[00:16:19] 03(FIXED) Stale thumbnails for recently reuploaded image, purging doesn' t help - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16286 +comment (10nospam) [00:36:32] hi [00:37:20] how is it possible to use a picture in a wikipage without an link to the image: page ? [00:38:40] !imagelink | Danwe [00:38:40] --mwbot-- Danwe: In MW1.14+: you can use the new 'link' parameter [[Image:Foo.png|link=Bar]] | Before that, image linking was intentionally not supported in MediaWiki, so access to the image's description page was always available. If you need image links, see for methods and information. [00:39:16] note that 'no link' is pretty much the same as 'linking otherwhere than the description page' [00:39:57] what is your specific need? there are a dozen ways to do it of various complication/scaleability [00:40:29] i'd like to use a image in a template, more as design icon than an link to something [00:40:56] just one image ever? or will this scale to dozens later? [00:41:06] (like, each such template getting its own image) [00:41:26] er to clarify, each template, not each template usage [00:41:49] if you plan on having few different designs (even if lots of usages) a css background image might be laziest [00:42:28] only one image [00:43:05] I'd prefer to do that without CSS, quck n dirty ;-) [00:43:45] well, css is the quickest and dirtiest [00:44:01] whats about imagemap? [00:44:13] the other methods are: install an extension like timeline or icon, enable external images, upgrade to 1.14 [00:44:21] imagemap works, yep [00:44:36] er subst/timeline/imagemap, got timeline on the brain [00:44:52] do you have imagemap installed already? [00:48:08] yes [00:48:25] but how can i do an imagemap without link? allready tried but i ve got a error message [00:48:36] the syntax is very tricky i think [00:48:52] 1.14 isnt stable yet. isnt it? [00:50:01] no [00:50:04] Image:Wiki.png|100px [00:50:04] rect 0 0 0 0 [[Image:Wiki.png]] [00:50:04] desc none [00:50:37] there is still a link reachable in tabbing (in firefox for example) but no clickable link [00:51:25] (wrap in of course) [00:51:30] ok, i will try that. but the icon extension also looks great [00:51:36] 03(mod) Specify timezones by location, to allow automatic adjustments of timeoffset and daylight saving time (DST ) - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505 (10legoktm.wikipedia) [00:51:53] you could just allow external images, though you get no thumbnailing [00:52:01] or externalimagesfrom to limit the sources [00:53:18] ok, your code works well :-) thank you [00:53:31] rar [00:53:39] Another question: Is it possible to define another title to an wikilink? [00:53:58] [[Foo|Bar]] you mean? [00:54:04] Bar [00:54:06] no not text [00:54:09] i mean the html title [00:54:16] title="" ? [00:54:22] a title="" yes [00:54:32] [[Foo|Bar]] works I think [00:54:33] Simetrical: having fun with git rebase :P [00:55:33] nice, this works well :-D [00:56:21] *Splarka senses a pattern [00:57:14] "How can I do something in mediawiki using wikicode that it wasn't meant to do?"

[01:12:59] nope, asleep [01:14:38] $wgEnotifUseRealName seems like a gratuitous option and I request permission to remove it. [01:14:50] (And always use real names if present.)

[01:19:43] 03werdna * r43321 10/branches/group_rights/: Recreate group_rights branch, applying changes in a moment. [01:21:41] davidmccabe: it is easier to be reverted by brion than to ask permission [01:22:23] ha [01:25:44] Seriously, why should that be optional? [01:25:50] We didn't have enough globals before? [01:27:58] Why are diff links only shown for impersonal emails? [01:30:07] werdnus, figured out how to use branches? [01:34:59] Simetrical: yeah, I'm getting there :) [01:35:16] Simetrical: just having fun doing some rebasing [01:47:03] Will $user->isAnon() ever yield a different result from User::isIP( $user->getName() )? [01:47:36] I dunno, but you should always use the former. [01:47:46] I think it checks differently though [01:47:56] one regexes the name, one checks if uid=0 [01:48:11] so I suppose the difference would be for some pseudo-users like MediaWiki default, etc [01:48:42] I didn't realize there were pseudo-users. [01:48:55] Email notif. uses the later1 [01:49:06] This code is really laughable. [01:49:27] <_mary_kate_> i added a feature to enotif once and found it somewhat odd [01:49:35] <_mary_kate_> probably should've taken some time to rewrite it [01:49:48] _mary_kate_: I'm doing that now. [01:49:58] Don't blame you for skipping it. [01:56:28] 03werdna * r43322 10/branches/group_rights/ (17 files in 7 dirs): Commit group_rights changes back in. [01:57:09] I am working on an extension that will make it so certain pages (in a user defined name space) will have a unique tab called "Rate" (already have this much done). I want it so that when a user clicks the Rate tab they are brought to a page where there is a form which they may use to rate the connected page in various categories (see here for the inspiration: http://www.pvxwiki.com/w/index.php?tit [01:57:11] le=Build:A/E_Moebius_Spiker&action=rate). I was just about to being making a special page for the rate page, and I am not sure this is the way to do it.. [01:59:53] Special page sounds right. [02:00:06] You could make a custom action, but a special page is probably a little less weird. [02:00:22] Simetrical: I got it working! woo! [02:01:00] Simetrical: I ended up killing the group_rights branch on svn, recreating it, checking it out locally, and running git diff svn/group_rights group_rights | git apply; git commit -a; git svn dcommit [02:01:31] presumably when I want to update it to trunk, I just use git rebase master [02:06:25] Where should I refer people who want to hire a MW developer? [02:07:16] not to me :) [02:07:19] uh [02:07:22] there was wikihr.net [02:08:59] Thanks guys, just wanted to make sure I was on the right track! :D [02:09:31] werdnus, be aware that if you rebase, you shouldn't try to publish. Stuff will spaz out. [02:09:40] werdnus, because when you rebase, you're really destroying all the old commits and creating totally new ones with new names and contents. [02:10:14] If you want to maintain a branch that you publish publicly, you most likely want to use the branching feature. [02:10:21] I've never done that, though, so I can't say for sure. [02:11:12] I need to merge in commits from trunk into my branch. [02:12:26] werdnus, you should be able to use git merge. You could also use git rebase, but then publishing your branch will be tricky. [02:12:53] Ooh, I like the way they've done the top tabs on wikia. [02:13:09] Unconfuzzled the fact that there are two distinct pages, and n actions for whichever page you're on.

I have a mysqldump of a MediaWiki database. I believe it's from a slightly older version of media wiki, but I'm not sure. If it is an older verison, it's only about 4-5 months old (if any new versions have been released in that timeframe). [08:13:05] Anyway, would I be able to import the sql into a current version of a mediawiki database? [08:13:28] basically, I'm looking to restore a backup after my HDD crashed, and I think the version of mediawiki has changed between now and since the upgrade. [08:16:19] what would be the best way to go about restoring the backup? [08:22:07] Schiz0|SD: I believe the safest way would be: install old version, export xml, install new version, import xml. [08:22:45] ah ok [08:23:15] is there any way to tell WHICH version the old sql files are from? Like, does it store the mediawiki version somewhere in the db? [08:23:27] I don’t know [08:23:44] hmm [08:23:52] open it in a text file editor and have a look maybe? [08:24:51] I did....it didn't say anything, I just searched the file for "version" [08:25:50] unless it's a very old (like pre 1.5) I think the schema has been pretty stable. don’t hold me to that, though. [08:26:29] nah, the HDD crashed like two weeks ago, and the wiki was installed a few months before that. So it can only be, at most, a 4-5 month old version [08:27:25] i bet you'll be fine just importing the sql. [08:27:36] alrighty [08:27:40] *Schiz0|SD gives it a try [08:33:59] so, who wants to play with my sexy MediaWiki function reference? [09:08:32] kibble: awake now...

[09:50:54] Alright then, well, I was wondering about conditioned image layering. I currently have maybe a few ideas of how to do it, but I need to know if they're possible: [09:52:13] But first, to clarify, this is terms of image mapping. Now, I already have a mapped image, what I want to do is, if A = B, then I want an image, or a text character to appear in a specific place over the image [09:53:08] the first idea of how this might be possible, using the image map system of coordinates to locate where an image or character should be placed, with the size of the image dictated by the rect coordinates [09:56:28] but as said, I also want this to be conditioned, say, {{#ifexist:page|{{#imagelable:{{#tag:imagemap|rect 1 2[[link]] rect 3 4 [[link]]}}rect 1 3 [[Image:pic.jpg]]}} }} [09:56:30] ect [09:56:32] *etc [09:58:30] of course it would also be nice if someone knew of a way to modify the extension source so that it could also accept images to be in the place of links as specified by the mapped area size [10:09:29] eh, it's 2am, now is not the time.

[13:41:21] thats for internals [13:41:32] using [[|]] [13:41:44] yea. i realized i was doing it wrong. thanks. [13:43:34] hi [13:44:08] how is it possible to change the background image on my wiki? As you can see here for example, there is an different background image: http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki [13:44:59] is there a way to remove the horizontal lines under =, ==, and === titles? [13:45:24] Danwe and estan edit the css files [13:45:35] cirwin: alright. thanks. [13:45:35] _mary_kate_: I've got a shell script that forwards ports from my server to my laptop with ssh, but it seems to time out every few hours... how do I stop that? [13:45:45] easiest way: replace skins\monobook\headbg.jpg [13:45:48] [[Mediawiki:Monobook.css]] [13:45:51] _mary_kate_: this is the script: ssh -fR 3307:127.0.0.1:3306 -R 7071:127.0.0.1:7070 -R 7022:127.0.0.1:22 andrew@epstone.net tail -f /dev/null [13:45:54] or [[Mediawiki:Common.css]] [13:46:00] thanks [13:46:11] <_mary_kate_> werdna: fix your stateful packet filter / NAT device / firewall [13:46:30] _mary_kate_: I don't think it's that, because there are packets going across. [13:46:55] *werdna looks at config [13:46:57] <_mary_kate_> you said it times out... that usually indicates a period of inactivity [13:47:12] yeah, but inactivity on the shell [13:47:17] cause I'm using tail -f /dev/null [13:47:28] <_mary_kate_> silly to request a shell if you just want port forwarding [13:47:46] well how do I not request a shell? [13:48:05] <_mary_kate_> perhaps -TN [13:48:35] -T Disable pseudo-tty allocation. [13:48:43] -N Do not execute a remote command. This is useful for just for- [13:48:43] warding ports (protocol version 2 only). [13:48:45] smartass. [13:49:08] my router does also have TCP inactivity timeouts :/ [13:49:23] <_mary_kate_> that seems impossible unless it's also doing NAT or statefull filtering [13:49:33] Is there a way to suppress the display of the namespace in page titles and category lists? [13:49:42] <_mary_kate_> although i did have an old router that maintained the NAT table even when not doing NAT, that was pretty weak [13:49:52] _mary_kate_: it's listed under 'connection policy', with 'Stateful Packet Inspection' above. [13:49:57] <_mary_kate_> (because if there were >1000 connections, it'd crash) [13:54:08] *werdna disables SPI on TCP [13:54:08] what could go wrong? [13:54:08] _mary_kate_: http://mwref.werdn.us/ --> check that out [13:55:51] 23:50 * werdna disables SPI on TCP [13:55:54] 23:50 < werdna> what could go wrong? [13:55:59] I answered my own question, incidentally. [13:56:06] Apparently that wasn't "Turn TCP SPI on/off", it was "Turn TCP on/off" [13:56:22] A rather pedantic distinction, I think you'll agree [13:58:24] What might cause Firefox *and* Epiphany to hang on startup and produce no output? But the problem goes away on reboot? Some process stopping them from using the Gecko libraries, in some mysterious fashion?

[14:34:39] wahou ;) [14:34:40] nice [14:35:15] on my old p4 2g ram, debian, booting takes...less than 20'' [14:35:30] 03ialex * r43323 10/trunk/phase3/includes/Article.php: Cleanup for r43315 (per aaron's comment): remove extra set of parenthesis [14:35:34] From pushing the power button to a desktop with idle CPU and disks?

[14:36:17] werdnus, maybe I'll use it sometime, I dunno. [14:36:35] bah, startx, then ion3 launch, you can add 5'' if you want ;) [14:36:47] Simetrical: I thought it might be more fun than sauce-grepping. [14:37:01] *Simetrical greps werdnus with tabasco sauce [14:37:25] nom nom nom [14:37:35] Is there a way to suppress the display of the namespace prefix in page titles and/or category lists? [14:38:03] queuetue, no, that would be completely confusing. The namespace is part of the title. [14:38:17] I mean, if you wanted to hack the code, it would probably be a one-line change. [14:38:38] but it wouldn't be done. [14:38:49] Simetrical, I'll agree wrt page titles, but with category listings, there's a lot of redundant info. [14:39:16] "You can copy the title from the heading" is a core principle of MediaWiki's usability. [14:40:25] "Leading spaces are another way to preserve formatting. However, it will make the whole page fail to render properly in some browsers, such as IE7, thus making the page unreadable." <- is this true? how come? :/ [14:40:48] werdnus, that's a little strong. [14:40:56] It's a principle we currently follow, more like. [14:41:03] estan, no, that's complete BS. [14:41:07] estan, where did you find it? [14:41:27] werdnus, I think I'm going to try using my computer as an alarm clock. Just putting appropriate "beep" commands in cron. [14:41:28] :D [14:41:46] Simetrical: I wanted to do that, but my computer is too noisy when *idle* [14:41:56] Simetrical: okay, good. i found it here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_edit#No_or_limited_formatting.E2.80.94showing_exactly_what_is_being_typed [14:42:01] I have a noisy fan or something right now. [14:42:07] *Simetrical needs to poke around and shut it up, maybe [14:43:20] *werdnus should go to bed soon. [14:43:25] werdnus, do you have IE7 handy by any chance to test this claim? [14:43:30] yeah [14:43:38] as obscene as that was. [14:44:09] *Simetrical is trying to find who added that [14:44:42] <_mary_kate_> Simetrical: it looks fine in my IE7 ... obviously [14:44:48] <_mary_kate_> i think someone would've noticed a bug that serious ;) [14:44:57] Yeah, it looks fine for me. [14:44:59] It's just a

[14:49:41] 	We can't have people spreading misinformation.
[14:49:49] 	teehee, it's like Rob all over again.
[14:50:11] <_mary_kate_>	apparently eb1911 has an article on PAYMENT OF MEMBERS
[14:50:15] <_mary_kate_>	that sounds curious
[14:50:23] 	beep -f 12000 = slightly painful.
[14:51:24] 	beep -f 19000 = inaudible.
[14:51:28] *Simetrical 	could turn his computer into a dog whistle!

[14:53:27] 	Simetrical: but Rob was always making a personal effort, and every now and then he'd come out and hand out a million compliments.
[14:53:37] <_mary_kate_>	Simetrical: beeping was much easier on the C64
[14:53:43] 	ok, thanks cirwin 
[14:53:56] 	werdnus, if you have beep installed, try running that command line.  It's great.
[14:54:06] 	Now, what's the best frequency for an alarm clock?
[14:54:32] 	Simetrical: start low
[14:54:43] 	and gently increase the frequency until you can stand it no longeR?
[14:55:27] 	Simetrical: whoa!
[14:56:52] *Simetrical 	is probably going to get family members coming over pretty soon to make him shut up his computer
[14:56:57] 	rather than a frequency, a tune/song would be better :o
[14:57:51] 	Simetrical: that's really cool.
[14:57:59] *Simetrical 	needs to write a shell script that plays his favorite computer game's theme song
[15:00:14] *Simetrical 	thinks this would make a good alarm clock: beep -f700 -l500 -r10 -D200 -n -f800 -l500 -r10 -D200 -n -f900 -l500 -r10 -D200 -n -f1000 -l500 -r10 -D200

[15:00:40] 	Simetrical: my headphones are on the other computer, excuse me for not copying that out
[15:00:55] 	werdnus, this is using the built-in speaker, shouldn't be going to your headphones.
[15:00:57] 	My speaker is off.
[15:01:12] 	Simetrical: too late for that kind of thing.

[16:27:03] 	in the inex.php ?
[16:27:05] 	*index
[16:27:10] 	If you want to force that skin for all the users and disable the ability for them to change it in preferences, see $wgAllowUserSkin
[16:27:15] 	muzy, No, LocalSettings.php
[16:27:29] 	okay
[16:27:57] 	i wonder because i set up a theme and ask some other "how this looks" and they say it's the same before ^^
[16:29:23] 	chuck: $wgAllowUserSkin will be only in 1.14 ;)
[16:30:09] 	ialex, I know, I added it myself ;-)
[16:30:19] 	chuck: i know ;)
[16:30:23] 	yes chuck

[20:40:12] 	^_^ php... right now I'm doubting the /facts/ inside that manual... I don't trust half the things it says...
[20:41:40] 	Actually, I have the sneaking suspicion that microtime(true); returns milliseconds, not microseconds like it says. :/ or at least there is something in my way of getting a proper profile comparison
[20:41:58] 	you got on the most people channel #debian, #c, #perl ... :)
[20:42:05] 	yeah, it's milliseconds
[20:42:22] 	the name is micro, but the page saysmilli
[20:42:25] 	Ahah... I thought so

[20:43:32] 	microtime() seams to be closest to my IntervalNow()
[20:43:53] 	For me IntervalNow() returns milliseconds, and UIntervalNow() returns microseconds.
[20:45:16] 	Hmmm... nowait... that's IntervalNow to microtime()*1000
[20:45:23] 	Maybe it is microseconds

[21:56:42] 	At least from an initial look
[21:57:06] 	what would you prefer?
[21:58:24] 	well, it looks like a plain extract from the code... Something that actually parses the information would be a bit more helpful... and what about the doc comments?

[21:59:15] 	My brain is trained to read a line of source code, so it seems a bit silly to present it any other way.
[22:00:04] 	Of course, you are welcome to use the backend any way you like -- it happens to pass the information back parsed, but the software ignores it and prints out the declaration line.

[23:01:21] 	Parses can take worst-case ten seconds or more.
[23:01:22] 	How can I cache it?
[23:01:25] 	It adds at least a few hundred ms
[23:01:27] 	VasilievVV: it's already cached
[23:01:28] 	Use the parser cache.
[23:01:41] 	VasilievVV: have a look at how categories are done.
[23:01:46] 	it'll be stored in the same object.
