[00:00:16] 03(mod) syntax to transclude a page without the containing page inheriting categories , interlanguage links - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=835 (10Simetrical+wikibugs) [00:08:20] guys [00:08:25] in advance, i know i'm dumb [00:08:31] i'm installing http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Countdown [00:08:52] do i save countdown.php directlyin the extensions folder, or in it's own "Countdown" folder inside extensions [00:08:59] and do i have to change localsettings for it to work? [00:09:19] Landlordos7: it is normal to create a directory [00:09:24] extensions/Countdown [00:09:27] and put it inside that [00:09:39] then you have to add a line to LocalSettings.php [00:10:18] what should the line say ?_? [00:10:23] require_once("$IP/extensions/Countdown/Countdown.php") [00:10:27] ; [00:10:32] (don't forget the semicolon) [00:10:37] ((like I just did :)) [00:11:31] k test time [00:11:54] Anyone know if Extension:Google_AdSense_2 is buggy?

I did find a suggestion to add a search/replace line in parser.php and that worked well, however it disrupted parsing of section/headings on the page so that ==section== is displayed rather than the fomatted header. [00:14:00] from it's page it seems you need a bleeding edge wiki 1.14alpha or newer ( KingTarquin ) [00:14:05] awesome [00:14:21] !poem | Guest7519 [00:14:21] --mwbot-- Guest7519: The Poem extension allows for easy formatting of poems and similar material in MediaWiki pages, by simply putting them between tags. See . [00:14:22] i love when stuff works [00:14:22] <3 [00:16:28] awesome - that looks great. parsing works within the delimited region? [00:16:35] cirwin, Where can I find that? [00:16:56] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Google_AdSense_2 look in the box on the right [00:17:55] cirwin, Sorry, I meant 1.14a [00:17:59] oh [00:18:07] !svn | KingTarquin [00:18:07] --mwbot-- KingTarquin: 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.

[00:20:40] Unless its hidden in some dir somewhere... [00:20:45] KingTarquin: MediaWiki 1.14alpha or newer [00:20:59] that is because of the hook SkinBuildSidebar [00:21:16] you can just use the latest svn [00:21:20] svn co http://... [00:21:21] how do i add a site notice? [00:21:28] Mediawiki:SiteNotice? [00:21:33] !sitenotice | Landlordos7 [00:21:33] --mwbot-- Landlordos7: Sitenotice is a wiki-wide message that appears at the top of the page for all users.

[00:23:59] >.< [00:25:09] http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/ << That what I am looking for? [00:26:49] KingTarquin: yes. Be aware though that running bleeding edge had some risks. [00:27:01] siebrand, I understand :) [00:27:12] *KingTarquin is using quite a few alpha's in production [00:27:15] KingTarquin: if you want to be reasonably safe, run the version Wikimedia is running -> see Special:Version on any of their wikis. [00:27:46] KingTarquin: do not forget to run ./maintenance/update.php to get your schema up to date. [00:28:15] As in a script or via the webpage? [00:29:50] siebrand, I get this error: svn: Repository moved permanently to '/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/'; please relocate [00:30:54] KingTarquin: lose the viewvc part. [00:31:00] No, replace it with svnroot. [00:31:10] I think. [00:31:22] Yeah, just deleting it doesn't work. [00:31:31] KingTarquin, the checkout URL is: http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/ [00:31:50] KingTarquin: from commandline (update.php) and svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/phase3 [00:32:04] Thanks, and thanks again :) [00:32:12] *siebrand smiles. [00:32:28] I think the Configure extensions is quite nice. [00:38:28] siebrand, I've checked out, and I keep getting Permission Denied when i run update.php [00:40:15] http://www.huskers.mozor.org/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sitenotice [00:40:26] can someone tell me why the "COUNTDOWN" text won't center in the exact middle of the table [00:40:46] and how to make the sitenotice trnsparent background [00:40:59] {| style="width:50%; background-color: transparent; align:center;" align="center" [00:41:06] That code is just wrong and ugly. [00:41:10] i know it is [00:41:28] {| style="width:50%; margin:auto; background:transparent; text-align:center;" [00:41:47] Don't use [00:41:54] Use font-size:XXX%; instead. [00:42:07] *Pathoschild peeks at the code and averts his gaze. [00:42:32] And your particular code is using colspan="2" when you have three columns. [00:42:40] it is [00:42:40] So that's the reason for the off-centering, I imagine. [00:42:41] wtf [00:42:44] i swear i put 3 [00:42:46] and didn't even check [00:42:47] -_- [00:42:48] sorry guys [00:43:07] siebrand, I also get a blank screen.. [00:43:14] I don't believe CSS has an align: properly. [00:43:14] hmm [00:43:18] Property, too. [00:43:20] it still didn't align right [00:43:23] There's text-align: and margin: [00:43:27] But no align: [00:43:38] wait n/m [00:43:46] hmmm [00:43:48] now it's right more [00:46:16] it's still got a white bg [00:46:18] hmm [00:47:46] ideas? [00:51:06] Looks fine to me. [00:52:59] it does? [00:53:15] also, if i dismiss my sitenotice, how do i get it back :P [00:53:28] Delete the cookie from your browser or up the counter. [00:53:33] [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice id]] [00:54:05] waht does that do [00:56:05] i don't know how it looks fine to you, it's still of center and the background of the notice is still white [00:56:11] (not sounding angry, just confused) [00:56:41] The background is transparent for me. [00:56:47] is there anyway to change the parser so that single newlines do not change to spaces, but rather just append the lines together? [00:58:31] really MZMcBride? [00:58:31] ... [00:59:12] http://pruebita.com/husk2.png [00:59:50] there is an extension called nonewlines (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NoNewLines) but it appears to mess up the Special:Version page and I cant get it work. [00:59:51] wtf.. [01:00:38] beaux: Well, it says it's a beta extension... [01:01:15] I've just checked out svn, and I cant actually load any page in the wiki, I just get a blank page. I go to run ./maintenance/update.php, and get this error >> http://dpaste.com/91281/ [01:01:55] KingTarquin: You need to rename the file AdminSettings.sample to AdminSettings.php and put the appropriate information in there. [01:01:58] Did you do that? [01:02:07] And then you run "php maintenance/update.php" [01:02:12] MZMcBride, yes [01:03:42] hey MZMcBride: if i just make a graphic for my sitenotice, how difficult would it be to float text in front of it [01:04:03] Probably not too difficult using CSS. [01:04:14] do you know how :P [01:04:43] Use absolute positioning. [01:04:50] If you don't what that is, use Google. ;-) [01:05:43] MZMcBride, I got the update.php to run without an error, but I still dont get a wiki, I just get the blank screen [01:06:04] KingTarquin: Have you installed any extensions or done anything special to LocalSettings.php? [01:06:11] A blank screen usually indicates a PHP fatal error. [01:06:37] Ah.... [01:06:45] *KingTarquin copies extensions >.< [01:06:57] Try commenting out your extensions section. [01:07:05] And see if that gets the site back up. [01:08:20] MZMcBride, Yeah, should'a thought about the extensions >.< [01:08:35] :-) [01:11:23] Hmm.. One of the extensions is causing an error :< [01:11:32] Binary testing, FTW. ;-) [01:12:12] <[X]> http://mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_debug [01:15:59] MZMcBride [01:16:16] {position: absolute; top: 46px; right: 80px; } - how do i include this in my text [01:16:18] i am such a noob =( [01:16:32] *KingTarquin sorted it :D [01:16:38] Wrap the text in a

[01:17:42] this it tough to do since when i preview it's not where it actually will be [01:18:25] isn't this going to look different on different resolutions? [01:18:38] Um... yeah? [01:18:45] The top: bit won't really. [01:18:49] But the right: bit will. [01:18:58] I'd suggest avoiding that. Use text-align:center or something. [01:19:08] hmm [01:19:13] my sitenotice is still white bg [01:19:15] how2fix >:O [01:19:16] bwharhr [01:20:19] text-align: center doesn't work [01:20:25] unless i put it in a table or sth [01:20:46] Landlordos7: margin: auto ? [01:20:52] what oes that do [01:21:00] centers the table inside the place it is put [01:21:15] background-color: #FF0000 [01:21:31] if i put it in a table it needs to be transparent [01:21:33] but [01:21:34] hmm [01:21:49] what will the div style="top: 46px;" do inside a table [01:21:56] will it still go from the top of the page, or the top of the table [01:23:12] top of the table [01:23:33] If it's outside the table, it will be relative to the page.

[03:25:47] hmm [03:25:54] the query completed successfully but its not wokring [03:26:41] (SQL query hidden) [03:26:41] from within function "wfGetImageTags". MySQL returned error "1146: Table 'landlord_wikihuskers.wiki_imagetags' doesn't exist (mysql.mozor.net)". [03:28:20] :Mike_lifeguard: any ideas? [03:28:55] I don't think you created it properly [03:29:03] did you run the query on the right database? [03:29:22] i believe so [03:29:53] i guess i don't know if i did or not [03:29:54] well... the table doesn't exist, so I guess not :) [03:29:56] or how to know [03:31:08] what is the right database? i just dd it on the parent landlord_wikihuskers database [03:32:49] "/*$wgDBprefix*/" <-- i suppose that should be replaced with soemthing huh -_- [03:32:56] possibly yes [03:33:00] if you use prefixes [03:33:03] i erm [03:33:06] idk [03:33:06] ? [03:33:07] =( [03:33:21] /* required table */ <-- should that be replaced with somethign? [03:33:27] no [03:33:33] should it be included at all? [03:33:38] it's a comment [03:33:42] doesn't matter [03:33:43] yeah ok [03:33:44] making sure [03:34:14] thanks for the help earlier yall - i went ahead and fixed the bugs in the NoNewLines extension so that it now works! This extension gives you a tag letting you remove stray new lines. supposedly good for templates where new lines in some parserfunctions can wreak havok on formatting. But i am using Mediawiki as a sort of IDE for a scripting language and i need to control my whitespace. [03:34:19] RingtailedFox: Fix your thumbnailing and then see what's wrong. [03:34:20] check it at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NoNewLines [03:37:03] deleted the offending SVG file (since i don't have any image software installed)...still gives random tags [03:38:11] RingtailedFox: So... what's wrong? [03:38:28] :MZMcBride: when you aren't busy with stuff could you help me with a db query [03:38:50] http://wiki.mobianlegends.com/wiki/Template:Infobox_Country gives random HTML table tags, while no other infoboxes misbehave [03:39:07] Landlordos7: It looks like you're in over your head. [03:39:16] Extensions sometimes aren't easy installs. [03:39:20] exactly why i'm asking for help [03:39:33] there are only 3 steps.. [03:39:34] =( [03:39:38] if you want, you can help him first. i can wait :) [03:39:42] RingtailedFox: Looks fine to me... [03:39:50] brion: yo [03:40:09] really? [03:40:30] oy [03:40:42] try previewing Template:Infobox Country in a new article, and you'll see [03:40:51] or even look at the previews in the documentation of Infobox Country [03:41:21] Looks fine to me. [03:41:32] With: [03:41:33] {{Infobox Country [03:41:33] |name= Foo [03:41:33] }} [03:41:51] i mean with most/all of the options made [03:42:28] I'm not testing every parameter. :P [03:42:57] oh [03:44:40] hmm. i'll test it in konqueror [03:45:34] : [03:45:38] :| [03:48:14] when i use the template, it shows [03:48:17] that's highly unusual [03:49:20] what's even more unusual as Template:Infobox Country is the ONLY one to display this behaviour [03:52:50] How does Wikimedia share session data between servers [03:54:48] chuck: we store the sessions in our memcached cluster [03:55:33] brion, is there some way to setup master/slave memcached servers or something? [03:56:03] not really, they're meant to fail by, well, failing ;) [03:56:13] you replace it with a fresh one and lose the old temp data (oh wells) [03:56:54] brion, but how does the data stay the same between all of them? [03:59:27] bah, I will just use only one memcached server, it's just a test cluster after all.. [04:00:42] there's no replication; the data set is split up by hash buckets [04:00:53] any given item will go to one and only one server [04:01:10] awesome!! my load balancing test servers don't fail now when they switch between each other [04:01:37] brion, what kind of load balancer does Wikimedia use? [04:02:24] for web stuff? LVS [04:05:24] heh, just got the session error in codereview (had page open too long) [04:06:09] :D [04:12:10] brion: btw, this is the patch I was talking to about earlier today (regarding CodeReview with a closed svn): https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=5529 [04:12:33] you went -away before I had a chance to link you earlier :) [04:12:51] *brion lookses [04:13:38] + private $user = $wgSubversionUser ? wfEscapeShellArg($wgSubversionUser) : ''; [04:13:39] o_O [04:14:22] it was easier to declare it in a class-wide scope than in each function [04:14:27] i would recommend doing that as a private method rather than setting member vars [04:15:00] ok [04:15:29] whee [04:17:48] brion: is svnImport hooked to svn commits? [04:18:17] a post-commit hook pings the api point to tell it to run updates [04:18:31] it does the same actual import bit as svnImport basically, but it's not doing the pre-caching of diffs [04:19:12]
