[01:19:27] anyone here? [01:24:39] nope [01:25:01] how do you set a default skin for all users of a wiki [01:25:18] $wgDefaultSkin = 'standard'; [01:25:22] in LocalSettings.php?

[01:26:58] both [01:27:29] The first sets the default; the second will change the existing preferences [01:27:50] would i run the second from anywhere in the command line? [01:28:07] and the "standard" would be replaced by what ever the name of the skin's folder is?

[17:22:21] Hello! [17:27:52] Sean_Colombo: hmm [17:27:55] After digging into that warning a bit... [17:28:02] which version of php? [17:28:04] it appears that somewhere, we're passing a Title object into it [17:28:10] ummm... [17:28:29] php 5.1.6 [17:29:14] yeah it is likely to throw those [17:29:44] if you look at line 1141, it's the SECOND call to urlencode that's causing the problem (the urlencode($value)) [17:30:06] your php is pretty old, you should probably upgrade [17:30:35] i tried to upgrade to 5.2 and the site didn't run at all [17:30:37] still, we claim to support 5.x [17:30:48] so it should be fixed or requirements upped [17:30:54] Yeah, except some 5.0.x versions that have weird bugs [17:31:05] But this doesn't sound like a PHP version issue [17:31:17] RoanKattouw: it is [17:31:33] 5.2.1 or something started using automatically __toString [17:31:38] Right... [17:31:45] Do we actually rely on that anywhere else? [17:31:58] not that i've noticed yet ;) [17:31:58] rely on what? [17:32:00] I'll let u know if i run into that [17:32:08] Automatically __toString()ing stuff [17:32:10] there are few places where titles are passed as such [17:32:15] so, when a Title is passed into wfArrayToCGI as a value, we just call __toString on it? [17:32:34] Well we're *supposed* to, but we seem to assume that PHP does that for us [17:32:46] Which it only started doing since 5.2.1 (which is retarded, BTW) [17:34:24] I run CentOS, and 5.2 isn't the official version of PHP there yet (ie: yum doesn't show it... gotta add some special repos to find it) [17:34:38] i wonder if there is a reason they're holding back? [17:34:45] Wonder why, PHP's at 5.3 already [17:34:57] hmm, weird [17:35:14] sooooo [17:35:31] upgrading would be cool for me because about once per month, a PHP 5.1 bug causes APC to crash... [17:35:44] but if MW is supposed to support 5.1, we should probably fix these warnings [17:35:44] heh, one more reason to upgrade [17:36:09] I'll fix that particular warning right now [17:36:18] coolness, thanks [17:38:54] 03catrope * r49428 10/trunk/phase3/includes/GlobalFunctions.php: Fix warning in PHP 5.1 when feeding Title objects to wfArrayToCGI().

[19:35:30] Luca's blame maps are an annotation of the current revision [19:35:48] micahf: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/Skin.php?view=annotate for example [19:35:49] is that where this problem comes up for mediawiki? [19:35:50] they don't store diffs for each revision [19:36:13] it's a separate data structure that's updated with each edit [19:36:17] ouch [19:38:52] that's cool [19:39:24] and yeah, that's roughly what I'm trying to do, except that my text won't be code so it won't be neatly separable into lines [19:40:41] although I was thinking it would be useful to separate it into sentences [19:40:41] or even paragraphs [19:41:52] AFAIK the diff engine and edit conflict merge logic work mostly with the linebreaks inside the raw wikicode, which in practical terms usually means paragraphs [19:43:30] 03raymond * r49431 10/trunk/extensions/ (89 files in 83 dirs): Localisation updates for extension messages from translatewiki.net (2009-04-12 18:56 UTC) [19:47:00] Splarka: well right now I'm considering using meta tags or something to keep track of the relevant pieces and then storing them in the database in a way that preserves relationships [19:48:17] then, upon editing, the server will compare the new version to the old and decide which pieces need a new version [19:48:48] eep, sounds expensive and messy [19:49:32] although that sounds a little heavy on the database [19:53:51] right [19:55:03] maybe I should just focus on grouping discussions based on quotes in a smart way, so if multiple people referenced roughly the same part of the text, the server would put their comments in the same discussion [19:55:10] How can I add custom text to the footer? [19:55:36] Is it possible? [19:56:57] I want to add something like "logo created by _link_" [19:57:00] TimStarling: is it still a goal to get trust colouring to the point where Wikimedia can use it? [20:01:23] !footer | EpicReviews [20:01:23] --mwbot-- EpicReviews: For changing the page footer, see the FAQ (!) . More information at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Footer and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning#Footer [20:03:34] I read all those but it doesn't say anything about adding custom text [20:03:56] only adding other stuff like copyrights, page views, etc [20:06:34] but can I just type in stuff to add it in the footer? [20:07:24] Splarka: it doesn't have to be that heavy if I begin to merge discussions as the text changes, for instance if an entire portion of a paragraph was changed such that the original pieces no longer existed, the server would merge the discussions to a new one dealing with the entire paragraph [20:07:41] so I'm versioning discussions along side the text [20:08:01] and merging them as they become less specifically relevant [20:08:12] does that make sense? [20:11:48] I seriously don't get where I can add my own text in the footer [20:11:57] I've read all the materials in the FAQ and stuff [20:17:27] No one want to help me with adding custom text in the footer? [20:17:57] Epic: the footer isn't really made for that [20:18:16] Well, I'd like to give credit to this cool guy who made our logo for free [20:18:29] And I want to do it on every page if possible [20:18:53] Do you have any alternative ideas? [20:19:50] hmm, you could set a tool tip on the logo [20:21:06] I'd prefer some kind of actual text though [20:22:04] well, you could use CSS and/or JS, or use a hook in a custom extension to insert text... [20:22:26] Does it really have to be that complicated? [20:23:02] no, but if you edit your skin files you have to manually merge them every time you upgrade, so it is not advised [20:23:31] How often do upgrades come out? [20:23:59] "quarterly" which means 3 to 6 months, with security patches more often [20:25:31] 03(mod) Enable the AbuseFilter on the Alemannic Wikipedia [alswiki] - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18415 (10Wiki.Melancholie) [20:26:24] Well, how would I edit the skin? [20:27:29] you'd edit skins/MonoBook.php (help generally not supported here, you'll just get "you shouldn't have edited that") [20:27:59] oh ok then I won't do that [20:28:00] the better and/or more complicated route is something like an extension hook, possibly: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/BeforePageDisplay [20:28:12] *sigh* [20:28:38] how long do you think it will take me to create it? [20:28:46] (no experience) [20:29:16] dunno, I dunno php ^_^ [20:29:27] oh god php is my weakness [20:29:55] there are a bunch of hooks at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks but none really seem suitable to editing the footer [20:30:10] that's what I was gonna ask too... [20:31:08] you could make it as simple as a line of CSS... something:after (content: "Logo designed by John Smith"), no link possible though [20:31:42] darn I wanna link this guy [20:31:55] oh well I guess I can just put a link on front page... [20:32:02] you could put it in the sidebar, much easier [20:32:26] like right below the logo... edit MediaWiki:Sidebar, and above * navigation add: [20:32:26] so like, right below logo? [20:32:29] * logo [20:32:44] ** Project:Logo_credits|Logo designed by John Smith [20:32:57] and you could even style it in CSS, add a background image, whatnot [20:33:28] so would that be a template? [20:33:39] nope, the Sidebar is a bit unique [20:33:59] where do i edit it? [20:34:01] see the source of http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Sidebar?action=edit and compare to what you see below the logo [20:34:11] er... except test seems down [20:34:19] see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Sidebar?action=edit instead [20:35:46] that helps me with another question too [20:36:49] so what would the URL be on mine?

I uploaded mediawiki to the website, but when I go to the config file to create my wiki, it says "Can't write config file, aborting" and says i need to make the config file writable by the server [20:50:17] go to your file manager and change the permissions of the file [20:51:21] if you're logged in as the admin you should have the 'editinterface' right, check Special:ListGroupRights and ListUsers to make sure you are a 'sysop' [20:52:18] I'm confused but I KNOW I'm sysop [20:52:23] I'm the only member atm [20:52:47] On that page I see "message" "disscussion" "create" and "watch" tabs [20:55:17] Thanks, I got it to work [20:55:21] So would I hit create?

[22:00:36] what's the problem exactly? [22:01:20] with the classic configuration, to use an external image, a user must upload it manuallay, and then use [[File:myImage.jpg]] [22:02:04] and i'd like to know if there's a way to use, for example [[File:http://www.example.com/mImage]] and make the upload automaticly [22:03:15] berga: no [22:03:31] damn [22:03:32] :) [22:03:36] you can allow external images to be used directly, or you can allow images to be uploaded from Special:Upload from a URL [22:03:45] !externalimages [22:03:45] --mwbot-- To allow images from elsewhere to be included in your wiki, see .
