[04:37:28] <Reception123>	 I am helping some users create a wiki but when I log in I still see an IP address instead of my username. (CentralAuth is installed) Anyone know what the problem is?
[04:38:12] <comets>	 cache problems, try ctrl+f5
[04:39:38] <Reception123>	 This is a problem for everyone
[04:39:47] <Reception123>	 The wiki has just installed 2 days ago..
[04:39:57] <Reception123>	 Would it help if I have you the GitHub>
[04:39:58] <Reception123>	 ?
[04:40:14] <White_Master>	 Reception123, the error is?
[04:40:35] <Reception123>	 When anyone logs in, they still show up as an IP address (their IP)
[04:41:12] <Reception123>	 instead of their username..
[04:42:36] <p858snake>	 are you sure they are logged in? eg: if they edit, what does the page history say?
[04:42:56] <p858snake>	 why are you using centralauth over say shared tables?
[04:43:23] <Reception123>	 Well because our project is for creating wiki-farms.. so we need centralauth
[04:44:00] <p858snake>	 haved you looked at shared tables to see if it will do what you want?
[04:44:22] <Reception123>	 I'm not good at coding. How exactly do I do that?
[04:47:13] <p858snake>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Shared_database & https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family#Scenario_4:_Multiple_wikis_sharing_common_resources 
[04:49:11] <White_Master>	 CA is the evil.
[04:49:44] <comets>	 teh evilest..
[04:50:37] <Reception123>	 :)
[04:51:13] <Reception123>	 I will probably speak to the users that are creating it when they come back.. This stuff is to complicated for an amateur like me..
[05:00:42] <legoktm>	 never ever ever use centralauth
[05:00:56] <legoktm>	 that is all.
[05:01:52] <White_Master>	 legoktm, too late, too late.
[05:06:26] <legoktm>	 :(
[05:23:47] <p858snake>	 i bet legoktm has evil plans to liberate the wmf wikis from central auth
[05:23:59] <legoktm>	 evil-plans2.txt
[05:24:02] <legoktm>	 I should write that.
[05:24:34] <legoktm>	 well basically it's:
[05:24:47] <legoktm>	 * synchronize local user ids to be the same as the global id
[05:25:17] <legoktm>	 * move centralauth.globaluser table to be a global `user` table
[05:25:27] <legoktm>	 * implement SSO in core
[05:25:40] <legoktm>	 * split crap like global userrights into their own extensions
[05:25:48] <legoktm>	 * wikisets --> core for configuration probably
[05:26:04] <legoktm>	 * global rename goes back into Renameuser
[05:26:08] <legoktm>	 * global user merge goes into the trash can
[05:26:25] <legoktm>	 aaand that's it for now.
[05:27:23] <p858snake>	 we could track this in phab! #legoktms-evil-plans-2
[05:28:15] <legoktm>	 haha
[05:41:39] <legoktm>	 ok, it's at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Legoktm/evil-plans2.txt now
[05:45:25] * p858snake awards legoktm a half barnstarn
[06:07:59] <bluethundr>	 hey all.. for some reason my site goes down whenever I try to use an external datbase 
[06:08:13] <bluethundr>	 with Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.
[06:08:20] <bluethundr>	 how can I troubleshoot this?
[06:16:14] <legoktm>	 !debug
[06:16:14] <wm-bot>	 For information on debugging (including viewing errors), see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug . A list of related configuration variables is at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings#Debug.2Flogging
[06:16:19] <legoktm>	 bluethundr: ^ have you tried those?
[06:17:35] <bluethundr>	 well I've been able to verify that I can log into the remote database using the login credentials stored in LocalSettings.php
[06:17:41] <bluethundr>	 I can also use the database
[06:18:18] <bluethundr>	 so what I'm wondering is, if I can take the login settings from the LocalSettings.php file directly and use them on the command line, why would mediawiki not be able to use those settings?
[06:19:26] <bluethundr>	 but i haven't tried any of those advanced troubleshooting tips yet
[06:19:32] <bluethundr>	 I'll give some of them a shot
[06:19:37] <bluethundr>	 hope I can make some progress with this
[06:26:44] <bluethundr>	 ok now I've enabled some of the SQL debugging messages
[06:26:46] <bluethundr>	 and now I get this
[06:26:47] <bluethundr>	 http://pastie.org/10311079
[06:27:12] <bluethundr>	 it tells me that my password needs to be updated and/or to remove old_passwords from my.cnf
[06:27:29] <bluethundr>	 I tried both of those pieces of advice from the error, but the error remains
[06:28:03] <bluethundr>	 I'm going to mariadb 10 on the db side.. not sure if that makes a difference
[06:28:48] <bluethundr>	 I'm also using php 5.4.43
[06:32:36] <bluethundr>	 oh interesting
[06:32:51] <bluethundr>	 if I remove all my SSL settings from my my.cnf the site works with my non-ssl user
[06:32:56] <bluethundr>	 but that's lame
[06:33:04] <bluethundr>	 I need to use the site with SSL
[06:33:24] <bluethundr>	 cuz there's like sensitive stuff in the databse like passwords and stuff
[06:33:34] <bluethundr>	 I have apache basic auth on the front end
[06:36:52] <bluethundr>	 I think my problem is that I need to find a way to get PHP to use ssl connections to the database
[06:40:28] <bluethundr>	 or maybe it's mediawiki that i need to have accept an ssl enabled user?
[14:08:26] <decci>	 Hi
[14:09:07] <PJosepherum>	 morning
[14:09:10] <decci>	 I am able to export xls to wiki but it is just read only
[14:09:42] <decci>	 Any idea what tool can help me
[14:11:47] <PJosepherum>	 that's a spreadsheet right? what have you exported, and what are you trying to do that read-only privileges causes issues?
[14:12:46] <decci>	 I usually maintain the excel sheet to track the product issues, roadmap and project completion.
[14:13:21] <decci>	 Now to show to my peers I created a wiki
[14:13:45] <decci>	 So that it is easily accessible
[14:14:17] <decci>	 I used excel2wiki software and able to convert
[14:14:34] <PJosepherum>	 so do you just want to upload it as a file?
[14:14:34] <decci>	 But it just put it as static page.
[14:14:57] <decci>	 No..
[14:15:05] <PJosepherum>	 using something like https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Spreadsheet ?
[14:15:22] <PJosepherum>	 or uh, does mediawiki support exporting wikitext as xls?
[14:15:29] <PJosepherum>	 i've not come across this before
[14:15:52] <decci>	 As in excel sheet I can filter out the status
[14:17:00] <PJosepherum>	 ok, so where are you getting the read only issue?
[14:57:16] <PJosepherum>	 hey does anybody have experience debugging Echo extension on 1.25.1?
[14:57:55] <PJosepherum>	 some days are appearing in the list with missing items http://i.imgur.com/wGX6KHA.png
[14:58:09] <PJosepherum>	 Also I am finding that notifications for messages appear in conjunction with Extension:Flow, however no items appear in the list. I have deleted the tables from the database and run update.php again to reinstall, but the issues persist.

[15:45:23] <wm-bot>	 Hello, I'm wm-bot. The database for this channel is published at http://bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/db/%23mediawiki.htm More about WM-Bot: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/wm-bot
[16:28:31] <bluethundr>	 hey guys.. is it possible to get mediawiki to use an ssl enabled user to contact the database?
[16:28:34] <bluethundr>	 if so, how?
[21:06:25] <symac>	 Hello, trying to get content from API using wbsearchentities on wikidata, I always get results in French (my browser default setting) even if I try to change the Accept-Language header, do you know what I need to do to change this behavior? The code I am using in JS is there : https://gist.github.com/symac/d769d9eb729bc2bf3baf Any advice welcome!
[21:12:59] <Nemo_bis>	 symac: accept-language doesn't matter if you're logged in
[21:13:21] <Nemo_bis>	 try &uselang=en
[21:14:21] <symac>	 Nemo_bis: thanks, thanks, thanks!
[21:14:36] <symac>	 (this is the solution)
[21:16:00] <Nemo_bis>	 :)
