[22:37:31] strangely it is 600 [22:37:46] under some circumstances, mediawiki may create files or folders with the wrong permissions set. but that does not appear to be the case for you. [22:37:52] ah. 600 could be a problem [22:37:58] if the php user is different from the apache user [22:38:13] could be a problem with the setup of suphp [22:38:17] ask your hoster [22:38:47] ok, then i need the php user to be the same as the apache's? [22:39:04] that is one way, but unlikely to happen on a shared host. [22:39:27] no, the file should just get created with permissions that make it readable for apache [22:39:44] the umask setting for suphp is often a cause of probelms with that [22:39:55] though generally, this also applies to the directory, not only the file [22:39:56] not sure. [22:41:42] well thanks [22:46:58] Oh noes, OLPC now supports Windows XP! [22:47:04] For . . . $3 per laptop. [22:47:42] Cheerful though the spread of Linux makes me, seeing Microsoft have to cut prices that drastically to compete is almost as good. [22:48:29] what URI's are available in mediawiki besides mailto and IRC? [22:53:57] nolhay, http, https, ftp, irc, gopher, telnet, nntp, worldwind, mailto, news. [22:53:59] By default. [22:54:01] Configurable. [22:54:05] !wg UrlProtocols [22:54:05] --mwbot-- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgUrlProtocols [22:54:26] How can I enable (FollowSymLinks)? [22:54:26] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/wiki/Page_title_--_no_root_access [22:55:42] mostafa2, ask in #apache. [22:55:57] You'll need to change .htaccess (or, if you can access it, httpd.conf). [22:58:30] whatthe hell? [22:58:51] why do the short url instructions say anythign about symlinks? that'Äs complete and utter bullshit. [22:59:00] that setup doesn't involve symlinks. [22:59:06] {{sofixit}} ? [22:59:09] mostafa2: are you actually USING symlinks? [22:59:13] Simetrical,thanks [22:59:17] Splarka: yea, but i have to rant first :P [22:59:23] heh [22:59:36] There are about 758 different recommended ways of setting things up on that page. [22:59:37] *Splarka adds some instructions pertaining to the maintenance of a 1957 Chevy to the middle [22:59:46] Of which probably about 5 are actually distinct in any meaningful sense. [22:59:52] It needs to be purged with fire. [23:00:35] Duesentrieb, I am not sure [23:00:50] mostafa2: then the answer is very likely "no". [23:00:56] just following this http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/wiki/Page_title_--_no_root_access [23:01:03] and then you don't need the Options +FollowSymLinks [23:01:18] (which was the answer to the question about how to enable them) [23:01:36] the instructions about symlinks are bullshit (or at least, misleading) [23:01:39] #i'm fixing it [23:04:23] 03raymond * r36209 10/trunk/extensions/FlaggedRevs/language/UnreviewedPages.i18n.php: Localisation updates German [23:04:30] i have an extension, part of which, takes user input in the form of wikitext. is there a standard function i can run the input through to sanitize it? [23:06:59] parse it as wikitext? escape all parseable wikitext? escape only unwhitelisted html? [23:07:26] Splarka: just to make sure they aren't slipping in any script tags or something like that [23:07:40] or does the parser handle that on the way back out? [23:07:58] the parser passes it through the sanitizer yes... [23:08:31] http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/Sanitizer.php?view=co&content-type=text%2Fplain [23:08:49] Splarka: okay. and to prevent sql injection? [23:09:15] erp, that I don't know ^_^ [23:09:44] okay, thanks [23:09:55] (I'd assume so though) [23:10:19] as long as you pass it through the parser in the same way article wikitext is rendered [23:10:53] yeah, i was having trouble finding the code that gets run when a user edits an article. any idea where that is? [23:11:35] the edit saves the wikitext, the rendering is done on view (sorta) [23:12:43] yeah, i know that. but when i click save on an action=edit page, where's the code that actually runs? in wiki.php if the action is submit it doesn't do anything except set a session id [23:12:59] 03kim * r36210 10/trunk/extensions/Wikidata/util/voctrain/i18n/language.i18n.php: * debugged. I Officially Hate Commas In PHP :-P [23:13:04] well, see http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/api/ApiParse.php [23:13:16] that seems to just do a $wgParser->parse($text, $titleObj, new ParserOptions()); [23:14:22] but that's on render right, not on edit [23:14:32] right [23:14:48] isn't that what you wanted to know? how to convert input to rendered output? [23:15:15] or did you want to know what is substituted on save? there is very little... [23:15:35] no. i have an input text box, i'm worried about someone putting '; update mwusers set password='blah';' in the box and slamming all my passwords or something like that [23:15:38] "subst:" on valid templates/magicwords/parserfunctions, ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~, pipe tricks... [23:16:02] um?: [23:16:31] you're worried about the wikipedia not safely escaping the information it puts into the database? [23:16:46] I mean.. if that were the case.. how would the wikipedia be up? [23:16:59] if you are writing some custom code or something and I don't understand, pls ignore :) [23:17:04] they're worried about not calling the parser properly for a custom parsing call [23:17:09] ok :) [23:17:37] see http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/OutputPage.php for examples of the parser rendering on view [23:17:49] Splarka: i'm really not worried about the parser [23:18:05] you mean this input box will be saving to the database directly? [23:18:12] ahh [23:18:13] derwin: i'm writing custom code and want to do the same safety checks wikipedia does [23:18:17] Splarka: yes [23:18:20] bazz: yep, gotcha [23:18:24] Splarka: sorry, should have made that clear [23:18:30] okay, so you just want to run whatever checks are done on mediawiki's database saves... to the input [23:18:42] exactly :) [23:18:59] have to grep the code I guess [23:19:00] but i can't find the code that actually does that [23:19:14] okay, i'm homing in on editpage.php [23:23:43] hmm [23:25:50] bazz: tracking it to updateArticle() on Article.php ? [23:26:01] and then to doEdit() [23:26:14] i think it all happens in editpage. looks like internalAttemptSave is what i wanted [23:27:22] right, but that is a wrapper for $this->mArticle->updateArticle() as far as I can see [23:27:28] *Splarka hates PHP, refuses to learn it [23:27:55] ahh yes, just getting to that [23:28:14] which is then a wrapper for doEdit() [23:28:36] $editInfo = $this->prepareTextForEdit( $text ); [23:28:50] damn, who wrote this spaghetti, <3 [23:29:25] heh [23:29:43] well, you're hot on the trail now, happy hunting [23:30:08] thanks!
