[08:02:36] In our articles for LibreOffice Calc functions, I use the directionality mark ‎ with negative numbers as seen here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Calc_Functions/SERIESSUM#Calculate_approximate_value_of_sin.28x.29 [08:03:33] The problem is that if we triple-click select a number or select and copy multiple cells, the invisible directionality mark is copied as well. It will then cause problems, if pasted into Calc as numbers are interpreted as text. [08:03:52] The first thing that came to my mind is to create a piece of JavaScript that allows to copy a single cell or a full table (minus headings) while dropping any of those directionality marks. [08:03:56] Any other ideas? [08:05:32] i have a support issue, can i just post it in here? [08:05:59] Mirghon, sure [08:06:07] no comment on whether anyone will be around who can answer [08:06:25] hi folks! have been trying for a week now to get uploaded images to work. images via commons worked immediately, but with my own images - i managed to fix all the error messages shown in the debug log, but the images are still not showing [08:07:05] buovjaga, what's the stated need for the mark to begin with? [08:07:05] im suspecting imagemagick is not able to create the appropriate thumbnails, but i have no idea why [08:07:39] the images folder has accessibility setting 777 [08:09:40] ideally, id like for someone to check through my debug log quickly so that i know what the issue is [08:11:09] Izno: well, from my side I admit more of a cargo-cult... I saw a Hebrew translator adding it and thought we have to have it [08:11:56] yeah, it's not really necessary directly in most ltr languages of course. [08:12:21] um, give me a sec [08:16:00] so, a couple thoughts, and I don't know what's most valid and what's not: [08:16:10] 1. investigate whether tag can solve it [08:16:19] 2. investigate whether dir attribute can solve it [08:16:47] 3. investigate whether css `dir` can solve it [08:16:54] er, css `direction` [08:17:08] thanks! [08:17:09] make a template with appropriate span for each of those for the command of interest [08:18:21] er, for commands in general [08:19:11] (also, I've been MSOffice free at home for a while now, thanks for working on LO) [08:24:30] let's see what does for a Hebrew page... [08:25:10] is the one that's used in the citation system on en.wp to isolate text of a certain direction, so I think it should work, I just don't know if it will help when copy-pasting [08:25:27] right! [08:26:28] good news: it does not appear to add any extra invisible char [08:29:31] I tested it with the negative number in this table: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Calc_Functions/SEC#Examples: [08:30:02] page in Hebrew https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Calc_Functions/SEC/he FuzzyBot updated it [08:31:27] Thanks a lot, I will email this to the wiki editors I was discussing this with and they can triple-check it. I think I can use ReplaceText with a regex to mass-replace [08:35:52] anyone here who can help me with my mediaWiki installation issue? [11:04:21] anyone here who can help me with my mediaWiki installation issue? [11:42:25] Mirghon: just ask your question, someone will answer when they can [11:42:56] well i already asked earlier...ill wait i guess [12:07:08] Mirghon: You can try to send a request to thumb.php manually and see if it errors out or what happens. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Thumb.php [14:46:12] Could use a CR on this test cleanup before it merge conflcits again :) https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/765598 [15:40:59] I left a "reviewer has a working mouse" sorta +1 on it ;-) [16:24:16] Krinkle: Glad I nerd sniped you into fixing it xD [16:44:01] is there a way to get the english language name of a special page from a specialpage object [16:44:08] to see if it's in a list [16:47:03] Probably... [16:47:13] ->getDescription() ? [16:48:27] RhinosF1: there's a few different ways even. The JS var wgCanonicalSpecialPageName is computed as: $canonicalName = $services->getSpecialPageFactory()->resolveAlias( 'MySpecialName' ); [16:48:47] $canonicalName = $services->getSpecialPageFactory()->resolveAlias( 'MySpecialName' )[0]; [16:49:15] possibly $specialPage->getName() itself is always canoncial, but I'm not 100% sure. [16:49:21] I'd pass it to resolveAlias() just in case [16:50:31] Krinkle: how would I actually compare them then [16:50:39] if I had a list of english names [16:50:49] RhinosF1: the canonical name is the "english" name [16:51:36] so if your list is [ 'Contributions', 'Recentchanges' ] then the $canonicalName will be in that list [16:51:50] in_array would tell you if it's in there [16:55:42] Krinkle: ok
