Hello, As you are likely aware, Google is shutting down their Google Code service in January of 2016. This extension appears to house its code with Google Code and is at risk to creating broken links and confusion of users in the near future.

I’m helping to let folks know about this coming update and provide some helpful links to make this migration easy. I hope you’ll take a moment and migrate your extension to a new hosting solution.

For extensions that have a compatible license, you can request developer access to the MediaWiki source repositories for extensions and get a new repository created for you. Alternatively, you may also export your code to other popular repositories such as Github and Bitbucket. Google has provided tools to help with this migration.

For the record: I have just moved the code over from Google to GitHub to preserve it an have a smooth migration process. However, this extension is still unmaintained, so who ever wants to pick up this task is very welcome to do so.

Hi, When I try to install this extension, my wiki turns blank when I go to “Special:SemanticSocialProfile”. I have SocialProfile, Semantic MediaWiki (without shell access), Semantic Forms and ParserFunctions installed, and they all appear in "Special:Version" before I install SemanticSocialProfile. Does anyone has the same problem and finds a solution ? Thanks Fred

Have you checked in your Apache/nginx error log, if you have access to it? There's most likely a related error message in the log that may help you (or us) find a fix for your wiki.

I'm experiencing the same issue and no there error message reported in apache log. I am running MediaWiki version 1.22.2 if that helps.

This was resolved by commenting out line 7 that called wfLoadExtensionMessages() from SemanticSocialProfile\SemanticSocialProfile_body.php

Heiya Yury,

I have prepared the German translation. Your provided no comprehensive description for this extension, so I have added one. Just drop me a note in case you change or add some messages.

$messages['de'] = array(
    'ssp' => 'Semantic Social Profile',
    'ssp-desc' => "Ergänzt die Erweiterung SocialProfile um die Möglichkeit semantischer Annotationen von Benutzerdaten und vereinfacht deren Weiternutzung",

Hello Yury and Dmitry,

After installing Semantic Social Profile on PortlandWiki.org, one of our admins pointed out that potentially sensitive data is exposed on some user profiles.

What is the procedure to un-expose some of the more sensitive data user data -- like email addresses, full names, social security numbers (just kidding about the ssn), etc -- that this extension exposes apart from removing the extension or manually reverting each of the changes made to each user's profile?

By the way, I think Semantic Social Profile has a lot of potential and hope you continue its development! :-)

Kind regards,

Sorry there is no uninstallation procedure now. Try this extension and remove all the invocation of our template with regular expression.

Hi Yury,

Would you mind showing an example of the set of regular expressions you would recommend that sysops who want to remove changes made by the Semantic Social Profile extension should use with MassEditRegex?

Also, here's a link describing some of the issues we discovered while experimenting with Semantic Social Profile:

Kind regards,
