Talk:Semantic Bundle/LQT Archive 1

Just thinking...
Nice stuff. How about getting the 'missing' extensions into the MediaWiki SVN also, and possibly stuff all of them in a subfolder 'SemanticMediaWiki' or 'SemanticBundle', instead of having them all at the top level of trunk/extensions/? siebrand 00:33, 13 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for looking into this. By the 'missing' extensions, do you mean the ones that aren't in SVN at all, or the ones that don't have a tag in SVN, or both? And what's the advantage of grouping them into one place? Yaron Koren 13:34, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * By missing I mean the extensions that are not yet in svn.wikimedia.org. The advantage of having them all in that svn repo is that all extensions can be (a) supported by translatewiki.net, so have more than excellent localisation, and (b) there are a lot of MediaWiki developer eyes on that svn, which may have a positive effect on the number of Semantic* developers. Grouping them into one place will give the bundle more profile, IMO - aside from allowing developers to check out the trunk for the bundle at once, instead of having to grab the latest versions from wherever they reside. Last but not least: all developers on the Semantic bundle can join forces and all work on the complete bundle. Cheers! siebrand 17:19, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Settings not ok
Hi, It seems that the semanticbundlesettings.php is not up-to-date with the bundle. The current version contains Maps and Semantic Maps but it includes good old Semantic Google Maps. --AdSvS 08:15, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Parser extension version problem?
I just downloaded & installed the semantic bundle zipfile -- it told me that the magic word 'if' could not be found. The ParserFunctions extension downloaded from the bundle is dated 5/25/09. I overlayed the version dated 6/13/09 that I have and the magic word problem went away.--65.117.229.105 06:04, 25 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I have the same problem with the "magic word 'if' not found". I'm using mediawiki 1.15.1 - the documentation for parserfunctions suggests a different version of parserfunctions is required for 1.15.1. It would be helpful to document what version of mediawiki has been tested with the semantic bundle. Bluethorn 01:29, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

typo in folder name
Hi, the folder included in the bundle should be named “SemanticInternalObjects” instead of “SemanticInternalOjbects”. Cheers --kgh 20:21, 15 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's been fixed in SVN but not yet released with the fix; but thanks. Yaron Koren 22:22, 15 October 2009 (UTC)


 * No worries, I just wanted to give you a hint in case this was still undiscovered. :-) Apart from that, this hint might save some systemadministrators a bit of time until it is fixed. Cheers --kgh 22:45, 15 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's true; thanks. Yaron Koren 22:50, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Suggestion for inclusion of further Semantic Extensions
I would vote for inclusion of Extension:Semantic_Graph. Is there a plan to include it? --80.122.147.22 11:38, 19 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi - we haven't thought about it, but maybe that's because we don't know anything about it. The 'graph' format in Semantic Result Formats already includes a subset of Semantic Graph's functionality, I believe. Do you know why it's not the whole thing, and whether there's a plan to move more into SRF? Yaron Koren 13:29, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Undefined property: SMWTimeValue
I'm getting the following problems after installing this new version of Semantic Bundle:

Notice: Undefined property: SMWTimeValue::$m_errors in /srv/www/htdocs/mediawiki/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/includes/SMW_DV_Time.php on line 384 Warning: implode: Invalid arguments passed in /srv/www/htdocs/mediawiki/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/includes/SMW_DV_Time.php on line 384 

I have some other extensions installing, but this warning appears even in the main page.


 * This sounds like a bug in SMW - you should post a bug report about it, or ask on the semediawiki-user mailing list. Yaron Koren 16:52, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

MediaWiki Main Page Coming up Blank
After I completed step 4 in the installation steps, I get a blank home page. Commenting out the two entries brings up the home page. What am I doing wrong?

Don't anderstand the installation
I do the installation of the bundle but I don't anderstand the 3rd step : Copy SemanticBundleSettings.sample.php to SemanticBundleSettings.php

You want us to copy all the code contained in SemanticBundleSettings.sample.php at the end of the code of SemanticBundleSettings.php ? Why not be directly integrated with the code ?

Tks for your job.


 * Hi - the idea is so that users don't directly modify SemanticBundleSettings.sample.php, since that can get changed in later versions of Semantic Bundle - just like users update LocalSettings.php but not DefaultSettings.php. If you already created a file called SemanticBundleSettings.php, then you might not need to do any more work. Yaron Koren 09:43, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Missing LocalSettings.php in SemanticBundle-20101001.zip?
I am new to semantic mediawiki. Am I to find LocalSettings.php in SemanticBundle-20101001.zip? I am unable to follow step 4 for installaion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,


 * LocalSettings.php isn't part of Semantic Bundle - it's a file that gets created automatically when you first install MediaWiki. If you have a working installation of MediaWiki, it should be right in the main directory. Yaron Koren 14:35, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch.

Page security
Hi SB users... I'm wondering which extension you are all using to provide group based page security? The HaloACL extension is the only one I know of that secures semantic data. Are there any others? - Borofkin 05:00, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
