[01:52:00] hiya. how do i enable links to the english wikipedia if i type something like [[w:WikiPage]]? [01:52:13] which would link to wikipedia's [[WikiPage]]? [01:52:57] wikipedia:Foo is built-in to the software. [01:53:11] really? [01:53:26] it gives a red link when i do that, saying "article w:WikiPage has not been created yet" [01:53:53] [[wikipedia:Foo]] [01:53:53] !upload [01:53:53] --mwbot-- File uploads are disabled per default, set $wgEnableUploads=true to enable it. See for configuration details, and for using uploaded images and other files. [02:04:57] How does wikipedia have dynamic, updating/changing content on its front page? [02:05:13] <_mary_kate_> by having lots of people to edit it when it needs changing [02:05:16] i'd like to have "random article of the day" or "random image of the day" [02:06:23] !template [02:06:23] --mwbot-- For more information about templates, see .

[02:07:46] i have parser functions installed [02:07:56] don't mind me, I'm just trying random commands [02:07:59] !help [02:07:59] --mwbot-- Hi! I'm mwbot, a bot that was quickly whipped up by Daniel Cannon (AmiDaniel) to help out around #mediawiki. Some quick help is at < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mwbot >, you can find all my source code at < http://amidaniel.com/viewvc/trunk/MWBot/?root=svn >.

[02:08:31] ah, works on pm too ? :o [02:08:38] Yep. :-) [02:24:00] hi [02:50:28] Hello, does anyone know where if there is a link to how to set up a MediaWiki Sister Project? [02:50:51] silly2: mediawiki or wikimedia? [02:51:24] Wikimedia is the foundation that runs wikipedia, wiktionary, etc, wheras mediawiki is the software that the site uses, and anyone can use, to run their own wiki [02:51:41] I have my multi-language wiki setup with all interwiki links working fine, now I want to interwiki link to another domain [02:52:31] it is my personal wiki [02:52:40] oh, amidaniel wrote mwbot ? [02:53:00] silly2: as in [[wp:Some Page]] for Wikipedia? [02:53:01] *Prodego pats amidaniel's bot in remembrance [02:53:19] Now I have two projects on two seperate domains. YES EXACTLY [02:54:17] *qsheets sets it up manually in th db [02:54:20] !e Interwiki [02:54:20] --mwbot-- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Interwiki [02:54:24] Install that. [02:55:12] Ok Thanks, is this the same extension Wikipedia uses (Silly question) but thats why they call me silly [02:55:29] Wikipedia does it manually. [02:55:34] The extension makes it much easier. [02:57:38] grrr... [02:57:46] *qsheets has too much due tomorrow [02:57:50] I can do it manually much eaiser than installing this. I just need to know the code to enter into the iw_prefix field [02:59:19] silly2: it's up to you [02:59:37] ...just pick one that isn't being used [03:00:07] On all my wiki languages portals on the first domain it is just "es" or "en" or "de" but what to I add to link it across to another domain name? [03:01:39] ?? [03:02:16] ok i think you are right it dosent matter as long as the iw_url is linking across to the other domain. Right?? [03:02:30] right [03:06:29] ok can you suggest what should i use if I have the other/second domain in other languages as well as the first? or does this matter. Cause [[n:]] links to wikinews but from the English Wikipedia to the English Wikinews site, if you get what I'm saying.. [03:08:33] I guess it dosent matter? I can't think streight [03:09:22] Because why would I want to link from the English 1st domain to the Spanish 2nd domain? [03:12:54] Ok it works, THANKS!! but the domain shows in the link on the article, is there anyway to only show the interwiki link and not the domain? [03:18:59] nope its going to show the domain unless you add the |articlename after, Wikipedia works this way to [[wikinews:articlename|articlename]] is how it should be. Thanks again!

[08:52:37] thanks for you're help [08:52:37] hmm [08:52:41] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgLanguageCode [08:54:35] Hi, I've got a strange error in this special page : http://eng.anarchopedia.org/Special:ProtectedPages [08:54:38] http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Group_statistics NL is listed as 100% for all core and extensions [09:02:04] Splarka, i changed the variable, but still not everything is translated.. [09:02:31] running 1.13? [09:02:55] 1.13.2, yes [09:03:48] i can't run script from the command line.. [09:04:04] well, you could grab the newer translations from trunk [09:04:13] http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/MessagesNl.php?view=co&content-type=text%2Fplain [09:04:21] don't replace your MessagesNl.php with that though, some have been removed [09:06:37] No idea ? [09:09:38] Splarka: bad [09:12:13] Splarka: http://translatewiki.net/mediawiki/ [09:13:31] 1.12? [09:15:07] Splarka: yes, none have been made for 1.13 [09:18:16] Nikerabbit: okay... [09:18:25] but > Statistics are based on: 1.14alpha (r43269) at http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Group_statistics [09:18:39] doesn't that mean http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/MessagesNl.php?view=co&content-type=text%2Fplain then is more complete for a 1.13 than a 1.12 pack? [09:18:57] (if manually merged of course, since messages get removed) [09:19:28] Dutch should be complete for 1.13.2. I'll look into it. [09:20:15] I wonder where they see English then [09:20:52] Last backport for 1.13 was in r41538, just before tagging. [09:21:56] No Dutch messages were removed in that update. GOing to check in more detail now [09:22:22] odd [09:22:40] maybe tumie had some custom ones already (but sounded like a new install) [09:24:20] see http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Statistics/1.13 [09:24:41] That's a definite 100% for Dutch. [09:25:09] then he was hallucinating, legalization of too many drugs! [09:25:24] "Dude, I speak four language and can't tell them apart" [09:25:29] [09:26:23] ;) [09:26:30] serialisation issue? [09:27:20] I've seen that on Wikimedia wikis before: they update the messages file, but do not update the erialised version, so the old version is still being used. [09:27:30] at least that was the case for special page aliases. [09:28:08] well [09:28:08] [20:33:10] hi guys, i've a problemm, i can't write into the /config dictory, and also can't make it writable.. are their other ways to install mediawiki ? [09:28:17] that was yesterday, so I am thinking this is a very very new install [09:28:29] all he did, I think, was change the content language a few hours ago [09:29:14] well, hours ago... 26 minutes ago ^_^ [10:49:30] I'm trying to add a another table to my Main Page but upon resizing the browser the table shifts to a funny location, can anyone help with this? http://bahaikipedia.org/User:David/sandbox2 [11:09:16] *werdnus waves. [11:09:34] Is there a way to make an item on a page visible to only users that are in a group? I can't see a way to do it. I want to maintain a page that contains information about all the various web hosting account we have but only shows the passwords to certain users. [11:10:04] !secrets | stetho [11:10:04] --mwbot-- stetho: MediaWiki was not designed with read-restrictions in mind, and may not provide air-tight protection against unauthorized access. We will not be held responsible should private information, such as a password or bank details, be leaked, leading to loss of funds or one's job. [11:11:48] Shame. I'll see if I can achieve something similar with htaccess. Thanks [11:12:22] stetho: htaccess is a very bad idea. [11:12:38] stetho: there is more than one URL that can be used to access a page. [11:23:04] 03btongminh * r43274 10/trunk/extensions/NssMySQLAuth/ (NssMySQLAuth.i18n.php SpecialAccountManager.php): [11:23:04] * Add a don't send mail checkbox [11:23:04] * Fix some issues with properties not updating [11:31:07] I have mediawiki 1.13. I would like to use #if statement. I don't know whether Parser function is installed? how can I check it? [11:45:02] Hi! Does anyone here know of an extension which will allow me to make a publicly accessible wiki private based on IP address? e.g. I want all people who access it from one particular IP address to not have to log in, but all other users to be forced to log in before viewing or editing. I've had a look, but can only see blocklist-type extensions. [11:46:47] I had thought about creating a very basic PHP script to check on the IP and then either direct people to the login screen if they don't have the right IP, or to let them in if they have. The downfall there is that if someone accesses the wiki pages directly then they'll get in to everything! (i.e., bypassing the IP checker) [11:51:12] PublicCat comes close, but keeps the site private once logged in instead of opening it up - afaik. [12:05:07] Wiiki: You can do something like this in an extension, but be wary of read restrictions. [12:13:45] Is there a way to tell formatnum "not to" use a thousands delimiter? [12:15:12] can someone help me with a bug please ? [12:15:48] Ceridwen: may be I can. Go on [12:16:32] http://kokoro.no.koe.free.fr/mediawiki/index.php/Accueil [12:17:23] Ceridwen: and what is on line 513? [12:17:31] $wgEnableUploads [12:17:41] Paste the line and some lines before and after it on rafb.net/paste/ [12:17:58] $wgEnableUploads = true; [12:18:02] $wgEnableUploads = false; [12:18:37] I changed that [12:18:46] but i'm not sure it's line 513 [12:19:22] As I said, please paste that line and a few lines before and after it on http://rafb.net/paste/ and then paste the link here for me [12:19:54] ah ! few lines before sorry [12:20:01] ok sorry [12:20:07] i'm waking up XD [12:21:20] http://rafb.net/p/xkT4pc93.html [12:21:38] i didn't know this website it's useful [12:22:27] werdnus: What do you mean about read restrictions? What I'd like to achieve would be that anyone who does not have a particular IP is forced to log in before they can do anything, but those who are getting to the wiki from the work IP don't need to log in (unless editing). [12:23:15] Hojjat > maybe it's a problem with the server ? [12:29:52] Wiiki: yes, that should be doable in an extension. [12:31:27] Hmmm.. now for the fun of making it! [12:31:32] Ceridwen: may be.. but unlikely. Did you change your DefaultSettings.php manually? [12:31:46] Wiiki: look at the UserGetRights hook [12:31:51] yes [12:31:57] you shouldn't [12:32:04] I suggest you revert it to its original version [12:32:04] ah [12:32:08] ok [12:32:11] i do it first [12:32:16] you should move your changes into LocalSettings.php [12:32:27] then, you should apply all changes to LocalSettings.php [12:32:33] Cheers for the tip, werdnus :) [12:32:41] done ! [12:33:03] ok now how can I change this code to allow upload ? [12:34:05] go to you LocalSettins.php [12:34:16] how ? [12:34:19] then add $wgEnableUploads = true; to the end ofit [12:34:20] with url ? [12:34:34] Ceridwen: your DefaultSettings.php is in /includes/ [12:34:44] on my computer ? [12:34:47] but your LocalSettings.php is in your / [12:34:51] (one folder "up" from includes folder) [12:34:58] on the server [12:35:01] oh [12:35:03] ok wait [12:35:34] http://kokoro.no.koe.free.fr/mediawiki/index.php/Accueil means you haven't fixed DefaultSettings.php on your server [12:35:36] !parserfunctions | sphenxes01 [12:35:36] --mwbot-- sphenxes01: "Parser functions" are a way to extend the wiki syntax.

[12:38:01] ah ? [12:38:03] What you do need to do is put the settings you want in LocalSettings.php [12:38:09] yes [12:38:19] Do you have FTP or shell access to that server? [12:38:30] Through one of those, you can modify the LocalSettings.php file [12:38:34] I have ftp yes [12:38:39] but access I'm not sure [12:38:45] yes [12:38:53] FTP will let you download the LocalSettings.php file [12:39:04] You can then modify your downloaded copy and upload it again [12:39:06] I modified manually DefaultSettings.php and up it with ftp [12:39:13] Right. [12:39:18] yes i did that [12:39:28] but I had lot of errors after that [12:39:33] You need to do the same with LocalSettings.php, adding $wgEnableUploads = true; to the *bottom* of the file [12:39:42] ok [12:39:46] just added in the end [12:39:53] I try it now [12:40:35] is there an extension to modify cookies sent? currently I have the wiki authenticating using the phpbb3 database, but I want the cookies between the two to match [12:40:57] There might be some phpbb/MW integration code hanging around. [12:41:01] I would be suprised if there wasn't/ [12:41:14] RoanKattouw http://kokoro.no.koe.free.fr/mediawiki/index.php/Special:T%C3%A9l%C3%A9chargement [12:41:29] Hmm [12:41:59] werdnus, like i said I got the extension so MW can authenticate using the phpbb3 database, but I'm trying to modify the cookies so the session will match [12:42:09] RoanKattouw maybe I can just allow external images, it'll be more simple ? [12:42:14] You did upload LocalSettings.php right? Also check that you uploaded it to (and downloaded it from) the right place [12:42:28] yes I clicked : overwrite [12:42:45] Right. In which directory did you upload it? [12:42:53] includes [12:42:59] Ah that's it [12:43:07] ah ? [12:43:08] You need to upload it to the directory above includes [12:43:18] ePhilips: You will need to modify the extension. [12:43:24] The directory that also has index.php and api.php [12:43:33] ah ? [12:43:36] in mediawiki ? [12:43:38] The parent directory of includes, so to say [12:43:48] ooooooh [12:43:50] ok wait [12:44:46] werdnus, ah so it's in there...thanks [12:44:47] mmmh [12:44:51] didn't work also [12:44:52] http://kokoro.no.koe.free.fr/mediawiki/index.php/Special:T%C3%A9l%C3%A9chargement [12:45:27] You did add it to the bottom of the file, spelled it right, overwrote the file, all that? [12:45:33] but there isn't "localsettings.php" in the main file [12:45:42] I paste yours [12:46:04] $wgEnableUploads = true; [12:46:07] Well there should be a LocalSettings.php (capitals matter) in the top directory [12:46:10] in the end of .php [12:46:28] there isn't [12:46:35] now there is with the one I added [12:46:41] but before no [12:47:05] Does that mean you added all your database settings and stuff to DefaultSettings.php? [12:47:10] yes [12:47:15] :O [12:47:23] in the file I used .tg) [12:47:28] there's install-utils.inc [12:47:31] and after [12:47:38] There should be a config/LocalSettings.php though, move that to the top directory [12:47:39] Makefile [12:48:03] I remove the one in includes ? [12:48:11] Doesn't matter [12:48:13] ok [12:48:36] http://kokoro.no.koe.free.fr/mediawiki/index.php/Accueil [12:48:38] hum :s [12:48:46] Hey but wait, you mentioned a Makefile. Did you download MediaWiki from another source than MediaWiki.org? [12:49:06] Looks like includes/DefaultSettings.php has disappeared [12:49:15] http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.13/ [12:49:25] Hmm [12:49:25] I downloaded it there [12:49:27] OK [12:49:32] the last version [12:49:39] You need to have both the DefaultSettings.php *and* the LocalSettings.php files [12:49:54] You seem to have deleted or renamed DefaultSettings.ph [12:49:56] p [12:50:17] wait [12:50:29] I have to past $wgEnableUploads = true; [12:50:31] Oh it's back [12:50:34] ine local or default ? [12:50:41] -e [12:50:42] LocalSettings, near the bottom [12:50:49] ok [12:50:52] I did right [12:51:08] but there isn't localsettings in main file [12:51:15] You should put *all* the settings you changed in LocalSettings. You can put stuff in DefaultSettings and it'll work, but it'll get overwritten on upgrade [12:51:23] (I have reup localsettings in inculdes) [12:51:25] Ceridwen: There is a LocalSettings.php in the mediawiki directory [12:51:33] That's the one you need [12:51:39] there isn't [12:51:42] (the directory index.php is in) [12:51:43] just the one I added [12:51:48] The error message said there was [12:51:53] I'm looking in the compress file [12:52:01] No it's not there [12:52:19] The configuration creates config/LocalSettings.php which you're supposed to move to the mediawiki directory [12:52:42] in config ? [12:52:48] Yes [12:52:48] not in the main file ? [12:53:02] It creates it in config/ and you're supposed to move it to the main directory yourself [12:53:25] mmmh wait [12:53:43] ok... [12:54:12] is this file created with the installation ? [12:54:25] Yes, so it's not in the .tgz file [12:54:28] ok... [12:54:34] A2 make me delete it [12:54:40] =____= [12:55:07] he saids that i don't need it anymore [12:55:18] raaaaaah [12:55:43] What you could do is: [12:56:00] * Delete, move or rename your LocalSettings.php (this'll make your wiki unusable) [12:56:09] * Go to http://kokoro.no.koe.free.fr/mediawiki/config/ [12:56:25] * Go through the whole setup procedure again (this won't destroy any data) [12:56:34] * Move config/LocalSettings.php to the main directory [12:56:38] 'cause it's the first time I install a mediawiki and A2 help me to do this and he saids i have to remove it after installation [12:57:04] You do have to remove the config/ directory after installation, but only after you've moved LocalSettings.php a directory up [12:57:14] Did this guy also tell you to modify DefaultSettings.php? [12:57:31] no [12:57:35] OK [12:57:50] I have to reinstall mw ? [12:57:54] Sort of [12:58:03] no other solution ? [12:58:12] You have to run the installer again. That won't actually reinstall anything, but it'll create a new LocalSettings.php for you [12:58:27] how can I do this ? [12:58:36] I have to reup all files on the ftp ? [12:59:32] No [12:59:41] See the four *s above [12:59:57] I'm going on http://kokoro.no.koe.free.fr/mediawiki/config/ [13:00:09] but it said my wiki was configured [13:00:18] Yes, that's because it sees LocalSettings.php [13:00:35] You have to rename it so the config wizard doesn't see it anymore and thinks your wiki is not configured [13:00:44] oh I remove locasettings from main file before ? [13:00:52] I'd rename it to be safe [13:01:02] LocalSettings.php.old for example [13:01:17] I have it on my computer [13:01:46] You need to rename it on the server, through FTP [13:01:57] Or just delete it, if you still have a copy on your computer [13:01:59] That'd be safe [13:02:38] ok it works [13:02:43] I reinstall it [13:06:00] ok ! [13:06:31] I can see it worked [13:06:51] Now you have to put all your settings in LocalSettings.php . Short URLs don't work anymore, for instance [13:07:02] And $wgEnableUploads = true; , of course [13:07:30] ok but in the localsettings in the main file or in includes ? [13:07:37] In the main directory [13:07:39] ok [13:08:02] You need to put *all* your settings in mediawiki/LocalSettings.php . Putting settings elsewhere *might* work, but they'll be destroyed when you upgrade [13:08:20] ok [13:08:28] I have an other setting to add after [13:08:29] wait [13:09:26] http://kokoro.no.koe.free.fr/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:T%C3%A9l%C3%A9chargement ---> IT WORKS! [13:09:41] "Vous devez être connecté pour envoyer des fichiers sur le serveur. " is what I get [13:09:52] ok [13:10:06] Which, according to me, translates to something like "You have to be logged in to be able to upload files to the server" [13:10:15] but if I want be the only one to modify the wiki [13:10:25] how do I change this ? [13:10:33] You want to be the only one who can edit pages? [13:10:58] yes, if I want everybody change my texts, I can go on wikipedia [13:11:01] Hi. I've installed mediawiki with a local copy of the french wikipedia. [13:11:08] :p [13:11:12] $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; [13:11:19] $wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false; [13:11:25] $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['edit'] = true; [13:11:33] I add this in the localsettings in main or in includes ? [13:11:35] I still have some red links. All articles in the namespace Wikipedia are red, but actually, they are present in my database [13:11:48] What this means is: anonymous users can't edit; registered users can't edit; only sysops can edit [13:11:56] yes [13:11:59] I did it already [13:12:06] Ceridwen: In the main LocalSettings.php . That's where all your settings go [13:12:07] I tried to add the namespace with wgExtraNamespace [13:12:10] but I changed it in the localsettings in includes [13:12:34] maybe this time it's not like this [13:12:35] ok [13:12:35] I add this in the main localsettings [13:12:36] bloubs: You need to change the name of your wiki ($wgSitename) to Wikipedia [13:12:41] last time I changed it in includes [13:12:47] That probably won't work [13:13:03] mediawiki/LocalSettings.php is the only file that's guaranteed to work and to not be overwritten on upgrade [13:13:21] ok ! It's understood now ^^ [13:13:24] :P [13:14:19] Ceridwen: You might wanna do the same thing for uploads, if you don't want registered users to upload stuff [13:14:47] Ceridwen: More information about setting up uploads is at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads [13:14:54] I hope that's enough help, I gotta go now [13:15:21] oh I did $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = false; [13:16:03] thank you sooooooooooooooo much ! [13:16:05] Thank you RoanKattouw !!! That's it [13:16:52] I've miss university XD [13:20:12] But now, I have another problem... Some templates are not recognized. Typically, I always have this kind of text : "Modèle:/Documentation" in red [13:20:37] It seems that all templates like "Modèle:/blah" are not recognized [13:22:12] he's gone [13:23:20] does CodeReview not update automatically? [13:23:24] (local installation) [13:23:34] do I need to run svnImport in cron? [13:24:12] Bryan > i tried to up a image but it saids it's disabbled to create file "public/archive" [13:24:21] can I create it manually ? [13:24:39] probably [13:24:53] in the main file right ? [13:24:59] you are using something like safe mode, uploading is likely to break at random [13:25:42] yes it works [13:25:54] http://kokoro.no.koe.free.fr/mediawiki/index.php?title=Image:Seppuku.jpg [13:28:17] thanks [13:41:35] hi [13:41:54] where I can find some documentation to "fullurl"? [13:43:26] Juandev: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Parser_function#URLs_etc. [13:44:15] str4nd: ah, thank you! [13:44:56] yw [13:50:14] I made myself a MediaWiki cheat sheet for coding. [13:50:21] Only problem is, it's 59 pages long :/ [13:58:56] 59 pages? sounds like the start of a small book, rather than a cheet sheet [13:58:57] 03(mod) Provide preference-based autoformatting for unlinked dates - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4582 (10ashtongj) [14:07:01] I'd like to upgrade my mediawiki [14:07:41] !upgrade [14:07:41] --mwbot-- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading [14:07:47] is it safe to just remove the old one and redo the install process with a new version ? [14:08:07] depends on what you "remove". [14:08:09] I mean, if my database is already full, is it possible ? [14:08:14] in any case, make a backup first [14:08:20] just the mediawiki directory [14:08:39] ok, I wanted to avoid the backup, because it will take a while [14:08:42] bloubs: yes, the database will be updated, content is kept. but if you remove the entire directory, you lose your uploads. [14:08:46] read the manual [14:08:55] NEVER "avoid" the backup [14:08:59] I don't have any uploads [14:09:12] good for you [14:09:12] I'm working on a frozen dump of the wikipédia [14:09:14] make a backup [14:09:46] well, if there's none of your own data in there, only what you imported, then you already have a backup, no? [14:09:46] ok, I'll make it [14:09:56] sure [14:10:04] the wikipedia dump [14:10:19] you're right [14:10:39] I don't have to worry about that [14:11:13] is it possible to have two versions of mediawiki at the same time ? [14:11:18] of course. [14:11:23] oh really [14:11:25] great [14:11:29] I could do that [14:11:37] install a new version [14:11:37] not with same database, though... [14:11:40] not using the same database though [14:11:43] yea :) [14:11:43] oh... [14:11:57] I need to use the same database actually [14:12:40] I don't know if the new version of mediawiki will fix my problems [14:13:14] Maybe I should try [14:13:50] is there often problems upgrading mediawiki ? [14:14:11] usually not, no. [14:14:43] ok, so... maybe I would better try to use the 1.13 version [14:14:53] let's go for it :) [14:19:38] in the manual, they mention /path/to/your/wiki/ and actually, I'm not sure about what it means. Is it my old mediawiki directory ? [14:21:22] yes. [14:21:38] ok, perfect [14:21:46] thank you so much duesentrieb [14:23:53] I don't have any AdminSettings.php file [14:24:11] !adminsettings [14:24:11] --mwbot-- AdminSettings.php is an additional configuration file for use with command line maintenance scripts. See AdminSettings.sample in your installation directory for details. [14:24:42] Hello, I'm trying to install MediaWiki on a Linux machine and was wondering how I set up my database from PuTTy and then run the install script [14:25:39] JMcIvor: if you have the database's root password, you don't need to create the db. the installer will do it. [14:26:07] where would I find the install script? [14:28:26] is it called install-utils.inc? [14:30:58] JMcIvor: no, it's web based. [14:31:16] JMcIvor: simply visit your site with a web browser and follow the instructions [14:31:27] JMcIvor: shell access is good to have, but not needed for installation [14:32:23] I'm getting an "Object not found!" Error [14:32:26] Is it normal that no files has changed in my mediawiki-1.12.0 directory after the "tar xvfz mediawiki-1.13.2.tar.gz -C mediawiki-1.12.0 --strip-components=1" command ? [14:33:32] bloubs: no. [14:33:41] the command looks to work well (I have the list of the files that I want to extract) but it is written mediawiki-1.13.2 directory and actually, this directory is not created [14:33:45] JMcIvor: you are looking in the wrong place, then [14:33:49] maybe I missed something [14:34:08] bloubs: maybe it'S written to the wrong place [14:36:03] but if I believe the manual, I don"t need anything else than precising the current mediawiki path [14:36:57] When untarring a tarball package normally a new directory for the new wiki version will be created and you will have to copy the new files and directories to your current wiki directory. The way to do this in one go [14:37:12] no new directory provided [14:40:35] ok, actually, the files are modified. Just the last modified date is the one recorded when the archive has been created. I thought that I would have all untar files with a today last modified date [14:49:29] is it possible to make article titles case insensitive with some SQL setting or so? [14:49:52] ok... so I have my MediaWiki.tar.gz unzipped and moved to /home/db2wiki/public_html. I configured apache to listen on port 8080 and created a virtual host for port 8080 to point to the server and the DocumentRoot is set to the path from above... how the heck do I find this thing through my web browser? [14:51:13] http://localhost:8080/path-to-your-wiki/ ? [14:51:47] its not local is on a remote linux machine [14:52:01] Hi gang, MediaWiki newbie here, just a quick question: I've written an extension that displays 'featured user' information; I'm wondering if it's possible to set/retrieve those variables within WikiText? Is there an extension (or technique) for retrieving PHP variables inside WikiText? [14:52:58] JMcIvor: well then change it with the remote address ... [14:53:11] Guest77092: you will need to create a tag extension [14:53:14] !tag extension [14:53:14] --mwbot-- {{#tag:...}} is a way to allow parameter expansion in tag hooks. Since MW 1.12 it's builtin into Mediawiki, and versions before that must use http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TagParser to enable the functionallity. [14:53:19] neh [14:53:28] !tagextension [14:53:28] --mwbot-- I don't know anything about "tagextension". [14:53:31] extension (or technique) for retrieving PHP variables inside WikiText? <- createa magic word ? [14:53:37] !extension [14:53:37] --mwbot-- MediaWiki has been built so it can easily be customized by adding extensions. This is usually a simple process. See for instructions to install extensions, as well as for writing them. See for an overview of known extensions. [14:53:53] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Tag_extensions [14:54:20] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Parser_functions [14:54:59] Bryan: Many thanks for the advice. Will check it out. :-) [14:55:24] ok... now all it says is "It Works!" on the page [14:55:45] Thanks guys - very helpful. Will check 'em out. :-) [14:55:57] Guest77092: there is also an extension that allows you to embed raw php ... but that is a little scary [14:56:32] Bryan: why is that scary? [14:56:44] So why would it say "It Works!" when I'm trying to do the install scripts [14:56:58] Bryan: Ooh, scary is just up my aisle. Any guess on the name? [14:57:22] (It will only be used on a non-editable frontpage) :-) [14:57:41] !html [14:57:41] --mwbot-- For allowing any and all HTML, see . This is of course VERY DANGEROUS. Safer options include , and . [14:57:47] Guest77092: ---^ [14:58:10] JMcIvor - "It Works!" is the default page for a fresh Apache install. :-) [14:59:24] *nods* Cheers...and kudos to the chatgroup; impressively helpful. :-) [15:00:00] ok.. at least thats somewhat a good sign. Now how would I go about installing MediaWiki from here? Sorry if these questions are dumb, I'm a total Linux/MediaWiki Newbie [15:00:50] JMcIvor: that depends on which virtual path you installed mediawiki [15:01:05] JMcIvor: it sounds like your questions are mostly related to setting up apache [15:02:01] Apache was already set up on the linux box [15:02:45] JMcIvor: What Linux distribution you running? (Ubuntu?) [15:02:51] SUSE [15:04:34] JMcIvor: well, if you DocumentRoot points to /foo/bar, and your wiki is installed in /foo/bar/wiki, you would contact it as http://whatever/wiki [15:04:39] that should bring up the installer [15:04:49] don't put the wiki into the document root directly, by the way. [15:04:53] always use a subdirectory. [15:05:03] Ahh - only mildly familiar with SUSE. Not sure if it comes with PHP & MySQL as well, but you'll need them. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/susenovell-60/lamp-setup-on-suse-10.0-398697/ [15:05:22] yes, of course. php and mysql are needed. [15:05:26] PHP, MySQL and Apache are all set up [15:06:55] From all the help files I've been pouring over I should be able to put http://serverName/wikiName and it should work [15:07:08] but I keep getting an Object Not Found error [15:07:09] After that, it should be a case of: [15:07:18] 1.) Extracting the package to your web directory [15:07:22] done [15:08:00] i have the package located in /home/..../public_html/wikiName [15:09:16] 03(NEW) Several problems with styles for thumbnails (thumb) in PageCSS - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16272 major; normal; MediaWiki: Page editing; (STyx) [15:11:15] (grin) Sorry if this has been covered - I came late to the conversation [15:11:15] 2.) Setting up a MySQL db [15:11:15] 3.) Editing LocalSettings.php with your DB Name, username, password & path [15:11:15] And, as far as I can think (and my 1 humble install), it should be done. :-) [15:11:56] LocalSettings.php only comes around after the install scripts are run, correct? [15:12:12] yes [15:12:42] which for some reason I just can't get to [15:13:58] Hmm...wikiName comes up when you type 'ls /home/..../public_html/' in terminal? [15:14:58] of course [15:15:17] where is the setting for where the USERLogin is directed. I'm trying to log in through a different interface, not the mediawiki login page [15:16:08] hhmmm... There are 4 other wikis located on the same box here and when I do the serverName/wikiName none of them work. When I put only the sever name it directs it to the Main wiki in use. Could this have something to do with me not finding the one I want? [15:32:02] I want to immediately have the UserLogin form on the "You need to login to view pages" message [15:32:10] is there a sane way to do that? [15:32:39] (setting MediaWiki:loginreqpagetext to the Special:UserLogin code is not) [15:35:06] I could subclass OutputPage [15:35:53] or is there a way to dynamically alter the return value of wfMsgGetKey? [15:37:40] a hook to BeforePageDisplay and checking on $wTitle->userCanRed() looks the most sensible way [15:46:52] hello [15:50:16] hello world [15:52:41] there exists a patch for the version 1.13.2 right D editor? ? [15:53:45] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Page_access_restriction#Get_the_patch <=== need patch for version 1.13.2 ? [16:02:10] how do I redirect the login page (ndex.php?title=Special:UserLogin) to an alternate login page? [16:05:24] use the hook SpecialPage_initList to redirect SpecialUserlogin to an other special page that performs the redirection [16:06:13] bryan, thanks [16:12:00] Hello. [16:12:08] hi [16:13:28] I've tried to install MediaWiki on my bought hosting, but it shows error: PHP 5.0.x is buggy on your 64-bit system; you must upgrade to PHP 5.1.x or higher. ABORTING. (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34879 for details) my php5 version is: http://php.blink.pl/info.php5 What's wrong and how to solve it? [16:16:09] Is here anyone that could help me? [16:18:07] how is it possible, that a spamer can cloak his ip adress? Checkuser doesn't work for spam accounts. I can't block this spamer. Mediawiki 1.10.0 [16:18:59] bryan, what happens if I want to redirect to a link outside of the wiki, not a wiki page? [16:19:11] vonHalenbach, what do you mean, cloaking his ip adress ? [16:19:14] need speack french ? [16:20:16] DarkoNeko: I press on the button "get ip" and get "No results. " [16:20:39] it does that for all accounts ? [16:20:43] try on your [16:20:53] if so, there's a problem with the extension [16:21:05] anyone have solvation on my problem? :(( [16:21:06] On my account name i get my ip adresses. [16:21:16] also, only account having edited at least one have a logged ip [16:21:22] once* [16:21:35] ...I think [16:22:55] this spammer uses always the same name scheme. Alan2100 David2100 Edward2100 [16:23:13] there's an username blacklist [16:23:20] (well ,depend of your MW version) [16:23:33] how can i sarch for all users with 2100 in the name? [16:23:40] *2100 ? [16:23:44] okay [16:23:45] sql query ? [16:23:56] darasPL: I think you should do what it says [16:24:06] it seems pretty clear already [16:24:19] TimStarling: I dont have access to server [16:24:37] TimStarling: and look on phpinfo it says 5.2.0 :/ [16:24:39] I'm not your secretary [16:24:45] I got a [[MediaWiki:Blacklistedusername]] on MW's current version [16:24:53] email your provider [16:25:15] I think we need to update. Thank you! [16:25:25] 're welcome : [16:25:26] :) [16:25:48] I've done it and they shown me this: http://php.blink.pl/info.php5 [16:26:02] PHP Version 5.2.0-8+etch10 [16:26:18] Hi all. I have a problem with the templates interpretation (with my local copy of the french wikipedia) [16:26:34] you're missing the parserfunction extension [16:26:41] DarkoNeko: maybe you could help? [16:26:57] when the code {{/Documentation}} is present in the template page [16:27:28] darasPL sorry, I don't know what problem is [16:27:45] the "Template:Mytemplate/Documentation" page is misinterpreted : I got a Template:/Documentation red link [16:27:47] bloubs or maybe, the subpage systeme isn't enabled for template: [16:27:51] http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Special:Search?ns2=1&ns3=1&search=2100&searchx=Suche [16:27:57] yeah, that's it [16:27:58] I've tried to install MediaWiki on my bought hosting, but it shows error: PHP 5.0.x is buggy on your 64-bit system; you must upgrade to PHP 5.1.x or higher. ABORTING. (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34879 for details) my php5 version is: http://php.blink.pl/info.php5 (mu php5 version -> 5.2.0) What's wrong and how to solve it? [16:28:05] !subpages [16:28:05] --mwbot-- By default some namespaces have subpages enabled and others don't. You can enable or disable them using $wgNamespacesWithSubpages in LocalSettings.php. [16:28:21] darasPL then that's a php problem, not a mediawiki one [16:28:59] darasPL: what's the URL of your wiki? [16:29:03] thanks darkoneko I know where to take a look now [16:29:10] ^^ [16:29:34] TimStarling: http://pwszis.info/wiki [16:29:55] 03(mod) Install hanp extension parser function on Korean Wikipedia - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13712 (10camway) [16:30:04] darasPL like I said, we can't help if it's a php related problem [16:30:19] Damn it. [16:30:27] Ok, thanks for trying ^^ [16:30:32] ok, that's a bug [16:30:46] DarkoNeko: I think we can help [16:30:49] ah [16:30:54] then by all means, go ahead :) [16:30:58] bloubs: Did you solve the Template/Modèle bug yet? [16:31:21] 03(mod) Install hanp extension parser function on Korean Wikipedia - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13712 (10siebrand) [16:31:26] For now, I'm upgrading my mediawiki version [16:31:57] but according to DarkoNeko, I'm reading the subpages manual and I guess I just need to add $wgNamespacesWithSubpages = array_fill(0, 200, true); [16:32:03] DarkoNeko!!!!! je t'aaaaaaaaaaaime !

[16:32:48] -our+your [16:32:50] Ceridwen meow ? [16:32:54] oh DarkoNeko, RoanKattouw, I've let a little message for you on my main page http://kokoro.no.koe.free.fr/mediawiki/index.php?title=Accueil [16:33:05] DarkoNeko > mreow =^.^= [16:33:19] aw, tu pourrais au moins mettre lien vers mon blog dans le pseudo, alors :D [16:33:23] [16:33:37] j'le mettrai en partenaire stu veux, on n'aura qu'� faire un �change de liens :p [16:33:41] lol [16:33:46] bahkwa ! [16:33:55] mais je croyais que t'avais arr�t� [16:33:55] (let's stop the off topic) [16:33:57] Maybe I don't need to upgrade MW, but I already started to do it. It's upgrading my database for now [16:34:50] Right. It's never a bad idea to upgrade, though [16:35:49] darasPL: the bug is that it's telling you you're running 5.0.x when you're actually running 4.4.4 [16:36:02] you need to use index.php5 instead of index.php [16:36:14] uuh [16:36:22] darasPL: http://pwszis.info/wiki/config/index.php5 [16:36:28] works :D [16:36:34] there's both of php engines on his server, then [16:36:49] you might need to change your default directory index [16:36:57] since /wiki/ is sending you to the wrong place [16:39:07] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Backup page talks about backing up and using --default-character-set=latin1 on mysqldump. Is this required if mediawiki is running with the mysql 4/5 utf8 as binary mode ? [16:39:15] <_mary_kate_> exobuzz: yes [16:39:25] <_mary_kate_> exobuzz: the only time it wouldn't be required is with the experimental utf-8 schema [16:39:50] what specifically can be corrupted. ive backed up and restored a few times, and havnt noticed any problems. [16:40:01] <_mary_kate_> exobuzz: utf-8 characters [16:40:12] well.. my utf-8 data is fine [16:40:33] stuff like ³² and so characters have not been affected [16:41:07] <_mary_kate_> it might only happen with certain combinations of mysql client and server versions or settings [16:41:36] <_mary_kate_> but it should be safe to use in any case [16:41:54] this is all very vague as is the documentation on that page. i read some more on a mailinglist, which mentioned only some charcters might be affected [16:42:35] but if the utf-8 data is in binary fields, mysqldump should not touch them anyway surely ? [16:44:19] TimStarling: YEAH! Ive done it. I owe you a budweisser :D [16:46:58] is it possible to make article titles case insensitive with some SQL setting or so? [16:48:45] lch: There's a config variable. [16:48:53] !lowercase [16:48:53] --mwbot-- I don't know anything about "lowercase". [16:48:59] Well, you should, mwbot. [16:49:03] heh [16:49:12] !defaultsettings [16:49:12] --mwbot-- For the current version of DefaultSettings.php, see: . [16:49:15] Grep that. [16:50:28] is $wgCapitalLinks what I'm looking for? [16:50:45] the comment is a bit unclear [16:54:03] lch: case insensitivity isn't possible at this time [16:54:16] ok [16:54:17] <_mary_kate_> lch: wgCapitalLinks make them _more_ case sensitive [16:54:22] $wgCapitalLinks just makes the first letter case-sensitive [16:54:32] yeah, that's what I'm reading out of that comment [16:55:12] hi guys... does anyone know how to fix an Access Forbidden! Error 403 when trying to access their wiki? [16:57:44] JMclvor, I got this problem when I tried to access to an aliased directory [16:58:16] I put an empty index.htm file in the susmentionned directory and it worked [17:02:52] which directory did u put it in? [17:05:23] in my own directory [17:05:38] assume that you want to host images in /home/mywikiimages [17:06:04] that did not work [17:06:13] and you have an alias (apache) /images to /home/mywikiimages [17:06:26] but my main wiki works well [17:07:31] this has nothing to do with /images, i'm trying to access the install scripts on my web browser from a port and access is forbidden for some reason [17:09:19] yeah I know, it was where I encountered the problem of error 403 => trying to access to a directory located elsewhere than mediawiki [17:09:27] and the error I get in my error log is "[client ipaddress] client denied by server configuration: serverName" [17:10:14] hi everyone... [17:10:31] for some reason i can't seem to get mediawiki to work except as localhost [17:10:35] i'm using uniform server [17:10:54] is there some setting i need to switch so other machines in my network can use mediawiki from my machine too? [17:11:01] JMclvor, it looks like an apache problem [17:12:29] which directory do you want to access ? [17:13:25] i guess /mediawiki [17:13:45] im trying to get in /home/.../public_html/myWikiName [17:14:07] so I can run these god damn install scripts that ive been trying to get for 4 hours lol [17:15:28] so, your mediawiki doesn't work yet ? [17:15:40] no, i havent been able to do anything [17:15:45] ok [17:15:56] can you log as root ? [17:16:10] yes [17:16:41] have you tried to launch scripts beeing root ? [17:16:52] which scripts do you mean [17:17:20] I'm assuming you'ree talking about the Linux box root, correct? [17:17:26] ok, maybe I don't understand your problem [17:18:26] can you describe what you are trying to do ? [17:18:35] I'm trying to install mediawiki [17:18:57] ok, and you've already done ? [17:19:04] I have the tarball in the /home/.../public_html/ directory [17:19:10] ok [17:19:33] I have apache listening on port 8080, and port 8080 pointing to the above mentioned directory [17:19:39] through a virtual host [17:19:57] MySQL, PHP and Apache are all ready to go [17:20:10] I'm trying to use my web browser to access the Wiki to run the install scripts [17:20:25] and I get the Access Forbidden! error [17:21:03] what is the url you tried in your web browser ? [17:21:42] http://'linuxBoxName':8080 [17:22:02] if im backing up a "not very busy" wiki with mysqldump --single-transaction - should i worry much about the "state" of the myisam search index table ? [17:22:36] where linuxBoxName = the address of the server [17:23:52] humm, have you extracted the files of the mediawiki tarball ? [17:24:17] yes, and added them to /home/.../public_html/wiki [17:24:36] and then I have a VirtualHost pointing to that directory throuhg port 8080 [17:25:44] I'm not used to VirtualHost [17:25:53] so maybe it's the problem [17:26:30] ya its an Apache thing.. I need to use because theres 4 other installations of MediaWiki on the Linux machine, and of course the Admin is gone all day [17:26:44] oh ok [17:26:57] try to look at the httpd.conf file [17:29:26] i think im just going to have to wait for the Admin.. thanks though bloubs [17:29:32] I appreciate the effort [17:29:59] i'm trying to set up links in mediawiki to point to local server files... [17:30:01] why won't it work? [17:30:47] Hello [17:30:56] I have an question; [17:31:25] is there anyway to set up links to addresses with spaces? [17:31:34] or force in mediawiki? [17:31:54] Does anyone knows or Imagewick (converting images small or bigger and thumbnail) needs any of this: Root acces, Shell acces, SSH Acces? Because my wiki gives an error on the moment i didnt have shell acces/root anymore. [17:32:41] I have asked it on other wiki sysops and they dont need one of this. Before an update i didnt to.. but now i have to.. [17:32:43] Mungo: {{urlencode:}} the parameters, like [http://google.com/search?q={{urlencode:{{{1}}}}} search] ? [17:33:24] links are usually [[local link]] which can contain spaces, or [protocol://external+link text] which cannot [17:35:51] Can someone help me with this? i dont get it.. my wiki musthave it.. other not.. [17:39:47] well [17:39:54] what i was getting at is more like: [17:40:28] [[file:///W:\blah blah\test.txt | test] [17:40:45] W: is a shared network drivve [17:41:31] add file: to $wgUrlProtocols yet? [17:41:35] yup [17:41:45] it's the space between blah and blah that is the problem [17:41:49] try %20 where the sapaces are? [17:41:51] ^spaces [17:42:03] brb [17:42:08] [file:///W:\blah%20blah\test.txt test] [17:42:17] <_mary_kate_> file: links don't work very well anyway [17:42:27] sure they don't, but they work-ish [17:42:54] and %20 works for spaces even for file: even for Windows [17:46:12] hmm [17:46:17] maybe you guys can help with a work around [17:46:22] what i'm trying to do here is document managmenet [17:46:32] so i want to set up hyperlinks to files stored on the server [17:46:38] any easy way to do that? [18:01:02] Hi gang. New to MediaWiki, quick question if I may: [18:01:41] I'm trying to import a live mediawiki install to a local server. I'm getting a blank front page. No error message, just a blank white screen. Any suggestions, or guesses where to look? [18:02:14] PS: echo "xyz"; exit; works fine from LocalSettings.php [18:02:40] hello [18:02:57] i have this problem when i want to upload file [18:03:01] to my wiki [18:03:08] Could not create directory "public/e/e5". [18:03:22] why the hell is mediawiki so damn ornery about spaces in the links? [18:03:24] do yu set 777 for the upload directory? [18:03:28] is there anyway to turn it off? [18:03:38] this is my wiki [18:03:43] http://www.ubuntu-rs.org/wiki/Glavna_strana [18:04:01] I know, but set 777 on commandline (or FTP client) [18:04:49] Ach! Found it, sorry. The RSS extension was messing things up. Cheers. :-) [18:05:17] Mungo: Use %20 instead of space [18:05:31] Wuzur|rhn: second [18:05:31] is there a program for quickly changing spaces to %20? [18:05:45] because there is no way in hell i can type in %20 for thousands of files on the server [18:06:10] just in the link [18:06:22] <_mary_kate_> Mungo: [W:\A B C] -- where's the filename and where's the link description? [18:06:29] <_mary_kate_> you can't fix that automatically [18:07:01] would be nice if you coul do [["W:\A B C" blah]] [18:07:07] Wuzur|rhn: do i have set permission 777 or 1013 [18:07:17] 777 [18:09:19] hi :) [18:09:33] Mungo: What you could do is do {{urlencode:http://url with spaces}} [18:09:34] can i categorize images via MediaWiki:Shareduploadconflict ? [18:09:42] Which automatically converts spaces to %20 [18:10:39] Forrester, categories in system messages probably won't work reliably, but you can try, I guess. [18:11:07] Forrester: You could try, but I seriously doubt it would work. [18:12:16] ok thanks....I'll at least give it a shot [18:15:11] 03(NEW) formatnum should allow more formatting options - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16273 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki: Internationalization; (huji.huji) [18:16:28] RoanKattouw: I tried [[{{urlencode:file:///testing spaces/}} test]] [18:16:30] and that did not work [18:16:57] How about file:///{{urlencode:testing spaces}} then? [18:17:07] <_mary_kate_> Mungo: URLs only have one [ ] [18:17:12] <_mary_kate_> Mungo: [[ ]] is for internal links [18:17:28] oh [18:17:32] doh! [18:18:29] one sec brb [18:19:25] RoanKattouw: if i do that i get file%3A%23F%2F%2FX%3A%5etc.... [18:19:30] and no link [18:19:56] Try [file:///H:/{{urlencode:part with spaces}}/without/spaces link text] [18:22:00] ok [18:22:19] that seems to work, except that it put "+" where the spaces are [18:22:28] and so the file won't load up [18:23:06] isn't it supposed to be %20 instead of +? [18:23:12] Oh of course ... *facepalm* [18:23:28] Yeah {{urlencode:}} converts spaces to +, I know, it's stupid [18:23:36] But it's not without its uses [18:24:20] It's what the HTML standard requires for encoding GET requests, isn't it? [18:24:49] VasilievVV: you seem to be the only one around here who have operator access to #mediawiki. I think we should invite Chanserv to this channel [18:25:31] MinuteElectron: Sorry, you can also handle it because you also have operator acecss [18:25:47] ach...what a nightmare [18:26:05] Hojjat: why? [18:26:10] i spent the last coupla days getting this to work, get some content in, and now figure out that i can't link to my documents because of this %20 issue [18:26:27] VasilievVV: for the same reason we have it on many other channel [18:26:28] s [18:26:42] What's that reason? [18:27:43] *_mary_kate_ sees no purpose to having chanserv here [18:27:50] 03(NEW) rotate an image - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16274 normal; normal; MediaWiki: Images; (crochet.david) [18:29:48] VasilievVV: maybe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChanServ (maintaining the channel) [18:30:06] Hojjat, be more specific? [18:30:22] What features do you want ChanServ for? Generally you don't need ChanServ on FreeNode, AFAIK. [18:30:48] well, for example, to get a list of people who have operator access on this channel, I had to send a message to chanserv [18:30:49] Some IRC networks might require a channel bot in all owned channels, but FreeNode allows people to be given ops and so on without ChanServ present. [18:30:59] <_mary_kate_> Hojjat: chanserv doesn't have to be in the channel for that [18:31:04] Hojjat, yes, but . . . ChanServ didn't have to be in the channel. [18:31:19] _mary_kate_: of course not. Perhaps the only benefit is to type "Chanserv" faster by hitting the tab [18:31:38] and... [18:31:41] <_mary_kate_> the only real reason to have chanserv in the channel is if the channel is sometimes empty [18:31:52] <_mary_kate_> in which case having services there preserves the +beI lists [18:32:15] Is that still the case? I thought ChanServ wasn't even required for that anymore... [18:32:18] maybe it is my client, but when I call chanserv from a channel in which he is not present, the response is shown in a different tab where chanserv is present :( [18:32:29] Hojjat, it's quicker to type /cs anyway, instead of /msg ChanServ, if your client supports /cs. [18:32:29] <_mary_kate_> MZMcBride: it is for normal channels, perhaps there's some kind of special channel that doesn't need it [18:32:30] MZMcBride: I thought like that too [18:32:52] I think there's some sort of mode or something. [18:32:57] *MZMcBride shrugs. [18:33:18] Simetrical: it does, but as I said, the reply is shown in another tab belonging to a channel which has chanserv in it [18:33:19] :( [18:33:30] *Simetrical gets the reply as a notice [18:33:31] I still am not sure if this is wity my client or with freenode [18:33:42] I suppose it is me [18:34:13] <_mary_kate_> sounds like your client's broken [18:34:18] so.. everybody thinks having chanserv there is useless? (as long as we don't fear to lose +beI lists)? [18:34:24] <_mary_kate_> yes [18:34:26] _mary_kate_: :-S [18:34:35] Yes [18:34:36] that was to your first one, not to your "yes" [18:34:59] *Hojjat hides then [18:35:32] Obviously what we need is six or seven link bots.

[19:00:49] (I might be able to get a bounty posted for it) [19:04:59] What's RawHtml? [19:05:49] Simetrical: Placing HTML documents in the Wiki text source [19:06:05] Ah, so you mean $wgRawHtml or whatever it's called? [19:06:14] hey guys, do you know how to find out what the current password is for a user in linux [19:06:28] Nobody touches that feature much, because it's useless for real wikis, which is what we mostly care about. [19:06:39] JMcIvor, you can't, it's hashed. You'd have to try to crack the hash. [19:06:45] JMcIvor, you can reset it, though. [19:06:46] blast [19:07:05] Yeah, this is for an internal corporate wiki, so it is handy to be able to put things like powerpoint files in a page [19:07:08] yes, im aware of the reset [19:07:10] thanks [19:07:13] :) [19:08:10] If we can get a page that is MHTML instead of HTML embedded in place of the usual markup to work... [19:08:37] so that the page, when viewed, sends the first of the MIME sections to the browser (just the html) [19:09:12] and then, when the browser asks for the (relatively linked) other elements, it fishes out the other sections, it would actually work [19:09:28] Then, Powerpoint becomes and external editor, I think [19:09:39] and all kinds of content jus plain work. [19:10:42] Simetrical: Does any decent MediaWiki developer do custom development? [19:11:13] ohack, you mean, are there any MediaWiki developers (people with commit access) who are available to do custom work for a fee? Not to my knowledge. [19:11:37] Some work for the Wikimedia Foundation, some work for other parties, some are volunteers, but I'm not aware of any up for hire. There might be a couple, though. [19:12:20] yeah... they don't have to be able to commit, but the people with the right skills to do it correctly would probably be the same sort [19:13:00] I don't really involve myself in the third-party modification scene at all. I stick to core code and Wikipedia-related issues, so I can't help you. [19:13:28] Same for most MediaWiki devs (although some work for specific third parties instead of being Wikipedia-centric). [19:21:25] Simetrical: OK Thanks. I'll sniff around for someone on the commerical end.

[19:36:55] if you have the name of the extension, just put it in the search @ mediawiki.org and you'll hav ethe help page [19:37:54] (usually, it's just putting the files in /extensions/(yourext) ; and adding an include+parameters (if any) on the Localsetting.php file [19:38:50] i have written a new extension and i want to upload to mediawiki, i am writting the instructions but i don know to upload tgz file [19:39:57] 03jojo * r43276 10/trunk/extensions/Collection/ (7 files in 2 dirs): re-ordering articles/chapters with drag&drop [19:42:46] ...uh [19:42:52] ...you don't ?

[19:52:31] 03jojo * r43277 10/trunk/extensions/Collection/Collection.body.php: fix [19:53:38] ePhilips, special pages include a huge amount of functionality. For instance, Special:UserLogout is obviously necessary for all users to be able to access. Therefore, there's no way to disable all of them. [19:54:53] ah, i was trying to block access to certain part in the Special pages- like Users and Rights [19:54:54] ePhilips, special pages that involve privileged functionality (e.g., Special:MovePage, Special:UserRights) have their own permissions associated with them by default. For broader control, you might try the Lockdown extension. [19:55:20] Users can't access Special:UserRights unless they're in the bureaucrat group, by default.

[20:56:43] !svn [20:56:43] --mwbot-- Subversion is a version control software that allows users to download the very latest version of a branch without having to wait for someone to get around to packaging it. Advantages to using Subversion include the latest version, vastly simplified updating, the ability to roll back an upgrade, the ability to create and submit patches. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Subversion for more information. [21:00:11] Hello [21:00:18] i've a problem. can someone help me out? [21:00:28] !ask [21:00:28] --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. [21:00:31] Does mediawiki blacklist some XHTML tag like the ? [21:00:43] lyhana8: Yes, it blacklists nearly all of them [21:00:50] I cant parse {{#if:{{{nome_denascimento|}}}| [21:00:57] it dont parse correctly [21:01:02] !parserfunctions | vaurdan [21:01:02] --mwbot-- vaurdan: "Parser functions" are a way to extend the wiki syntax. ParserFunctions is an extension that provides the basic set of parser functions (you have to install it separately!). For help using parser functions, please see . For details about the extension, see . [21:01:10] Ah ok :P [21:01:16] that bot is very completed [21:01:35] How do I allow a tag ? [21:01:39] Yep, it has the answer to pretty much every question that was asked more than three times and has a relatively easy answer :P [21:02:16] What Extencion do I need to install?

I've problem with thumbains, because of some PHP error [21:04:43] Well the pitfall is that Wikipedia has more tweaks and extensions than you might expect [21:04:47] What's the error? [21:04:52] let me check [21:05:20] Warning: escapeshellarg() has been disabled for security reasons in /XXX/wiki/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 2018 [21:05:40] That's not an error, that's a warning.

[21:07:24] How do I know if I've Imagemagick [21:07:24] ? [21:07:40] Do you have shell access? [21:08:16] If you do, you can run the command 'which convert' to find out. [21:08:27] If it prints nothing, you probably don't have IM [21:08:52] If it does print something, that something will be the absolute path to convert, which you'll need to configure MW to use IM [21:09:37] (all that assumes your server runs Linux or another UNIX flavor, of course) [21:10:49] 03(mod) Paging for Special:Undelete - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7996 (10JSchulz_4587) [21:16:22] Hi, where do i add CSS style to my wiki (looking for the monobook.css) ?

[21:22:44] <_mary_kate_> yes, but it won't necessarily do what you want [21:23:10] what do you mean? [21:23:17] the hyperlinks won't work? [21:23:21] <_mary_kate_> you can paste anything into mediawiki, it's just text [21:23:30] <_mary_kate_> but it might not do what you're expecting [21:23:39] icic [21:23:52] yeah I want to put in formatted text and tables without creating them through mediawiki [21:23:54] well, some html will be acceptedas such. [21:23:59] some not. like [21:24:07] <_mary_kate_> if your 'formatted text' is just and
and your tables are , it'll work fine [21:24:12] <_mary_kate_> as that stuff is on the allowed html list [21:24:16] so no hyperlinks then... [21:24:29] Pescha: if you want hyperlinks, use wiki syntax [21:24:40] k thanks [21:24:41] brb [21:24:48] Pescha: there are also html-to-wiki converters out there that work fine for "simple" stuff [21:27:22] ooh [21:27:27] that sounds like a good possibility [21:31:45] bleh... [21:31:59] neither method worked...the tables are gone [21:31:59] only the contents are shown [21:32:19] if only wordperfect or microsoft word had an "export to mediawiki" option....

[23:47:09] oh ok english^^ [23:47:35] I have a question about Mediawiki [23:48:19] Sion: On IRC, you should just ask instead of warning us first. [23:49:01] I have changed the colors of my mediawiki into #333333 but the bottom of my page is still black [23:49:24] and i tried nearly everything but it is not changing its color [23:49:56] what can i do? [23:50:09] Sion: what is the URL of your wiki? [23:50:17] myrafwiki.redio.de [23:51:04] looks all grey to me on the main page [23:51:27] Sion: that looks like #333 to me. [23:51:36] also [23:51:52] you shouldn't edit monobook/main.css [23:51:52] makes it hard to upgrade [23:51:53] changes can be done on http://myrafwiki.redio.de/myrafwiki/index.php/MediaWiki:Monobook.css [23:52:33] but on Firefox, Opera and IE its still black on my screen below the Powered by icon [23:52:53] tried clearing cache?

[23:54:27] If so, shouldn't it be in User::newFromID()? [23:54:29] Mike_lifeguard: about the patch for diff: have you checked if that plays nice with $wgEnableHtmlDiff = true; [23:54:58] no, and I am having trouble getting my wiki to not crash -- once that is fixed I'll do that. [23:55:06] thx^^ [23:55:20] Mike_lifeguard: heh. Good luck with that :) [23:58:50] I changed my skin and the , $wgDefaultSkin = 'StellarBook'; the skin default user is monobook :/ why plesae ?
