by Ct Woo 23 Jan '13

All, The switchover work is done. The site was was available to readers throughout the migration work though it was in read-only mode for about 32 minutes, when Asher and Mark had to migrate the database masters over from Tampa to Ashburn. We will cancel the reminding maintenance windows. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Coding conventions
by Yuri Astrakhan 23 Jan '13

I feel we should keep in line with the function calls. There are already way too many spaces as it is, and there is never a problem telling control structures apart - they are always followed by an indented block and most editors highlight them. I think if(), while(), foreach(), for() should all be without a space after keyword.

Coding conventions

Our coding conventions for PHP are currently ambivalent on whether we should write "if (" or "if(". It's probably time to pick one. Discussion at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual_talk:Coding_conventions/PHP#Control_s…

[test] style check on mediawiki/core
by Antoine Musso 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

Hello, I have finally integrated PHP_CodeSniffer to report PHP style errors in MediaWiki core. PHP_CodeSniffer tokenises PHP and detects violations based on a set of coding standards. You can get it running on your local installation by following the very lame install guide I wrote at mw.org : https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Continuous_integration/PHP_CodeSniffer#insta… Whenever a new patchset is uploaded in Gerrit, Jenkins will run phpcs on each file modified by the patchset and report the errors. The status points to the console for example: https://integration.mediawiki.org/ci/job/mediawiki-core-phpcs-HEAD/30/conso… >From there click on the left on the Violations link to get a meaningful report and a details of violations per file. Ex: https://integration.mediawiki.org/ci/job/mediawiki-core-phpcs-HEAD/30/viola… Don't worry, it is not going to block merge since the result status is actually ignored. The set of rules is in mediawiki/tools/codesniffer.git : https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/tools/codesniffer.git Reference: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35588 -- Antoine "hashar" Musso

Hi all, As you might have heard Wikimedia Nederland, Wikimedia UK, Wikimedia France and Europeana are collaborating to provide a set of tools to get material from GLAM institutions onto Wikimedia Commons.

You can find more about the Wiki GLAM Toolset on our project page. <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:GLAMToolset_project> Currently we are looking for wiki-developers who can help us in this process, if you are interested please let us know.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Disable module "mediawiki.searchSuggest" in MW 1.20+
by Robert Vogel 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

Hi Thomas, thanks for sharing your experiences. The issues you mention can truly be problematic. I will keep them in mind. But for my use case "jquery.ui.autocomplete" does work quite well. > [...] and my advice for MediaWiki is, _not_ to go this way. I don't think there were considerations about changing MediaWiki's built-in suggestion feature. That's not what this discussion is about. It's just about a little (very specific) extension I'm working on. :) Robert

Disable module "mediawiki.searchSuggest" in MW 1.20+
by Robert Vogel 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

Hi everybody! I'm writing an extension that needs to replace/disable the build-in suggestion feature of the search box. In earlier versions this could be archived by setting $wgEnableMWSuggest (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgEnableMWSuggest) to false. But with 1.20 this option is no longer available. In includes/OutputPage.php:2484 it seems that $wgUseAjax is the only condition (despite of user settings) that is evaluated to decide whether to add the module "mediawiki.searchSuggest" or not. But I don't want to disable the ajax features completely. ResourceLoader doesn't offer me any hooks or interfaces that would allow my extension to remove the module programmatically. Any hints on this? Thanks in advance!

New 1.20.2 install didn't prompt for license or private mode
by Jay Ashworth 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

Is that stuff supposed to go after one chooses "no, ask me more questions"? Cause I was not asked *any* more questions. On a related story: if I give the installer a table prefix for which the tables already exist, what will it do? I have 3 wikis in the same DB, and I therefore cannot simply drop the DB... and you apparently can't use wildcards in DROP TABLE. Cheers, -- jr 'Bobby; where are ya'?" a -- Jay R.
