[03:13:50] Good evening, I'm trying to install v1.19 on godaddy using php 5.2 (the newest I can use at the time) and upon runing mw-config/index.php the following error apears: Fatal error: Class 'RequestContext' not found in (I deleted the rest that goes here)/w/includes/Setup.php on line 479. Line 479 of setup.exe contains: "$wgUser = RequestContext::getMain()->getUser(); # BackCompat". Any idea of what could this be? [03:49:16] Evening all. [03:49:54] HODOR! [03:50:02] LOL. [03:51:18] I have an odd question. The version of MediaWiki I'm using seems to have changed how something is, visually. In a previous version, when I put a background color in a header, the background was roughly aligned with the text. The version of MW I'm using now, the block of color around the text in table headers is waaaaay huge above and below the text. [03:51:38] capitalism is a crime against humanity [03:52:07] Is there any particular place I could go to adjust this? I don'th ave anything that I can find in the actual MW code in my Vector.css or otherwise that adds this extra space. [04:19:27] Nemo_bis: Kinda a late reply, but no, not really, just feeling a tad burned out due to exams at school [09:59:50] hey all, not sure so i just want to check if I can ask some questions about mediawiki extensions? [10:00:07] *1 question [10:03:15] okay maybe ill just ask anyway, installed the bootstrap extension and bootstrap skin, but now when i visit the page my apache2/error.log outputs the following error: File does not exist: %location%/wiki/skins/bootstrap/bootstrap/less. I have the LESS extension installed but I checked the dir it's complaining about and there is no less located there, I extracted from the tarball and it's the default extract. Any help would be [10:03:16] greatly appreciated. [10:33:17] Hi. How can I disable "File usage" section in Mediawiki? [13:16:38] On my wiki I cant save edits whn using with Extension:MobileFrontend. When I try to save there is an error message "Fehler. Die Bearbeitung wurde nicht gespeichert. [13:37:51] I got it: Somewhere should be said that right "writeapi" is necccesary. [13:53:11] Hi. How can I disable "File usage" section in Mediawiki? [15:42:15] Hey all, anyone know if it's at all possible to install VisualEditor on Bootstrapskin? [15:42:41] jin2: It's not supported (we've never tested it), but it should be do-able. [15:42:58] jin2: Some changes may be needed to get it to work, however. I don't know anything about Bootstrapskin. [15:43:52] I've checked a few pages online which advised on the same thing. Thanks James_F. with regards to your suggestion im thinking it will be something along the lines of having the edit button/URL for bootstrapskin redirect and make use of the visualeditor? [15:45:05] jin2: Eh. It may be a bit more than that. VisualEditor assumes a standard skin configuration in the page (div#mw-content etc.) which some skin makers haven't adopted. Potentially it might 'just work', but equally you might need to put in some additional classes or controls. [15:45:14] jin2: Sorry I'm not more help! [15:47:01] ah I figured it would be the case, hmmm Ill see what my options are for my setup, anyhow thanks for all the guidance/tips man really appreciate it :) Have a nice eve/day further! [16:07:57] Any chance I could get some help with a transwikied template that's acting up? [16:08:25] http://safiria.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Safirian_general_election,_2528 I want to fix or remove the wonky references to shortname templates at the bottom of this infobox, but can't make heads or tails of {{infobox election}}. [16:35:46] hi, I have a question about the user guide on PlanPlus. I'd like a printable version, is it available? [16:36:23] what is planplus? [16:36:50] Good question. [16:37:13] It helps cultivate a Culture of Productivity™ apparently. [16:37:23] That can't possibly be a registered trademark. [16:38:13] :( [16:38:59] http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4801:6lu1vq.2.1 it is [16:40:36] <^d> lol wut? [16:41:01] Wow. [16:41:09] Nice, I have an excuse to be lazy [16:41:28] We tried tobe productive, but the seat of productivity was already regoistered [16:42:09] I'm busy working on copyright, but I'm coming after stupid trademarks next. [16:42:16] Too lazy to do a proper paraphrasis [16:46:45] apparently Copyright™ has been trademarked since 1998 [16:47:46] Anyone? [17:53:43] :< [17:55:25] No more Carl? [17:57:53] is it possible that a cache needs to be cleared somewhere to make new categories appear in the MsCatSelect extension? [18:15:56] where should I start if I want to contribute through GSoC 2015 ? , skills I have : PHP, JavaScript [18:15:57] wmat: You can try a null edit. [18:15:58] Or purging. [18:15:59] Hi. [18:15:59] I have this very weird error all of a sudden. All of my pages which contain images in local MW has broken images now, and the pages are being categorized as: Pages with broken file links [18:16:00] This has also happened before, then I did get it fixed somehow [18:16:00] It reappeared today, again, after an update [18:16:01] I tried running rebuildall.php [18:16:02] Which doesn't help [18:16:03] What's the HTML output of a [[File:foo.png]] look like? [18:16:04] Are the paths broken? [18:16:04] Can you load thumbnails directly in your browser? [18:16:04] Can you load original images directly in your browser? [20:24:34] I have added ContentTranslation extension in my local domain. When i click on "Create new Translation" button nothing is happening, no dialog box appears for the translation. [20:24:53] How can i fix this? [20:28:26] phoenix303: check the error console of the browser to see if there's any JavaScript error displayed there that prevents the extension from working [20:31:41] Vulpix: i could not see any JS error in the browser console [20:34:11] Vulpix : GET http://localhost/core/index.php/127.0.0.1:8000/languagepairs error message [20:34:39] HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found [20:36:08] that looks like it has problems generating a correct URL [20:37:58] phoenix303: your wiki URL is at http://localhost/core/index.php ? [20:38:36] yes [20:43:32] I don't see that bug reported, so it may be a good idea to report it [20:44:16] thanks Vulpix [20:44:24] I'll report it [20:44:38] I have never used that extension, and I'm unable to access it apparently on wikipedia, where it's installed :( - well, I don't know how to access it [21:50:42] I have an open question [21:51:18] When devloping content for mediawiki like sites... Is it reasonable to assume that a user will make all kinds of changes based on preffered style? [21:52:28] Thusly... I was wondering if there are ways to change how line and paragraph breaks are handled on a per user basis? (some people prefer dual line break at paragrpahs for example..) [21:52:59] Alternativly, is there a straightforward wat to have per-user document styles? [21:53:20] (i.e a way to confugre the styles more easily than direct CSS editing?) [22:01:29] Qcoder00: I guess you could add a setting for it, but preference crowding is already an issue [22:01:35] I imagine you could make it a gadget [22:06:01] Or extension? [22:06:47] Ideally for a project like wikisource , style per Index: would be useful... over the current (and marginally) broken Dyanmic layouts [22:15:05] Qcoder00: It could be an extension, but...that would just add more preferences [22:15:22] Per-page styling is probably on the wishlist already. [22:15:28] I feel like jdlrobson has spoken about it. [22:15:44] Can Gadgets add their own tabs to preferences? [22:15:57] Twinkle ought to, but has it's own configuration page [22:16:07] Qcoder00: No, because we don't load JS on Special:Preferences [22:16:22] I assume there is a technical reason for this? [22:16:35] Qcoder00: Security, yes. [22:16:52] Qcoder00: And if you add a JS bug that blanks the page, we want you to be able to turn the gadget off [22:17:29] * Qcoder00 considers starting a pHab task... asking for a Gadgets to have access to some kind of grouped Gadget-preferences page [22:18:02] Or a configuration API [22:19:20] and an Extensions page that looks more like the Add-ons page in firefox... [22:19:52] Currently some 'extensions' annd scripts are ad-hoc installed... [22:20:35] And I probably mean 'Gadgets' here.... Extensison meaning something completly different in Mediawiki terms... [22:20:39] Qcoder00, configuration of gadgets is on the Gadgets roadmap (see [[mw:Gadgets 2.0]] and [[mw:Gadgets 3.0]]) [22:20:52] OK well if that's in the pipeline [22:20:54] Good [22:21:09] Is something akin to an App-Store also being considered? [22:21:33] I happen to like the way Firefox does it... [22:21:46] I think it is one of the items in the section for 3.0 above [22:21:55] Not that it's design would be appropriate to a PHP based scheme like Mediawiki [22:22:57] Qcoder00, you might want to watch https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T31272 [22:23:05] or its blockers [22:23:10] <^d> Can I install MediaWiki from the apple app store? [22:24:00] Helder: Hmm, 0n something there.... can you sign 'gadgets' with a secure hash? [22:24:06] Anyway [22:24:35] I don't know [22:38:39] could anyone advise me on a good setup to make the most of a 2gb vps hosting primarily mediawiki but also a few small wordpress sites? currently i've got apache, mariaDB, hhvm with varnish on front. i'd like to add TLS for at least logged in users - through apache skipping varnish or with nginx in front of varnish or ..? alternatively, i'm wondering if it's worth using nginx instead of apache and whether varnish is then worthwhile? [23:29:37] Apache with Varnish in front is a fine setup. [23:29:40] ratta: ^ [23:29:56] Choosing nginx v. Apache is really a personal decision. You should use what you're most comfortable with. [23:30:00] Both should be fine with MediaWiki. [23:30:30] As for performance tuning, you typically want to avoid premature optimization. Set up your wikis and WordPress sites and see if they're fast enough. If not, you can adjust (add caching, tweak settings, etc.) as necessary. [23:31:08] SSL/TLS is a bit orthogonal. MediaWiki certainly supports HTTPS only for logged in users, but it's probably simpler to have HTTPS for everything. [23:31:19] Not sure about WordPress' partial HTTPS support. [23:35:34] Fiona: thanks, that makes sense. i'll stick with Apache for now then, and set up the wiki https through apache for logged in users, and anons can go through varnish as they do now. the wordpress sites are less important so i'll figure out their https later. thanks a lot!
