[00:01:05] I'm manually rebasing the conversion patch [00:01:07] what a headache [00:01:13] hate manual rebases [00:04:31] Hmm, i think this entire extension doesn't work due to https [00:05:35] it's kinda old [00:06:15] ok, tested. Seems to work if i set $wgAutoProxyBlockSources['api'][] = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php'; [00:06:20] default is just http [00:06:23] This has been broken for a while [00:07:12] I think I fixed that in the extension.json patch I'm amending now [00:07:15] * Hauskatze checks [00:07:41] api": [ [00:07:42] "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php" [00:07:42] ], [04:19:58] Minor scream and feedback. After spending days trying to get visual editor to work, and failing. I deleted it. Too many different programs to install, and just too complicated. Either that or I'm more ignorant than I thought. [05:22:02] larry__: Yeah, it be a bit of a bear. [05:22:08] it can be * [05:22:13] With Parsoid and whatnot. [05:23:28] I got parsoids ok. Restbase is what threw me into a tailspin. Do wish it was a simple one click install [05:39:01] larry__: you don't need restbase to run visualeditor [05:39:03] just parsoid [05:47:08] lego: thanks.. I'll try again tomorrow without restbase [05:47:45] lends credence to the ignorant theeory.. [09:59:28] Does anyone have or know where to get a sample config file for 1.30? [10:02:10] Okay I think this is pretty much what I was looking for: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:LocalSettings.php#Standard_settings [10:06:25] A sample config of 1.30 is included in 1.30. I'd say. [10:06:46] andre__: where at? [10:07:47] It would be useful to get one, so that I could include relevant comments with the settings [10:16:39] I know that the installation script is supposed to create one, but I already have settings files [10:16:52] from 1.19 [10:17:17] I doubt its changed from 1.19 [10:17:25] We don't update the default LocalSettings.php very often [10:17:53] Basically the only way to generate one is via the installer (either web or comand line) becaues the result will depend on what you tell the installer [10:19:18] The settings have been messed by x different developers before received the mess [10:19:41] So the files are missing comments about each setting for example, which I would like to add for future developers [10:20:05] So last time we changed the default LocalSettings.php file was Thu May 4 05:53:47 2017 [10:20:43] The relavent file is includes/installer/LocalSettingsGenerator.php [10:20:54] right, I'll have a look, thanks a lot bawolff [10:21:21] However, if you want to know what each setting does, the comments in includes/DefaultSettings.php will probably be more useful [10:22:12] The last time we added a new setting to the default LocalSettings.php was $wgPingback on Thu Jul 21 21:00:28 2016 [10:22:13] bawolff: thank you so much [10:22:36] the settings files I have are much older [10:22:55] However, those changes i mentioned were pretty minor [10:23:21] is it possible to run LocalSettingsGenerator from the commandline to generate new settings files? [10:23:48] No, but you can run maintenance/install.php to do so [10:23:56] although it will probably make you create a db [10:24:04] I have an existing db [10:24:18] and some multisite configuration, having several sites running on the same instance [10:24:37] and several settings files, all a little bit different [10:24:49] you probably can't use the installer to generate a new setting without letting it set up some sort of fake db [10:25:22] Alright, maybe I'll try to get the comments from the scripts you mentioned and make a template for myself [10:25:45] probably faster than setting a new instance and db just to run that to get a settings file :) [10:26:18] I already noticed that the files have some settings that have been removed [10:26:28] like https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgScriptExtension [10:28:35] Hi im getting this error when i try to run my local instance of mediawiki: https://dpaste.de/7zet can someone help ? [10:29:04] harmaahylje: Yeah, that's been semi-removed since 1.25 [10:29:36] turtle_: Is composer dependencies up to date? How did you install mediawiki [10:29:39] bawolff: is there a list of removed settings? [10:31:10] $wgEnableMWSuggest seems to have been removed too [10:31:23] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:MediaWiki_Deprecated_or_obsolete_features [10:31:29] but its not a complete list [10:31:55] bawloff: i installed using git [10:32:01] bawolff: thanks. I'll use that and manually confirm every single one. So much thanks! [10:32:03] Most accurate list is various RELEASE-NOTES files and includes/DefaultSettings.php comments (or lack of setting being in DefaultSettings.php) [10:32:11] turtle_: did you run composer [10:32:39] turtle_: try running: composer update --no-dev [10:37:06] bawloff: thanks a lot!, it solved the issue [10:37:40] bawolff: thanks a lot!, it solved the issue [10:38:06] Hmm. It'd be nice if we could get mediawiki to generate a nicer error message in this situation [12:17:48] I met some problem here... I've just installed MediaWiki 1.30 on Ubuntu 16.04 32-bit, and I've successfully installed Parsoid and RESTbase. The 8000 port for Parsoid and 7231 port for RESTbase are all accessible and can return the correct pages. But when I try to edit or create pages using Visual Editor, the message shows up: Error loading data from server: Could not connect to the server. I've read through the docs in MediaWiki [12:18:42] it seems that no one has met this problem before. Any help would be appreciated😊 thanks again [14:03:43] Any chance it might be easy to place mediawiki-1.30.0 inside a sub-directory as part of a larger website called by a parent index.php? When I test that out I get : Error: GlobalVarConfig::get: undefined option: 'ServiceWiringFiles' [16:42:53] hello does any one know how not to substitute a template used on signature [16:45:15] Minato826: if you control the wiki there's a way via localsettings.php to accomplish that, otherwise there are workarounds like Template:Nosubst [16:46:02] for LocalSettings.php, setting $wgCleanSignatures = false; will turn off substitution [16:47:24] well template:Nosubst will be enough because i am talking bout thrid party site [16:47:34] *third [16:47:59] k, wikipedia has it in a lua module Module:Unsubst [16:48:13] there's a pure wikitext way of doing it, but I'm having trouble tracking it down (been ages since I've used it myself) [16:49:07] oh, just make the template literally be the content {{{{{1}}}}} [16:49:42] say you name that Template:Unsubst, then your signature would be {{subst:Unsubst|User:Minato826/sig}} [16:50:07] which would make ~~~~ expand to {{User:Minato826/sig}} followed by the date [16:50:27] ok thanks [17:27:47] I'm thinking of installing MediaWiki to make a wiki dedicated to a future project of mine. I want to include fonts that would be essential to both the project and its Wiki. But is there any way I can upload them to the wiki directly from my computer? If so, what code would I have to input? [17:29:30] The-Psychid: you're asking for two different things. Computer fonts and web fonts are different file formats [17:29:46] if you want the wiki to be displayed using a specific font or fonts, you'd need to include webfonts and set up CSS rules to make use of them [17:30:10] if you want to use the wiki as a repository to download font files, you can configure uploads to allow ttf and otf [17:30:32] (although do note that a large number of fonts have licensing restrictions in terms of who can use it / how many computers it can be used on) [17:31:11] So I'll need Webfonts if I want to code in custom fonts on my wiki? [17:38:08] I'm sorry about me being disconnected unexpectedly. But I understand you said something about using Webfonts in order to upload fonts onto your wiki's server. Is that correct? [17:42:51] https://webfonts.ffonts.net [17:42:55] Is this what you meant? [17:43:16] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_typography [17:45:40] Forgive me if I'm giving you a hard time; but I understand that you would have to include font tags in CSS pages. But I was hoping to find a way I can upload my customized fonts onto the wiki's server so that my users won't have to go through the trouble of downloading it themselves. [19:08:14] I always forget how to disable group listing changes in recent changes [19:09:14] i need help with configuring my msi system [19:09:27] briant: Hi. What you need? [19:11:55] i came across this tower and put it together and now i asm having a problem downloading and installing updates [19:14:23] Zoranzoki21: in prefs, the feature is called "enhanced recent changes" [19:15:05] Skizzerz: I want to disable by default for all users on mediawiki [19:15:12] *on my wiki [19:16:07] Zoranzoki21: $wgDefaultUserOptions['usenewrc'] = 0; [19:16:31] throw that in your LocalSettings.php [19:16:39] Skrizzerz: Thank you [19:17:24] briant: What you put together? [19:19:04] well i put in different hard drives and the power supply has sata and ide [19:19:48] briant: You have wiki in local host or on real server? [19:20:42] http://webchat [19:20:57] what?

[19:25:36] buildin a PC [19:26:18] briant: http://prntscr.com/ic15jo here you can see link [19:26:22] example [19:26:48] briant: Which version of mediawiki you use? [19:27:24] briant: that is off-topic for this channel, but ##hardware may be able to assist you [19:36:28] im not sure [19:37:17] thank you [21:33:30] Heya everyone. I'm currently working on a skin for MW but I'm having an issue with some of the OOUI styles conflicting with my skin's styles. Is there any way to disable the OOUI styles? [21:42:16] penguinstyles: kind of, but not really [21:42:56] Are there any major consequences in disabling them? [21:43:45] penguinstyles: this option: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgResourceModuleSkinStyles can be used for the OOUI's modules (e.g. 'oojs-ui-core.styles'), so you can technically amend or replace their styles, but if you remove the styles then obviously they will render in silly ways [21:44:13] and it's difficult to actually create your own "theme" for OOUI widgets
