Extension talk:Cargo

Referata
I've read about this new extension on mediawiki-l. Thanks for working on it, I'm impressed. I've read the FAQ item about performance and I wonder if you already have enough data to prefer Cargo on some of your wikis out of performance concerns, or whether you'd need some testing.

In particular, as our generous host for http://wikipapers.referata.com/, you just have to ask and I'll do anything possible to migrate. Especially if it reduces hosting costs/effort for you. --Nemo 01:09, 17 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm glad you think it's interesting! I have no performance data on Cargo yet. I didn't understand the second part - are you asking about having Cargo on Referata, or something else? Yaron Koren (talk) 23:45, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'm asking about Cargo on Referata. If switching to this extension makes your job of running Referata wikis easier, I'd feel obliged to help. --Nemo 23:51, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh, I see. I do plan to install Cargo on Referata, though it wouldn't require any switching - just adding the additional extension. I will probably do that in the next few weeks. Thanks for your offer to help. Yaron Koren (talk) 00:55, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Compatibility with SMW
Hi Yaron

Will future versions of SF support SMW as well as Cargo or will new versions of SF only support Cargo?

Many thanks

 * I have no plans to drop support for SMW in SF. Yaron Koren (talk) 23:46, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Not working
I am basically c/p the code from the example pages and change the references to the properties, but I fail to get it going. I always get the following two errors:
 * storing it:
 * This template defines the table "Name". This table has not been created yet.


 * querying it:
 * Error: no database table exists for "Name".

I do not get it. --Temptuousinsolence (talk) 11:15, 20 January 2015 (UTC)


 * You're just missing one step: in the template page, you need to select the "Recreate data" tab, then press the button. That should be explained better in the documentation. Yaron Koren (talk) 13:55, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Error on Special:ViewData
I have a fresh MW+Cargo installation on localhost. I proceded thru the Quick-Start-Tutorial. Everything seems fine. Tables were created. Forms are working, Drilldown is running, too.

But on Special:ViewData I only get the error: "A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software."

I have: MediaWiki 1.24.1 PHP 	5.6.3 (apache2handler) MySQL 	5.6.21 Cargo	0.5.1

Any suggestions? Thanks for help!
