[edit] Question

before i install and try this out - does it allow you to specify the page content and license for the images? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.244.152.222 (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts with ~~~~! 12:51, 26 July 2007

[edit] Removing Permissions

Is there any way to get this feature to work like Special:Upload, in that it only checks for membership before allowing the page to be used? I've switched to using IpbWiki, which handles permissions differently, and can't figure out how to make the two work together.

[edit] Help.

This is EXACTLY what I have. I have over 1 gig of audio files that I really don't want to upload again. I followed the steps exactly as described, but it stills ays that "Special:UploadLocal" is an undefined special page.

Any ideas? Hints? Help.... :S

Thanks.

[edit] Hacky Fix for 1.11

Overwrite the UploadLocalForm class constructor with this:

function UploadLocalForm($filename, $description, $watch, $dest) {
        global $wgUploadLocalDirectory;
 
        $this->mDesiredDestName = $dest;
        $this->mIgnoreWarning = true; //ignore warnings... don't wanna deal with 'em
                                      //however, this attitude means that it's
                                      //extremely easy to accidently overwrite
                                      //files. Solution?
        $this->mComment = $description;
 
		$this->mReUpload    = true;
        $this->mUploadClicked = true;
        $this->mLicense = ''; //not supported yet
        $this->mCopyrightStatus = ''; //not supported yet
        $this->mCopyrightSource = ''; //not supported yet
        $this->mWatchthis = $watch;
		$this->mSourceType        = '';
		$this->mDestWarningAck    = 'true';
 
		$this->mAction            = 'submit';
 
        $this->mSessionKey = true; //makes it think that it is locally stored
 
        $this->_filename = $filename;
        $directory = $wgUploadLocalDirectory;
        if ($directory[strlen($directory)-1] !== '/') $directory .= '/';
 
    	$this->mTempPath         = $directory . $filename;
    	$this->mFileSize         = filesize($this->mTempPath);
    	$this->mSrcName          = $directory . $filename;
    	$this->mFileProps        = '';
    	$this->mCurlError        = 0/*UPLOAD_ERR_OK*/;
    	$this->mStashed          = false;
    	$this->mRemoveTempFile   = false;
    }

These problems have been fixed in the latest release. Upgrade upgrade! — Edward Z. Yang^(Talk) 23:47, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I have the newest version and it does not work on 1.7.1 mediawiki, I get the error:

"The file you uploaded seems to be empty. This might be due to a typo in the file name. Please check whether you really want to upload this file."

I simply installed the older version again, and it works fine...thank you edward!

[edit] You did not upload any files.

I installed the extension complied with the procedure, however, I have this error message. Yet I see files.

Why? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.238.59.92 (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts with ~~~~! 08:35, 9 January 2008

Hi, it is likely that you are running an older version of MediaWiki. The most recent version of this extension is only known to work with 1.11. — Edward Z. Yang^(Talk) 23:38, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Problems with mediawiki version 1.11

After upgrading to mediawiki 1.11 every attempt to upload files with UploadLocal ends with

The file you uploaded seems to be empty. 
This might be due to a typo in the file name. 
Please check whether you really want to upload this file.

Does anybody experience the same problems?

Kind regards

[edit] Some files had errors

I am trying to upload a bunch of jpg images. When I run the tool I get these error messages:

Some files had errors
- (Translated) The uploaded file appears to be empty. This could be a typo in the filename. Please check the file.

After changing the class constructor:

Some files had errors
DSLMDB02099.jpg - (Translated) The uploaded file appears to be empty. This could be a typo in the filename. Please check the file.
DSLMDB02100.jpg - (Translated) The uploaded file appears to be empty. This could be a typo in the filename. Please check the file.
... etc.

Version:

   * MediaWiki: 1.9.3
   * PHP: 5.2.3 (apache)
   * MySQL: 5.0.51a 

Is there a solution for this problem?

Kind regards,

Hi, the best solution is to use MediaWiki 1.11, otherwise, use an older version of the extension. — Edward Z. Yang^(Talk) 23:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] emptyfile

Hi, i have the below error even after i installed Hacky Fix for 1.11 My Pictures.zip :

Me too. I have mediawiki 1.7. I simply installed the older version of this program (look at the September 2007 history on the main page), and it works fine...thank you edward for the great program!Odessaukrain 00:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Blank page

When I navigate to Special:UploadLocal a blank page shows up. I did the hacky fix, I didn't change the default directory, I have the right permission, what is my problem?

I solved it, but if anyone has the same problem, at line three of /extensions/SpecialUploadLocal/UploadLocalForm.php i put require_once 'extensions/SpecialUploadLocal/SpecialUploadLocal.php'; instead of the default generated text that was saying require_once('SpecialUpload.php');

[edit] Rename Problem

I am getting this error, any suggestions?

Could not rename file "$IP/extensions/SpecialUploadLocal/data/Filename.jpg" to "public/c/c2/Filename.jpg".

[edit] You did not upload any file

when i attemp to upload some files i get this type of error and any of myfiles was upload.

does somebody help me?

[edit] Problem with file ownership

When using this extension with files not uploaded through the webserver somehow, and stored in a way that the webserver doesn't have ownership, this extension gives

Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/filerepo/FSRepo.php on line 347

during processing of the file list.

[edit] Mediawiki 1.13 - Failed opening required 'SpecialUpload.php'

See title. The extension tries to include SpecialUpload.php, and I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong, but it's not in the default include paths for me. Thus the include statement has to be changed to

require_once('specials/SpecialUpload.php');

though there is probably a better way for this. The MediaWiki team changed the extension loading mechanism lately so that you only would have to load the bare minimum of things needed if you use the proper hooks. I think this extension now always includes the file, even if the functionality isn't needed at all.

[edit] Fix for 1.13 and some modifications

To make it work in 1.13:

Replace in UploadLocalForm.php

require_once('SpecialUpload.php');

with

require_once('specials/SpecialUpload.php');

---

Also I add a functionality to replace only small pictures (width < 250px). May be it would be useful for someone:

In file UploadLocalDirectory.php Insert after

foreach($forms as $key => $value) {

following code:

$img = wfFindFile( $forms[$key]->mDesiredDestName );
if ($img)
{
   $width = $img->getWidth();
   if ($width >= 250)
      continue;
}

Hope it helps. =)

I desperately needed this extension to work on a private MW 1.14 I manage. After I had checked the error log of the web server and found out that the extension searches the file SpecialUpload.php at the wrong directory, I came to the same workaround as you had a year ago. I've added the workaround to the extension page, so the next one who needs it, won't have to search too far. Dolev 19:30, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
