[00:43:05] 99% figured out the problems with cross wiki Echo notifications and have it working. :D https://i.imgur.com/pYNjL0v.png [00:46:22] Trela: It's a start. :-) [00:46:55] I back ported this to 1.26.2 so I have to figure out the origin header issues. [02:19:28] I setup my database by importing vagrant/mediawiki/maintenance/tables.sql into phpmyadmin and changed $wgDBuser and $wgDBpassword accordingly in vagrant/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php. vagrant up is giving the error (Cannot access the database: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (127.0.0.1)) [02:21:48] by vagrant up, I mean going to 127.0.0.1:8080 after vagrant up. [04:53:30] hi i am new and would like to contribute.Can someone help me get started?? [05:01:55] aashaka: Er, why did you manually import tables.sql? Vagrant install already does that. [05:02:32] aashaka: Is it mentioned in any of the docs? [05:43:48] Hello all. I have a new MediaWiki site cloned from an old site with database wiped. Don't have access to MySQL logs, and am getting "A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software." when I Publish, but it always works on a reload. [05:47:06] Temporus23: Running maintenance/update.php usually fixes this. [05:47:21] Niharika - thanks! [05:47:41] Temporus23: Thank me when it works. :P [06:00:22] Niharika - Worked like a charm. So thanks :) [06:00:35] Happy to help! [06:35:46] I have used the run query feature of semantic wiki to create a search form. I have values stored in multiple property keys, and I want the search to search through the values of all the fields (property keys), and return all corresponding results. Is there a way to implement such Keyword search feature? [07:29:39] Niharika: While running make databaseless, I came across similar database connection error, which stopped after manually importing. As for during vagrant installation, I don't remember having setup a database. [07:31:06] It is not mentioned in a doc. I just tinkered to check.

[12:45:05] XXN: just ask your question, don't ask "can someone help me with this" [12:46:01] if you don't ask the exact question you have, then someone who wants to help is going to have to ask and wait for the answer, and one of you might leave in meantime [12:46:32] !ask | XXN [12:46:32] XXN: 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. :) [12:52:12] ok. Please take a look at this template https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Format:Infocaseta_Comun%C4%83_Moldova [12:52:14] I want to make it that last parameter ( |infodoc= Infocaseta Comună Moldova ) will be work only when template is transcluded live, but at substition in articles this parameter to be excluded from substitution. [13:09:47] Hi does anyone know of any good git programes for windows. Not git for windows but any similar ones since installing windows 10 latest build as of 27/01/2016 it now shows a fault. [13:14:59] http://www.git-scm.com/downloads/guis or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TortoiseGit ? [13:18:55] andre__: Its strange both of those are crashing. Bug reported upstream https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/627 [13:19:49] both what? [13:20:22] paladox, read https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/627#issuecomment-176139397 again? :) [13:20:42] well, in any case, good luck finding a working client... :-/ [13:20:54] ok. [13:57:02] Ah. I'm working on getting MW set up to prepare a proposed patch ti gerrit, this is my first time in the 1.27 series. I see vector is now fetched externally, so I'm supposed to require it with composer, is that correct? [13:57:40] no. you just clone the mediawiki/skins/Vector repository into the skins/ directory [13:57:46] well [13:57:52] ah, ok. Hm. [13:58:08] if you're just going to be doing development, you don't *need* it. but running a wiki without any skins is silly. :) [13:58:09] Is it ultimately the plan to use composer for that though? [13:58:32] no, mediawiki only uses composer to install its dependencies. like PHP libraries [13:58:36] I got a bunch of other wikis that people actually use, so I might as well familiarise myself with this composer malarkey :) [13:58:44] ah ok, so not skins [13:58:59] long term, skins will still be something I install manually? [13:59:01] if you really want to, it's possible to install certain extensions and skins via composer, but the skin/extension has to have specific support for it [13:59:12] okie, good to know [13:59:14] some people find it convenient, some find it utterly repulsive. :) [13:59:34] I'm agnostic, it's just the transition which is annoying me [13:59:43] i wonder if we have some writeup on this [13:59:46] can't figure out how much learning I have to commmit to composer. :) [13:59:54] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Composer#Usage_in_MediaWiki_core [14:00:19] I did look a bunch at the obvious composer pages, but it's mostly "here's how you can use composer" and very little "here's the policy for composer" [14:00:40] to add to the confusioin, some extension devs are moving to composer and some aren't :) [14:00:43] JosefAssad: unless you're going to work on one of the exts/skins that use it for installation, almost none. you just need to run `composer update` from time to time when your development wiki stops working after a `git pull`. ;) [14:00:47] (I'm easily confused) [14:01:14] sounds good [14:01:58] ty Matma, your answers were very helpful. I am less confused now [14:02:03] :) [15:36:57] Hi, I am testing an upgrade to 1.23.12 from 1.20.2, when I go to Special:CreateAccount (via the special pages page) I just get an empty page [15:37:23] !blankpage [15:37:23] A blank page or HTTP 500 error usually indicates a fatal PHP error. For information on debugging (including viewing errors), see . [15:37:31] akoopal: You should go to 1.23.13 [15:37:35] There were some issues in .12 [15:37:44] going directly to Special:Userlogin/signup works [15:38:02] Reedy: is that already released? [15:38:06] Yes [15:38:11] ok [15:38:14] Was done 4 days after .12 [15:38:17] https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2015-December/000187.html [15:38:19] 21st December 2015 [15:39:46] Reedy: thanks [15:39:56] that is indeed the one bug fixed ;-) [15:44:11] wheee [16:24:21] ah... I just submitted my first patch to gerrit and I'm wondering if there's a list of people wherein I can find a reviewer? It's in core MW [16:25:32] oh, I think I found it. This? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developers/Maintainers [16:30:36] JosefAssad: yeah, i think that's the best we have [16:30:45] yep, I figured it out [16:30:57] i don't think it's being updated very regularly :/ [16:31:01] looking forward to the inevitable spanking :) [16:31:43] JosefAssad, yay, thanks for contributing your patch! [16:32:47] I already cocked up but it probably isn't fatal. Gerritreviewbot-o-matic automatically added a reviewer I didn't recognise so I removed it thinking I had butterfingered. so much to learn [16:33:06] anyhow, I found the right gentleman [16:36:16] JosefAssad, in case you don't get any feedback on your patch within the next workdays, please do ping on IRC again. Thanks! [16:43:27] andre__: you bet I will. Thanks! [17:05:39] Hi could i have some help please. What php code can i use for detecting where a piece of code comes from. For example how can i detect wfLoadExtension piece of code comming from which folder in extensions folder. I want to detect for example extensions/SemanticFormsSelect/ where by semanticfroms is installed in extensions/SemanticFormsSelect/extensions/SemanticForms because it was installed through composer i want to detect the extensions folder [17:05:39] witin SemanticFormsSelect how can i do that. [17:05:42] please. [17:22:14] paladox, first idea: "strace"? [17:22:20] e.g. https://derickrethans.nl/what-is-php-doing.html [18:10:04] Hi could i have some help please. What php code can i use for detecting where a piece of code comes from. For example how can i detect wfLoadExtension piece of code comming from which folder in extensions folder. I want to detect for example extensions/SemanticFormsSelect/ where by semanticfroms is installed in extensions/SemanticFormsSelect/extensions/SemanticForms because it was installed through composer i want to detect the extensions folder [18:10:10] witin SemanticFormsSelect how can i do that. please [18:10:43] Oh, SMW installing things wrong as usual. [18:11:01] Did you run composer in the root Mediawiki folder or within the extension folder? [18:12:27] Typically SMW requires all composer installs do be done at the root Mediawiki folder to work correctly. [18:12:32] Trela: I ran composer in the extension. So it now looks like extensions/SemanticFormsSelect/extensions/SemanticForms [18:12:53] Clean up the extra crud it installed and redo it from the root Mediawiki folder. [18:13:03] I would like to be able to detect what folder in extensions i am in. [18:13:16] Trela: Ok. [18:20:45] I am trying to track down this issue that appeared(for us) in MW 1.26: "Warning: filesize(): in /home/hydra/public_html/includes/debug/MWDebug.php on line 407" Where the file it is attempting to stat is a random string of gibberish. Example: �K�k� [18:21:01] For some reason deep in the autoloader it is trying include gibberish as a file. O_o [18:21:15] *trying to [18:21:54] Trela: Hi running it from mediawiki core doesent look for the extensions folder or recursing to check for composer and merge it. But anyways i am only installing it to fix a bug in why it wont load an extension which is dependant on using extension.json. [18:23:15] wfLoadExtension("Extension Name") will only look in the extension/"Extension Name"/ folder. It might be that one of the SMW extensions is misconfigured and may have to be installed manually. [19:14:59] Hey guys, I hope that someone can help me with this. I got the following code: http://ultimatesupreme.wikia.com/wiki/ViewerName.php but would like to pass parameters to that function via the hook, is it possible and if yes, how can that be done? [20:42:35] I'm having trouble with categories. I created a category called Logins, and then I tagged a couple pages with [[Category:Logins]] but under the category page, it says 'This category currently contains no pages or media' [20:55:42] Ryuske: it takes a bit for the category page to be populate. That's handled aynchronously y the job queue, which by default takes a job on each page request. Although the job queue may be broken somehow and the category won't be populated at all [20:55:50] See more information here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Job_queue [20:56:15] I think it was a bug in 1.27. It works fine now that I switched back to 1.26 [20:57:01] Vulpix ^ [20:58:07] or maybe it was a cache problem [20:58:41] Could be, but there is no PHP caching setup on this server, and I did a hard refresh a couple times [21:04:37] Ryuske: how do you know there is no PHP caching? [21:05:04] Nemo_bis because I setup the server up, and never installed any caching packages? [21:14:44] Ryuske: rather weak argument; PHP nowadays comes with some caching by default [21:15:15] Well give me a package to look for. It doesn't have memcache, APC, or anything similar to that [22:58:36] Hey guys, I hope that someone can help me with this. I got the following code: http://ultimatesupreme.wikia.com/wiki/ViewerName.php but would like to pass parameters to that function via the hook, is it possible and if yes, how can that be done? [23:41:05] Can anyone tell me why I'd be getting the Error "unexpected end of archive" on an enwiki dump when trying to extract it from the zip? [23:57:23] has anyone tried using the wiki api ...inside of a wiki page? [23:58:15] purpose was to try and populate a wiki page with articles for specific categories. the category tree is fine, but would be a lot cooler if I could call the API, grab a list of articles and return in a better presentable format.
