Just ask the question, and someone will help you if they can. See also: !gethelp [10:46:17] mwbot2: Before I ask I always check if everyone is just idling. [10:46:37] As you know 99% of the irc users are just on idle.. so shall I talk to the wall when everyone is away? ;) [10:47:44] cYbercOsmOnauT: Yes, IRC is an asyncronous way of communicating [10:47:57] but okay.. here is my question: AFAIK Mediawiki replaces underscores in Usernames with Spaces. So for example when I login as t_test, the User at the DB is t test [10:48:14] But I have a brigde to phpBB and there is the username like I login -> t_test [10:48:28] When I use the phpBB->Mediawiki bridge I can login on both systems. [10:48:56] But.. when I user Auth_phpBB he always tells me "Invalid username specified" because the username on the Mediawiki DB is t_test and not t test [10:49:15] So all I need is to allow underscores in Mediawiki usernames [10:49:24] Not possible. [10:49:32] Or at least, tricky. [10:49:33] Never say never Simetrical [10:49:45] Underscores are equivalent to spaces in page names. [10:50:00] Like I said when I use the bridge that I have on phpBB it is easily possible. I just want to use the login screen of mediawiki too. [10:50:03] Plus, all the code everywhere is probably hardcoded to assume usernames can't have underscores. [10:50:36] but they can :) [10:50:43] Not in MediaWiki. [10:50:48] You probably should arrange it so that the bridge has the user named "t test" on MediaWiki if they're "t_test" on phpBB. [10:51:05] For a start, you could try messing with various methods in includes/User.php, but I don't think it will end well. [10:51:10] When I add a user t_test on phpBB and at the Mediawiki DB and then login over phpBB I am logged in as t_test on both systems [10:51:28] How do you add the user to MediaWiki? Manually adding to the database? [10:51:34] I am trying since many days and went through User.php, Title.php SpecialUserlogin.php ... [10:51:38] Also see includes/specials/SpecialUserlogin.php, that's relevant. [10:51:39] Ah. [10:51:40] Manually (: [10:51:46] So you're already doing it. [10:51:50] How well does it work? [10:51:50] sure [10:52:02] I would never come and ask without trying like hell [10:52:30] Okay, so what's your actual question? [10:52:41] How to make it finally possible :) [10:52:45] Maybe I missed something [10:53:36] As I said, it's likely to be hardcoded all over the place. [10:54:00] You're going to have to do more thorough debugging yourself, I can't magically figure out what you missed from you just asking the question. [10:54:29] I guess I know which way I will go next [10:54:56] I know that the login is possible over the phpBB->Mediawiki bridge. So I need to bend the mediawiki login to the phpBB login and do it from there [10:55:19] I guess this will be alot easier than "raping" alot mediawiki scripts :D [10:55:26] You're still going to have problems. [10:55:33] Stuff not recognizing the current username, things not working. [10:55:59] If you get anything that actually ends up being usable, you could file a bug and submit a patch allowing your changes to be enabled optionally. [10:56:32] usernames must also be a valid page title, and page titles normalize to spaces, so you'd have to redo how mediawiki handles page titles... heh [10:56:38] IMO it's going to be a lot easier for the phpBB bridge to not assume the users will have the same names on the wiki and forum, and just maintain a table with userid <-> userid mappings. [10:57:20] yes that is also an idea.. if someone is regged on phpBB as t_test I need to add him as t test on mediawiki [10:57:36] Page titles normalize to underscores or spaces depending on how you're using them, but the point is that they're treated interchangeably. Having a user "Foo_bar" plus a user "Foo bar" is going to be a big problem. They'll share the same talk page and so on. [10:57:43] and at the login I need to str_replace('_', ' ', $username); before I use the mediawiki login methods [10:57:44] and conflicts... Foo__bar would be the same as Foo_bar when converted [10:58:09] cYbercOsmOnauT, no. Doesn't work if you have a phpBB user named "t test" as well as one named "t_test". [10:58:11] You'd get conflicts. [10:58:27] That is no problem [10:58:29] Make an arbitrary mapping. If a user creates an account on phpBB that won't work on MediaWiki, just ask them to pick a MediaWiki name. [10:58:32] the board is a closed one [10:58:44] only the admin can add new users.. nooone can register on his own [10:58:48] -o [10:58:55] Well, that does simplify things. [10:59:02] yes.. kinda :) [10:59:07] *Simetrical has been thinking about writing a MediaWiki-vBulletin bridge for his site for a long time. [10:59:12] *Simetrical has thought about this. [10:59:28] It's a board for betatesters of a known company ;) [10:59:47] they don't want any lurkers or guests [11:01:14] "Hmm, Wikipedia is popular, I like the site, lets get one. Send a developer monkey to install it, pay any price" "but it is free sir" "Shut up, no such thing" "Also, lets make it closed" "And nobody else can edit it, yes!" "And we'll have them use our styleshets" "Also the language is funky, lets completely change it" "Yes, and do away with the clumsy form interface" "Also, lets change the username restrictions" [11:02:02] *Splarka wonders what is up with people thinking that simply using Wikipedia's software is a magical adventure [11:02:38] Attempting to integrate logins is perfectly reasonable. [11:02:56] didn't say it wasn't [11:02:57] MediaWiki has extremely restrictive logins compared to most software, because they need to work as page titles and page titles need to work in wikisyntax. [11:03:38] but how many times have you seen people coming in here with tales of woe.. "my boss wants MediaWiki installed asap! Also I have these insane restrictions" [11:04:10] and often they are restrictions which lead one to believe that mediawiki is very much not the best solution in many cases [11:04:33] (not saying that is the case here, but it sure has been before) [11:04:55] Usually the restrictions aren't insane, they just aren't in line with what MediaWiki is currently capable of.

Thanks. [12:23:39] Jormungand: not really [12:28:39] Could you be more definite, please ? [12:33:58] you can use GD instead of imagemagick [12:34:02] but the quality will be lower [12:34:58] I will try, thanks a lot [12:40:30] it's not only thumbnails... everything that requires shell is not working [12:40:50] which for most users is only thumbnails [12:47:36] 03(NEW) native name of Zhuang language in interlanguage links - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18864 minor; Normal; Wikimedia: Interwiki links; (huangjinghai1988) [13:01:55] 03(mod) Problem with Interface translation - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18578 (10niklas.laxstrom) [13:02:48] 03(mod) RevisionDelete should have a MediaWiki -dropdown page, and dropdown menu for common revision deletion reasons - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18862 (10mikelifeguard) [13:02:53] 03(mod) RevDelete/HideUser (tracking) - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18840 (10mikelifeguard) [13:07:44] 03(mod) native name of Zhuang language in interlanguage links - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18864 (10niklas.laxstrom) [13:11:33] 03(mod) Undefined messages in user language don't fall back to MediaWiki: customizations - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1495 (10niklas.laxstrom) [13:16:10] 03(mod) Separate messages 'prevn', 'nextn' - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4777 (10niklas.laxstrom) [13:18:35] 03(mod) Add a preference option to disable $wgTranslateNumerals when using a language with digit transforms - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14145 (10N/A) [13:22:49] TimStarling: didn't you play with some taing thing for checking unescaped output? could it be used to detect unescaped messages passed to output? [13:23:15] like $wgOut->addHTML( wfMsg( 'foo' ) ); [13:23:20] taint, presumably, rather than taing [13:23:31] typo [13:24:00] (does taing mean anything?) [13:24:18] yes it could check for that [13:24:35] the main problem with it was that some built-in functions were not propagating taints [13:24:47] I think maybe call_user_func was one of them [13:25:10] so you'd pass user data through call_user_func and it'd declare the result clean [13:25:56] so there's a good chance the taints on wfMsg() would be lost somewhere between the database and addHTML [13:26:51] if we had automated tests we could run, you could patch wfMsg() to manually set the taint bit, then you could run the tests and see if you get a taint warning [13:27:29] or you could do the tests with your browser, if you were really keen [13:28:12] 03yaron * r50852 10/trunk/extensions/ReplaceText/SpecialReplaceText.php: [13:28:12] Fixed handling of namespaces, including propagating them if user needs to [13:28:12] confirm a choice [13:29:16] 03yaron * r50853 10/trunk/extensions/ReplaceText/ReplaceText.i18n.php: Added 'replacetext_nonamespace' value [13:30:24] just checking my emails, it was actually array_map() that lost the taint flags, not call_user_func() [13:36:24] 03yaron * r50854 10/trunk/extensions/SemanticResultFormats/Outline/ (.

[13:41:45] are you using the blacklist from meta.wikimedia.org? [13:42:14] I suppose so, it's the default [13:42:25] Tim, let me see [13:43:04] Tim, I'm fetching it from http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spam_blacklist&action=raw , and extracting the part between

and

tags [13:44:27] TimStarling: I can show you the script I use to fetch the blacklist and copy into the wiki source tree [13:44:52] funny thing to do [13:45:11] you realise SpamBlacklist has a built-in method to fetch the list from a remote URL and cache it in the database? [13:45:40] heh [13:45:45] no I did not, or if I did know that it wasn't working as expected for me (when I installed it first, a couple of years ago) [13:46:27] in any case, I don't think that's the issue, as the error I'm getting is about 'repeated subpattern to long' [13:46:40] is there a PHP option I can flip to allow longer repeated subpatterns? [13:47:00] I very much doubt it [13:47:16] what version of the extension are you using? [13:47:20] seriously, the spam on my wiki is getting out of control. New (apparently spammer) accounts are being created within minutes of my cleaning up the wiki [13:47:24] one sec [13:47:32] it should really be splitting it into sections of far less than 167KB [13:47:39] Use a captcha? [13:48:18] TimStarling: where would a find a reference to the SpamBlacklist version? [13:48:29] Special:Version ? [13:48:57] RoanKattouw: not a bad idea, though I wonder if it will help much, [13:49:09] stwalkerster: it doesn't show the SpamBlacklist version there [13:49:52] TimStarling: Does the fact that your test run of the rotation script just now mean that you're gonna be catching up on schema change backlog soonish? [13:50:05] Also, will it make applying schema changes less painful? [13:50:18] *crosses fingers* [13:50:48] xeeble: it's only ever been distributed by svn afaik [13:50:58] there aren't any version numbers [13:51:26] TimStarling: Gotcha. Apparently I last fetched it in 2007 so maybe it's time for a refetch from svn [13:51:31] thx for the tip [13:51:43] 2007 was a while ago [13:51:59] yeah let me refetch and reinstall the extension [13:52:02] one sec [13:52:19] Use a captcha? [13:52:26] maybe he wants blind people to be able to edit his wiki [13:52:32] Yeah maybe [13:52:36] TimStarling: nope [13:52:36] It was just a suggestion :) [13:52:47] TimStarling: Does the fact that your test run of the rotation script just now mean that you're gonna be catching up on schema change backlog soonish? [13:52:49] no [13:52:59] :( [13:53:00] I would eschew blind people to keep out the spammers. Unfortunately [13:53:02] well, no promises anyway [13:53:31] 03yaron * r50858 10/trunk/extensions/SemanticResultFormats/Outline/SRF_Outline.php: Fixed some PHP problems [13:55:11] since when can you fix PHP's problems by committing to some random SMW extension? [13:56:37] Come on Tim, did nobody tell you that semantic is the answer to everything? [13:58:57] which extension should I use for the captcha ? [13:59:29] oh, I guess that's to RoanKattouw and TimStarling [13:59:38] !e ConfirmEdit | xeeble [13:59:38] --mwbot-- xeeble: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit [14:02:06] Q: Can I have mediawiki show times in local time, instead of GMT? [14:02:31] 'local time' meaning the timezone on the server? [14:04:08] hi, how are the best pratices or approaches available to treat simultaneous editing? [14:04:31] There's automatic conflict resolution if possible, otherwise manual conflict resolution. [14:05:17] how is that available to editors? [14:05:33] mediawiki shows some kind of warning about it? [14:06:47] i though about 2 different users opening the same page for editing, after one finishing its changes, some seconds next the other also click save [14:07:03] to me seems that the page that will be showed is the last one [14:07:17] and the first editor will get his/her changes lost [14:07:23] or I'm wrong? [14:07:29] cps0: open two web bowsers and try it [14:07:47] Simetrical: answered your question pretty clearly, I thought [14:08:10] If the second change is made to a different line, the changes will automatically be merged. [14:08:25] If the two changes are made to different lines, the second editor is given a warning on page save and needs to manually resolve the issue. [14:08:39] MediaWiki tracks when you started editing, and automatically detects any possibility of conflict. [14:09:15] cool, the merge approach seem ideal to me. i liked it [14:09:40] I'm seeing that users are being sent a wiki 'e-mail address confirmation', but apparently the account is created whether or not they confirm the email. Am I missing a configuration option? [14:09:58] it is also true for the discussion pages? [14:10:01] cps0, all pages. [14:10:08] xeeble, by default, users are permitted to edit without a valid e-mail address. [14:10:22] You can configure MediaWiki to require an e-mail address to edit. [14:10:23] ok, thanks [14:10:27]
