[05:01:13] I am searchng in the source though :-( [05:02:02] (with the grep -H -R "Common.js" * line) [05:05:54] Krimpet: So. What should I do? "Common.js" is obviously not mentioned anywhere in the source. And it's not mentioned in the Special:Allpages list. So it seems to not be for this version .. but when I look into this question on the web, nobody seems to mention it much. [05:06:01] i.e., at all [05:06:10] kanzure, lemme see. :) [05:15:14] 03(NEW) Search Engine So Poorly Deseigned It May As Well Be Broken - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15021 normal; normal; MediaWiki: Search; (soulshinobi) [05:15:44] wtf [05:17:35] resolved invalid: thanks for the fish. [05:21:01] kanzure, I think the problem is that 1.7 doesn't actually have a Common.js. it only has .js's for individual skins, like Monobook.js. [05:21:03] Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Give a man a fisherman, he can sit inside and play tetris [05:21:29] Krimpet: Is Monobook.js in the flat file dir? [05:21:47] kanzure, no, it's MediaWiki:Monobook.js [05:22:11] 14(INVALID) Search Engine So Poorly Deseigned It May As Well Be Broken - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15021 (10charitwo) [05:24:28] sadly, it seems MW 1.7 was still rather lacking in the JavaScript department. :/ [05:29:40] kanzure, are you stuck with 1.7 somehow, or have you considered upgrading? :) [05:29:55] Somehow stuck IIRC. I'll double check Real Soon. [05:30:22] but I have to admit I've spent way too much time on this single problem than I probably should [05:30:26] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Collapsible_tables [05:30:51] Clearly it cites the javascript. Alright, great. So I threw the new javascript into MediaWiki:Monobook.js. Awesome. But it's evident that there is some CSS involved that the page neglects to mention. [05:31:16] And the CSS from MediaWiki:Common.css on Wikipedia, for instance, does not include the collapsible CSS. [05:31:23] I went through all of the CSS includes ... [05:33:43] <3 unexpected reboots. [05:33:47] Krimpet: Did you get my messages? [05:34:11] kanzure, I don't believe so [05:35:17] computer decided to act on the will of its own and reboot. >_> [05:37:04] IIRC, though, the requirements for 1.7 are the same for all later versions, so upgrading should be possible. :) [05:37:06] Krimpet: Basically I'm trying to get collapsible tables working but I can't seem to find the CSS that I must import. [05:37:18] ah, I'll check [05:38:16] I've been going through all of the included CSS imports on the pages looking for the CSS classes that I'd need, and I can't seem to find it. [05:38:19] it/them [05:38:24] well, them. [05:38:48] kanzure, I believe you want the code at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js [05:38:59] starting at /** Collapsible tables [05:39:09] ending at addOnloadHook( createCollapseButtons ); [05:39:27] yes, I put that in Monobook.js and it doesn't work. [05:40:01] in your case, you might want to edit that by hand into skins/common/wikibits.js [05:40:03] hmm [05:40:20] oh [05:40:25] *kanzure goes to look [05:40:52] but the code on the wiki is clearly just CSS [05:41:06] actually, I've got a better idea... [05:41:15] I guess "createCollapseButtons" might read the css [05:41:36] uga [05:41:37] the class variable I mean [05:41:39] I doubt it. [05:41:44] uga [05:43:49] ? [05:44:45] kanzure, append this to your wikibits.js instead: http://rafb.net/p/m5dJV539.html [05:44:58] now, you'll have a working MediaWiki:Common.js. :) [05:45:17] (replace URL_TO_YOUR_INDEX_PHP_HERE though) [05:45:22] heh [05:45:31] BLATANT_VARIABLE_THAT_YOU_WILL_MISS [05:45:32] ok [05:46:23] then, stick that collapsible tables stuff in Common.js [05:46:48] (make sure, BTW, that ends in addOnloadHook( createCollapseButtons ); _inclusive_) [05:47:36] How'd you know to throw it into wikibits.js ? [05:47:49] wikibits.js is always loaded by all skins [05:48:03] And while Common.js is now loading, there's still no collapsible tables. [05:48:19] are you getting any JavaScript errors? [05:48:22] both Common.js and Monobook.js load because of the annoying alert() debugging I did. [05:48:24] Hm. [05:48:41] also, is this a public wiki? I'll take a look if it is [05:48:50] http://heybryan.org/mediawiki/index.php/Q1.1 [05:48:53] wgServer is not defined. [05:49:51] I don't recall if javascript completely crashes upon a bad variable. [05:49:56] I don't think it does. [05:50:07] it can be finicky at times. [05:50:24] ..? [05:50:37] I think it does crash on a bad variable [05:51:04] I see your Common.js has a lot of stuff in it that's built for newer versions of MW - that's likely it [05:51:17] uga [05:51:19] *kanzure replaces [05:51:39] you should remove everything except the Collapsible tables section [05:53:02] Krimpet: Nope. No good. [05:53:24] (btw, what I did leave in was recommended by some other sites.) [05:54:18] And even removing it. Hm. [05:54:36] hmm. [05:55:28] No more js errors though. Hurrah. But that's not what I was aiming for. [06:00:46] the on-load hook isn't getting fired... ugh. [06:03:18] Grumble grumble. [06:03:32] grrrr [06:05:10] Need to add more 'menace', qsheets. [06:05:19] okay.... [06:05:24] Krimpet: I'm fairly clueless as to how to proceed. [06:05:25] *qsheets turns js off [06:05:57] kanzure, oh, wait. after the stuff I told you to add to wikibits.js, append runOnloadHook(); [06:07:05] I think that's the magic bullet. :) [06:07:08] Nope. [06:07:11] Nice try though. :) [06:08:15] kanzure: what w/ all the tbody's in http://heybryan.org/mediawiki/index.php/Free_genes [06:08:23] oh, wait, no... put it right underneath document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s); instead [06:08:32] *Krimpet fails.

[06:09:23] in retrospect that wasn't a bright maneuver [06:09:23] lol [06:09:57] Krimpet: Trying. [06:11:51] ugh, that doesn't work either. >_< [06:12:02] Krimpet: Seems to cause slow load times. [06:15:27] Can't I just go steal some "dynamic HTML" stuffs and throw in some HTML into my wikitext? [06:18:32] OK, I tested on a local copy of MW 1.7.

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. [09:21:44] seeing as you have a custom skin by the looks of it, i suggest you just fix your css for ie6, or just ignore that crap browser :-) [09:21:48] Werdna: but how to enable? i typed in the article: {{extension |name = FLVPlayer }} and doesnt work [09:23:20] Unfortunately, That Crap browser is the Mostly used Web Browser :( [09:24:24] not on sites i run. [09:24:47] 34% ie7, 16% ie6 [09:25:04] :) [09:25:06] for example [09:25:28] 32% firefox [09:25:29] :) [09:26:52] But if u see in Screen shot, the Lowest Image in fine.

But not 6 :) [09:30:35] but dont seem to be followed [09:31:14] theorically 1.13 revision tagging ... [09:36:55] Werdna: of course [09:37:29] okay, see http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Extension [09:40:20] 03siebrand * r38485 10/trunk/phase3/languages/ (Names.php messages/MessagesNah.php): Updated for 'nah' per http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Translating:Tasks&diff=532678&oldid=532672 [09:40:42] ie5.5 is more broken than ie6, so i dunno how you managed that. however, noone uses ie5.5 now apart from perhaps a few bot bot/scripts which id as it. [09:41:12] or a few people left, whose machines are probably 0wned (if they really are running ie5.5) [09:41:48] Optimistically, How long it will take before Firefox completely overtakes IE ? [09:42:11] i dont analyse trends. [09:42:36] and its not possible to answer that is it. as it depends on many variables/factors [09:42:43] it's [09:42:52] That won't happen, unless Microsoft dissapears, or includes Firefox by default inside of Windows... [09:43:23] There will always be new computer users to lazy to find out what web browser suits them best and will stick to what's pre-installed... in other words IE [09:43:39] it's unlikely.. but windows users are getting educated and recommendations from friends to run firefox etc [09:44:15] Even I switeched to Firefox 2 years after getting my own PC :) [09:45:30] I used IE for quite some time, even with a Firefox elitist proding me constantly... [09:46:43] Back then I was more software based than web based (Was learning Java rather than PHP), and IE started up faster than Firefox at the time... Clear which suited me better then. [09:55:01] IE doesnt need to be overtaken. [09:55:25] Just consider the support from Firefox to vorbis-theora [09:55:37] will press Webkit to support it [09:55:52] will encourage people upload content on those formats to the web [09:56:02] and will press M$ to support it also [09:56:13] So even not overtaking IE , Firefox will shape it [09:57:09] Werdna: i read that, but in my website doesnt work, doesnt display the INFOBOX... how should i enable it? [09:57:47] ronparker1: you said you were doing it on MediaWiki.org. [09:58:10] Werdna: yes im using mediawiki on my website [09:58:53] ah, well you need to copy the templates from MediaWiki.org [09:59:16] Werdna: how is possible to copy that template? is there a guide?

[11:24:17] [11:24:37] Wait. I will check the CSS file of my skin.. [11:28:34] It seems the CSS doesn't have any method to apply the CSS Fix :(. But I have a file called IE60Fixes.css in the Skin Directory [11:28:44] How to apply the CSS fix ? [11:32:01] per the html above [11:32:10] [11:32:16] with IE6 specific code inside [11:32:42] though if your skin is customized it might not help much if that is the old monobook IEfixes [11:34:40] Can u post a few lines of Monobook fix ?

In Which file ? [11:39:56] vinodhrajan: view a page source, see if there are any [11:41:59] is that the correct path to the file? [11:42:19] do you access it via yourdomain.com + /w/skins/_ycgu_max_/IE60Fixes.css ?

[12:03:46] not to /w/images/math [12:04:59] What directory settings do you have in LocalSettings.php? Use a pastey [12:05:15] http://pastebin.com/f901effe [12:06:51] the tags work when I use the preview, since the preview is /w/index.php?title=page and not /wiki/page, so it goes to the correct directory [12:07:14] Delete those last three lines [12:07:20] You are using relative paths, that's your issue [12:07:25] Paths need to be absolute [12:08:01] absolute from the wiki's root? [12:08:17] Yes... just don't set those... they have a good default already [12:08:50] You only need to change them if you're using some custom location for your uploads [12:10:02] ok [12:11:04] and I have another question: how do I change the licence of the wiki? when I installed it it was GFDL, but now I want to change that [12:11:51] Well there are two lines to that issue... [12:12:14] Firstly, does the wiki have content other people have made? If so, you might have some legal issues there. [12:13:20] As for actually changing configuration, imho the options are a bit of a mess... the easiet way to get a different set of licensing options is to use the config script to generate a new localsettings and copy the license section into your actual config file [12:14:57] okey [12:35:30] Hey what's going on, I'm looking to ask a question [12:36:36] I can't seem to find anything anywhere telling me whether or not the wiki name is copyrighted, So I'm not sure if it would be possible to register a domain name with wiki in it [12:37:04] are you asking about the word "wiki" [12:37:08] Mediawiki, wikimedia and wikipedia are copyrighted [12:37:10] wiki isn't [12:37:13] the word "wiki" is not copyrighted [12:37:20] fantastic, thankyou very much [12:38:29] *trademarked* [12:38:35] names can't be copyrighted [12:38:43] Correct [12:39:44] Note btw that many domain names with wiki are already registered [12:40:16] yeah I did a quick google search and just wanted to make sure that the project I am going to do is legal :) [12:40:32] would hate to get sued for breach of copyright over a domain name :) [12:41:01] Ah, and best not register e.g. thiswiki.org if there already is a thiswiki.net [12:41:14] Yeah :) [12:41:22] Thanks for the help everyone, I appreciate it [12:42:42] I had to wait for my wiki name to become available.

[13:08:42] Any suggestions? [13:11:42] you'd need to either add the category to the pages, or add a template to the pages and add the category to the template [13:14:50] AutoWikiBrowser would do the adding to each page [13:18:11] Thanks.

[15:00:42] <[]> 1.13 rc1 [15:01:27] Why would there be? [15:04:45] <[]> as end for " No, it's not required... in fact in svn we enforce that no files end with it [15:06:33] It used to cause a huge ammount of bug reports [15:07:33] The methods users used to download the PHP files somtimes appended whitespace to the end of files... When ?> was there that meant that the whitespace would be output to the browser, and this caused the classic php error about content being sent before headers [15:08:00] hi everyone [15:08:14] So every last ?> was removed from every file in core and every extension [15:08:30] i am looking for a way to find out which images were recently removed from a category. how would i do that? [15:09:13] ChrisiPK: MediaWiki doesn't keep track of removal from a category.. you'll just have to check the diffs for pages [15:09:37] Dantman i see. but how will i find the pages that were in the category? [15:10:43] you don't... not without browsing the recent changes diffs to see if anyone edited out any category tags [15:11:00] It's not feasable for MediaWiki to track removal of categories... only existance in them [15:11:15] uh oh i am talking about like 2 weeks of recent changes in the second largest wikipedia [15:11:35] Why do you even need to track them down? [15:11:37] Dantman, it's feasible, it's just not currently done. [15:11:40] well ok then, thanks anyway [15:11:55] Dantman i think i remember a bug in the commonsdelinker [15:12:04] he does not remove a template which he should remove [15:12:10] i am just looking for the diff link [15:12:19] noticed it some time ago and somehow lost it [15:12:26] Simetrical: How is it feasable? [15:13:31] You can't do something on edit to track it... there's the whole templates thing. And if you did find a way to merge it in with the job que, it would be spammed every time someone removed a category from a large use template... [15:13:56] ok, another idea....is there a way to search the pages edited by a certain user in a certain time span for a certain string? [15:15:53] Not really... unless you build something to use the api itterate over someone's usercontribs, then check the diff for each edit they made [15:16:15] hmm ok thanks [15:16:26] intersection of two lists: user contribs and search results. unreliable, of course [15:18:14] aah i found it [15:18:16] another way [15:18:20] thanks for your help [15:19:03] mmm... session backend [15:23:42] <[]> well, next question is on pure standartd mediawiki's edit tools - buttons over edit area I had an extended set, but after upgaiding it was not restored automatically [15:26:15] []: upgrade from what to what? was the extended set in JS?

You have it update every time you update the categorylinks table. [15:31:14] It's not going to be "spammed", not like it will be put on RC or anything. [15:31:23] It would be made available primarily on a per-page basis.

My recommendation is that Betawiki refrains from having non-natives [19:12:42] translating messages; even if they think themselves able, too much weirdness [19:12:45] creeps in. Better leave the mesages untranslated, instead of spreading [19:12:47] gibberish.

[19:16:05] This was one of the "translations" from betawiki [19:16:37] It's not war, it's a matter of having a translation I'm not sorry about having my name on. [19:19:59] And I'm as much on your side as I can be without being able to read the translations myself, but it's not going to be pleasant regardless.

I really think we're getting close with the code, it looks good, no idea why it's not working. Maybe you could test it yourself? If it works for you, there might be a problem with my cache.

[20:56:56] I mean without knowing what it is [20:57:00] :-) [20:57:28] what do you mean... if you don't use the colon, it places the page in that category... if you do use it, it links to the category instead [20:57:30] Something like a variable or template that gets expanded [20:57:44] you mean transclude the category? [20:57:53] transclude?

Or maybe one of the semantic extensions... [21:08:31] I'd like to throw in a left-handed sidebar that can be instantiated from the wikitext of the current page being viewed. I looked into Template:Navigation_bar but that wasn't it. Any hints? [21:08:51] How about moving the category box to the top of the page? Do I just need to edit the right template for that?
