[07:03:01] wow, irc is alive :D [07:04:19] Yep. [08:08:48] yes it is [08:22:36] apergos: {{cn|date=December 2017}} [08:23:08] :-P [08:40:01] why don't you conversate about wiki? [08:59:21] compod: because sometimes people do work, or sleep, or eat, or other things, or edit a wiki. Instead of conversating about it here. :) [08:59:50] compod: No need to talk if there is nothing to talk about. Other channels, such as #wikimedia-dev, are usually more active. [08:59:52] so, do you may help me with this [08:59:58] MediaWiki 1.30 internal error [08:59:59] Installing some external dependencies (e.g. via composer) is required. [09:00:00] I don't know what "this" is. [09:00:17] !ask | compod [09:00:17] compod: 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. :) [09:00:49] wtf [09:01:30] compod: Do you have a question? [09:01:54] Yes, I do [09:02:00] Then feel free to ask it. [09:02:30] I have completed installation [09:02:50] Of mediawiki [09:03:06] What can I do next [09:03:10] ?? [09:03:44] dheeraj: that probably depends on *why* you installed MediaWiki. [09:04:02] dheeraj: For example, you could start using it and edit/create wiki pages... [09:04:11] I want to contribute to gsoc [09:04:57] dheeraj, if you are after *developing* on MediaWiki, #wikimedia-dev might be a better channel. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_Developers and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker provide information. [09:05:34] compod: Well, the answer to your implicit question is installing the missing external dependencies (e.g. via composer), as the message says. But /if/ you need more info, there is https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git#Fetch_external_libraries [09:06:35] andre__: now i have two folders namely: core and mediawiki1.30 . Now in which i need to work [09:06:53] Ohh, too hard :D [09:06:55] dheeraj: which instructions and where did you follow? [09:07:22] dheeraj: in general, the answer to "where to work" depends on what you want to do exactly. [09:07:31] andre__: i have followed https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker [09:07:32] dheeraj: have you read the links I posted? [09:07:41] ah, okay [09:07:52] dheeraj: so you install in Vagrant? [09:08:21] No, it is manual installation [09:08:40] dheeraj, I see. So what is your exact question if everything works? :) [09:09:02] how can i fix bugs [09:09:05] dheeraj: did you read the third sentence on the page that you followed? [09:09:10] dheeraj: it says: "The main path to get started with Wikimedia development is to contribute to Wikimedia projects that offer mentoring. An alternative without mentoring is to fix an annoying little bug." [09:19:37] yes i have read it [09:20:10] andre__: but my doubt is what is the difference between mediawiki1.30 and core [09:23:01] dheeraj: To which folder did you install MediaWiki exactly? [09:23:19] mediawiki 1.30 [09:23:36] Folder names with spaces? Urgh :D [09:23:54] what did you follow? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide ? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git ? [09:24:17] I don't know what you downloaded and how, and where you put it. [09:24:56] andre__: while iam following the second link it told me to download core and i did git-review in core [09:25:45] andre__: But while i am doing installation guide of 1st link i have downloaded mediawiki 1.30 [09:27:40] dheeraj, so that explains it. [09:27:50] 1st link is the stable version. [09:28:02] 2nd link is git master which is for development. [09:28:10] andre__: yes [09:28:27] dheeraj: In general: If you don't explain what you did, like following both links in this case, anyone else can only guess. [09:28:51] dheeraj: We cannot look over your shoulder or travel in time. So you need to be super explicit on IRC and explain step by step what exactly you did. :) [09:28:54] andre__: ok sorry [09:29:04] No problem :) [09:29:26] andre__: how can i fix the bug [09:29:28] so you likely want to hack on "core". [09:29:30] dheeraj, what "bug"? [09:29:34] andre__: yes [09:30:09] andre__: which source code should i follow to solve the littile bug [09:30:18] dheeraj: which "little bug"? [09:30:23] you need to be explicit. [09:30:29] andre__: from phabricator [09:30:32] otherwise my answer will be "depends". [09:30:36] dheeraj, yeah. which one? [09:30:39] there are 400 or 500. [09:31:01] dheeraj: if you are not clear we cannot help you. Please do read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker#Feedback,_questions_and_support [09:31:20] andre__: my doubt from which folder i should do git pull [09:31:38] dheeraj: what makes you think you should "git pull" somewhere? [09:31:38] andre__: and check git status [09:31:47] dheeraj, you have not explained why you want to do git pull. [09:32:34] andre__: usually after fixing any bug i have to patch, so that [09:33:04] dheeraj: providing a patch is explained in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial [09:33:14] and that is linked from the patch you referred to. [09:33:25] you are jumping from one topic to another, it seems. :) [09:33:49] if you have explicit questions, feel free to ask them here, but please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker#Feedback,_questions_and_support first [09:33:53] * andre__ needs to leave soon [09:34:15] errr, not " from the patch you referred to" but " from the page you referred to", I meant ^ [09:44:41] andre__: thank you [21:00:27] I have a question about adding custom change tags automatically [21:00:33] on save* [21:01:42] because I've tried using various hooks but none seem to be actually adding the tags [21:02:49] the closes I've got is adding it in NewRevisionFromEditComplete but that doesn't appear on recent changes (because it happens before that) [21:03:15] but trying to do it in RecentChanges_save doesn't do anything [21:16:27] ahhhh ok, yeah I fixed it
