[06:42:14] is there a way i can allow CSS in the markup of a wiki page? (don't ask :<) [06:42:56] im migrating thousands of pages from a wiki which allows tags [07:04:22] hmmm maybe i can just leave the tags in. it seems to be taking at least some of the CSS [07:05:47] khalella: look at $wgAllowSiteCss (MediaWiki:Common.css) or the TemplateStyles extension [07:06:22] There's also the CSS extension, which has less restrictions, but potential security issues [07:31:42] awesome thanks legoktm [07:32:10] im going to try allowing the span tags with a limited set of styles, and hope that covers most of it [07:33:47] can anyone suggest an audio player that is up to date? the only audio extension showing as "stable" on Category:Audio_player_extensions looks like it uses an audio player which is dead http://wpaudioplayer.com/standalone/ [07:34:57] maybe i shuld just follow what wikipedia does... provide a direct link to the file, with a little speaker icon next to the link [08:03:04] when files are imported into mediawiki, some characters in the filename are changed. for example + becomes _. where can i find a list of these changes, so that I can emulate them ? [08:07:55] is this some kind of standardized URL sanitization that i can use in my script [11:45:36] hi everyone [11:45:56] is there a way to prevent anyone else apart from the original creator of a page to edit it ? [11:59:46] Combined2857, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Other_restrictions [12:01:23] thank you andre__ [12:01:33] this is what i'm looking for but its unmaintained https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EditOwn [12:02:12] or maybe this ???? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AuthorProtect [12:04:23] How easy it would be for me to hire someone to maintain an extension or fork an unmaintained extension ? have there been job offers here before ? [12:35:20] Combined2857, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Professional_development_and_consulting [12:37:52] thank you [14:19:34] Hi [14:19:59] I have a question about downloading meta-data [14:37:42] Combined2857: I'm available and know people. (I'm also on that list...) [14:42:01] I see hexmode[m], have you developed any extensions ? [14:42:45] I have. I'm contributing to a few. [14:44:13] Combined2857: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/owner:mah%2540nichework.com+status:merged [14:48:55] thank you hexmode[m] you do seem skilled when it comes to mediawiki, I'll keep you in mind later on when I'll want to install the wiki [14:49:32] :) [16:08:56] Why does the database username and password are shown in the config file? If I give ftp access to someone to help me install an extension they will be able to hack me afterward [16:08:58] s [16:11:49] don't give them ftp access if you don't trust them [16:14:02] Nikerabbit: you cannot trust anyone that much to show them your password though. What if you have someone help you or someone leaves from the admin team [16:14:17] this information should have been encrypted [16:16:06] Combined2857: if they have ftp access, they can upload a php file that will print them db passwords and all db content [16:16:55] ...and the encryption would help... how... if people have root access to the machine anyway? :) [16:17:32] ftp access is not root access [16:18:05] you can only upload download and delete files from a certain directory that was given access to you, not SSH access [16:18:35] it's basically a shell access because they can upload php that is executed by the webserver which has wider priviledges [16:19:19] Nikerabbit: can they also find user passwords ? [16:19:45] encrypted passwords hashes, yes [16:23:24] wtf [16:23:58] basically you should manage your wiki yourself. How do large wiki protect their users and their passwords from that ? [16:26:12] do not give a ftp access. use CI and code review. [16:28:57] In WMF case, anyone can be request for change configurations. but merge to production is restricted to trusted users only. [16:30:11] Combined2857: the wiki needs to authenticate to the database [16:30:18] so it needs some kind of authentication there [16:30:43] rxy: what does CI mean? [16:30:55] the database server may not be accessible from the internet, or only allow those credentials from the web server ip, though [16:31:09] CI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration [16:31:27] ah I see [16:35:14] so its best all admins pull requests to a repository, and a CI instance changes the files in the ftp [20:01:21] hello all [20:06:37] it is possible to edit the layout of a category??? [20:12:16] temuccio: one category or multiple or all? [20:12:49] all category...I would like to change the html of "Page in Category" [20:14:42] temuccio: would CSS (styles) be enough? [20:15:26] do you mean the listing of pages in a category? [20:16:42] yes I need to add some class at section "page in a category" to style it with bootstrap [20:17:30] maybe you could copy the style and put it in mediawiki css [20:17:39] Mediawiki:Common.css or something like that [20:17:48] probably to the css of your skin [20:18:55] Do you mean to copy the css code bootstrap in a default class of mediawiki "page in a category"?? [20:19:46] yes [20:19:56] that's what comes to mind as an option [20:20:05] ok I try it thanks [20:20:10] I don't know how you could edit the category listing html [20:20:14] perhaps there is a template for it? [20:20:45] I don't know :( [20:20:51] But I try with css [23:36:11] Hi. Do you have some recommendations about extensions? For me the most important was the VisualEditor but I don't know any other relevant extension
