MW 1.25 and page counter
by Frank Baxmann 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Hello, in 1.25 the page counter was removed. Does someone know some other solution for counting the page access in MW >= 1.25? I'm looking for an MW "internal" solution if possible, I don't want to add an external counter so the wiki pages. Greetings Frank

PHP Fatal error: Class 'FormatJson' not found
by Jim Hu 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

I'm migrating our wikis from 1.23 to 1.25. My test copy is on my laptop, so I can't provide a link (the production version is http://gowiki.tamu.edu). While debugging the various extensions we've built over the years, I started seeing this error in the apache logs (paths obfuscated): PHP Fatal error: Class 'FormatJson' not found in <path to extension file> on line 183 But FormatJson is not called directly anywhere in the extension, and line 183 is the end of the file. And class FormatJson should be pulled in by the autoloader, right? Any thoughts on what is going on and how I can fix it? Memcached is not running on my laptop and it's not set in my LocalSettings.php (yet). Thanks JIm ===================================== Jim Hu Professor Dept. of Biochemistry and Biophysics 2128 TAMU Texas A&M Univ. College Station, TX 77843-2128 979-862-4054

Email authentication still broken
by Chris Maloney 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Hi, I am having the exact same problem as Stefan, in his email from yesterday, "EmailAuthentication broken - token is NULL in user table" ( https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2015-June/044454.html). My wiki installation is public, here: http://jatswiki.org. Feel free to go there to see this problem for yourself, if you want. If you try to create a new account, everything seems to work fine, and the email is sent. But, when you click on it, the page comes back with "Invalid token". But, if you go to the preferences screen, and send another one, then that one (usually) works. > Looking at the database, i notice that the user_email_token, > user_email_token_expires and user_email_authenticated columns of the > user table are NULL for the newly registered users. I see the same thing, and I note that when I resend an email confirmation, I see what I guess are the expected results:: * user_email_authenticated stays NULL * user_email_token and user_email_token_expires get a good values I enabled the $wgDebugToolbar, and below is a full dump of what I creating the account, the page that says "A confirmation code was sent to your email address". Thanks for any help you can give on this! If there's some better place to ask for help with this problem, please let me know.

EmailAuthentication broken - token is NULL in user table
by Stefan Friese 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

Hello, i recently updated to Mediawiki 1.25. Now everything works fine, but EmailAuthentication is broken: When a new user creates an account, he receives his confirmation mail, but the confirmation link leads to an error telling the user the token is invalid or expired. Looking at the database, i notice that the user_email_token, user_email_token_expires and user_email_authenticated columns of the user table are NULL for the newly registered users. I set up a wgDebugLogFile in LocalSettings.php and saw the following suspicious lines in the log file when creating a new user: > [exception] [ad7904a2] /index.php?title=Spezial:Anmelden&action=submitlogin&type=signup&returnto=Spezial:E-Mail+best%C3%A4tigen/142336d3821c94adb52c80a82fb379c0 MWException from line 3658 of /homepages/26/d447883330/htdocs/wiki/includes/User.php: CAS update failed on user_touched for user ID '825'. > #0 /homepages/26/d447883330/htdocs/wiki/includes/User.php(4165): User->saveSettings() > #1 /homepages/26/d447883330/htdocs/wiki/includes/specials/SpecialUserlogin.php(409): User->sendConfirmationMail() > #2 /homepages/26/d447883330/htdocs/wiki/includes/specials/SpecialUserlogin.php(314): LoginForm->addNewAccount() > #3 /homepages/26/d447883330/htdocs/wiki/includes/specialpage/SpecialPage.php(384): LoginForm->execute(NULL) > #4 /homepages/26/d447883330/htdocs/wiki/includes/specialpage/SpecialPageFactory.php(582): SpecialPage->run(NULL) > #5 /homepages/26/d447883330/htdocs/wiki/includes/MediaWiki.php(267): SpecialPageFactory::executePath(Object(Title), Object(RequestContext)) > #6 /homepages/26/d447883330/htdocs/wiki/includes/MediaWiki.php(566): MediaWiki->performRequest() > #7 /homepages/26/d447883330/htdocs/wiki/includes/MediaWiki.php(414): MediaWiki->main() > #8 /homepages/26/d447883330/htdocs/wiki/index.php(41): MediaWiki->run() > #9 {main} > UserMailer::send: sending mail to Testuser3 <******(a)****.**> > Looks like the user is created, but the exception prohibits saving the token and expiry information (at least this is my guess). Can anyone help? Regards Stefan

Last 10 Update / New Pages
by Kevin Holleran 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

Good morning, I would like to have a section on my main page that lists the last 10 pages that have been created / updated. We use this as a knowledge base internally and I would like to show the newest items on login. Also, I would like to email this once a week to all accounts. Is this possible? Finally, since every page branches from a series of categories, is there a way to create a sitemap that would show a hierarchy of all pages and categories? Thank you. Kevin

"Mark as patrolled" links in 1.23 despite $wgUseRCPatrol = false;

I have an intranet wiki running 1.23 from tarball, upgraded from 1.19 (and previously from 1.15 and originally 1.13). $wgUseRCPatrol = false; is set because it's an intranet. But "[Mark as patrolled]" links are showing up. How do I switch these off? - d.

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Mediawiki portability

I was asked to find out how we can move Mediawiki to some other platform would work in case we have to That's sorta like getting married with a pre-nup agreement. For the rest of your married life, you'll be wondering... Don't waste too much time on it, and don't waste ANY post-decision effort on it! I've seen major software projects go down because of an unreasonable focus on contingency plans. You just can't plan for anything that might happen. Just get married. Having put energy into a pre-nup agreement will flavour the rest of your relationship... and then, some court may throw it out, anyway! For better or worse, in sickness and in health... I'd focus on showing how vast and competent the MediaWiki community is, rather than waste much time on portability. "Yea, you can get your data out" is all the answer you need. Then some poor schmuck will be stuck porting that data for the rest of the project's lifetime. :::: Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics. -- Albert Einstein :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op ::::
