Does $wgOpenSearchDefaultLimit work?
by Daniel Barrett 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Does the config variable $wgOpenSearchDefaultLimit have any effect in MediaWiki 1.26? I tried setting it in LocalSettings.php: $wgOpenSearchDefaultLimit = 20; but it had no effect on the API call made by the wiki search box, which still sends "limit=10": https://mywiki/w/api.php?action=opensearch&format=json&search=x&namespace=0… I also can't find any references to this variable in the MediaWiki 1.26.2 source code; however, the docs say that this variable is still in use: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgOpenSearchDefaultLimit Thanks, DanB

Re: [MediaWiki-l] How to dynamically fill a page with form entries?
by Jan Steinman 14 Feb '16

Yet another way is the extension PostForm. It will let you easily create an arbitrary form, which then can be emailed to you or written to a MySQL table. I don’t recommend using it without clipping a line that puts everything into a log file that is in the website space, and which can be found by search engines! It also has a bug that clips the return results if any multi-byte characters are entered. Another issue is spam. I have been working on a mod that puts a simple CAPTCHA challenge on it, but I don’t understand XSL well enough to plop it in easily. I had a bot attack, and was getting over 100 spams PER HOUR, and had to turn the page off. Now, it is only available via secret link that I send to people who need to fill in the form. :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op :::: > On 2016-02-13, at 04:00, mediawiki-l-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org wrote: > > From: Chris Tharp <tharpenator(a)gmail.com> > To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list > <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> > Subject: Re: [MediaWiki-l] How to dynamically fill a page with form > entries? > Message-ID: <A5355828-A501-49D6-B200-9B256D2C60EF(a)gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > Basically you can do that using the Semantic Forms extension &/or Semantic Mediawiki extension &/or Cargo Extension. You'll face a learning curve mastering Semantic Forms and one of the above extensions, but it can be done. Additionally you could use a Google Form embed from the Widgets extension and have the results go to an email that reports to a spreadsheet and than embed the spreadsheet (using the Widget extension again). The other possibility is using the NamespaceHTML extension and using a form company (like Jotform) to create the form & the report page (and embed them). > > Well that's three options and I'm sure others will have more. > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Feb 12, 2016, at 7:49 AM, lmarcini <lmarcini(a)klaksulku.com> wrote: >> >> Hello, >> >> On Dokuwiki 1.25.5, I need help for something I done with Dokuwiki >> before (with Bureaucracy and Pagemod plugins). >> >> It concerns a registration for a small conference/workshop and I want to >> have two pages : >> - a registration page: people enters name, location and e-mail into a form, >> - a participants list page: dynamically generated with the previously >> entered informations. >> >> I don't know how I can do that on Mediawiki ! :-( >> >> Thank you for your help. >> Laurent. >> >> _______________________________________________ >> MediaWiki-l mailing list >> To unsubscribe, go to: >> https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l > >

How to dynamically fill a page with form entries?
by lmarcini 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

Hello, On Dokuwiki 1.25.5, I need help for something I done with Dokuwiki before (with Bureaucracy and Pagemod plugins). It concerns a registration for a small conference/workshop and I want to have two pages : - a registration page: people enters name, location and e-mail into a form, - a participants list page: dynamically generated with the previously entered informations. I don't know how I can do that on Mediawiki ! :-( Thank you for your help. Laurent.

Make sure SemanticMediaWiki is loaded before the other Semantic items 2. What exact version of SemanticDrilldown do you have? What is around that line? The talk page for that extension indicates that a solution may be to ensure that $smwgNamespacesWithSemanticLinks is not being set to a non-array in your LocalSettings.php 3. Your LocalSettings.php attachment did not seem to make it to the list (or at least the digest).

I do see my changes when I export the pages but not when viewing them. For example, before, a page had this: |Type=Foo |Side=Right and I changed it to this: |Side Type=Right Foo But on the page I see this: Type Side With no data after the field names (whereas before the data was shown after each field name). I made those changes by pulling the raw data and writing it back with edit. Then I tried the export/import method, but when I tried to import the modified page, I got "No revisions imported (all were either already present, or skipped due to errors)." I did make changes, so there must have been errors. How could I see what those errors are? Also I changed the form from this: ! Type: | {{{field|Type}}} |- ! Side: | {{{field|Side}}} |- To this: ! Side Type: | {{{field|Side Type}}} |- But that is not reflected in the pages either. What am I missing here? Thanks! Larry > > This is also why SMW does not have a direct API to write data.

migration from release 1.24.1 to 1.26.2
by luc AUGARDE-Telem＠c 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

Hello, I translate my previous mail of yesterday in English... I had problems to migrate from release 1.24.1 to 1.26.2 I made a copy of Msql database from the earlier release I made also a copy of the 1.24.1 extensions directory not present in 1.26.2 package In LocalSettings.php I had to move the line enableSemantics ( 'gide-formation.culture.fr' ); farther in the file. Now, when I do php maintenance/update.php it gives the result : PHP Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /var/www/html/mediawiki-1.26.2/extensions/SemanticDrilldown/SemanticDrilldown.php on line 144 Here are the recapitulation of my current extensions (resulting from merge): AdminLinks Interwiki Poem SemanticResultFormats Cite LdapAuthentication README SpamBlacklist CiteThisPage Lingo Renameuser SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi ConfirmEdit LocalisationUpdate ReplaceText TitleBlacklist DataTransfer Maps SemanticDrilldown Validator ExternalData Nuke SemanticForms VisualEditor Gadgets PageSchemas SemanticFormsSelect WikiEditor HeaderTabs ParserFunctions SemanticGlossary ImageMap PDFEmbed SemanticMaps InputBox PdfHandler SemanticMediaWiki As attachment, my file LocalSettings.php wihtout passwords ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Merci de nous aider à préserver l'environnement en n'imprimant ce courriel et les documents joints que si nécessaire.

Help with SWM

I am a total newbie with SMW, and I've inherited a system that no one knows any details about. I have a few questions: How can I find out what and where the database behind the SMW is? I would think there is a config file somewhere, but I can't find it. When I look at a page with browsebysubject I see a type associated with the data, e.g.: {u'property': u'HasSide', u'dataitem': [{u'item': u'Left', u'type': 2}]} {u'property': u'HasReferenceDataset', u'dataitem': [{u'item': u'RefData, u'type': 9}]} What do these types mean? I have been asked to edit 1000's of pages to remove 2 fields and add a new field. To do this with the API would I get the data with browsebysubject and modify that dict? But then how would I write that back? Or would I get the raw data with index.php?action=raw, modify that, and then write it back with edit (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit) Thanks much! Larry
