[03:54:55] external apps can auth against mediawiki using oauth. what about openid? [03:57:37] Sveta: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OAuth/For_Developers#Identifying_the_user is a homegrown OpenID Connect clone [04:32:23] tgr|away: thanks for sharing that link, looks handy :-) [08:36:14] how do I resend activation emails? I can see in the postfix log that one bounced for one newly created user. [08:37:38] I don't see any maintenance scripts to do this, but I may have overlooked something. [09:13:12] madsj: user can ask for one by clicking a link in Special:Preferences [09:30:35] Hey, so I just installed mediawiki, and it looks like there isn't any CSS on the page [09:30:37] https://puu.sh/Ddzyw/023dfd10a6.png [09:30:42] is this normal, or did I miss something? [09:32:37] lcavalier: not normal [09:33:22] lcavalier: Can you check the developer console in your web browser? See if its trying to load things from load.php - and are they 404, 500 or something else [09:33:38] I guess also check your apache and php error logs [09:34:36] Possible causes might be some of the path variables being wrong so mediawiki thinks load.php is not where it actually is [09:34:46] or maybe load.php is throwing an exception or something [09:40:05] bawolff: https://puu.sh/DdzHA/07ff38c4cf.png [09:48:50] lcavalier: Can you add [09:48:57] $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; [09:49:02] To the bottom of LocalSettings.php [09:49:26] lcavalier: Also, how did you download mediawiki? [09:50:06] The error sounds like one of the .less files in skins/vector might be corrupted [09:53:11] I used git [09:53:36] and I was sure to update the submodules as well [09:53:46] where will the exception details be logged? [09:54:06] bawolff [10:05:01] lcavalier: The Exception details thing will make the message show up in the js file like it did before, it just makes the error more verbose [10:05:43] If you're using git, make sure the branches line up (If using a REL1_XX branch, than submodules should be fine for checking out skin. If you're on master, make sure you're using both latest master of vector & latest master of mediawiki, etc) [10:06:05] also make sure all the dependencies are up to date (e.g. Use composer update --no-dev) [10:44:47] bawolff: yes, but if they cannot login; I think I required users to click the activation before they can login. [10:45:16] usually the config is that they can't edit before they confirm email, not that they can't login [10:47:24] madsj: You can manually send one out by running the eval.php maintenance script [10:47:28] and typing something like [10:47:49] User::newFromName( 'UsernameHERE' )->sendConfirmationMail(); [10:51:25] bawolff: thanks :) [10:52:05] At least i think that should work. didn't actually test it [11:49:52] bawolff: I see something in the postfix logs. My other (non-technical problem) is that users often just register and don't make any edits, so it's tricky to see. [11:50:39] you could in principle look at the user table in the database to see which users verified their email [11:51:15] Also, if user to user email is on, you can do by if an "email this user" link shows up in the toolbox part of the sidebar for the user in question [17:39:47] hello - is it possible to change the header font to sans-serif via common.css? [17:43:46] Roadie, https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Customizing_MediaWiki_for_beginners [17:45:32] RhinosF1: changes the default font - does not include headings ... but a good page thank you. Do you know how to change the header font to sans-serif across the whole mediawiki? [17:46:15] Roadie, Thats all I can find. [17:49:14] roadie: Hit F12, inspect the headings and see what CSS rules apply a font style, then define the same CSS selector with the font you want [18:20:18] Vulpix: thank you - found it. .mw-headline seems to be it [19:34:41] hello, I'm trying to use the MediaWiki API but I'm unable to retrieve the login token. I'm following these instructions: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Tokens (making a GET request to api.php?action=query&meta=tokens&format=json&type=login) and it returns a "readapidenied" error. [19:35:55] I'm using MediaWiki 1.24.1 [19:36:36] First off, we don't reccommend running unsupported versions of MW [19:37:42] kgodey: On the wiki, can anon users read pages? [19:37:58] Reedy: no, they cannot [19:38:06] Ok, so that's where that error is coming from [19:39:10] is there a way I can use the API as an authenticated user without changing the permissions for anon users? [19:41:01] (re [19:42:32] kgodey: This is fixed in newer versions of MW xD [19:43:00] sorry, my previous message was sent accidentally before I finished typing [19:43:25] On master (for example)... https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blame/master/includes/api/ApiQueryTokens.php#L122-L126 [19:43:53] we're actually deprecating the wiki, I'm trying to get some data off it before we do (hence the API usage) [19:44:23] Although we don't really advise "hacking" the code.. [19:44:31] public function isReadMode() { [19:44:32] return false; [19:44:32] } [19:45:36] thanks! [19:45:48] You coud just add those to includes/api/ApiQueryTokens.php [19:45:56] I'll do that [19:46:09] And it should work [19:47:00] I would definitely upgrade if we were going to be maintaining the wiki [19:47:05] thanks again [20:22:45] what does `pagecannotexist Namespace doesn't allow actual pages. ` from edit api mean in proper English? [20:23:16] Sveta: probably you're trying to create a special page or something [20:23:21] which obviously doesn't have real pages [20:23:23] or Media: [20:24:05] legoktm: you're right, thanks [20:24:19] np :) [23:34:37] anyone knows why - seems to mess up a hidden navframe?
