I get an error indicating invalid xml declarion centered around a line which contains: [14:26:39] I can't identify which file i need to modify or alter to resolve the invalid xml declaration to get the atom feed working again so users can subscribe to pages such as Special:NewPages [14:26:49] I'm using the Vector theme [14:56:18] kevindank: this won't help with your problem but if you still run 1.17 you have way bigger problems. 1.17 is full of security issues and unsupported for ages [14:56:58] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading [17:14:41] 2015/10/27 17:14:15 [error] 3556#0: *29018 upstream sent too big header while reading response header from upstream, client: 5.187.233.230, server: flarar.cadoth.net, request: "POST /w/index.php?title=Template:Userbox&action=submit HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "flarar.cadoth.net", referrer: [17:14:42] "http://flarar.cadoth.net/w/index.php?title=Template:Userbox&action=edit"2015/10/27 17:14:15 [error] 3556#0: *29018 upstream sent too big header while reading response header from upstream, client: 5.187.233.230, server: flarar.cadoth.net, request: "POST /w/index.php?title=Template:Userbox&action=submit HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "flarar.cadoth.net", referrer: [17:14:43] "http://flarar.cadoth.net/w/index.php?title=Template:Userbox&action=edit" [17:14:44] er [17:14:51] sorry, pasted that multiple times [17:15:51] Hey there: I downloaded and installed Extension:Breadcrumbs2 and need some assistance setting it up. I need to configure Mediawiki:Breadcrumbs @ https://wiki.gamepaduniverse.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Breadcrumbs but can only get the page name to appear. I would generally like to have every page displayed "PadPedia > Namespace > Pagename" if not on main namespace [17:17:12] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BreadCrumbs2 for extension i am using [17:29:51] I think part of my issue is that I don't understand how to create an internal link to a namespace [17:30:07] [[:MediaWiki:Namespace]] seems ineffective [17:30:42] I am new here and have been reading about extensions. I am still confused about what is the difference between tag and parser extension' implementations? Please help :) Thanks. [17:31:03] cuddleguy: "an internal link to a namespace" - as in, the list of all pages in the namespace? [17:31:47] MatmaRex:yes, that would be nice to have, but it is not the root my my problem. [17:31:53] cuddleguy: you can get it at Special:AllPages, something like [[Special:AllPages/Template:]] (replace 'Template' with any other namespace name) [17:32:17] (i don't know anything about the breadcrumbs thing though, sorry) [17:32:46] akangupt: not much. they're just different syntaxes. [17:32:47] thanks matma rex [17:33:02] google search recommends them [17:33:11] mostly for usability [17:35:39] MatmaRex:Do you know much about SEO? [17:35:49] MatmaRex: Thanks :) [17:36:04] no [17:38:13] Does anyone on here familiar with SEO? [17:39:33] Is* [17:45:23] I am new and wanted to know that wiki renders wikitext not html right? [17:46:33] what get rendered to the end user is always html [17:46:49] outputed [17:46:56] you can write in wikitext or html [17:47:14] interchangeably [17:49:55] an extension uses " use FileFetcher\CachingFileFetcher; " this line of code. Where can I find this class? [17:51:13] on your site directory there should be a hierarchy similar to this: w\extensions\FileFetcher [17:51:44] all extensions should be put under the "extensions" folder [17:55:33] cuddleguy: I downloaded the zip of the extension from git. I can't see a folder called FileFetcher. [17:56:14] do you have a utility like 7-zip [17:56:15] http://packanalyst.com/class?q=FileFetcher%5CCachingFileFetcher [17:56:19] its a free extractor [17:56:55] download it [17:57:37] sometimes you can extract zip files without needing anything as it is integrated in the operating system [17:57:49] you will basically need to to unzip the zip [17:58:08] then there is another probably unrecognizable compressed file in that [17:58:31] tar.gz [17:58:37] you will need to extract that file [17:59:10] then extract the .tar file [17:59:20] then you will have all the files in uncompressed format [17:59:26] and then you can upload them to the extensions folder [17:59:39] if you've a decent file manager, it'll open the tar.gz in one motion [18:00:03] chihiro__: are you using Windows? [18:01:03] I unzipped the folder and going through the code. That's when I saw these classes in 'use' keyword. [18:01:51] You mean when I install the extension, it will create FileFetcher folder? [18:02:07] No [18:02:08] the ideal method is to install extensions via git [18:03:02] you need to create a folder by the name outlined in the extension documentation [18:03:11] you will put those extracted files in that directory [18:03:34] then you will need to add a line or more to your local.settings file [18:04:09] local.settings can be found in \w [18:07:04] cuddleguy: Okay so you mean FileFetcher class is in core? [18:09:45] you are just trying to get this extension installed on your wiki, correct? [18:10:56] the class is "CachingFileFetcher" that you want to edit? [18:10:57] cuddleguy: No, i am trying to understand, how to write an extension. [18:11:37] well you have the extension directory:FileFetcher [18:11:50] so navigate in that directory to the file you want to edit [18:12:01] which is CachingFileFetcher, correct? [18:13:29] you good? [18:14:44] cuddleguy: No, no. This is a file called MyExtensionParserHook.php , which uses " use FileFetcher\CachingFileFetcher; " this in the start of the code. Now where to find it? [18:18:16] chihiro__: I'm sorry. I misunderstood. I'll let someone else field your questions. There are much better people on here for learning how to create an extension than me. [18:18:53] Have you tried googling for FileFetcher\CachingFileFetcher? [18:19:30] cuddleguy: Yes, it takes me to the original code only. [18:19:48] cuddlguy: np, thanks. :) [18:19:50] What else do you want? [18:19:56] Reddy: Yes, it takes me to the original code only. [18:20:34] And? [18:21:25] Reedy: Google will give the git link from where I downloaded it. I want to know what is FileFetcher class. [18:21:39] A class that fetches a file? [18:22:16] Reedy: I think so as name suggests. but I want to know more about it. [18:22:18] If you try to learn how to create an extension, have you checked already https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker#Working_on_extensions [18:22:27] Read the code then? [18:22:47] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker also explains how to check out the codebase, so you could search in the code locally. [18:22:59] and if you have a specific question, we are happy to help! :) [18:23:30] I read the code and it uses new FileFetcher() . [18:24:46] chihiro__, ah, great! :) Now what is the next step you'd like to solve? [18:39:32] Does anyone know how to have mediawiki parse two lists and have them only display results in A but not B? [18:46:55] andre__: sorry I lost the connection. So, I would like to know about syntax and description of those classes and functions. [18:59:11] chihiro, is the syntax and some description "of those classes and functions" not in the source files? [18:59:37] I'm afraid that the answer to the question, how you phrased it, would be exactly what's written in the code. So you might want to rephrase your question. [19:02:38] andre__: I am talking about this file https://github.com/JeroenDeDauw/GitHub/blob/master/src/GitHubParserHook.php . I don't where to find all the classes which are being used in "use" keyword. [19:02:46] I don't know* [19:05:17] chihiro, oh that's GitHub territory I guess. It says "namespace GitHub" [19:05:49] chihiro, I'm not even sure what that repository that you picked does exactly [19:05:55] GitHub is the extension' name. [19:06:06] Or how you found it :) [19:06:26] andre__: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GitHub [19:06:49] ah [19:06:50] nice [19:09:32] chihiro: no real idea either - maybe you can ask Jeroen who is also in this channel [19:10:04] andre__: Oh okay. Thanks. :) [19:10:26] chihiro: because it seems to be his repo :) [19:10:47] andre__: yeah [19:10:56] chihiro, did you install it via Composer? [19:12:23] andre__: no, i haven't installed it. I was reading the code. [19:13:08] chihiro, well, that is what the main page says. So maybe Composer sorts out all those "use" items? [19:13:17] If in doubt, follow the docs, until you fail. That's what I normally tell myself. :) [19:15:47] andre__: yeah seems like he wrote all those"use" items too. [20:48:16] hi, does maintenance/RemoveUnusedAccounts.php work since every new user creates at least a creation log entry? [20:49:30] It doesn't do it based on log entries [20:50:16] uh, ignore that [20:50:25] it does, but excludes newuserlog [20:50:49] mhm [21:11:49] ty [21:41:22] So how do i change my alt tag for my logo. The default is "Visit the main page" [21:44:42] simpleanswer: There is no alt text on the logo by default. There is a title attribute though (alt text and title are different things) [21:45:07] simpleanswer: To change the title, modify the page mediawiki:tooltip-p-logo on your wiki [21:45:41] bawolff:Thanks! [22:39:24] Hello, I was wondering whether I could get some help making the API page on my wiki publicly accessible. [22:39:38] Currently, I'm just getting redirected to the Main Page. [22:45:30] That presumably means your webserver rewrites are buggy [22:46:07] I'm running Mediawiki on Apache. By what you said, do you mean my htaccess file is messed up? [22:46:20] *on an Apache Server* [22:49:11] buckshot: can you tell us the URL to your wiki? [22:49:51] sure. http://ec2-52-89-119-35.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com [22:50:05] Sry the domain's messy - I haven't setup DNS yet [22:50:11] for my domain [22:50:25] http://ec2-52-89-119-35.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/api.php [22:50:28] here's your API [22:50:55] i see. I was trying to put a http://ec2-52-89-119-35.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/w/api.php [22:51:03] i guess the /w/ was messing me up [22:51:11] usually the /w/ is normal, yea [22:51:23] alright, well I appreciate it! [22:51:24] but there are different ways to set it up [22:51:26] !shorturl [22:51:27] To create simple URLs (such as the /wiki/PAGENAME style URLs on Wikimedia sites), follow the instructions at or try the new beta tool at . There are instructions for most different webserver setups. If you have problems getting the rewrite rules to work, see !rewriteproblem [22:51:41] try http://shorturls.redwerks.org/ [22:51:46] if you want to change it [22:52:22] I see. Well, it more pertained to me getting it wrong in Parsoid's config, so I just need to correct my mistake there. I really appreciate the help though! [22:52:37] sure, yw [22:53:13] Is there some way to get all the redirection pages using the api ?
