[04:11:37] Hey, I'm trying to write an extension that injects some html right after the content, the SkinAfterContent hook happens right before the content div is closed, is there a different hook that can be called to inject stuff just outside that? [04:12:04] Like, right before the footer. [08:29:44] How do I add who did the edit after "This page was last modified on" on my Mediawiki ? Extension? Edit "Vector" somehow? Other idea? [08:31:35] Or do I ask in the wrong channel? [08:56:49] MikaelLindmark: this channel is quite right [08:56:52] do you have an example? [08:57:10] it's common to have this with the MobileFrontend extension for mobile web view. [08:57:26] do you see it anywhere on a desktop site? [08:58:56] I remember some discussion recently about an extension that adds (or a core feature?) that adds a "Sandbox" link to the top personal bar. [08:59:45] It exists in some Wikipedias as a default gadget, for example English and Hebrew, but I remember that it is being converted to an extension, or something along these lines. [08:59:56] Nemo_bis: ^ do you happen to know? [09:11:04] MikaelLindmark: do you mean the footer? [09:49:12] Nemo_bis: Yes. [09:50:58] aharoni: Example: "This page was last modified on 3 April 2015, at 22:50." I want it to be "This page was last modified on 3 April 2015, at 22:50 by MrFooBar". [09:52:14] (Sorry for my bad English) [09:52:59] MikaelLindmark: I am not familiar with a particular feature that does it... it can be quite easily changed by editing the PHP code around where the 'lastmodifiedat' message is used. [09:53:13] *maybe* somebody already did that, but I cannot think of anything in particular. [09:53:14] ok [09:53:47] editing PHP locally is usually not a good idea, because it will be overwritten when upgrading. [09:53:59] if you can add such a thing and commit a patch to Gerrit, it will be nice. [09:54:05] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/TLDR [09:54:24] aharoni: oh, thanks. [09:55:14] aharoni: My users also want it on the top, not in the bottom. Do I fix that in the Vector-skin or with CSS? [09:55:34] MikaelLindmark: make your own skin? :) [09:56:12] I'm not very familiar with skins, I only fix little bugs in Vector occasionally. maybe matmarex will have a better idea, but he's not around now. [09:58:16] aharoni: OK. Thanks. More easy to make an extension to fix that? But what hook should I use? [09:59:10] MikaelLindmark: see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skins [09:59:33] maybe making your own skin based on Vector is a good idea, but as I said, I'm really not an expert with skins. [10:02:38] aharoni: Thanks. Alot of reading! :) [10:06:01] MikaelLindmark: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LastModified does the move [10:09:14] Nemo_bis: Cool! Thanks! [10:12:15] Nemo_bis: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Timestamp_position_modification is interesting! [10:19:42] Nemo_bis: Thanks. Works perfect! [10:35:21] MikaelLindmark: good, remember to report any suggestion and to say on talk page that it worked for you :) it's useful info when one digs extensions [11:46:56] #libreidea is looking for devs-js php to add an essential functionality >> full details here: http://www.libreidea.org/w/index.php/Collaborative_matrix [12:06:02] Hi! Some of my user on my department-wiki didn't set their real user name. Is there any extension I can use to set the real name of these users? [12:40:42] . [12:40:42] did usa intelligence supply isis with weapons like they did with al-qaeda to justify creating wars? [12:40:42] did usa excute the creative mess in the middle east like they said they will, does the creative mess include explosions with uncertain responsibles to create wars? [12:40:43] I was prevented on facebook & twitter. So plz, send my qs to help limiting usa & israel aggression against others may then lessen number of people killed in the middle east. [12:40:43] .did usa intelligence supply isis with weapons like they did with al-qaeda to justify creating wars?

[12:41:39] <^d> And now you're prevented on Freenode too [14:39:52] is there an Microsoft Office Word Add-in For MediaWiki ? [14:40:09] any URL link sample that has it? [14:40:33] daixtr: What would that add-in do? [14:43:49] daixtr: I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but here is a link: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MsLinks [14:53:23] to make it easier for Windows MSOffice docs to get into wiki [14:53:42] i dunno.. maybe just a rich GUI editor... [14:54:02] i'm seeing this latest CKEditor today.. can this be integrated into the wiki? [14:54:58] i am torn between moin vs mediawiki.. and now, the main user's reuqest/issues are in the GUI editor... [14:56:57] daixtr: Mediawiki has VisualEditor extension. Microsoft has on their download page an add-in for MS Word which allows saving in Mediawiki markup format. [14:57:05] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor [15:07:56] yes.. i saw it [15:09:09] sorry.. [15:09:19] so, this visual editor is a wiki-plugin ? [15:09:39] daixtr: It is an extension. [15:11:12] daixtr: It's like a plugin. You can enable and disable it, etc [15:12:20] daixtr: Just follow the instructions on the page. [20:41:39] hey everybody; I updated to 1.24 but now the wikieditor extension isn't working properly anymore. it is still activated but the toolbar is missing. I couldn't solve my problem following old threads — do you have any idea? [20:42:45] wikieditor: did you upgrade extensions as well? did you run update.php? did you copied new files on an empty folder instead of overwriting the old installation folder? [20:44:23] I upgraded them & did run update.php but you've lost me on your third point :( what did you mean concerning new files and an empty folder? [20:46:32] wikieditor, anything in JS console? [20:47:21] nope, I looked through the log but couldn't find the error [20:49:00] if you put new files over the old ones, it can cause problems: old files remaining that aren't needed but may confuse MediaWiki, a failed copy of new files leave a mix of old vs new files, etc. You usually should upgrade to a new empty folder and move images/settings/etc to the new folder [20:49:21] for minor upgrades (1.24.0 --> 1.24.2) that's not important [20:51:01] hmm, that might be the problem [20:51:30] thank you! I'll try to figure it out using a backup [22:16:02] I have a mw 1.17 database and a newly configured mw 1.25 wiki -> how do I get the data from the 1.17 db into the 1.25 db? I'd LIKE to just point the mw 1.25 install to the mw 1.24 db, and run the update script .... would that work? [22:16:20] I have a mw 1.17 database and a newly configured mw 1.25 wiki -> how do I get the data from the 1.17 db into the 1.25 db? I'd LIKE to just point the mw 1.25 install to the mw 1.17 db, and run the update script .... would that work? [22:17:37] ... would that update the database schema in the 1.17 db to that for a 1.25 db? [22:22:11] any thoughts about this would be appreciated. Done a db backup so I guess I'll just go ahead and run the update script? [22:30:35] ok I've run the update and am having a big problem. http://64.146.253.228:8108/Test shows my problem quite clearly -- my template calls are not being performed -- it's a real mess and hope someone can take a look at this [22:31:23] checking logs [22:32:17] the logs are empty ... http://64.146.253.228:8108/Test is such a mess -- I've not a clue why this is happening [22:51:22] Someone should make the error condition of missing composer dependencies not suck [22:52:21] http://64.146.253.228:8108/Main_Page is a good example of my problem too. It seems related to the database, as I don't have this problem otherwise. [22:54:46] hypergrove: I just logged into irc, so may be missing context, but looks like you are missing various extensions [22:55:07] Also, invalid html (without tidy) is causing the tabs to show up in wrong place [22:57:45] bawolff, thank you for looking at this problem [22:58:02] it should be at this point a vanilla install [22:59:01] yeah, vanilla mediawiki with content depending on extensions is not going to look very nice [23:01:03] omg i see what you mean - these are parser functions not yet installed. doh
