Fatal error
I got always the problem that my browser won't start the wiki anymore with this message:

Fatal error: Undefined class name 'specialpage'

Any ideas? Is it my fault?

Thanks

one tiny suggestion
This works out great. Thank you. It is exactly what I was looking for!

One tiny thing I can think of is the warnings (before overwriting any files with same names, etc).

Because a batch of files are being uploaded you want to make sure that youre not messing up any other articles.

I wonder if this is an already existing option here that im not seeing.. 01:36, 18 January 2007

Other suggestion
Thank you for your work.

I think it's better to put the second file in the extensions directory instead of the include one and write on the first file on line 48 : SpecialPage::addPage( new SpecialPage( 'UploadLocal', 'uploadlocal',true,"wfSpecialUploadLocal","extensions/SpecialUploadClass.php" ) );

Question
before i install and try this out - does it allow you to specify the page content and license for the images? 12:51, 26 July 2007

Removing Permissions
Is there any way to get this feature to work like Special:Upload, in that it only checks for membership before allowing the page to be used? I've switched to using IpbWiki, which handles permissions differently, and can't figure out how to make the two work together.

Help.
This is EXACTLY what I have. I have over 1 gig of audio files that I really don't want to upload again. I followed the steps exactly as described, but it stills ays that "Special:UploadLocal" is an undefined special page.

Any ideas? Hints? Help.... :S

Thanks.

 * These problems have been fixed in the latest release. Upgrade upgrade! &mdash; Edward Z. Yang (Talk) 23:47, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I have the newest version and it does not work on 1.7.1 mediawiki, I get the error:
 * "The file you uploaded seems to be empty. This might be due to a typo in the file name. Please check whether you really want to upload this file."

You did not upload any files.
I installed the extension complied with the procedure, however, I have this error message. Yet I see files.

Why? 08:35, 9 January 2008


 * Hi, it is likely that you are running an older version of MediaWiki. The most recent version of this extension is only known to work with 1.11. &mdash; Edward Z. Yang (Talk) 23:38, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Problems with mediawiki version 1.11
After upgrading to mediawiki 1.11 every attempt to upload files with UploadLocal ends with

The file you uploaded seems to be empty. This might be due to a typo in the file name. Please check whether you really want to upload this file.

Does anybody experience the same problems?

Kind regards

Some files had errors
I am trying to upload a bunch of jpg images. When I run the tool I get these error messages:

Some files had errors - (Translated) The uploaded file appears to be empty. This could be a typo in the filename. Please check the file.

After changing the class constructor:

Some files had errors DSLMDB02099.jpg - (Translated) The uploaded file appears to be empty. This could be a typo in the filename. Please check the file. DSLMDB02100.jpg - (Translated) The uploaded file appears to be empty. This could be a typo in the filename. Please check the file. ... etc.

Version: * MediaWiki: 1.9.3 * PHP: 5.2.3 (apache) * MySQL: 5.0.51a

Is there a solution for this problem?

Kind regards,

 * Hi, the best solution is to use MediaWiki 1.11, otherwise, use an older version of the extension. &mdash; Edward Z. Yang (Talk) 23:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, i have the below error even after i installed Hacky Fix for 1.11 My Pictures.zip :

"The file you uploaded seems to be empty. This might be due to a typo in the file name. Please check whether you really want to upload this file."

Can any one help me? 15:57, 1 May 2008


 * Same problem here.


 * Me too. I have mediawiki 1.7. I simply installed the older version of this program (look at the September 2007 history on the main page), and it works fine...thank you edward for the great program!Odessaukrain 00:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
