[13:51:42] Wiredtape, sure [13:51:46] what's the problem? [13:54:02] Dor, ok, so I have an extension, that in order to save a page it "clones" what a normal edit page would look like if it were submitted (this is just how the original extension was designed) [13:54:20] okay [13:54:40] Specifically in this case, i want a popup which is the one that actually does this save, to close after i verify that the article was saved correctly. [13:54:53] I have tried several hooks, but in all i encounter a similar problem [13:55:12] I'm not very good with extensions :( [13:55:39] :) I'm not sure this is an extension problem per se.. see if you might be able to help :) [13:58:19] I think the problem is along these lines: I'm trying to get a variable from the function that is called in order to emulate an edit page submittion. But unfortunately, this var isn't available to me inside my hook functions.. (it's as if there are timing problems with ArticleSaveComplete, ArticleSave and so on..) [13:58:20] Dor^ [13:58:42] hmmm [13:58:58] of course these are global [13:59:01] nope, I still dunno :P [13:59:06] ok, thx :) [13:59:58] ialex, u here? [14:00:02] yes [14:00:11] can u help maybe? [14:01:15] what do you want to do? [14:01:38] i want to close the popup on successfull article creation.. [14:02:08] popup? [14:02:21] wich popup? [14:02:47] ialex , read above? [14:10:26] ialex? (sorry for bothering..) [14:10:42] Wiredtape: i'm reading the code :) [14:12:00] Wiredtape: $wgOut does a redirect to the page, but you want to close the window, right? [14:14:47] ialex: ok :) perhaps it would be helpful to see my code too... http://rafb.net/p/9IzyS883.html -> keep in mind that all those echos are there just for testing.. [14:15:01] ialex: yes.. (re:$wgOut) [14:17:04] ialex: the problem is that $SFCurrentSave is null when I get to sfPOPCheckArticleSave .. [14:18:34] Wiredtape: SF_AddData.php shouldn't be a function? [14:19:11] ialex: it's a special page.. and that excerpt i show in the pastey is a part of the main function for that special page.. [14:20:24] Wiredtape: because the special page isn't called when you save an edit [14:21:29] ialex: but it is called right before you save an edit with it.. so i thought i could have $SFCurrentSave as a global and then pull that from my checking function.. [14:21:54] ialex: how else can i verify that the page that was just saved, was indeed saved by Special:AddData ? [14:22:10] s/saved/created [14:22:31] Wiredtape: the form is posted to title=New_Article&action=submit [14:23:35] ialex: right.. but i thought that since sffPrintRedirectForm is called from SF_AddData.php, that it would work.. :-\ [14:23:51] so, do you have any suggestions on how i could do this verification? [14:24:32] Wiredtape: you can do a internal save, like API does [14:25:01] ialex: can you explain that? you mean use Article::doEdit() right? [14:25:06] yes [14:25:23] so, what parameters would I need in order to do that? [14:25:45] $article = new Article( $title ); [14:26:37] $article->doEdit( $text, $summary, $flags ); [14:27:01] $flags = what? [14:27:03] where $flags is a bitfield [14:27:08] second [14:27:33] ok, so basically it should be set to "my" $edit_time or $start_time ? [14:27:45] see http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/Article.php?view=markup and search Article::doEdit() and read the doc [14:29:17] ialex: ok, thanks a lot! (one more question though.. after a proper doEdit has occured, would my checker work? or is there an internal article class success check?) [14:30:11] Wiredtape: you want to know if the save was sucessful? [14:30:18] s/save/edit [14:30:41] yes [14:31:14] Wiredtape: $artcile->doEdit() return a bool whether the edit was successful [14:32:06] ialex -> :) thx... if i have questions about doEdit ill ask you.. :) [14:36:37] Very quick question for a Wikimedia OTRS response [14:36:56] Someone wants to change the article background from white in their monoboo [14:37:01] What's the id of the div they need to change?

I'm digging through the code and cannot see why \overleftarrow is accepted as valid LaTeX but \overleftrightarrow is not. [15:31:11] perhaps it's \overrightarrow ? [15:41:51] hi brion [15:42:06] yo [15:48:54] \overrightarrow is accepted also [15:49:39] Ok.. I think I am on the right track. It appears that overleftarrow and overrightarrow are valid without AMS installed [15:57:56] yep, texvc is not appending AMS to temporary .tex document. [16:07:49] quick question, what does the showall=0 on Special:Contributions link do? [16:20:44] hi, if i have an extension that uses article::doEdit() to save a page, is there any way for me to check that there are no conflicts with the save (for instance, someone else edited the page since i had)? [16:21:29] I was thinking that perhaps I could check rev id's and see if anything changed since the edit started? [16:26:58] uberfuzzy: afaik nothing. where do you see one? [16:27:16] Wiredtape: you could do something like that, sure [16:27:58] the edit form checks for conflicts by keeping track of the timestamp of the revision that was current when you started editing. if that no longer matches, then it knows something's amiss [16:28:13] the links that change number of items per page [16:30:13] brion: thank you .. [16:32:35] no sign of 'showall' in SpecialContributions.php ... [16:34:01] uberfuzzy: it'll pass the parameter on into the paging links if you put it on the url to start with [16:34:16] so the question is, where'd you get it from in the first place ;) [16:34:29] you might have some js gadget or somethign that uses it [16:34:36] (or someone else might and they gave you the link) [16:35:23] its at Wikia, so it might be something they added [16:36:41] hi all [16:37:43] possible as well [16:38:06] might be something for showing/hiding cross-wiki edits? [16:41:31] newbie question maybe, but here goes: somebody using my wiki complained that her link to a page does not work anymore. it looked like this: ...../index.php/Ready but the page is actually ..../index.php?title=Ready [16:43:15] peterna, they are one and the same [16:44:53] wiredtape, thanks ok, then what did i do wrong here: http://www.16guidelines.org/wiki/index.php?title=Ready_Set_Happy#Sound_Files [16:45:16] 03(mod) Parser hook output block level corruption - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8997 +comment (10bugzilla.wikimedia.org) [16:45:42] peterna, wrong ?

[16:52:10] wiredtape, (1) $wgScriptPath = "/wiki"; (2) it is on a webhotel so the actual path is /public_html/wiki [16:52:34] peterna and $wgArticlePath ?

[23:47:38] <^demon> I figure you _could_ do the same in Common.css as well, but that wouldn't apply to printable=yes [23:48:08] right... so this is for content only, not interface [23:48:12] perhaps it should be Commonprint.css [23:48:38] <^demon> I lied, Common.css is applied to printable=yes.
