[00:14:10] Are there any other guides to setting up pywikibot on your own mediawiki site than this one: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Use_on_third-party_wikis#Bot_&_HTTP_auth [09:48:08] MediaWiki - Debian, clean install. Howto create new user ? [10:05:50] kallenp: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Account_creation [10:37:30] Hi all. I have a problem with the Syntax Highlighter extension. I'm loading the extension in LocalSettings and it appears in the Version special page. But when I copy the same code as the examples with tags, the page is added to the error category, and no color appears. The website is uploaded in a paid hosting. I tried installing the extension myself for my wiki version and I have th [10:41:18] Lid: Your text was cut after "and I have th". [10:41:59] I see the whole text. Sorry for that! [10:42:17] (...) and I have the same problem. [12:36:29] "now working" or "not working", one wonders [12:36:41] Too bad they went away before I could ask [13:58:52] I'm trying to use DPL, It's outputting a little too much, it's outputting a link to "Template:Extension DPL" {{#dpl:|category=test|uses=Template:test|include=test|mode=userformat}} how can I make sure it only includes the pages with the template in the exact way the template wants, not add anything more? [14:01:59] finalbeta: did you run update.php after installing DPL? [14:02:12] that template is automatically included on all pages that call DPL, and update.php should populate it with an initial version [14:02:27] it won't have any page output, but serves as a way to find all pages that use DPL via Special:WhatLinksHere [14:04:42] I did not, I can't find any reff to that ( https://help.gamepedia.com/DPL:Source_and_Installation ) perhaps I'm missing other things too. I just created the page, empty, and that solves it, but I might have broken something then :P [22:12:54] Hey guys. Possibly silly frivolous question. I know wikimedia is using phabricator. I'd run into a missing functionality with phab that it appears one "epriestly" understood poorly the nature of. A function mediawiki has built in. I was wondering if by some miracle one of you guys had dropped it into your phabricator instance already ☺ [22:13:18] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Pdf_Export ← was hoping to be able to do this with the phabricator document wiki to generate static deliverable doc PDFs [22:13:51] the example doesn't seem too terribly hard so maybe I could figure out how to do it myself. but. man it'd be nice if I could do it w/o having to learn too much of the phabricator code first. [22:14:29] https://secure.phabricator.com/T10149 ← (closed phabricator bug where he seemed to think browser print to PDF was an adequate substitute) [22:16:01] https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TracWikiToPdfPlugin ← similar thing from long ago we used to rely on that worked beautifully for this purpose, and seems almost identical to mediawiki's [22:16:27] Anyway. NBD. Was just a shot in the dark. Gonna start by seeing if I can find all the code for mediawiki's implementation first [22:17:16] hm. seems to be abandoned. [22:18:51] * nemo grabs the zip from seb's comments before it disappears [22:26:45] :o [22:27:43] nemo: our main thing is https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection which can use different PDF makers [22:29:32] I'm not sure which of those would be suitable for adaptation to a JavaScript-heavy HTML webpage [22:32:00] nemo: you mean the pediapress mwlib? [22:34:05] nemo: I am using PDF export from confluence at the customer's - subpages saving feature helped me a lot [22:34:41] On the other hand, I think epriestly would really like in what respect printing to pdf is not enough [22:34:45] Nemo_bis: doesn't need to be JS heavy at all. well. I *hope* [22:35:05] s/really like/& to know/ [22:35:09] Nemo_bis: I mean. phabricator uses a fair amount of JS but... [22:35:21] pretty sure their wiki docs render ok w/o it [22:36:11] Nemo_bis: that collections thing looks nice too [22:36:20] let\s try phab with js turned off :) [22:36:38] Nemo_bis: yeah, idea would be to collect a bunch of wiki pages and turn them into a user guide or project plan or whatever other random deliverable was required [22:36:49] saper: heh. I did actually just today. Was like "why are these action menus not working" [22:37:03] "oh riiiight, I changed browser profiles" [22:37:12] saper: but it took me a surprisingly long time to notice this 😃 [22:37:26] quite a lot renders just fine w/o it. hopefully the wiki HTML would too [22:38:14] Nemo_bis: it was way way easier to do this in Trac like a decade ago, so suprising this sort of thing has disappeared. maybe the idea of static deliverables is passé but try convincing the client of that :/ [22:41:46] I proposed recently to digitally sign PDFs created from the wiki to a client :) [22:44:07] heh. but. sure. why not [22:44:58] saper: main issue I've had w/ "We want to securely sign contract document X" is that is not something very easy to do in browsers [22:45:09] saper: workflow tends to be. download static copy, sign outside, upload again [22:46:42] saper: someone on phabricator channel proposed print to pdf in chrome headless server side, but that's way more convoluted for a complex collection of wiki pages. not to mention that of the 3 major browsers, the one that seems crappiest at PDF generation of long documents has been chrome [22:46:58] saper: mostly due to their awful support for splitting inside tables, whether on a print page or anything else [22:47:34] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1407238 I chimed in here in case it comes to that, but figuring out how to hook up what you guys did would be preferable [22:47:40] or even better if you guys had done it already 😃 [22:48:35] 1.31.0 tarball doesn't seem to have the nuke extension anymore, but this isn't listed as a change anywhere. or am i missing something?
