User talk:Florianschmidtwelzow

Hi thank you for replying and helping me.

Im sorry I didn't understand... How exactly do I create 2 groups, 1 group can login and NOT edit any files. And another group who can login and EDIT files?

What commands exactly do I need to place in Localsettings.php to achieve that?

Thank you.

About GoogleLogin
Hi. There is a translation question for you on translatewiki:Thread:Support/About_MediaWiki:Googlelogin-form-merge-title/en about your GoogleLogin extension. Cheers /André Costa (WMSE) (talk) 10:14, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello André! Thanks for your info :) I don't have an account on translatewiki.net with edit rights (just created a new now), so i can't answer there, are you able to copy my answer there? :) -> Linking is much better as merging, yes. From the technical site the user has still an fully standalone wiki account, too. So only the ID's of the Google account and wiki account are linked together. Hope that helps, and thanks for translations! :) -- Thanks Andre, if this is possible :) --194.25.30.14 13:01, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Continous Redirect
Hi Florian,

I have setup wiki.soexcellence.com with Google Login. However, when we try to create a new account, it is going on a continuous loop.

I first get the login page in Google. Once authenticated, it asks for the name of the user. And provides three options. Whatever option is chosen it comes back to the same page again.

Thank you in advance.

 * Hi! I have tested it locally and it works. Is there no error message when you see the registration page again? I can not test, because the E-Maildomains are restricted :/ --Florianschmidtwelzow (talk) 18:09, 6 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi! I can create you an E-Mail in the soexcellence.com domain or remove the E-Maildomains restriction. No, there are no error messages. And also strangely it works on my machine. It does not work on any other machine. As in it redirects in every other machines (tested in Mac, Ubuntu, Windows - Firefox and Chrome). Once registered in my machine the other users are able to log in from their machine.
 * Hmm, so you can create accounts on your pc (with GoogleLogin), but not on other's? I think te easierr way is to allow the domain gmail.com just for testing. You can always delete all google id's from your database to restrict the access again. --Florianschmidtwelzow (talk) 18:41, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes. I can create accounts on my pc with GoogleLogin, but not ono other's. Just added the domain gmail.

This is the pastebin of my configuration, if it of any use.
 * Hmm, strange :/ I have tested your configuration locally and this works, too. Have you time for an IRC chat? You can find me at or  or, username "FlorianSW", just open a private chat :)

 * Öhm... a little late, but: Just for information (in case of someone find this discussion). The problem was tracked in and solved in . The problem can now be solved with a reload of the extension code. --Florianschmidtwelzow (talk) 21:23, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I note that you deleted this page, which was of course experimental. I would however have appreciated a short note on my talk page just saying why you had done so. Deltahedron (talk) 18:07, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello! Normally i don't inform, if i delete a test page. For test pages, please use the Sandbox. --Florianschmidtwelzow (talk) 05:22, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I was not asking what you did or did not do normally. I was suggesting that it would have been courteous to explain why you did it.  In this particular case, the page was indeed part of a test made at Talk:Sandbox, discussed here.  Deltahedron (talk) 06:45, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It would be really, really great, if you could note, that this is a test page for flow (e.g. with the link to this special test case) on the page, too. We (Jackmcbarn and me as one of several persons acting here) can not know, that this is a test for a feature in flow, so we delete this page. Nevertheless: I have unprotected the page now. But please made our work easier, by add a notice to test pages :) --Florianschmidtwelzow (talk) 07:02, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It was automagically created by flow there, not manually by Deltahedron, so that was something not to mention. I don't know what I wrote in there (I did so after you deleted it first time), as deleted is deleted and no longer viewable by me, so I can't say for sure if I gave some hint to the origin of that talk page. I don't know whether it's necessary to still have that page, as long as it's remnants and deletion history exist, it should be enough for the sandboxing, methinks. --Sänger S.G (talk) 11:44, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * You wrote, that this is the sandbox, and that's why this page should be stay there :) But the page itself wasn't in the sandbox, and there was no relation to the flow testing. That's why the normal reaction is to delete this page and give a hint to our "real" Sandbox. posted some individual text (I wonder what happens if I type in here?), so i think it would be possible to insert a link to the flow thread next time, so we know, why you (or flow) created this page as a test :) In the next step it would be great, if you can add (if you end the test) an SLA to these pages, so we know, we can delete them :) --Florianschmidtwelzow (talk) 11:50, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Taking a look at the bug in question, I don't think actually creating the page was necessary to test it, but I've restored it nonetheless. Jackmcbarn (talk) 11:58, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, much appreciated. Deltahedron (talk) 16:40, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

 * You've removed here a link to external software that can be useful for many wiki administrators. Many of your possible questions can be solved in the software project documentation and dedicated support forums. --Actiuinformatica (talk) 15:43, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello :) Maybe it can be useful for some wiki administrators :) Feel free to add the link to Manual:Combating_spam. --Florianschmidtwelzow (talk) 18:37, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Please move back
Please move my question back, I already have it at the extension page. Thank you  Mlpearc  ( open channel ) 21:22, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello! Thanks for the link to the thread :P No, please give a link to the thraed you refer to, this makes it much easier for me to understand what you mean :) I have deleted the second therad now. --Florianschmidtwelzow (talk) 21:24, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * It's not ancient history, you just did it.  Mlpearc  ( open channel ) 21:26, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Can you please explain why you moved it ? I have not received an answer at the extension page, so I posted it a the help desk for more to see.  Mlpearc  ( open channel ) 21:30, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Normally the users, who can help with problems related to an extension, are watching the extension talk page. So there is no need to post the question twice and (maybe) start two different discussions where no one knows, what was discussed where :) --Florianschmidtwelzow (talk) 10:00, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
