WikiEditor - custom dialogs
by Jan Wort 15 May '13

15 May '13

Hello, [Sorry If you got this already from the same list; I had some trouble with the server and the message did not appear in the archive. So here my 2nd trail :-) ] I'd like to use custom dialogs and buttons in the WikiEditor (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiEditor). I managed to get my own dialogs running, but I have some trouble. Most annoying is that often I am unable to call any dialog (my custom ones and the ones that the editor has already for links and images). I suspect that is has something to do with the order in which resources are loaded; the only visible correlation so far is that if my custom button is on the last position in its section all dialogs are not working the order changes sometimes after reload). Thats what I did: (on MediaWiki 1.20.5, Vector Skin) - enabled the javascript debug mode in the local settings: $wgResourceLoaderDebug = true; - the javascript I use for the customization is currently in Mediawiki:Common.js (but should move to a skin specific js probably) - use the customizeToolbar-function from the WikiEditor-toolbar customization page (http://bit.ly/xPH8Gl) - adding the button to the toolbar using: $('#wpTextbox1').wikiEditor( 'addToToolbar', {…'tools':{mytool:{… 'action:{ 'type':'dialog','module':'mytool' …}}}} (but better see the code here: http://jsfiddle.net/FApr9/) - adding the actual dialog module to "$.wikiEditor.modules.dialogs.modules" using "$.wikiEditor.modules.dialogs.modules['mytool'] = {…}" (again, http://jsfiddle.net/FApr9/) If anybody could give me advice in how the reliably integrate a custom dialog in the mediawiki toolbar I would be thankful. Kind Regards, Jan PS.: Less problematic, though interesting too: does anybody know how to create a link-like text instead of a button? PPS.: I'm new at the list, so if the question does not belong here, feel free to point me at a more suitable place.

Lucene search warning

I am getting an odd error in my lucene.log 2171399005 [Thread-8] WARN org.wikimedia.lsearch.frontend.HttpMonitor - Thread[Thread-47446,5,main] is waiting for 464401213 ms on mediawiki-1.16.0beta2 2171399005 [Thread-8] WARN org.wikimedia.lsearch.frontend.HttpMonitor - Thread[Thread-45468,5,main] is waiting for 464412666 ms on 2171399005 [Thread-8] WARN org.wikimedia.lsearch.frontend.HttpMonitor - Thread[Thread-48716,5,main] is waiting for 464387961 ms on * 2171399005 [Thread-8] WARN org.wikimedia.lsearch.frontend.HttpMonitor - Thread[Thread-48303,5,main] is waiting for 464389249 ms on 10.146.48.5 2171399005 [Thread-8] WARN org.wikimedia.lsearch.frontend.HttpMonitor - Thread[Thread-48291,5,main] is waiting for 464389276 ms on 10.146.48.5:443 I have posted this to the Lucene-Search extension page but got no results. The warning seems to not impact anything other than having a large amount of warnings placed in the log. Any advice on how to resolve these or troubleshoot what is causing them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

case 51177 Transfer wiki pages to a different format
by Taylor, Bryan 14 May '13

14 May '13

Greetings, I was given this address in hopes you guys might have an answer to my situation. I have got the wiki shell up on a CPU. That device is going to be removed, and I'm trying to figure out a way to pull the information off of it (a flat file perhaps), so that it can be incorporated into a SharePoint archive (I've got a couple hundred pages, but not all of them will need to be transfered). Do you guys know what would be the best way to get that info off? I'm just going to put it into word documents, and then upload them onto SharePoint. Any Advice/help would be most appreciated, thanks. Bryan Taylor

Getting rid of the confusing "(top)" in Special:Contributions
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 14 May '13

14 May '13

Many generations of users in many (but not all) languages have been confused for years by the "(top)" in [[Special:Contributions]]. This is the message [[MediaWiki:Uctop]], which several languages, for clarity, translate as "current", and now also en.wiki thanks to a German-speaking sysop probably imitating German translation. Other languages translate "top" as "last revision for the page" or variations/shortenings thereof, but that's either too long (if full) or too confusing (if shortened). Unless there are objections, I expect "current" will be approved as new English default soon. See https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/58049/3 Nemo

Finally, if you could also look over https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21, I'll be using an edited version of that to make the final announcement. If you spot problems or areas that could use clarification, your help in improving it would be appreciated.

Creating new assignable user group for multi-lingual sites
by Dan Fisher 13 May '13

13 May '13

I want to create a new user group called "Group X editors". This text would appear having its own assignable checkbox in the User rights interface. Here's a screenshot <http://postimg.org/image/o567yni59/> of that. This text would come out different in different languages (where the red arrow is). I can do the following that creates the group and I can assign it using a checkbox: $wgGroupPermissions['group-x-editors']['group-x-editors'] = true; But then I only see "group-x-editors" next to the checkbox. I want to see customized text for each language. I thought something like this would work: $wgGroupPermissions[wfMessage('group-x-editors')->text()]['group-x-editors'] = true; But that doesn't work. I've seen some existing "user rights extensions" which create new rights but the few that I saw in this<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Extensions_which_add_rights>category did not provide an additional checkbox. They only created an entry in Special:ListGroupRights Does anyone know how to do this, or does anyone of know an existing extension that creates a user rights group, where the text shown next to the checkbox changes for each language? Or maybe the text next to the checkbox is fixed and cannot be changed according to the current language? Dan
