MySQL/MariaDB database user privileges required by Cargo
I know that the normal thing to do is GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES, but I'm thinking of reducing that and would like to know which privileges are required by Cargo for (a) the main database and (b) its own Cargo database. See Topic:Wnht96uupemgrsef. Thanks. Jonathan3 (talk) 11:55, 5 January 2022 (UTC)


 * For the main DB, no special privileges. For the Cargo DB, probably just the ones you listed (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, LOCK TABLES, DELETE), plus CREATE TABLE. Yaron Koren (talk) 21:16, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Datatype "Monolingual text"
Hello,

Does an equivalent to SMW Datatype "Monolingual text" exist with Cargo ?


 * No... would it be useful? Yaron Koren (talk) 15:14, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

The need is to change the field label like in This is a property of type Has type::Text.

Language labels: Has preferred property label::Role@en Has preferred property label::Rolle@de


 * Where is that "Has preferred property label" property used? Yaron Koren (talk) 20:25, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

There is a description at "www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Special_property_Has_preferred_property_label#Example"


 * I've seen that page before, but I don't really understand it - it doesn't seem to explain what the actual effect on the display, or user interface, is. Where in the interface is the "preferred property label" used? Yaron Koren (talk) 18:38, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Table created, nothing stored, no matter via calling template or directly calling parser function
The table "Level" holds no data, however, the multiple pages has already called templates that store data. Directly calling  also does not work. I tried re-creating the table, or deleting and creating the table again, neither of which can fix. -- SolidBlock (talk) 09:28, 12 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Where is the actual #cargo_store call? The one right in that template is commented out. Yaron Koren (talk) 14:47, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I undid the comment in that template. Besides, this page manually calls  however the data “Level” is still empty. SolidBlock (talk) 03:35, 13 January 2022 (UTC)


 * After uncommenting #cargo_store, I think you just need to recreate the table - you can do that from Special:CargoTables. Yaron Koren (talk) 15:31, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * However, unfortunately, no matter how many times I recreate the table, the issue is not fixed. And pages storing that data has no data shown to be stored in the "?action=pagevalues" page. -- SolidBlock (talk) 08:27, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Are you sure that #cargo_store is actually getting called? It's inside a rather complicated #ifeq statement, and I'm not sure if it ever gets called. Yaron Koren (talk) 13:43, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes. It works normally before I initially recreate the table. Besides, I manually called  in my sandbox page. It does not work, while another table works normally. SolidBlock (talk) 06:22, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Could the reason be the exception of the replace table? Zes M Young (talk) 12:06, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

and another issue related to this
The following Lua throws MW internal exceptions, which began in recent days: SolidBlock (talk) 14:42, 21 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Maybe that's related. What are the exceptions? Yaron Koren (talk) 16:56, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
 * [993445ad01d110ae8272c772] 2022-01-22 14:07:00: Fatal exception of type "TypeError" -- SolidBlock (talk) 14:07, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Could you please add  to your LocalSettings.php file? That will hopefully lead to a more useful error message. Yaron Koren (talk) 16:04, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I have no permission to do that and have filed a task on miraheze phab. You may refer to it. SolidBlock (talk) 10:10, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Sort by date in Special:Drilldown
Is it possible to do this? I've tried using  to the template but to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks. Jonathan3 (talk) 11:59, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Just to clarify, I know the table is sortable - I just wondered whether there is a way to set a default sort column. Thanks. Jonathan3 (talk) 15:55, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Exhibit display format supported?
Creating a query with display format exhibit results in a table of rows of headers only, though with proper itemid labels (i.e. pulled from the data). I am pulling from one table, one field only, with cargo data format = page. Display and source code contains none of the query data, though the export/toolbox widget button contains the data as expected. Multiple "Error: Missing property ID at position 1" js errors.

Is the Exhibit display format still maintained, or do I have something missing in my query? --JStallings29 (talk) 20:30, 16 January 2022 (UTC)


 * That works fine for me - what versions of MediaWiki and Cargo are you running? Yaron Koren (talk) 01:36, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * MW 1.37.1, Cargo 3.0 JStallings29 (talk) 01:56, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Duplicate rows again, but this time only in Special:Drilldown
I have a List of String. Most pages have one value for that field, but some have two.

On the drilldown page, when I select two values as filters, any page with those two values is listed twice. The drilldown page works correctly in other respects and Special:CargoTables doesn't show any duplicate rows.

This is on Cargo 3.0 (07f465d) and MW 1.35.5. I've not noticed the same thing on a MW 1.34.4 wiki and Cargo 3.0 (55f3f72). Jonathan3 (talk) 12:19, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Query File column without HTML
Hi, first of all, this extension is awesome and makes our life really easy.

I have a column with the Type File which I query for a single File. Is it now possible to get the Image without the HTML surrounding's because I'd only need the filename, like it is stored? I would really like to keep the type of the column on file because of the nice view in the table view.

Thank's for getting back to me.

EDIT: I have found a solution. If I use format=template and just output the value, it work's fine. But if there is another, better solution, I'd be happy to hear from it. --DesignerThan (talk) 23:49, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
