[11:13:59] <yuker>	 I am having a weird problem with 2 Mediawikis that they do not obey $wgReadOnly having been set. Vulpix suggested things to check and it was none of those and finally he said to try a syntax error to see if the right LocalSetting.php is being read at all and I tried it and intentionally causing a php syntax error makes the wiki go broken and display a blank page
[11:14:41] <yuker>	 Special:Version should display the lock message, right? or has that been changed?
[11:26:18] <bawolff>	 I don't think Special:Version would display the lock message
[11:26:26] <bawolff>	 I would assume you would get it when you try to save a page
[11:28:25] <bawolff>	 It should be noted that $wgReadOnly does not prevent all database writes, only edits. some other database updates are still possible.
[12:26:07] <yuker>	 Special:Version has consistently over the years presented a lock message whenever $wgReadOnly was set
[15:44:24] <jfolv>	 Is there any special consideration you need to take when using the MultimediaViewer extension on a wiki utilizing a foreign file repo?
[15:44:44] <jfolv>	 I tried installing it, but every image gave me an error when I tried to view them.
[15:45:30] <jfolv>	 (Not every image on the wiki, mind you, just the ones I tried to open with the viewer. My images display fine normally, but the extension doesn't seem to want to load the remote files)
