Hello ,
From last week or so , the website : https://www.lfsmanual.net is down for maintenance , is it gonna take a while ?
That is the message from the website : "The LFS Manual is currently in maintenance mode. Please come back later."

Quote from Victor :

Whoops I forgot to remove that message. The manual does work again but logins are still disabled for now.

Thank you!

Quote from Victor :

I had to upgrade PHP and Mediawiki and they changed their whole 3rd party authentication system. I still have to re-implement logging in with your LFS account.

Those upgrades you did were probably the cause of fixing the old(er) image sizing issue on the Manual (reported here: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/92435)! Thanks! Also, seems like I'm still logged in on the Manual, probably from an earlier session, as I don't usually log out. Is it safe to edit, or should I wait until you reimplement LFS account login?

(sorry for doublepost)

If I may, one more question to Victor about the manual: like 3-4 years ago I mailed you about installing an extension to MediaWiki, to be able to use the {{#if:}} and other parser functions in Templates. You did it and it worked perfectly, I built some templates using it ( https://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Template:League_infobox#Example ). After the recent upgrades it seems like the "ParserFunctions" extension ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions ) is no longer available and the template is now broken. Could you please install the extension again?

Aha I will have a look when I have some time again.

And yes if you're logged in still then that's fine. If I understand correctly, people do have accounts on the wiki (beit without a password) and sessions are maintained on the wiki itself. It's only the login authentication part that needs updating, so the wiki can check logins. So edits should work fine if you're still logged in.

Hello Victor. Is difficult to make oauth to lfsworld and lfsmanual through lfs.net?

Funny that you mention that - I've created a first (3rd party) authentication mechanism with Oauth2 a week ago.
It's being tested by the Sim Broadcasting guys atm and I will publish it to the public in a few weeks or early 2021 probably. It needs more work, but a plan for long term usage is forming in my head, so we can do more with that in the future.

I'm curious what kind of functionality you have in mind?

it's like: you authorize only on lfs.net, in other sites you only give permission to use your data scopes from lfs.net

sometimes im bored to input my user/pass on lfs.net and lfsworld.net and lfsmanual.net

If possible, could we have this enabled/installed again in the near future please? The problem is, quite a few pages look broken, as a few templates (infoboxes, link formatting templates etc.) use the {{if}} function, for example. Attached a montage of examples on how they look on the article pages.

Ah right, it's included in MediaWiki, but i hadn't activated it in the config. Think it's ok now - at least, Rony's page looks fine.

Yes, everything is working now and back to normal. Thank you!

Loggin in doesn't work yet. I haven't logged in to lfsmanual before.

I wanted to update the InSim documentation file for 0.6V, but I found that i still can't login to lfsmanual wiki. Any news on the re-implementation of the login system @Victor?

Hi! I'm working on our Oauth2 identity service, which will make it possible to implement single sign-on functionality for the wiki. I hope to finalise this in the coming weeks, so if all goes well the login should work again in April.

Can some of you guys please try the new SSO (Single Sign On) login function on the English manual?

https://en.lfsmanual.net/

It currently only works on the English wiki. If this seems good I'll make it work for all languages.

Once I've done that I can add a page about the Oauth2 SSO feature and mini LFS API I've created for this. Then anyone can implement SSO on their site or app for LFS users

Pressed "login with your lfs account" on the wiki. Got redirected to a page explaining that LFS Manual is requesting permission for certain things. After clicking the blue button I got redirected to the LFS Manual logged in with my LFS username.

Yes, the OAuth redirect works perfectly!

Excellent!

I've enabled SSO for all the languages and the upload domain now too.
