[00:12:03] Hello, I got a problem while installing MediaWiki with Nginx, can someone help me, please ? http://mw.powi.fr/mw-config/index.php [00:13:22] firepowi: that looks like a php configuration error [00:13:25] https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/php-session-start-errors.2265346/ suggests checking your php.ini [00:24:12] What should it be ? [00:24:13] Oh, I see a wiki to install MediaWiki on ArchLinux. [00:24:13] firepowi: session.save_handler should be set to "files", I'm guessing it's set to "file" (missing s) [00:24:13] You know what ? [00:24:13] This is EXACTLY it ! [00:24:13] oh? [00:24:13] Should I restart something ? [00:24:13] (I forgot the s) [00:24:13] yeah, you'll need to restart nginx [00:24:14] Oh, I don’t have access to php.ini via ftp ^_^' [00:24:14] (read access, but not write access) [00:24:15] It still seek "file" [00:28:48] Something wrong… What’s "save handler" ? [03:07:49] !wg UseSiteCSS [03:07:50] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgUseSiteCSS [06:38:47] oh wow, the history feed now has pretty diff styling too [06:43:11] !wg wgDisableSearchUpdate [06:43:11] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgwgDisableSearchUpdate [06:43:19] !wg DisableSearchUpdate [06:43:19] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgDisableSearchUpdate [06:43:24] * legoktm lazy [06:44:37] Elastica does not have a REL1_23 branch...? [06:51:24] Filed https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67270 [06:51:34] I hope Elastica master works. [07:34:33] legoktm: Since when did anything have up to date release branches? [07:34:52] * legoktm cries [07:35:05] I was at least expecting a branch :P [07:38:20] JeroenDeDauw: hi [07:38:29] thanks for merging https://github.com/JeroenDeDauw/Maps/pull/40/files [07:38:57] now that I think of it, it may not actually be that great [07:39:37] "Show a dialog from which the coordinates of a location when clicking something" doesn't really make sense, but I'm not sure what to write there [07:40:46] Is there a guide on how to branch (and then update the branchs) in gerrit? [07:44:15] you can just do it from the admin console [07:44:55] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/mediawiki/extensions/AccountAudit,branches [07:45:06] at the bottom (maybe if you have access) there's a Create branch interface [07:45:20] but, REL1_* branches should be created automatically. [08:38:58] legoktm: Sure, you can create them, but to update them you have to delete and recreate them... also logging into gerrit is lame ;) [09:04:13] hey guys [09:04:39] i just downloaded the latest version of media wiki [09:04:46] its missing the file that this page talks about: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parser_tests [09:04:54] namely "tests/parser/parserTests.txt" [09:08:24] Works for me: $ find . -name parserTests.txt [09:08:25] ./tests/parser/parserTests.txt [09:08:56] Nemo_bis, that's weird, i don't have a tests folder [09:09:07] i tried running that search, it didn't come up with anything [09:09:21] Where did you download MediaWiki? [09:09:39] (Mine is git master.) [09:11:41] Nemo_bis, sorry my internet dropped out [09:11:53] but yeah I just grabbed it from http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download [09:12:42] I have no idea if the tarball is supposed to ship tests [09:13:52] If you're developing something, you shouldn't use the tarball. But if you must/prefer use the tarball and it lacks what you need, please file a bug. [09:14:01] (will repost when they're back) [09:14:11] Nemo_bis, how are you supposed to download a complete package? [09:14:41] [[Download from Git]] tells [09:14:53] essentially all im trying to do is invoke the parser from a seperate program and have it return all the html to that program [09:14:55] (Though I was not aware of the tarball being incomplete) [09:15:05] hm [09:15:11] Good luck with that :P [09:15:41] reason for it, is i'm trying to generate a markov chain which represents the structure of sentences in wiki [09:16:07] i need to convert all the articles to plain english text and throw away all the markup and such [09:16:26] classic [09:16:28] its easier to do that with the html rather than the markup they use [09:16:39] Did you look into parsoid? [09:16:54] Assuming you're talking of Wikipedias [09:17:38] You can also download neat packages of compressed HTML for several Wikipedias from http://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia/ and read them with zimreader [09:18:43] And see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Parse [09:25:09] You can also access https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid#The_Parsoid_web_API directly if you prefer [09:26:35] how do I get a "ParserOptions" class? [14:46:36] Hi [14:46:41] Anyone able to do a technical text for me [14:47:06] Sometimes I've found that when doing {{subst:Template}} within Can someone come use a sandbox and confirm this is just my poor typing and not a wider isssue? [14:47:53] Qcoder00: it doesn't work, known bug [14:48:00] OK [14:48:01] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2700 [14:48:04] Least I know [14:48:06] very old too :) [14:48:51] Well I thought it might not... after all Wikipedia is markup not full blown typsetting ala Tex [14:50:35] Something I also have as a wishlist is an #expand: magic word [14:50:48] Subst does a straight search and replace... [14:50:54] #expand: would be more involved [14:51:28] As it would parse and only give the template output for the reveleant params... subst puts the ENTIRITY of the template text [14:51:40] (It doesn't process down as such.) [17:17:01] Hi [17:18:14] When I type this https://dpaste.de/PMh4 in my console on the page https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/voiture , I don't see an alert() . Someone understand? [17:19:07] Automatik: works for me [17:22:21] ok, thanks, actually I was using the scratchpad and it was apparently associated to an other tab... tks :) [17:34:00] Hello, I’ve got an error, while installing MediaWiki : "Error starting session: session_start(): Cannot find save handler '/var/lib/php/sessions' - session startup failed", I don’t think this is a rights problem. [17:34:42] drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 29 juin 03:41 var – drwxr-xr-x 39 root root 4096 16 mai 14:16 lib – drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 16 mai 14:16 php – drwxrw-rw- 2 http http 4096 29 juin 03:23 sessions [17:36:35] And I tried to change session.save_handler to /tmp… [17:37:07] And the message was the same, replacing '/var/lib/php/sessions' to '/tmp' [17:37:38] firepowi: It seems an error in php.ini [17:38:00] maybe you changed session.save_handler instead of session.save_path ? [17:38:50] Oh, yes… Maybe, what should be the value of "session.save_handler" ? [17:39:38] empty, unless you know what are you doing :) [17:40:13] Ok. [17:40:24] It’s now void. [17:40:54] well, looking at the PHP manual, it says it defaults to "files" [17:40:56] Error starting session: session_start(): Cannot find save handler - session startup failed [17:41:35] Oh, IT WORK ! [17:41:40] * firepowi kiss Vulpix. [17:41:41] set it to "files" then. Or maybe try commenting out that line [17:41:57] you're welcome, I guess :D [17:48:25] Who use sqlite for MediaWiki ? [18:00:30] if you expect your wiki to grow eventually (many articles, several concurrent users), don't use sqlite [20:16:36] Hi, I have a wiki farm running on 1.23.0 and php 5.4.4. The wiki's use CentralAuth and the upgrade is now done. While everything looks fine, centralauth is broken: /wiki/index.php?title=Speciaal%3ACentraalAanmelden&target=Southparkfan Exception from line 578 of /path/to/wiki/extensions/CentralAuth/specials/SpecialCentralAuth.php: Invalid wiki: metawiki [20:17:17] in both centralauth and localsettings.php settings I use another db than metawiki. But it seems centralauth can't "live" on another database? [20:18:07] I don't use memcached or something like that [20:20:04] and the upgrade is now done. <- I mean upgrade to 1.23.1 from 1.23.0 [20:54:54] I'm [trying] to create a new mediawiki site. I like the concept of the boxes like mediawiki's own site, but I don't know how to do that. Is there any markup for that? Can you please provide me links/just the name of the concept? I've tried tables, but they didn't look very nice... is there any special tool for that or is it just CSS? [20:55:19] Penguin_: yes, you can create [20:57:00] Pecochhoofd, what? (If you're still typing, no need to reply...) [21:03:45] Also, is there a list of special pages? [21:03:52] special:specialpages [21:04:00] the thing is called infobox [21:04:43] and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Import is your friend to copy stuff. [21:05:51] Nemo_biz, specialpages:specialpages doesn't return things like the disclaimer page and such. There seems to be a lot of stubs on the wiki not related to the actual content and just wanted to see if I could get the admin to change some stuff (and I could draft some things) [21:06:05] As far as the infobox, is that what's used on the homepage? [21:06:30] I'm sorry, I thought I said it was a homepage [21:06:49] But, I was going to ask about infoboxes in a bit anyway, so no wasted time :) [21:07:06] the disclaimer is not a special page [21:07:19] It isn't? [21:07:59] When I search for "There is currently no text in this page." it doesn't turn up [21:08:25] That's not the disclaimer [21:08:38] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Page_customizations [21:08:52] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Special_pages [21:09:02] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:System_message [21:09:10] Help:Templates [21:09:16] * http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates [21:09:35] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces [21:09:48] Some introductory material to let people understand you when you talk. [21:25:59] Nemo_bis, thanks for those links. Anyway, I'm still not sure what the homepage boxes are called. I can't figure out how they are done. [21:26:22] I can get the layout, just not the styling
