[03:24:23] Jarodalien蠢货 [03:25:18] we fuck Jarodalien [15:12:23] no [15:20:04] I have a maybe noob-ish problem. I installed some extensions on a new wiki I'm working on and it went fine, except that running update.php complains about EmbedVideo and (separately) ShortDescription complaining about a missing extension.json. I did run 'git submodule update --init --recursive' in extensions and 'composer update --no-dev' in the main mediawiki directory, so I'm kind of lost as to what I missed [15:25:59] For some reason the extension directories were not recursed into and thus the extension.json files are missing is my guess. Perhaps I did something slightly wrong. Should the extensions have it's own composer.json ? [15:26:40] most extensions don't use composer and therefore don't have composer.json [15:27:15] submodules need to be explicitly registered in git; having a git repo in a subdirectory won't make git commands on the parent directory know about it [15:27:25] (so you'll need to go into each extension individually and update) [15:27:53] or register each of them as a proper submodule, but this will make core updates trickier due to carrying local commits that don't exist upstream [15:43:15] thanks moonmoon ..... manually recursing the dirs did it. I do remember having written a script that will do it for me, which I abandoned, when I got the wrong impression that it is not necessary, and I could not find it [17:46:23] hello [17:46:37] I'm working on installing https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount#Configuration [17:47:02] it says: Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed. [17:47:28] how do I navigate to it on my wiki? [17:48:05] would it be: https://mywiki.com/wiki/Special:Version [17:48:22] or what? [17:50:10] Peppi^: yes, that would be correct if you have pretty url writing working. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version is an example [17:50:31] you can type "Special:Version" in the search field [17:52:53] sec [17:53:37] ahh thanks MatmaRex, the trick was: /index.php?title=Special:Version [17:54:10] how do I make it so I don't need index.php?title= part? Like wikipedia does? [17:54:36] !shorturls [17:54:36] To create simple URLs (such as the /wiki/PAGENAME style URLs on Wikimedia sites), follow the instructions at or try the new beta tool at . There are instructions for most different webserver setups. If you have problems getting the rewrite rules to work, see !rewriteproblem [17:54:37] Peppi^: see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL [17:54:52] ok thanks [17:55:20] it's important that you do NOT install the wiki in a path actually called "wiki" in the file system, anything else though [17:55:45] that is.. if you want to use "wiki" in the "pretty URLs" [17:55:55] usually "w" is used [18:03:08] hmmm so looking at Special:Version I do not see 'ConfirmAccount' installed. But I don't see any extensions [18:04:47] Peppi^: do you see a "installed skins" section? [18:04:58] it would be under that in a new section [18:05:29] you would have to add an IncludeOptional line or so in your LocalSettings.php to add an extension [18:06:40] mutante, yes installed skins [18:07:07] so no nothing. After installed skins I see installed libraries [18:07:15] Peppi^: check the LocalSettings file [18:07:32] sorry, laptop battery critically low, be back later [18:07:33] yes I included it in localsettings. [18:07:41] and then ran the upfate [18:09:04] hmm.that's ...weird [18:09:20] maybe paste how you included it [18:09:57] at the bottom I added: wfLoadExtension( 'ConfirmAccount' ); [18:10:31] then I ran the web upgrade [18:10:40] hmm have to run be back in an hour
