DPL-Error: Illegal mix of collations ... for operation 'concat' (localhost)

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.2
 * PHP version: 5.2.2
 * MySQL version: 5.0.41
 * URL: localhost

Hallo,

I try to use the DPL extension. So I installed it and as an exampled I typed the following code:

 category = Management 

The result was this error message:

The DPL extension (version 1.7.4) produced a SQL-statement which lead to a Database error... After the SQL-statement the Error message is shown:

The error message is: Illegal mix of collations (utf8_general_ci ...) for operation 'concat' (localhost).

Do I have to change any settings in my database? Or do you have any idea?

Thank you for your endeavors.

(RESOLVED) Configuring MediaWiki SMTP to send email to users

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.0

I am trying to configure the SMTP to send users email. I put the SMTP array of parameters in the localsettings.php file. But I get an error when I try to click the 'email password' dialog from the login page. In the error below, it mentions the incluses\UserMailer.php line 108.... that is the line (	require_once( 'Mail.php' );). Where is the Mail.php file located? I don't see it under the includes folder. Is there a wiki page the describes the complete instructions for configuring MediaWiki mail?

(RESOLVED) Extension:Farmer and transwiki problems

Also, when I try to transwiki some Wikimedia files with large page histories, this notice happens:

Anyone know how to fix this??

Thanks. --82.42.237.84 15:39, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Simplest fix? Don't use Farmer, it's very outdated extension. The actual bug might be caused by the fact that the wfMsgHtml call is inside a throw new MWException call - I don't know if you're supposed to translate exceptions and I don't think that MediaWiki core software does so. For the second error, increase your PHP's time limit by setting something like this in your wiki's LocalSettings.php: set_time_limit(900); -- Sayuri 13:34, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi,

I have a requirement withing organisation to have RSS feed enabled for some pages i create. For example say one user is creating a page called 'Sales plan'. Now users who are interested in knowing updates happening to that page only should be able to add a RSS feed for updates of this "Sales Plan" page alone. The recent changes function for RSS/Atom feed gives feed xml every time a change is made to "any" page. What ever i have mentioned is it possible to do any extention or feature list of Mediwiki. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Problem with Wgraph extension output not rendered by MediaWiki

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.3
 * PHP version:  	5.2.6 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.67
 * URL: n/a but the exact same problem can be seen on bottom of http://s23.org/wiki/Sandbox

Installed Wgraph extension. The images get produced ( confirmed ), however on the wiki page I can see only 

(made with Wgraph)

Tried to put $wgRawHtml = true in LocalSettings.php but this didn't change anything.

Solution: There is a problem with the way Wgraph inserts it's HTML output. To correct it, in your Wgraph.php file, find the lines global $wgRawHtml; $wgRawHtml = true; and comment them out for security reasons. Then find the line: return $result; //. $wgraph. ":". $thumbResolution ."/".$resolution. ', '.$clipThumb. '---'. $clipImg; and replace it with

return array( $result, noparse => true, isHTML => true ); More information on why this works can be found on http://jimbojw.com/wiki/index.php?title=Raw_HTML_Output_from_a_MediaWiki_Parser_Function

(RESOLVED)Problem with sysop/bureaucrat permissions after creating account with UserLoadFromSession hook
Apologies for the length of this post, but I'm utterly stymied after working on this for ages.
 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.0
 * PHP version: 5.2.6 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.67
 * URL: http://ntm-igdev02.nott.ime.reuters.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page (internal)

I am setting up 1.13.0 as a new system and will soon (I hope!) be migrating the content from an older version to it. This migration includes using our company SSO and I've successfully used the UserLoadFromSession hook to implement this. However, there is one glitch: I currently have two IDs, one original one (SS) for use without the hook and another (Sam.Sexton) that was created and is authenticated by the hook. Both of these are assigned as Sysop and Bureaucrat, but these permissions are only effective for the original user (SS) - as the other one (Sam.Sexton), I don't see the restricted special pages.

(first | last) View (previous 50) (next 50) (20 | 50 | 100 | 250 | 500)


 * SS ?(bureaucrat, sysop)
 * Sam.Sexton ?(bureaucrat, sysop)
 * WikiSysop ?(bureaucrat, sysop)

(first | last) View (previous 50) (next 50) (20 | 50 | 100 | 250 | 500)

I have made the following observations and investigations.


 * 1) The database records I create with the hook differ from the original (SS) record in that:
 * 2) user_touched is initially nulls (\0\0\0 rather than NULL) despite my setting it - but this is corrected by later activity.
 * 3) user_email_token and user_email_token_expires for Sam.Sexton are NULL, but I've copied values from SS and that made no difference.

I've looked at Skin.php and added this hack to see what was going on:

/* Hack to see what's going on. Sam 090108 */ wfDebugBacktrace; $rpages = SpecialPage::getRestrictedPages; wfDebug("Restricted pages for $wgUser->mName\n"); foreach ( $rpages as $rpage) { wfDebug(" $rpage\n"); }		/* end hack */


 * but nothing was added to the debug file, which is receiving other debug info.


 * I have even resorted to running truss on navigating to Special Pages as both users. There was a rather curious difference between the two - the one for Sam.Sexton (created with the hook) contained several calls to resolvepath that weren't in the truss for SS. This relates to symbolic link resolution - not unreasonably, as htdocs/wiki is a link to the files in my home dir for easy maintenance - and I've not seen any problems related to that arrangement. However, as I didn't get those calls for SS, I copied the files so that the link was removed and all files native - but that made no difference.


 * My suspicions are that there's something I'm missing in the new account creation process, but for the life of me I can't see what! I suspect that there must be another criterion other than sysop/bureaucrat group membership required to see the restricted pages, but it's escaped my investigations so far. I'd be grateful for any illumination or suggestions on what else to check. Below is the code for the hook and a sample of the log for the db entry creation. Thanks in advance! Any constructive comments on the code will be welcomed - this is not an area in which I am overburdened with experience! ;-)

I've solved this myself at long last - for the full details, see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17077 but in a nutshell, the group membership array is emptied in loadFromDatabase and you need to call saveToCache afterwards to reload it. Obvious, innit?! ;-)

 * And 16:20, 19 January 2009 (UTC) This appears to be related to my problem immediately above - which I have now reported as Bugzilla Bug 17077 - I suggest you watch that as I've not had any response here.
 * And 10:26, 20 January 2009 (UTC) Do you have any more information on this? e.g. Do you use the standard account creation procedure or do you use an alternative method as I have above?
 * And 11:12, 21 January 2009 (UTC) I've solved the problem above - so if you have custom code to create accounts, you probably need to do the same - add a call to $user-saveToCache after loadFromDatabase.

(RESOLVED) Formatting problem after installing extensions

 * PHP 5.2.4-2ubuntu5wm1 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL 4.0.40-wikimedia-log
 * URL: http://www.trialworks.com/wiki

After I install certain extensions, such as: require_once("extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.php"); require_once("$IP/extensions/embed_document.php");

The font's all over the Wiki site appear bigger, affecting formatting. It's almost as if someone zoomed in to 125% size. If I add '#' to those lines it stops them from working, and returns to the layout to normal.

Not quite sure what keywords to search to even figure out what it may be. This is my first experience with MediaWiki.

 * I took a quick look and seems that a PHP file - or maybe even two - is adding a BOM into the generated HTML output. Usually the first line of a page's HTML source code is like this: . Unfortunately on your wiki, something is adding a BOM before the first < tag. To remove the BOMs, you'll need a hex editor of some kind (I use the hex editor plugin for Notepad++) and then comes the tough part - you'll need to track down the files that have a BOM. It might be possible that it's either SyntaxHighlight GeSHi's some file or then it could be LocalSettings.php. -- Sayuri 13:34, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * That's Brilliant! I use Microsoft Expressions to edit various parts of the site (find it easy) and I used it to edit the PHP files. Although I do not see the line I am sure it's there, Expressions tries to put it in as a default.  Thank you!!!


 * Quick update: I took the LocalSettings.php originally made with Expressions, copied it to Notepad, made a new file, and overwrote the original.  Problem resolved.  - Thanks! Karl@trialworks.com

 * PHP 5.2.4-2ubuntu5wm1 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL 4.0.40-wikimedia-log
 * www.trialworks.com/wiki

Hello, This is more of an "advice needed" post. I wanted to use the Upload/Image functions in MediaWiki but I believe I cannot... my webhost does not give me easy access to php.ini and I really don't want to go through the headaches of making them enable uploads in PHP, so I've kind of given up.

I did, however, download EmbedImg Extension and absolutely love it. It lets me take a address to an JPG or PNG file and paste it into the wiki, and in turn it displays the image (Rather than the path). The problem is that it's parameters only let me change size, but not location. I need to be able to align those images "right" with text, so that it all looks good. Aside from the extension, I got around the upload system by writing, in ColdFusion, an upload agent. It lets any of my users - in a super simple fashion - upload an image to the site and obtain the link, which then goes into the Wiki Article. It's really simple but very effective for my needs.

So now, I am just dealing with a formatting issue. It needs to be uber easy for my users. How would you guys/girls handle the alignment or would you really work on getting the Wiki upload stuff to work (btw, I feel my ColdFusion app is easier to use for my users than the Wiki stuff).

Karl @ www.trialworks.com/wiki Thanks!!

Ajax Rating Script
I have a problem with installing the Ajax Rating script in my wiki. I have tried to install it first in a 1.13 version but failed and then I install the 1.10.4 because I have seen to be tested in that version. But when I finish the installation my wiki throw me this Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/george/public_html/mediawiki/extensions/RateArticle.php:69) in /home/george/public_html/mediawiki/includes/WebResponse.php on line 10

 * PHP version: 5.2.6-2ubuntu4 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.67-0ubuntu6
 * URL: (in my laptop not ready in the net)

I don't know what to do at all. The only solution I found is to install some other rating or reviewing extension

ps. In your extension matrix you are saying tha the version 2 is stable for all versions.I haven't find anywhere the version2 or a manual for instalation.

Cannot preload pages in Main namespace using PreloadManager

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.2
 * PHP version: 5.2.6-2ubuntu4 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.67-0ubuntu6
 * URL: Not available - is on a company intranet
 * Relevant extensions:
 * Extension:StubManager version: 1.3.2
 * Extension:PreloadManager version 1.1.0

For our wiki we (a collegue and I) would like to have the capability to preload newly created pages with name space specific templates, including the main name space. It seems like Extension:PreloadManager should be able to help us acheive this, so we have installed the extensions StubManager and PreloadManager in accordance with the instructions (to the best of our knowledge). We have tested that we the extension works, when we try to preload a page in, e.g., the Template name space by creating a preload template on the page MediaWiki:PreloadManager/Template. That works fine!

However, we cannot figure out how to preload pages in the main name space?!? As we understand the documentation, we should have the main namespace preload template in MediaWiki:PreloadManager/Main, but that does not work for us. We have also tried to place it simply under MediaWiki:PreloadManager and MediaWiki:PreloadManager/(Main), but no success either. I have tried to enquire about this on Extension talk:PreloadManager for quite some days without success. That is the reason I am bringing the issue forth here on the Support desk to perhaps get more eyes on it hoping to find a solution.

In case it is not possible to preload main name space pages using PreloadManager, are there then other possibilities for doing that?

We would also like to enquire how we can preload the summary field shown during File upload with a fixed template?

Thank you for your time.

(RESOLVED) Cite extension
I'm attempting to install the Cite extension as directed at Extension:Cite/Cite.php. What does the phrase, "Note: Cite.php requires hooks in the main MediaWiki code found in HEAD", mean? Steve3849 05:38, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

 * PHP version: 4.4.9
 * MySQL version: 5.0.67
 * Although I do not know the answer to my above question I did see that in the additional files included in the 'Cite snapshot' there is a mention of 'hooks' in one file, "citeParserTests.txt". So, I included all the files in the Cite folder rather than just the aforementioned (3) files in the installation directions and the Cite extension now works fine.

Activating MATH/Tex leads to "Failed to parse (PNG conversion failed)" because of wrong temp file name

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.3

Hi,

I want to activate Tex support in my mediawiki. I have followed the corresponding how to on mediawiki.org. But I get still the error: Failed to parse (PNG conversion failed)

I digged into the code and came to the following point:

The Code fails in include/Math.php at this position if( !file_exists( "$wgTmpDirectory/{$this->hash}.png" ) ) { return $this->_error( 'math_image_error' ); }

When I echo'ed this line I get this on the screen: C:\Programme\xampp\htdocs\wiki/images/tmp/daa63ef966cc412541190bc8794731de.png

But when I look into the directory I get the following file name: 6080_daa63ef966cc412541190bc8794731de.tex

Have anybody an idea what went wrong? Why is the file called '.tex' and is prefixed with '6080_'?

Thank you very much for your advise in advance ...

MediaWiki oes not find texvc - but texvc exist in the math folder !!!

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.3
 * PHP version: 5.2.4
 * MySQL version: 5.0.51a
 * URL: not public ... local network

Hi there,

I need help, cause I tried serveral times to setup texvc for our MediaWiki. I downloaded and installed the latest version of OCaml and run the 3 steps:

1. Change to the "math" sub-directory of your MediaWiki install 2. Run 'make' (or 'gmake' if GNU make is not your default make). This should produce the texvc executable. 3. Enable $wgUseTeX and $wgEnableUploads in your LocalSettings.php and everything should work.

I've seen no errors during the make but the MediaWiki does still not find the texvc !!! I checked the math folder and there is an texvc...

how can I resolve the problem ???

thank you !!!

 * PHP version: 5.2.6 (apache)

- add Gadget-popups.js script - add Gadget-navpop.css script - add * Navigation_popups|popups.js|navpop.css in the Gadgets-definition page - create Gadget-Navigation_popups page for a description of the gadget

I then selected this gadget under the Preferences/Gadgets section, and I did bypass the browser's cache but the popup gadget still didn't work.

I installed another gadget, wikEd, to make sure that my installation procedure was correct, and this gadget works fine.

(RESOLVED) Problem passing $user back from UserLoadFromSession hook

 * MediaWiki	1.13.0
 * PHP	5.2.6 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL	5.0.67-log
 * URL: (internal)

I am having a problem with the UserLoadFromSession hook.

In the hook, I use User::newFromName to obtain the user object and if it's a new user, I authenticate it with our SSO service and add it to the database; otherwise I update $user and return, leaving $result as null. I've battled with this code a fair bit, but have learned from looking at CASAuthentication's use of this hook and believe that I'm now doing things "the right way". However, although $user is set up as expected when I leave the hook, $this in loadFromSession doesn't contain the values I've set up in the hook. I've even used the ugliness of var_dump to splat the $this array onto the screen and all the variables are null.

Here's the relevant part of the code and the deugging output. I can supply the full hook code if necessary, but am trying to keep this report as succinct as possible.

1. Bits of the hook: <?php

global $wgHooks;

$wgHooks['UserLoadFromSession'][] = 'fnUserAuthTGST';

...

function fnUserAuthTGST($user, &$result) {

$fname  = "D3UserAuthTGST::fnUserAuthTGST"; $SSO    = "https://xxxxxx.com/login/sso/SSOService?app=d3wiki&returnURL="; $errpage = "http://d3wiki.xxxxx.com/d3wikiaccess.php"; $allowed = 300; # Five minutes diff is allowed. logTGST("Page: " . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); ....

// This returns the user object if it exists: $u  = User::newFromName($userName); $uid = $u->getId;

logTGST("After newFromName, uid is $uid");

if ( $uid == 0 ) { .....

$user = $u;

$myid  = $user->getId; // Trap this for debugging purposes ... logTGST("About to exit hook with user->mId = $myid"); return true; // To continue loading the user...

} // fnUserAuthTGST 2. Hacked section of User.php: private function loadFromSession { global $wgMemc, $wgCookiePrefix;

$result = null; wfRunHooks( 'UserLoadFromSession', array( $this, &$result ) ); >      wfDebugLog('TGST', '  TGST: loadFromSession result is ' . $result . "\n"); >      wfDebugLog('TGST', "  TGST: user id in \$this is $this->mId and name is $this->mName\n"); if ( $result !== null ) {

3. Output from logTGST and wfDebugLog: 2009-02-09 14:17:04 Cookie exploded: 1234567, Sam.Sexton@xxxx.com, Sam, Sexton 2009-02-09 14:17:04 After newFromName, uid is 3 2009-02-09 14:17:04 DB entry found for employee id 1234567 with user id 3 and name Sam.Sexton 2009-02-09 14:17:04 About to exit hook with user->mId = 3 2009-02-09 14:17:04 wikidbD3-d3_:  TGST: loadFromSession result is 2009-02-09 14:17:04 wikidbD3-d3_:   TGST: user id in $this is  and name is As indicated above, mId is set when leaving the hook, but immediately after the call to it, this (and other values) aren't set in $this.

I really can't see what I'm doing wrong - can anyone else? Or is it a real bug?

—And 10:34, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

call_user_func(Ikariam_ParserFunction_Setup) function.call-user-func: First argument is expected to be a valid callback

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.2
 * PHP version: 5.1.6 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.45
 * URL: vestia.ikariam-wiki.nl

I wanted to add my own parser to MediaWiki.

For example to parse:

So I started out with the obvious sample and rewrote it a bit to:

<?php

$wgExtensionFunctions[] = 'Ikariam_ParserFunction_Setup'; $wgHooks['LanguageGetMagic'][] = 'Ikariam_ParserFunction_Magic';
 * 1) Define a setup function
 * 1) Add a hook to initialise the magic word

function _Ikariam_ParserFunction_Setup { global $wgParser; # Set a function hook associating the "example" magic word with our function $wgParser->setFunctionHook( 'IKcity', 'Ikariam_ParserFunction_City' ); }

function Ikariam_ParserFunction_Magic( &$magicWords, $langCode ) { # Add the magic word # The first array element is case sensitive, in this case it is not case sensitive # All remaining elements are synonyms for our parser function $magicWords['IKcity'] = array( 0, 'IKcity' ); # unless we return true, other parser functions extensions won't get loaded. return true; }

function Ikariam_ParserFunction_City( &$parser, $param1 = , $param2 = , $param3 = , $param4 = ) { # The parser function itself # The input parameters are wikitext with templates expanded # The output should be wikitext too $output = "<b>Stad : $param1\n"; $output .= "CityID : $param2\n"; $output .= "IslandID : $param3\n"; $output .= "Type : $param4</b>\n"; return $output; }
 * 1)       return $parser->insertStripItem( $output, $parser->mStripState );
 * 2)       return array($output, 'noparse' => true, 'isHTML' => true);

?>

And I added this to my LocalSettings.php file:

$wgIkariamServer = "http://s1.ikariam.nl/"; $wgIkariamImages = "http://ikariam-wiki.nl/images/"; require_once( "$IP/extensions/Ikariam/Ikariam.php" );

I have been reading and searching but the error is propably too obvious so it might be just in front of me but I can't seem to find where I went wrong.

Hugo.

I tried to find different versions of the ConfirmAccount code without success. If I click on Download Snapshot I get a message saying: No such extension "ConfirmAccount" even though the extension is there in the list.

I also tried to download MW 1.11.1 to see if pipeList was an available function in Language.php there but I can't find it there either. Is there something I have missed?
