Hi Jeroen, I notice you have some experience with SMW. Can you please help me troubleshoot a page on my wiki? See http://libertapedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edward_Brown_%28prisoner%29&oldid=23038 (working version) and http://libertapedia.org/wiki/Edward_Brown_%28prisoner%29 (non-working version). I replaced the #ask with #show. Isn't that the command I'm supposed to use when I'm only trying to get one result? Once this is figured out, then there is a template I am also trying to troubleshoot, and then hopefully everything will be working as intended. Thanks.

By the way, if you get stuck on your project, or just want to bounce ideas of someone, feel free to drop me a line. I've only been programming MediaWiki for a few months, but I'm fairly good at research, and sometimes it's helpful to have a second pair of eyes look at a problem. Tisane 12:44, 26 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I don't see anything wrong there. I'm not that familiar with SMW syntax though. You're better off asking such a question on the SMW user list: semediawiki-user@lists.sourceforge.net
Thanks for your offer of support. Can you add me on some IM app (see user page for usernames)? Jeroen De Dauw 13:29, 26 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi

I just installed this on MedaWiki, but can not get it to work.

MediaWiki is ver 1.15. I downloaded the latest snapshot of SlimboxThumbs from SF. Installed the SlimboxThumbs folder etc in /extensions/ I added "include_once("$IP/extensions/SlimboxThumbs/SlimboxThumbs.php");" at the end of LocalSettings.php My image is addressed by "Setting User Access"

Is there something I've missed?

You can see it at http://wiki.webtrees.net/Access_and_Privacy

Nigel 203.118.156.151 03:07, 3 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

What is "SF" in "I downloaded the latest snapshot of SlimboxThumbs from SF"? Also, what am I supposed to see on the linked page? I don't see anything odd, and there doesn't appear to be any "My image is addressed by". Jeroen De Dauw 13:20, 3 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
Sorry for those confusions. Ignore "SF", my error. I got the download of SlimboxThumbs by clicking on "Download snapshot" at www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SlimboxThumbs.
The link attached to "My image is addressed by" was converted to an image link, on the right of the post. Not much use to you, I realise. Sorry. Try http://wiki.webtrees.net/Access_and_Privacy
If you click on the image there, captioned "Setting user access", on the right-hand side, I expected it to open in slimbox, but it doesn't.
I have no doubt its my error - but need to help to see where.

I intend to have a poke at this issue at some point, but that can take a while. After all, I'm not the maintainer of SlimboxThumbs. Sadly enough the person that is the maintainer does currently not have the time to look at it. So you are probably best of waiting with using the extension until it's more stable.

hello, i'm the owner of www.ratingstars.org and i'd like it to become a reviews website where any logged in user can submit star rating (10 stars) as many times he wants, but for every user there will be 1 average. so overall rating would look like this: The Avatar Movie 7,55/1000 votes/200 users. it will allow to generate chart with line presenting changes of the average in time. it should also allow authors of the articles to manually include ratings (average and number of votes) from external websites during the page edit.could you do that? and how much does it cost? maybe you would like to cooperate on this website and share profits? 213.134.163.135 06:46, 17 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Semantic Google Maps with kml?

edit

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


Jeroen, for a documentation site on landgrabbing issues I managed to set up a semantic mediawiki (1.17) including semantic maps (1.03). Forms and a results map have been straightforward to implement, but now I have been asked if we could display the contents of a kml or kmz file in such a map. I have tried to understand the maps code (I am not really good in php), but I found no real entry point or hint that this is implemented in semantic google maps. From my understanding, it however seems to have been implemented in the normal mediawiki google maps.

Could you please shed some light on this? 178.10.110.79 Markus Spring <m.spring@gmx.de> 21:18, 29 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

If you use Google Maps v3 as service (which is the default), then you can add kml and kmz files using the kml and gkml parameters. These are accepted by display_map, display_points and semantic queries with format map or googlemaps. Jeroen De Dauw 22:48, 29 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

This is what I do so far - it displays the map with the places from the DemoLandgrab category if they have coordinates. I thought I could add the kml coordinates to this map - visible only when zooming in. But I would be at least as happy with a map showing only the kml outline, I just couldn't find out the syntax how to accomplish that. 178.10.110.79 Markus Spring <m.spring@gmx.de> 22:58, 29 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
The KML parser of Semantic Maps does not support the LinearRing element, so it, and all the point it contains, are getting dropped. You can try the gkml param instead, which sends the KML to Google services and get the tiles from there. Jeroen De Dauw 23:08, 29 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, Jeroen. I couldn't get it to work immediately, but will try again tomorroy. Additionally I found your blog plus some documentation on referata.com, which will probably help.

Semantic Signup questions

edit

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


Hi Jeroen, I noticed that you did some work on the SemanticSignup extension. I posted 2 questions on the SemanticSignup that I would like to bring to your attention and I was wondering if the questions are bugs and if they might be incorporated in any new version of SemanticSignup. One is about including combobox. It works on all the other forms I made but somehow it doesn't work with the SemanticSignup form. I can define a field to be labeled as combobox; and it will show up as a combobox in "Show preview". But as soon as I want to test the SemanticSignup by register a new user, the combobox will turn out to be a drop box. Any idea on how to solve this? I'm using: Mediawiki 1.20alpha, SMW 1.7.0.2, SF 2.4alpha, Semantic Forms Input 0.5, Semantic Signup 0.3 but similar behavior occurs for Mediawiki 1.18.1 and the rest the same.

The 2nd issue has to do with uploading an image. One of the fields I would like to include for people who register to our wiki is an option to upload a picture of themselves. Only people who have an account on the wiki can edit a page. So I defined a field to upload a image, and that all goes well but as soon as people try to upload a picture during the site registration they get a message "You must be logged in to upload files".In other words, people who register do not have the permission yet to upload files. Would there be a work around this so the defined Bot can upload a file in advance, similar like the page creation.

Thank you, Albert Ke 16:07, 14 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

There are many issues with the Semantic Signup extension, and I only fixed a few of them. As I don't have time to maintain this extension myself, I hope someone else fixes these issues. Sorry, but I really can't help you with this one. Jeroen De Dauw 16:19, 14 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi Jeroen,

I don't know if you noticed the 'hoped-for' item I added to the Summer of Code 2012 page, predominantly workflow improvements to aid in Wikinews' use of Flagged Revisions — and the actual task of reviewing articles. Your name is at the top of the list of volunteer mentors, and I would really appreciate if you could look over the outline(s) in my userspace and give feedback where you see it as appropriate.

To be honest, looking through some of the Semantic Wiki extensions it looks like a few might help on Wikinews were they available for the main MediaWiki codebase.

Cheers! --Brian McNeil (talk) 14:36, 9 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Your proposal looks great. Some additional details would be good though, such as what exactly you are planning on adding/changing.
Not sure if I'd be able to mentor you much in this, since I am not really familiar with Wikinews or Flagged Revisions. I know what they do and have used both to a very small extend, but am not familiar with the details or codebase. You will probably be better of with a mentor more familiar with these. Maybe Ryan Kaldari? I'm not really sure if anyone who signed up as mentor has much experience with Flagged Revs, but it's worth asking them :)
Semantic MediaWiki or something similar could greatly help out many of Wikimedias projects, including Wikinews. Unfortunately SMW does not meet some of the requirements top be put on these projects though, so getting it these is not going to happen for your GSoC project. We are working on something new to add such capabilities, see meta:WikiData WMDE for more info. Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 16:59, 9 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Jeroen,
Thanks for the very positive feedback! I'm in no way capable of undertaking the work myself as part of GSoC; my PHP knowledge is basic, and not improving at a particularly rapid rate. Since I started earning a living in IT about 25 years ago, a lot has changed and I've not kept up with everything.
I'll chase up on your suggested contacts/improvements to my 'vague scribblings'. On reflection, they're quite well-constructed for something done in a hurry between the hours of 01:00 and 05:30. My general hope is that someone will have a Eureka! moment and propose an implementable solution by looking at the issues with a fresh set of eyes.
I'll go bug Ryan, and take a look at the WMDE stuff; I really hope some of the Semantic MediaWiki features can be ported to the main codebase - even as extensions. To me, at least, it looks like a substantial amount of the code therein would kill off something I saw at countless customer sites I worked at all over Europe. Namely, abandoned SharePoint implementations which companies had written-off tens, sometimes hundreds, of thousands of Euro of investment in.

Hello, I have been going through a lot of project ideas in the gsoc page and Adding Flickr integration sounded as a good summer project.

Thanks Nischayn22 (talk) 03:51, 18 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Great to hear you are considering this project :)
Although I'm familiar with this extension from both user and developer perspectives, I'm not a real user or much of a Wikipedian, so can't tell you how useful it would be. I recommend you talk to the person who proposed the idea. In any case, if you go support third party services, then having an expendable system for them would be the way to go, in other words, the code should be generic with service specific things nicely modularized. So I'd start of creating this system and getting it to work with either Flickr or Picasa and then adding other stuff to it, depending on demand on remaining time :)

Maps Issue With Upgrade To 1.19

edit

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


Spoke with you today in IRC about this issue. Didn't know where/how to track it so I created a post on Semantic maps. See: http://mapping.referata.com/wiki/Talk:Semantic_Maps#Mapping_issues_with_1.19_Upgrade_271

Two issues I identify: First, the maps don't generate on Semantic Forms. Simply use Foo for a random entry. See: http://offgridops.org/foreclosurepedia/index.php/Form:REO_Property_Inventory

Second, the ask and compound queries don't work anymore. See: http://offgridops.org/foreclosurepedia/index.php/Template:Main_Page_REO

Any help would be great and I appreciate all y'all do!

Side note: I posted here as eventually I figured folks will be able to track via the mapping and author. Coffeehound (talk) 20:49, 9 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

The form input bug has been fixed in git and will be gone in the next release. Not sure what the SCQ bug is supposed to be. I don't see any results on the map, which probably means there simply are no geographical results to display. Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 09:23, 10 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
Deleted my comments. Here's the deal: I'm not a coder; however I figured that I should try a test property coded by hand. It displayed on the template. http://offgridops.org/foreclosurepedia/index.php/Template:Main_Page_REO
So, I found that if I went in and manually saved each entry it seems to somehow repopulate the data that was gone. I don't know maybe the database needed to be tweaked. Beyond me; however, maybe this gives you a baseline to figure out what is going on for future issues.
Additionally, when I resaved the first entry it repopulated ALL the missing properties as well. http://offgridops.org/foreclosurepedia/index.php/Property:Has_coordinates
Would be curious if there is an explanation as I am trying to teach myself how this stuff works and this would be great from an educational point-of-view! As always thanx for all the work y'all do! Coffeehound (talk) 02:03, 11 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
Do you encounter this issue only when doing compound queries on maps, or also when you do them with table as result format? That lets me know if the problem lies with retrieving (or storing the data) or is somehow specific to Semantic Maps. Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 18:25, 11 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
The only time it has ever happened is after the update. There are two database issues associated with SMW but I am posting them on SMW (two tables did not install on update causing 1054 errors --- one is: from within function "Job::insert". Database returned error "1054: Unknown column 'job_timestamp' in 'where clause' (localhost)" when I click update the database and the other is job_timestamp when I attempt to delete a page.
I had to manually enter rev_sha1 into the SQL when I did the original update and the wiki itself appears fine. I am tracking down each SQL file to ensure all tables have generated. Would appreciate it if you would tell Yaron or whomever over at SMW that my post is legit and I need to know all the table names to ensure they were added/updated. I do not have root access so maintenance.php is not an option.
If you want cpanel access or admin access on the wiki let me know and you can poke around if it will help you w/the extension. I am on launchpad and do the same w/ubuntu all the time. Coffeehound (talk) 22:53, 11 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hoi Jeroen,

I'm a participant on the roads project on the Dutch-language Wikipedia, and noticed your name when I was researching OpenStreetMap/Wikipedia integration. My question is maybe a bit more of a general guidance question, but my goal is to use OSM maps within road articles, and adding the road info to those maps (and I can imagine that being a two-way street, where OSM might get the data from Wikipedia). Who would be the best (technical) point of contact for this? Any clues where to get started? Any input welcome.

Thanks so much for your help, and apologies for being at the very beginning of a steep learning curve. (I have only just learned to edit my Mediawiki on my MAMP local server.)
The debate looks pretty complicated, but I was confused about something that isn't written down there (I think).
After reading the page you showed me, I realised [?] that an education person can experiment with the Extension already, or use it in a class now, even if it is still disabled (is that right?).
If so, that means all I have to do is figure out how to get hold of Mediawiki 1.20 (??), and then I can install and use - (is that right?)
Thanks again
Open Research (talk) 21:00, 9 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
The extension is not enabled on Wikipedia yet, so you cannot use it in the context of Wikipedia yet. However, if you yourself have a similar program, and you have your own wiki on which you're running it, then you can get the extension and immediately start using it with the features it currently has. The later case (having such a program yourself) seems slightly unlikely to me, so I'm not sure you actually have use for this extension :) Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 19:09, 12 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
Hi Jeroen, thanks so much for getting back to me. Actually I do have a wiki that I was going to launch in a week or two, and your extension is going to be *perfect* for it. I was so excited when I found it, I nearly fell off my chair.
My wiki needs some of the features of Semantic Mediawiki - are the two extensions (Semantic Mediawiki and Education Program) compatible, do you think?

Dear Jeroen,
I have Education Program set up with Mediawiki 1.21 :)
I wonder, could you please tell me, if I wanted to change the wiki so that 'Student' and 'Student list' became 'Researcher' and 'Researcher list', what would I need to do?
best wishes,
Open Research (talk) 16:23, 3 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
These names are not configurable, so if you change them (which is easily enough), you will need to re-apply the change when you update the code.
The names can be found in EducationProgram.i18n.alias.php. You need to modify the stuff in array(), which are the actual names that will resolve to the special page in question. Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 17:05, 3 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Status of "image layers" in Maps for OpenLayers ?

edit

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


Hello I retrieved version 2.0 of Maps from a Git snapshot. I am unclear if image layers are supported at this time. I looked at the documentation - http://mapping.referata.com/wiki/Images_as_layers - but I can't see how to actually reference an image directly. That example seems to use some kind of predefined layer but I'm not sure where that is. I am hoping to have my set up allow editors to use images that they upload in the usual way and then use the image as a map layer. This is for collaboratively commenting/marking images. DJBarney24 (talk) 12:51, 18 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

This functionality was added quite a while back mostly as proof of concept and has since not been polished or maintained. I suspect it's completely broken in Maps 2.0.x. User:Danwe has been doing work to enhance the functionality but it has not made it's way into master yet. Hopefully it will be in the 2.1 release :) Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 13:16, 18 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I'll get in contact with Danwe. I notice he mentions that it inadvisable using some of these extensions on large wiki's. My project could potentially be large as it is to do with collaboratively marking/commenting space images (primarily planetary surfaces). DJBarney24 (talk) 12:17, 19 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi Jeroen, I've tried your extension kml export, but it doesn't seems to work on my wiki ! I can publish googlemaps (so it seems working well) with Maps and Semantic-Maps. I even tried with adding 'kml' format in the array in the settings of result formats or adding $srfgFormats[] = 'kml'; in the localsettings.php

on the page http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:KML_format you give two examples of queries for coords, how do we get the kml export file?

Now tracked at https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMaps/issues/9 Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 19:02, 24 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
There was a problem for "/Maps/includes/Maps_KMLFormatter.php" line 157. The parser tries to get the altitude value from the database that doesn't exist. (KML file has altitude values besides lat/long, and is supposed to be zero if there's no value). I basically changed that line to: "$coordinates->getLongitude() . ',' . $coordinates->getLatitude() . ',0'" and the problem goes away. There might be a better way to do this, but if the geo coordinate property is not designed to hold altitude, then have the altitude value hard coded as zero may still be suitable.

Old version of Maps extension?

I have an old MW 1.15.1 install using the depreciated GoogleMaps extension that uses Google Maps V2 which is of course also depreciated. So all maps stopped working on my wiki as of yesterday. As a temporary solution, before upgrading MW and installing the current Maps, I'd like to use an earlier version of your Maps extension and for this I need the 0.7.x version but I couldn't find it anywhere. Is it still available to somewhere? If so, where? 41.188.46.39 06:43, 20 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi Jeroen,

I'm using Mediawiki 1.23 now. But I am constantly having a "Notice: Undefined index: read in /XXX/wiki/includes/installer/LocalSettingsGenerator.php on Line 226" at the top of my wiki page.

The line is like:

    $groupRights .= "# The following permissions were set based on your choice in the installer\n";
	foreach ( $this->groupPermissions as $group => $rightArr ) {
            $group = self::escapePhpString( $group );
	    foreach ( $rightArr as $right => $perm ) {
		$right = self::escapePhpString( $right );
		$groupRights .= "\$wgGroupPermissions['$group']['$right'] = " .
		                	wfBoolToStr( $perm ) . ";\n";
		}
	}
	if ( $this->groupPermissions['*']['edit'] === false
	    && $this->groupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] === false
Line 226==> && $this->groupPermissions['*']['read'] !== false
	) {
	    $noFollow = "\n# Set \$wgNoFollowLinks to true if you open up your wiki to editing by\n"

	    . "\$wgNoFollowLinks = false;";
	}

I try to define 'read' in my "LocalSettings.php" file in this way:

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = true;

ID Generator - Installation without Composer

edit
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

I'm running a Mediawiki installation on a Synology NAS. This NAS is located in my home network. I would like to add the ID generator extension to this Mediawiki installation. Unfortunately Composer is not available on this system. The installation guide on github states that the "recommended way to install ID Generator is using Composer MediaWiki's built-in support for Composer" and tells only this "recommended" way. Is there a maybe not recommended way to install this extension without using Composer? Something like copying the files somewhere into the extensions directory, adding lines like "wfLoadExtension( 'IdGenerator' );" to the LocalSettings.php file, and done... ? Many thanks for an answer in advance! Wgkderdicke (talk) 12:14, 29 April 2021 (UTC) :The loading of the extension code is done via the Composer autoloader. So just placing the extension files in the extensions folder is insufficient. :You'd need to have a MediaWiki somewhere where you can run composer. Then install the extension there. Then you can copy the resulting vendor/ directory to your more restricted wiki. That will break things is you don't have the same version of MediaWiki and extensions in both places though. :Probably easier to just download the extension and modify https://github.com/ProfessionalWiki/IdGenerator/blob/master/extension.json#L37-L39, probably following this https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/extensions/BoilerPlate/+/HEAD/extension.json (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAutoloadClasses) Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 15:22, 29 April 2021 (UTC) :Wow.

wmde/iterable-functions library

I came across a use for the iterable_to_array function from your iterable-functions library, but I was a bit surprised to find that it wasn't already in use in any WMF codebase (according to codesearch) and packagist seems to say nothing else depends on it either.

How we will see unregistered users

edit

Hi! You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki. When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed. Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help. If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter. We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January. Thank you. /Johan (WMF) 18:17, 4 January 2022 (UTC) MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:17, 4 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
