SMW fails with new version ot MW

Hi Yaron,

I installed the newest version of MW a few days ago and am now realizing that something in there is messing with at least some of the SMW functionality. For example, I can no longer get a link to properties from the property browser, and the SMW elements are no longer listed in the advanced search. Internet Search tells me that a bunch of things have changed and that with the Bundle I am a full version behind the current SMW. I used the bundle in the first place because we are in a shared hosting environment and I don't have the access to use Composer. So, I was wondering... do you think you will get to updating the Bundle in the next little while?

Thanks!

I too am getting this error, would love to know if there's a fix or a workaround.

I believe a lot of that got fixed when I installed the newest version of SMW manually rather than using the bundle. It was a little tricky but doable.

Did you do a fresh install or did you update SMW? I tried updating to the newest version but saw a ton of errors and had to revert the process. Would love to know what you tried to fix it!

If I remember right I just got rid of all files and reference of the bundle and installed SMW fresh. That (and possibly other steps, can't remember) got rid of the errors. Since all the information is stored in markup in the DB it picked up pretty clean. Possibly after running rebuildData.php. However...

I upgraded MW at the same time, and had to mess with another extension that is no longer supported, and between all of that, our MW seems to no longer update categories etc as promptly as it used to. I have a crontab for both runJobs.php and rebuildData.php (think that's what it was called) running each night and that seems to have things settled the next day, but it's not a satisfying solution.

I don't get the impression that the bundle will receive any more TLC, I'd suggest trying it again.

Thanks, that's definitely a solid pointer, will give it a bash over the coming week. Really appreciate you taking the time to talk through the process you used!
