[01:19:07] Real quick maybe anyone have any idea what it means when extensions/CentralAuth/maintenance/attachAccount.php processes a name but doesn't report any attached, partial, failed, or missing? [01:35:14] anyone ever encounter login redirect on safari Mac? [01:37:10] login works, but user is redirected back to login page in a loop. Works fine in Chrome and Firefox. Very strange. [02:14:59] Hey all! Hoping to get some help with the Structured Discussions extension. [02:16:14] Basically, I keep getting an error when I run the update script as the instructions on the Extension page say to do. It says: [02:17:42] Query: ALTER TABLE `flow_topic_list` CHANGE topic_list_id topic_list_id binary(11) not null, CHANGE topic_id topic_id binary(11) default null [02:18:41] Initially, despite this error, the extension worked. But now it says the only message that's used the Structured Discussions was posted 48 years ago. [02:59:33] Anyone? I resolved the error on update, but I still have the timestamp issue. All the new topics have a timestamp of 1969 [03:01:14] 1969 is interesting. [03:01:50] jan 1 1970 is the zero point, so 1969 implies your timestamp is a small negative number [03:02:39] It's odd, because it only happens to the Structured Discussion posts. All other changes on-site are timestamped correctly. [03:03:48] Flow does some weird stuff with timestamps and moment.js. it doesnt follow what the rest of MW does [13:25:28] hey guys, does anyone know how is Wikipedia currently implementing their "download as PDF" feature? [13:26:25] flying_sausages: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ElectronPdfService [13:27:10] andre__, I'm reading a little more into this, is this the implementation they are mentioning is breaking or is this the new one? [13:30:41] we have a new install of mediawiki, but cannot get logged into web interface. unsure of whether there is a default user or root user that would have access. can anyone offer advice? [13:42:42] itdocs: mediawiki shoud allow new accounts to be created via the web interface. also, a "root user" is created during the installation process, using the credentials supplied to the installer. [13:43:43] if you created a "closed wiki" (i.e. account creation is not freely possible), you will need the credentials that were given to the installer to log in, and create accounts for otehr users. [13:44:11] if all else fails, you can use maintenance/createAndPromote.php from the command line to create users. [13:56:57] we have run the installer. unfortunately, when we visit the web interface, we are immediately prompted for username/password. when we enter administrative user account credentials we created during installation process, login fails. have also attempted the "root" user credentials. [13:57:57] are you using some extension that provides an alternate authentication mechanism, such as LDAP? [13:58:13] ...another reason for login failing is a problem with session management [13:58:30] if php fails to store session data, login is not possible. [14:03:09] being that we are prompted for username/password at web interface, we "assumed" we could use the administrative user account created during the installation. this is a new installation of mediawiki, so we are not using any authentication beyond the default, at the present time. [14:04:21] our goal when we started this project was to migrate our production mediawiki from one legacy server to a new server (CentOS 7, PHP, MariaDB). we have tried unsuccessfully... [14:05:06] flying_sausages: "they are mentioning" where? More context welcome :) [14:05:26] andre__, ah sorry, let me ;pull that in [14:05:38] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/PDF_Functionality [14:06:23] Basically, I need a better way to export entire PDF categories than what I currently get from PDF books becasue a lot of ther formatting gets lost [14:07:28] flying_sausages, OCG is not used anymore, as far as I know [14:08:01] also, by PDF Boooks I am referring to the PDFBooks extension [14:17:50] Hi! Is it possible to regain access to my Wikimedia account if there is no recovery email address stored? I would be happy to keep my achieved status. [14:28:06] Pkw98: That's a question for a Wikimedia channel I'd say... (In general, how would you prove that you are the person who owns that account?) [14:56:51] Technical Advice IRC meeting starting in 5 minutes in channel #wikimedia-tech, hosts: @addshore & @Pablo_WMDE - all questions welcome, more infos: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting [16:08:47] does anyone know how to add protection to 200+ pages at once? [16:11:05] oh, protect.php may do it [16:32:49] wmat: protect.php only does one page at a time, but you could script it in a loop. Like, make a text file with one title per line, then run the following: cat myfile.txt | xargs -d '\n' php protect.php --reason="Protection reason goes here" [17:20:09] Skizzerz: thx, I'll have to do that [17:28:03] hey guys, I'm trying to configure this plugin to chuck out a PDF for me, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ElectronPdfService [17:28:26] I can't seem to find the documentation on this, but has anyone ever styled the PDFs coming out? [17:28:48] is that something I need to do in Electron? [20:07:47] Hello, what would the proper format be for me to use parserfunctions to display a one link if a page exists and a second link if it does not exist [20:08:18] example...if the page sandbox exists then display the link to sandbox if it doesnt exist display the link to sandbox&action=edit [20:08:47] kevindank: thats default behaviour [20:08:52] #if [[sandbox|Sandbox Exists]] | [[sandbox|doesn't exist]] [20:09:11] Sveta_ i want to be able to give the link a display name to [20:09:30] [[Sandbox|{{#ifexist:Sandbox|Sandbox Exists|doesn't exist}}]] [20:09:56] kevindank: oh. use https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##ifexist [20:10:23] Thanks skizzers...now taking it a step further id like the doesn't exist to take me to the edit section [20:10:35] it already does that [20:10:50] if you [[link]] a page that doesn't exist, the link appears red and takes you to the edit page when you click it [20:10:58] huh, why is git pull not working for me [20:11:08] sorry i men &action=formedit [20:11:14] using pageforms [20:11:25] then you need to use an [external link] [20:11:33] combine with the {{fullurl:}} parser function [20:11:38] yes, thats what im trying to figure out [20:11:45] hmm, third time was the charm [20:12:06] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words#URL_data [23:18:27] Run [23:18:39] Start
