Hello all,
sorry if this is a noobish question, but I get strange problems when trying to upload a
newly generated image from within an extension. It's seems the title of the calling
page gets corrupted getting the name of the uploaded file), and sometimes the resulting
image, despite being called File:XXX, end up in the main namespace. At times there are
also a lot of UNIQ/QINU-strings in the page. These problems seem to appear both when doing
the upload from the job queue, and when uploading at once. I am, by the way, not using any
globals like $wgOut.> > This is the actual upload lines (it inside an Semantic
MediaWiki Result Printer class, but I've had the same problems when trying it in an
ordinary MediaWiki parser function):
$ulUser= User::newFromName($myUserName);
$mUpload = new UploadFromUrl(); $mUpload->initializePathInfo (
$filename, $tempdir, false );
$status = $mUpload->getLocalFile()->upload( $tempdir . '/' . $filename,
$tempdir, $description, 0, false, false, $ulUser );
if ( $status->isGood() ) { unlink($tempdir . '/' . $filename); return true; }
else { ... }
I'm not a programmer, so the code is probably quite ugly. I'm not even sure this
is the proper way to do a file upload, but it's the only way I found working. Any
help would be greatly appreciated (e.g. examples of extensions doing file uploads, making
it work)!

This type of issue (lots of UNIQ_....'s in output) is usually caused
by calling $wgParser->parse() method when already parsing stuff. In
this case you're probably already parsing stuff because its being
executed from an smw printer (I'm not familar with SMW, but i assume
that's called from some parser hook or something). I would guess (but
haven't checked) that the upload method calls $wgParser->parse
somewhere along the line, probably when its creating the image
description page. The babel extension had a very similar issue with
auto-creating categories. See the BabelAutoCreate.class.php file in
the Babel extension.
