[03:45:39] I'm having a slight problem with 1.30 after an upgrade. Special:WantedPages is empty despite there being lots of obvious links. The other Wanted pages work fine. Any idea what could be causing this? [03:47:45] I've tried running rebuildall.php, but it didn't help. [04:40:58] oh, sort of found the problem [04:41:14] the upgraded version's query for the wantedpages is borked [05:02:59] Hi I'm trying to use page forms extension to create forms but i'm unable to select the suitable input type(rating for example) [09:16:02] hi, it's possible to install mediawiki in subdir w/ and get the linke as /wiki/TITLE ? [09:20:58] !prettyurls [09:20:59] To create simple URLs (such as the /wiki/PAGENAME style URLs on Wikimedia sites), follow the instructions at or try the new beta tool at . There are instructions for most different webserver setups. If you have problems getting the rewrite rules to work, see !rewriteproblem [09:21:03] Sia-: see ^ [09:28:00] Some mediawiki sites I am working on have Facebook like buttons. There is a setting $showFacebookButton but I have been unable to find where it is tied to. Is Facebook like button included in mediawiki or is it an external extension? [10:23:27] harmaahylje: I don't know, but did you search "Facebook Mediawiki extensión"? [10:29:27] legoktm i know that but this config is for wiki in w and website root. i have my own website in root. i need the wiki stay in wiki/ [10:37:39] harmaahylje: definitely external [10:38:00] harmaahylje: it kills the privacy of all MediaWiki users as you let some 3rd party company know about every single page that you visit [10:39:28] andre__: I am aware of that, I have suggested the removal of it [10:39:35] But I can't really find what it is [10:40:10] can always be custom code? [10:40:16] I found traces of an old extension that might have been used, but supposedly is not loaded anymore: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?oldid=2325769 [10:40:31] andre__: where could I possibly locate custom code? [10:41:04] anywhere? [10:41:55] Anyway, there is a mess of extension files that have the name of EmbedMultiClick which is being loaded, but it doesn't say that it has Facebook stuff, there is EmbedMultiClick_old which says it is that Facebook like, but supposedly not being loaded, very confusing [10:42:10] well, just grep for showFacebookButton ? [10:42:39] andre__: well I have searched for traces of that variable, nothing shows up with $showFacebookButton [10:43:04] I have tried to go through templates within Mediawiki sites, but can't find anything where it is being added. In the sites it is an iframe [10:44:54] Sia-: it most definitely is possible, configure it with your webserver, then (out of my head) set $wgScriptPath to /wiki/ [10:45:25] ok thanks [10:46:23] Sia-: and don't try that out in production please :) [10:58:51] Alright, I think I have figured the facebook like thing out somewhat. Somebody at some point has MANUALLY edited the source code of some extension, adding in something that potentially uses this *insecure* facebook like extension. No documentation or comments so I will just get rid of it (and hope that the product owner doesn't want me to add facebook in any way) :P [12:16:52] harmaahylje: scary [12:42:59] Nikerabbit: well yep. I still haven't figured out how google analytics is added. there is a DEFINE('GOOGLE_ANALYTICS') with the code but that's it [12:43:14] can't find any extensions related to that [12:47:31] anyway gtg now, have a nice weekend everyone [15:31:12] Hi All. I'm running a local instance of MediaWiki and installed the UploadWiki extenstion. However after successfully uploading a file / image I click on continue and arrive at the 'Release rights' page. I'm unable to proceed any further due to no 'Next' or 'Continue' button. The installation I'm running: MediaWiki-1.26.0 and Upload Wizard-1.5.0 License:GPL-2.0+ [15:32:11] sorry meant to say - UploadWizard extension [15:38:31] Franko, which branch of the UploadWizard extension? [15:38:35] Franko: your mediawiki version is too old [15:38:38] (also, is there a reason that you run.... [15:38:43] yeah, Skizzerz said what I thought :P [15:38:59] UploadWizard requires 1.27 or later [15:39:27] Sounds like an older version of UW too, I think we had a regression like that a year or two ago [15:39:40] latest git master of UW says 1.5.0 in extension.json [15:40:01] Wouldn't be surprised if that hadn't changed in a while [15:40:08] then again, I don't know if or when that version number was bumped [15:41:18] Franko: upgrade mediawiki to either 1.27 or 1.30. If you go 1.27, you'll need to upgrade to 1.31 in the nearish future whenever that gets released, as 1.27 is ending support soon-ish; 1.26 is already end of life and no longer receiving any updates, not even security updates. Upgrade all of your extensions (including UploadWizard) at the same time [15:41:50] as a general rule, it's best to always have the same version of an extension as your core mediawiki and vice versa. [15:42:17] yes and no [15:42:36] we are rather terrible with our backwards and forwards compatibilty documentation, so if you don't really understand everything you are doing, that is your best bet. [15:42:42] depends on the extension. If you go that route, you can be reasonably certain there's no compatibility issues, but many extensions do not backport bug fixes [15:43:00] 'depends on the extension' is exactly everything that is wrong with mediawiki :) [16:25:35] Thanks guys for your inputs, really appreciate it. [19:13:58] I am sharing extensions between multiple instances of mediawiki. Recently I often get an error when PHP is looking in the local extension directory and not in the shared extension directory for files. Is it possible to have multiple extension directories? (I don't want to make symbolic links to all extension folders for all instances). [19:26:20] Vince42: you can run multiple instances from single codebase [19:27:22] oh? is there a "How To" for that scenario? Besides: the server is administered via Virtualmin, which does not "allow" such a configuration, I guess. [19:29:26] all you need is access to LocalSettings.php to add the instance choosing logic and have the different domains point to the same code [19:30:44] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family [19:34:19] ah, okay [19:35:15] but the basic architecture does allow only one extension folder, right? [20:11:46] Vince42: yes, only one extension folder [20:11:52] if you absolutely must have multiple, use symlinks
