[00:23:45] I'm using MEDIAWIKI 1.30.0 [00:34:28] ok [00:34:46] is your wiki public to try? [00:35:29] is not public, is there some extra configuration that I must do or something? [00:36:49] Extension:MagicNoCache needs to also be installed [00:37:37] Is already installed, I don't know if also the format of the page that I want to show must be specific [02:24:12] Does anyone has ever used https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PopupPages ?

Repeating the question doesn't help. [02:40:57] !gethelp [02:40:57] Please read http://workaround.org/getting-help-on-irc for a good explanation of getting help on IRC. [02:49:10] The chat is horrible, is almost imposible to keep track of what people is saying [02:54:01] Jacobo: You're using a webchat interface that's not known for being good. There are better interfaces. There's a list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients (Chatzilla is a popular choice. So is mIRC) [06:07:31] hey [06:08:05] Dos anyone has ever used the following extension? PopupsExtension ( https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PopupPages ) and the MagicNoCache that is needed to run the Popups. I also checked my Special:Version page and everything is installed. Then I create a random page that I called MediaWiki:Example, but when I tried to called it using the Popups Extension with the following line: {{#popup:MediaWiki:PopupPage PopupPa [06:08:33] there is only a grey page that says Article Missing. [06:08:53] I don't think anyone here has, you could try asking on the talk page? [06:09:12] someone else seems to have run into problems as well: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:PopupPages [06:11:11] alejandro-flores: hi, welcome back; see what legoktm said above [06:11:15] I've already done, but no one has answer [06:11:29] you may need to wait a bit [06:12:24] Do you know some example implementation that I could check it out? [06:12:44] nope, but I may be able to try it out on my wiki within a day or two [06:13:15] I'll reply at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:U8k9xsn98d3trpq6 if I find anything interesting [06:19:34] thanks! [06:20:19] alejandro-flores: Don't know the exact functionality but https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Popups might be similar (and maybe more maintained). Just saying. [06:21:15] Hey all, hoping I could get some help with a mediawiki install I'm not having any success with. [06:21:38] Basically, I've been trying for a couple weeks to install it on Azure, and keep running into this problem [06:21:48] https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmkI3T16M7nTi8gPtA2TxGJTLs6OuQ [06:22:38] andre__: I tried Yesterday, but for some reason they asked for that specific extension. I think that the one you showed me only works for links. [06:23:19] ah, true [06:25:24] KSM: So to not make everybody click: An issue with CREATE TABLE `searchindex` on MySQL. :) [06:25:43] (In general, pasting text as text is welcome, so it could be searched for and indexed) [06:26:31] Ah. Sorry. First time doing all of this. [06:27:04] I would have done an internet search for the problem, but there was so much code there that I didn't know what I was searching for. [06:28:36] Like I said, it's happened everytime I've tried to install. If I select "restart Installation", the config begins claiming there are tables already set up, and then brings up a separate but similar-looking error at the end. Or it'll seem to finish, but stalls. Point is, it never arrives at the screen that confirms it's installed. [06:29:53] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:U7aypu18gjt6an85 sounds similar? [06:30:04] Only once has it done actually finished installing, but it still had issues. There was no registered admin account, and createAndPromote would only create, not promote. So I decided to start clean again and come here for help this time. [06:32:39] Yeah, looks like very similar issues. So any idea what I should do? Again, I'm very new at this. I'm familar with how wikis work on the user/editor side, but this is my first time trying to host one myself. [06:35:51] Hello all! I have a question related to Wikipedia and MediaWiki engine. [06:35:55] Check this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft [06:36:00] And its source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft?action=raw [06:36:06] See the logo in source: "| logo = Microsoft logo and wordmark.svg" [06:36:10] And the logo in the article itself: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/Microsoft_logo_%282012%29.svg/220px-Microsoft_logo_%282012%29.svg.png [06:36:19] How does it actually works? How can I get the real image URL? Because this one gives 404 for the moment: [06:36:23] https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f5/Microsoft_logo_and_wordmark.svg/200px-Microsoft_logo_and_wordmark.svg.png [06:36:55] where did you get the second URL from? [06:38:57] probably you need to follow the file redirect [06:38:58] https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Microsoft_logo_and_wordmark.svg&redirect=no [06:56:30] legoktm, I've built it myself, but it doesn't work for common case. For example let's check Google Wikipedia page. What we see in "?action=raw" page: "| logo = Google 2015 logo.svg". What we see in normal page: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Google_2015_logo.svg/250px-Google_2015_logo.svg.png [06:56:47] You can just transform that "logo" infobox field, and you get that URL. [06:56:48] you probably shouldn't reverse engineer the thumb URL [06:56:52] let me find the API for it [06:56:56] Yep. [06:57:01] Thanks! That would be awesome. [06:58:29] resurtm: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=File:Albert%20Einstein%20Head.jpg&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url&iiurlwidth=200 [06:59:07] actually you want formatversion=2, so https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=File:Albert Einstein Head.jpg&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url&iiurlwidth=200&formatversion=2 [07:00:03] legoktm, oh wow! Thank you dude! ;-) [07:00:18] Killed almost half of the day to figure that out. My Google foo was not so good. [07:01:24] no problem :) for future reference there's a bunch of documentation at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page [07:01:49] and autogenerated info at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?modules=query (query is nearly all the read actions) [07:03:42] Thanks! [07:18:32] hi resurtm :-) [07:18:51] What are you using these images for, if I may ask? :-) [07:21:08] Sveta, just an ordinary task: I have somewhere about 500 companies, and I need to get some brief info about them (including logo, legal name, description). [07:21:20] Nothing special [07:21:54] I mean I just have 500 strings which looks like: ['google', 'microsoft', 'apple', ...] [07:22:59] Theoretically, you could also use DuckDuckGo ZeroClick API. https://duckduckgo.com/api [07:24:17] Extracts api (short article summary): https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Bextracts [07:26:19] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PageImages#API [07:26:25] resurtm: ^^ [07:27:00] Thanks Sveta! [07:27:37] ok :-) [10:57:18] Hello guys, ive just started using mediawiki today. Its installed and running. All was working well until i decided change the default skin from the localsettings.php [10:57:37] now the skin is broken, the changes i do dont seem to apply [10:58:44] the page still shows all the text, but without any skin or formatting, I also see a "/" at the very top of the page [10:59:14] In my hastyness, I did not back up the localsettings.php [11:01:10] okay sorry for all this, it worked now, i had a weird character by mistake at the start of the settings file [11:01:15] sorry to bother and thanks [11:01:48] !bom | joe___ [11:01:48] joe___: The byte-order mark (BOM) is a special character added to files by some text editors, most notably, by Notepad. It is unnecessary and breaks PHP code. You should not use Notepad to edit PHP files. Alternatives for Windows include Notepad++, SciTE, EditPlus, and UltraEdit. See also !?> [11:02:06] that was probably your wired character [11:03:36] yeah, i removed it and it worked [11:03:57] sorry i freaked out especially that I didnt back up the original settings, but now its all good [12:48:05] nikhilnk[m]: hi, sorry, for some reason IRC is not letting me respond directly to your message. [12:48:29] hi [12:48:56] Anyway, yes, you're already one of the potential students. Sorry that that wasn't clear. [12:49:13] Thanks [12:52:24] nikhilnk[m]: could you please send me an email so we can discuss the project? My address is yaron57@gmail.com. [13:02:04] hola [13:07:59] There are no rights listed for https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Alldeletedrevisions but I think it's needed. The example URL https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=alldeletedrevisions&adrprop=user%7Ccomment%7Ccontent gives the error code permissiondenied..
