Will continue doing some security auditing. I'm gonna set up a dev box at uni with xmlwiki and migrate our current content onto it. That process will be good for ironing out any remaining bugs and security holes that may remain. --Rob 21:08, 27 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

Yo, I have a question about using the div tag on the cats page etc. What do the arguements class=portlet etc in <div class=portlet id=p-nav> do? How come they dont need quotes? I assume id=p-nav creates a unique tag for that div tag, but I can't find info on the options. --Sven 23:52, 25 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

Those id's and classes match the CSS rules in default-skin.css, there's no quotes etc because I'm being a casual wiki person and not caring about them ;-) (Actually they're the same id's and classes from the original MediaWiki CSS) Nad 09:16, 26 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

Yo, at Justins? Im not doing anything this arvo and thought I might come round if your not doing anything? --Sven 11:41, 25 Feb 2006 (NZDT)


Will have a go at the installation of peerd, from the instuctions, Ive slready failed step 1 by using the default wikidb database :(

There's just a fair bit of hardwired stuff in there at the mo - I can't send peer-specific parameters to the scheduled functions yet to use different db name etc... (not urgent though just means it won't backup your db yet) Nad 22:33, 23 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

--Sven 22:31, 23 Feb 2006 (NZDT)


The image with moving clickable links (I assume using Ming) is so damn cool, you must get the peer logo doing it too... --Sven 22:28, 23 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

Yip it's Ming SWF compiler (not compiling onchange of the local *.as yet) - but there's no need to upgrade the peers logo since I'm changing the peers whole interface to SWF in the next few days :-) Nad 22:35, 23 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

ok, from what I could make out about UltraVNC, it runs on a windowz machine, but can run on OS X (or any other OS supporting Java), via the JavaViewer. --Sven 22:23, 23 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

Aw shit - I forgot you were OSX again - maybe just check out the latest peer install instructions... Nad 22:24, 23 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

Can we get a robot to do dummy edits of articles automatically if someone alters the category field only (especially in the xml properties)? I am finding it a pain in the arse...

Sven 17:20, 21 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

Yo, In Commands.pl I couldnt see if the wiki backup was also backing up the images directory. Do we need to? Sven 14:51, 21 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

Images should be backed up too I guess - that's done now :-) Nad 16:46, 21 Feb 2006 (NZDT)
Cool --Sven 17:20, 21 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

Something I noticed today about MediaWiki embedding, is that the embedded article does not update as new revisions are made (using {{:foo}} to embed foo into another article), you must do a dummy edit to update it, wheras xmlwiki [[+foo]] automatically updates the embedding revision - nice

I think Ive solved the syntax highlighting of DNA using the REGEXPS field,

   'REGEXPS' => array(
             1 => array (
                  GESHI_SEARCH => '(a*)',
                     ),

)

'STYLES' => array(
 1 => 'color: #FF0000;',

), Doh you can only cant have more than one element to modiy in REGEXPS! Sven 16:38, 10 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

The perl.php uses more than one:
	'REGEXPS' => array(
		0 => '[\\$%@]+[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*',
		4 => '<[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*>',
		),

Personally I like sticking to a convention of naming peer processes after real androids, thats a nice way to do it, as they have User namespace. For some reason I cant yet get going on a default MediaWiki install. Still trying, the instruction information is a bit sparce. Sven 07:53, 10 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

Did you require_once('extensions/geshi/geshi.php') from index.php? Nad
No I didn't, I've now tried that and still have not got anything happening. There is also more that one GeSHiHighlight.php kicking around and unofficial patches. Really need to sort this out with our own documentation which I am starting Sven 08:19, 10 Feb 2006 (NZDT)
Oops - no its the GeshiSyntaxHighlight.php that is included in index.php, and you must add all your classes like dna to that script. We don't use that file in xmlwiki as it includes geshi directly from LocalSettings.php instead. Nad
Yes I noticed, in [MediaWiki/GeSHiHighlight.php] comments they also recommend using include("extensions/GeSHiHighlight.php"); in LocalSettings.php (theres also some pointers to prevent page caching when desiredSven 08:44, 10 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

There definately seems to be a lag as to when GeSHi starts implementing the new colour schemes. This could be what you were experiencing when you tried the newer version. Any ideas if anything could be causing this server side? See Talk:CS255988.nt.

Have you checked out the python wikipedia bot? It may give you furthur ideas...

Sven 16:53, 7 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

file in the /tmp directory should be there now.

Sven 14:03, 7 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

As I mentioned about the logs for the bots, e.g. User:Gir, under Gir/Log, there could be a bot specific list of log files (conserving namespace), something like;

Gir/Log/process.log
Gir/Log/process.log.1.gz
Gir/Log/process.log.2.gz
Gir/Log/process.log.3.gz
Sven 13:24, 7 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

Remember that molecular biology technique I was describing to use for copying DNA, see polymerase chain reaction for an overview when you have time...

talk page and a few points;
  • where is the best place to discuss development?
Talk:Current Development
    • project management
no place for this yet
    • tracking hours
can be discussed at Talk:Import-oo.pl
    • etc
    • I have used email, article talk pages, user talk pages, and made up my own articles. ideas?
    • i suggest that we ban email and use this forumn exclusively.
I'm into that - we have the email-to-article working here, but it also appends the email headers which should be deleted
Personally I think email etc of articles is a feature. Users just need to be aware that email is decentralized, any content you want permanant record of should be somewhere within the xmlwiki framework. For highlighting an article to collegues who are not current users of xmlwiki it is ideal. Sven 10:56, 7 Feb 2006 (NZDT)
agreed. a bot to extricate or hide the headers would be nice. I have added this to Feature_Request#clean_up_headers_in_email
  • i am finding it hard to keep track of so many talk pages. it seems to me some of you have

a way of seeing recent changes "live"? by keeping the recent change page open. how do you do this? Maybe if someone suggested a watchlist, or if we could create a development watchlist.

Yes the OD changes update each minute, but some of us use watchlists as well.
You could also add talk pages of interest as bookmarks either on your own Bookmarks:Phalseid, or within another article Sven 10:59, 7 Feb 2006 (NZDT)
  • is there some form of statement that we can start to create that we all agree to as far as this being "owned" by everyone, etc. Maybe im just missing this, if so, please inform me or i will get this started. My concern is (speaking for myself)that we are all using this with our own twist on it. i would rather have one "centralized" development space, and i don't think im the only one that has client data mixed in with this.
The main dev space is Current Development, which is a page containing all the current strands and projects. I'm not sure what you mean about owned, but the project does not subscribe to the concept of intellectual property, since it considers it to be an anti-spiritual crime similar to usury.
yes, i meant "owned" in the collective sense, hence the quotes. i agree with the philosphy espoused herein and practiced by Ghandi and his mentor, Tolstoy
  • i would also be helpful to have guidlines for "creating a new node", and have people that would trade resources (i can give money) for moving client information OFF of div0 for example onto their own space. Phalseid 09:40, 7 Feb 2006 (NZDT)
Such order would be good - we've been finding the "casual" nature of wiki a bit difficult to get under control too, but we're getting used to it, and also have some extreme organisational tools on the way - mainly regarding the accounting and time-management aspects. see Talk:Import-oo.pl.

Yo, I've added dna.php into the correct path for GeShi. The file is currently out of sync with DNA.php. Can you see what is wrong with it, it doesnt seem to colorise yet for my example, CS255988.nt Sven 09:27, 7 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

Already been checking it out, but can't see the problem yet... Nad 09:33, 7 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

Gee, i would like to log in once and be authenticated across all peers/xmlwikis that trust me. is this possible? Phalseid

Unfortunately the authorisation is handled by the webserver and is linked to the domain and browser cookie/session. For the login to work globally we need the you know what... :

Nad 18:19, 3 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

what if we put the you know what in our User:Name properties. <password>sup3rs3r3t</password> Phalseid 09:47, 7 Feb 2006 (NZDT)
am i crazy?Phalseid 04:03, 8 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

Was I right in having to setup another Wiki account to use Pollen Wiki (same name)? Sven 10:26, 17 Nov 2005 (NZDT) (cut in by another user) Sven 11:47, 10 Feb 2006 (NZDT)

see ?
No. don't set up any users in any other wiki's, the others are managed by bots. Nad 09:32, 8 Feb 2006 (NZDT)
