13:11 🔗 danneh_ Heya guys, downloading a few wikis not covered by anyone else yet, wondering whether anyone's looked into a 'theme extractor', or any sort of a basic theme grabber or anything similar?
13:12 🔗 danneh_ Pretty new to wiki grabbing (and MediaWiki in particular), and otherwise I might have a look into it myself
13:30 🔗 danneh_ Could be pretty interesting, 'specially for wikis which just modify the default theme instead of creating their own
13:32 🔗 danneh_ *coughValvewiki*
13:33 🔗 danneh_ Although, it may need to do some creative git stuff, or something of the like, to get proper versions of the files and such (or at least optionally do that)
15:10 🔗 Nemo_bis Dud1: what do you mean theme?
15:10 🔗 Nemo_bis * danneh_
15:11 🔗 Nemo_bis ah, the skin, because we currently don't archive it? indeed you should file a report http://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/issues/list
15:15 🔗 Dud1 I assume there isn't any wasy way to find out how much/many things I have left to backup?
15:15 🔗 Nemo_bis and it should be possible to get a list of wikis with custom skins from wikiapiary.com
15:15 🔗 Nemo_bis Dud1: the script at the beginning tells you how many pages there are and it keeps saying how many were done already
15:22 🔗 danneh_ Nemo_bis: ah yep, skin. On the 'Getting Started' page, we should probably also give people a bit of a description on how to use the uploader.py tool, how it expects the actual api.php url in there (but I'll throw that in an issue a bit later, anyways)
15:23 🔗 Dud1 It tells me the title list was completed in a previous session then says retrieving the xml for every page from X
15:25 🔗 Nemo_bis danneh_: what's the getting started page? we use http://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/wiki/NewTutorial
15:26 🔗 Nemo_bis Dud1: so you resumed the download? then just count the lines in the titles .txt file, wc -l in unix
15:26 🔗 danneh_ Nemo_bis: gah, that NewTutorial page. my apologies, my brain's a bit fried at 1am
15:29 🔗 danneh_ Nemo_bis: I'll throw them up as issues tomorrow before/after work, don't stress about them too much now. thanks for the help thus far!
15:29 🔗 Nemo_bis danneh_: I had added something to https://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/source/browse/trunk/uploader.py#18
15:30 🔗 Nemo_bis I agree it should be in the tutorial somehow
15:31 🔗 danneh_ Nemo_bis: ah, fair enough. I had a quick look through the file, but must've been a little silly and skipped that line
15:47 🔗 Nemo_bis danneh_: well, that's clearly not how usage of a script should be documented :)
15:50 🔗 danneh_ Nemo_bis: aha, fair point :)
15:50 🔗 danneh_ under =Publishing the dump=, I'd probably just have two sections: Using uploader.py and Manual Scripts
15:51 🔗 danneh_ and in the uploader.py just mention the 'opensource' change, how it's all setup to work
15:51 🔗 danneh_ not sure how google code works, but I could even just try to go edit it myself otherwise
15:52 🔗 danneh_ more accustomed to GitHub to be honest, never messed much with SVN!
15:55 🔗 Nemo_bis danneh_: can you add a --help argument to uploader.py, to print instructions?
15:55 🔗 Nemo_bis if yes please create an issue https://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/issues/list and attach a patch, then I'll ask emijrp to add you to committers
15:56 🔗 Nemo_bis (+ page edit rights)
15:58 🔗 danneh_ Nemo_bis: sure, I should throw it up in the next day or two or so, once I wrap my brain 'round Google Code and all
15:59 🔗 danneh_ I also threw up an issue about the Shebang line, not sure what people would wanna do with it, but if we wanna make that change too, I can throw that in the patch as well: https://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/issues/detail?id=85
16:00 🔗 danneh_ lines*
16:00 🔗 danneh_ anyways, heading to bed. will look into all that tomorrow, after work most likely
16:01 🔗 danneh_ thanks for the help, Nemo!
17:12 🔗 EpsilonRe Hello
