[01:41:40] i have created a DerivativeContext and a DerivativeRequest, set my params in the latter and the special:pagetitle in the former. It is calling the special page! hooray. But the request to which that special page has access, cannot see any of the parameters i set in the DerivativeRequest..... any ideas? thanks! [01:45:48] one thought is that I'm calling the wrong method with the DerivativeContent. I am calling ApiMain but when I print its result, I see html markup for ApiHelp. I WANT to see the specialpage I am trying to invoke [01:46:14] the code is at https://dpaste.de/RW7K [01:46:21] * legoktm looks [01:47:24] um [01:47:28] what exactly are you trying to do? [01:47:49] i am trying to redirect from one special page to another, with a different set of params [01:48:53] from FormEdit to FormStart - I have created a custom SemForm to help people name their pages (better) and selecting the correct form to use [01:49:07] http://54.149.69.117:8191/Form:NewPage [01:50:17] this printForm method in the snippet is in the Special:FormEdit code [01:52:08] i have the feeling that ApiMain is the wrong thing to call, because this is not a commandline thing happening [01:53:26] i'm drowning in these context things, when all i want to do is invoke a different specialpage [01:54:39] legktm, very thankful here that you're willing to advise [02:03:56] maybe call dRequest->setRequestURL() ? [02:21:56] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method DerivativeContext::setRequestURL() [02:22:24] this is flatly contradicted by the documentation which says that setRequestURL is inherited from FauxRequest [02:22:38] oops context here. wait [02:58:28] I just bought a domain name for my wiki. Can I just change the variables in LocalSettings.php that refer to the old name? [02:59:14] Assuming the domain is properly configured, sure. [02:59:43] The domain needs to be pointing to the appropriate Web server and the Web server needs to be configured to handle requests. [02:59:55] Yes, that's ok. [03:01:08] I get a redirect from http://newdomain/ to http://newdomain/wiki/ to http://olddomain/wiki/Main [03:01:28] So it's just mediawiki redirecting me. [03:02:27] Check LocalSettings.php. [03:04:50] Also, if I've got two domains + the default one, and I want a query from one of those two to keep on the same address, but any other to go to one of my new domain, can I just play with $wgServer? [03:06:20] Oh wait, it already works like this. [03:06:57] It's only http://anything/wiki/ that redirect to $wgServer [03:07:04] Solution accepted. [03:10:16] I have a valid image title but when I call wfFindFile( $imgtitle ); it returns null, I don't get why [03:12:36] it happens at line 128 in RepoGroup.php after $title = File::normalizeTitle( $title ); [03:34:31] how can I get real link of a file instead of a link with mwstore:// ? [03:56:58] getZoneUrl('public') worked [03:57:02] thx [09:02:55] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Countdown?action=edit blabla [09:03:03] is there a lua version somewhere with hours ? [09:05:26] ah yes, on wikipedia :-) [09:45:38] Quick question for you guys, how would I query a page with JS to get the name of the creator?

Who? are they ok? [16:52:03] ah, someone told me in pm, thanks. [17:33:01] hello. what is the easiest way to restrict read access to unreviewed pages in a wiki? (it is enough that users without an account cannot normally read them.) It does not need absolute security, as the hidden pages are usually just "not finished". [17:33:24] I just want to prevent google from indexing it and users accidentally reading them. [17:40:46] none of the extensions appears to be maintained. [17:52:20] probably maintaining that whitelist for unregistered users in $wgWhitelistRead is the easiest, right? [17:54:52] Hi all! [17:55:22] Am I the only one whose $wgResourceBasePath is unset but referenced in LocalSettings.php in 1.24.2? [17:56:46] $wgRightsIcon is set to "{wgResourceBasePath}/resources/assets/licenses/gnu-fdl.png" since this patch was applied: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki.cvs/299097 [17:57:15] but in my installation, the code for setting $wgResourceBasePath is not executed when $wgRightsIcon is set in LocalSettings.php [17:57:18] so I get an invalid path [17:59:11] The LocalSettings.php autogenerated by 1.24.2 installer also doesn't define $wgResourceBasePath [18:01:00] ok, it's an unfixed bug indeed: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T93505 [19:06:25] I have some old skin code that is adding a style sheet within

any help would be appreciated. [19:07:20] one talk page post referencing a resource loader group "noscript" but stating nothing about how it works [19:08:04] and the actual docs for it are less than helpful; in some cases being completely empty sections and in others just stating the obvious such as "group" "Defines the group this module should be loaded with." - yeah I could figure that from the name of it. [19:24:20] hi - what's the secret sauce for displaying a special:page in a different tab/window? The display of this page is under program control not user control, so I'm asking about some api, not what user actions, are necessary? thanks very much [19:58:00] :o/ [19:58:12] Im getting this error: [19:58:12] [9d3e9411] 2015-04-18 19:56:49: Fatal exception of type MWException [19:58:20] when I try to upload a file in my selfhosted mediawiki [20:06:40] aelevadoan: add "$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;" to LocalSettings.php to see the actual error message. [20:06:58] Yaron: thanks :) [20:07:22] Yaron: thats the debuging for Fatal Exceptions in general? [20:09:57] Yaron: do I include it at the end? [20:12:44] Yaron: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10846854/ [20:13:47] Could not acquire lock for 'Hablitar-acceso-gmail-thunderbird-1.jpg.' [20:18:04] hi yaron - wondering if you have a moment to chat about how to create a form for adding new pages.... have you thought about how to do this? [20:18:55] aelevadoan, that message often displays when the file directory does not have the right permissions [20:19:10] hypergrove: the images directory has 775 permissions [20:19:27] drwxrwxr-x 2 funga funga 4096 Dec 17 15:11 images [20:19:51] is it just me or should this be adding and not setting [20:19:52] https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/php/Html_8php_source.html#l00717 [20:20:01] this code is removing type="text" from my input box. [20:20:44] HTML5 doesn't like input w/o a type attribute [20:20:53] hypergrove: ups, actually I just realised I didnt have the right permissions on my subwiki image folder [20:20:53] aelevadoan, that looks adequate. change the owner from funga to www-data for the entire images directory structure [20:21:05] oh ok [20:21:10] I have a mediawiki farm hypergrove [20:21:22] so each subwiki image directory needs the right permissions aswell [20:21:33] 775 www:data:www:data then? [20:21:36] ups [20:21:44] icons showed up [20:23:01] 775 www-data:www-data, hypergrove? [20:23:31] guess I need to find the proper place to report a bug [20:24:16] not that it'll help me as I'm stuck on 1.24.1 for the time being [20:24:54] Quasar`: "doesn't like"? [20:24:59] won't validate. [20:25:04] type is required [20:25:20] meh. who cares? [20:25:22] and that function appears to add the type and then accidentally removes it by writing over the $attribs array. [20:25:30] has been a text input since like, 1990. [20:25:45] that's not going to change. [20:25:54] well if you like blatantly incorrect logic in your source who am I to argue [20:26:16] i'm just saying that it's no reason to worry. [20:26:29] where can I file documentation on directory permissions in mw? [20:26:42] aelevadoan, that appears correct [20:27:07] hypergrove: which directories should have www-data permissions? [20:27:17] Quasar`: where did you read that the 'type' attribute is not optional, by the way? the spec says it is. [20:27:49] validator must be wrong then (and that wouldn't be a first) [20:27:55] because it says "Line 322, Column 282: Element input is missing required attribute type." [20:28:07] yaron, any chance to chat about a form for adding a new page? [20:28:20] I do pass 'text' to the 3rd argument of Html::input() [20:28:28] but the logic inside that function sheds the attribute. [20:28:36] w3c validator is useless, yes. [20:28:39] doesn't look correct to me. [20:28:51] yeah but that's not a reason to defend this code [20:29:04] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/semantics.html#attr-input-type "The missing value default is the Text state." [20:29:08] I don't believe it's losing the type attribute on purpose [20:29:34] Quasar`: the Html class in MediaWiki does a bunch of "optimizations" which have bitten us in the past [20:29:37] hypergrove: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads [20:29:37] the call that causes it to get lost is just trying to add style mw-ui-input, if you follow it down. [20:29:38] so that might very well be intentional [20:29:46] hypergrove: there it says it should have 755 permissions [20:30:08] so I should just output my tag directly then [20:30:30] it used to have a whole bunch of logic for omitting closing tags that was subtly incorrect, for example. i think that was mercy-killed a few months ago [20:31:05] Quasar`: you can, but why? is most definitely correct, and the validator is most definitely wrong if it says otherwise. (or you're using it with some weird settings) [20:31:44] aelevadoan, ok 755 is fine too. group can't execute not a problem. [20:32:06] since it is actually text and text is the default, I'm fine. [20:32:17] what if I had specified search, email, password, or number however [20:32:23] the type would still be shed by this code. [20:32:30] hypergrove: thanks [20:32:32] and then I'm not getting the specified behavior. [20:35:54] hmm. you sure? [20:36:28] $attribs is overwritten, not concatenated, if the $type is any of those [20:36:48] Quasar`: but getInputAttributes adds thing to the array it is given, it doesn't ignore it [20:39:08] hrmm yeah. [20:39:20] that means it's disappearing somewhere else then [20:39:53] Html is likely stripping the value as identical to default [20:40:37] yup. [20:40:51] I see the code for that now [20:46:28] hypergrove: do you recommend the safe mode for uploading images? [20:46:52] hypergrove: having a images/temp images/archive images/thumb [20:46:53] ? [20:47:11] aelevadoan, i do, that's the one with a flat directory which if you expose the directory to clients, is easiest for them to grok [20:47:29] hypergrove: grok? [20:52:44] ok everything is happy now. apologies for my thick-headedness in missing that it passed it in as well as assigning it. [21:25:03] wow all my problems are fixed -- got rid of the popup form and then did a redirect is good enough for now, forget this business with DerrivativeContext and DerivativeRequest [21:45:43] Hi. ON my site I installed MaintenanceShell extension and added maintenanceshell group which I'm a member of, so now I can run Special:MaintenanceShell but when I run updateArticleCount.php simply nothing changes, the article count doesn't change. any idea why? [22:56:15] hypergrove: I just saw your messages from before. Are you still there?
