[08:28:46] quick question, if I remove the "move" right from a user group, they'll not be able to move pages with the "move-subpages" right? [15:19:55] how can i alternate bg color of entire rows that span other rows [15:21:11] like column 1 row 1 spans rows 1-5 on column 2 [15:21:19] i want the whole thing a certain color [15:21:42] then column 1 row 2 spans rows 6-10 on column 2, make them another color [15:21:47] and so on [19:29:15] Hello [19:30:58] I'm looking for help in authincating a user on my asp.net page so when they go to my wiki page (On a different web server) that they will be logged in. There are only certain people who will be able to edit. [19:35:52] Am I in the correct place to ask this question? Thanks [19:45:20] NeedHellp: Well, you did not actually ask a question. [19:45:51] is there any suggested method of hiding specific pages or parts of pages from anonymous visitors? [19:46:30] i understand its not core functionality, but there's many different routes around it, having a case of 'too many trees' here [19:47:16] Sorry about that FoxT. I'm trying to figure out if what I'm trying to do is possible. When a user logs into my asp.net site I do a check in my oracle table if they have wiki edit rights. If so when they click on the link to go to the wiki page I want them to already be logged in and be able to edit. Is this possible? thank you [19:53:05] buZz: Selective reading permissions are not supported out of the box and are generally not recommened. If you want to try it anyway, maybe use https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Page_specific_user_rights_extensions as a starting point. [19:56:18] NeedHellp: Sorry, I don't know enough about asp.net. Maybe https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:SessionManager_and_AuthManager can help you. [19:58:06] man, those are some serious downsides listed there :/ [19:58:22] i guess i'm gonna need to setup a second wiki :) [19:58:23] I've looked at those, but I'm not sure I understand once I authenticate the user on my site what to pass to my wiki site to tell it to login the user. Can I do it without having to add the password to the query string? [20:07:49] yes that's possible [20:08:19] You can basically do anything you can imagine (The Auth system is very flexible), but its kind of complicated to understand [20:09:07] buZz: Generally speaking, as long as the anons are not allowed to edit, having a whitelist of pages they can see and not letting them see others is usually fine [20:09:26] buZz: problems happen if you want to hide pages from some users, but let the same users edit other pages [20:10:20] yeah i just want them to see everything but a couple [20:10:36] so i'll just start another wiki, no big problem [20:17:29] What would be thebest way to understand the Auth system? I've read so many different opinions on it and some are deprecated now that I'm not sure what the best approach to use is. I'm running MediaWiki 1.30. What would be a good starting point to understanding it? [20:18:29] NeedHellp: honestly, take an extension that does something similar to what you want, and see what it does [20:37:15] My site doesn't use cookies only client session variables to know that they are logged in. I'm not sure what extension is similar to that. Another issue is that my website and the wiki are on 2 different web servers. I was going to try login from API.php, but I can't send the password with it being encrypted. [20:38:18] Hello everyone. Is there a function or extension in existence that will pass back a true/false as to whether a user is logged in or not? [20:38:52] Amie: Is the context from making a web request, or from within an extension? [20:39:04] Amie: In the api, see ?action=query&meta=userinfo [20:39:34] I want to be able to know this on a wiki page, not in the backend code. [20:39:42] Amie: If you are in a mediawiki extensions, see $this->getUser()->isLoggedIn() (Assuming $this is an instance of IContextSource) [20:40:04] How about from a template page? [20:40:39] Amie: So at save time, you can look at {{subst:REVISIONUSER}}, but that doesn't work at view time [20:41:21] Could $this->getUser()->isLoggedIn() be used in the common.js file? [20:41:41] !e UserFunctions can do in page, but that will kill your cache [20:41:41] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserFunctions_can_do_in_page%2c_but_that_will_kill_your_cache [20:41:50] !e UserFunctions [20:41:51] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserFunctions_ [20:42:20] From js, do mw.config.get( 'wgUserName' ) === null [20:43:11] Great, that's what I needed. Thank you. [23:26:17] Does anyone have information on how long it should take to load a Wikidata dump into BlazeGraph and what parameters to set to make this fast? Our loading times are several days on a machine with an SSD, which seems much slower than it would take with Virtuoso.
