [15:04:44] @import "/skins-1.5/monobook/main.css?127"; [15:04:45] but i can do that with other pages [15:04:53] yes lch i see that a lot [15:05:11] G666RL: Trying saving a wikipedia page, and see how that looks [15:08:18] G666RL: Is it the same as when you save a Wikipedia page to view offline? i.e. text and images, but no 'wiki' format. [15:09:26] well, there are multiple things that the "save page" functionality doesn't get... CSS @imports, the conditional
