Help in modifying Template:Extension to support user ratings
by Aditya Chaturvedi 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

Hello everyone, I am happy to announce that as a part of the GSOC project we have succeeded in developing a platform to allow user's to rate different extensions of mediawiki on Wikiapiary <https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Main_Page> and syndicating them back to MediaWiki. <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki> Now people can rate different extensions on WikiApiary (which maintain a catalogue for extensions of mediawiki) and the total ratings will show up on Mediawiki.org. You can look the rating system in action here: https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit and the syndication (done for only few pages ) here: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:ConfirmEdit&diff=prev… However, to run the system in production first, we need assistance on how to make these ratings visible on the pages of extension. For this I need help from the community to know the best way of doing so. I have started a discussion on the Talk page for Extension template. Please join in. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Template_talk:Extension/Modifying_the… <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template_talk:Extension> Also, please visit WikiApiary <https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Extension:Extensions> and start rating extensions as per your best knowledge and help us gather data. Thanks. Regards, Aditya.

>Why can't you install it via the web installer? > >Can you post what the script path setting is in your local settings file? It was originally: $wgScriptPath = "wiki"; But with more awake eyes, I changed it to "/Exec/wiki" and it did the trick! Thanks. Greg

error with runJobs.php
by John Foster 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

I'm getting this error when I manually run; 'php runJobs.php' on my site PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function insertBefore() on a non-object in /var/www/extensions/ImageMap/ImageMap_body.php on line 274 I have run a quick web search for this error but turned up nada. Just wondering if anyone could shed a bit of wisdom on this. I've upgraded Extension:ImageMap to the current stable with no different effects. I also took a look at the offending line, but I'm no php guru. Any tips appreciated. john

Help with rebuildFileCache.php maintenance script
by Rowe, Dolores A 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

Dear Wiki Experts, One of my version 1.22.8 wiki's breaks the rebuildFileCache.php script. Here is a backtrace that it gave me. Can you help ? Do you know what this means ? [10642267] [no req] I wonder if that long number and the words *no req* should be a clue ?? Any other ideas of how I can figure out what's up ? I did use the script successfully on another version 1.22.8 wiki. I:\wwwroot-basp\rotorwiki\maintenance>I:\php\php rebuildFileCache.php Building content page file cache from page 0! Page 1 already cached [10642267] [no req] Exception from line 532 of I:\wwwroot-basp\rotorwiki\includes\Article.php: Backtrace: #0 I:\wwwroot-basp\rotorwiki\maintenance\rebuildFileCache.php(133): Article->view() #1 I:\wwwroot-basp\rotorwiki\maintenance\doMaintenance.php(113): RebuildFileCache->execute() #2 I:\wwwroot-basp\rotorwiki\maintenance\rebuildFileCache.php(163): require_once(string) #3 {main} Thanks, Lori

Redundancy with Multiple Free Web Hosts
by alteil analysis 12 Aug '14

Redundancy with Multiple Free Web Hosts How to set up redundant databases for mediawiki on R1, R2, L1 and L2? So far, I found following free database online: -------------- Free Databases -------------- [R1] Allows Remote access; ocassional down time; unlikely to lose data allows cron jobs. [R2] Allows Remote access; ocassional down time; likely to lose data no cron jobs. [L1] No remote access; ocassional down time; unlikely to lose data. No cron jobs. [L2] No remote access; ocassional down time; unlikely to lose data. no cron job. 10Mb database. [L3] No remote access; very likely to force payment. allow cron jobs. [A2] Allow remote access; 5Mb; slow. ----------------------------- And free servers for scripts: ----------------------------- [Heroku] Allow remote access; 10k rows, only 15 concurrent connection; slow Can it do cron jobs? [openshift] free python hosting. ------------ Current Idea ------------ R1 and R2 can be master/slave databases. But then, what to do when R2 loses all data? Can I setup multi-master on L1, with R1 also as a master? And do the same for L2? Another thing is R1 and L1 can use postgres while R2 and L2 must be mySQL. Can I mix the different kinds of database? R2 can only install mediawiki 1.16. Can I mix different versions of mediawiki? Or, let the hamsters push the wheel? Like, everytime when a user click a link on L1, the wiki would have 1/10 of chance to compare its page with master's page, if a local table says that has not been done in 15 minutes? ---------------------- Possibly Related Posts ---------------------- 1. Export entire wiki as xml, and then import it to another wiki. Possibly with pywikipediabot. Can this work on database without remote access / cron job? [ http://wikimedia.7.x6.nabble.com/site-mirror-and-master-slave-question-td49… ] 2. No automatic failover [ http://wikimedia.7.x6.nabble.com/Database-redundancy-tt747314.html#a747317] 3. Multi-master setup eat people alive [ http://wikimedia.7.x6.nabble.com/How-Do-You-Deal-With-MySQL-Replication-tt6… ] 4. Distributed Semantic Mediawiki The push/pull feed seems not automatic.

Semantic MediaWiki 2.0 released!
by Jeroen De Dauw 11 Aug '14

11 Aug '14

Hello everyone, We are happy to announce the immediate availability of the first stable release in the Semantic MediaWiki 2.0.x series. Semantic MediaWiki 2.0 is a big release that adds several new features, many enhancements, and addresses numerous issues. ## Compatibility changes ## Semantic MediaWiki 2.0 is compatible with MediaWiki 1.19 up to MediaWiki 1.23, and possibly later versions. Support for both MediaWiki 1.23 and MediaWiki 1.24 was improved compared to SMW 1.9. PHP compatibility remains the same as in SMW 1.9: all versions from PHP 5.3.2 to PHP 5.6.x. For a full overview, see our compatibility matrix [0]. ## Quality and stability improvements ## A great deal of effort has been put into ensuring both existing and new features work well. Not just at present, but also in future releases. And not just with MySQL and one version of MediaWiki, but on all platforms we support. This dedication to quality has resulted in many bugs being discovered and fixed, and makes future regressions much less likely. Continuous integration is now an integral part of the development process behind SMW. As of the 2.0 release, SMW has over 2300 automated tests, which cover two thirds of the codebase. These tests are run automatically for every change made to the code, on machines with different databases, different versions of PHP, different SPARQL stores and different versions of MediaWiki. ## Semantic Versioning ## As of the 2.0 release, Semantic MediaWiki adheres to the Semantic Versioning standard [1]. This makes our version numbers more meaningful and makes it easier for administrators to determine if a new release is relevant to them. ## Improved SPARQLStore support ## Semantic MediaWiki 1.6 introduced support for data synchronization with RDF back-ends. SMW 2.0 makes this functionality a first class citizen through many enhancements and stability improvements. * New and full support for Jena Fuseki 1.0 * Enhanced and full support for Virtuoso 6.1 * Enhanced support for 4store 1.1 ## Improved subobject support ## Support for subobjects has been added to the RDF export. This new capability is used by the RDF store functionality to also synchronize subobjects. (#344) Subobjects now support sorting via the `@sortkey` annotation that stores an individual sortkey per subobject. (#225) ## Notable bug fixes ## * #279 Fixed undefined index in `DataTypeRegistry::getDefaultDataItemTypeId` * #282 Output a message instead of an exception in `Special:WantedProperties` for unknown predefined properties * #308 Fixed caching issue in `DataRebuilder` for duplicate title objects * #312 Fixed fatal error in `CategoryResultPrinter` for when a mainlabel is hidden * #322 Fixed file names containing spaces or non-ASCII characters for downloadable result formats (csv, excel) * #379 Modernized `dumpRDF.php` while deprecating the use of `SMW_dumpRDF.php` (bug 35679) * #425 Deprecated `SMW_setup.php` in favour of `setupStore.php` * #444 Fixed language namespace alias issue * #420 Extended `ContentParser` to mitigate issues caused by the 62856 bug in MW 1.24+ * #405 Added a compatibility fix to mitigate issues caused by the `RefreshLinksJob` in MW 1.23+ SPARQLStore: * #291 Fixed call to undefined method in `SPARQLStore` * #338 Fixed exception in `ResultParser` for an invalid datatype (bug 62218) * #385 Fixed '#' encoding for subobjects in `SMWExporter::findDataItemForExpElement` to enable `SPARQLStore` result display * #387 Fixed `SPARQLStore` namespace query support (e.g `[[:+]]` ) * #415 Fixed `SPARQLStore` usage for `rebuildConceptCache.php` and `rebuildPropertyStatistics.php` * #460 Fixed `SPARQLStore` subobject sub query and pre-defined property query support This list can also be viewed at [2]. The installation procedure [3] has not changed since 1.9.0. To upgrade, you will need to get the new version of SMW, run MediaWikis update.php, and run SMWs refresh data script [4]. - The SMW development team [0] https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/blob/master/docs/COM… [1] http://semver.org/ [2] https://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMW_2.0 [3] https://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Installation [4] https://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Installation#Upgrading

Can an extension automatically add wiki pages
by Sigbert Klinke 11 Aug '14

11 Aug '14

Hi, for my extension I also deliver some test pages. Currently I'am exporting the test pages into a XML file and the wiki adminstrator could import them with importDump.php. Is there a way that the extension automatically integrates some pages into the wiki (of course into my own namespace)? Thanks in advance Sigbert
