Project talk:Support desk/Archive 05/Flow export

By any way(through extensions or writing some script) is it possible to set site logo depending on user who is signing in?

We have partnered with various other companies who sells our product by their own name for example our actual product name is ABC, but our one partner is selling it with name XYZ and another is selling it with name MNO.

What we are looking for is to show site logo depending on the person who is signing in. So if person signing is from partner 1 then we show logo of XYZ and so on. 182.69.127.211 (talk) 08:33, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

If you want to change it depending on the person who _is_ logged in, and not who currently is _logging in_, you could to that diretly in LocalSettings.php:

if ( RequestContext::getMain()->getUser()->isLoggedIn() ) {
  $wgLogo = 'the/one/logo.png';
} else {
  $wgLogo = 'another/logo.png';
}

However, I would strongly suggest to not use that, as the wiki configuration shouldn't be user/request dependant as this could result in problems, e.g. with caching or something else. This is also not guaranteed to work or will still work in future versions of MediaWiki. You also need to have a way to distinguish users by the company or whatever you want, so you need to group users, and from your question you don't say how you plan to do that. It's also more complicated if one user can be associated with two companies, what do you do then?

You probably should setup a wiki for each brand you want to create. Probably you can explore a way to share _all_ contents with Manual:$wgSharedTable? Florianschmidtwelzow (talk) 15:33, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi,

Thanks for reply!

On how we will distinguish users, our plan was to have user names such that we can know to which partner that user belongs too. For example if user name is Partner1_Peter then we will show logo of partner1. In our case one user will be associated with one company only always.

Can you please elaborate on "This is also not guaranteed to work or will still work in future versions of MediaWiki", in what scenarios it is not guaranteed to work?.

"You probably should setup a wiki for each brand you want to create. Probably you can explore a way to share _all_ contents with Manual:$wgSharedTable?"

Yes! That is one option but in that too there is an issue. As our product name is different for every brand the content of every brand will have different brand name. I read that it is possible to substitute variables in Mediawiki, can that be done on basis of site where the page is hosted? For example if page is hosted on brand1 site then in content we should use brand 1. 182.69.127.211 (talk) 04:44, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

> Can you please elaborate on "This is also not guaranteed to work or will still work in future versions of MediaWiki", in what scenarios it is not guaranteed to work?.

The problem is, that the LocalSettings.php file is evaluated while MediaWiki is setup, so even if the User object is already available and fully working in the current version of MediaWiki, no one can guarantee, that it will work in a future release of MediaWiki, because, maybe, the initialization process changed or something else. That's why I wouldn't suggest to rely on this.

Btw.: From what you write, I would think it will be better to have different wikis for each of your brand. I'm not sure, how you want to substitute variables in MediaWiki, and even if it's possible I'm pretty sure, it will not work as you expect because of the internal caching of parsed wikitext, which is integrated in MediaWiki for performance reasons. I also would say: Different site logo + different content = different site, so you should use one MediaWiki installation for each wiki. Florianschmidtwelzow (talk) 11:13, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Our content is same, just some keywords will change. For example, one site will say "Product 1 offers an easy integration of tools" while another site will say "Product 2 offers an easy integration of tools"

It will be error prone and too much maintenance to keep multiple sites and make any change in document at all the sites manually. 182.69.127.211 (talk) 12:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Having two different sites with the same content (except some little keywords) is, just for the record, probably the worst idea you can do, but it sounds you don't want to deliver to "different" sites, just one site with different flavours, if I can say it in this way. I can say, that you'll probably have some problems with implementing this with MediaWiki. Firstly, the Parser Cache is not built to be dependant on the request or user basis, just on the wikitext (if wikitext changes -> re-parse, if user or request changes -> deliver pre-parsed text). Turning off the parser cache is, in general, a very bad idea from a performance point of view. The same with the site logo: The MediaWiki infrastructure is, as far as I know, not built to provide a different site-logo depending on the user. What you could do is to have a copy of your skin for each company and "hard-code" the skin in it and set the skin setting for the user, or something in this way.

Global HTML/CSS modified per page

Hello community, I was hoping to solve this issue: I am writing a custom skin and I need to style the mw-body-content to be a fixed width, however I only want to apply this fixed width style on one page.

I have tried searching for the page via ftp in my server files however I cannot find the .php file containing the template html with the classname "mw-body-content" I figure if I can find it in the source code, I can add a unique identifier (i.e. a CSS "id") and then style it in my skins style.css file.

If someone could provide some help it would be much appreciated.

Migration of 1000 files from sharepoint to mediawiki.

we have to migrate 1000 files from sharepint to mediawiki as content(like wiki page) not as link.

Is there any way to do this?

Moreover file format may be pdf,ppt,excel and docx.

So need to do migration in bulk in mediawiki as automated process. 106.200.209.251 (talk) 07:06, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

If you want to upload all those files I recommend using the ImportImages.php maintenance script of MediaWiki. Be aware that MediaWiki does not allow the creation of sub directories within its file repo. In a first step you will need to fetch the files from SharePoint and put them all into one directory. You might have to resolve naming conflicts, e.g. "sharepoint/Website1/Lib/Some_File.docx" --> "mediawiki/Website1_Lib_Some_File.docx", "sharepoint/Website2/Lib/Some_File.docx" --> "mediawiki/Website2_Lib_Some_File.docx"

If you want to actually convert the files to wiki pages you might want to hire someone. See Professional_development_and_consulting. Osnard (talk) 14:43, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Changing MathML font size to match surrounding text

Hi,

We had used mediawiki 1.23.3 and we have stopped using it for sometime now. But when i tried to use the site recently it's not working as expected. Is there any general reason that might be causing this like is this related the version of mediawiki. My mediawiki site looks like below. Even if i try to navigate any of the following links say 'main page' or 'login', it's throwing the "HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found".

Kindly help me with this as am not able to find a reason to why it's not working properly.

How to get Parsoid always running on Windows Server 2012 so ViaualEditor Works

Hi, I'm really struggling getting Parsoid running on Windows Server 2012 R2 ans stay running when I close the command prompt window

I can Get Visual Editor working when I run in CMD (or PowerShell):

CD C:\Users\%UserName%\node_modules\parsoid

node bin\server.js ("node bin\server.js &" or "node bin\server.js > stdout.txt 2> stderr.txt &")

Visual Editor runs when I leave this window open, however as soon as I close it, log off or anything that terminates it, Visual Editor stops working.

How am I able to run this command and keep it working and not have it rely on my profile also? AdamLacey (talk) 14:52, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

I have copied "C:\Users\%UserName%\node_modules" to the Root of the C:\ and it works running it from there so it's no longer profile reliant. However I still can't get it to run without closing a the window.

I have setup a windows domain account that doesn't have desktop access so it can run scheduled tasks if required but I am not successfully got it running allowing wiki to work, or without flooding the task manager with loads of node.exe's, so I'm still stuck on the always running part AdamLacey (talk) 16:15, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

You should look at running parsoid as a service. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 20:32, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, this isn't working for me? I did the parts:

The recommended way to install node-windows is with npm, using the global flag:

npm install -g node-windows

Then, in your project root, run:

npm link node-windows

Then ran the .vbs file with the code in it (with my edits and as it is to make sure typo's etc):

var Service = require('node-windows').Service;
// Create a new service object
var svc = new Service({
    name:'Hello World',
    description: 'The nodejs.org example web server.',
    script: 'C:\\path\\to\\helloworld.js'
});
// Listen for the "install" event, which indicates the
// process is available as a service.
svc.on('install',function(){
    svc.start();
});
svc.install();

My Edits:

var Service = require('node-windows').Service;
// Create a new service object
var svc = new Service({
    name:'WikiMedia Parsoid Service',
    description: 'The nodejs.org example web server.',
    script: 'C:\\node_modules\\parsoid\\bin\\server.js'
});
// Listen for the "install" event, which indicates the
// process is available as a service.
svc.on('install',function(){
    svc.start();
});
svc.install();

But I get the error each time:

---------------------------

Am I missing something obvious here?

It says it is erroring out on character 23 of line 1. Make sure you aren't using smartquotes there and that it is just a regular, ascii apostrophe.

Also, make sure you have node-windows installed.

Let me know if neither of those fixed it. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 00:22, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

I've retyped the characters in case copy and paste did anything and made sure node-windows by running it again in the I said above was installed with the results below,

npm install -g node-windows

+ node-windows@0.1.14

added 5 packages in 1.433s

but it still doesn't work and returns the same error message AdamLacey (talk) 11:42, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Try the other answers from the link I gave above. One of them should work. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with node.js running as a service under windows. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 03:51, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

No worries, thanks for your assistance so far @MarkAHershberger, I will use the Task Scheduler on start up to run the node.exe, it runs the node.exe averagely that 34 times but not loads more it seems, so they will do as it is working.

Many thanks AdamLacey (talk) 08:28, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

New Wikimedia Developer Support channel (test pilot)

Hi, https://discourse-mediawiki.wmflabs.org/ has just been announced.

As explained at Discourse#One_place_to_seek_developer_support, Project:Support desk has been until now the only channel whose main purpose is to offer support for developers and other technical contributors. As maintainers of the Support desk, you are invited to check the new Wikimedia Developer Support test pilot. Your feedback will be key to decide the next steps of this pilot and its relationship with Support desk.

While in Discourse (the software used in this new space) users get more permissions automatically as they make useful contributions to the project, I think that those of you maintaining the Support desk could be assigned directly the Moderator role there. If you are interested, create a new user in the Discourse instance and ping me.

Also, what would be the best way to proceed advertising Wikimedia Developer Support here at the Support desk? Reasonable options could go from not announce it (to avoid confusion to users landing here) to direct developers to invite developers to use the test pilot space instead (which would bring more traffic and therefore better conditions for a good test).

I am trying to get MediaWiki set up locally but I am getting the title error, followed by:

Installing some PHP extensions is required.

Required components

You are missing a required extension to PHP that MediaWiki requires to run. Please install:

- fileinfo

---------------------------------------------------------

- I have PHP v7.0 installed and verified the next 2 points in both the x86 and x64 directory.

- the 'php_fileinfo.dll' file is located in the ext/ directory

- I have added the line: ' extension=php_fileinfo.dll ' into the php.ini file and it is not commented out.

Just wondering if I'm missing something basic? :P Or if anyone has any idea... SteveGAU (talk) 01:16, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Out of memory - No luck using memsize=63

I wrote a baseball program with over 6500 lines of code (using functions, etc.) and I'm at a point where I cannot add any more code. Out of memory. Is there any way to add memory? I'm at memsize=16 but nothing else will work. NMCosmicGuru (talk) 21:08, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

You can use ini_set function in your code. 星耀晨曦 (talk) 12:12, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Upgrade to PHP 7.1.15

Hello.

We currently have on the server the PHP 5.11 and would like to upgrade it to one of the most recent PHP 7.1.15 for our Wiki. We downloaded zip-file for PHP 7.1.5, unzipped, ready to move the unzipped directory to C:\PHP and replace php.ini in C:\Windows. Previously at the end of php.ini file (for 5.11) we have had the following lines to support our Wiki:

----------------------------------------------

[WebPIChanges]

error_log="D:\rri\php\logs\php53_errors.log"

upload_tmp_dir=C:\WINDOWS\temp

session.save_path=C:\WINDOWS\temp

cgi.force_redirect=0

cgi.fix_pathinfo=1

fastcgi.impersonate=1

fastcgi.logging=0

max_execution_time=300

date.timezone=America/Los_Angeles

extension_dir = "C:\PHP\ext"

;extension_dir = "C:\easyphp\www\mediawiki-1.16.0\extensions\"

[ExtensionList]

extension=php_mysql.dll

extension=php_mysqli.dll

extension=php_mbstring.dll

extension=php_gd2.dll

extension=php_gettext.dll

[PHP_LDAP]

extension=php_ldap.dll

---------------------------

QUESTION: Should we add these lines to the end of new php.ini file for 7.1.15 PHP or for PHP 7.1.15 these lines somewhere have to be modified/updated? Where? Please let us know. 198.232.187.14 (talk) 00:14, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

User name / password

So its been awhile since I logged into wiki. I'm unable to remember my user name. I'm pretty sure they register email and IP so I'm unable to set up a new account. Anyone know how I can contact wiki support? 201.195.126.8 (talk) 01:20, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
