[09:52:04] Merry Christmas to those who celebrate in #mediawiki. [09:52:35] In Common.css of the Hebrew Wikisource there's something odd. [09:52:41] "!ie" in the end of the line. [09:52:48] Like "!important", but "!ie". [09:52:53] https://he.wikisource.org/wiki/%D7%9E%D7%93%D7%99%D7%94_%D7%95%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%99:Common.css [09:53:10] Is it a real thing for IE compatibility or is it just an error? [09:53:18] ACE editor says that it's just an error. [09:53:46] And I can't find anything about it on Google. [12:02:24] Does someone manage to see a non-empty diff? https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Thread:Help_talk:CirrusSearch/why_is_google_better&lqt_method=thread_history [12:04:31] hmph... I suspect LQT just doesn't know what to do with new page creations there [12:11:05] There isn't anything in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/95.83.250.212 nor logs [12:37:34] Filed as https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85309?workflow=23605 [16:46:16] Can't get my install to work! [16:46:40] Editing / Creating pages does not work. [16:46:46] Creating users does work.. [16:47:10] MediaWiki 1.24.1 PHP 5.3.29 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL 5.5.32-cll-lve Apache 2.2.29 Linux x86_64 Hosting by Namecheap [16:48:22] Problem: After editing / creating a page and clicking "Save page" the browser will refresh and the editor will revert back to before any editing took place... [16:48:39] Any help is greatly appreciated! [16:50:21] Is it there in the history? [18:44:18] Ask a question,I install a mediawiki,but the page has some problems,for example,the login page,the text should show login but show "

",has some one the problem [19:13:19] aharoni: happy post-hanukah (and a happy unbirthday, too). https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/master/includes/libs/CSSMin.php#L320-323 [19:14:27] it's a trick to get browsers that support embedding images in CSS as data URIs to use the data URI (see the line after the line with !ie), but have old IE versions still work by using the URL-based file [19:45:00] ori: thanks [19:45:30] ori: so basically... if I just use @embed, I shouldn't need "!ie" explicitly? [20:12:11] Hello. Does anyone know why a wiki isn't saving a new article? Can someone help me out, please? [20:22:30] WindSplitter1: could you elaborate what happens when you try to save the page? [20:23:46] Here's the problem: I start a new article just fine and when I hit the "Save" button, the page refreshes and I'm taken back to the Main page Editing screen. [20:24:49] I'm using MW 1.24.1 + PHP Version: 5.4.35 (cgi-fcgi) + SQL Version: 5.5.40-cll @ http://triplestrata.com/MMOKB/ [20:26:24] WindSplitter1: does it happen on every edit, or only on that page/only with the specific text you write on that page? [20:26:41] try making a dummy edit on another page and see if that also happens [20:26:55] It always happens, just tried it again. [20:27:13] Can't create or edit any page. [20:28:02] it works for me (I've edited http://triplestrata.com/MMOKB/Sasdsdasd ) [20:28:28] !? [20:28:28] The PHP closing tag "?>" is never required at the end of a pure-code php file, and mediawiki developers actively remove it, as it often causes problems related to trailing whitespace, and "headers already sent" errors. See also http://news.php.net/php.general/280796 and !bom as well as https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T19642 [20:29:18] be sure to try adding a small text like my edit on that page [20:29:24] How is this possible? I've tried with another browser, cleared cache and still haven't been able to do so... [20:30:08] some servers with mod_security enabled could have that behavior, if you insert more than X links on the page, or use special words/characters [20:30:13] ok [20:30:23] ah,,, [20:31:44] Wow... it did work.... but besides wikitext there's nothing wrong... Thank you very much))) [20:32:21] mod_security may be the problem here... [20:32:38] how do I change it? [20:33:31] if you are on a shared host, I imagine you'll need to contact your hosting, pasting the text that's triggering that behavior [20:34:06] Alright. Thank you very much! You saved my project)))) [20:34:21] also, try to post your edit in small chunks [20:34:34] OK [20:34:35] maybe you can identify what word/characters are triggering that [20:35:06] I'll try to put one of the pages little by little, then I'll tell you how it goes. [20:37:22] hello [20:37:51] I'm not entirely sure but may be because I'm adding links that are yet to exist [20:49:50] WindSplitter1: If you are the owner of the site, I'd recommend installing some anti-spam extension. MediaWiki (just like any other internet software that allows posting text) is a common target for spambots [20:49:55] See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam for more info [20:50:59] The problem is that I don't have SSH((( [20:51:46] Which is pretty much a problem when running it.. [20:52:02] well, SSH is not necessary for small wikis. You can upload extensions through FTP and if they require database changes, just run the web installer again [20:53:24] Really? [20:53:44] WindSplitter1:this might help-http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extensions [20:53:57] Thanks))) [20:55:26] WindSplitter1:installing extensions is as simple as copying extension scripts into appropriate extension directory and running the upgrade script [20:56:09] Ah.. I remember uploading one once but I had no idea how to run it [21:06:49] I have no PHP end tag on the LocalSettings.php, should I add one? [21:08:00] !? | WindSplitter1 [21:08:00] WindSplitter1: The PHP closing tag "?>" is never required at the end of a pure-code php file, and mediawiki developers actively remove it, as it often causes problems related to trailing whitespace, and "headers already sent" errors. See also http://news.php.net/php.general/280796 and !bom as well as https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T19642 [21:08:50] Um... I'm no programmer.. so I thought I should ask... haha.. Thank you [21:09:59] rgr wmbot. Thanks [21:22:58] plop [21:47:26] I've included all script details in my LocalSettings.php file. How do I activate an extension with no SSH? [21:51:48] which particular extension you're talking about? [21:53:06] QuestyCaptcha [21:54:24] WindSplitter1: first you must have installed ConfirmEdit extension I guess [21:54:30] I have [21:56:57] if the following lines have been added to LocalSettings.php, I guess, it should do work: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit#QuestyCaptcha [21:57:42] I added those. And even entered a wrong password to see if it would appear but it didn't [21:58:02] I'm gonna check if my code is correct, maybe that's why. [21:58:44] WindSplitter1: default wgCaptchaBadLoginAttempts is 3, means you have to enter a wrong pw 3 times before a captcha shows up [21:59:04] aaa.... hold on.. [21:59:39] Solved it. Thanks))) [22:14:56] Thank's for your help everyone. My wiki is more or less ready))) ~S~ Bye and Happy Holidays.
