[opensuse-web] wiki: create vs. change
by Felix Miata 23 Dec '11

23 Dec '11

The wiki menu has "change" and "create" under help, but neither seem to address what to do about a page that literally does exist, but contains no content relevant to its title, and no content exists on http://old-en.opensuse.org/ either. A thread on the opensuse list prompted me to consider providing content for /http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Boot_video_modes, but I've never done any more wiki work than minor edits. This seems like a big hump to get over. Any suggestions? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-web] Fun with AccessManager
by Christian Boltz 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Hello, I noticed some fun with AccessManager - using "Sign up" instead of "Login" can be the better choice. Details: I'm already logged in on bugzilla. If I now want to login to the wiki, I have two options: a) click the "Login" link and re-type username and password (which makes the cross-domain single sign-on quite useless) b) click the "sign up" link and get logged in instantly (which is better, but not obvious for the average user) Is it possible to be logged in _automatically_ to the wiki if I'm already logged in on bugzilla? (Or at least let the login box check in the background if the user is already logged in elsewhere before forcing him to re-type his username and password?) Regards, Christian Boltz -- For Linux an additional file permission should be invented: Stooge-Hidden. You set this permission on every file that average user does not understand. The flag does hide the file from the average user, because otherwise average user will cry at you for multiple weeks if they see the file, which might start to become pretty annoying.

The initial problem was that the page footer floated between the left and right box [1]. In other words: we should add a "clear:both" to the .box-footer class instead of relying on the users to always sum up the floated content to 100% of the width (which will not work, as demonstrated ;-) After a short test with firebug, I tend to change the .box-footer class. However I'd like to have feedback first because this class is used everywhere, and I really mean everywhere. In other words: would adding a "clear:both" break anything? 2. what about creating two classes "userpage-leftcol" and "userpage- rightcol" which set the width and float? ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz [1] visible in the old version of the page: http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=User:Cboltz&oldid=14016 -- > If power fails, you can't access your computer at all.

[opensuse-web] Wiki Status Update
by Matthew Ehle 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

I have managed to repair the wikis on stage. Here is the status for each wiki. No need for repair: en de Repaired without error: el fi is it ja languages nl pl sv tr vi zh-tw Repaired (pages lost due to duplication errors): es (9) fr (20) hu (12) pt (11) ru (30) zh (16) Aside from a lot of missing front pages, it looks pretty good to me. I would at least one admin/sysop from each wiki to test their wiki on stage and report back to me (either directly or through the mailing list). As I hear back from each admin, I will apply the changes to the production wiki and unlock it for editing. If you still find too many problems with the wiki, I can roll it back to last Saturday and we can work from there. You can test your wiki on stage by appending "stage" to the subdomain of the wiki (e.g. destage.opensuse.org) These wikis contain the current production snapshot, so this is how they will look in production. I apologize for all the issues that this upgrade has caused. I believe the worst of it is behind us. -Matt

[opensuse-web] Theming Issues Fixed
by Matthew Ehle 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

Hello, A bunch of the theming issues have now been fixed. The problem came from the new MW software using a new PHP script (loader.php) to pull in the javascript and stylesheets instead of having the browser pull them in directly. For security and aesthetic purposes, I have an Apache rewrite that redirects all but a specific list of PHP files. Since loader.php is new, it was not on that list, and Apache wasn't letting it run. Adding that file in the RewriteCond fixed it right up. The good news is that we can now take advantage of centralized loading of css and javascript. Since the majority of page loading time comes from dozens of HTTP requests for these resources, these front end optimizations should make the wikis *much* faster. I don't know if that fixed the red link issue offhand, since I can't find any pages that have broken links. Anyone who knows of a page I can test? -Matt

Hi, I'd like to know how much is important to have pages marked as Quality, Checked, etc. Who is reviewer in Czech wiki translation? Can I become a reviewer?

[opensuse-web] Relatively short session timeout.
by Rajko M. 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Few days ago I had on IRC angry wiki editor that was automatically logged out of the wiki due to inactivity and lost content he worked on. He claimed it was not more them 30 minutes of editing. I didn't timed session inactivity timeout, but it is somewhat short and can surprise people using edit box in a browser, as previous setup allowed much more time. He suppose to file bug report, but today I couldn't find any for openSUSE - opensuse.org - Wiki. Matt can you look at this. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-web] No login from ipv6 network are possible

I will talk to the network team about this and find out what is going on. >login.novell.com & esp.novell.com are both without any ipv6 addr : this is a regression compared to ichain >when the whole infrastructure was ipv6 ready. That's not exactly true. Nothing in that infrastructure is IPv6 ready, especially iChain itself. The IPv6 is handled only by an L4 switch that NATs it to the IPv4 address. However, I understand your point. The IPv6 address is no longer being NAT'd correctly, and we need to set up an IPv6 address for the IDP on Access Manager. I will work with the networking team this week on getting that set up. >I've no fucking idea how to debug that, and my contributions are stacking on my desk without any hope to >solve it >(it's now like 20 days) 14 days, and I have been spending much of that time working on other incidents related to the wiki upgrade itself. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the reminder, and it is next on my list to fix. >If someone in admin staff wants to retrieve informations my ip are >193.72.16.31 >2001:1620:f7c:0:baac:6fff:fecc:1345 >(I don't use tempaddr in ipv6 so it's always the same) > >There's no internet coffee shop around with an only ipv4 connection. So it's painfull. > >During some external work, this week on ipv4 network I can log to all. >Please fix, and help me to help you to fix. You should be able to disable IPv6 via a boot parameter during startup. I had to do this at home because my router kept dropping the tunnel I had set up. I know, it's annoying, but it should work. My suspicion is that the L4 appliance was not set up correctly on the IPv6 configuration to load balance across the new servers. I will talk to the network team about this. Also, I will work on getting IPv6 set up for the IPD, so that should fix the login issues.
