[00:31:01] Hi! Is anyone free for me to pick their brain regarding making a button that will assist in making a template page for someone? [00:45:24] angrytechpriest, will that button read people's minds? :)' [00:47:04] angrytechpriest, ask that in public [00:47:20] I can only wish, but no. I'd like to take text from an text box and when I click the button, I'd like to put that name into the template I'm trying to make. It's probably just outside my level of knowledge just yet I figure. [00:48:14] umm, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:InputBox [00:48:25] ? [00:49:04] Well I feel like a bit of a silly, that's a lot what I'm looking for. :D [00:50:52] Thank you! [08:07:19] !outreachy del [08:07:20] Successfully removed outreachy [08:09:15] !outreachy is Outreachy 11 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_11 applications are now under review, the list of accepted participants will be announced on November 17th. [08:09:15] Key was added [08:36:19] Hi there, have bitnami and mediawiki installed. Have a problem. When upload a image or something like that, my computer thinking so much... any solution? [08:49:10] Chema_, did you tried https://community.bitnami.com/c/mediawiki? [08:51:42] omw [09:15:39] does anybody use mediawiki for reviewing OCR-ed texts? [09:49:34] can anyone point to recent/the most recent guide or resource for getting Wikipedia-like "infoboxes" on other MediaWiki installations? [09:50:00] I've found a bunch of blog posts or wiki pages that seem to be a few years old, I wouldn't want to be missing the latest-and-greatest in infobox technology :) [09:59:16] Agun español por aqui please? [10:31:42] hi, is this a good place to get some help with a problem on a mediawiki site? [10:38:47] in case someone wants to have a look, the content is not visible on the pages of http://www.agilegamesfrance.fr (and The content is visible when I click on Edit) [12:24:10] hello. am I in the right place to ask a question about filezilla? [12:24:52] no [13:35:18] Hi to everyone! Is it possible to make https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Parser.php out of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion#Limitations ??? [13:36:00] I read lots about it for the last few days and I can't find any answers. :( [13:59:52] natbrown: too many templates? :) [14:01:00] saper:No, I can't make work in the templates. :( [14:02:10] Yaron: It was nice to see you. :) How was your flight? [14:03:36] any idea why ConfirmAccount extension has stopped sending emails ? [14:04:01] it doesn't send an email for admin, user requesting the account still gets them. [14:06:55] Tuju: it's still working for me [14:07:10] what mw version you got there? [14:07:13] mine is 119 [14:07:55] MW 1.25.1 [14:08:11] smells like newer than mine. [14:08:34] i should get rpm maintainer update it. [14:08:43] note i am using the REL1.24 checkout of ConirmAccount [14:08:57] mee too, but different branch. [14:09:15] git branch [14:09:16] * REL1_19 [14:09:21] Tuju: you have to match your extension branch to your MW branch (in most cases) [14:09:41] yup yup, i thin that's okay. [14:09:56] Tuju: I'd recommend getting your maintainer to update everything though, I always recommend the latest stable branch [14:09:58] i just don't know how to debug that php. [14:10:15] i am the admin. [14:10:23] Tuju: is mail functioning at all for the wiki? [14:10:34] yes, like said, the requestor gets the mails. [14:11:49] is the $wgConfirmAccountContact valid? [14:11:55] "RequestAccount_body.php" 374: * (b) Notify $wgConfirmAccountContact on success [14:12:33] !debug | Tuju [14:12:33] Tuju: 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 [14:12:53] Tuju: $wgDebugLog says lots of interesting things [14:12:56] thanks, let's try that [14:14:32] in the code, there is stuff starting with $wfDebug..... what is that f ? [14:14:43] wfDebug( "Could not sent email to admin at $target\n" ); [14:15:15] this will be displayed in $wgDebugLog file if you set it [14:15:27] okay, i need to get that working [14:15:53] one line in LocalSettings.php $wgDebugLog = "/tmp/somethinghttpcanwrite.log" [14:16:45] if you suspect a database problem (unlikely here) $wgDebugDumpSql = true; adds full SQL queries to the log [14:17:21] just added it, lets see how it works [14:17:35] also check output of phpinfo() (create a page with also wherever your "error_log" from your php.ini logs to may be helpful (for example PHP warnings about undefined values) [14:24:08] Algun español en la sala para ayudarme? Gracias!!!! [14:27:25] i have 2k3r2 mount with a bitnami + mediawiki. i was connecte by rdp but cant upload the images [14:27:43] sa [14:28:01] saper: debug works fine but there ain't obvious reason why it doesn't send mail. [14:34:34] Tuju: no time to look at the code right now, try putting some wfDebugLog() here and there [14:34:44] just did ;) [14:34:51] Tuju: also sometimes it can be useful to check stuff interactively with eval.php [14:34:54] !eval [14:34:55] There is no such key, you probably want to try: !gsocapp, [14:35:00] !eval.php [14:36:02] !eval is To query MediaWiki objects and functions live, you can use maintenance/eval.php script https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Eval.php [14:36:02] Key was added [14:41:11] this test fails if ( $wgConfirmAccountContact != '' ) { [14:41:25] but i have that setting in LocalSettings.php [14:41:53] does it matter in what part the config file that appears? [14:43:24] HAAA! it does! [14:43:41] moved it *after* the module import and it started working. [14:43:52] ouh dear, that has caused me so many lost hours. [14:45:21] sorry for that [14:45:29] maybe add a note on the extension page? [14:45:36] already writing [14:45:41] thx [14:48:22] Tuju: as a general rule of thumb, I always add config settings relative to extensions after the extension's require_once line [14:48:34] Tuju: I've been bitten before by the same thing [14:50:24] there https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount#Notification_emails_do_not_get_sent [14:58:12] i would make the db layout differently. [15:01:31] * Tuju feels happy when got that sorted out. [15:05:41] this would do good for many tables: ALTER TABLE invoices ADD CONSTRAINT invoices_roles_fkey FOREIGN KEY (custo) REFERENCES roles(rid); [15:07:20] i should not be able to remove stuff if some part of it depends on user that doesn't exist anymore. [15:07:28] now i can. [15:07:58] anyway, thanks. [17:16:15] how to find out if a page has been patrolled automatically or by hand? i see no difference in the database. [17:16:50] Steinsplitter: the log_action should be "autopatrol" [17:17:36] oooh, and i am searching in log params (in the serialized stuff). thanks legoktm! :?) [17:19:26] Steinsplitter: oh, I'm wrong, it's always patrol/patrol hmm [17:19:38] legoktm: http://www2.pic-upload.de/img/28756377/lgo111.jpg [17:19:55] yeah yeah [17:20:02] maybe it is in the log params, but i don't see it. i was sure there was a way to detect it :P [17:20:15] WHERE log_params LIKE "%6::auto%" [17:20:22] that should do it [17:20:28] it'll be slow though :/ [17:21:04] 6::auto is also at "by hand patrollings" [17:24:06] ohhhhh, it is i:1; :-D [17:30:24] oh yeah [17:30:31] legoktm: thanks for helping :) [17:30:31] its a super hack, but it'll work I guses [17:30:32] guess* [17:30:38] np [18:57:08] is mediawiki-1.25.3 compatible with ldapauthentication plugin? [19:08:51] swswswx: should be, yes [19:09:51] okay I have an issue with it I am making a request on the mediawiki.org page. the domain login field does not display in my case. [21:31:54] there must be some way to enable particular plugin only for sysops [21:32:18] is it possible to add some condition on user group in config-file, where particular plugin being imported? [21:32:40] or this way is too dirty? [22:00:31] I have a custom template which uses the

 tag (along with css) to format some text the way I want it.  I need to also make all spaces show up, like a  tag can, but I don't want to inherit the style from the  tag.  Anyone know how I can do this?
[22:01:28] 	 stype="white-space: pre;" ?
[22:01:32] 	 style*
[22:01:52] 	 eranroz, lemme try that
[22:02:25] 	 eranroz, wow, I didn't know about that tag.  Thanks!
[22:08:25] 	 eranroz, that's putting too much whitespace above and below templates that are used within that template, though.  Any idea how to fix that?
[22:18:15] 	 don't know. maybe padding-top/padding-bottom/line-height styles
[22:28:49] 	 okay, thanks
[22:37:03] 	 margin-top and margin-bottom did it
[22:38:33] 	 now... anyone know if I can set a variable in one template that can be read by another template which comes after it?  iotw,  {{A myvar=2}}   {{B dosometing:{{{myvar}}} }}
[22:48:50] 	 no
[23:03:01] 	 MatmaRex, that sucks
[23:03:08] 	 ugh
[23:04:33] 	 well, no, what would suck is allowing that :) imagine trying to debug anything in wikitext if any part of the page could pass variables to any other part of the page
[23:05:13] 	 there was an extension that kind of allowed this at some point, i think? but please heed my warning and don't use it if you value your sanity
[23:05:24] 	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Variables
[23:05:30] 	 you really don't want to use it, trust me
[23:30:37] 	 I'm getting a weird error with scribunto, not sure if this is the most correct place to ask. But anytime a user visits a page using scribunto php throws an error. "PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function wfGlobalCacheKey() in /usr/share/webapps/mediawiki/extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaCommon/LuaCommon.php on line 317"
[23:31:01] 	 I also can't seem to find anywhere where wfGlobalCacheKey should/is defined
[23:31:14] 	 AaronM: what version of MediaWiki core are you using?
[23:31:27] 	 http://bwwiki.fgthou.se/index.php?title=Special:Version
[23:31:29] 	 1.25.3
[23:31:49] 	 I think you downloaded a too new version of Scribunto
[23:31:58] 	 ahh, I am using the git version
[23:32:07] 	 use the REL1_25 branch then
[23:32:29] 	 or https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor?extdist_name=Scribunto&extdist_version=REL1_25
[23:48:12] 	 Thanks legoktm, that was exactly the issue.
