[00:05:53] Wondering if there is anyone here? [00:06:26] I 'm looking for a dev to make me an extension (maybe paid)? [00:06:27] PeterBorne: I am about [00:09:09] Or maybe I do not need an extension: so here is what I want to do, I need a feedback form on the bottom of each page wiki. Similar to what microsoft has on their KB pages [00:10:16] Question is: Can I do this as a template and have the form use ajax to post to php and email the feedback? [00:10:56] then I can choose to include the template as I wish, will the php get the page url? [00:12:14] does a template include it's code as if it's part of the page, or is it more like an iframe? [00:25:14] all dead here... [00:25:43] hi PeterBorne [00:26:15] hello, ready for a conversation? [00:26:27] PeterBorne: you might be able to achieve some of that using the InputBox extension. [00:26:28] !e InputBox [00:26:28] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:InputBox [00:28:31] Thanks MatmaRex, I do not see that inputbox can post to php [00:29:46] yeah, it's limited to editing pages. so the best you could do is direct the feedback to a page on your wiki. [00:30:38] PeterBorne: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ArticleFeedbackv5 also exists, but i'm afraid it's completely hopeless [00:31:17] there's https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Comments too, but that might also always show the feedback publicly? no idea if it can be configured [00:31:30] Yeah, tried that one already, gave me the shivers. if you've seen the MS KB page feedback, I want that kind of UI. [00:32:16] do you think it's possible to use the built in ajax and send the input to a php mailer script? [00:32:21] PeterBorne: if you're searching for someone to implement the stuff for you, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Professional_development_and_consulting is a thing. there's a lot of people listed there, but i can't vouch for any, sorry [00:33:00] Thanks, at lease I know where to start [00:33:13] PeterBorne: yeah, i know what you mean, but i don't know any extension that would implement such a thing. :( what you're saying might very well be possible to do. [00:34:46] Thanks, I was looking for that page [00:35:10] Volund: the ShoutWiki logo is a part of the Nimbus skin [00:35:21] yeah seems that way. [00:35:45] * Volund is using Nimbus now, wonders if there's anything more awesome out there though. What are the most popular skins with menus similar to what Nimbus does? [00:36:27] Volund: you might be able to make that and the "more wikis" menu go away, but it's not "officially" supported (and I think it's a nice way to give ShoutWiki some credit :-) [00:37:05] WikiApiary (https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Main_Page) has some statistics on skins (and extensions) and their usage etc. [00:37:33] but I'm horribly biased and I'd only recommend the skins I've written myself: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Jack_Phoenix/extensions ;-) [00:37:41] * Volund will check in a bit. :D [00:37:51] I'm setting up a wiki for a DC comics roleplay MUSH... [00:38:38] and it looks like I just exploded something. -_- [00:38:46] * Volund goes to comment out extensions to see what works [00:51:46] * Volund mutters about composer [00:53:39] I like Linux. I think it's quite elegantly designed. But augh, I hate learning everything all over again. D: [02:43:26] is there a way to insert the current date using VE the way that wikitext allows with ~~~~~? [02:47:49] robla: not that I can see :( [02:57:04] robla: Sure, just type it out. [02:57:40] Katie: ooooohhhhhhhhh! [02:57:48] * robla smacks forehead [03:02:12] :-) [03:09:31] * robla is letting himself get distracted with discussions of Rawls on private channels :-) [03:10:32] * robla meant to make that last snark about himself on a different channel [06:01:17] Hello. I would like to know how to reset the edit and contributions count. Or to make it display an accurate number. I am in the process of clearing out spam pages and the counter is rising as I delete pages. [06:12:47] Hello. I would like to know how to reset the edit and contributions count. Or to make it display an accurate number. I am in the process of clearing out spam pages and the counter is rising as I delete pages. [09:10:18] What can make the time to first byte for a page 9 seconds higher on first view than on repeat view? :o http://www.webpagetest.org/result/150902_VK_F1N/ [11:18:26] does anyone know what mechanism the Special:Search page uses to search in namespaces that aren't searchable by default? I'm wondering if this is something I can use through the normal search API? [11:18:42] e.g. it can search for categories and files [11:20:11] (actually, I may just read the code to find out) [11:23:11] good morning [11:32:27] good morning [11:32:54] hi [11:33:24] I have a problem on our wiki at work that we have been unable to resolve [11:33:36] having difficulties with editing wp in Gchrome, spacebar or movment of cursor does not work. is that a problem of MW or Google Chrome? [11:34:20] mojorhino: go ahead and wait the answer [11:36:19] the problem is that when we link from one page to an anchor on another page that is placed after a div it does not go to the anchor it goes to the bottom of the page [11:36:51] Anchors work when placed before the div but not when placed after them [15:11:10] Does anyone know how to get links to anchors (after collapsed divs) on different pages to work? [15:58:46] I have a question about $wgProfileToDatabase - its notes say to set $wgProfiler to ProfilerSimpleDB, but I can't find that class in the source tree starting at 1.23. A git grep only gives me a result in the release notes [18:03:40] where can I ask questions about Cirrus Search? [18:09:24] !ask [18:09:24] 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. :) [18:09:24] hexmode: #wikimedia-search, although right at this moment that channel's very full of activity. [18:10:05] MatmaRex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:DTTR ;-) [18:10:52] (I love the incredible irony and hypocrisy of linking people to that page, we might as well have {{donttemplatemebro}}) [18:13:01] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Don%27t_template_the_regulars is elitist [18:17:53] Deskana: ty [18:18:30] but since MatmaRex said so... [18:18:59] I have sucessfully set up CirrusSearch for a single wiki. It works great and everything was pretty seamless [18:19:34] I've added another wiki served from the same system and the same mediawiki files [18:20:05] But the CirrusSearch "magic" didn't work and now it looks like I need to bootstrap it somehow [18:20:20] MatmaRex: ideas? [18:21:49] hexmode: sorry, none :( [18:21:51] * MatmaRex hides [19:25:54] repost - I have a question about $wgProfileToDatabase - its notes say to set $wgProfiler to ProfilerSimpleDB, but I can't find that class in the source tree starting at 1.23. A git grep only gives me a result in the release notes [19:26:27] malaverdiere: what do the release notes say? [19:27:18] $wgProfileToDatabase was removed. Set $wgProfiler to ProfilerSimpleDB [19:27:20] in StartProfiler.php instead of using this. [19:28:34] the code tries to instanciate with a class of the same name [19:28:49] malaverdiere: so why don't you set $wgProfiler='ProfilerSimpleDB' ?? [19:29:27] first, because every other example tells me to do $wgProfiler['class'] :) [19:30:32] I don't use profileing... so <$wgProfiler['class'] = 'ProfilerSimpleDB'> is no good? [19:32:10] its been a while I tried this. I think it broke... lemme retry [19:35:37] !wg Profiler [19:35:37] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgProfiler [19:37:45] we're good creating software for document things, but bad at documenting ourselves... [19:38:04] *bad at documenting our own work [19:40:38] :) [19:53:19] Fatal error: Class 'ProfilerSimpleDB' not found in /var/www/html/mediawiki/includes/profiler/Profiler.php if I do $wgProfiler['class'] = "ProfilerSimpleDB"; [19:53:28] But no ['class' works] [19:59:56] malaverdiere: so all is good now? [20:00:16] yep - looks like it [20:02:02] does that contradict the docs? [20:03:36] i failed to get profiling working last week, hence the question [21:41:29] can anyone help with a search problem? [21:41:50] sorry, forgot to say hello first.... Hello! [21:48:56] hello. i'm using MW 1.18 and seem to be having an issue getting the search to match on text enclosed in a pre class=shell tag [21:51:05] is this the right place to ask? [21:59:47] JoeTiVo: normally yes, but we don't support 1.18 anymore. You should upgrade to a supported version (1.23-1.25) [22:12:12] ok, are there any expected issue with a jump from 1.18? [22:13:45] JoeTiVo: Probably not... but make an update just in case if you're worried [22:13:54] s/update/backup/ [22:15:08] right, that's a given ;-) [22:18:25] JoeTiVo: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading#How_do_I_upgrade_from_a_really_old_version.3F_In_one_step.2C_or_in_several_steps.3F [22:19:03] thx
