[00:21:21] Krinkle: acknowledged - that was from today's clinic duty triage meeting. I'll bring this back up to consider again. [04:07:58] Hello [06:36:42] hey all. I'm trying to use the mpdf extension (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Mpdf) but when I try to export as pdf I get errors like "[XsTP76U8uBHJxiGMepnAuAADgRA] 2020-05-20 06:36:32: Fatal exception of type "Error"" [06:36:54] strangely, html export works [06:36:59] any thoughts on what is going on? [06:50:33] Smaug_: You should be able to find the exception ID XsTP76U8uBHJxiGMepnAuAADgRA and its backtrace in your log file. Or if this is a local development install with no public access, you can enable $wgShowExceptionDetails to show the backtrace in the HTML response. [06:51:17] This page has some nice tips on how to configure logging and debugging: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug [06:53:08] awight: thaks will look into [06:53:21] Good luck :-) [06:54:19] Smaug_: Looking at the extension page, it requires a PHP library https://mpdf.github.io/ , do you have that installed already? [06:54:38] it's downloaded as part of the xtension right? [06:56:28] Sorry, I misread this--yes I think you're right, it's just a normal composer dependency. But there are some special steps to make sure the library gets installed by composer, still... [06:58:09] Another gotcha is mentioned in the Installation section, there are three directories that should be writable by the web service ("www-data" on Ubuntu, for example) [15:49:05] How do i add custom links on mediawiki side bar [15:51:08] !sidebar [15:51:09] To edit the navigation menu on the left, edit page [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] on your wiki using its special syntax (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar for details). If you need more control, you can use the SkinBuildSidebar hook (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/SkinBuildSidebar). [15:51:16] satdav: ^ [15:54:02] can i reset the admin password i dont have mail setup for the wiki [15:58:58] yes, there's a maintenance script for it [15:59:32] were do i find this [16:00:35] maintenance/changePassword.php [16:01:56] i am getting the following message You don't have permission to access /maintenance/changePassword.php on this server.

For extensions, see [16:36:24] Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /var/sites/w/wiki.disability-community.club/public_html/maintenance/Maintenance.php on line 376 [16:36:56] thats the error i was getting when i was running the maintence script [16:39:07] satdav: apparently you're running an incompatible php version from command line. Check if there's another php version available on the server under a different name (php7, etc) [16:39:34] it is running fine the site [16:40:01] wiki.disability-community.club [16:42:35] i might just take it down and do a full reinstall [16:43:20] php7.3 i am running [16:45:01] https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/REL1_34/maintenance/Maintenance.php#L376 [16:45:34] ?? is a php 7.0 feature [16:45:39] satdav: note that web server may be running a different php version than command line [16:45:55] try php --version [17:07:51] sorry I am back [17:07:57] I am going to upgrade it at the sheell side [17:12:37] I am going to file a ticket with the host as it seems to be a issue [17:25:05] It is playing up on the control panel I am on 7.2 but on the site its saying 5.6 [17:25:17] I am going to file a bug with tsohost [19:51:29] Vulpix, just spoke to the host it is running 7.3 but the base php is 5.6 [19:52:47] satdav: What? Is it like running Windows XP with a skin like Windows Vista? [21:51:44] hi, i would like to know is it possible to have a javascript code run through out every page on my wiki? would i have to put it on the index to do that? [21:56:08] !sites [21:56:08] There is no such key, you probably want to try: !gsod, !pastebin, !pastelocalsettings, !query, !security, !shorturls, !vulnerability, [21:56:10] ffs [21:56:11] !sitejs [21:56:14] !js [21:56:14] To set up custom javascript on a wiki, edit the page called [[MediaWiki:Common.js]] (NOT a file, a page on your wiki, which is included via
