Extension talk:Page Schemas

Change allowed values
If I change the names of the allowed values (e.g. to correct a typo) I get the message "[new name] is not in the list of the allowed values of the ... property". Is it possible to change the spelling of the allowed values?


 * The ReplaceText extension may help with this, if I understand the issue correctly. Yaron Koren (talk) 14:26, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Customise templates
This is similar to a query back in 2014 but I wondered if anything had changed. I would like to add some custom information to the template, but each time I edit the Schema and generate pages, this is lost. (In my case I'd like to add a Cargo query which displays a location on a map.) Is this possible, without having to manually cut and paste each time? Thanks.

 * Still no. There's a lot that could be improved in Page Schemas - it's not that popular an extension, I don't think, so it hasn't gotten a lot of attention. Yaron Koren (talk) 03:30, 22 November 2016 (UTC)


 * That's a shame, as the ability easily to change the data structure and the associated template/form pages seems invaluable. I found it very useful at the start when working things out. Jonathan3 (talk) 00:37, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

tooltips in page forms using Cargo
--138.232.124.69 12:42, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Since switching to Cargo from SMW the tooltips I have on my forms don't display as tooltips. They're just text on the page, even though the schema generator has this notation in it "Show description as pop-up tooltip"


 * I'm guessing that the template is calling #info. That's no longer working because #info is defined by SMW (strangely, SMW includes its own tooltip functionality). I would recommend installing the SimpleTooltip extension - then, if you recreate the template from the schema, the #info calls will hopefully get changed to #tip-text calls.

 * that does it! The new class is actually:  #tip-info  cheers --Anrake (talk) 14:53, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Jobs not running
I've had several Page Schemas jobs in the queue for over 3 days. I'm adding a new category and want to use it to scaffold the template, form and new semantic properties. I've tried all the tricks I can find to force them to run including changing job_attempts to 0, various combinations of $wgJobRunRate and $wgRunJobsAsync but nothing seems to work. Tonight I tried to delete the jobs and run Generate Pages again, but they still got stuck. I even ran update.php and rebuilt the Semantic index. The last time I used Page Schemas was probably last July. Are there any ideas to force these to run?

 * Have you tried calling runJobs.php? Yaron Koren (talk) 14:08, 22 January 2018 (UTC)


 * yeah, many times. --Anrake (talk) 14:43, 22 January 2018 (UTC)


 * And what happens? Yaron Koren (talk) 17:35, 22 January 2018 (UTC)


 * nothing, there's no output, as though the jobs don't exist. Other jobs run, if they exist, but not anything from "pageSchemasCreatePage". showJobs.php outputs 0. --Anrake (talk) 21:19, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Unregistered users may see only certain fields
Is it possible to configure Page Schemas/MediaWiki so that unregistered users are able to see only certain fields?


 * No. Yaron Koren (talk) 00:41, 26 March 2018 (UTC)


 * To bad. Is a woraround possible? --138.232.124.69 12:42, 28 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Could you explain what the need is? Yaron Koren (talk) 19:15, 28 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm using Mediawiki in combination with PageSchemas to create a DB. Until now the DB is only a working tool, but we plan to go online in a few weeks.

Since it is for the moment a private DB there are some fields in our schemas containing notes that are supposed to be only private notes for the contributors.

Is it possible to cofigure MediaWiki/PageSchemas in such a way, that certain fields may not bee seen by unregistered users? --93.70.101.215 07:45, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
