[00:00:15] <legoktm>	 naaw: so that sounds like everything is already installed?
[00:02:29] <naaw>	 legoktm: Yes. I'm wondering whether I've stuffed something up using xampp, I.e. I'm doing something wrong and calling the system PHP somewhere instead of the xampp PHP
[00:07:58] <naaw>	 How can I test swiftmail is installed in my xampp PHP installation?
[00:10:03] <legoktm>	 naaw: so composer doesn't install it to a specific PHP instance, it just sets it up in a file location, and any compatible php version should be able to use it
[00:10:19] <naaw>	 legoktm: Understood
[00:11:16] <naaw>	 legoktm: my original error message is "Fatal error: Class 'Swift_Message' not found in /opt/lampp/htdocs/w/extensions/SwiftMailer/SwiftMailerHooks.php on line 41"
[00:22:45] <naaw>	 legoktm: any ideas what I should be checking?
[00:25:27] <Jeroen>	 jackmcbarn: I have imported the modules and I am still getting the same error.
[00:25:58] <jackmcbarn>	 Jeroen: on one of the pages where you get the error, go into edit mode and save without changing anything
[00:30:56] <legoktm>	 naaw: it looks like it's a bug with the extension :/
[00:33:23] <Jeroen>	 jackmcbarn: It works now, I think, how can I make sure that all styles are working and the images work?
[00:33:30] <legoktm>	 naaw: I uploaded a patch to fix it: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/183405
[00:33:52] <jackmcbarn>	 Jeroen: for styles, there's really no way other than looking
[00:34:10] <jackmcbarn>	 for images, you can check [[Category:Pages_with_broken_file_links]]
[00:41:20] <Jeroen>	 jackmcbarn: Seems that setting $wgUseInstantCommons to true works
[00:52:16] <naaw>	 legoktm: thanks so much! I'll check it out
[00:59:51] <aelevadoan>	 o/
[00:59:58] <aelevadoan>	 when i create a open wiki
[01:00:06] <aelevadoan>	 can i change it after to request accounts?
[01:02:52] <andre__>	 aelevadoan, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount ?
[01:05:09] <Betacommand>	 aelevadoan: yes
[01:05:26] <aelevadoan>	 andre__: that plugin allows me to change from openwiki to request account creation ?
[01:05:38] <aelevadoan>	 Betacommand: do you know another away apart from using a plugin?
[01:06:34] <Betacommand>	 aelevadoan: mediawiki doesnt use plugins it uses extensions, which achieve 90% of the features that people use
[01:06:50] <Betacommand>	 why dont you want to use an extension?
[01:06:57] <aelevadoan>	 Betacommand: sorry, I meant extensions like the one andre__ recommended
[01:07:08] <aelevadoan>	 i just wanted to know if there are other options
[01:07:35] <Betacommand>	 aelevadoan: that is the easiest way
[01:07:45] <naaw>	 legoktm: I cloned the SwiftMessage git repository and ran "git pull https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/SwiftMailer refs/changes/05/183405/1" as per the patch page. 
[01:07:56] <Betacommand>	 and recommended method
[01:08:11] <naaw>	 legoktm: I then replaced my extensions/SwiftMailer directory with this one.
[01:08:11] <aelevadoan>	 Betacommand: and with that extension can I pass from a wiki that requires account registration to an open wiki afterwards?
[01:08:20] <Betacommand>	 aelevadoan: yeah
[01:08:26] <aelevadoan>	 ok, good
[01:08:28] <aelevadoan>	 thanks
[01:08:34] <Betacommand>	 aelevadoan: extensions only function when enabled
[01:08:47] <aelevadoan>	 if I need to use it, I will ask in the chat
[01:08:53] <aelevadoan>	 Im just creating the wiki now
[01:09:01] <Betacommand>	 you either gain or lose functionality based on what it does
[01:09:10] <naaw>	 legoktm: I then restarted Apache for good measure but I still get the same error.
[01:09:21] <Betacommand>	 !spam | aelevadoan 
[01:09:21] <wm-bot>	 aelevadoan: For information about combating and handling spam in MediaWiki, see <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam> and <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Anti-spam_features>.
[01:09:31] <legoktm>	 naaw: :( I'm not sure then, you should probably file a bug report
[01:09:33] <Betacommand>	 aelevadoan: ^
[01:11:39] <aelevadoan>	 Betacommand: thanks!
[01:20:19] <MC8>	 probably should update that command, as the latter link redirects to the former
[01:32:40] <jazzorius>	 What's a good place to attach a parser hook?
[01:34:01] <jazzorius>	 http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo#Installation suggests to require_once the extension file from LocalSettings.php.
[01:35:19] <jazzorius>	 But it's not needed if there is no parsing involved e.g. if served from cache.
[02:18:52] <Jeroen>	 I have a bit of a problem with my Wiki style: http://puu.sh/edFCf/9b27b27069.png
[02:19:38] <Jeroen>	 There is a backslash on the top left and something else.
[02:21:45] <jazzorius>	 Jeroen: Right-click -> inspect element on the slash. 
[02:22:03] <jazzorius>	 what's the html around it? any div IDs or class IDs?
[02:24:35] <Jeroen>	 div id mw-head
[02:24:53] <Jeroen>	 jazzorius: 
[02:25:17] <jazzorius>	 check your skin
[02:26:25] <jazzorius>	 Your skin has the HTML template. That's where the HTML is generated. Locate the part of the HTML that doesn't look right and find the code that's generating it.
[02:30:43] <Jeroen>	 Looks like nothing is wrong with it.
[02:34:03] <jazzorius>	 is your site public?
[02:58:55] <wmat>	 is the mediawiki XML format for dump files documented anywhere? My search fu is poor this evening.
[03:03:58] <Fiona>	 wmat: Probably not, but it should be.
[03:04:12] <Fiona>	 wmat: Typically it's easiest to just download a small dump and read its structure.
[03:04:30] <Fiona>	 wget && bzcat should be all you need.
[03:04:50] <Fiona>	 Well, for Wikimedia dumps. For MediaWiki XML dumps generically, they're not compressed, I don't think.
[03:05:25] <wmat>	 Fiona: thx, that's what I'll do
[03:10:28] <Ownage>	 anyone using mediawiki which is bound to opendirectory auth?
[03:16:39] <Jeroen>	 jazzorius: No, it is not public.
[03:22:08] <Fiona>	 Ownage: LDAP?
[03:22:16] <Fiona>	 Oh, that's Active Directory.
[03:22:21] <Fiona>	 What's OpenDirectory?
[03:22:33] <Ownage>	 OSX's ldap implementation
[03:22:37] <Skizzerz>	 Apple's implementation of LDAP
[03:22:42] * Skizzerz got ninja'd
[03:23:05] <Fiona>	 !ldap
[03:23:05] <wm-bot>	 http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication To get support, open a new thread on the support page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:LDAP_Authentication
[03:23:06] <Skizzerz>	 anyway, the existing LDAP auth plugins *should* work fine since the underlying protocol is all the same
[03:23:32] <Fiona>	 It's interesting that one of you chose to name the operating system and the other chose to name the company.
[03:23:46] <Fiona>	 And what Skizzerz said.
[03:24:20] <Ownage>	 I already saw that
[03:24:32] <Ownage>	 someone asking the same question as me, still unanswered from september
[03:24:51] <Fiona>	 Yeah, that happens. :-)
[03:24:56] <Fiona>	 Did you try the extension?
[03:25:05] <wmat>	  < Fiona> wmat: Typically it's easiest to just download a small dump and
[03:25:16] <Ownage>	 yeah, I get invalid password. And I'm not getting any logs from it
[03:25:17] <wmat>	 ugh, sorry
[03:25:27] <Fiona>	 No worries.
[03:25:43] <Fiona>	 Ownage: Did you try with a different account?
[03:25:52] <Fiona>	 Are you specifying the domain somewhere?
[03:26:06] <Fiona>	 I've never actually used that plugin, but I hear good things.
[03:26:47] <Ownage>	 well there are about 100 variables you can set, and about 50 of them seem to be documented in a simple comment style (online)
[03:27:23] <Ownage>	 and since ldap is always fun to spend hours and hours on, I figured maybe if someone already has it working they could post a snippet of their file
[03:28:07] <wmat>	 Fiona: I found this, btw: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Export#Export_format
[03:28:13] <Fiona>	 Oh, nice.
[03:28:22] <Fiona>	 Meta-Wiki also has a "Data dumps" page.
[03:28:32] <Ownage>	 Anyway I think the first problem I should solve is that there's no log
[03:28:40] <Fiona>	 !debug
[03:28:40] <wm-bot>	 For information on debugging (including viewing errors), see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug . A list of related configuration variables is at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings#Debug.2Flogging
[03:28:57] <Fiona>	 There's a debug log variable you can set in LocalSettings.php.
[03:29:31] <Fiona>	 The log destination will need to be in a place that's writeable by the Web server user probably.
[03:33:09] <georgebarnick>	 What's the fastest way to generate a list of pages (these pages happen to be files) in a category so I can set it as a txt file and run deleteBatch.php on it?
[03:46:17] <georgebarnick>	 @my last comment - nevermind I did it with the API and some editing in text editor
[03:48:46] <Fiona>	 Good work.
[03:49:16] <Fiona>	 Ownage: You can read the file includes/DefaultSettings.php to better understand the variables.
[03:49:27] <Fiona>	 Also, if you're unhappy with the documentation, get editing.
[03:49:30] <Fiona>	 It's a wiki, brah.
[03:49:38] <Ownage>	 I've got log files working now, still trying to figure out the problem
[03:49:45] <Fiona>	 Nice.
[03:49:54] <^demon|away>	 Fiona: do you even document, brah?
[03:49:58] <Ownage>	 all it says is 'failed to bind as uid=...' but no reason why; thanks for the tip
[03:50:02] <Fiona>	 Most days I can't even.
[03:50:08] <Fiona>	 Which presumably includes documentation.
[03:50:38] <Fiona>	 Failed to bind? Okay, so then just grep through the source of the LDAP extension.
[03:50:49] <Fiona>	 And find where that log line is written, and backtrace.
[03:53:22] <Ownage>	 cool, making progress.. I'll let you know if/when I get through it, thanks for the help
[03:56:07] <Fiona>	 No problem.
[04:07:47] <Ownage>	 How can I disable the auto-lockout of accounts after 5 failed logins
[04:08:25] <Fiona>	 I think that's an LDAP setting.
[04:08:43] <Fiona>	 I don't think MediaWiki has that feature out of the box, anyway.
[04:29:04] <Betacommand>	 Ownage: you would need to change the LDAP settings
[05:52:35] <Ownage>	 Finally got it!
[05:56:24] <alisha>	 Hello
[05:56:57] <alisha>	 I have subscribed to phabricator task T85794
[05:57:44] <alisha>	 I am unable to find the code
[05:57:53] <alisha>	 Please direct me to it
[06:21:27] <Niharika>	 Hello. I'm trying to enable the iegreview role in MW. I get the following error on running provision: https://dpaste.de/KEB8
[06:26:03] <ori>	 Niharika: you have the scholarship role enabled too. it has a resource with the same name. if you disable scholarships, it'll work. (this isn't your fault -- the two roles ought not to have that conflict.)
[06:30:19] <Niharika>	 ori: Okay. Should I file a bug for that?
[06:31:31] <ori>	 Niharika: ordinarily, yes, but i already have a patch
[06:32:09] <Niharika>	 ori: Okay. Awesome. 
[08:18:14] <Ownage>	 What's a good plugin or method to deal with the display of a single line of strings which is too long for a page?
[08:18:23] <Ownage>	 In my case, an authorized keys line
[08:36:51] <valhallasw`cloud>	 Ownage: what should be dealt with?
[08:37:16] <Ownage>	 It shows as like 3 times as wide as the page, making the whole page look rediculous
[08:37:38] <Ownage>	 some kind of word wrap, or scroll enclosure or automatic escaped breaks or something, I don't know
[08:38:31] <valhallasw`cloud>	 Ownage: try <div style="word-wrap: break-word">
[09:02:53] <Ownage>	 Thanks that worked out for me valhallasw`cloud 
[14:58:24] <Lcawte>	 Okay, so I'm copying a wiki to my local host... I grabbed an xml dump and a tar.gz of the image dir. The images are in the image dir... how do I populate the image table as they all show as not uploaded.
[15:01:19] <Rosencrantz>	 Lcawte: There's a maintenance script you can use to just upload all of the images
[15:02:02] <Rosencrantz>	 yeah
[15:02:09] <Rosencrantz>	 maintenance/importImages.php
[15:03:22] <Rosencrantz>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:ImportImages.php
[16:38:42] <waldir>	 Hi all. I'm working on a custom skin for my wiki, but I can't seem to make the contents of MediaWiki:Sidebar actually affect the sidebar. Is there something special / different I need to to to make sure those customizations are included in the rendering of the page?
[16:39:22] <waldir>	 I looked at e.g. monobook but it seems to simply use $this->data['sidebar'] (https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-skins-MonoBook/blob/master/MonoBookTemplate.php#L137) but in my case that doesn't reflect any changes I make to Mediawiki:Sidebar 
[16:39:45] <waldir>	 in fact, if I try ?useskin=monobook, I don't see the effects of Mediawiki:Sidebar on the actual sidebar -- weird, I thought monobook supported this out of the box. maybe it's a syntax error?
[16:45:05] <oznogon>	 What changes are you making, exactly?
[16:46:21] <waldir>	 oznogon: here's the current contents of mediawiki:sidebar: http://labcg.di.uminho.pt/MediaWiki:Sidebar
[16:47:24] <waldir>	 and here's usage of the monobook skin (note how the actual sidebar differs from mediawiki:sidebar): http://labcg.di.uminho.pt/MediaWiki:Sidebar?useskin=monobook
[16:48:47] <oznogon>	 For one, I believe members needs a pipe followed by link text, like "Members|Members"
[16:49:40] <waldir>	 hmmm, let me try that, but I think it didn't work even before
[16:50:36] <waldir>	 ah, ok, so it works with monobook, but not with my custom skin
[16:51:19] <waldir>	 oznogon: thanks, that already helps :) I'll do some experiments
[20:16:38] <flexpaint>	 can i add caching after i configure my site or do i need it before i install
[20:16:57] <Reedy>	 you can add it later
[20:17:07] <flexpaint>	 great thanks
[22:49:30] <willwh>	 yo folks :)
[22:49:38] <marktraceur>	 Hi willwh, what's up?
[22:49:39] <willwh>	 I just installed mediawiki on a nix box, and having some trouble getting widgets working
[22:49:42] <willwh>	 hi marktraceur :)
[22:49:44] <willwh>	 how are you?
[22:49:48] <marktraceur>	 Doing OK
[22:49:52] <willwh>	 great
[22:49:57] <marktraceur>	 Widgets...I don't think I ever got those working either
[22:50:04] <willwh>	 so I followed this: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Widgets
[22:50:14] <willwh>	 important for me, need to be able to iframe and use remote images :)
[22:50:18] <marktraceur>	 willwh: What isn't working exactly?
[22:50:32] <willwh>	 the iframe widget form
[22:50:34] <willwh>	 for me*
[22:50:48] <willwh>	 on a page where I define an iframe, I just get "Error in widget Iframe"
[22:50:51] <marktraceur>	 Ah.
[22:51:07] <willwh>	 I set this; $wgShowDebug = true;
[22:51:08] <marktraceur>	 willwh: You control this wiki, right? Can you look at the error log to see if there's more information there?
[22:51:14] <marktraceur>	 !error
[22:51:14] <wm-bot>	 For information on debugging (including viewing errors), see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug . A list of related configuration variables is at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings#Debug.2Flogging
[22:51:17] <willwh>	 and it doesn't actually show much helpful info
[22:51:32] <willwh>	 want me to gist what I have on that pageload?
[22:51:38] <marktraceur>	 That'd be super
[22:51:41] <willwh>	 from debug
[22:52:15] <willwh>	 https://gist.github.com/willwh/899e77a9349060ea58c5
[22:52:24] <willwh>	 I really appreciate your time btw, great
[22:52:43] <marktraceur>	 No problem :)
[22:53:40] <marktraceur>	 Hm
[22:53:46] <marktraceur>	 Well, you're right, nothing interesting there
[22:53:52] <willwh>	 ah
[22:53:54] <willwh>	 googling around
[22:54:01] <willwh>	 reads like the git repo for smarty is useless
[22:54:02] <marktraceur>	 willwh: Can you check your browser's error log too?
[22:54:09] <willwh>	 and should be downloading the package manually
[22:54:10] <willwh>	 sec
[22:56:58] <willwh>	 ahaha :)
[22:57:24] <willwh>	 so do that, tar -xvf smart.tgz && mv smarty/libs $IP/extensions/Widgets/smarty
[22:57:27] <willwh>	 wsod
[22:57:27] <willwh>	 D:
[22:57:28] <marktraceur>	 Oh, cool.
[22:57:33] <willwh>	 off to tail me some error logs
[22:57:40] <marktraceur>	 Oh, not cool.
[22:57:49] <marktraceur>	 I thought you were saying it was fixed!
[22:57:52] <marktraceur>	 Jumped the gun.
[23:01:27] <willwh>	 ah
[23:01:31] <willwh>	 think I need to grab packages for both
[23:01:51] <willwh>	 i.e. I deployed Widgets from git and it's puking all over the place :P
[23:02:30] <marktraceur>	 Ah, yeah
[23:06:38] <willwh>	 marktraceur: bah
[23:06:44] <willwh>	 I grabbed the latest stable zip of Widgets
[23:06:57] <willwh>	 and then smarty 3.1.19
[23:07:02] <willwh>	 still the same prob
[23:07:11] <marktraceur>	 Hm.
[23:07:34] <marktraceur>	 willwh: I dunno what could be wrong, Widgets isn't something I know much about
[23:10:17] <willwh>	 surprised it's difficult :p
[23:10:59] <marktraceur>	 I'm sure it's not, I just don't have the time right now, sorry
[23:11:51] <willwh>	 np
