[09:28:30] they are irreversably hashed [09:28:32] It's unlikely, but certainly possible. [09:28:38] but if a user has access to them they can dictionary them [09:28:48] without rate limit [09:29:06] and as experience shows, this will have a proven weakness for a certain percentage of users [09:30:37] all they have to do is shove a dictionary through md5($id."-".md5($passwd)) and compare to the result [09:31:09] luckily, rainbow tables are rather useless with the userid salt [09:31:42] yeah [09:31:56] and you need two rainbow tables.

I have a title : "test fichiers XML" but when I'm searching "XML", MW didn't find any entry :/ [10:44:26] Sorry for posing a most probably often answered question, but I'm unable to find an answer [10:44:46] A number of extensions have ceased to work since v1.12 [10:44:54] ( mediawiki-1.10.1 ) [10:45:21] the problem seems to be, that many extensions add their hooks to $wgHooks within the extension function [10:46:00] to fix it, it is usually enough to add the hook on the global level of an extension [10:46:16] Is that the problem? [10:46:26] Or am I missing something here? [10:46:40] Because a number of the extensions claim to work with 1.12 + [10:47:32] maybe they put that before 1.13 existed, and something broke them :) [10:47:53] actually sputnick_, why do you have an error message in french Oo [10:49:04] DarkoNeko: no, that's what I wrote in a page of my mediawiki, not the error ! I'm looking to this title in the search bar but that doesn't match [10:50:33] DarkoNeko: well, these extension do not work in 1.12 either [10:50:40] uuh [10:53:40] sputnik_: Have you looked up the docs at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Fulltext_search_engines [10:54:09] sputnik_: Apparently, the full text search of mysql is not very useful [10:54:42] sputnik_: (see at the very bottom of the page, in "Discussion") [11:03:07] Hi! I don't know if this is the right channel, but I ask anyway: On my wiki I have users who use the
 tag. Is there some other tag (or extension) to use wikilinks within the tag (and still not change the format)?
[11:04:36] 	you can indent a single line to wrap it in pre, and yet still parse wikicode
[11:04:49] 	although all wikicode gets parsed in such a case
[11:05:37] 	but whitespace is preserved
[11:05:53] 	compare:
[11:05:56] 	
foo [[bar]]  baz
[11:05:56] foo [[bar]] baz [11:06:14]
foo [[bar]]  baz
and
foo bar  baz
[11:06:27] Could someone take a look at this extension code http://rafb.net/p/8OOhK291.html and check why the result only shows up in the edit view ABOVE the preview content? when i save the article it's not showing up. [11:08:55] Splarka:I don't follow you. With
 I get a lightblue box around the text. Without 
 I have to use alot of   to format the output.
[11:09:34] 	start a new line, and before your text put in one space
[11:09:38] 	And yes, I know that I should divide text and presentation
[11:11:02] 	But I's a 9k text within the 
 tag. 
[11:11:32] 	It's actualy an index
[11:11:55] 	Perhaps I should make an template for it.
[11:12:48] 	Subfader: I don't see any problem with the code, to me it looks good.
[11:13:28] 	i tried to disable all other extensions i use but no change
[11:14:20] 	i changed the output of this original extension code http://gitorious.org/projects/randompages/repos/mainline/blobs/master/RandomPages.php 
[11:14:22] 	MikaelLindmark: did you try the alternate method of lightblue box without 
? 
[11:16:11] 	Splarka:What alternativ? Using alot of   ?
[11:16:19] 	but since i can see it in the preview it seems to work technically, just not the output on the article page
[11:16:21] <_mary_kate_>	MikaelLindmark: putting a space at the start of the line
[11:16:30] 	_mary_kate_: said that twice... clue--'

[11:19:46] *MikaelLindmark 	blush
[11:20:05] 	worse was going to 3 wikis with various settings, to test it
[11:20:54] 	how does one go about adding characters to the 'link text'
[11:21:03] 	it might need tidy to work properly..
[11:21:04] 	e.g. if i have [[Foobar]]c'h
[11:21:09] 	and i want to make it all linked
[11:21:16] 	at the moment it only links [[Foobar]]c
[11:21:22] 	[[Foobar|Foobarc'h]]
[11:21:24] 	no
[11:21:27] <_mary_kate_>	spectie: you need to change the link trail
[11:21:33] <_mary_kate_>	i think that's a config option nowadays
[11:21:34] 	_mary_kate_, that's what i'm talking about
[11:21:37] 	how is it done ?
[11:21:38] 	hmmm
[11:21:42] 	bad idea to allow '
[11:21:46] 	'''[[Foo]]'''
[11:22:02] 	Splarka, the only problem is with unicode apostrophes
[11:22:13] 	french? klingon?
[11:22:18] 	Breton
[11:22:44] *Splarka 	thinks the linktrail is hardcoded per language... maybe
[11:23:00] 	http://google.com/codesearch?num=100&q=package%3Asvn.wikimedia.org%2Fsvnroot%2Fmediawiki%2Ftrunk+file%3Aphase3%2F+linktrail
[11:23:27] 	so you'll have to go to your /languages/messages/MessagesXx.php where Xx is the language code, and change $linktrail
[11:23:32] 	$linkTrail, even
[11:24:03] <_mary_kate_>	and file a bug to get that fixed in MW itself

[11:38:06] 	layout = lighblue background
[11:42:20] 	all layout except the preservation of teletext (monospace font) and whitespace you mean?
[11:43:42] 	Splarka:Yes. Use same background and no border. I guess thats done in css.

[11:44:21] 	ah, I was looking in the Common.css
[11:44:33] 	things like white-space:pre; and font-family:monospace; are usually implicit for 
 in browsers
[11:44:38] 	hmm
[11:44:49] 	do you want to remove that border from all 
 ?
[11:44:54] 	or just indented pre?
[11:45:28] 	Splarka:I will force the users to use templates instead.
[11:45:39] 	well, if you just wrap it..

[12:30:01] If I add a symbolic link mediawiki/images to /home/blah mediawiki is not able to build the thumbnails [12:30:21] bloubs: it will only find images it has put there itself, either by uploading, or by importing them [12:30:44] a symbolic link should be fine, provided php can write to the target directory [12:31:00] ...and provided images can also be served fro mthere.

I was looking at wrong page [12:40:10] Then I'll remove it in the main.css? Right? Everything in Common.css [12:41:22] *Splarka nods [12:45:33] Splarka:Great it works now, but it's still a light, light light blue background. The border is gone! Thanks! [12:45:34] _mary_kate_, [12:45:41] http://br.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Linktrail [12:45:48] i think you might be able to just change it here [12:45:52] <_mary_kate_> not anymore [12:45:55] \Duesentrieb I have imported one image and actually, it can find it, but it cannot create the thumbnails [12:46:09] <_mary_kate_> people kept fucking up the linktrail and breaking the wiki, so it's hardcoded now [12:46:29] some think it needs to be consistent within a given language [12:46:40] _mary_kate_, oh [12:46:42] I got the error: Warning mkdir [12:46:44] _mary_kate_, where can you request it ? [12:46:50] *Splarka thinks it needs to be consistent, in all languages and at all times, since it is a hack to the parser, but is silenced by mob rule [12:47:08] <_mary_kate_> spectie: bugzilla.wikimedia.org [12:47:14] Splarka, what does? [12:47:18] _mary_kate_, thanks [12:47:52] but the directory is 777 mode, its owner is www-data (but the link belongs to root, I can't change the owner) [12:49:49] spectie: it is a change in how the parser functions so should be consistent, it is spooky to let it change often (or ever) [12:50:20] Splarka:Why is there a backgrund color when the css have "background-color:none" ? [12:53:00] dunno, voodoo? [12:53:24] I don't see it [12:54:02] *Splarka adjusts monitor [12:54:30] ahh, there it is, barely [12:54:46] dunno [12:54:47] Splarka:hehe [12:54:58] background-color: transparent !important; [12:55:00] maybe [12:56:39] 03(NEW) Inputboxes have been broken - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16246 normal; normal; MediaWiki extensions: Inputbox; (kwj2772) [12:58:52] 3(NEW) People think republicans lost the election, plz fix - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16247 4BLOCKER; normal; World: United Staes; (mccandycain) [13:00:52] Splarka:YES, that fixed it!

[13:19:19] var wgUserGroups = ["Member", "*", "user", "autoconfirmed", "emailconfirmed"]; [13:19:28] the account is at LEAST in the Bots group as well [13:19:37] that being my main concern at the moment [13:20:14] in /includes/Skin.php -- 'wgUserGroups' => $wgUser->isAnon() ? NULL : $wgUser->getEffectiveGroups(), [13:20:16] it is correctly flagged as a bot in Recentchanges, but since the bot itself uses wgUserGroups to determine whether or not the flag has been set, it throws a warning about that [13:20:42] ? [13:20:50] sorry, that meant little to me [13:20:58] I don't have access to the PHP files [13:20:58] on a wiki I am a sysop on, for example, I see: ["sysop", "*", "user", "autoconfirmed", "patroller"]; [13:21:18] the sysop group is assigned, the other 3 are implicit [13:21:27] mm-hmm [13:21:37] this account has both Member and Bot assigned [13:21:44] 03(mod) There should be a way to change "home" wiki in CentralAuth - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14234 +comment (10kwj2772) [13:22:01] are you sure it doesn't have the bot right, through the member group? [13:22:12] yes [13:22:58] in the Special:Listusers, it's listed under both Bot and Member [13:23:10] and another account (my non-bot account) is also listed under Member [13:24:29] well, it first does a check for all groups the user is assigned to, then it adds '*', then it adds implicit groups [13:24:59] it might be possible to suppress that via extension using UserEffectiveGroups but... that sounds unlikely [13:25:14] can you link to this wiki? [13:25:17] sure [13:25:29] http://baronsbazaar.invisionzone.com/wiki/Main_Page [13:25:40] accounts are DragoonWraith and DragoonWraithBot [13:26:44] are you logged in with DragoonWraithBot in a web browser? [13:26:54] currently, yes [13:27:02] how did you know that? [13:27:45] didn't, was wondering if you were using a script like pywikipediabot [13:27:59] heh, that's exactly what I'm using in general [13:28:12] I'm only logged in to check wgUserGroups [13:28:25] PyWikpedia uses wgUserGroups to determine permissions [13:28:27] unfortunately [13:28:37] it's hard-coded to assume the default configuration [13:28:46] so my custom group "Member" is not being understood [13:29:43] MSIE, FF, Opera? [13:29:55] Firefox [13:31:02] javascript:void(alert(wgUserGroups.join(' '))) [13:31:09] what do you get if you paste that in the location bar? [13:31:22] hmm... now the site is hanging on me [13:32:29] same thing - Member * user autoconfirmed emailconfirmed [13:32:54] http://baronsbazaar.invisionzone.com/wiki/Special:Listusers/bot [13:33:01] hmm, try making an edit [13:33:06] I think you're no longer a bot [13:35:21] something rather screwy with your rights setup [13:35:59] you have 3 groups almost the same name, heh, confusing [13:36:06] that's... odd [13:36:14] indeed, you ain't no bot [13:36:42] disappeared between 14:07 and 14:13 [13:37:01] well... 13:59 and 14:13 [13:43:38] hi, back, something weird just happened with my IRC [13:44:50] DragoonWraith, its about freenode, not "your" "IRC" [13:44:56] what's the last function called in OutputPage.php to return the fully rendered page's html? [13:45:25] huh? I meant that the program I'm using, or else my connection, just freaked out - unless it was a system-wide thing?

[13:58:55] you'd need to change some settings [13:58:59] yes [13:59:02] <_mary_kate_> serwou: give the table a class and add the CSS in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] [13:59:08] <_mary_kate_> *don't* edit any php files [13:59:12] ok [13:59:36] how I give a class to a wiki table? Should I switch to HTML table tags ? [13:59:41] oh, yeah, that DOES make more sense [13:59:48] no, you can use Wiki syntax [13:59:54] {| class="whatever" [14:00:00] cool [14:00:02] hold on [14:00:34] thanks for the tip [14:06:53] I changed a parser extension to my needs and the result only shows up in the edit view ABOVE the preview content. when i save the article it's not showing up. Here's the little code: http://rafb.net/p/8OOhK291.html Any idea what is wrong?

[14:17:29] Commons.css should be included in every page [14:17:39] and therefore definitions added to it should affect that page [14:18:31] Common.css* [14:18:33] not plural [14:22:19] well, my webserver is restricted access, for each hits, you must be authenticate [14:22:24] well, should work [14:22:30] gonna double check my URL [14:22:58] k [14:28:32] {| class="tablebackground" and then on MediaWiki:Common.css : background-image: url('images/5/58/Accueil.jpg'); [14:28:36] ? [14:28:53] ah [14:28:58] you need something like [14:29:58] .tablebackground { background-image: url('images/5/58/Accueil.jpg'); } [14:30:07] you need to tell it what's getting the background [14:30:22] yes, sorry, i've forgot to paste this pat [14:30:24] part* [14:30:26] oh [14:30:28] heh [14:30:33] hrm [14:30:37] mind linking? [14:30:39] I'll look [14:39:46] anyone know of a good plugin for turning wiki pages into a pdf? [14:42:58] troynt, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Search/PDF [14:44:49] Bdka: do you have a recommendation? [14:45:26] depends on what you want to do exactly ... [14:46:28] I want to export a page as a PDF [14:47:31] well, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection is pretty neat, used on some Wikimedia projects ... for single pages see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PDF_Writer [14:48:34] some other extensions are linked there [14:49:18] Bdka: thx [14:51:02] does anyone know if there is a way for a Template to do use the version of a page that results from using the "pipe trick"? [14:51:22] (i.e. stripping namespace and parentheticals) [14:52:25] Here is what i did but my still not able to change the background color : http://pastebin.ca/1245916 [14:53:39] hmm [14:54:18] well, for background-color, you shouldn't need to use this at all; that works inline [14:54:24] but, really... this should work [14:54:37] 00ff00 is an ugly color, btw [14:54:51] try background:#00FF00; [14:55:04] or background:#00FF00 !important; [14:55:25] That's test purpose DragoonWraith [14:55:26] ;) [14:55:27] oh, the !important might be meaningful... but I'd be very surprised if background: instead of background-color: worked [14:55:30] (I figured) [14:56:15] try it with the !important before the semi-colon [14:56:18] not at all Subfader :-/ [14:56:28] if that doesn't work, try to confirm that Common.css is being included in the page [14:56:39] if you use View Source [14:56:46] ok table in main.css uses background-color: white; so use background-color: #00FF00 !important; [14:56:54] yeah [14:57:02] there is a @import Common.css [14:57:07] k [14:57:09] that's good [14:57:19] is it before, or after, main.css? [14:57:25] if it's before, then you need the !important [14:57:31] but it really should be after [14:57:44] it's after [14:58:02] well, try the !important anyway, but being after Main.css it should override it [14:58:04] humm, works now, cache problem [14:58:11] oh, d'oh! [14:58:12] heh [14:58:14] been there [14:58:17] done that [14:58:18] many times [14:59:06] time to test with the image (background-image [15:00:37] hooOOoo [15:00:43] nasty cache, seems to works [15:01:41] I had this info in the logs : title=MediaWiki:Common.css&usemsgcache=yes&action=raw&ctype=text/css&smaxage=18000 HTTP error : 304 (was already in the cache) [15:02:10] 03(NEW) Prevent search engines from indexing the user namespace in Hebrew Wikipedia - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16247 15enhancement; normal; Wikimedia: Site requests; (reumil) [15:02:50] Could someone take a look at this extension code http://rafb.net/p/8OOhK291.html and check why the result only shows up in the edit view ABOVE the preview content? when i save the article it's not showing up. [15:03:29] I looked briefly, but I don't know any PHP, sorry [15:04:26] Ok thanks. It looks like another extension is fucking up the parser function [15:04:45] How do I get the little message up in the top left corner of monobook? [15:05:17] how would i make a content box thingy? :> [15:05:35] "content box thingy"? [15:05:37] chuck: what little message [15:05:50] was about to ask that too [15:06:46] DragoonWraith: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:TOCright [15:07:00] Ah [15:07:37] i am very new to wikis / pretty confused; i need to define that in my page and have it as a template defined somehow [15:07:56] is this on your own Wiki, or are you adding a page to a Wiki? [15:08:08] check if there is a Template:TOCright on the Wiki [15:08:22] DragoonWraith: well, wiki for a npo; making open source games :-) [15:08:36] DragoonWraith: the wiki was just started, so no templates .... [15:08:53] well, some are added by default I think... TOCright might be one of them [15:08:55] either way [15:09:10] go to your.wiki.net/wiki/Template:TOCright [15:09:19] obviously switching the URL to match the Wiki [15:09:29] if there is already one there, you should be able to use that [15:09:30] if NOT [15:09:37] then you can copy the code from the page you linked to [15:09:43] by the way [15:09:57] you use it with {{TOCright}} in the page [15:10:07] yeah, that's the plan, tryin to actually do that xD [15:10:19] it puts the "TOC" (Table of Contents) on the right side, roughly in the vertical place that the code shows up [15:10:27] hope i'll get it right.. [15:10:36] the stuff inside the tags won't work [15:10:55] because you don't have a Utility Templates category or the documentation page [15:11:07] making the Utility Templates category is probably a good idea [15:11:14] if i want to use one alligned to the left? TOCleft template with the code changed, right? xD [15:11:21] ah, well [15:11:23] you could [15:11:31] and there should be a Template:TOCleft on the site you linked to [15:11:37] which has some additional features [15:11:39] :-) [15:11:39] however [15:11:42] TOCs in general [15:11:53] are automatically added to any page that has more than three headings [15:11:59] (headings being the bits between ='s_ [15:12:01] if you laways want the toc on the right use #toc { float:right; margin: 0.7em 0 1em 1em; } in MediaWIki:Common.css [15:12:03] so like [15:12:05] == Heading == [15:12:37] and for something with 3 or less headings, you can force the TOC to appear using __TOC__ [15:12:37] DragoonWraith: oh, i had only 2 so far, so i need to add more.. [15:12:38] Or if you want TOC to go right in one page, better to use
__TOC__
[15:12:50] DragoonWraith: i see :-) thanks [15:13:01] Subfader, The little messages on Wikipedia, they used to say like "Please donate" or something [15:13:05] you can also force it to not include a TOC even with more headings by using __NOTOC__ [15:13:08] str4nd: roger [15:13:10] right up in the top left corner to the right of the logo [15:13:35] generally those went across the entire top of the screen; I don't really consider that to be "left" [15:13:39] anyway, uh... [15:13:49] it's one of the system messages I think [15:13:55] there are many ways to realize that. check http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:HeaderFooter [15:14:15] chuck: or check http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PayPal [15:14:45] pretty sure MediaWiki has a built in way to add messages on the top like that [15:14:47] DragoonWraith: indeed; but if not including TOC, then just why not just erase {{TOCleft}} from the page? :P [15:15:37] what's the situation for using __NOTOC__ ? [15:15:44] because toc comes automatically otherwise [15:15:49] oh [15:15:54] HeaderFooter lets you set a header or footer per namespace etc. Quite useful [15:16:11] sounds it [15:16:41] actually, speaking of those banners - the current one is rather large and obnoxious, I think [15:17:29] annoying. more often and offensive with every time [15:18:11] well you can toggle it away [15:18:16] offensive's a stretch, I think [15:18:19] is anyone using the Collection plugin on their wiki? [15:18:40] running into "This subpage of Collection does not exist " [15:19:17] first letter capitalization problem ? [15:19:34] troynt: where did you get that message? [15:20:14] @ DarkoNeko: ? {{DISPLAYTITLE:_____}}? [15:20:23] uh [15:20:23] oh [15:20:24] wait [15:20:26] nevermind [15:20:31] that was in response to troynt [15:20:40] I was trying to figure out who you were talking to [15:20:49] or if you were asking a question [15:21:18] :) [15:21:33] Argh, the global sitenotice is screwing up all the FA icons, page protection icons, etc. [15:21:38] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama [15:22:01] lol [15:22:11] oh, that is bad [15:23:39] wouldn't happen with HeaderFooter lol [15:38:15] thanks you for the help [15:38:17] CU [15:44:31] 03(mod) Sort results by date - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16237 (10matthew.britton) [15:47:13] CU, he said, lol [15:48:47] I'm very proud of myself that I didn't realize what he meant [16:04:47] that's the usual abbreviation for checkuser [16:04:54] but I assume he meant "see you" [16:05:06] (as far as my crappy english pronounciation is concerned) [16:05:33] heh [16:05:42] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Checkuser <- [16:05:49] neither of the Wikis I work on are large enough to use CheckUser pretty much ever [16:05:52] I know what it is [16:05:55] ah, sorry :) [16:05:57] heh [16:06:04] czechuser :P [16:06:07] haha [16:06:13] often on this chan, people install wikipedia but have no idea how it works :) [16:06:21] s/wikipedia/mediawiki/ [16:06:23] nor edit it [16:06:29] yeah, yeah [16:06:38] MW [16:07:06] *DarkoNeko likes this week's wikizine :) [16:08:20] image: -> file: , new search system, renameUser upgraded :) [16:09:15] *DragoonWraith is interested [16:09:18] link? [16:09:25] http://en.wikizine.org/2008/11/year-2008-week-45-number-101.html [16:09:40] I think I'l ltranslate that or a part of it for french readers [16:16:55] Evening. Looking for a function that I can't seem to find... Is there any way to create a form that updates another form when you input a value. Like for making a converter between Celsius and Farenheit per example? [16:17:22] use a Template [16:17:32] if you have ParserFunctions installed, anyway [16:17:36] something like [16:18:02] BOX A : Temperature Celsius, BOX B : Temperature Farenheit. Changeable by user without editing the page. [16:18:54] ok, so you want some kind of button that switches values from one to the other? [16:19:02] Yeah, exactly. [16:19:15] Like something to calculate speed after a time falling etc. [16:19:17] ok, definitely possible, but my JavaScript is weak [16:19:25] ah, so text input too [16:19:28] again [16:19:31] should be possible [16:19:32] I don't know how [16:19:48] And with a open box where one could enter a value, and have it update realtime. [16:19:54] you might need an extension for it, too [16:19:55] Used to know how to to it realtime... [16:20:04] .... but only in DHTML. [16:20:27] DHTML isn't really a language, it's more of a concept [16:20:45] DHTML is usually accomplished in JS or PHP or some such, if I understand correctly [16:21:04] *nods* I think it was JS on the pages I created. [16:21:11] probably [16:21:23] it's the most common/simplest [16:21:36] getting JS into a MW page shouldn't be *too* hard [16:23:04] I'll keep looking then. I was mostly wondering if there was allready a extension or something someone had done allready. [16:23:09] *grins* Laaaazy [16:23:10] :) [16:23:17] probably is [16:23:20] I just don't know it [16:34:09] DragoonWraith: heya, around? [16:34:20] yeah, sup? [16:34:53] DragoonWraith: fighting with the wiki xD [16:35:24] DragoonWraith: so i made a template TOCleft [16:35:28] k [16:35:43] DragoonWraith: want the code for Contents like the one over here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warcraft_(series) [16:35:54] something along the lines of
__TOC__
? [16:36:13] um i guess [16:36:20] ignore that for now [16:36:23] first, on the linked page [16:36:36] that Contents box is auto-generated by the wiki [16:36:57] so it doesn't appears in the template list when editing the article, right? [16:37:09] no, the template is only used for moving the TOC around [16:37:19] hence TOCleft, TOCright [16:37:31] oh, a... setting... [16:37:36] ? [16:37:56] ok, so what do to? [16:38:06] well, I'm not certain I understand what you're trying to do [16:38:12] what about that box are you trying to get? [16:38:21] the way it does like 2, 2.1, 2.1.1? [16:38:23] Any tips for converting a MySQL MediaWiki database to a Postgres MediaWiki database? [16:38:28] with the sub-points? [16:38:36] DragoonWraith: i don't get a content box at all... [16:38:50] add __TOC__ to the top of the page [16:38:52] DragoonWraith: i actually know to do the sub-points (more "=") [16:38:58] oh, will try that now [16:39:13] or, actually, it's probably better to put it after the first paragraph, before the first heading [16:39:27] but that's up to you, wherever you want it to show up [16:39:41] DragoonWraith: worked :D [16:39:45] yay! [16:39:48] thanks mate [16:39:51] no problem [16:40:41] DragoonWraith: homm 3 / disciples 2 fan by any chance? [16:40:52] or similar games... [16:41:18] cool fantasy nickname :-) [16:41:18] well, define "similar games" - I haven't played either of those, but I do play a fair number of RPGs [16:41:23] heh [16:41:24] yeah [16:41:27] somewhat off-topic [16:41:29] DragoonWraith: oh, too bad :P [16:41:33] yeah [16:46:19] Any benchmarks on which performs better? Postgres or MySQL? [16:46:32] in a parser extension how can i make this line $buff .= sprintf('{{Media|%s}}', $title->__toString(), $title->__toString(), $title->__toString()); use $wgOut->addWikiText(<< svippy: with mysql you'll have less trouble [16:48:18] Subfader: Troubles such as? Setting it up, keeping it running? [16:48:50] maintaining it and using extensions [16:49:17] Makes sense. [16:49:22] But what about raw performance? [16:49:35] Regardless of maintenance. [16:50:04] not MW_dependend. you can google Postgres vs MySQL [16:52:48] svippy, unless your wiki is very large, the database performance should not be a big issue. [16:53:15] Is 1040 articles considered large, Simetrical? [16:53:16] svippy, for very large wikis, MySQL will certainly be better for MediaWiki, because MediaWiki with MySQL is heavily optimized for Wikipedia. [16:53:21] svippy, no. [16:53:25] I assumed so. [16:53:57] It's just that... my Wiki seems very slow. [16:54:09] And I cannot put my finger on which is the bottleneck, PHP or MySQL. [16:54:16] Almost certainly PHP. [16:54:51] !profiling [16:54:51] --mwbot-- For information on how to enable profiling for MediaWiki, see [16:55:11] try raising the memroy limit in LocalSettings, e.g. ini_set( 'memory_limit', '64M' ); [16:55:13] I have enabled profiling. [16:55:21] It didn't really reveal much. [16:55:33] I probably was unable to read it. o-o¬ [16:56:48] Simetrical: sooo, did you check the electoral map this morning? :DD [16:56:54] AaronSchulz, yes. [16:56:59] I was surprised by how close the popular vote was. [16:57:08] About as close as in 2000, wasn't it? [16:57:42] won't really say that is close [16:58:06] 46% - to 52% [16:58:26] AaronSchulz: NC ( the state I live in ) is sure taking their time counting those votes... [16:58:37] Simetrical: I fear that my wiki's database is somewhat of an older date, in that large portions of its data types haven't been updated since 1.6. Is there a script to convert old formatted MediaWiki databases to the current format? [16:58:42] AaronSchulz: http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/results/president/map.html [16:59:12] svippy, you need to run maintenance/update.php whenever you update. If you don't, the wiki won't work (you'll get database errors), not subtle. [16:59:24] troynt: Nevada was a bit of a surprise for me [16:59:24] AaronSchulz, hmm, we're using different sources then? [16:59:33] *AaronSchulz uses msnbc [16:59:38] anyone seen the electoral geography course from stanford? [16:59:38] No no, Simetrical, all the fields are there. [16:59:43] AaronSchulz, oh, they've changed in the last few hours. [16:59:49] I just fear that old fields still use their old types, Simetrical. [16:59:51] any county-by-county maps? [16:59:58] A while ago it was 50% to 49%, now CNN is reporting 52% to 46%. Not close, right. Okay, then. [17:00:03] AaronSchulz: Click county leaders on that map. [17:00:04] AaronSchulz: http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/results/president/map.html click on the state [17:00:05] svippy, that doesn't really make sense. [17:00:14] svippy, if it's working, everything is updated, basically. [17:00:21] Hm. [17:00:23] AaronSchulz: then zooms into county level [17:00:24] http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/results/president/map.html [17:00:28] Still seems somewhat slow, Simetrical. [17:00:34] AaronSchulz, apparently.. the county consistently shows the following pattern: in rich states rich go democrat, poor republican, in poor states rich republican, poor democrat :) [17:00:35] troynt: No need to zoom in. [17:00:42] svippy, I'll pretty much guarantee you that your slowdowns are due to the application, not the database. You can run profiling if you like to be sure. [17:00:47] hehe, columbus is a blue island [17:01:20] *AaronSchulz is there [17:03:03] *svippy is not. [17:03:40] *DragoonWraith had the option of voting in New York or Californa - neither of which actually would have made any difference [17:03:47] i know i repeat myself but could someone take a look at this extension code http://rafb.net/p/8OOhK291.html and check why the result only shows up in the edit view ABOVE the preview content? when i save the article it's not showing up. [17:03:53] *DragoonWraith did vote anyway [17:05:22] troynt: ahh, clicking "county leaders" is nice [17:20:19] as soon as i use $wgOut->addWikiText(<< and I get that UNIQ error [17:21:34] i'm trying for days already and am getting tired trying :( [17:33:54] Subfader: addWikiText outputs to UI, it doesn't save to anything [17:35:49] well, I try to make teh output the same as on a working special page: http://rafb.net/p/b13hto61.html [17:36:01] Subfader: $wgOut (OutputPage) only "Outputs as Page" so don't expect anything to stay [17:36:22] If it's part of some contents, you can use something inside the parser [17:36:31] The ParserCache is also a posibility [17:37:18] i made the output work so the file names are there in plain text. now i just need to put them in wiki markup [17:41:03] this way i get the plain file names http://rafb.net/p/4JUeB085.html [17:58:59] so how can make the parser output $buff .= sprintf('%s', $title->__toString(), $title->__toString(), $title->__toString()); include wikitext? e.g. [[File:%s]] [18:00:05] 03(mod) Enable FlaggedRevs custom configuration on en.wikibooks - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14618 +comment (10cbass) [18:15:36] ok no luck today either. i know i do sth majorly wrong but how should i learn... at least i try [18:15:43] brion: rarr, I wish I could do those bugs like 14618 [18:20:40] hi!

That's not right, is it? (AutoAuthenticate hook used to take a reference &$user.) [19:54:32] objects are always passed by ref in PHP5 [19:55:27] ah, got it, thanks! [19:55:29] but the main difference is that UserLoadFromSession is called from inside the User object, which was not the case for AutoAuthenticate [19:56:20] not following you on the latter part--how does that affect things? it's still the hook used by authentication plugins to fill out $wgUser, right? [19:57:43] iirc, this mean you can't replace the object, you'll need to call one of its method, e.g. setId() [19:59:01] alright, thanks.

[20:46:08] is it builtin, or it's downloadable as a separate extension? [20:47:06] insomniac: it's templates [20:47:25] ialex: can you give me more information, please? [20:47:49] I was searching for a news module, supporting a limited number of news items per page [20:47:58] insomniac: see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:MediaWiki_News [20:47:59] but that one, too, seems good for me [20:48:03] ialex: thanks [20:49:28] uh.. can't get how to make it work on my installation.. do you have more links to point me out?

[20:51:48] Duesentrieb: I'm sure about what you just said, but I can't get how to do that [20:51:54] insomniac: if you look at http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Template:MediaWiki_News&action=edit you can see that it's simply a list [20:52:45] Duesentrieb: yes, I saw that, but I thought that the news box in the home page was automatically generated [20:52:55] with the latest entries from that page [20:52:55] nope [20:52:59] nope [20:53:03] all done by hand.

[20:54:54] it relies on every item being a separate page though [20:55:36] generally, pages are the smallest entity mediawiki deals with. there are some extensions that try to extract sectiosn or some such, but that's generally faky [20:56:28] is it possible to extract all the level-2 titles? like ==my title== [20:56:38] in order to try to split news on that basis [20:56:56] maybe I can write a module that relies on that syntax [20:57:38] 03tparscal * r43224 10/trunk/extensions/ContributionStatistics/: Initial import.

[22:49:17] Splarka: i'm not up to the task for forking myself, i was merely interested if it has been discussed about. branching would allow git/svn style editing which could prove useful with big articles :-) [22:51:11] piksi: what might work better is sort of a 'for revisions earlier than this, see the revisions of [[Foo]] prior to #XXX' pointer in histories, via a special:fork command, or something? [22:51:59] maybe something like, if the first revision of a new article/page is #FORK [[Foo|123456]] [22:52:20] hmmm [22:53:01] I tried installing the WIkiChat extension and... "Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /opt/mediawiki-1.13.0rc1/w/phpfreechat-1.0-beta11/src/pfctools.php on line 156" [22:53:13] Splarka: yeah that might be good [22:53:13] line 156 of the extension contains "chmod($dest, $modefile);" [22:53:25] too strict permissions [22:53:43] php chmod not allowed for the dir you're trying to access perhaps? [22:55:12] Melos: known 'bug' in the extension, sometimes it helps to wait a few minutes and then null edit MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition [22:56:27] Splarka: Thank you very much [23:04:27] _mary_kate_, Did you get that PM I left you?
