[00:13:36] Hello everyone [00:23:46] For some reason my Wiki won't allow me to upload a file bigger than 5 bytes. Even though I configured PHP and my localsettings file to allow 8MB :( [00:32:02] what does a limit of 5 bytes mean in practice out of interest? 3 white pixels? [00:32:27] Hell if I know. [00:33:17] I've been trying to configure it and I have it set to 8MB in all three configuration files mentioned in the Manual. :( [00:48:26] Yeah I've even tried restarting my server and I got nothing. [01:00:44] Can anyone help me please? :) [01:08:42] Nevermind! I got it! I messed up the syntax :P [01:09:23] Good evening, I try to change the edit page of all pages (include a message), can you help me? [01:13:50] irssi__: take a look at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Edit_notice [02:21:16] Went to Support desk for help with my wiki's problems (can't create or edit pages) [02:21:31] ... And now I can't even post to support desk... [02:21:38] Am at a complete loss [02:22:04] Would like help getting support desk posts to work first [02:22:26] have tried from different browsers / computers and have the same problem every time [02:22:35] Except sometimes it works! [02:22:43] So damned frustrating really.... [02:23:40] I try to reply in the thread and the page will refresh (sometimes) then I scroll down and the text editor is still open with my text there but it doesn't get posted.... [02:23:53] I wonder if what I'm saying here is even coming across [02:23:59] ..... probably not [02:24:08] hello? Anyone here? [02:24:15] helloooooooo ... ? [02:24:31] hi [02:24:42] krenair can you hear me [02:24:51] no, but I can read what you're saying [02:24:58] success! [02:25:02] indeed [02:25:16] any idea why i'm not able to post to support desk? [02:25:23] i'm at my wits end [02:25:45] no... I can try it out myself [02:26:38] Echo echo echo.... [02:27:43] cwb: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk#Support_desk_broken.3F_52300 [02:28:01] what browser are you using? [02:28:27] I can see your post [02:28:37] currently firefox for linux [02:28:45] it went through slowly but did work... [02:28:45] but i've tried chromium as well [02:28:50] I used chrome [02:28:56] and even switched over to my chromebook with no luck [02:29:05] my chromebook won't post either... [02:29:20] does anything show in the JS console when you try to submit your post? [02:29:29] not sure... [02:29:56] it's usually got the information needed to start investigating these sorts of issues. [02:36:56] js console not picking anything up [02:40:50] co you know how to use the rest of the developer tools? [02:40:56] (or at least network etc.?) [02:41:22] I'm not too savvy unfortunately.. I'm figuring it out [02:41:30] :/ [02:42:14] seems like that isn't helping my case [02:44:29] might have something here... [02:44:39] there's an object that won't completely load on the page [02:44:57] let me recreate the issue here [02:44:59] 1 min [02:50:38] hmmm,.. well really I'm not too sure what to look for [02:50:55] everything appears normal in dev. tools [02:53:44] except for a crap load of css errors [02:54:19] That's normal [02:54:41] js is clean though [02:55:21] Any network with really long response timed or failed responses? [02:55:42] let me check again [02:57:56] https://bits.wikimedia.org/www.mediawiki.org/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=site&only=scripts&skin=vector&* [02:58:05] this here say image failed to load [02:58:20] "could not load the image" [02:59:42] An image wouldn't cause it. [03:00:23] i'm not seeing anything else, but not sure what else to check [03:00:41] i'm going to try disabling all my extensions [03:01:03] Try logged out? [03:01:10] tried that [03:01:13] several times.. [03:01:19] Still an issue? [03:01:23] yea [03:02:03] Suggests it's not an issue with your custom gadgets or scripts. [03:02:34] ahh, not logged out of my comp [03:02:40] but logged out of mediawiki [03:02:46] let me try that instead... [03:06:29] ha, damn it worked [03:07:51] is there a known list of conflicting extensions? [03:08:10] i'm running several privacy guards.. [03:08:15] Was going to ask if it happened away from home next. Krenair ^? [03:20:00] T13|sleeps, no idea what happened... [03:20:47] I believe i've found the conflicting extension [03:20:51] still doing some test [03:21:30] Apparently cwb was able to post while logged out. But was wondering if there is a list of known conflicts some place. [03:27:52] well... not too sure what the deal was. [03:28:03] posts to s.d. are working now [03:28:17] also through using js console found the error with my wiki [03:29:50] Great! You learned something new today [03:29:52] :) [03:31:28] now i have to set about fixing it! haha [03:31:29] thanks [03:39:05] hmm, well actually it's that same problem as before with loading the image [03:39:17] too tired to dig into what the real issue is [03:39:20] will be back later [03:39:24] thanks for all the help [03:40:10] can mark the support thread as resolved perhaps? [03:40:28] Go for it. [04:21:35] cwb, so what was your issue? [04:21:39] oh they quit [07:49:16] hello all [07:49:24] my links in my wiki is like this [07:49:26] http://parsintelligent.com/wiki/%D8%A8%D9%87_%D9%88%DB%8C%DA%A9%DB%8C_%D8%B4%D8%B1%DA%A9%D8%AA_%D9%85%D9%87%D9%86%D8%AF%D8%B3%DB%8C_%D9%87%D9%88%D8%B4%D9%85%D9%86%D8%AF_%D9%BE%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%B3_%D8%AE%D9%88%D8%B4_%D8%A2%D9%85%D8%AF%DB%8C%D8%AF... [07:49:45] it is good featured link [07:49:52] how could i make it good? [07:49:55] can help me? [08:04:46] could someone please establish the difference between api and hooks in an extension? [08:05:29] ankita_: Hooks allow code to be executed when an event occurs [08:05:54] ankita_: The API allows for access to features, data, and metadata [08:06:35] SatanicSanta: so, if a form submit button is clicked, a hook would be called? [08:06:45] in most cases yes [08:07:06] SatanicSanta: and api would allow inserting that data in the database? [08:08:02] If I understand that question correclty yes :P [08:09:29] :) [08:10:17] SatanicSanta: Also, i saw a few extensions, which have a directory includes/ that contains Databse.php and files to read/write the database [08:10:58] SatanicSanta: these files are mostly classes , what is the role of hooks and api in such cases? [08:11:31] hm [08:12:40] i dunno [08:13:56] oh okay.. thanks anyways :) [10:26:59] hi all !!, is there a way to setup special:NewPages to only a user or few ? [10:32:07] no [10:32:35] :/ [10:32:49] i just edit an wiki with several languages [10:33:12] only want to set my language page with new things on my language content [10:34:53] put each page in a category that identify the language, and use any of the dynamic page list extensions to get them [10:36:37] ringo32: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicPageList_%28Wikimedia%29#category [10:36:42] ok then i have to see first if that is installed [10:40:17] hmmmm Vulpix thanks for your help then i have to ask that they install that extention if i understand [10:40:47] yes, there's no other way to do that otherwise [10:41:29] its not my mediawiki :) so yeah.. its cool.. have to see first who ¨¨ [10:47:26] unicodesnowman: can you think of something for https://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2014/5809563102085120 ? :) [10:48:19] Nemo_bis, yes! I've been wanting to write about my GCI experience actually! [10:48:36] :) [10:52:45] what are namespaces ? [10:53:14] !namespace [10:53:14] See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces for user help and documentation, and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Namespace for administration. For adding namespaces, see !extranamespace [11:31:45] ! tipbox [11:31:45] Hello, I'm wm-bot. The database for this channel is published at http://bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/db/%23mediawiki.htm More about WM-Bot: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/wm-bot [14:01:48] hi there [14:02:07] someone familiar with multimediaviewer extension ? [14:03:23] idk why it uses filename of an image rather than description when I click on an image [14:37:38] Hi there [14:38:13] I'm having a bit of trouble with MultimediaViewer, anyone able to spare a few minutes? [14:44:28] http://highercomputingscience.org/wiki/Emulator - supposed to be installed on here. Not doing anything from what I can see, but listed in version. [14:49:33] ResourceLoader throws an exception: Error: Unknown dependency: mediawiki.ui.icon [14:55:56] Pete34: apparently, you've downloaded the "master" (last) version of MultiMediaViewer, and not the version that matches your MediaWiki version (1.24) [14:56:36] that, or REL1_24 branch of MMV is (still) borked :S [14:57:46] no, it's not borked, at least :) [14:59:08] Vulpix: the extension version mismatch is one of the most common problems I see [15:00:23] Betacommand: sometimes it's not the site owners fault https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T66157 [15:00:50] Vulpix: Ah [15:00:52] ouch [15:01:20] Vulpix: I must have run into something like that when I was working with scribuntu [15:02:36] bbl [15:05:21] i get this error DB connection error: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) () when i'm trying to run php maintenance/update.php [15:05:42] could someone please suggest what's wrong here [15:18:12] thanks [15:18:19] I will have a look [15:23:23] Vulpix: Thanks for spotting that. I saw the JS error but that was as far as I got. Super! [15:24:44] here is the error paste- http://paste.ubuntu.com/9630126/ [15:32:16] ankita_: How did you determine the password as YES? [15:32:42] Niharika: i really dont know :/ [15:32:48] Niharika: that means a password is being used [15:32:52] Not that it is YES [15:33:19] Reedy: Ah. Okay. [15:33:21] Niharika: it's just that phpmyadmin requires a password everytime i wish to login [15:33:29] ankita_: I found http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6081339/access-denied-for-user-rootlocalhost-using-password-yes-mysqlerror [15:35:05] Niharika: well, this is not a global error, as in, all other things/applications/files work well. I got this error while wanted to add a table to the database for my extension using `php maintenance/upload.php` [15:35:35] ankita_: I get it. Switch user to root and then try perhaps? [15:37:31] Niharika: it already says that the user is root, right? [15:39:58] ankita_: if updating the wiki is the purpose, web updater could be used, this way database permissions would be handled according to permissions at time of installation [15:40:59] codezee: okay, i'll try that.. it could be done through my local vagrant instance, right? [15:41:33] ankita_: web updater-http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading#Web_browser [15:45:11] codezee: it says it will launch an application but does nothing, in fact no application is launched [15:46:18] ankita_: also, if updating from commandline, its recommend using 'mwscript update.php' with vagrant,checkout at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Update.php [15:50:59] ankita_: does 'mwscript update.php' work? [15:51:28] codezee: yes provided i ran it in the vagrant terminal [15:52:06] ankita_: so I guess it does the update? [15:52:51] codezee: it was going good but ended with an error "Error: 1302 Conflicting declarations: 'CHARACTER SET binary' and 'CHARACTER SET utf8' ()" for my sql file [15:59:44] ankita_: you might want to check the character set used by database and specified in LocalSettings.php as here http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDBTableOptions [16:25:07] codezee: thanks! fixed! :) [16:25:21] Niharika: thanks :) [16:27:26] Hi, is this mediawiki support right? I have a question, I have a small wiki in a private server, and one of my users messed quite a bit the wiki, so I restored a previous snapshot of mysql database. Rigth now is running right, except that for some reason Special:Log doesn't update (but RecentChanges does), it is my fault? anything I can do? [16:30:33] exxar: What events you expect to see on Special:Log? [16:33:03] FlorianSW, I expect to see the defaults, I mean previously worked awesome, but when I restored, likely something changed [16:33:58] mainly because I filter RecentChanges to strip all the burocrats stuff [16:35:33] by example, page creation appears on RecentChanges but not in Special:Log right now [16:39:41] exxar: i'm not sure, but page creation shouldn't be in Special:Log [16:49:02] FlorianSW, what kind of logs should be showing Special:Log ? [16:49:28] exxar: e.g. new account creations, new uploads or something else :) [16:51:57] just asking because likely the other sysop might have tweaked something, and in that case, I could be wrong about what it should show [16:52:09] ok [16:52:16] then is working ok [16:53:33] thank you very much FlorianSW ! [16:54:12] exxar: no problem :) If Special:RecentChanges updates, Specil:Log should, too. :) Happy editing!
