Extension talk:Page Forms

Is there anyway to use this extension with another. If I wanted to use lets say.. the imagemap extension for an input instead of the input types that I can use with the semantic forms already? --198.70.22.217 19:58, 29 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't really understand how that would work. The imagemap extension, as far I know, just arranges links within an image; it doesn't allow for data input. Yaron Koren 00:05, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

You are right, that is a bad example. More along the lines of a flash video extension or something like that. More importantly, just any extension that requires some sort of input. --72.21.245.86 12:44, 30 May 2007 (UTC)


 * There would be no automatic way to combine the extensions, no; but if someone wanted to write code for data entry in Flash (or, say, AJAX), I'd certainly look into combining the two in some way, because that would be a neat feature. Yaron Koren 14:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


 * To continue this discussion a little, is it not possible to be able to use wikitext in any of the input types?? Would that be difficult to implement? --75.107.9.104 02:24, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It's a possible enhancement. Yaron Koren 16:46, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think this would be a wonderful enhancement!!! I think what you have done already is just specatular, but something like this would make me feel like a little boy getting a puppy for the first time!!!--198.70.22.217 17:25, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Help Help
I'm new to the Wikipedia extensions. I tried installing this extension along with the recommended Semantic Wiki as had been instructed. Copied all files and included the statements as instructed into the LocalSettings.php file. But...I'm getting two errors that I'm not sure how to resolve.

I get the following error when I try to create a new template: Fatal error: Class 'SMWInlineQuery' not found in /wiki/extensions/SemanticForms/includes/SF_GlobalFunctions.php on line 161

I also get this error a couple of times if I tried to incorporate a template as part of the form: Fatal error: Cannot access protected property SMW_LanguageEn::$smwDatatypeLabels in /wiki/extensions/SemanticForms/includes/SF_FormPrinter.inc on line 704

I am using the following: * MediaWiki: 1.10.1 * PHP: 5.2.3 (apache2handler) * MySQL: 4.0.18-log

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.


 * It sounds like you don't have Semantic MediaWiki installed; is that possible? Yaron Koren 14:16, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I did install it. I tried running a very simple test with a couple of relations, and it looks like it's picking them up properly.  Is there any way to tell for sure whether it was properly installed or not?


 * If you're still having this problem, please contact me directly; this talk page is a very inefficient way of communicating. In general, that goes for everyone: if you have a question or a problem running this extension, you're better off emailing me directly, or joining the mailing list and posting the problem there.
