[00:33:21] after having issues trying to install an extension, I used git to install a fresh copy of MediaWiki, but when I enter the address to the index.php script to begin installation, I just get an error that says LightnCandy class not defined. This has been happening to me and my friend multiple times. Any idea why? [00:42:59] jarrettmunton_: You need to run 'composer install' [00:43:16] jarrettmunton_: There should be something about composer in the install-from-git instructions [00:43:41] oh duh thank you [01:01:16] uninstalled chamelon, installed mediawikibootstrap and now 3 skins are showing in Preferences. Reactivated chamelon in composer.json and got the message again: Expected an accessible /var/www/vendor/twitter/bootstrap path... Deactivated again and message is gone. [01:02:08] actually that path IS wrong. so that's the problem [05:15:32] installing veditor - getting Fatal error: Call to undefined method ResourceLoader::isModuleRegistered() in /var/www/.../VisualEditor/VisualEditor.hooks.php... any ideas? [05:16:45] hypergrove: you need to be running the lastest master [05:16:47] i'm pretty sure i got a clean report when i did the mod update [05:16:55] hypergrove: latest master of mediawiki core* [05:17:04] i am] [05:17:10] no you're not ;) [05:17:18] I know because that function was very recently added [05:19:19] oh i've got a several day old git.. http://52.10.62.76:8191/Special:Version [05:22:47] "composer update" won't update mediawiki it seems [05:30:01] hypergrove: Perhaps try updating absolutely everything using "vagrant git-update" [05:36:06] hypergrove: no, we don't use composer to distribute mediawiki [06:05:28] i've updated and now the error with ve has gone away - thanks very much, you're prescient. [07:44:30] Greetings! I was wondering how do i change the color of a table that have, I know how to change the background of all the table but. I want to have scope="col" a specific color. [07:44:49] im trying this command ! Scope="col"; background-color:#FF9933;| Simptom [07:44:55] but that wont work. [07:46:33] anything i could do ? [07:53:48] I was wondering can i color the background of a specific row in a table? [07:57:31] anyone alive ? [07:57:32] lol [08:23:58] does anyone know a easy way to seperate a paragraphs without double spaces? [09:03:56] I can't find the source of a color code in my wiki. When I inspect the element in Chrome it identifies #F0F0F0 associated to the editOptions class. There is no instance of #F0F0F0 in any of my skin or common css files as far as I'm able to tell. Any idea how to find out where this code is located? [09:45:35] I was wondering how do i change colors in a table anyone alive!? lol [09:57:47] Stinky: You seem to be having fun. But are You saying the method described in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables#Column_width does not work? [10:00:15] let me try it again to make sure [10:01:37] how would i color then if i am using scope="col" | ? [10:01:42] add* [10:01:58] {| class="wikitable" style="color:Black; background-color:#F79646; border-style: solid; border-width: 2px; border-color=black;" [10:01:58] |- [10:01:59] ! scope="col"| Symptom [10:01:59] Symptom: Hello, I'm wm-bot.

Use pastebin or similar service. A good one is mentioned in the topic of this channel [10:03:05] of snap sorry [10:03:31] well can you see it ? [10:04:14] Stinky: No. [10:04:26] Stinky: Going away now. [10:05:02] alright well I use ! scope="col| Basdfasd <-- that and i want to add a background color to that box [10:05:13] *sigh* [13:13:15] Why WMF is not supporting a real mediawiki evolution? [13:15:33] I think you're more likely to get a proper answer if you ask less vague questions. [13:47:05] I'm in Linker:link() and want to return stuff based on the current page the link is used on (not $target). Is RequestContext::getMain()->getTitle() too slow? Is it better return the stuff by default and hide it vis CSS? [13:47:08] **via [14:49:10] Hello, anyone there? [14:49:40] How do you set an image for the borders of the content in the common.css [14:49:41] If it's possible [14:49:49] Like I want the borders to be an image instead of just a line and a color [14:50:50] I'm trying to setup a wiki for my course team. I only want people with a specific email-domain to signup. They need to confirm too before they can make any changes. How do I do this? I have added this http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmailDomainCheck but when I visit the signup page, no email is required [14:51:04] Added $wgEmailConfirmToEdit = true; too to my LocalSettings [15:58:43] [5756] 20 Mar 12:56:46.367 * The server is now ready to accept connections at /tmp/redis.sock -->> however -->> node mwoffliner.js --mwUrl=http://127.0.0.1 --parsoidUrl=http://127.0.0.1:8000/ --adminEmail=wilfredor@gmail.com -->>Error: Redis connection to /dev/shm/redis.sock failed - connect ENOENT [16:01:51] The_Photographer: socket location doesn't match. You should configure the same location for both sides [16:02:05] Vulpix: yes I see [16:02:07] in the source is /dev/shm/redis.sock and not /tmp/redis.sock like in README file [17:01:24] using scribunto in a mediawiki, http://codepad.org/xP2Mjq7K being called via {{#invoke:Test1|test1|Ananas,2-219}} seems to behave correctly for the but not for the . Can anyone explain the correct syntax or behavior. [17:05:47] qgil had problems rendering galleries inside scribunto a while ago. I don't know if he managed to fix the problem [17:15:02] Vulpix, I just got some help in #lua and now understand preprocess needs both tags, http://codepad.org/nuNGDek5 shows an improved and working code. [17:17:34] thanks for the follow up :P [17:52:18] Hey guys, I just cloned MediaWiki an put it on my tool account on labs and it says "Error: LightnCandy class not defined" what should I do? [17:52:57] hmm, resolving submodules perhaps? [17:54:15] ebraminio: Did you make a typo in that error message? [17:54:57] tale: I don't think, http://tools.wmflabs.org/ebraminio-dev/w/ [17:55:53] ebraminio: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug [17:56:34] tale: Well, it is before installation and I don't have LocalSettings.php even [17:57:48] ebraminio: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide [18:02:56] tale: Thank you :) [18:14:59] hi! I'm a beginner in PHP, JS and would like to contribute to Mediawiki. I read through "How to become a MediaWiki hacker" and the "Gerrit tutorial" explains quite nice each step to follow. BUT for beginners I understand is better to start with "Annoying little bugs", which seems to use Phabricator. Now I'm confused. As a beginner, do I need to use both Gerrit and Phabricator? Can someone recommend me a clear(video [18:15:00] or some visuals would be perfect) step by step tutorial for beginners to contribute with code to MediaWiki? thanks [18:21:22] freenux: gerrit is our code review system, and phabricator is our bug tracker, so you'll end up using both [18:21:23] hello [18:21:43] i have to ask something [18:21:52] !ask [18:21:52] Please feel free to ask your question: if anybody who knows the answer is around, they will surely reply. Don't ask for help or for attention before actually asking your question, that's just a waste of time – both yours and everybody else's. :) [18:22:28] is it necessary that we have to complete half of the project before mid term evaluation and the other half after that? [18:22:42] if we could do it a little faster? [18:22:50] will there be any issue..?? [18:23:24] there shouldn't be, but if you're done super early it means your project wasn't hard enough... [18:23:58] no not at all super early... [18:24:15] but according to that i have to set my timeline.. [18:24:41] you shouldn't expect to finish early I think. [18:25:02] Though, you might want to say you'll finish the code early and you'll work on docs and QA stuff in the last week or something [18:25:10] er s/might/could/ [18:25:19] ari___: maybe you should talk to the potential mentor of the project about it? [18:25:32] sorry sir... [18:26:03] sir actually you are only my mentor [18:26:31] my project is: Extension to identify and delete spam pages [18:29:59] i am expecting a reply sir [18:38:53] ari___: oh, sorry! I missed this. [18:39:26] ari___: I'm sorry to say this, but I've already selected a student for this project; as I noted on the Phabricator page. [18:39:38] You can apply, but you won't get accepted. [18:39:43] You should find another project. [18:44:40] %s [18:56:26] but sir so quickly you have selected the student..?? [19:09:39] how can projects be assigned before all students have submitted their proposal...? [19:11:18] ari___: I dont underestand your question [19:14:59] how can gsoc projects be assigned before all students have submitted their proposals.? [20:16:51] no one is answering my question [21:19:36] Hi I would like some help with enabling user kicks on mediawikichat I did this: $wgChatKicks = true; and chat kicks won't work still [21:19:39] :/ [21:28:02] Repton, what is "mediawikichat"? [21:28:16] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MediaWikiChat this [23:29:03] aharoni : How is spellcheck done on any wiki? [23:29:26] ankita-ks: in a lot of different ways :) [23:29:29] if at all :) [23:29:49] Is it implemented in mediawiki? [23:30:38] no [23:30:52] this is not something that core mediawiki cared about [23:31:02] and extensions also never really cared about it [23:31:20] however, in *some* languages people built local gadgets [23:31:32] Persian, Belarusian, Hebrew, Portuguese. [23:31:35] possible some others [23:31:46] and they are all very different. [23:31:58] ah..interesting. [23:32:05] and of course, people can use the spell-checker that is built into the browser [23:32:14] yes, of course. [23:32:33] but the spell-checker in the browser is usually very simple. [23:32:44] people on Wikipedia have more sophisticated needs. [23:32:50] grammar checking, style checking, etc. [23:32:58] the local gadgets on the wikis have it. [23:33:04] definitely on Hebrew, [23:33:19] and probably also on Persian and other languages, but the frameworks are different. [23:33:56] LanguageTool is a free software package that provides something that can be a unified framework, and it's great, but it's not trivial to install it and to add new languages to it. [23:34:07] if you manage to do it, it would be great. [23:35:00] yes, that does sound interesting. It does have a lot of features [23:35:07] and is pretty accurate too. [23:36:03] Let me try adding a test-language rule and see if that is workable. [23:36:31] But are we looking at a separate extension in mediawiki for language proofing? [23:36:58] or just integrate Language Tools (if this is used) with the current core? [23:37:06] ^ aharoni [23:37:30] I'm not sure about core [23:37:44] I'd love it to work with both the old editor and the VisualEditor. [23:37:53] If I have to pick one, I'd pick the VisualEditor. [23:38:07] So if it an be an extra button in VisualEditor, that will already be great. [23:38:44] Interesting, and how do you see the tool being incorporated in the visual editor? [23:38:45] should it be an extra extension? or some kind of a plugin to VisualEditor? I'm not sure [23:38:55] hmm..okay [23:38:58] I'm not much of a VisualEditor developer. [23:39:02] I develop language tools. [23:39:08] Neither am I. ;-) [23:39:33] I did report a lot of bugs in VisualEditor, but I haven't written almost any significant code. [23:40:16] ah..okay..So where can I get a better idea about how to incorporate it as a plugin or make separate extension out of it? [23:40:37] ankita-ks: I do envision how such a tool can work from a high level product perspective pretty, but you'll need somebody who does know VisualEditor well to give you technical advice. [23:40:51] in the #mediawiki-visualeditor channel, possible [23:40:54] possibly [23:41:14] okay..i will do that. In the meantime could you give me high level perspective? [23:41:20] So I can look around on my own as well [23:42:10] ^ aharoni [23:42:41] I need to go to sleep :) can you try to ping me on Sunday? [23:46:14] Sorry. internet disconnected. [23:46:20] aharoni : yes, sure. :)
