(OUTDATED) Sphinx integration giving PHP error - Function name must be a string

 * MediaWiki: 1.5.8
 * PHP: 5.2.5 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 5.0.51a-community

Hi, I have configured mediawiki for Sphix search as per the wiki

But I am getting this error

Fatal error: Function name must be a string in D:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\mediawiki\includes\Setup.php on line 317

Problem seems to be in this line,

$wgExtensionFunctions[] = array( &$setup, 'setup' );

this must be something related to PHP which I am not familiar with.

I am running all this on windows XP and the Sphinx indexing etc is working fine. I tested this through the command prompt

I'm trying to install the Social Profile extension at my mediawiki, but I've run into a couple of issues. It says I have to run the install.php file from the command line but I have no idea what that means. What command line? Where do I do this at? Also, I'm getting an error message:

 * See Command line interface to find out about command line in general. Assuming you are a Windows user and your server is Unix-like, you should download PuTTY remote shell client and use it to connect to your server through SSH. Once you have opened the connection, type cd your wiki directory/extensions/SocialProfile in PuTTY and then type php install.php. If all this seems a bit too complicated, you can alternatively run the required SQL queries through phpMyAdmin interface.
 * The "error" you reported is not an error to be exact, but rather a PHP notice. In most servers, PHP notices are disabled. You should be able to turn off error reporting by adding the following piece of code into your wiki's LocalSettings.php: error_reporting(0);
 * In any case, the PHP notices mentioned above will be fixed in SocialProfile version 1.2. which will hopefully be released in near future.
 * And at least in the case of SocialProfile extension, you are more likely to get an answer on Extension talk:SocialProfile (where you initally posted this question) rather than here. -- Sayuri 20:47, 17 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, but why do I need to connect through an SSH? I can access everything on my domain.  Is there some place to get the SQL query so I can just do it manually through phpMyAdmin?  I looked at the file and it's not written in a way I'm use to seeing.

(OUTDATED) decimal separators in parsing on European Wikis

 * MediaWiki: 1.13.0
 * PHP: 5.1.6 (apache2filter)
 * MySQL: 4.1.20
 * URL: http://de.wiki-products.org/

In many European countries/languages we use "," instead of "." as decimal separators in numbers. We write 10,4 kg instead of 10.4 kg. Now, this is problematic because the mediawiki parser functions don't respect this conventions and return errors on numbers with commas. This alone wouldn't be a problem, if we could adopt our whole wiki to the US convention (writing all numbers with "." instead of ","). However, this is impossible because other extensions (like semantic mediawiki) respect the European convention and adopt their calculations according to the language to which the wiki is configured. Semantic Mediawiki, installed on a German Wiki, therefore cannot handle numbers with "." as decimal separator. This is a big problem because we need both extensions on our wiki. The best solution would therefore be to find a way to make parser functions handle numbers with ",". Is there a way to do so?

This would solve many problems for us...

(OUTDATED) Problems with CentralNotice from MediaWiki subversion repository

 * Extension:CentralNotice: (Version r36357)

Main and extensions are trunk of MediaWiki subversion repository.

As of 2008-09, the extension that is present in subversion causes significant page load problems. This is most likely by including a call to a third-site JavaScript, which does not load. Page source of pages generated when the extension is enabled, includes:



This call is not present on the Wikipedia site itself. On en.wikipedia, CentralNotice is given as the same version: (Version r36357). However, the results seems to be different.

Hello support-desk,

I recently installed the SpecialTaskList-extension and the dependend extensions DynamicPageList and ParserFunctions.

After that, i wasn't able to connect to my wiki mainpage (every other mediawiki site works fine). I got an "Page can not be displayed"-error.

If I comment the DynamicPageList-extension in the LocalSettings.php everything seems to work fine except the tasklist (because DPL is needed).

How can I reactivate the DPL extension without getting this error? Maybe ther is a configuration faillure... I have made no changes to the extension.

I've just deployed MediaWiki for the new Wiki above. I'd like to add the ConfirmAccount extension but before deploying it I've been testing it on my local site.

On the test site, the system allows a new user to request an account and successfully sends an e-mail to the new user. When the user click the link, or pastes it into a browser, a page appears with this message:

Invalid confirmation code. The code may have expired.

The wiki works well otherwise. What am I overlooking? I don't want to try deploying this to the main site until I get it working on my test site. I notice that the MediaWiki version is different for the two sites. I've checked that the ConfirmAccount extension version is correct for the application. Could that be the problem, and maybe the main site will work without a problem?

I have installed the ConfirmAccount extension and was in the process of installing the reCaptcha Extension. To say that the recaptcha.net page is quite brief, and it leaves a few things out is a big understatement.

It initially appears to work, but ultimately ends with a fatal error Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class SimpleCaptcha in /home/royboucher/www/test/wiki/extensions/ConfirmEdit/ConfirmEdit_body.php on line 66

(RESOLVED) FCKEditor integration fails with current SVN MediaWiki 1.14 rev. 43724

 * MediaWiki: 1.14alpha
 * PHP: 	5.2.0-8+etch13 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 	5.0.32-Debian_7etch8-log
 * URL: http://160.45.63.55/test/Main_Page ; this page is ok, but an error occurs when clicking on edit (we have no anonymous access, however).

The integration of FCK was attempted with an up-to-date MediaWiki and following the instructions. A record of the attempts is openly available. About the documentation: Note that there is some confusion with the extension already checked out in MediaWiki extensions, which is marked BROKEN and was not used. Or should it be?) The error message is:

Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to Skin::setupUserCss must be an instance of OutputPage, none given, called in /usr/share/mediawiki/FCKeditor/FCKeditor.body.php on line 341 and defined in /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/includes/Skin.php on line 560

See also http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:FCKeditor_(by_FCKeditor_and_Wikia)#Not_Working_1.14_r40286 for same error experienced by another user several months ago. Any help or experience with this?

(OUTDATED) Local authentication on Linux, NIS

 * MediaWiki version
 * MediaWiki 	1.13.2
 * PHP 	5.1.6 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL 	5.0.45

I am trying to find an extension that will allow me to use local authentication on the linux server to authenticate users.

I use NIS on the Linux cluster and I'd like to have the option of using my NIS users edit the wiki.

I'd like to have the NIS groups be setup to control the access and editing of the wiki.

I think I can use Active Directory, but that is not what I need to do in this case.

On google there is a UnixLocalAuth.php extension, but I cannot find anywhere to download it.

(OUTDATED) Using the Boilerplate extension - Help needed.

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.5 (cgi)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.45-community-log
 * URL: http://www.jefferson-wiki.com/wiki/

I am trying to start a new wiki and need to give our users a predefined form to help them begin to add content to our wiki. Other wiki's use scaffolds to help build a new wiki. It helps to give new users some structure to help them build a new wiki. The closest thing I could find on MediaWiki is the Boilerplate. It is supposed to let the admin give the users some predefined text for the wiki to help them get started. I am very new to this and am running into problems. I need some help!

I am seeking information on the use of the Boilerplate extension. I have followed the instructions and have copied the code from Boilerplate.php to the extensions directory. However, where should the Boilerplate file be located and what are the contents of the file?

In the instructions it says:

Step 3: Create a page named Boilerplate on your MediaWiki site. Whatever is included in this Boilerplate page will serve as the default template for any new pages created on your site.

But they do not give any details on where the file should go. How to I point to the file? What is the text of the Boilerplate file look like? If someone can show me the syntax of the file contents and how to use them to create a form for the user to fill in when creating a new article that is exactly what I need. An example Biolerplate file would be even better. Does anyone have an example of a site that uses the Boilerplate that would be good too.

Thanks, Steve
