Extension talk:Semantic Extra Special Properties

Previous page history was archived for backup purposes at Extension talk:Semantic Extra Special Properties/LQT Archive 1 on 2015-07-10.

Either update to SMW 3.0.0 or use cron to rebuild data for user pages on a regular basis or just refresh the respective user page after assigning a new user group.

The SESP parameter "_USERGROUP" which adds a property to user pages with the users assigned groups .. works well for built-in mw groups, however, I can not seem to get it to work for custom groups. For example, I add:

$wgGroupPermissions['team-A']['read'] = true;

to my LocalSettings.php and the group exists in the Modify User Rights spacial page

I add the user to the group "team-A" and that works well.

SESP however does not pick up on this.

Am I missing a step?

Can someone confirm this.

@Hexmode, any ideas?

Works for me. You did refresh the semantic data of the respective user's page?

yes. i had to do that to get the custom groups to show in SESP.. but it seems that it's not tracking the updates even after I make sure the job queue is clear

For the jobs to roll in you need at least SMW 3.0.0. Until then you can rebuild the data for the user pages on a regular basis via cron.

See the issue on GitHub

How hard would it be to get a CDATE magic word from SESP that provides the page creation date similar to the CUSER magic word that provides the User who created the page.

I believe that I pointed you to the correct spot. In the future I will ignore any post that is being duplicated in one way or the other.

I've been attempting to write an #ask query that excludes the current page from the result set. I found it discussed here: http://smw.referata.com/wiki/Excluding_a_page_from_an_inline_query

I enabled the _REVID extra special property, ran the maintenance task SMW_refreshData.php, and waited for it to finish.

My query is very simple, but doesn't exclude the current page:

{{#ask: [[Category:MyCategory]] [[Revision ID::!{{REVISIONID}}]]
|format=ul
}}

When I embed {{REVISIONID}} in the page, I get the correct revision number: 22586

When I view Browse Properties, I get a completely different number: 1136

Not sure what to try next.

See github.com#10#issuecomment-35146704.

I seem to be experiencing this as well. Is there an explanation to this problem? @MWJames, are you saying there is solution to this issue? I read the github link you provided, but I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be learning from the comment that applies to this issue. Can you clarify, please?

Installing manually without Composer is not possible. A individual file release is a way out.

Hi,

I've tried to install this extension without Composer by adding the following line to LocalSettings.php:

require_once("$IP/extensions/SemanticExtraSpecialProperties/SemanticExtraSpecialProperties.php");

However, I get a white screen with the following error message. Could this be a problem with the extension loader? Any pointers welcome.

TIA

Frank

That's not possible. You imperatively have to use Composer.

Many thanks for the quick reply and this information!

You could do something like an individual file release on a laptop or so which has Composer and move over the files to your webspace.

Can someone guide me through an installation of this extension without a lot of geek speak?

I don't have a week to learn all of that just to use this extension.

I have installed Composer via the Windows exe file, directed at my PHP.exe inside the XAMPP installation I am running MediaWiki on.

I have a JSON file inside the MediaWiki folder that has two requires in it. SESP 1.5 and SBL 1.4.

However when I run Composer Update, it blithely ignores the composer.json file. Tells me I don't have some global composer.json in my Roaming directory.

Then proceeds to spit out something about GIT, and start downloading all of the random stuff that is already inside my Vendor folder.

It runs for hours on end and doesn't get anything at all that mentions those two extensions.

Can someone please either package up the extension/vendor files I need for this so I can just drop them into my MW installation folder? Or come up with a simpler guide to using Composer that cuts out all the crap I DON'T need.

Hi.

I'm running SMW 1.8.0.5 on SMW 1.21.2. My SESP version is 0.2.8. I'm getting errors when saving pages using a Semantic Form (v2.6). It does not happen everytime, but I cannot see a pattern. However, it is happening a lot.

Initialisation value is not a number.

Is there a way to suppress a Factbox if it only contains Extra Special Properties?

I enabled this extension and am using it to capture _CUSER. I wanted to enable Factboxes on all my pages that store an SMW property:

$smwgShowFactbox = SMW_FACTBOX_NONEMPTY;

When using ExtraSpecialProperties, all my pages now store a property. Even so, the factbox rendered in the footer of the pages isn't including the _CUSER property.

If I click on the magnifying glass link to go to the Special:Browse page, I can see the properties.

Looking at my "SMW\UpdateJob" I see this warning pop up all the time:

Strict Standards: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback,
non-static method SemanticESP::sespUpdateDataBefore() should not be called statically in
/srv/www/mwcode/includes/Hooks.php on line 199

Could this be avoided?

How can I add a property that points to a sub page? THanks, P.

What have you tried? The pages need to be in a namespace that actually have subpages turned on in LocalSettings.php, can that be the problem?

I have been trying various methods to no avail. I have tried:

• VIEWS {{#ask: Page Name | ?_VIEWS}}
• NREV {{#show: Page Name | ?_NREV}}
• VIEWS {{#ask: Page Name | ?VIEWS}}
• NREV {{#show: Page Name | ?NREV}}

Is this correct? If so I must have some configuration issue.

Thanks, Pete.

I am still not able to get the special properties to work. The system is blocking the use of those properties but they are not being populated by the show command. Any help?

Thanks, Pete.

The names on the special properties will vary depending on what language you use. For instance, the number of views will be held by a property called Number of page views in English, Anzahl der Seitenaufrufe in German or Antal sidvisningar in Swedish. You can visit any page in your wiki and click “browse” in the toolbox to see available properties for that page. Hope that helps!

That is exactly what I needed. Thanks! :)
