Re: [MediaWiki-l] no thumbnails after uploading an image

Just went through something similar, but I did see thumbs on the File page in my case — just not where I was using them! In my case, I had uploaded a bunch of arbitrary files, keeping their file names. Then I typed in the names to use via <randomimage> and <gallery>. It turns out that half the images were named with “.jpg” and the others were named with “.JPG”, and I use a case-sensitive file system! I had referred to them all as “.jpg”, which caused the upper-case ones to be invisible. So this particular gotcha might not apply to you. You could try appending “?action=purge” to the URL, which *should* cause the thumbs to be re-generated. I think. You can also go to your thumbs directory via your file system, and see if the thumbs are indeed there. They will be in “YourWikiRoot/images/thumbs”. Check the permissions on this directory to make sure thumbs can be read by your web server. :::: We don't have an energy crisis; we have a consumption crisis. -- Ozzie Zehner <http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=Ozzie+Zehner> :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op <http://www.ecoreality.org/> ::::

Installation Issue MW 1.27.0
by Rowe, Dolores A 29 Jul '16

Help Teammates. I installed a fresh, brand new mediawiki 1.27.0, and I let the software generate a default LocalSettings.php and everything, so I don't see how I could have messed anything up (got all the success messages.) Here is the error it is throwing in the browser. Can you advise how I can find out what's causing it ? The error is: Exception encountered, of type "InvalidArgumentException". No PHP errors or MySQL errors in those logs. W2K8 MW 1.27.0 MySQL 5.5.50 PHP 5.5.34 tx, L

Specific search page
by Ad Strack van Schijndel 25 Jul '16

Hi, It seems that a search always leads to Special:Search, no matter what. That has to do with the search parameter in the url. Is there an elegant way to make a search request go to another search page? Thanks! Ad

Vektor Skin
by Twerp Number Nine 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

Hey there is the Vektor skin still maintained? I did an update on the 1.26 branch today and was surprised to see that the Vektor skin did not work with it ... that broke the style of my page. Therefore I am a bit curious whether it is still maintained. The MW-Wiki entry looks a bit abandoned. persistente anomie

[ED] Values split if non-ASCII
by christian.ludt＠isceco.admin.ch 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Dear all, a colleague of mine described the following issue at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:External_Data#Problems_with_s… and I was able to find the root cause. When retrieving XML (did not check other formats), and the actual value is non-ASCII, the XML parser calls the data handler for each piece (see https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.xml-set-character-data-handler.php). So, let's assume the value is "grün" or "journée", the data handler is called twice for each of these values (1. "gr", 2. "ün", or 1. "journ", 2. "ée", resp.). The data handler in get_web_data for XML is ED_Utils::getContent<https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-ExternalData/blob/master/…>. The current implementation of getContent adds a new element to the $edgXMLValues[$edgCurrentXMLTag] array every time it is called. So, it creates new elements for each piece. My understanding is that only multi values should end up in different buckets: <colors> <color>blau</color> <color>grün</color> <color>rot</color> </colors> should end up as $edgXMLValues['color'][0] = 'blau' $edgXMLValues['color'][1] = 'grün' $edgXMLValues['color'][2] = 'rot' and <greetings> <greeting>Bonne journée</greeting> <greeting>Bonne soirée</greeting> </greetings> should end up as $edgXMLValues['greeting'][0] = 'Bonne journée' $edgXMLValues['greeting'][1] = 'Bonne soirée' However, the current implementation returns: $edgXMLValues['color'][0] = 'blau' $edgXMLValues['color'][1] = 'gr' $edgXMLValues['color'][2] = 'ün' $edgXMLValues['color'][3] = 'rot' $edgXMLValues['greeting'][0] = 'Bonne journ' $edgXMLValues['greeting'][1] = 'ée' $edgXMLValues['greeting'][2] = 'Bonne soir' $edgXMLValues['greeting'][3] = 'ée' IMHO, getContent should check whether it is called for the very same XML element and then, append the content to the last element's value. Best regards Christian
