[02:58:02] yes!!! :-) [02:58:02] you can use fallbacks, like {{{whatever|}}} which will shows as: [02:58:07] {{foo|whatever=whatever}}: whatever [02:58:13] {{foo|whatever=}}: [02:58:16] {{foo}}: [02:58:32] or content fallbacks {{{whatever|text shown if whatever is undefined}}} [02:59:10] if you need to put optional content *outside* these parameters, then you can use the ParserFunctions extension: [02:59:28] {{#if:{{{whatever|}}}| text if {{{whatever}}} isn't null | text if it is null }} [03:00:37] Hello - is this the media wiki discussion area? [03:01:46] I have a few questions on it, and one fix to a problem I encountered. [03:02:29] !ask [03:02:29] --mwbot-- 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. [03:02:54] Ok, what are the accepted channels for submitting bug fixes / code revisions? [03:03:22] !bugzilla [03:03:22] --mwbot-- All bugs in MediaWiki should be reported at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org. This is also the place to request site configuration changes, new features or enhancements to existing features, although bear the following points in mind before making a feature/enhancement request: 1) If the request is specific to a Wikimedia wiki, please discuss the issue on that wiki first. 2) Consider whether a custom extension would be more appropriate. [03:04:28] So complete file changes can be submitted there then? I do a lot of code work myself and know it's a pain to constantly hear - fix this, fix that, and never get any help :( [03:05:06] Splarka, ok so using a fallback renders an extra blank line is there any way i can get rid of that blank line [03:05:44] Michael_M: here is a good place to discuss it (sometimes) before submitting bugs [03:06:01] especailly to find out of the bug is already open, or has been sumitted and closed [03:06:20] nolhay: are you using a table? [03:06:23] like there has to be an If function to determine wether a paramater needs a newline [03:06:33] im using
[03:06:47] http://wiki.stnylug.interos.org/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Meeting&action=edit [03:07:15] click on the top left to see it in action on the mainpage [03:07:20] That's what I was hoping. You see, I'm integrating Media Wiki with another framework that has an autoloader of it's own. To get it to work with Media Wiki I had to rewrite file /includes/Autoload.php to employ the function spl_autoload_register() [03:07:59] That function is PHP 5.2+, so I must use function_exists() to check for it first and if not present define __autoload the old way for backwards compatibility. [03:08:16] However, my own framework requires PHP 5.2 at minimum so this isn't a problem for it. [03:08:19] well, if you want conditional
then yes, you probably need #if [03:08:56] {{#if:{{{opt1|}}}|{{{opt1}}}
}}{{#if:{{{opt2|}}}|{{{opt2}}}
}}{{#if:{{{opt3|}}}|{{{opt3}}}
}} [03:09:16] you can split it on multiple lines with html comments: [03:09:17] The goal of the change is to make MediaWiki more interoperable with other PHP packages - a floodgate sure to come into its own when PHP 5.3 hits final. [03:09:21] {{#if:{{{opt1|}}}|{{{opt1}}}
}}{{#if:{{{opt2|}}}|{{{opt2}}}
}} [03:09:31] you'll notice of course, that template wikicode becomes quickly insanely unreadable [03:10:03] like when you get 450 }}} in a row [03:10:18] 0_o [03:10:36] yeah any suggestions on an easier way to set that up [03:13:24] Anyway, I've completed the change necessary and tested it against PHP 5.1 and 5.2 and it works in both. [03:15:39] nolhay: an exmaple of esotericism: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Chembox_Hazards&action=edit [03:15:56] (that also calls 14 subtemplates) [03:17:13] Michael_M: 3 bug results for 'autoloader': https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=autoloader&long_desc_type=substring&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED [03:19:01] probably you should open a new bug with a proposed patch (unified diff against trunk etc etc) of minimal impact and try to rouse discussion/interest about it [03:26:57] On bugzilla, if I upload the corrected php file should I mark that as a patch? [03:27:05] Or is that a special format?? [03:27:41] Splarka> None of those bugs affect what I'm correcting. [03:28:19] k, then you can probably open a new one ^_^ [03:28:38] {{#ifexist:{{{Info}}}
}} [03:28:40] (and you just upload a unified diff, or something) [03:28:58] thats the wrong syntax but thats llike qwhsat i want [03:29:02] #ifexist checks existence of pages [03:29:07] oh [03:29:18] #if checks if a string is null [03:29:37] so i need to change it to if and im golden? [03:29:37] {{{Info}}} will not be null unless passed as {{foo|Info=}} [03:30:01] you want {{#if:{{{Info|}}}|{{{Info}}}

[03:32:20] 03(mod) Autoload conflicts with other PHP packages in memory that also autoload - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14670 (10dmgx.michael) [03:33:53] Yeah, that's the one. [03:35:10] hi everyone! about new features , trac can built local svn ,mediawiki also can do this? because boinc wiki use trac,don't use mediawiki it"s that difference? thanks [03:35:40] Now onto my other problem - authenticating wiki off of vbulletin user tables instead of it's own. [03:39:11] now mediawiki 's bug support not better than trac .it's that true? [03:40:54] Michael_M: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VBulletin/Users_Integration [03:41:46] might be out of date [03:41:49] Well, that gives some clues on where to start, but both MediaWiki and vBulletin have changed several versions since that extension.. [03:41:52] also see: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:User_identity_extensions [03:42:00] vbulletin is now 3.7.2 and MediaWiki is 1.12 [03:42:41] and: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VBulletin_Users_Integration [03:42:43] I know vbulletin's structure like the back of my hand, but I haven't worked with Wiki before. Still, PHP is PHP yknow. [03:43:17] I'm familar with nuhit.com's bridge. [03:43:21] It is out of date as well. [03:43:36] The coder who made it hasn't been seen on vbulletin.org in over a year. [03:44:13] vbulletin recently significantly hardened their userauth routines for 3.7 [03:44:26] So getting around that promises to be "lots of fun :) " [03:44:50] Splarka: Is there any particular reason MediaWiki doesn't encode parentheses? [03:44:57] nuhit's bridge works up to vb 3.6 and MediaWiki 1.11 [03:44:59] Is it an RFC standard or something? Do you know? [03:45:27] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsinoe_%28mythology%29 [03:45:30] WFM MZM [03:45:40] Arsinoe (mythology) [03:45:50] I mean, in the URL bar. [03:45:54] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsinoe_(mythology) [03:46:06] IRC clients and e-mail clients truncate URLs like that. [03:46:08] still WFM [03:46:10] It's rather annoying. [03:46:16] Hmm. [03:46:20] I clicked the above link, I am at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsinoe_%28mythology%29 [03:46:26] where did *you* see that link? [03:46:35] In general I want to wholly disable wiki user creation and management - wiki would simply auth off of vbulletin's table. Looking at the links you gave me now. [03:46:36] Splarka, THANK YOU THATS PERFECT [03:46:51] more annoying is stupid IRC clients truncate at !, ., ?, etc, all valid URL components [03:47:06] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/! [03:47:09] Indeed. [03:47:17] It truncates that as well. [03:47:27] I think it would be nice if MW could do a check of some sort. [03:47:33] how? [03:47:38] it would just see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ for that [03:47:43] it is not MW's fault one bit, blame IRC clients [03:47:45] Yes, for that it wouldn't work. [03:47:53] ? is blocked by most IRC clients because of script kiddies. [03:47:53] But for open parentheses that don't close. [03:48:13] I never click URLs in IRC anyways, I always, 100% of the time, copy paste [03:48:17] There are a lot of redirects created by what I assume is bad e-mail clients, etc. [03:48:21] (I also have clicking disabled) [03:48:40] but then I might be odd, I type URLs in MW faster than I can click them [03:48:55] hmm [03:49:47] I heard Splarka is actually a monkey at a typewriter [03:49:56] Thank you Splarka> I'm going to bookmark these pages and study more in detail on Sunday. I'm too tired to launch a major code project at the moment. [03:50:03] So, if it tried http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsinoe_(mythology , saw that no page existed, and then did a quick check with the extra parentheses, is something like that feasible? [03:50:28] if you do hit any sort of title rewrite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/_Arsinoe_(mythology) or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/arsinoe_(mythology) etc it will redirect you to the encoded page [03:50:28] my client blocks (, ), <, and > [03:50:39] 03(NEW) A Wikipedia page modified seven months after " Last Modified" - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14671 normal; normal; MediaWiki: General/Unknown; (tm122464) [03:50:51] Skizzers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/. work for you?

[03:51:35] anyway, g2g [03:51:43] add [[Special:Prefixindex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}|search for this partial title]] [03:51:47] to Noarticletext [03:52:06] It would be nicer to have an automatic redirect. :) [03:52:11] could even possibly {{Special:Prefixindex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}}} [03:52:23] no, it would be more convenient, not "nicer" [03:52:37] it would be meaner to those that don't want to be redirected thusly [03:54:03] Can you imagine a scenario like that? [03:54:19] That is, MW already does some funky redirection anyway. No reason to not add convenience. [03:54:27] yes, I can [03:54:46] Does it have a high likelihood of ever happening? [03:54:55] Without an infinite number of monkeys... [03:55:00] "hmm, I want to create a page titled Foo" "ahh, but I found Foo. and will take you there, hahaha" "Fuck you mediawiki!" [03:55:12] for people that like to type in page titles in the URL bar [03:55:17] it will be *annoying* [03:55:25] and if it were a 302 redirect, it would be very annoying [03:55:44] But I'm talking about a page titled "Foo (bar". [03:55:45] plus expensive to do a prefixindex each missing page load [03:56:03] so, what, it would only check for unclosed parentheses? [03:56:29] Yes. [03:56:42] The other things would have too many false positives, I would think. [03:56:53] It's a quirky feature request, I realize. [03:57:04] and []{}""�� ? [03:57:12] and the zillion unicode paired characters? [03:57:13] ! [03:57:22] *Splarka grins [03:57:25] []{} are never allowed in page titles! [03:57:26] feature creep [03:57:31] Oh, nonsense. [03:57:46] suure, that's what you say [03:57:55] but just watch, you just get (, and someone'll come along and say, "but quotes!" [03:58:13] Well... does anyone ever open quotes and not close them? [03:58:16] :) [03:58:49] Making web content more accessible is not feature creep. [03:59:02] ... [03:59:08] feature creep is itself [03:59:15] Think of the children. [03:59:22] making web content more accessible in the way you describe will leave the feature OPEN to creep [03:59:39] it'll end up like the shit with link trails [03:59:44] *Splarka grins at Dantman [03:59:51] Heh. [03:59:51] and then each language will need a variant [03:59:55] and it'll be a headache [04:00:05] so srsly, WONTFIX is the best answer [04:00:08] So instead, people should simply not find the content they were linked to? [04:00:15] :/ [04:00:31] think of the servers! [04:00:42] well, if they can't find it, they wern't linked to it [04:00:50] by the fault of their IRC client or the paster [04:01:00] Or the e-mail client. [04:01:12] what you should do, is ask for mediawiki to rewrite-normalize punctuation [04:01:16] in the same way it does to spacesa [04:01:19] -a [04:01:28] Well, that was my original question! [04:01:41] Is there any reason it doesn't right now? [04:01:42] so that you *can't* go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsinoe_(mythology) without it being rewritten http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsinoe_%28mythology%29 [04:01:48] *Splarka shrugs [04:02:03] because () is valid RFC url syntax and IRC clients that don't follow it are stupid? [04:02:27] Visit my blog (http://blog.fooo.bar). [04:02:38] no thanks [04:02:40] Seems reasonable to me. :/ [04:02:43] paste the URL to your blog better [04:02:50] space delimiters seem reasonable to me [04:02:56] or in rare cases <> [04:03:14] Visit my blog ----> http://blog.foo.bar <----- [04:03:20] Heh.

[04:05:58] if you came here from an IRC link, your IRC client might suck huge donkey kong. Please click [[Special:Prefixindex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}|here]] to find the page you were linked to. [04:06:09] *Splarka grins [04:06:26] Hmmm, flying quickly around your conversation, also take note that different IRC clients will highlight URLs in different manners. [04:06:41] *MZMcBride frowns. [04:06:49] can't support em all [04:06:54] especially when some are contradictory [04:07:29] I use XChat, irssi, mIRC, sometimes Konversation, and each of them has a different manner to highlight URLs. Only irssi - afaik - can change its behaviour trough scripts. [04:07:48] (which are not bug-free anyway) [04:09:09] And to make it more complex, think that an "é" letter is rewrote like %CEsomething, and %C means Color Code for XChat - so sometimes one pastes a Wikipedia URL with "é" letters in it and you get a colored link, pointing to no valid article :) [04:09:11] mirc can [04:09:26] skiidoo: you should make a list of all trailing punctuation and unicode that is: allowed in mediawiki page titles without a 302 rewrite, allowed in mediawiki page titles > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(technical_restrictions), and disallowed in at least one IRC client [04:10:05] Well, /me suddently vanishes in another dimension [04:10:16] and then submit it as a bug like "always rewrite/normalize location to escape/encode these characters in URL bar" or such [04:10:27] so that Brion can say "IRC clients suck" and wontfix [04:10:33] heh [04:10:34] aww, but think of the developers! [04:11:04] Even without the UTF chars, the punctuations (even not traling ones) are enough to make me think there's no universal solution - well, maybe there is if you don't care about XChat colorizing links when they contain %C [04:11:21] heh [04:11:37] 03werdna * r36762 10/trunk/extensions/AbuseFilter/AbuseFilter.class.php: Also allow spaces, newlines, tabs to be ignored when processing rules [04:11:53] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%53%70%65%63%69%61%6C%3A%56%65%72%73%69%6F%6E [04:12:00] I'm trying to convince XChat's dev to make an exception in XChat links, i.e. do not colorize any \b(http://)?.*?\b links [04:12:17] https, file, gopher, mailto, news, irc [04:12:28] and so on and so on [04:13:08] skiidoo: the great thing about open sopurce software [04:13:27] Yes, I know I know, I have to learn C :) [04:14:29] Anyway, 6am mean time to get a bit of rest, have fun!

I've got a testwiki here, with enws loaded :) [05:06:44] heh, I've got it set up on my testwiki already [05:08:23] Werdna: either way, I can play abuser :) [05:08:28] +$message = wfMsg( 'antispoof-name-conflict', $name, implode( ', ',$conflict ) ); [05:08:35] You should use $wgLang->makeList [05:08:40] hmm [05:09:03] Werdna: that was what was there to start with, just changed the paramaters [05:09:27] yes, $wgLang->makeList > implode [05:09:35] oic [05:09:41] *JSharp is writing a ruby-pam authentication module to authenticate unix/PAM compatible systems against the mediawiki API :) [05:09:44] *SQLDb scutttles off to the manual [05:09:59] which reminds me, I should practice what I preach [05:10:21] lolz. Helpful :) http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgLang [05:10:36] *SQLDb goes off to read the source [05:12:43] maybe that method doesn't exist. [05:13:14] no, apparently not. [05:13:15] Please ignore me. [05:13:19] lol np [05:13:30] I was about to ask the same, I couldn't find it in the source :P [05:15:52] 03werdna * r36764 10/trunk/extensions/CentralAuth/CentralAuth.i18n.php: Fix WTFage - forgot to change a message name in CentralAuth.i18n.php [05:16:21] there is a madness to your method [05:20:29] hi there [05:20:38] is this the channel for mediawiki help? [05:20:55] no, we talk about dog training strategies. [05:21:04] Splarka: How do you make your dog sit? [05:21:10] roll up a newspaper [05:21:25] rofl [05:21:25] and slap Werdna in the face repeatedly until the dog sits [05:21:43] ok my question is maybe easy [05:21:56] but i found anything about that - so my question is: [05:22:16] is it possible to say "show me all pages in a catagorie as list" [05:22:18] for example [05:22:28] i have 30 pages in the categorie "linux" [05:22:32] ... Go to Category:Linux [05:22:53] i want include these category list in a other page [05:23:02] maybe i have a pageportal for linux [05:23:10] !DPL | darian_ [05:23:10] --mwbot-- darian_: The DynamicPageList (DPL) extension outputs reports based on criteria given in a special tag. For more information, see and . [05:23:14] !dpl [05:23:14] --mwbot-- The DynamicPageList (DPL) extension outputs reports based on criteria given in a special tag. For more information, see and . [05:23:24] *Splarka lags [05:23:28] heh [05:24:11] many thanks [05:25:49] next question: what is a good way to generate a download-portal? I have search for a extension - but did'nt find anything which me really help [05:26:11] example: i have on the page "samba" some "smb.conf" files [05:26:20] on the page "squid" some "squid.log" files [05:26:35] but i want a overview page with all downloads [05:26:39] is that possible? [05:29:31] and the last question: how is it possible to set the resoultion of thumbnail function [05:32:41] ^_^ You make me feel like altering the GeSHi extension to offer a "download source" button... [05:53:41] hey [05:53:44] anyone here? [05:56:16] No. [06:14:26] !DPL [06:14:26] --mwbot-- The DynamicPageList (DPL) extension outputs reports based on criteria given in a special tag. For more information, see and . [06:14:29] is great [06:14:41] but i have a little problem. [06:14:42] use: [06:14:46] category=Lexikon columns=3 rowcolformat=width=100% [06:14:46] [06:15:11] but i want that he only show "Pages startet with an A in the Categorie Lexikon" [06:15:15] is that possible? [06:22:57] I try to upload a .doc file to mediawiki but the name of the link has a prefix Image in it (eg:Image:AA.doc). is it posible to remove the prefix or change it to something else? [06:25:46] darian_: {{#dpl:category=Lexikon|columns=3|rowcolformat=width=100%|titlematch=A%}} [06:26:22] Dantman|FS: YOU ARE THE GREATEST!!!! [06:26:32] MANY MANY THANKS [06:26:50] *darian_ is Dancing and praying to Lord Dantman|F [06:27:00] :/ One ping is enough [06:29:15] one ping to bind them? [06:29:44] T_T Bind is evil... PowerDNS FTW!!! [06:30:17] Dantman|FS: your solution is not perfect [06:30:38] i have under the category=linux the categoriy suse [06:30:40] ^_^ We're talking about DPL... nothing is perfect [06:30:56] but if i use {{#dpl:category=Lexikon|columns=3|rowcolformat=width=100%|titlematch=A%}} [06:31:06] sorrry mean [06:31:15] {{#dpl:category=Linux|columns=3|rowcolformat=width=100%|titlematch=S%}} [06:31:26] they only show "caterogy: suse" [06:31:29] not samba and so on [06:31:39] l1f3: afaik, no. That will be done in a later version [06:31:41] but samba is in the categroy inux [06:32:47] Well, DPL is doing what it's told... grabbing a list of pages in a category... You didn't specify what namespaces to restrict to, or some method of traversing the categories... I don't even know if DPL has a feature to do that [06:33:29] DPL is a tool for quick and dirty hacks [06:34:14] It's never going to come out completely perfect, and moreoften than not, it not doing something right is because what you're trying to do is not simple and you should actually be redesigning your organization rather than relying on a unreliable tool [06:34:48] I stoped working with DPL in favor of SMW awhile ago [06:35:31] maybe for indexing is not the right [06:35:45] but for many other soulutions is a great dirty hack [06:36:02] Not really... DPL is evil... it kills servers [06:36:25] Wikia has stats dedicates to picking out wiki which are overusing DPL and harming the servers [06:36:35] I haven't even bothered to enable it on my own [06:38:39] ok then i will deleate DPL [06:38:43] thanks [06:52:00] Bleh both svnmerge.exe and svnmerge.py give me issues... [08:10:41] Is it posible to put a search engine into a page (ie:Main_page)?
