[03:42:34] hello all, can I know if the Auth_remoteuser extension also allows auto login from mobile phone? [03:42:48] currently it is working well when i use IE on desktop [04:05:12] four: hi! [04:05:18] try it out, see what happens :P [05:16:54] i cant :p i am using localhost haha [05:17:37] you could set up a quasi-server [05:17:49] oh nv heard of it before , will try out.. [05:17:55] like for e.g. I have a mediawiki-vagrant setup and I can access the installation from another pc in the same LAN [05:18:01] (quasi-server is jsut something I made up :P) [05:18:09] but did u use that extension before? [05:18:19] no, just trying to give general advice [05:18:39] ok, i wanna ask something regarding autologin just trying my luck.. [05:19:15] because since it is working on my localhost (after configuring my ie settings to accept intranet zone/trusted sites) when deployed to the live servers, all the users computers are not configured [05:19:29] any idea how to roll out the ie settings to all computers? i read something about group policy but i dunno if i am on the right track lol [05:21:33] four: I think group policy for a compnay domain would work, although I have no idea how to set one up [05:22:12] haha alrighty thanks :) [05:22:15] http://blogs.msdn.com/b/askie/archive/2012/06/05/how-to-configure-internet-explorer-security-zone-sites-using-group-polices.aspx [05:22:16] thanks for always assisting me~~~ [05:22:30] hi ori, thanks for ur reponse [05:22:56] I would like to ask if group policy is only configurable by the administrator? [05:23:09] i'd imagine so [05:23:36] alrighty, thanks~ [05:23:37] the last time i dabbled in active directory and group policy on microsoft networks was 2006 [05:23:46] just worried my auto login using windows authetication wont work when deploy to live server~ [05:24:03] but any idea if the auto login will work on mobile? [05:24:21] since now my site uses our windows credentials to auto login , [05:24:39] and i cannot login using a created mediawiki account~ am i doing it wrong [08:14:01] so installing an extension via composer, I understand there is no need to declare it in LocalSettings.php, right? If so, the only way to disable it is to uninstall it? [09:51:19] hey all, i have a question. [09:51:45] i am currently using the newest page extension to retrieve the recently created article (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Newest_Pages) [09:51:56] and i am showing the top 3, it is showing me the article title [09:52:16] may i ask if it is possible to show the content of those title as well? [09:57:49] not with that extension [09:58:42] omg , are there any other extensions that can do that? [09:58:44] :/ [09:58:54] or could i enhance that extension? :/ [09:59:26] dpl extension may be able to query new pages and also output the contents [10:00:00] hmm [10:00:02] there are two types [10:00:03] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicPageList_(third-party) [10:00:15] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicPageList_(Wikimedia) [10:00:26] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicPageList3 [10:00:27] omg [10:00:31] which one [10:02:34] Extension:DynamicPageList (third-party) [10:05:12] Thanks so much!! i hope it is the one i am looking for.... [10:07:23] that extension is powerful, but also resource-intensive depending on what do you want to output [10:09:37] by any chance are you the developer of that extension? [10:13:17] no [10:26:25] anyone know why this error occurs? [10:26:26] Call to a member function getMaxIncludeSize() [10:26:52] i am using the comments (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Comments)extension, when i tried to edit the page, it gives me that error [10:27:43] uhhh.... [10:27:57] Can you file a bug report about that. [10:31:29] urms [10:31:32] how should i do that? [10:31:39] meaning this is a bug that is not solvable?!!? [10:32:47] Trying to set-up short url's on a Debian/Apache system and the RewriteRule doesn't seem to be even hit... the rewrite log is empty. [10:38:18] hope: It sounds like a bug, neither of the people who know the code base aren't here. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug [10:39:05] omg means i have to change extension? [10:39:14] are there any other comments available in the mediawiki market? [10:42:10] this is the rewrite apache config: http://pastie.org/10256254 [10:42:51] hope: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Discussion_and_forum_extensions [10:43:25] omg thanks vulpix....................... [10:43:27] i really really appreciated it [10:43:40] being a newbie @ mediawiki, i am really thankful for ppl like you!!! [10:43:52] Mandevil\splat: I think you need to set RewriteEngine On first [10:44:03] by the way, what does it mean if the extension is unmantained? is it still advisable to use? [10:44:13] Vulpix: But it's the first statement in the config file! [10:44:38] or in beta [10:45:14] hope: the extension may not be tested in latest versions and may not work [10:45:26] for both beta and unmaintained? [10:47:09] beta usually indicates it can change its features in the short term [10:47:21] some extensions are beta AND unmaintained :) [10:47:53] I seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [10:47:55] hope: Just a question, as I happen to know both maintainers of Comments, what version are you running because I can't find any reference to that function in the code. [10:48:14] really appreciated your help!! [10:48:23] ohhh [10:48:38] I actually took over from another intern [10:48:48] it was already in the localsettings file when I saw it [10:48:53] tried to download new one but it gives me error [10:48:57] how to update ?? lol [10:49:12] according to his comment, it was implemented in ## Extension: Comments> 25.08.14 [10:49:56] Can you go to Special:Version and get me version numbers? [10:50:02] gimi a sec [10:50:38] Comments (Version 2.8) [10:50:56] And MediaWiki version? [10:50:57] lol......... it is already Latest version 4.0.2 (2015-03-27) zzz [10:51:00] 1.22.0 [10:52:10] So which Comments version? 2.8 or 4.0.2? [10:52:24] currnetly my mediawiki is using 2.8 [10:54:28] alrright i gtg.. see ya all in 2hrs!! [11:23:05] is the Graph extension available for older mediawiki versions like 1.19.23? [11:57:43] nytoca: probably not, but i didn't check [11:58:03] 1.19 is quite old though... [12:06:53] DanielK_WMDE_: thank you. I've checked the repo for older versions but didn't found anything other than for version 1.24 and 1.25 [12:08:05] DanielK_WMDE_: i will try if the latest version will work with mediawiki 1.19 [12:52:37] hi there, anybody able to explain me how failed jobs will be handled by mediawiki and especially how i as an extension developer can make sure that my failed jobs get restarted ( i found out that if i "return false" that the job will be locked forever in the jobs table ) [13:08:38] Hi [13:09:17] in mediawiki i able to set session in beckend but in browser it comes and goes with every page refresh [13:09:34] any help is appreicated [13:12:21] Saravanan, how to set a session in backend? [13:13:15] i just enabled session...and i had an script which will capture sso values and set cookie and stores in session file [13:46:23] i just enabled session...and i had an script which will capture sso values and set cookie and stores in session file [13:46:59] every alternative page refresh im able to see my login in page [13:47:04] any pointers please [13:49:19] Saravanan: do you have multiple servers? [13:51:13] also, if cookie path is not correctly set, you may have issues with short URLs (for example, cookie path set to /wiki while your index.php is in /w or directly in /) [13:56:30] Hi all! Does anyone know about this extension, if it is reliable or if there is a better solution https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Google_Analytics_Integration ? Thank you [14:05:44] no [14:05:56] Vulpix: no single server [14:06:16] how to check cookie path [14:06:48] i would like to ask.. [14:07:11] i am using bootstrap skin and it is working fine for all 3 browsers (IE,CHROME, FIREFOX) on my localhost [14:07:28] But when deployed to the live server, it is working fine on both chrome and firefox. [14:07:39] in IE the alignment is screwed up terribly? why is that so ? [14:16:38] throw IE to the rubbish bin [14:17:05] Lol I wish............. [14:17:20] but is the company main browser ....... damn it [14:17:47] check if IE is using the "compatibility" view or something like that [14:18:11] yup it is [14:18:22] .................................... i dun understand. perfect on my localhost man [14:19:55] maybe you need to add a custom HTTP header to force IE using edge mode https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff955275%28v=vs.85%29.aspx [14:20:56] IE does stupid things like using compatibility mode on intranet sites by default [14:21:08] hmmmmmmmmmmm [14:21:13] alright. i will try :) [14:21:25] just trying my luck [14:21:36] i am using the remote auth extension (to enable auto login using windows credentials ) [14:21:43] any idea if it works in mobile? [14:21:57] since i have to configure IE intranet zone in order to allow auto login [14:21:59] does mobile authenticate users on windows? [14:22:24] urms, what do you mean sorry [14:22:39] currently, the users are logging in to the site using the created account in mediawiki [14:23:07] so i tried using the remote auth, the auto login works, and they are no longer able to login using the created account in mediawiki (tried on my localhost) [14:23:50] that makes sense, since you're using login from the domain controller / windows network, not MediaWiki accounts [14:24:05] greetings everyone [14:24:16] hi GEOFBOT! :) [14:24:35] stayed up late and woke up at 10 am :/ [14:24:43] fortunately it is the summer [14:27:09] HI Geofbot ! [14:27:16] Oh I see Vulpix, i thought i am doing it wrong [14:27:21] hi :P [14:27:32] so i guess it wont work on mobile? since ....... it has no IE??! hahaha [14:27:40] damn , cant wait for my internship to end :/ [14:28:16] only Windows Mobile users :P [14:28:52] There must be a better way for authentication? [14:29:49] ok Vulpix, :p [14:29:52] I am not sure [14:30:11] my company wants auto login (their most prioritise) [14:30:23] i'll guess i will check if they are logging in from desktop/browsers then [14:44:35] hope: you said you were from singapore? [14:44:42] just wondering, what languages do you know? [14:47:44] yup [14:47:50] English and Chinese [14:48:47] hope: I only got a little bit of cantonese here in the US :P [14:48:52] can't even read it smh [14:49:28] oh nice [14:49:34] i love cantonese [14:49:39] but i do not speak well either :p [14:51:16] Cantonese has more variety than mandarin [14:51:55] yup! [14:52:20] i feel that it has a sexy accent :p [14:53:48] lol ehehehehe [16:49:37] Question. in the HTML Form documentation it says this: This explanation applies to MediaWiki version 1.23 or thereabouts. [16:49:45] Does that mean it works with 1.24 and 1.25? [16:52:13] Ulfr: where's that documentation? [16:54:50] Ulfr: yea, I think so [17:18:44] Vulpix: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/HTMLForm/tutorial [17:20:50] Yes, it does work but perhaps that page needs to be updated for the new extension registration stuff(?) [17:23:15] Yeah, I figured I might as well try it. Whoever wrote that documentation is quirk [17:23:17] quirky* [17:30:09] git blame! [17:30:16] I mean, uh, use the history :P [17:30:54] we should remove the duplicate extension setup stuff yeah [17:32:28] git for wiki pages :D [17:34:42] when setting up mediawiki on a root server, what daemons to install? Apache, PHP, GD-Image lib [17:34:44] is this all? [17:34:50] or do we need some more? [17:38:51] I think you should think about installing cthulu [17:40:13] thegamer93: but in all seriousness that seems sufficient, if you need more I'm sure you'll find otu [17:40:19] good bless *nix rsync [17:40:24] isn't there similar on windows? [17:41:24] using rsync with cygwin? :P I'm not sure if that would work, though [17:42:18] Axelei: lol, I said that without thinking much, but apparently that's possible http://stackoverflow.com/questions/807053/cygwin-rsync [17:42:48] cygwin is a bit overkill for a median user [17:43:44] isn't cygwin a form of penguin? [17:43:59] it's more like a cygnus [17:44:05] also i've found this: https://www.itefix.net/cwrsync [17:44:12] any volunteer to test it? [17:46:57] Axelei: imo if you keep files on windows that need something like rsync you don't deserve vic-- volunteers [17:47:18] haha [17:47:23] i'm afraid you are right [17:47:45] it seems to work tho [17:50:59] Until windows update steals into your computer in the night and reboots it on you D: [17:51:33] hide yo files, hide yo folders [19:36:42] hi together, i have some trouble with my wikimedia. I need to create a Infox box. I have copy & paste a sample but on my wiki instance, the code isnt working :/ Anyone idea? [19:38:08] Hi BenLue, which infobox code exactly (link welcome)? What does "not working" mean? If it's a public MediaWiki instance, could you share a link? [19:39:04] BenLue: copying infoboxes from Wikipedia (if that's what you did) is very rarely a good idea, that said you must not use c&p but import: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Import [19:39:40] And then there is the CSS and sometimes even JS [19:41:08] http://de.tinypic.com/r/1zla9t3/8 [19:44:01] And then there is the CSS and sometimes even JS? [19:44:16] thats a little tricky? [20:14:17] andre__: http://s3root.net/mediawiki/index.php/Vagrant_%28Software%29 [20:16:07] BenLue, well, http://s3root.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Vorlage:Infobox_Software does not exist [20:16:25] so if you copied and pasted something, the question is where it was pasted. :) [20:23:36] andre__: i need this layout: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagrant_%28Software%29 [20:24:02] I understand that. And Nemo explained above what to do. [20:24:02] Vorlage:Infobox_Software exist now [20:24:16] Vorlage = Template [20:25:05] Lord-Simon: thx [20:25:10] BenLue, maybe that page exists now, but it does not include the template. [20:25:44] because http://s3root.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Vorlage:Infobox_Software does not include template but just a wikipage [20:25:51] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_software [20:27:15] I think you should read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates/de [20:28:11] Why are you creating a normal page in a Template namespace ? [20:30:16] Lord-Simon: im working first time with wikimedia [20:33:15] BenLue: it's actually MediaWiki :) [20:33:24] ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Differences_between_Wikipedia,_Wikimedia,_MediaWiki,_and_wiki ) [20:33:41] * Lord-Simon points to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents/de [20:35:32] urrgs :D My Instance is powered by http://www.mediawiki.org/ [20:35:51] sry :) [21:03:42] is there an estimate when the mw release comes out today? [21:07:21] When it's done ? [21:08:17] code is never done [21:09:44] there's usually a pre-release announcement by now [21:10:06] is it rescheduled? [21:17:11] UserProd: if there was no pre-release announcement, don't expect a security release [21:21:34] hi, is there a way to delete all the pages created with a foreign ip address? [21:21:41] I have to fight massive spam [21:22:13] have you tried checkuser extension? [21:24:49] Axelei, going to test it thanks [21:25:08] you can try nuke extension too [21:25:24] which is specialized on mass deleting pages by a particular user [21:36:10] legoktm: thanks! [23:36:34] Hi. I am fairly new to mediawiki. I am currently running into an issue trying to upgrade from mediawiki 1.22.6 to 1.23.9. As soon as I extract the files into the wiki directory and run php update.php, the site style breaks. [23:36:44] Has anyone run into this before? [23:51:44] potato_farmer: what do you mean by breaks?
