[09:52:05] <jkale>	 i copied both Vector.css and Common.css from a site but it won't show the same fonts. how do i get the fonts?
[09:56:10] <Vulpix>	 jkale: you can inspect one element of the page with the browser's developer tools to find what font is used and what CSS rule is applied. Maybe you haven't copied it right, cache hasn't refreshed yet or fonts are applied by an extension
[10:11:37] <jkale>	 Vulpix: like a skin? ("Maybe ... fonts are applied by an extension")
[10:13:40] <jkale>	 Vulpix: can i access a wiki's list of available skins without being logged in?
[10:14:45] <Vulpix>	 Special:Version, if available
[11:32:44] <jkale>	 Vulpix: it looks like i don't have the font available. but i don't know what that means. should i like host it on my server?
[11:44:08] <suvidu>	 Hi all. I got an error message where Google does not help: error creating preview image, "convert: unable to access configure file"
[11:44:28] <suvidu>	 if anybody has a helpful hint, I would really appreciate that.
[11:52:26] <Vulpix>	 suvidu: looks like you have a buggy imagemagick installation
[11:52:57] <suvidu>	 ah, that is a good hint, Vulpix, thank you. I'll check that. Any further ideas are still appreciated :-)
[11:54:53] <Vulpix>	 searching for "convert: unable to access configure file" is the best you can do, maybe specifying your operating system
[11:56:59] <suvidu>	 I tried that for about 15 min and found no helpful results. But I did not give up yet :)
[12:01:19] <Nemo_bis>	 what os? what package version?
[12:05:52] <suvidu>	 excellent question. I used a one-click installer from my provider. I will contact them and ask if they could help me -- without knowledge of such basic things like OS and package version I should not bother you further. Nevertheless thank you for your help!
[12:40:53] <jkale>	 Vulpix: each font is linked in the css as src: url('skins/monobook/font.svg'). i'm trying to turn it into an absolute path. am i on the right track?
[12:42:08] <jkale>	 Vulpix: just for the test, of course
[12:43:41] <Vulpix>	 jkale: apparently, yes
[12:48:20] <jkale>	 Vulpix: if the file path is say /var/www/html/mywiki/skins/monobook/bullet.gif, what's its url equivalent? http://localhost/mywiki/Skins/monobook/bullet.gif is not found on the server.
[12:49:14] <jkale>	 Vulpix: (meaning i got the "not found on this server" error)
[12:49:34] <Vulpix>	 skins should probably be lowercase
[12:50:52] <jkale>	 Vulpix: right, it worked. thank you.
[13:12:46] <jkale>	 is there any way to tell which skin is currently enabled/used by a wiki?
[13:13:22] <jkale>	 as default
[13:17:07] <codezee>	 jkale: $wgDefaultSkin in Localsettings will let you know that
[13:18:49] <jkale>	 codezee: not mine. i'm trying to "reverse engineer" a wiki that i liked
[13:31:14] <codezee>	 jkale: you can make a guess by going to Special:Version if you don't have an account there
[13:36:54] <jkale>	 codezee: oh, by the way, is there a quick way to test minor wiki css edits (without all the mouse use, scrolling, opening page, clicking the edit button again, etc.)?
[13:43:02] <codezee>	 jkale: I'm probably unable to get your question... you can always click "show preview" to test css edits
[13:54:49] <jkale>	 codezee: do you actually mean "show preview" is supposed to affect the site look? it's not true.
[13:57:28] <_ynk>	 hello, i am looking for a way to clone/mirror a wiki for use offline (for a LAN network). I want to be able to set up my own mediawiki later and have it the same as the one I cloned
[13:58:00] <_ynk>	 does anyone have suggestions? (static mirroring as with wget arent what i want)
[14:04:59] <hexhaxtron_>	 I wanted to add a Bitcoins button to the Wiki. I got a JavaScript code for it. Where should I put it?
[14:06:13] <Vulpix>	 hexhaxtron_: see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/JavaScript
[14:07:07] <hexhaxtron_>	 Vulpix, I added it to Common.js but I didn't see any changes.
[14:08:56] <Vulpix>	 what code have you added? I guess you should indicate in the code where the button should be placed inside the page
[14:10:15] <Vulpix>	 _ynk: see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Importing_XML_dumps
[14:11:15] <_ynk>	 Vulpix: by this you mean I should get an XML dump of the wiki I want, then create a mediawiki locally, then import the dump?
[14:11:27] <hexhaxtron_>	 Vulpix, http://pastebin.com/vZnQufG6
[14:11:34] <Vulpix>	 _ynk: yes
[14:11:54] <_ynk>	 Vulpix: will this also export images and other resources? (i.e. not relying on the original source at all)
[14:12:41] <Vulpix>	 hexhaxtron_: ok, you should adapt that because what you put on the MediaWiki:Common.js page is pure javascript, not HTML (<script> tags are HTML and will cause errors)
[14:13:03] <hexhaxtron_>	 Vulpix, can you provide that change?
[14:13:03] <Vulpix>	 _ynk: images must be exported/imported with other tools
[14:14:24] <_ynk>	 Vulpix: I see. so is there really no export tool to allow a fully clone of a wiki? I am looking for a way to repeatably be able to mirror wikis.
[14:16:57] <Vulpix>	 _ynk: there's https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Grabbers but that's not very reliable at this moment... I'm improving the grabNewText.php script, though
[14:17:35] <_ynk>	 Vulpix: I'll take a look there, thanks :-)
[14:18:14] <jkale>	 Vulpix: but aren't images stored in the database together with all of its content?
[14:18:39] <jkale>	 its=wiki's
[14:19:25] <Vulpix>	 hexhaxtron_: http://pastebin.com/D6Myyk5Z - you'll need to put the <div id="coinwidget-bitcoin-1k7tH4HLPgFDZz2Pr9WQ72PZAZKWqBKbu"></div> somewhere on the page
[14:19:40] <Vulpix>	 jkale: no, images are stored in disk as normal files
[14:20:58] <hexhaxtron>	 Vulpix, is there a way to make it show on every page? Instead of pasting that to every page?
[14:21:42] <_ynk>	 Vulpix: If i am to use wget to mirror a wiki statically, would you suggest anything to be done besides the actual wget command?
[14:23:38] <Vulpix>	 hexhaxtron: maybe you can change the "element:" value of the snippet to match an element present on every page, but I don't know, I know nothing about that plugin
[14:25:32] <Vulpix>	 _ynk: I haven't tested it, so I can't say for sure... wget would be probably fine, but you should exclude things like special pages, page histories, diffs and permalinks at least
[14:25:59] <Vulpix>	 _ynk: that's probably easier if the wiki uses short URLs, by excluding anything that goes to index.php
[14:37:05] <hexhaxtron>	 Vulpix, I tried to insert that <div... to the SideBar but it doesn't seem to work. Do you know how to do it?
[14:37:42] <hexhaxtron>	 Vulpix, it works however on the pages.
[14:38:23] <Vulpix>	 hexhaxtron: maybe you can create a new element on the sidebar, see the ID that MediaWiki generates for it, and change the "element:" in the code to match it
[14:38:51] <Vulpix>	 without having documentation of that widget, that's just a wild guess
[14:52:21] <hexhaxtron>	 Vulpix, do you have Teamviewer?
[14:54:35] <Vulpix>	 yes
[14:54:47] <hexhaxtron>	 Vulpix, can you come here and do that of the Sidebar?
[14:56:23] <Vulpix>	 no, sorry, I have a lot of things to do
[14:56:54] <Vulpix>	 maybe you can ask the creators of that bitcoin widget
[15:52:08] <kivi>	 hey I inputted this function into my mediawiki: {{Inflation|UK|5|1930|{{CURRENTYEAR}}|r=-2}} and got this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14915527/, which is different from this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&text={{Inflation|UK|5|1930|{{CURRENTYEAR}}|r=-2}}&title=Test&prop=text&format=rawfm
[15:52:43] <kivi>	 I can't figure out what I am missing in my mediawiki. Do I need to import anymore templates?
[15:54:18] <Vulpix>	 kivi: do you mind pasting a screenshot at http://snag.gy/ ? interpreting HTML can be a bit hard
[15:54:54] <Vulpix>	 ah, wait, that's api.php
[15:55:35] <Vulpix>	 well, the screenshot of a preview of an actual page may be better to interpret
[16:19:48] <kivi>	 Vulpix, erm well really, its probably worse in html
[16:48:27] <kivi>	 Vulpix, http://snag.gy/UOrKz.jpg does this help? 
[16:48:35] <kivi>	 this is the bad one. 
[16:51:03] <Vulpix>	 kivi: maybe the wiki doesn't have ParserFunctions installed?
[16:51:09] <Vulpix>	 !e ParserFunctions
[16:51:09] <wm-bot>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions
[16:51:20] <kivi>	 Vulpix, I thought the new ones came with it?
[16:51:40] <kivi>	 i got the latest version from git; should I try installing the parserfunctions extention anyways?
[16:51:49] <Vulpix>	 yes, but on the installer you need to explicitly enable it, or install it afterwards
[16:52:21] <kivi>	 Vulpix, oh okay. Yeah I see it in my extensions folder; how do I go about enabling it?
[16:52:30] <Vulpix>	 if you got MediaWiki from git, you probably don't have any extensions, unless you also clone their repositories as well
[16:52:43] <Vulpix>	 see the extension's page :)
[16:52:50] <kivi>	 okay
[16:56:53] <kivi>	 Vulpix, that worked
[16:56:58] <kivi>	 !cookie | Vulpix 
[16:56:59] <wm-bot>	 Vulpix: To enable cookies for popular browsers, see <http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?&answer=61416>
[16:57:17] <Vulpix>	 !next
[16:57:17] <wm-bot>	 Another satisfied customer. NEXT!
[16:57:24] <kivi>	 erm... yeah lol
[16:57:49] <Vulpix>	 :D
[18:52:06] <thegamer93>	 test test
[18:54:49] <hexhaxtron>	 How can I increase the font size of all pages?
[20:14:16] <jkale>	 i copied www.semanticwiki-mediawiki.org/w's Common.css and Vector.css to my wiki and the latter still looks nothing like the former
[20:14:29] <jkale>	 what could be the reason?
[20:27:47] <Platonides>	 jkale: I suspect they are not using Vector skin, but Vectorata
[20:28:03] <Platonides>	 yes
[20:28:39] <Platonides>	 you would need to install it
[20:31:41] <pttrsmrt>	 Apache and/or mediawiki doesn't redirect articles with apostrophe in them properly. Anyone seen it before or knows the best solution?
[20:32:13] <pttrsmrt>	 I mean, I guess I could just write a RewriteRule for apache, but it feels kinda like a hack and that theres a proper solution somewhere else
[20:42:10] <jkale>	 Platonides: the thing is Vectorata.css is empty...
