Fatal error: Call to a member function getNamespace on a non-object in /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/SocialProfile/UserStats/EditCount.php on line 18
Using the latest version of your code "1.4 (November 30, 2009)" along with MediaWiki 1.15.1 I get the error in the headline if I have $wfNamespacesForEditPoints defined in LocalSettings.php
 * $wgNamespacesForEditPoints = array(0); // Array of namespaces for that can earn you points. Use numerical keys. Default is 0 -- only main namespace edits can earn a user points.

If I remove the $wgNamespacesForEditPoints from LocalSettings.php the error goes away, but I would really like to be able to use this so I can add other namespaces. Thanks, --Cforrest 18:48, 30 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Oops, good catch! I've fixed that regression in r59601; now it should work again. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 20:13, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Special:UpdateEditCounts not using $wgNamespacesForEditPoints
When I add namespaces (14 for categories or 104 for a custom one I have) the edit counts update appropriately and increment for edits to pages in the defined namespaces (0, 14, 104). If I then run Special:UpdateEditCounts the additional namespaces are ignored and the count is reset back down to the number of edits in the main namespace (0). Can you please make it so that the Special:UpdateEditCounts uses $wgNamespacesForEditPoints?

BTW, thank you for such a cool extension. MW version 1.15.1 and SocialProfile 1.4 --Cforrest 20:29, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

UPDATE
I was able to "fix" this myself by making the appropriate edits to UserStats/SpecialUpdateEditCounts.php. It may not be pretty, but it works :)

Edit UserStats/SpecialUpdateEditCounts.php

REPLACE WITH REPLACE WITH INSERT ABOVE Then go to your wiki and re-run Special:UpdateEditCounts in order to have your counts include all namespaces defined in $wgNamespacesForEditPoints in LocalSettings.php.

Good Luck --Cforrest 00:22, 2 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks again, I've fixed this in r59661. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 14:26, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

globally rename foe and friend
I'd like to be able to rename 'foe' to 'rival' for my site. Is there a way to do this easily, or is it a hunt and peck through the source code? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.42.66.48 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~ !

This extension seemed to break Lucene
After I installed this extension my lucene search engine stopped being able to update it's indices, which is not good at all. So now I want to "uninstall" the extension, which I assume will include removing the database entries. Is there a list somewhere of what database tables I can get rid of? Thanks
 * The tables created by this extension are user_board, user_profile, user_stats, user_relationship, user_relationship_request, user_system_gift, system_gift, user_gift, gift, and user_system_messages. Reach Out to the Truth 14:51, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

- Thanks for the list, I am not sure if this extension caused the problem or not. It seems my Lucene indexes became corrupt or something, and only after I removed them completely and rebuild them does it start to work again. It worked fine before this extension was installed, but that doesn't really prove this Extension was the problem. Still have decided to use another method for user profile info though, thanks for the info.

Question: possible to add message comments to emails?
Is it possible to add the message someone sends via the profile to the email that is sent using magic words, templates or the like? thanks for your help.. --LainieH 00:02, 1 March 2010 (UTC)


 * See UserBoardClass.php, specifically the functions sendBoardMessage and sendBoardNotificationEmail. I think that passing the $message variable to sendBoardNotificationEmail in sendBoardMessage might work. I didn't test it obviously, just had a quick look at the code and thought it might work. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 15:47, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Are you running the SVN version of SocialProfile? If so, is the revision r63098 or a newer one?

Images black after extension upgrade
I upgraded to the latest version of SocialProfile on Feb 22. Since that time, any avatars uploaded are now black. I've viewed the images directly, yes they really are black. Existing images are fine. I've purged the page, no difference. Running version 1.14.0 mediawiki. SocialProfile 1.4. I've copied back the previous version of SpecialUploadAvatar.php with no luck. Any suggestions welcomed. --Tomfuie 19:04, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * As you probably noticed, the trunk version of SocialProfile is only compatible with MediaWiki 1.16 (which hasn't yet been released). However, I do know about your problem, seeing as I stumbled upon it last year. I don't know what caused it exactly, but it had nothing to do with SocialProfile, because same version of SocialProfile worked on a different server. Check your server's configuration and make sure that any recent updates haven't messed up things. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 23:45, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Either code hack or extension confusion. Once I reinstalled a fresh version of the extension it worked fine.  --Tomfuie 14:59, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Question about Messaging Customization
I have had my user base ask if it is possible to customize messaging to allow for a public "message board" where users can post comments ("like facebook"). I have also had them ask if they can sort messages by topic (like a discussion forum). Are you aware of any web sites using the social profile extension that have customized it for this type of funtionalitly? Is this possible? Thanks.. --LainieH 22:11, 8 March 2010 (UTC)


 * That certainly sounds a bit complicated, but nevertheless interesting. I'm not aware of any sites that would have hacked SocialProfile for such a purpose, but maybe it is doable. You could try asking around if someone's willing to do that for you (I'm afraid I can't, I have plenty of projects already). --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 15:43, 15 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I wonder if this would work? Extension:FBConnect allows XFBML tags to be placed inline with wiki text, so maybe you can simply use  to generate an instant comments box. This would probably only work with users Connected through Facebook, however... Just a thought! -Gbruin 06:18, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Default User Page, Wiki default?
Default install appears to make every user's page a enhanced version. Is there a setting or tweak to make the wiki user page the default? --Tomfuie 15:07, 15 March 2010 (UTC)


 * You could try setting $wgUserPageChoice = false;, that might work. I haven't tested myself what that does though, so beware. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 15:43, 15 March 2010 (UTC)


 * if you change the database setting to the reverse of the default that's in there you can have it automatically use the Wiki page instead of the social profile version (it's what I've done). You do need to run populate user pages when you get new members, however. 198.150.164.8 17:55, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Fan (and a question or two... or three)
It'd be neat if you could add a function similar to the friends feature, but have it for articles. Editors could add a tag that would show a list of watchers (Fans) of the article, and also supply a link to "Add to my Watchlist". This would be kinda like Facebook's "Fan" feature.

The next few questions are unrelated to the suggestion above, and from each other.

How would I add the option to have restricted access to only friends? Like allowing a user to post a user subpage, but letting them decide to make it public, or private. And allowing sysops to make articles friends only; Such as being able to build a page for a gaming organization. But, only allowing a certain user's group of friends able to view it. Also allowing user to call whether a certain datafield is public/private (Like if they enter the location, but they only want their friends to see).

And the next question, how can I call a user's profile data? Like in a template, let's say I want to call a custom field "age", and use it in an article.

The final question is, how could I add or remove information spaces (Personal information, Other information, Custom information)? Like, I want to add a "Gaming information" panel with some custom fields, like "Points", "Game collection", "Favorite Game Characters", "Gaming level", etc. Smile Lee 17:57, 30 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Most of these requests sound quite time-consuming; they aren't something I've been planning to do.


 * You can't call social profile data in a template as of now, sorry.


 * Maybe you can add some fields to user profile with the appropriate UserProfile* hooks; see Extension:SocialProfile/For developers for further information. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 17:47, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

 * I am using MediaWiki version 1.13.2 and the latest SocialProfile as of today and that exactly is your problem. The extension page clearly states that the current version of SocialProfile requires MediaWiki 1.16 or newer. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 17:47, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Well I feel like a bozo. Updated to 1.17 and it works for the most part. Adding friends and uploading pictures seems to be a problem still. Seems like it is related to UserStatsClass.php on line 518 is something funny going on with the for loop.

Foeing?
Why would a site owner want to enable foeing? I guess maybe if it were some sort of gaming wiki, you might have your arch-rivals as foes. But even then, it's all in the spirit of fun so they're not really foes. Tisane 05:44, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

ImageMagick workarounds in future development
I'm one of those folks who, when receiving the  error message, researched the bug. Instead of acting confused or lost, I researched what I could. I found on multiple occasions that SocialProfile demands ImageMagick for image uploads as it forces a resize. All I've got access to is the GD-Lib, surprise surprise. In future developments, it would be preferential (at least, for me) for the following to happen. As opposed to demanding GD-Lib support, or trying to code it myself (I'm nowhere that good), it would be nice if the native API for image uploading could be used. I'd rather just upload the avatar to my wiki, and choose it from the Avatar page. Or, add in an option to disable image uploads through the SocialProfile API until a workaround is ready.

Despite not being able to find a concise workaround, it doesn't make me feel disparaged. I love the work that's been put into this extension, and I'll still be using it and encouraging the userbase to continue using it despite the lack of avatars. Echternacht 05:00, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Again, use the correct version of SocialProfile and MediaWiki. Current version of SocialProfile, 1.5, will not work with MediaWikis older than 1.16. SocialProfile has required MW 1.16 or newer since r63049, which means that some of the 1.4 versions will not work with older MWs either. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 12:31, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Imagemagick Hack
I was having the darndest time trying to get imagemagick to work since I had a non 'usr/bin/convert' type call. It didn't seem to matter what I set the $wgImageMagickConvertCommand to, since it didn't seem to get imported into the SpecialUploadAvatar.php file


 * I tried a couple things in the SpecialUploadAvatar.php file, where the file has the convert commands, I tried putting in the absolute path (I know bad me, but I wanted to see if this worked). YES It did work, in my case my path is /opt/csw/bin/convert  and adding this made it work.  I had to add it three times for each of the $typeCode if/then statements.

Required wikia extensions to implement point system
The documentation of the point system explains: "Most of the above require separate Wikia extensions to be installed and configured."

 * So which exactly of voting/rating extensions I need to use or how to enable voting without it? Probably I have to use some revisions from wikia-code? Thank you. AvalarMS 06:16, 27 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm working on making most of these extensions available. Blogging system, for example, is just too fragile and hacky to be fixed, but some other stuff (comments, voting) can be fixed. If you want to use code from Wikia's SVN, do so at your own risk &mdash; the mentioned extensions are unsupported.

Fladei 09:59, 14 October 2010 (UTC)


 * A link to your wiki would have been useful. In any case, check that the path variables ($wgUserBoardScripts, $wgUserProfileScripts and $wgUserRelationshipScripts) are correct; you can see the defaults in extensions/SocialProfile/SocialProfile.php. If they aren't correct, CSS and JS will not be loaded properly. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 12:09, 14 October 2010 (UTC)


 * The wiki is being developed in localhost before publishing it, so I cannot put any link to the wiki. The path variables, I have to check them under which file? Because the defaults are good in extensions/SocialProfile/SocialProfile.php. Thanks! --Fladei 14:01, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Great Extension! I applaud you for all your work. Had a question regarding the possibility of using only one component of the extension, just the UserStats. Is that possible?--to.rmine 18:39, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Board functionality on Windows
I have installed SocialProfile 1.5 on MediaWiki 1.16 and several things will not work on a Windows installation.


 * Board shows up in profile but no ability to edit
 * Thanks for the feedback Jack. Maybe this is pilot error but when I view the profile page I see edit links for Custom, Other and Personal information.  I do not see an edit link for the Board though it is displayed with no messages.  Special:UserBoard just says "no messages".  Maybe the question is how do you create messages and UserBlasts?
 * To create messages, go to the user's social profile page. For example, if you would want to message User:Foo, you'd go to User:Foo or User profile:Foo (depending if User:Foo has chosen to use social profile page or normal wiki userpage) and write your message in the textarea, below the "Board" header; there you can also choose whether the message will be public or private. As for board blasts, once someone has messaged you (in other words, when you have board messages on your board), a "Send board blast" link will appear on your profile. You can also go to Special:SendBoardBlast (which is where the link will take you to) to send a board blast. If I recall correctly, you can send board blasts only to people on your friend/foe list. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 19:57, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I am having the same problem. There is nothing under the board header, there is no text area to write a message, nothing to choose whether to make it public or private. My board and other boards literally have nothing in them to do anything with. Do you know why this is not working? Thanks. 81.159.151.41 23:41, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

 * No. The best you have is the extension page, this talk page and its archives. Feel free to write one, though &mdash; this is a wiki after all. :-) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 19:57, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

 * What do you mean by "no ability to edit"? To edit what?


 * As for the GiveGifts special page issue, you need to create at least one gift before you can use Special:GiveGift. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 14:08, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Did not find alias for special page 'GiveGift'. Perhaps no page aliases are defined for it?

 * That's irrelevant, it's an i18n issue rather than any kind of a bug in the code. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 19:57, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Page Cache
I was just over at Halopedia playing with the Social Profile and noticed that edits made to profile and message system do not update properly. Every time a change is made you have to either log out to see it or perform a hard refresh via ctrl+f5. Is there any work around for this problem without disabling cache for the entire site?

 * Halopedia uses FileCache. AFAIK with memcached (etc.) there's no such problem. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 19:57, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Invite Friends
When I look at my friends list at the top it says "Want more friends? Invite them." with a link to a special page that is not there! How do i get this invite page and if possible make it work with the awards system? -- Redeye 01:02, 25 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's not there because it's a separate extension. Feel free to remove the link there. I'll try to get it ready eventually, but since no-one's paying me, everything depends on the developers' interests, and currently I'm the only one actively developing SocialProfile and I have other, more important projects than fixing the mess that the InviteContacts extension is. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 19:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Fatal error
After adding the appropriate lines to LocalSettings.php, and creating the tables, I encounter a blank page when accessing a user profile. After enabling PHP debug, the following Fatal Error is displayed on the user profile page:

Any information on how to resolve this?

 * Mark suggested me to make SocialProfile user that function in code review for r75007 and I committed the change in r77339. iAlex introduced unixTimestamp function in r77231. Reedy noted on the comment section for r77231 that the unixTimestamp function has been superseded by the querypage-work2 branch, which was merged to trunk in r78786. Roan removed the unixTimestamp functions in r79345.


 * I've reverted my r77339 in r79748; please update to that revision to fix this issue. Thank you for reporting this, this issue went unnoticed for quite a long time... --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 19:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Your change seems to of corrected the issue. SocialProfile seems to be working fine now, although I haven't extensively tested all of its features. Note that my SVN update was to 79753 not 79748. Thanks for the timely response. --Enterprise user 21:06, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Remove/Disable either the 'Friend' or 'Foe' Feature
Is there a way to disable or remove either the 'Friend' or 'Foe' feature? Thanks --Enterprise user 22:36, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Namespace Corruption
I recently noticed that my properties created by Semantic Tasks are being associated with the userprofile namespace. For example, when display a list of past and recently created properties, they're displayed as userprofile:foo instead of property:foo. Is there a way to resolve this without disabling SocialProfile? --Enterprise user 22:59, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Another Namespace Issue with UserWiki talk namespace
I found that UserWiki namespace doesn't have associated talk namespace. It's not critical for me now, but this potentially could be a cause of creation pages in main namespace with titles like ":Username". I am sure it isn't a discovery for developers, but I can't understand their motivation of this very strange thing.--AvalarMS 04:28, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
