Mediawiki.Uri Error
I get the following error in Chrome: Uncaught Error: Unknown dependency: mediawiki.Uri recurse     load.php:3965 recurse     load.php:3979 resolve     load.php:4000 resolve     load.php:3989 loader.load load.php:4307 (anonymous function) I think that it is related to the mediawiki.Uri.js file that is supposed to be inside the Resources folder of my wiki. However, I'm using the latest 1.17 version and it still won't work. I can't find the older (legacy) version of this extension. Any ideas?? Thanks! --Fladei 23:16, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

EDIT: You didn't use version 1.17 for the extension I am guessing. If you select to download the version for 1.18, it will give you that error.

Error
Promising extension. I get the following error:Notice: Undefined index: texttop in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mediawiki\includes\specials\SpecialUpload.php on line 712 Notice: Undefined index: textaftersummary in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mediawiki\includes\specials\SpecialUpload.php on line 713; --Phil B Roberts 20:43, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

- Really great extension but when am using it its giving me the following error Fatal error: Class 'UploadWizardMessages' not found in D:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\home\extensions\UploadWizard\SpecialUploadWizard.php on line 106

and read me error is nowhere to be found, not even in trunk. Help is highly appreciated.

No instructions
Why no instructions on how to install this? Pretty ridiculous if you expect everyone to know how to automatically install this. I uploaded it, tried to add it to my localsettings and wham, nothing.


 * Help???


 * Yes I have had the same problem. I follow meticulously the several steps but nothing happen when I try on the wiki. Is something missing in the install tutorial ? Workworkwork 21:45, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Multi-upload
Why do I still have to pick each file manually? Other upload forms allow you to select more than 1 file in the "browsing window". Or even drag'n'drop. If Flickr and Gmail use such features, it can't be user unfriendly. --Subfader 19:26, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Upload Wizard stops while uploading
Hi, UploadWizard starts uploading and files are saved in the image directory - but then it stops at the second step, see image. Tested in MW 1.16 and MW 1.17.



I get the following error message:

mw.UploadWizardUpload::getThumbnail> thumbnail error or missing information

What did I wrong? Thanks for support, --Filburt 15:18, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Too bad this is only for 1.17 and above. Bennylin 15:02, 7 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Running this on WikiQueer, left it enabled but having this problem as well. Sometimes it gets stuck loading the initial page and then usually freezes the browser window.  --Varnent 05:24, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

I was also able to recreate this on mediawiki 1.17.1.

In internet explorer 9, it hangs at this screen: C:\fakepath\ColorPrinterFlyer.pdf Getting file information and previews...

In FireFox 9, it hangs with this message: ColorPrinterFlyer.pdf Getting file information and previews..

Uploads fail, "readapidenied"
Whenever I try to upload a file (or multiple files), I get the same error every time:

The server returned an error we did not understand: "readapidenied"

Additionally (not sure if this is related), when I select a file to upload, its path is displayed as " ", no matter when on my disk the file actually lies.

I can second this Uploads fail but not for all images.

Adding categories with colons in them
I still get a javascript error message when I try to add categories during uploadwizard if the category name has a colon ":" in it. --99of9 01:33, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Optional configuration values
I have installed it at my own wiki website 1.17 and can confirm it works as expected. However, i have a few suggestions. I think it would be better to add additional configuration settings to disable/enable the various pages in the wizard. For example the first learn page, although informative, it's a bit too much for many people. Long, English and the text cannot be modified and for small website it may not be necessary. In addition as another user here commented it should be possible to add multiple files without having to add one at a time. Other than that thank you for this extension, we really needed some good user interface for many parts of mediawiki to make it attractive and inviting for the regular user and this is one step forward. -- User:Wikimanz


 * Tutorial is translated, see e.g. commons:File:Licensing tutorial de.svg, and an option skipTutorial exists, e.g. as in (undocumented, check UploadWizard.config.php for further options):

$wgUploadWizardConfig = array( 'autoCategory' => 'Uploaded with UploadWizard', 'feedbackPage' => 'UploadWizard Feedback', 'altUploadForm' => 'Special:Upload', 'fallbackToAltUploadForm' => false, # true -> "-...been disabled due to temporary technical problems..." 'enableMultiFileSelect' => true, 'maxSimultaneousConnections' => 5, // default 3. Max number of simultaneous upload requests 'skipTutorial' => true, 	// Set skipTutorial to true to always skip tutorial step );

Problem with the extension using Mediawiki in French
I had a problem using the extension with Mediawiki 1.17 in French. Whenever I tried to upload content, I clicked the the button to select a file, the dialog popped up but when I clicked "Open" it did not add files to the list. I looked at the Javascript error log and found out it seemed to be a problem with the namespace in which image files are added ("file" in English, but "fichier" in French) which seemed to be why I had this bug.

I then corrected 3 lines in combined.min.js (I could have done it in combine.js but I do not know how to minify it again). I changed the following lines: 10536 this.title=new mw.Title(mw.UploadWizardUtil.getBasename(localFilename),'fichier'); 10945 _this.upload.title=new mw.Title(mw.UploadWizardUtil.getBasename(path),'fichier'); 11397 var title=new mw.Title(result.title).setNamespace('fichier').getNameText;

I hope this can help someone, there must be a way to correct this problem but for now I managed to make the extension work.
