[00:00:27] for example, I went to 'edit' and it sat there stalled, not loading [00:00:38] so I went to http://sawserver.gotdns.com:85/skins/common/edit.js?164 and then the edit page loaded on refresh [00:02:03] SAWBG: so I think your home connection is either not up to the task, or possibly is being throttled by your ISP, you /might/ try a higher port like 8080 or 8000 [00:02:21] SAWBG: what program are you using as a server? [00:03:12] the one you're using is on IIS6, but if you use the same URL on port 80, you might go to the same site on an apache server... give me a sec and I'll make sure apache's running [00:03:39] I found the file with wgArticlePath [00:03:59] port 80 doesnt work for me either [00:04:22] don't change any wgArticlePath stuff, that isn't the problem [00:04:30] the server wasn't running...now it is [00:04:34] (or at least not the current one, heh) [00:04:42] its not what is causing this problem [00:05:22] try wiki now! [00:05:30] doe sit work? [00:05:41] still works for me, but I preloaded everything [00:06:08] seems to load faster for me [00:06:17] still have the mysql error, thoguh [00:06:37] i still get absolutely nothing in FF3 [00:06:41] the JS error seems to be caused by the mysql error, since it is sticking that error into some remote loaded files [00:06:41] 03(mod) interwiki transcluding with part of the page - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14724 (10federicoleva) [00:06:46] at least, the wiki on port 85 seems to load faster [00:07:08] so what can I do? [00:08:50] slithytove2006, try an experiment, try loading all these files one at a time in FF3... http://p.defau.lt/?F2gAfQDg0fUIq_Bi_L0m0w [00:09:20] then see if http://sawserver.gotdns.com:85/index.php?title=Main_Page loads for you [00:09:45] (if a file times out, wait a few seconds and try again) [00:10:45] the 2 before the last one do not work [00:11:01] there we go [00:11:14] be persistent, heh [00:11:24] although the last one is gave me the mysql error, but not anymore [00:11:33] no mysql error now? [00:11:44] the page loaded, but still seems to be stalled at the end [00:11:54] right [00:12:00] I looked online and it told me to remove mysql extention duplicate in php.ini [00:12:06] so it seems like two possibly related problems [00:12:11] want me to put it back [00:12:15] none of the images loaded, for the same reason those pages wouldnt load? [00:12:25] no. its only supposed to be there once [00:12:50] what? [00:12:59] dont put the line back [00:13:02] one is that the php error is causing slow loads and timeouts in some remote files, the other is that the server software or ISP is dropping parallel connections [00:13:30] oh... that beacuse of an IIS setting... let me fix it... [00:14:03] SAWBG: when someone tries to load a wiki page, the HTML is transferred, and then the web browser serializes all the dependences, of which there are a base 7 (more for other actions, like diff and edit). These all get requested at once, but most fail to load [00:14:19] and if any fail to load, the page doens't get shown in most browsers [00:14:37] in some versions of IE, it will show the page even when the connections stall [00:14:42] soooo..., Wikis on home ocnnectin are a bad idea? [00:15:11] well, fixing that php error might help... [00:15:12] hmm [00:15:17] is Special:DoubleRedirects returning false postivies? [00:15:21] but also trying other ports might, like 80 or 8080 [00:16:04] hmm, the php error is gone now? [00:16:07] The Mighty Magyars (Edit) →‎ Aranycsapat →‎ Golden Team [00:16:07] The Marvellous Magyars (Edit) →‎ Aranycsapat →‎ Golden Team [00:16:07] The Magnificent Magyars (Edit) →‎ Aranycsapat →‎ Golden Team [00:16:17] shouuld be [00:16:17] none point to Aranycsapat [00:16:24] *Splarka doesn't see it anymore [00:16:25] but directly to Golden Team [00:16:29] want me to set it on a different port? [00:16:31] can you load pages in FF or IE7 now, SAWBG [00:16:34] unlike what special doublreredirects report [00:16:34] ? [00:16:37] when i telnet to port 85 and doa manual request, it loads immediatly [00:16:48] slithytove2006: yep, because it is just one request [00:16:51] same for a view-source: [00:18:03] is there an option is IIS to limit parallel requests? [00:18:23] about loading in FF, Solarka, I always have been able to over my home network [00:18:48] and proxies. Just not from school or church with IE7 or FF3 [00:18:55] SAWBG:images and everything? [00:19:16] wondering if someone could help me. I setup mediawiki, i locked down the whole page so its only registered users, although is there anyway to hide the navigation or display a different layout so unregistered users cannot see the toolbars, etc? [00:19:21] proxies, not everything, only text, really, but with IE6, everything [00:19:24] White_Cat: possibly related to https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17300 which was broked on WMF for ~10 days and fixed yesterday, certain page moves caused redirects not to be registered, but tim ran a fixit script, which might cause oddities in the space-time continuum [00:20:07] White_Cat: possibly try a null edit on the redirect in question to see if it strikes itself out (or even a non-null whitespace changing edit) [00:20:27] is it possible that SAWBG's host is limiting his incoming connections? [00:20:44] or that IIS has an unlimited for local, but limits external? [00:20:56] mvsn: that would require custom changes to the skin in use [00:21:01] I didn't theink they did that anymore... too much traffic to monitor. but [00:21:25] slithy: thats okay, would there be a tutorial anywhere you could recommend? im having a hard time finding the instructions... i imagine its been done before. [00:21:27] SAWBG: yah, try port 8080 [00:21:42] with AT&TY my family only has 256kbs up... I;ve been wanting more qwith a staticIP, but my paretns don''t want to spoend the money [00:21:51] mvns: i coludnt find one, i had to figure it out myself. =[ are u familiar with php and html? [00:22:01] mvsn: "i locked down the whole page so its only registered user" from edit or read? [00:22:10] your hosting this on 256k up? [00:22:22] not by chooice, but yes, it is. [00:22:47] its locked down to registered user only... all i get is login required.. but i can see all the layouts... i know how to work with php and html, but i cannot write php from scratch [00:22:55] AT&T is stingy, unlike Verizon, who hasn't come to Alabama yet. [00:23:07] i dont know much abotu networking, but is it possible that eir's modem cant handle it and is therefore hanging? [00:23:39] mvsn: wikia has an extension or hack to set a specific skin to a specific page, you could possibly have the main page and user login as a custom skin with no navigation or menus (sounds like a lot of work though) [00:23:45] never thought about that. but what about the different browsers and the error on line 10? [00:24:05] just trying to figure out the best easiest method thats all [00:24:16] heh [00:24:21] oh, i know, and I appreciate your work [00:24:30] I just cab't figue all this out!!!!! [00:24:39] splarka/mvsn: my site does just this. it looks different if you are logged it. i made my skin checkif an edit was possible, and if so, returned one set uf html, and otherwise returned a different one [00:24:43] splarka: do you know what i should be searching for [00:24:48] mvsn: whitelist site CSS and body.page-Special_Login #column-one { display:none;} [00:25:02] [00:25:07] Is there a way to give access to unwatched pages to a non-admin? [00:25:47] $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['unwatchedpages'] = true; [00:25:50] Splarka: i wouldnt say im lazy lol. im juggling between so much stuff. what do you mean by what you wrote? [00:25:58] Mufka: give that right to the custom group you want to have it [00:26:15] y'all talking to me? [00:26:16] mvsn: I meant that was the lazy method [00:26:21] mufka: i dont know if i fully understand what youre asking, but the lock feature makes it so oly admins can edit. perhaps unlock to wiki for all users, but lock certain pages [00:26:26] SAWBG: put your wiki on port 8080 as a test [00:26:34] give me 2 min [00:26:56] mvsn: im gonna send you an exerpt from my skin in a PM so as not to spam the channel [00:26:58] slithytove2006: I think they mean Special:UnwatchedPages which requires the 'unwatchedpages' right [00:27:16] oo. i apologize [00:27:39] Splarka: no way through gui? [00:27:45] nope [00:27:47] ok [00:27:59] unless you have the configure extension, which requires non-gui stuff to install, heh [00:28:09] mvsn: okay, this is what I mean... http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgWhitelistRead lists pages non-'read' groups can access [00:28:33] 03(mod) interwiki transcluding with part of the page - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14724 +comment (10alex.brollo) [00:28:43] by default site CSS is not in that, but you can add it, I think simply with $wgWhitelistRead = array("Main Page", "Special:Userlogin", "MediaWiki:Common.css"); [00:29:29] on 8080 now [00:29:39] now, if you load that, you then have the power to hide stuff per-page for even anon users, for example to hide all menus for Special:UserLogin: body.page-Special_UserLogin #column-one { display:none;} [00:30:01] SAWBG: trying [00:30:13] me too [00:30:15] it stalled but seems to be reviving the connections [00:30:45] php error gone [00:30:56] hmm, now it stopped [00:31:05] *Splarka back/forwards [00:32:11] SAWBG: some ISPs block or limit ports below 1024, since most client software uses ports over 1024 for replies, and there was a chance it would work better [00:32:28] did it? [00:32:37] nope... [00:32:54] moving back to 85... [00:33:02] or should I? [00:33:15] well, try it at 8080 from your church/school [00:34:16] you might try another server (hardware and/or software), or another cablemodem, or another ISP, but probably you'll have to host it properly [00:34:23] ok. After letting it load for a time can you see the page? [00:34:36] nope, not unless I load each css/js page individually first [00:34:40] tried another server, see above [00:35:07] the parallel connections just stall and time out [00:35:21] I'll limit it to one and only you try [00:35:54] sawbg: one isnt enough. it think he said base is like 7 or something for a mw page. [00:35:57] 03dale * r47122 10/trunk/extensions/MetavidWiki/ (3 files in 3 dirs): [00:35:57] minor remote search bug & style fix [00:35:57] maintenance updates [00:36:08] theres images several css, several js and the page itself all have to load [00:36:13] right, it is like it is dropping several of them, when it should defer them [00:36:22] *Splarka only loads 2 at a time anyway [00:36:39] ok limited to one [00:37:14] in my browser:network.http.max-connections-per-server = 2 [00:37:30] ??? [00:37:38] that means, my browser only ever tries 2 at a time [00:37:53] SAW: which port, 8080 still? now I am not getting anything [00:38:07] splarka: what if you set it to 1, then try his site? theoretically that would work wouldnt it? [00:38:21] yes, one one at a time. I can go back to unlimited, but you probaly strill wont get anything [00:38:54] slithytove2006: maybe... hmm [00:39:26] SAWBG: set it back to unlimited, I'll try again, with 1 max [00:40:08] done [00:40:35] slithytove2006: I think everyone should use max of 2 per server, it speeds things up, too many parallel connections choke things in my observation [00:40:57] but some people don't like waiting for a big top image to load before getting all the small ones [00:42:13] hmmmmm [00:42:17] stalls out on http://sawserver.gotdns.com:8080/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&usemsgcache=yes&action=raw&ctype=text/css&smaxage=18000 [00:42:21] hate to seam rude, but let's get back on subject. I appriciate y'all's help, but I 've got homework still to do. [00:42:30] What permissions should the mediawiki install folder have? I have mine currently set to 755, my user/group is wiki/wiki and apache is on 99/99 - it's a shared host so i don't have root access. [00:42:45] SAWBG: picky picky, okay, lets try drastic measures [00:42:56] ready [00:43:02] *Splarka looks up the variable [00:43:10] in LocalSettings: [00:43:12] $wgUseSiteCss = false; [00:43:17] $wgUseSiteJs = false; [00:43:28] you want them set there>? [00:43:31] that should remove two more loads per-page, the ones that are stalling anyway [00:43:37] er, three more actually [00:43:41] yes, set those to that there [00:44:10] Splarka: any idea on those permissions ;-p [00:44:14] if that fixes it, then the problem might not even be your ISP or server/hardware, heh [00:44:16] creating enties [00:44:16] nope [00:44:57] Simetrical: you still around? [00:45:03] doesn't seem to work [00:45:19] SAWBG: sec [00:45:27] sorry :) [00:45:33] *Splarka reloads [00:45:50] they're still being loaded [00:46:00] hmm [00:46:10] you sure you put those into LocalSettings.php at the end? [00:46:42] yes, I did [00:46:58] are u on FF, splarka? [00:47:13] mozilla [00:47:15] odd... [00:47:37] > PHP Parse error: parse error in F:\WikiBible\LocalSettings.php on line 128 [00:47:46] what I got [00:47:51] SAWBG: check that line, something wrong ^_^ [00:47:58] missing semicolon maybe? [00:48:12] needs a simicolon before them!? [00:48:21] no, after [00:48:21] I thought that mad eiy a comment' [00:48:27] ahhh..... [00:48:35] possibly the last line above those two didn't have one [00:48:35] try now [00:48:47] got it [00:48:47] better [00:48:52] *Splarka tries [00:48:53] yep [00:48:55] can you swee it [00:48:55] loads fine now [00:49:02] praie the Lord [00:49:12] no pun intended, see content of wiki [00:49:18] unless I spoke too soon [00:49:36] the page I was trying to load loaded fine, but a second one is being slow [00:49:37] Satan's messing with my serevrs, I'm sure of it... [00:49:46] heh [00:49:59] 03vrandezo * r47123 10/trunk/extensions/SemanticResultFormats/ (INSTALL README RELEASE-NOTES SRF_Settings.php): version 1.4.2 release [00:50:07] dout that. just need to take some collage classes on this stuff this summer [00:50:28] well, anyway, to repeat again, something is funky, and it could be MediaWiki at fault, or your ISP, or server, and your best bet is to host on a static IP, heh [00:50:52] get a proper server, and put it in a folder called w =] [00:50:56] but try from church/school now, and get back to us tomorrow [00:51:24] so that was like 5 questions all at once? [00:51:32] yeah [00:51:34] I will. Thanks! We ended just in time. I was about to take a dump in my pants. gotta go! [00:51:44] ... [00:52:06] did all the questions get answered? [00:52:09] *Splarka wonders why he set his keep-alive timeout to 20 min [00:53:40] rapidgame: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki has some info on suggested folder permissions [00:54:06] 777 or 755 it seems [00:54:18] Splarka: yeah, i've been looking at the - but im finding that it conflicts with some other suggestions on the forums etc [00:55:04] that's what you get when there are multiple answers with no clear superior one [00:55:30] rapidgame: personally, i use 755 for everythnig... [00:55:46] Splarka, I set keepalive to 5+ min just because I can, with lighttpd. :) [00:55:47] lol, yeah - was hoping someone here on IRC would know, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Securing_database_passwords has some different ideas as well [00:55:58] 1302 connections, practically all keepalive. [00:56:21] By which I mean 1294 or so of them are keepalive. [00:56:24] What should I hammer nails in with? claw hammer, ball-pean hammer, waffle hammer, sledge hammer, banana?... some clearly can be eliminated, but multiple answers with differing opinions and circumstantial allowances [00:56:39] lol. nice [00:56:43] slithytove2006: honestly I have no idea about file permissions lol, is 755 secure though, letting world execute files? [00:57:18] what happens if a file in ur wiki gets executed? [00:57:28] if its not index.php, it returns that it cant be executed on its own [00:57:30] ur.wikipedia.org ? [00:57:39] and if it is index.php, it loads your wiki [00:59:11] slithytove2006: haha, so 755 is fine? like i said, i have no clue ;-p [00:59:20] thats what i use [00:59:32] probably sholud use use 700 on the maintenence folder [00:59:37] and on AdminSettings.php if you have it [00:59:51] The execute bit generally may as well be the same for all users, except for directories and setuid binaries. [01:00:06] Well, unless a user can't read the binary. [01:00:34] I mean, if you have a program and it's 744 or something, that's not going to stop anyone from running it. They can just copy it, set the copy +x, and execute it from there. [01:01:16] -x on directories stops users from referring to any files they contain (barring hard links), and -x on setuid binaries could plausibly be used for something sensible (although I've never seen it). [01:02:02] You might want to set things to 700 or 750, but only if the webserver is the same user/group as the files. [01:02:23] simetrical: did you still wantto see that change i made to the links for my wiki? [01:02:48] the webserver is 99 99 - i'm on wiki wiki so i guess i have to go with 755? [01:03:16] if your on a shared host, the server is not the same as the files [01:03:34] hence allowing read and execute on them for world [01:03:59] also, (i believe this is the case) if a php file isnt executable, doesnt it just send straight text to the browser? [01:04:15] yes, can i change that? [01:05:17] slithytove2006, sure, go ahead and post it. Filing a bug (severity: enhancement) at bugzilla.wikimedia.org and posting it there would be better, though. [01:05:41] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Localsettings#Security - recommends 700 for LocalSettings, but i assume since the webserver and my user (therefore the files) are on different users, that it should be 755? [01:05:47] slithytove2006, in some shared hosts, the user that the PHP process runs as is actually the same as the user. This is true if they use CGI. [01:05:55] At least, it *can* be true if they use CGI. [01:06:04] From a security perspective this is the best way to do things. 1and1.com does it. [01:06:15] From a performance perspective it might not be ideal. [01:06:24] rapidgame, yes, that page is stupid. [01:06:27] oo. i see [01:06:34] Well, not exactly stupid. [01:06:36] Whatever. [01:07:02] haha thanks - so I can sleep safely at night if everything is set to 755, except for the images folder, which needs to be 777? [01:10:45] someone with the proper knowledge should really update both http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Securing_database_passwords and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Localsettings#Security to remove the conflicts [01:18:45] isnt there a variable i can set in localsettings.php to temporarily disable the wiki? [01:21:25] slithytove2006, exit("The wiki is currently undergoing maintenance.")? [01:21:32] :) [01:21:45] hmm. fine! [01:22:27] moin [01:22:51] Why do you want to temporarily disable the wiki? [01:22:58] *kraehe wonders if there is a way to get the plain content of a lemma, without hypertext reformatting around [01:23:18] A lemma? [01:23:44] somewiki.domain/wiki/Lemma [01:23:54] yes, there is [01:24:12] go to the edit version of th page [01:24:20] and change "edit" in the url to "raw" [01:24:31] this would display some text ... is there a way to get the wikisource without html around for this Lemma? [01:24:42] kraehe, do you mean "page"? [01:24:57] or page, if you plz [01:25:13] i want the source (wiki source) without any html style around [01:25:17] http://www.fernleycircles.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=raw gives the wikicode [01:25:21] kraehe, action=raw [01:25:46] you mean the code that is input into the edit box, right? [01:26:08] ah thanks Simetrical ;) [01:26:53] Well, slithytove2006 was saying the exact same thing. [01:32:41] is it ok to ask a general php question here? [01:33:15] given $a = false; and $b = true; [01:33:38] if you were to run if($a and $b) ... [01:33:45] would the value of b ever be checked? [01:34:00] slithytove2006, no, it wouldn't. PHP short-circuits, like C. [01:34:33] it realizes that the value will be false even tho the entire expression has not yet been calculated, then? [01:35:28] Yes. [01:35:37] hmm. is ($a and $b) the same as ($a && $b)? [01:37:29] Yes. [01:40:19] what's a superuse? [01:40:33] whats the context? [01:40:48] *user [01:40:57] for in AdminSettings.php [01:41:13] a user with full access [01:41:22] to every part of the database [01:42:05] 03werdna * r47124 10/trunk/extensions/AbuseFilter/ (8 files in 2 dirs): (log message trimmed) [01:42:05] Rewrite of Abuse Filter parser tokeniser. [01:42:05] I've made it more performant and fixed a few bugs by using regexes [01:42:05] instead of PHP loops, where possible, under the assumption that the [01:42:05] PCRE parser is more efficient than the same thing implemented in pure PHP. [01:42:08] Also, I'm now passing the same string around and calculating offsets, which [01:42:10] Tim tells me is far more performant than continually truncating the same string. [01:42:54] it may be bad form, but my wiki db users always have full permissions [01:43:17] slithytove2006: so if I create a new SQL user with permissions set to all, that would be a superuser - atm my SQL user has only 4 out of the possible permissions [01:43:28] yes [01:43:57] on a private server, you colud just use the root user [01:44:06] but you wont have access to that on a shared host [01:44:38] cool, thanks [01:45:07] is it recommended to keep $wgEnableProfileInfo set to false? [01:48:37] "performant"! [01:50:11] *Marybelle stabs werdnum. [01:50:48] *MrZ-man|busy makes Marybelle's knives more performant [01:52:43] ? [01:53:43] you will only need profiling in specific instances [01:54:05] Profiling tracks code execution during a page action and reports back the percentage of total code execution that was spent in any specific function.

Does someone knows where maintenance/importDump.php --uploads takes the files to upload from? The current directory? [08:14:13] Or, maybe that should be a subtree of wiki filesystem repository? [08:14:57] This part of importDump is not documented well enough.

[08:20:27] Splarka: are you on the wiki admin team? [08:22:10] the what? [08:22:31] damn [08:22:41] ahh well, looks like Unicode was a failure, we have to go back to ascii: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Please_replace_.22.E2.86.92.22_with_.22-.3E.22 [08:22:47] because one guy's phone won't show unicode [08:24:41] Splarka: I finally got the NTLM extension to work, but i found a bug in it and im going to fix it which means rewrite some of it... i wanted to ask if i can then post it in the extension as an update to it... [08:25:59] so "wiki admin team" you mean MediaWiki developers? (I am not one) [08:26:23] splarka: what is that symbol used for?? [08:26:24] (because i'm too lazy to work with php) [08:26:32] *Charitwo hides [08:26:47] slithytove2006: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)&action=history [08:27:10] see after the "bytes" in the first part of the comment, if there is a section named in grey, the symbol is there linking to that section [08:27:26] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)&diff=269960904&oldid=269951941&diffonly=true [08:27:44] also on a diff, you see it for 'next/previous' as well [08:28:16] oo [08:28:17] i see [08:29:16] is there a definition somewhere that defines what that symbol is? [08:30:07] yes, it is called unicode [08:30:14] no no [08:30:21] *smirk* [08:30:22] i mean a definition that says "use this character here" [08:30:41] yes, there is an interface message, see the thread linked to in the original sarcastic remark [08:30:50] (or, there was, might be hard coded now) [08:31:35] we could define some sort of "ascii-only" option (perhaps a skin thats is very limited (perhaps specifically designed for limited browsers like phones)) that changes characters of that nature [08:31:58] did you read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Please_replace_.22.E2.86.92.22_with_.22-.3E.22 ?

[09:25:01] line 28 on Atrribute.php [09:26:50] =) [09:27:26] Is it possible to have open account creation but not having the accounts activated before they're approved by admin? [09:27:50] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount [09:27:56] yeah [09:28:01] Curssse you, Splarka [09:28:31] the question is.. just how much do you want to let the user do it themselves [09:28:50] at one end of the spectrum is full-manual account creation, whereby you ask a sysop manually [09:28:57] at the other end is open creation [09:29:48] and there are gradients, like automated username reservation but not actually creating the account, or creating it but not actually being able to use it, or creating it and being able to change preferences but little else, ... until the sysop approves it [09:30:07] lo [09:30:08] awww [09:30:15] do they never stop asking? [09:30:15] ConfirmAccount is somewhere in the middle, but is basically an aggrandized manual-request system IIRC [09:30:28] rar Nikerabbit [09:30:47] :D [09:30:55] something odd happened... I've upgraded from 1.10 to 1.13 and after the upgrade everything was fine... was just editing a few pages... then I hit save and suddenly no more skin... :( [09:31:13] do you have pretty URLs? [09:31:14] already tried clearing cache, restarting the browser, multilpe browser and so on [09:31:25] yeah I have redirects... [09:31:30] is that bad? [09:31:38] is your stylepath relative or absolute? [09:31:41] Splarka: I don't want anyone to see the content of the wiki without being approved by an admin [09:32:06] !man Preventing_access [09:32:06] --mwbot-- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access [09:32:24] But free account creation is still preferred [09:32:28] EivindJ: then you probably want Extension:ConfirmAccount and wgWhitelistRead Special:RequestAccount [09:32:48] oh [09:32:48] Splarka, hmm where can I check that? [09:33:07] thing is I inherited this from a diff admin [09:33:21] I moved it to a new box and did an upgrade which went without a prob [09:33:38] EivindJ: well, in that case, you might want to remove the user's right to read... ['user']['read'] = false as well as edit... and then have sysops able to grant the right to promote users to 'editors' [09:33:46] ruskie: can you link to it? [09:34:12] hmm [09:34:20] EivindJ: in that way, they can create accounts, but then can't do anything with them, until approved/promoted [09:34:24] Splarka: That's a great idea! I'll create a user group called approved users! [09:34:30] or something .... [09:34:38] and just remove read from users :D [09:34:40] hmm I can link to it [09:34:44] be sure to disable read AND edit for all ['user'] though [09:34:51] hmm or not... [09:35:00] Splarka: ok [09:35:08] but how could they ever edit when they can't read? [09:35:10] ruskie: okay, view a page source, look for something like: [09:35:11]
