[00:00:32] Seems like it's on en.wiki. :/ [00:00:36] Only. * [00:00:55] *MZMcBride goes to investigate further. [00:01:06] check your prefs?

[00:02:38] !wikifamily | Smaug [00:02:38] --mwbot-- Smaug: To run multiple wikis, you can simply install MediaWiki in different folders, with different databases or in one with database prefixes. You can also have multiple wikis using a single installation: and . [00:02:42] Read that? [00:02:50] Splarka: I didn't see any particular preference that applied. [00:02:55] MZMcBride: yup [00:03:05] it is that page that I would like to ask clarification about [00:03:08] MZM: no fields set to 1000 mysteriously? [00:03:14] I’m looking at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family#Scenario_3:_Quick_set-up, and it is a little confusing. I get that a central file is named LocalSettings.php, which in turn includes the proper LocalSettings for a specific wiki. [00:03:22] But if I am aiming to have wikis in different directories, like www.domain.com/w/ (htaccessed to appear as www.domain.com/wiki/) and www.domain.com/other/wiki2/, then if someone navigates to /other/wiki2, how will the LocalSettings.php in /w/ or /wiki/ get activated (I don’t know the real word)? [00:03:50] All the actual configuration files stay in one directory, with one copy of each. [00:04:13] Your issue sounds like you need to write decent RewriteRules. [00:04:13] MZMcBride: right [00:04:32] MZM: any other paginated things happen with a 1000 limit? like recentchanges, newpages, whatlinkshere, watchlist, etc? [00:04:39] MZMcBride: it's a question, I'm trying to understand how it works, and also (my next question) what rewrite rules I'll need, if any [00:05:13] Splarka: Ahh, it's "Titles in recent changes:" it seems. [00:05:29] Well, that's no fair. [00:05:47] It's a "Recent changes" tab and the description only describes recent changes. [00:05:54] *MZMcBride runs to Bugzilla to whine. [00:06:15] MZMcBride: if all config files are in one directory, then if a person navigates to a different directory, how are the config files activiated? [00:06:33] The physical directories are always the same, as I understand it. [00:06:50] so are all the wikis in the same director, with RewriteRules making it seems different? [00:07:16] Well, it depends on you configure it, I suppose. [00:07:29] Wikimedia has a /w directory where all of the files reside. [00:07:29] MZM: you could change all links to recent changes via JS to append &limit=1000, and then set that back to 50 [00:07:53] I visit RecentChanges like once a year, usually to see myself flooding it with a rogue bot. ;) [00:08:21] Warning: require_once(SpecialRecentchanges.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Server\xampp\htdocs\MW\includes\specials\Recentchangeslinked.php on line 11 [00:08:24] heh, so bookmark it, and set yourself back to 50 [00:08:25] goddamit shit [00:08:30] Smaug: And they use subdomains so that all URLs are /wiki/Page_name. [00:08:42] Splarka: I did. But that shit is deceptive. [00:08:44] I want to have it appear that main wiki is xxx.com/wiki/Main_Page, while other wikis are xxx.com/other/stuff1/Main_Page, xxx.com/other/Stuff2/Main_Page [00:08:54] MZMcBride: is subdomains easier than directories? [00:09:06] MZMcBride: i'm not doing multilanguages, yet, so i'd rather directories [00:09:07] AaronSchulz: fine with most recent rev [00:09:14] I'm not really sure, to be honest. I've never done a wiki family setup.

[00:09:57] *MZMcBride ponders. [00:10:03] RewriteRules are _always_ a bitch. [00:10:08] MZMcBride: yeah [00:10:13] I tried to write my own once [00:10:21] Did NOT work at all [00:10:59] AaronSchulz, that problem wouldn't occur if Recentchanges.php used static methods. Then it could be autoloaded. [00:11:03] Someone needs to clean it up. [00:11:19] anybody here have experience with a wiki family from the same set of source files?

[00:12:15] though just correcting the name is maybe safer [00:12:30] the JS slows it down [00:12:31] AaronSchulz, that's dangerous. [00:12:34] AaronSchulz: upgrade to most recent revision and there won't we a problem :P [00:12:38] mmm....JS sloware [00:12:39] AaronSchulz, it might get loaded through some other include path.

[00:32:04] Let me see. [00:35:38] hi there [00:39:16] <^demon> AaronSchulz: At least all default special pages *load* :-P [00:39:58] I am planning to make a website for writers of literature using media wiki [00:40:25] I have a newbie question: do I need to host the site on my PC or can I use an external server? [00:40:56] well, it seems the last one is [00:41:00] only using Apache [00:41:28] <^demon> And a database. [00:41:43] you don't need apache, any web server will do as long as it supports php [00:42:08] <^demon> But a database is required, of course. [00:44:18] ^demon: r35360 works fine :) [00:44:59] *Alexfusco5 doesn't see any errors that are reported above [00:46:44] yes, a database [00:46:48] MySQL [00:47:02] so, I am planning to use it in a public server... [00:47:08] then, I have to find out if they have PHP [00:47:18] and MySQL... [00:47:33] because they should provide the programs, I mean the owners of the servers? [00:57:22] Davinci2008: yes [00:57:40] Davinci2008: if you buy Shared hosting, it should have MySQL and PHP already on it [00:57:44] you install MW yourself [01:06:04] cool [01:06:18] I will have to find out if my host has both of them [01:06:36] isn't there a free hosting with those? I guess no... [01:14:52] I will install it on Ubuntu [01:14:58] for testing purposes, first, on my computer [01:15:06] could it work? [01:15:37] Apache does not seem to work there, the rpm needs a lot of dependencies [01:15:46] and rpm -vih does not ignore them... [01:16:52] well, using rpm on ubuntu would be your first problem [01:17:02] I think it is [01:17:16] the other option would be to compile apache [01:17:26] I did not find any binaries which were not rpm [01:19:55] it would be hard, as everything on Linux [01:20:41] Davinci2008, why are you using RPMs on Ubuntu? Type sudo apt-get install apache2. [01:20:51] It will install everything automatically for you, with dependencies. [01:21:19] Ubuntu normally uses .deb files, not .rpm, but in either case you shouldn't have to actually be mucking with the package files yourself to install Apache. [01:28:52] ah [01:29:04] I did not know the package name was apache2 [01:29:17] anyway, I downloaded rpm2tgz, converted the rpm to tgz [01:29:19] and installed it [01:29:25] I think I just need to restart [01:29:35] see ya [01:29:41] I'll be back...

I'm using SMW forms and I was wondering if there was away to for a new page to act like the (speaclpage) add page. You know like when you select a form for the page it takes the user to a template to enter in the values rather than the standard free form new page [13:02:42] Any ideas? [13:03:46] No [13:04:10] Surely someone has needed to do this before. [13:04:15] however, you can change the message shown for newpage editing and give links to forms that can be used to create the page in question [13:04:41] That could work [13:04:52] Is there a way to make the wiki do that for any missing page? [13:05:17] Cincy: Edit the MediaWiki:Whatever message that shows up for missing pages?

[14:06:50] smaller filesize, and you can view them in the UI [14:06:57] WikiziA90: it depends on the browser [14:07:11] IE/Firefox will show PDFs in the browser pane [14:07:13] I see: ME alas here [14:07:23] IE i.e [14:07:33] IE will [14:07:44] yeah, that sounds like the best option [14:07:54] Acrobat's plugin for IE shows PDFs in the browser [14:08:11] but you have to klick the link, it will not be part of the MediaWiki UI [14:08:18] no [14:08:32] of course, the caveat there is that the user needs the adobe plugin installed [14:08:45] that could be done [14:09:48] OK thanks, not exactly what I have envisioned, but you seem to acknowledge the fact I could not find a solution in the matrix of the extensions [14:10:31] brion: do you have time to work out/fix what the problem is with http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Index%3AEnglish/b ? [14:10:52] can you describe what's problematic, cirwin? [14:10:58] 500 error [14:10:59] I do have some Word docs uploaded to our MW installation, but it has to download locally, then the user has to open it in an external application (ie Word) which is sloppy as heck [14:11:12] I think it's out of memory, but obviously can't confirm [14:11:15] cirwin: it's a very long page with many thousands of links [14:11:25] thus it's fairly likely to, at least sometimes, hit resource limits [14:11:26] mikedub exactly what we did until now [14:11:31] yes [14:11:38] however there are now lots of such pages on wikt [14:11:45] which is rather frustrating [14:11:49] because they used to work [14:11:53] maybe you should not make unnecessary giant index pages then [14:11:58] possibly :) [14:12:02] Anyhow thanks for your thoughts [14:14:35] I was planning to write an extension that could generate the indices automatically, but I think the multilingual sorting problem is too hard to get the server to do it [14:19:36] 03jojo * r36390 10/trunk/extensions/Collection/README.txt: document format of template blacklist page [14:24:21] Hey, why does I get this? http://rafb.net/p/kVbOhP87.html [14:24:53] have you got access to the server logs?

O.o [14:33:25] GulLars: you need to set the executable bit on index.php [14:33:39] in the config folder or in the wikifolder? [14:33:46] have you configured it yet? [14:33:49] assume not..

[14:34:59] yes [14:35:11] I want some pages editable and seen only from people inside the servas.org [14:35:18] that is possible [14:35:24] but you need to install an extension [14:35:35] can I have video on my pages? [14:35:47] yes [14:35:53] still the same [14:35:56] though again I think you need to install an extension [14:36:32] can I have template for graphic [14:36:52] matteo2: what do you mean by that?

[15:43:32] gegem[a]: They cannot. [15:44:33] MinuteElectron: How do people then do wikipedia dumps for offline retrieval for example? [15:44:47] they import them into a database [15:44:52] and render them using mediawiki [15:45:58] MinuteElectron: My scenario is.. I have some info on certain wiki pages I can export into xml...I want that xml to be loaded into handhelds running windows Mobil with IE, so people can retrieve those pages online... but the content is the same as it would have been online... am I making sense or just blabberin? [15:46:51] gegem[a]: see http://wapedia.mobi/en [15:47:38] what you have to do is to render the wikitext in the dump to html (using mediawiki parser) [15:47:46] and make your own storage format based on that [15:48:05] cirwin: this is infomation we have on a local Wiki, that I want service reps on routes to have on their Hand helds..so they can retrieve it on demand, w/o needing to be online. [15:48:34] you'd have to do some programming [15:48:48] and distribute the files as html not wikitext dump format [15:49:15] 03(WONTFIX) Prominent Simple English Wikipedia Link on en.wikipedia - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12827 +comment (10innocentkiller) [15:49:41] cirwin: wouldn't the file size be humongous then, if distributes as expanded html?

[16:55:23] got a google problem: on my main page i have special:newpages included. the problem: When i search for recent new page titles i get a result for my website on page 1 but it's the main page reading the link. the new page itself is not indexed. i always thought google crawls 1 index 1 step deeper? [16:55:46] is there any admin pages on MediaWiki? [16:56:12] <^demon> Subfader: Maybe Special:Newpages has 'noindex, nofollow' applied? [16:56:22] <^demon> GulLars: What do you mean by "Admin pages?"

To enable them, first make the upload directory (default images) writable by PHP, then set $wgEnableUploads to true in LocalSettings.php (i.e. "$wgEnableUploads = true;"). See for more info.

[17:02:41] ok forget, i suppose by $wgNamespaceRobotPolicies = array( NS_SPECIAL => 'index,follow' ); [17:02:55] <^demon> Yeah, but that will cause Google to index all of your specialpages. [17:03:18] I don't think it will actually work, will it? [17:03:27] Not sure that applies to NS_SPECIAL. [17:03:38] You definitely don't want Google trying to index Special:Random, or a lot of others. [17:04:07] hmh I also wonder why the main page is crawled more often than my sitemaps as my sitemaps are refreshed every 30 mins(!)

[17:56:12] (Also gives very, very good compression.) [17:56:36] can anyone think of what might have been wrong? is there a configuration option that has to do with the TOC? [17:56:38] when i unpack large rar files it's def faster than winrar itself [17:57:00] i mean a not so obvious config option... [17:57:01] Nikerabbit: and what's you summer project?

When I worked as a developer in a team, we used CVS system, frequent conflicts... with good tools, it's quite easy :) [19:21:31] 03ashley * r36399 10/trunk/extensions/SocialProfile/SocialProfile.php: Fix some paths. Patch by Jlerner. [19:23:04] woo, neat [19:29:57] does update.php require the config directory to be present to work? [19:30:17] i didn't upload it after unpacking it because i thought i didn't need it [19:30:30] ciao! [19:31:10] I have a question [19:31:20] I installed apache2 and php5 on Ubuntu [19:31:37] but when I try to open a .php file, Mozilla says it does not recognize the file type [19:31:47] <^demon> Someone who's been using FF3...is there a way to disable that god-awful search in the url bar? [19:31:49] what else do I need to do, in order for Mozilla to recognize the page? [19:32:09] ^demon, it's quite awesome once you get used to it. [19:32:17] At least IMO. [19:32:19] <^demon> Simetrical: There is nothing awesome about it. [19:32:20] There are some haters. [19:32:44] <^demon> I don't type in the URL bar wanting to search my history, etc...I type in the URL bar because I know where I want to go. [19:33:07] <^demon> If it's not disable-able, it's a dealbreaker for me and FF2 is coming back. [19:33:17] does anybody know why having installed apache2 and php5... Mozilla still does not recognize .php files? [19:33:19] Reactionary much? [19:33:34] Davinci2008, because it's being served with a wrong MIME type for some reason. Check the MIME type in the HTTP header. [19:33:47] Seriously, ^demon, you're overreacting. [19:33:54] Just wait until you get used to it. [19:33:58] Simetrical: where? in Mozilla or the page? [19:33:59] It still searches the text of the URLs as well. [19:34:08] Davinci2008, do you have a link to the page? [19:34:31] the page is local [19:34:36] I will paste it [19:34:39] it is short [19:34:43] ^demon: i think they removed the option not use the "rich" urlbar [19:34:53] i agree, the new urlbar is ..not good [19:34:58] [19:35:00] [19:35:01] [19:35:03] [19:35:06] with html tags [19:35:13] that is the page [19:35:56] ^demon: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407836 [19:37:22] 03(mod) Configure groups in nowiki for access to Special:Unwatchedpages - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14079 +comment (10post) [19:37:32] Simetrical: any hint? Mozilla still says it does not recognize the file... I even added the MIME type to Mozilla and made it open with /usr/bin/php [19:38:02] has anyone here used update.php? I'm trying to pinpoint where I went wrong [19:38:14] ^demon, as a developer, you should know that significant improvements can sometimes be a big shock to users. Are you seriously never going to upgrade Firefox again? Give it a little while and see. [19:38:27] It's more or less a strict superset of past functionality, in that it searches the URLs themselves too. [19:38:51] Simetrical: a lot of folks are getting turned around by it [19:38:51] Davinci2008, you should install something like the Firebug extension for Firefox to look at HTTP headers. [19:38:55] maybe it's good for newbies [19:38:58] ok [19:39:22] but they took out the option that let's you not use all the fancy new features [19:39:27] at the very least, folks should be able to choose [19:39:35] 03(mod) Mediawiki categories User-Javascripts - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14573 (10michael.frey) [19:39:42] jlerner, you realize that *exactly the same thing* happens on about a monthly basis on Wikipedia when MW developers introduce some new feature and everyone complains that they liked it the old way (for no good reason they can articulate, other than that they're used to it)? [19:40:04] sure [19:40:08] More user options = more code paths to maintain, bad. User options shouldn't be added without a good reason, from a maintainability standpoint. [19:40:21] but i spend a lot more time in firefox, at least i'd like to [19:40:25] then wikipedia [19:40:28] ^demon, you can disable it [19:40:33] it's a rather basic bit of plumbing [19:41:22] i just want my history in the urlbar, not the bookmarks [19:41:27] anyway, OT [19:41:32] 03(mod) Draft tab does not disappear after sighting - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14561 (10JSchulz_4587) [19:41:49] History is in the URL bar, that's the whole point. [19:41:55] It searches the history when you type in the URL bar. [19:42:16] *Simetrical is really annoyed by how people want to reflexively disable new features just because they're used to the old way [19:42:18] yeah, i don't want it in the toolbar, nor do i want to match on any substring in a history/bookmarked URL [19:43:28] (don't want bookmarks in urlbar, that is..) [19:43:33] anyway, back to work ;-) [19:44:42] heh, I just notice the post-rollback diffs [19:45:02] Simetrical, sometimes new features slow down your software which slows your computer then slows yourself [19:45:05] sweet [19:45:49] alnokta2, doubt this slows anyone down much in the long term. Probably the opposite. If you type anything in much, it will give what you usually go to after that as the first result, in principle. [19:46:04] On the other hand, if you can remember the title of the page but not the URL, this is a significant time-saver. [19:47:22] i don't know about anyone else, but for me, i do save bookmarks, but rarely visit them - so 99% of the time, i'm just trying to reach a URL visited recently [19:47:32] so showing me anything else is just noise [19:47:48] if I ran update.php and have broken my site (I get a 500 error), where might I begin the troubleshooting process? Is there a guide, or tips you have? [19:48:00] *jlerner suspects this conversation is going on all over... [19:48:37] ^demon, about:config , browser.urlbar.maxRichResults set to zero , browser.urlbar.matchBehavior set to zero [19:48:45] Simetrical: I did what you said, I installed Firebug [19:48:48] 03(mod) Draft tab does not disappear after sighting - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14561 (10JSchulz_4587) [19:48:49] but the error is the same [19:49:03] Simetrical: I think I need to find a way to tell apache to use php [19:49:13] Davinci2008, of course it is, Firebug just lets you see what it is better. Open up Firebug and go to the Net tab, look at the response headers. [19:49:17] I installed both packages with apt-get but maybe I need to do more [19:49:25] ok [19:49:36] Davinci2008, maybe you need apache2-php or some similar special combination package. What distro? [19:49:57] jlerner, the new bar *does* show you recently visited URLs. [19:50:01] *Simetrical sighs [19:50:07] At least, it shows them first, usually. [19:50:15] right, and a bunch of other garbage i don't want [19:50:18] and almost never want [19:50:25] (bookmarks) ;-) [19:51:03] Simetrical: nothing happens when I open the php page because a dialog box asking me to open or save it appears [19:51:04] i hit the urlbar hundreds of times a day, every little inconvenience up there slows me down [19:51:09] but i like firefox3 in general [19:51:26] if I open other pages... Firebug net tab shows something [19:52:31] Simetrical: don't worry, it works now! [19:52:49] Mozilla does not open php files if I do File->open... but it opens them when they are on a link! [19:53:06] jlerner, how long have you tried the new behavior? [19:53:39] Simetrical: thanks for all the advice... [19:54:17] not long [19:54:27] how long have you used it? [19:55:00] can I install media wiki with apt-get? or do I need to download the tgz? [19:55:31] Yes you can, but it's some antiquated version. [19:55:45] 03(mod) Draft tab does not disappear after sighting - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14561 (10pbirken) [19:56:17] toweri, not necessarily so antiquated. [19:56:19] Depends on distro. [19:56:26] jlerner, a couple of months. [19:57:02] well, I have the tar.gz [19:57:07] I will do that instead [19:57:22] depends on your needs [19:57:55] well, I just need a basic wiki to start [19:58:02] fwiw, i think having the address bar do a text search on title/url is great ;) [19:58:02] then apt-get install mediawiki [19:58:06] (opera 9.5 does the same thing) [20:03:53] flyingparchment, well, you're not prone to knee-jerk reactions. [20:04:40] well, I got apache2, php5 and mysql [20:05:03] and the media wiki tgz file, I unzipped it and now how do I install it? [20:05:55] ok, I found the manual now... [20:09:14] 03straussd * r36400 10/trunk/extensions/OpenLibrary/: Add OL directory [20:09:29] 03aaron * r36401 10/trunk/extensions/FlaggedRevs/ (3 files in 2 dirs): [20:09:29] * Remove purge call (bogus now) [20:09:29] * Fix check against wrong variable (should be $tmp_title) [20:09:29] * Some minor refactoring [20:10:48] simeit's a knee-jerk reaction to accuse everyone who doesn't care for some new feature [20:10:58] simetrical, that sounds like a knee-jerk reaction to me.. [20:13:54] jlerner, nonsense, it's a considered application of an observed general rule. [20:14:35] When a new feature disrupts people's ingrained routines substantially, some will complain regardless of the long-term utility of the feature, because the immediate effect for them is negative. [20:14:59] These complaints should be ignored and/or scorned for the good of the software project. [20:15:17] Nobody is going to be saying one year from now that this URL bar change was bad. [20:15:22] They'll have gotten used to it. [20:15:39] (Except for a couple of die-hards who've clung to Firefox 2 and never used Firefox 3 enough to get used to it.) [20:15:43] yes, let's force everyone into the same approach, regardless if it works for them [20:16:00] BS, you never gave it a chance. You admitted yourself that you hadn't used it long. [20:16:14] i didn't say i was quitting firefox [20:16:15] i like it [20:16:27] ^demon said he would use Firefox 2 if he couldn't fix the feature. [20:16:31] but the bookmarks popping up in urlbar is noise [20:16:39] it'll be noise a year from now [20:16:40] (Which was itself almost certainly false, in the medium to long term.) [20:16:55] another question [20:16:58] It's no more "noise" than lists of search suggestions are at google.com. [20:17:02] I installed php5 and mysql5 [20:17:10] It's relevant information that may or may not be helpful, and which you can ignore if appropriate. [20:17:13] but Media wiki config script says it cannot find mysql! [20:17:16] it's not noise compared to recently visited URLs, which is what i'm looking for [20:17:22] i don't want it to appear it all, it's distracting [20:17:28] it'll be distracting a year from now too [20:17:33] would that be due to the password? or do I need to inform php where mysql is located? [20:17:40] jlerner, bet? [20:17:48] (Well, except we can't, since you'll turn it off.) [20:17:50] but don't listen to what i'm saying, just call it "knee-jerk" [20:17:58] i don't think you can turn it off [20:17:59] ;) [20:18:00] *Nothing* is distracting for a year straight. You get used to things. [20:18:02] they removed that option [20:18:09] jlerner, well, then you'll be in a good position to tell me if you feel the same in a year. [20:18:17] last thing i need is more noise to filter [20:18:25] Error deleting file: Could not create directory "deleted/8/2/n" << I am getting this error when trying to delete a file on my MW install [20:18:29] presumably someone will create a plugin ;-) [20:18:50] *Simetrical wonders if it would be reliable to set up an at job for one year from now . . . probably not [20:19:06] there are web reminder services [20:19:10] I found the problem, php5 was not compiled with mysql support... what can I do? [20:20:39] Davinci2008: install the mysql module... often this'll be named php5-mysql in your OS's package management system [20:20:47] 03minuteelectron * r36402 10/trunk/extensions/Babel/includes/Babel.php: * Disallow using template '' to avoid unexpected behaviour when prefixes and\or suffixes are added.

[20:26:37] In three months I might not have even restarted my computer, but in a year I'll have upgraded Ubuntu twice, and who knows what else.

[20:28:23] But who knows, maybe I'll have reinstalled for some reason. [20:28:27] Upgraded my hard drives.

[20:49:40] Anyone.. I have an external link that works just fine in a page but when I move it to the sidebar the preview shows the right link when I mouse over it but when I save the page and refresh the new link says invalid-Title?? [20:53:39] Cincy: put the url in the message you're providing a message key for, not in MediaWiki:Sidebar [20:53:51] MediaWiki:Sidebar is meant to list message key names, not raw text [20:53:58] one for the UI text (which changes with UI language) [20:54:06] and one for the target page or URL (which uses the content language) [20:54:57] Ok, where does one normally put those? I guess that's in a backend file or something? [20:55:12] ok, look at MediaWiki:Sidebar's current contents [20:55:20] If I search for message key names do you think that would point me in the right direction? [20:55:34] you see a line like: ** portal-url|portal [20:55:42] now look at MediaWiki:Portal-url and MediaWiki:Portal [20:55:43] Yeah I was just looking at that [20:56:04] <^demon> brion: I finished moving all of the Search*.php from ~/includes to ~/includes/search (and drop the Search* prefix, a-la ~/includes/specials/). It *appears* to be working just fine. [20:56:44] <^demon> Updated the autoloader. Don't see any raw require/include()s, so it should be good to go.

[20:58:28] so your saying the name of the page is all I need to change? [20:58:42] <^demon> ialex: PrefixSearch isn't really part of the search engine package, so I didn't move it.

[21:14:29] ^demon: No, I was going to do exactly what you did; but couldn't be bothered with all the possible breakages that might have occurred. [21:14:34] Well what I was tring to do is add a link to the sidebar of my wiki that would transfer the user to and external page [21:14:35] You then did it ;P [21:15:47] oh, I'm not sure what's going on then, sorry [21:15:56] Brion got me to create a link from the sidebar to a page within the wiki and I thought he was saying that I could force that page to open an external link automatically [21:16:14] Maybe I heard him wrong [21:16:42] <^demon> MinuteElectron: Doesn't appear to break anything.

[21:59:18] bye [21:59:25] 03(mod) improperly closed references tag should result in an obvious error - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12757 (10brion) [22:01:13] jablko: although listitems are not the best places to contain paragraphs... [22:01:35] maybe try wikicode with contained html (although it has to all appear in one line): [22:01:35] *bar [22:01:35] *

    foo bar baz

    foo bar baz

    foo bar baz

    foo bar baz

    [22:01:35] *baz [22:02:06] splarkan with iso code spl then [22:02:42] hmm? [22:22:53] i'm somewhat lost here. in my brand new installation of mediawiki, i have index.php and index.php5, i assume index.php is read first, but given that the host i'm using requires php 5 to be called with the php5 extension to enter the wiki i have to manually type whatever.com/index.php5; the thing is, if a go to the website directly i just get a blank page, what should i change? [22:25:21] <^demon> GuillermoB: Do you have the ability to use .htaccess files? [22:25:34] in localsettings.php change $wgScriptExtension = ".php"; to php5 [22:26:10] ^demon: no, im using the grid service of mediatemple [22:26:24] alnokta2: ok, i'll see if it works [22:27:23] alnokta2: it's already as php5 :/ [22:29:45] may be you can rename index.php to index.php5 [22:31:09] it didn't work, i still have a blank page [22:33:56] try to change $wgScriptExtension = ".php5"; to php only [22:35:33] what about http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/19/What+is+an+.htaccess+file%3F ? [22:36:24] changing wgScriptExtension to php, didnt work. i'm going to try with .htaccess [22:39:10] <^demo1> (6:25:59 PM) ^demon: alnokta2: Also needs to change his DirectoryIndex, or Apache will continue to serve index.php [22:40:27] i'm changing DirectoryIndex to index.php5 [22:41:59] yep, it worked! thanks [22:44:29] hiho. A little question. I want to limit the output of my wiki to 1024 pixel. Have insert a table with this size (), but when I insert the PHP Stuff (main page / body stuff) it will extends over 1024. Is there a way to limit the output to 1024 at all? [22:46:57] AvatarOfWoe: you'll probably have to create a new skin specifically designed for that, monobook isn't designed to do that too well [22:47:15] (although you could hard-limit the globalWrapper div to 1024 in CSS probably) [22:47:48] I have a new skin. But when I insert the PHP stuff it will extens my table settings :( [22:48:59] hmm. never practiced on that css stuff. maybe i have to start :) [22:49:07] well, you don't wanna insert a table... [22:49:23] most skins have a wrapping outer div, and you can style the to some extent too [22:50:35] im not shure i can handle it without tables :) [23:38:27] I'm following the instructions to add Googlesearch for v1.12.0, but the search button says "$3" rather than "Google" [23:40:19] 03(mod) Bulletin board style toolbar for common editing functions should be more accessible for change and modification - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14530 +comment (10stigmj) [23:41:33] also, how do I add other entries to the footer where the About & Disclaimer links are?
