Extension talk:Page Forms

My pages Special:CreateProperty and Special:CreateClass don't show up...
Hi ! I have installed the extension on a clean new mediawiki website (English Version) but I am facing the following bugs :

Special:CreateProperty and Special:CreateClass doesn't show up ! I get a "No such special page. You have requested an invalid special page."

Moreover, when I am logged in, I get a 500 error on my page Special:Preferences...

However, I think the Semantic Forms Extension is installed correctly since I get the line into my Installed extensions on the Special:Version page.

Any idea why ?

Version :


 * MediaWiki : 1.24.1
 * SF : 3.0
 * PHP Version : 5.4.34

Thanks for your support.


 * My guess is that you don't have the Semantic MediaWiki extension installed. The Special:Preferences thing seems like a separate error, though. Yaron Koren (talk) 14:50, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

multiple instance template not working anymore after version changes. Any idea why ?
My form http://coetus.eu/wiki/Formulaire:SUITE used to work on mediawiki 1.19, including the template multiple :

Yet after I moved to mediawiki 1.23 and to semantic package, the button "Ajouter un tome dans la suite" is not active anymore, i.e. when I clic on it, nothing happens.

To make sure this is not due to my browser, I tried your sample page on http://discoursedb.org/wiki/Special:FormEdit/Item/An_example_item and that one works perfectly i.e. when I click on any of the two "add another" button, I get the expected behaviour i.e. a new series of fields presented.

Do you have the same problem with my form on your side, and do you have any clue on what I may have done wrong ?

Many thanks, and very best wishes for 2015 to you, and to the semantic wiki community.


 * It's great that the form is publicly available - that makes it much easier to debug with the browser JavaScript console. In your case, you have the error message "Unknown dependency: jquery.collapsibleTabs", which is preventing any other JS from running. I don't know what the source of that error is, though - maybe a custom extension? Yaron Koren (talk) 16:43, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Multiple instances of RunQuery being turned into UNIQ ... QINU string
My problem seems to be related to some recent problems described here and here. I want to embed two RunQueries on a single pages (e.g., the page's source code looks something like

  

This works fine and dandy if I include just Form1 or Form2, but if I include them both like this, then Form1 doesn't display at all, and instead just shows a UNIQ ... QINU string like "UNIQ639ef22958a33d50-item-0--QINU". Here is some information about my set-up:


 * MediaWiki: 1.24.1
 * PHP: 5.5.7 (cgi-fcgi)
 * MySQL: 5.0.95
 * Semantic MediaWiki: 2.0
 * Semantic Forms: 3.0

My wiki is publicly accessible if you would like me to e-mail you the link so you can see the problem in action. Thanks in advance!

Field Auto-completion Filtered By Property
I'm trying to provide a combobox, where the auto-completion provides a list of pages in a namespace that contain a particular property, but I can't figure out if this is possible.

Specifically, I'm hoping to provide a dropdown of Machine's from which the user will select a Virtual Host, these Machine's having the Boolean property, Virtual Server, ticked.

I can get the combobox to display all Machines with the followingː

and I can see that there is documentation on values dependent on= but I can't quite join up if it is possible to use this to provide only other Machine's that have the Virtual Server property equal to 1.

Am I able to achieve what I'm after?

 * You don't need "values dependent on", you need to replace "values from namespace" with either "values from category" or "values from concept", and then create a category or concept that matches the set of pages you need. "values from concept" would be the better approach - see the documentation for more information on that. Yaron Koren (talk) 15:55, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

transcluded in another page
Embedding a page that is in a sub-category

I tried the following with no effect, B still becomes a member of the category. Is there any way to fix this? If a page (which we'll call Page A) gets transcluded in another page (which we'll call Page B), and Page A belongs to a category that's associated with a form, it can have the unfortunate side effect of making Page B a member of that category as well, thus giving Page B an "edit with form" tab at the top, even if such a tab is not appropriate. You can solve this problem by putting the category declaration in Page A within a "&lt;noinclude&gt;" block, which will make Page A a member of that category but not Page B.


 * Sorry, I don't know. Yaron Koren (talk) 19:43, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

indexing multiple instance templates
I know this has been asked before, but I am just curious if there is any plan to implement this in the future. I attempted to modify the js file and add in the index field, but it does not work. I am not sure if the patch needs to be updated.

 * No, unfortunately there's still not a solution, though I do want to implement one. I think it would be cleaner to do via SIO or subobjects than in the form, but... whatever works. I should also note the order is preserved if the data is stored via Cargo, but that's a whole other story. Yaron Koren (talk) 21:49, 13 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I saw that. I plan to look into Cargo when I can come up for air. --Dgennaro 21:58, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
