Extension:Page Forms/Download and installation

Semantic Forms is heavily tied in with the Semantic MediaWiki extension. Having Semantic MediaWiki installed is a precondition for the Semantic Forms extension: the code will not work without it, and you must have version 1.4 or higher of Semantic MediaWiki.

Download
You can download the Semantic Forms code in either one of these two compressed files:


 * semantic_forms_2.2.1.tar.gz
 * semantic_forms_2.2.1.zip

You can also download the code directly via SVN from the MediaWiki source code repository, at http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/SemanticForms/. From a command line, you can call the following:

svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/SemanticForms/

Packages
You can also download Semantic Forms as part of several software packages:
 * Semantic Bundle - a package of extensions based around Semantic MediaWiki, co-maintained by the author of Semantic Forms
 * SMW+ - a package of extensions based around Semantic MediaWiki and the Halo extension
 * semantic::apps - packages of extensions, forms, templates and properties to turn SMW into a powerful Contact-, Project- or Process-Manager.
 * WikiVX - last updated 2010, current status unknown

In addition, Semantic Forms is available via some Linux distributions, like Debian. These are not recommended, since their version of the software tends to be significantly out of date.

Installation

 * 1) Create a 'SemanticForms' folder, either by extracting a compressed file or downloading via SVN.
 * 2) place the SemanticForms folder within the main MediaWiki 'extensions' folder.
 * 3) In the file LocalSettings.php in the main MediaWiki directory, add the following line below the Semantic MediaWiki extension line (both the main 'include_once' line and the 'enableSemantics' line):
