[04:29:53] *sigh* what happened to my debug toolbar? [09:32:44] The manual for writing maintenance scripts make use of "echo" rather than "$this->output(". [09:33:43] Is it meant to be like that? It sort of make sense to have developers focus on the more important stuff to get a script working. [09:34:46] But as I learned from that manual, I ended up with a bunch of scripts that used "echo", which was caught by a random volunteer code reviewer. [09:34:58] So perhaps I should just update the manual? [10:06:56] kalle: Yes, it's desirable to use $this->output. It would be great if you can update the manual [11:59:27] Vulpix: Alright, thanks! [14:46:10] I'd like to remove the sidebar in mediawiki for 1 user who complains it takes up valuable space. The solution I can think of is described by Krinkle here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Qabfuz873y6h2gwo [14:46:35] I'd like to copy an existing skin, then edit it [14:47:23] However when I copy the folder 'Vector' and name the copy 'Vector_NoSideBar' and load it in LocalSettings.php mediawiki barks [14:47:40] How would I go about this? [14:48:23] the goal being that the 1 user can select the Vector_NoSidebar skin in his preferences [14:49:34] sroelse: I'd recomend coding it as a gdget, and having the user enable that preference [14:49:38] no need to fork the skin [14:49:49] forking the skin means all other extensions will no longer recognise and be able to augment/support that skin. [14:49:59] oh i see [14:50:03] e.g. Echo, Flow, Mobile, VisualEditor etc. it would become an "unknown" skin. [14:50:54] I believe Gadgets is installed by default, so you can create e.g. MediaWiki:Gadget-vector-no-sidebar.css and then a checkbox will appear for it in the preferences. [14:51:21] nice [15:11:32] Much appreciated Krinkle; I got it working! [17:21:48] taking the gadgets in another direction, what would I have to do to place the sidebar on the right hand side of the screen? [18:02:43] sroelse: rotating the montor would certainly work ;-) [18:03:07] I don't think that'll be as easy to do, but it's certainly possible with enough CSS rules to do. [18:03:07] :D [18:03:36] it will however be unofficial, so after each upgrade, it might need to be updated. [18:03:55] but yeah, the content area margin can be changed, and then the sidebar positions from absolute right:0 and left: auto etc. [18:05:48] ok. I'll leave it as it is for now. I'm okay with how it looks, but there's a user who is pushing my buttons lol [18:07:30] Give that user this css rule, and enjoy: body { transform: scaleX(-1); } [18:10:54] Actually, it doesn't seem to be that hard to do. This pretty much does it (some margins need to be adjusted though) https://dpaste.org/5EjY [18:27:01] ah nice Vulpix ! :) [18:43:59] the lolippop once is good i think [18:44:48] :facepalm: please ignore, wrong window [23:28:30] Hi, I was wondering if this channel is still active and what it's used for since I haven't seen anyone post anything here for the last few days? Thank you! [23:29:25] ? [23:29:37] https://wm-bot.wmflabs.org/logs/%23mediawiki/20200910.txt [23:29:48] https://wm-bot.wmflabs.org/logs/%23mediawiki/20200909.txt [23:29:55] https://wm-bot.wmflabs.org/logs/%23mediawiki/20200908.txt [23:30:43] Oh! thank you, I'm not able to keep my computer on for long periods of time so I must have missed all of those! [23:31:18] See the link in the topic for the channel logs [23:31:50] It's definitely not busy 24/7, but it's far from dead [23:32:12] (y) Thanks again!
