Is there a way to get MediaWiki to send page contents with Content-Type: text/plain [04:47:53] !action [04:47:53] --mwbot-- I don't know anything about "action". You might try: !actions !file !purge [04:48:00] !actions [04:48:00] --mwbot-- For default actions understood by MediaWiki, see [04:48:09] !content-type [04:48:09] --mwbot-- I don't know anything about "content-type". [04:48:15] skierpage: you can use &action=raw&ctype=text/css [04:48:17] in firefox anyways [04:48:47] but the list of allowed content-types is purposely very controlled due to some browser vulnerabilities [04:49:05] IE will ignore mimetype in some cases, if it sees a file extension it recognizes [04:49:30] awesome, I'll try it. [04:51:22] you could also use the API [04:53:49] Weird, this wiki won't do it. [04:53:51] http://semantic-mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Smw_service_online_maps&action=raw&ctype=text/plain [04:54:16] but the list of allowed content-types is purposely very controlled due to some browser vulnerabilities [04:54:23] there is no text/plain allowed [04:56:23] bahaha [04:56:26] happy star wars day [04:56:29] May the 4th be with you [04:57:24] OK, but http://semantic-mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Smw_service_online_maps&action=raw&ctype=text/css returns [04:57:26] /* Empty */ [04:57:27] Maybe it's just this wiki, [04:57:29] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Aboutpage&action=raw&ctype=text/css [04:57:31] works as you describe [04:57:51] hmm [04:58:04] well &action=raw&ctype=text/plain returns Content-Type: text/x-wiki; charset=utf-8 [04:58:20] which is the same as no ctype defined [05:00:34] hmm [05:00:51] skierpage: the problem with that page is it doesn't exist [05:01:12] it has content only because it is a system message with a default [05:01:21] http://semantic-mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Smw_service_online_maps&action=edit [05:01:26] notice there is no history tab [05:01:46] so there is no way to return the content if it doesn't have any, except in view or edit [05:02:06] create the page and it will work [05:03:23] also: http://semantic-mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&titles=MediaWiki:Sidebar [05:03:41] Splarka, I see where you're going but http://semantic-mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Smw_service_online_maps&action=view does exist?! Maybe some subtle internal rewrite that works for one and not the other. [05:04:09] so there is no way to return the content if it doesn't have any, except in view or edit [05:04:43] that is because system messages are editable in the wiki interface as content pages, but no longer have to exist as such [05:04:55] Yeah, it's the spaces. [05:05:17] spaces? [05:07:58] OK, light is dawning, I didn't realize MediaWiki: had that default feature. Thanks again. [05:09:16] So there's no reliable way to show the source of a system message if is the default and thus doesn't really exist. Hmmm. [05:14:17] well, edit, heh [05:14:28] *Splarka pokles Werdna [05:14:33] what? [05:15:00] any idea how to get the default text of a non-existant (page) system message? [05:15:07] other than action=edit and action=view [05:15:41] hmm, maybe meta=allmessages [05:20:16] skierpage: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=allmessages&ammessages=Filepath&amlang=en works, as does http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=allmessages&ammessages=Filepath&amlang=he ... however, these are rather new options, and don't work on the wiki you're using [05:22:13] Good to know. [05:35:33] Splarka: they were commited before 1.12 release iirc [05:36:08] AaronSchulz: ping [05:37:58] VasilievVV: hmm, is there any method prior to that to get the raw wikicode of the system messages if there is only a default?

[08:23:58] So I don't think you have much to worry about! [08:24:12] Mhmm [08:24:21] I'm testing it on my Dev server atm [08:25:02] It sounds reasonable, I never quite got why $wgSharedDB was so restricted. [08:25:34] Ya [08:25:51] It's actually quite annoying [08:26:41] I know as a hard fact... If you tweak tableName to include 'interwiki' as a table to share... You don't need to worry about making some wierd interwiki table updating script [08:26:54] That's what I was thinking too. [08:26:56] Meant for small groups of wiki of course [08:26:59] Ya [08:27:09] I've done it before and it's worked beautifully [08:27:12] :) [08:27:32] And on large sites like Wikia... Imagine how many database tables you could eliminate... [08:27:56] I don't care how small a row is... When you multiple hundreds of rows, by arround 5000 wiki... That's a fair bit of data [08:28:03] multiply* [08:28:14] The current implementation isn't very useful anymore anyway, sharing the user table isn't very good compared to what CentralAuth provides. [08:28:20] 03dale * r34198 10/trunk/extensions/MetavidWiki/ (5 files in 3 dirs): improved IE support for remote inline display of captions [08:28:22] Ya... [08:28:33] Though CentralAuth doesn't suit my needs either [08:28:36] oh? [08:29:24] Well... other than the fact that I also need to allow logging into a WordPress blog and a phpBB forum [08:29:42] I believe that there were some differences in it's purpose to what I needed [08:30:38] Trying to use OpenID failed to [08:30:46] So I'm probably going to build my own system [08:30:59] I think it was mainly developed so that accounts could be merged, but as a side effect it also means that you can have different preferences on each wiki. [08:31:13] Ya... [08:31:18] a trade-off... [08:31:32] with a fully shared table, you can have the same user ID on every wiki.. [08:31:44] My purpose is a loose linking between local user and a global account [08:31:48] (also, it is possible to split preferences on Wikia.. in fact sharing them effectively was a hard task) [08:32:02] You could tie into the phpbb forum using the phpbb auth extension though, one might exist for wordpress aswell. [08:32:27] hmm, Datrio merged mediawiki and phpbb for Wikia [08:32:38] he even made a phpbb monobook skin and wikicode parser [08:33:04] Though it didn't turn out completely well [08:33:12] (but it used the mediawiki session IIRC) [08:33:20] yah yah, always one failure point to ruin your whole day [08:42:42] *Warpath yawns :O [08:51:16] How was it we purge the interwiki cache? [08:57:19] ^_^ Ok it's working [08:58:10] My dev server has no interwiki table... I have Wikipedia listed in my commons table... And when the cache was purged all interwiki links on dev started working [09:00:27] dantman, would you be interested in an open source authentiation tool that does most of what you need ? [09:00:32] 03dantman * r34199 10/trunk/phase3/ (3 files in 2 dirs): New variable $wgSharedDBtables. This allows altering of the list of tables which enabling $wgSharedDB affects.

[09:07:40] Plus, it's java... One of the things I was trying to avoid [09:07:55] If I wanted something like that I already looked into CAS [09:08:07] Have you tried LDAP? [09:08:40] A-Select does support LDAP [09:08:49] I'm just going for a database setup with a PHP client and a rails management app [09:09:34] there are many such implementations already and some provide debatable security [09:09:54] And all are completely different than what I'm trying to do [09:10:37] you need to connect multiple environments providing a single user logon [09:10:57] And I can do that perfectly fine without a heavyweight Java app [09:10:58] what is different ? [09:11:20] All I want is to authenticate against an external DB [09:11:58] nothing differen here [09:12:15] but it is your choise [09:12:22] nothing different there either [09:24:49] 03(mod) Image redirect implementation is very confusing - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13943 (10siebrand) [09:27:17] If anyone wants it...

[14:26:10] LordAnubis, see the [[User-Agent]] article for details on what a User-Agent string is. Check VB docs for how to set it when using VB. [14:26:32] Aha, Simetrical , so you are saying that this Wikimedia error is typical of not using a User-Agent ? [14:26:47] LordAnubis, it's typical of using the default User-Agent for your scripting language.

[15:52:33] Misza made one, but he hasn't been on IRC for ages, and wikia has one but they won't release it [15:55:09] Clearly we need to switch to the Affero GPL. [15:55:17] AaronSchulz, we have AJAX watch! [15:55:42] I added that!

[17:11:19] oh, sorry [17:11:22] i am, [17:11:23] sorry [17:15:04] anyone? [17:15:52] ... [17:15:57] hey [17:16:01] Is there a way to globally turn off section edit links. Like in the config? [17:16:04] im trying to set up my wiki [17:17:15] i'm trying to set up short urls, using .htaccess . i got the site working, but without the skins [17:19:33] !shorturl | donkeykong [17:19:33] --mwbot-- donkeykong: 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 [17:19:40] deltaray2, why would you want to, out of curiosity? [17:20:03] i think i did, but it's for when you install example.com/w/... [17:20:13] im installing to example.com/... [17:20:14] Simetrical: This is for a documentation site. And its mostly going to be me editing the documents, not people reading it. I think the edit links will look a little strange. [17:20:23] Simetrical: Do you know of a way? [17:20:41] deltaray2, you could blank the message "editsection-brackets", I guess. [17:20:57] Well, blanking won't work. [17:21:06] Replace it with or something. [17:21:22] Why don't you just turn off editing for these other people, if you want them to just be reading? [17:21:33] More to the point, why are you using wiki software if only you're going to be editing? That's not what it's meant for. [17:23:14] Simetrical: I'm not really asking for your opinion on whether I should be using a wiki or not. I like using a wiki and some people will be editing it besides me, but not everybody. I don't want to confuse newbie type people with the edit links. [17:23:41] deltaray2, my point is that you shouldn't be surprised that there's no facility for using the software in a way it's not designed to be used. [17:23:49] And also I myself don't really like the section edit links. I know I can turn them off on a page by page basis with the magic work __NOSECTIONEDIT__, but I'd rather if I could just do it globally. [17:24:05] Simetrical: Lots of people use wikis for documentation. [17:24:21] Doesn't mean that's what it's meant for, or that it will have features designed for that. [17:24:29] There isn't, I think, any way to do what you want "properly" without some hacking. [17:24:47] You can get a decent approximation, as I said, by replacing MediaWiki:editsection-brackets with or something. [17:25:09] Ok, well that's all I wanted to know. I guess I could make a template that could do some common settings like that and make every page use that template. [17:25:23] Ok, thanks. [17:25:26] *Jack_Phoenix waves to ialex :-) [17:25:44] hi Jack_Phoenix :) [17:25:49] rar [17:26:43] could anyone help me? [17:27:00] !ask | donkeykong [17:27:00] --mwbot-- donkeykong: Don't say "I have a question", or ask "Is anyone around?" or "Can anyone help?". Just ask the question, and someone will help you if they can. Also, please read < http://workaround.org/moin/GettingHelpOnIrc > for a good explanation of getting help on IRC. [17:27:10] What is ? I can't find it on any of the html character entity lists. [17:27:28] oh, sorry. i thought i asked my question already [17:27:38] deltaray2, it's just a space. [17:27:56] donkeykong: Oh, I ddn't see, sorry. [17:27:58] ignore me [17:28:08] lol [17:28:09] deltaray2, you need to look at Unicode character lists to find what numeric codes mean. [17:28:27] deltaray2, anyway, another way would be to add to Common.css: .editsection { display: none; } [17:28:31] That would probably be a better way. [17:28:46] Yes yes. that would be a good way. [17:28:47] minuteelectron: i installed mediawiki, and i put in the .htaccess to shorten urls, [17:28:51] thanks, good idea. [17:29:02] but the skins aren't working [17:29:09] donkeykong, because you're ignoring instructions. [17:29:19] ... [17:29:24] what am i missing? [17:29:25] You're using a method that explicitly says DO NOT INSTALL TO THE ROOT DIRECTORY and installing to the root directory. [17:29:27] And expecting it to work. [17:29:31] oh [17:29:36] Use one of the ones that are designed to rewrite to the root directory. [17:29:40] They're there, scroll down. [17:29:51] but when i installed it in /w, and went to my site, [17:30:01] it just showed my the directory [17:30:23] donkeykong, what method are you using? [17:30:44] What .htaccess file are you using? Where did you get it? [17:30:47] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/wiki/Page_title_--_no_root_access [17:31:58] shoot, i'll be back in a second [17:33:03] back [17:33:54] so, it seems to say to upload it to "mysite.com/w/..." [17:34:08] but when i do that, and go to www.mysite.com, [17:34:15] it just shows directory of / [17:34:20] donkeykong, upload what to mysite.com/w/ ? [17:34:37] If you follow the instructions you linked to exactly, they should work. [17:34:52] Where are your wiki files currently installed? [17:34:55] no timstarling around? [17:34:58] on / [17:35:00] Okay. [17:35:05] i changed it when it didnt work [17:35:08] anybody else know about the new parser/preprocessor? [17:35:34] I need to pass custom arguments to a template [17:35:48] but ->newChild takes domnodes, not strings :\ [17:36:22] donkeykong, try putting this in your web root, in an .htaccess file. If one already exists, replace it (or comment out, etc.). http://pastebin.ca/1007184 [17:36:37] ok, ill try it [17:36:38] brb [17:37:10] 03ialex * r34216 10/trunk/extensions/Configure/ (4 files): Added $wgSharedDBtables, $wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting and $wgSearchHighlightBoundaries [17:38:25] 03(mod) Special:Mypage in URL doesn't allow other URL params - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11566 normal->15enhancement; +comment (10webmaster) [17:38:31] same thing: the page loads, without the skins [17:39:08] donkeykong, do you have a link?

[17:40:30] It should be empty. [17:40:37] *siebrand pats ialex on the head. [17:40:38] I suspect it's "/".

Are you sure that's the only place it's set? [17:41:57] not sure, where else would it be? [17:42:07] woops, [17:42:08] I meant, the only place in LocalSettings.php. [17:42:14] found it further down the page, [17:42:15] i think [17:42:17] Right. [17:42:24] Then the last one takes precedence. [17:42:31] You should probably just delete the earlier one(s), to avoid confusion. [17:42:43] got it!! [17:42:43]
