It sounds like you might be using CSS in your SVG. If not please disregard the rest of my post.
While CSS is in general a great idea, and has certainly made my life a lot easier, it turns out ImageMagick doesn't support CSS in SVG. As far as I can tell they haven't said anything about supporting it any time soon, either.
My solution is to use Inkscape instead of ImageMagick. In a shell I convert SVGs with: $ inkscape -f input.svg -e output.png (from http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22607)
From the link Sigbert provided, it looks like you should be able to
easily tell MW to use Inkscape, which in my experience converts SVGs quite well. I haven't used rsvg or Batik, but WikiMedia seems to think highly of them.
If this doesn't work for you or is too difficult to implement, a workaround is to simply not use CSS in your SVG. This leaves a bad taste in my mouth as I am so fond of using CSS, but is sometimes necessary.
Cheers, -Dave

Hi, according to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_administration#SVG you might need to change the rendering software.

Hi guys,
I'd like to build a staff directory using Semantic MediaWiki and smw forms. Just wondering if you tackled such a thing and might be able to share. Or, do you know where to find an example since my Google-fu is failing me.

Cheers Greg,
We here at Vistaprint have very little experience with SMW/SMW forms. I personally experimented with it at my last job[1] but haven't used it in years. Our staff directory consists of a home-rolled extension that uses locally cached information from ActiveDirectory (via LDAP.) I also didn't find much via Google on implementing a personnel-directory with SMW...I don't think there is much out there. It sounds very plausible and I encourage you to try SMW, I've heard great things about it.
You might want to have a look at the WikiData project, too.[2] It provides a centralized place for structured data - it solves a different problem than SMW, though. [3]
Best wishes, --Daniel

Wikipedia.de asked me to send my request to you.
I use often Wikipedia with 3-4 Languages (F, GB, De, Es).
If I want to switch language, it takes some time to find one of these 4 in the long list of languages on the left side.
It would be nice to be able to define 4 languages as favorite and show these always at the top of the list (like in word).
Is this possible now ? Is this a possible improvement ?

Hi,
We are thinking about using Extension:Translate. How do you CYA for inaccurate translations, esp when it comes to translating pages that outline wiki policies and rules?
I was thinking of requiring a disclaimer for all translated pages that says (translated, of course) something like:
Note: this page has been translated from the English version of this page. The English version should be considered the authoritative version in any case of conflict between this translation and the original English version.
Is this a reasonable idea or are there already an extension feature or process in place that does the same thing?
Thanks, Al

Hi,
I think the problem is a CSS problem. In the mediawiki theme is a rule "body ..." which simply supersedes the jquery theme rule. However, this can be solved by editing my custom jquery theme CSS.

Hi,
thanks a lot for your help/present. It took me some time but I got it working following your suggestion using mw.hook( 'wikipage.content' ) .
However, the next problem arises: Since in MediaWikis default theme the slider is not well visible (at least for my old eyes), so I decided to use the sunny theme of jquery. Everything works well but at some time I have to open a dialog box. The fonts, colors etc. are okay, but the background images in the dialog are always taken from the mediawiki theme and not from the sunny theme. Which means for the dialog box title that the font color is white on a nearly white background image :(
Even when I follow the suggestion of http://filamentgroup.com/lab/using_multiple_jquery_ui_themes_on_a_single_pag...
and add via javascript for each div, span and button element in the
dialog the class "sunny" explicitly (that is how I named the class for my custom theme) the background images are taken from the mediawiki theme.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks a lot

Hi Sigbert,
Depending on the complexity of the javascript involved, I'd recommend one of these two approaches.
== More future proof, scalable ==
Put the ` $( '#slider' ).slider() ` code in a separate javascript file (e.g. extensions/Rslider/modules/ext.rslider.js), register that as a ResourceLoader module[1] named 'ext.rslider', with dependency on 'jquery.ui.slider'.
Then from your parser tag callback, don't add the <script> and
<div>. Instead you'd add only the <div>, and then call `addModules( 'ext.rslider' ); `. [2]
Since it is now in a separate file, be sure to hook into $(document).ready instead of directly querying ` $( '.mw-Rslider-tag' ) ` as the element might not exist yet. Or better yet, use mw.hook( 'wikipage.content' ) [3] instead of $(document).ready [4], that way your tag will also work in live preview and other environments that reload wikipage content without a complete document refresh.
You'd end up with (pseudo-code):
Rslider.php: modules['ext.rslider'] => { scripts: 'modules/ext.rslider.js' dependencies: 'jquery.ui.slider' localBasePath: ___DIR__ remoteExtPath: 'Rslider' }
modules/ext.rslider.js: mw.hook( 'wikipage.content', function ( $content ) { $content.find( '.mw-Rslider-tag' ).slider(); } );
Rslider.hooks.php#onParserHookRslider: $parserOutput->addModules( 'ext.rslider' ); return '<div class="mw-rslider-tag"></div>';
== Simple way == If you're absolute sure that there will only ever be 1 instance of <Rslider> on the page, then you could go with the inline <script> approach without having any ResourceLoader modules, however in that case keep the following three things mind (one of these is why your code didn't work):
- Put the <script> tag after the <div> not before. Otherwise the
element will not yet exist when $() tries to query it.
- The mw.loader.using() statement you have is correct, don't
remove it as you'll need it. jquery.ui might happen to be on the page already, but this is by no means a guarantee (it'd be pure luck, depending on whether some other extension requests it, it is not loaded by default). mw.loader takes care[5] never to request the same module twice, so don't worry about using it twice.
- Wrap your inline <script> contents in ` if ( window.mw ) { ..
}` so that there won't be a fatal javascript exception on the page if MediaWiki's startup module decides to serve the user a lightweight page without mediawiki and jquery modules (e.g. for older browsers).
You'd end up with:
Rslider.hooks.php#onParserHookRslider: $html = '<div class="mw-rslider-tag"></div>'; // This creates
<script>if(window.mw){ ... }</script> and automatically escapes
any html // or xml characters inside the script if needed for this page. $html .= Html::inlineScript( ResourceLoader::makeLoaderConditionalScript( 'mw.loader.using( 'jquery.ui.slider', function () { $('.mw-rslider-tag').slider(); });' ));
return $html;

Hi,
in my extension I would like to use the slider from jquery.ui . Therefore I created a tag <Rslider /> to show the slider. It translate in a wiki page to
<script>mw.loader.using( 'jquery.ui.slider', function() { $( "#slider" ).slider(); });</script><div id="slider"></div>
As I understand I do not need to use ResourceLoader at all since I want to use just a standard element of jquery.ui .
However, the slider does not show up which means I'am doing something wrong :(
Thanks for any help
