Topic on Extension talk:CIForms

Hi, I just installed this on MW 1.41 without reading this discussion and I've just learned that it isn't compatible with 1.41 yet,

When I go to Tools -> Special Pages I get an error now and cannot view those pages'

[3ea6e9ec6c538d7cf9d141aa] 2024-03-01 14:01:37: Fatal exception of type "Error".

If I disable the plugin in LocalSettings.php I can then view the special pages again.

I'm not sure what I should do? I'm concerned it's permanently damaged my install in some way. What is the recommended course of action?

Also when I ran the maintainance/update.php It seemed to run ok but there was a warning that I should have executed maintainance/run.php instead. Could this be the problem?

Thanks.

I've just looked in the error log:

[01-Mar-2024 14:16:40 Europe/London] PHP Deprecated:  Use of ParserOutput::getFlag was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.38. [Called from CIForms::onOutputPageParserOutput in <snipped>/extensions/CIForms/includes/CIForms.php at line 79] in <snipped>/includes/debug/MWDebug.php on line 386

hello @Findjam if you just comment it on LocalSettings there won't be any kind of damage to the MW installation. Just, currently it does not work on MW 1.41, I don't still have an ETA for this but you can contact me directly for specific support

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the reply. No problem at all. I have done that and I just rolled back the DB a few hours just to be on the safe side. No harm done.

Look forward to the update as this really does seem to be the best and most feature rich Form extension, unless I've missed something. If I find some time I may roll my sleeves up and take a look, possibly create a PR on GitHub.

there is also the following Extension:VisualData

@Findjam the latest version (1.3.2) should work with recent versions of Mediawiki as well !
