Problem downloading from code site
I am trying to download the bundle for implementation.

When i goto the supplied links, i see the 7zip, tar-bal, and zip files but when i goto click the link and download it fails to download the file. No errors or response out of Win7 once the download is refused, just failure to download.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Goldbishop (talk) 02:19, 3 July 2012 (UTC)


 * The download links are working fine as far as I can tell --Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 19:16, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

externals vs. externals.dev
Hi SMW Ninjas! Downloaded using SVN and used the ext-dev option. Noticed that ApprovedRevs and SemanticFormsInputs are not in externals.dev. Could I just include them in externals.dev and do make ext-dev, or is there a specific reason why those two extensions have been ommitted? Thanks in advance! --Jnatividad (talk) 18:12, 31 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi - no, there's no reason why they're not included in externals.dev - that file is just not well-maintained. You can definitely feel free to add them. Yaron Koren (talk) 19:57, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Semantic-Bundle dir or SemanticBundle dir ??
Hi, I am very new and having problems configuring LocalSettings.php. Could someone who is more experienced than me check the directions on this page? It tells us that the files are to be found in the semantic-bundle directory, but I've downloaded from git, and the default appears to be a directory called SemanticBundle. It it a mistake..? Open Research (talk) 16:41, 9 October 2012 (UTC) So please please, can anyone point to a guide (or help forum) that explains what code to add to LocalSettings.php to enable SemanticBundle after downloading through git? I'm using Mediawiki 1.21 neither the 'require once' nor 'semantic-bundle' appear to work.

I solved the problem by downloading the zip file from the Googledownload page instead, and moving all the extensions up a directory. - but now I'm having a different problem, so perhaps this was a bad move :(


 * I updated the documentation to reflect our move to git and the directory name change from semantic-bundle to SemanticBundle. The old release archives still contain the former name though. --Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 19:21, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Database returned error "1146: Table  doesnt exist
I've been trying to install SMW Bundle all day and now that it has worked, I am having some sort of bug that appears after I edit a page. The text that comes up is:

I see now I need to Initialise SMW I can see that lots of other people have been having the same problem, so I shall leave this here for them. Open Research (talk) 21:38, 9 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry to hear it took you so long to install it. We really should make a more up to date release of the bundle soon and fix the instructions. Anyway, the error you have is because the SMW tables have not been creates since you did not run update.php. --Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 19:23, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

compatibility issue, or: content of ask-query disappears after re-editing
I came across a funny behavior using an ask-query: Part of an ask-query disappears after successfully saving and parsing. Take the following query (german wiki setup):

After re-editing it looks like this - main query-content disappeared:

Set-up:
 * MediaWiki 1.19.2
 * Semantic MediaWiki Version 1.7.1
 * Semantic Bundle Version 20120327

I got the hint, that the integrated tool 'SQFT' is not compatible with SMW > Version 1.6. Is this likely to be the source of the problem? Having installed the latest of all software-bundles and being a MediaWiki and SMW-novice, I do not know, how to replace SQFT.

Any hints are much appreciated! (See also http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:SemanticQueryFormTool#After_saving_the_page.2C_query_results_disappear)

 * Assuming the issue is caused by SQFT - SQFT indeed doesn't work with the latest code. You could try using the Special:RunQuery functionality in Semantic Forms instead - it may be able to do everything you need. Yaron Koren (talk) 13:38, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
