[02:18:52] Hello, can anyone tell me what "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/e/e6" means when trying to upload a file? [02:19:19] theatrex: what is the rest of the error code? [02:21:33] Ahhh wait. Looks like a permissions issue. [02:22:23] theatrex: that is quite often the issue, if the upload directory permissions are not set right [02:22:31] It says it can't create a directory in "FOOBAR/images/e/e6" and it says "mode 0777" after it. [02:23:15] !upload [02:23:15] File uploads are disabled by default, set $wgEnableUploads=true; to enable it. See for configuration details, and for using uploaded images and other files. [02:23:39] theatrex: see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads#Check_directory_security [02:25:41] Yay! It works! :D [02:26:00] Also, where do I go to modify the allowed file size to upload? [02:27:01] Oh wait nevermind. I found it on that same page :P [02:38:11] Is there a way to make clamav scan a file as it's uploading? [02:58:09] Hmm, I set my php.ini file to allow 5MB files to upload but the Wiki isn't changing. Do I have to run the update script? [03:04:18] theatrex: try $wgMaxUploadSize [03:04:22] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgMaxUploadSize [03:05:24] Ah-ha! Thanks man! :) [03:12:09] I don't have to make an array, right? I can just put the equivalent of 5MB in kb form right? [03:18:59] Huh. It still isn't changing o.O [03:24:59] try update.script? [03:44:17] That's what I thought :P [03:46:01] Now it says 5 bytes o.O [05:44:44] I’m having an... interesting problem trying to transwiki a template. [05:45:22] More specifically, it’s an older version of {{Infobox election}} that doesn’t rely on the InfoboxImage module. When I edit it into the wiki, the candidate images aren’t displayed on an election page, only their filenames. What have I done wrong, and how might I fix it? [05:48:12] i have no idea sorry, but may you know if the order of instalation with composer is important... do extensions load all dependencies them self or how does this composer work? [05:48:44] My wikifarm doesn’t have the relevant extensions installed; that’s why I looked for an old version of the template. [05:51:06] Carl_Miller: are the images you're trying to use on your wiki? [05:51:38] Some of them are, but they aren’t showing up [05:55:10] * Carl_Miller goes around the problem by setting up a new wiki that isn’t on a farm [06:01:10] http://safiria.byethost33.com/w/index.php/Safirian_general_election,_2528 ...And now I’ve opened an even bigger can of worms. Halp? [06:04:47] I’m also getting errors akin to “[d96e5ed9] 2014-12-22 06:04:26: Fatal exception of type MWException” whenever I try to save a module [06:08:33] Anyone? D: [06:09:51] horrible ... i have no idea [06:10:58] sorry ... but i am also new to all this and i also get strange stuff ...may you just install and uninstall things in different order until it works or i dont know [06:14:40] i have installed a voting extension ... it looks very cool in the examples ... but i get only this ... [06:14:48] Strict Standards: Declaration of VotingSpecial::execute() should be compatible with RoutedSpecialPage::execute($params, $setHeaders = false, $disableOutput = false) in C:\mediawiki\extensions\Voting\pages\VotingSpecial\VotingSpecial.php on line 12 [06:14:59] could mean any thing to me :( [06:16:08] i did try to uninstall it and reinstall it with the composer ... serval times ... i thoght maybe in a different order or so could solve things ... but i still ge only this error [06:16:56] i dont know maybe its just a early version or may i am doin things wrong [06:17:14] So for some reason, my Wiki is acting up and won't let me upload more than 5MB even though I set it to. [06:17:30] (I was here earlier and left to concentrate on this issue :P) [06:18:04] I guess Softaculous just screwed up, then. [06:18:07] may there is a setting in the settings.php about upload size? i dont know? ... there are settings about upload filetypes ... this i know already [06:18:49] I've configured both php.ini files and LocalSettings to upload 5MB. But when I go to my upload page, it says the maximum is 5bytes. [06:19:29] may you try to add some zeros in the settings :)) [06:19:37] like 5000? [06:19:47] Well I literally put "5MB" in the string. [06:19:53] I can try 5000. [06:21:19] also keep in mind ... one settings file may accepts 5MB but may a other accepty a other format as 5000 or may they all accept both formats ;)) .... i would give it a try ;)) [06:21:32] Doing that now :P [06:21:33] * Carl_Miller reinstalls his wiki manuallyu [06:21:36] manually * [06:22:04] Now it says 5KB [06:22:09] -flips desk- [06:22:35] ok add some zeros more :)) [06:22:41] * Carl_Miller disqualifies theatrex [06:23:18] Hmm. It's working. [06:23:46] i think there is a way to calculate it ... some thing like 1024*5 or some thing like that ... but i think you can find also a suitable value by guessing it ;) [06:23:54] Now it won't go past 2MB o.O [06:23:58] What the crap. [06:24:11] 5MB = 5242880 bytes or 5120 KB [06:24:52] wow yeah ... a big number ... copy paste it ... may it works :D [06:25:10] maybe* [06:25:31] Still won't go past 2MB for some reason. [06:25:41] !enableuploads [06:25:41] There is no such key, you probably want to try: !upload, [06:25:45] !upload [06:25:45] File uploads are disabled by default, set $wgEnableUploads=true; to enable it. See for configuration details, and for using uploaded images and other files. [06:26:54] Where do I go to configure licenses by the way? Like the little licenses drop-down menu on the upload page? [06:27:05] Good question [06:29:36] theatrex: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings#Copyright [06:29:43] did you check virtual hosts conf about the uploadsize [06:29:56] In apache? [06:30:03] they say so [06:30:21] Lemme look. [06:30:46] php_value upload_max_filesize 20M php_value post_max_size 20M works also in .htaccess [06:30:59] they say ... may you try ? :)) [06:31:24] Yeah but that's for shared hosting though? [06:31:34] maybe* [06:32:29] the title says "Set maximum size for file uploads" [06:33:48] i dont know ... was just a idea ... may you have overseen some thing ... i dont know ;) [06:35:30] there are also special settings for wikis in a farm about the upload size ... what ever such a farm should be :)) [06:37:39] they also say some thing like $wgUploadSizeWarning = 2147483647; $wgMaxUploadSize = 2147483647; will allow 2GB uploads and additional settings in php ini are needed [06:38:04] may you have to chech this Warning value too? [06:39:52] but they also have information about server settings iis or what ever and apache ... so you maybe also have to check the server settings [06:40:40] Yeah lots of weird settings. [06:41:46] yeah ... but who knows ... may its worth it ;) [07:51:42] some extensions say they are only installable with composer but composer has his own autoloader so what can i do with this? ... this looks nice ... but i guess if i try this i have to get over this composer and so i have to kick the extensions out which are only installable via composer as they say? [07:51:53] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family#Scenario_2:_Quick_set-up [07:52:18] i guess its not in the idea of composer [08:07:19] what is the best way to install extensions? [08:11:21] andre__: who can check https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85124 please? [09:08:38] Rabutz: I guess you mean that you want to enable/disable extensions per site? Then composer is not for you [09:28:17] hi. anyone where to get the source of KiwiIRC extension for MediaWiki? [09:38:44] hi there. is it possible to list all users logged in actually to a mediawiki instance? [10:19:09] Hey guys I'm trying to fix this bug : https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T50853 . Which files should i change for this? Thanks ! [12:56:07] aharoni, I guess I'm late with answering because Hashar has already commented on that one :) [13:55:27] i want to start work on this project "Create the UI on the special page to add the word to the table" please guide me [13:56:56] check the manual [13:57:27] where? [13:58:53] i want to know which kind of updates needed in this ui please explain in details so i start the work as soon as possible [14:43:36] sofat__: Can you link to the bug report? [14:46:13] yes [14:46:34] i want some brief detail of problem [14:46:39] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85092 [14:46:50] this link i follow [14:47:23] This link I also follow. Moment. [14:47:57] Just pinged kart_ in #mediawiki-i18n [14:48:27] hello, I need help with the OpenID extension. One of my users is trying to log in with an openID to associate it with an account I created for them, with a temp password sent to their email [14:48:59] sofat__: Looks like this is an OPW project, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Ankitashukla/Proposal - I would guess that the person doing the project has laid out their tasks in phabricator to stay organized [14:49:08] sofat__: I'd suggest talking to them first [14:49:36] after linking the openID to their account, they get prompted to change their password. Clicking anything will log them out, and changing the password will give “An error occurred: an invalid token was found.” [14:52:37] marktraceur, you have any other project or bug [14:53:08] i think this is already taken by ankitashukla [14:53:10] sofat__: I don't, but I could link you to the list of easy bugs if you'd like [14:53:13] !easy | sofat__ [14:53:13] sofat__: We keep a list of bugs that are easy to solve, in case new developers want a simple step to start out with. Check out https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/easy/ and let us know if you need any help fixing your first bug! [14:58:35] ok i check the suitable task for me if i need any help i am asking from you [14:58:41] thanks [15:00:58] sofat__: Don't necessarily ask me, just ask the channel :) [15:03:35] ok [15:04:30] channel oh channel, why are you my channel [15:04:50] Oh channel, my channel, our fearful trip is done. [15:05:38] The ops have weathered ev'ry troll, the damn netsplit is done. [15:47:41] Nice, changing QuestyCaptcha question was effective once again http://wikipapers.referata.com/wiki/Special:RecentChanges [16:46:28] Hallo all, I was wondering if anybody knew about an alternative to RSS feeds for displaying news content on a website [17:01:40] Ulfr__: Atom? :) [17:02:23] Nemo_bis: I meant something with non-defunct or insanely tempermental extensions developed :P [17:04:44] Hi, i was working on one of the bugs in MultimediaViewer where we want to implement it on Special:NewFiles. How does MultimediaViewer ensure that it is enabled only on the article page? [17:07:23] namitohri: It's handled in two places - one, we check on the backend whether the server is loading a page that is an article and has images, two, we check on the frontend that we're on an article page and that there are images in the page content. [17:07:31] namitohri: You'd need to add clauses to both places. [17:15:34] marktraceur: You're a clause. [17:15:47] Ulfr__: The *Santa* clause. [17:15:53] Ho-ho-ho. [17:16:01] Oh god. The double pun. [17:16:06] You are told to repair things with your parents, but that is an impossible task - a complete waste of time that will also make you crazy. [17:16:13] damens: Um wat? [17:16:26] Things got heavy very suddenly [17:16:34] And off-topic. [17:16:45] So face it: your parents were bullies, or weak curriers of favour, or manipulative emotional infants themselves. You have no respect for them, for respect requires courage, and courage requires logical morality. You do not love them, since love demands virtue, and manipulating children into blind obedience is not at all virtuous. [17:16:52] ooooo-kay. [17:16:54] damens: You should take this somewhere else. [17:26:49] Does ANYONE even use RSS/Atom feeds anymore? [17:27:01] * Ulfr__ is trying to cook up good reasons why he can stop bashing his head off this particular wall. [17:27:37] I do. [17:28:45] But big companies don't like RSS/Atom it seems, allows to see stuff without ads (see LinkedIn which killed its feeds). [17:34:09] Nemo_bis: Thank you so very, very much. [17:36:25] Ulfr__: So, if you just want to be nice to unspecified users, allow RSS/Atom. If you have some specific use case in mind, please mention is so that one can understand the requirements. :) [17:55:57] Nemo_bis: I'm trying to get google news feeds to display on the front page of a couple private wikis, but it just breaks. No error, just doesn't display anything. What's boondoggling about this is that it's intermittent. Identical extensions, separate servers, and only some work right [17:57:57] and it's only like, one small blurb on the front page which I'm almost positive nobody sees so I'm inclined to say forget it. [18:07:58] Content embedding is hard. :) [18:15:25] Indeed. [19:11:29] $wgUseInstantCommons = true; not working any ideas how to fix [19:12:19] appears to keep trying to upload the file from commons [19:14:57] do we need to set permission to everyone for the images folder in order to make this work? $wgUseInstantCommons = true; [19:21:04] Jehovahsays: What image are you trying to use from Commons? [19:21:18] wikilove images [19:21:40] we installed extension wikilove [19:21:53] OK [19:23:20] documentation is not explaining exactly what we had to do on window os [19:23:57] don't use windows [19:24:51] That's an option. [19:25:44] Jehovahsays: Can you try adding [[File:Foobar.jpg]] to a page and see if it works? [19:29:41] we installed the extension wikilove we tried to add the admins barnstar and it didn't work [19:30:07] Jehovahsays: Can you try adding [[File:Foobar.jpg]] to a page and see if it works? [19:32:34] not working [19:32:42] Jehovahsays: What's the output? [19:32:53] our upload page. [19:32:56] OK. [19:33:14] Jehovahsays: Please paste the entirety of your LocalSettings.php, remove any passwords or secret keys first [19:33:27] no. [19:33:28] Jehovahsays: Use http://dpaste.de or similar [19:33:49] Jehovahsays: Jesus christ, dude, do you want help or not? [19:33:56] We have been over this [19:34:07] We can't diagnose configuration problems without seeing your configuration file. [19:35:39] Jehovahsays: Why don't you want to paste your configuration? [19:38:17] we need to protect some info. much of the info will be missing. [19:38:38] What private information (other than passwords?) do you have in your LocalSettings? [19:39:42] https://dpaste.de/B5HZ [19:39:54] Oh, OK, apparently it's fine now. [19:39:54] seal [19:39:55] Jesus. [19:40:47] visit our website https://www.jehovahsays.net [19:40:55] !filepermissions | Jehovahsays [19:40:55] Jehovahsays: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads#Check_directory_security [19:41:05] Try that, if it doesn't work, we'll try some other things [19:41:08] you will understand what and why we must protect [19:42:28] Nope, not really, looks like a normal site to me. [19:43:20] should we have set full control for everyone? because we didn't , they only can read execute and write. [19:45:03] Jehovahsays: Read that manual page, follow the instructions, and tell me if you run into problems. [19:45:04] marktraceur [19:47:49] still not working. [19:48:07] we are going to run update script [19:49:05] marktraceur: I would be careful how much time you waste with Jehovahsays They do not take common sense advice [19:49:43] is commons trying to upload these images to our images folders? [19:50:01] Jehovahsays: I believe that's how foreign repos work, at least they should be cached locally, but I could be wrong. [19:50:19] that's foul betacommand. [19:50:35] marktraceur: it does, for at least thumbs [19:50:44] Jehovahsays: Its accurate [19:50:58] Jehovahsays: Yeah, but he's right, you actively ignore advice and get pissy when we tell you you need to follow it to fix the problem. [19:51:06] You fired me, remember? [19:51:26] marktraceur: he runs bleeding edge code on a production server...... [19:51:35] the if that is case then we would have to change $wgGroupPermissions['*']['upload'] = false; to true then in order to fix this all. [19:51:36] That sounds like a great idea [19:51:49] Jehovahsays: No [19:51:56] Jehovahsays: No, that's not it, we're talking about your wiki taking files from Commons and saving them on your server. [19:52:11] Jehovahsays: The only permissions involved are filesystem permissions, which I was asking you to check. [19:52:14] !thumb [19:52:14] For information on configuring thumbnailing on MediaWiki, please refer to . [19:52:23] betacommand what version of mediawiki are you hosting? [19:52:28] Jehovahsays: ^ [19:52:30] Jehovahsays: Can you do an ls -l on your mediawiki directory and pastebin the result? [19:54:27] Sorry to interrupt, I was wondering if there was any way to host uploaded images on an external server, instead of the server with the mediawiki installation. [19:54:55] CoreyChambers: Hmm...it's possible, but I think you'd need to write some software to do it [19:55:02] Jehovahsays: I have several versions running, my stable production site is 1.23, and my test platform is using a git checkout [19:55:05] I'm toying with the idea of CORS-enabled servers right now [19:55:27] CoreyChambers: What kind of server were you thinking, another MediaWiki instance, or something else entirely? [19:55:55] CoreyChambers: what is your goal with the second server? [19:56:14] I'm not too picky, as long as images that are uploaded on the wiki are saved onto the second server, it'll be what I need. [19:56:16] https://www.jehovahsays.net/wiki/index.php?title=Special%3AVersion [19:56:49] CoreyChambers: I would use rsync or something for creating a backup [19:57:38] CoreyChambers: there are some extensions that work for some special kind of cloud storage https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:File_repository_extensions [19:57:47] Jehovahsays: Yeah we know your running 1.25alpha (IE bleeding edge code) [19:58:08] we are stumped. we are thinking about commenting the instant commons images feature for now and deleting extension wikilove [19:58:54] Jerks [19:59:00] Jehovahsays: If you actually just fixed http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads#Check_directory_security you wouldnt have an issuue [19:59:27] Jehovahsays: We pointed out the root issue a while ago, and your ignoring us [20:01:20] Jehovahsays: I help users with the exact same issue about once a week, If your calling us a jerk for trying to help you, you must have things backwards [20:19:48] marktraceur: thanks for that.should I create a new hook to solve the bug or include the clauses in getModulesForArticle. [20:37:24] namitohri: Use the same one. [20:57:43] marktraceur: i have made the changes and submitted a patch.Also, it doesn't look like a frontend change was needed. [20:58:03] namitohri: I see that; we're discussing it in another channel as we speak :) [20:59:06] marktraceur: Ok.thanks for your help.Kindly let me know if any changes are to be made. [20:59:14] namitohri: Will do :) [20:59:19] I think it's good news [21:00:53] good news as in? [21:38:43] Hi everyone! I am trying to reproduce https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T57389 bug but could not reproduce it. The "Other languages" bar is displayed properly and no error is thrown for me. Can anyone tell me the steps to reproduce it? [21:40:38] Phoenix303: The bug report says to make it a list, so even if there's no issue, it may be worthwhile to fix that part of it [21:41:27] okay [21:41:31] thanks mark [22:14:37] hi, it looks like I'm a little bit too severe when restricting access to my wiki, users can't validate their email, so then can't edit my wiki, can anyone give me advice ? [22:52:11] Hello [22:52:18] what is the i18n channel? [22:52:31] It has been some weeks now and the Gothic language keyboard which [22:52:35] I made still isn't tested [22:54:09] #mediawiki-i18n
