Avatar Magic Word
Is there any way (or could it be added) to display the avatar of a specified user as a magic word, such as or ? That would enable much greater interaction with social profiles throughout the wiki - in discussions, user listings, requests for adminship and other community business. Gboyers 23:54, 27 January 2012 (UTC)


 * There isn't such a magic word, but creating one should be relatively easy. I'd suggest a filing a ticket on the Bugzilla so that this feature request won't be forgotten. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 12:27, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

If not, are the avatar pics stored with the user's name in their file name? If yes, I could maybe come up with some code to show the user's avatar (something like . Thanks! Stefahn (talk) 13:59, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Jack, I'm very interested in this feature too (I checked the archives and found other users that would love to see this too). Is there any update on the issue?


 * There's the Bugzilla ticket (34008) but besides that, I haven't made any progress regarding this feature (and frankly, it's not very high on my to-do list). The avatar URLs include the database name ($wgDBname), the user's internal, numeric ID number and a letter indicating the size of the avatar. You might want to try taking a look at the wAvatar class in extensions/SocialProfile/UserProfile/AvatarClass.php; the class is somewhat documented nowadays and it even includes some example code which might help you get started. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 14:57, 29 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your quick reply. I now voted for that bug fix ;) I will use another approach in the meantime (without SocialProfile) but would love to see this though. Stefahn (talk) 17:21, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Just a quick note, this has now been implemented. :) UltrasonicNXT (talk)

New messages
Hi, on Mediawiki system, when someone edits the User_talk of another user, it has a notice at the top of the page indicating when the user is online. The extension this time includes the new message system (board), but it only sends an email when someone left a new message on the board. I wonder if there is anyway to display a notification when a user is online? (Or can it be added if there's no way yet?). It may be similiar to the User_talk or having a new button like "My new messages ", with the number of new messages in the parentheses and then link it to Special:UserBoard. The "My new messages " button can be next to the "My talk" button.

Thanks in advance -- Thucproa1 04:11, 29 January 2012 (UTC)


 * It can be done, and extensions such as LiquidThreads have done it (you can see an example on this very wiki &mdash; a default MW instance doesn't have "new messages" link in the top right in the Monobook skin).


 * It's a good idea, although I'm afraid I don't have the time to implement it right now. I'd suggest filing a ticket on the Bugzilla. For now, you can use the  tag (in conjunction with the WikiTextLoggedInOut extension maybe) to display "you have new board messages" etc. to the user. Do note that you need to require the UserWelcome.php file separately by adding   to the wiki's LocalSettings.php. Add the tag to a prominent place, such as the wiki's main page, so that the users will see it after logging in. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 18:20, 29 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I have tested  with the trunk version of this extension, and my MW version is 1.18.0. When the user has a new gift or a relationship request, it displays a notification, but a notice "have new message" is not displayed when user has a new message. Maybe I missed some configuration in LocalSettings.php or something? --Thucproa1 14:39, 30 January 2012 (UTC)


 * UserWelcome doesn't have any configuration, it should work out of the box...if it doesn't, that's definitely a bug; please file it as such on the Bugzilla. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 11:24, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Points System
I get Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach in UserStatsClass.php on line 685 constantly. Is there any way to disable the point calculations? Aedgington 23:15, 4 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Not really. You could disable that warning, though. See below for info on how to do that. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 11:24, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Upload Avatar does not appear to be working - Mediawiki 1.17.2
I am attempting to upload an avatar after installing the extension, but nothing happens - i get no image on the page, and no image is placed in the avatar folder

I have read (either here or in the archive) that the confimation e-mail may be needed to make this work

That is a problem, because my wiki has no mail functionality. Is there a way i can either turn off the e-mail confirmation, or confirm all my users without the mail?

It is a wiki that is restricted to a specific domain, and only a set of specific users can access it, so having this turned of is not a concern for me.
 * does the user or group have upload permissions?. --thorstenveenstra 14:10, 8 February 2012 (CET)
 * did you make your "avatar" folder writable? When you look on folder "avatar" on your server via FTP tool, its "Owner" must be "apache". --Thucproa1 17:18, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 * all administrators and users have upload permissions - i just verified. My server is 2008 R2 and the IIS user has write permissions to the image directory, and the avatars directory inside. Normal file and image uploads work fine.    I try to upload an avatar, and it appears to complete with no issue, but the image is not in the directory and the preview screen (showing all the sizes) is blank.
 * I reinstalled from today's trunk, and it works fine -- sigh -- this has been my situation all week.   Thanks for the help!!

I'm seeing the same problem avatars dir is 777 recursive useing a user w/ all rights norm uploads work fine .... no errors in apache log ... im not sure what to look for next
 * Corrected image folder was in the root not under images

update.php
I am using MAMP and when I go to the maintenance directory from terminal and type $php update.php all I get is an error that says command not found  Help! 24.130.249.87 00:01, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Deleted a table
Hi. I deleted the admin gift table from the database and now the extension doesn't work. I ran the update script hoping to get the table back but it didn't work. How do I re install the extension? Thank you 67.59.193.62 20:42, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

edit - now I'm getting this really bad looking database error that doesn't get fixed if I remove the Required once string from local settings.

Here it is: A database error has occurred Query: SELECT value,exptime FROM `objectcache` WHERE keyname = 'wikiaudio:stats:request_with_session' LIMIT 1 FOR UPDATE Function: SqlBagOStuff::incr Error: 145 Table './wikiaudio/objectcache' is marked as crashed and should be repaired (localhost)

EDIT I fixed the second error with a simple mysql phpmyadmin table repair. Still am not sure how to get the table back however 24.130.249.87 05:23, 28 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Can you enable MySQL query logging temporarily and then run  to see what DB queries are performed against the database?


 * Alternatively you could go the non-geeky route and just run, but that wouldn't be fun at all. (Still, I'm pretty sure that re-running update.php should create the table...) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 11:24, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Problem with uploading avatars for users
Hey all!

I have a wiki, in which users don't have editing permission. I've created a group called 'staff', only which have editing permission. However, I want users to be able to upload avatars to their SocialProfile, and that doesn't work. When a user tries to upload an avatar it says only 'staff' and sysops have that permission. users can edit their profile without a problem.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Asaf

 * I have the same problem. The solution? thks82.51.61.141


 * I'm still not sure what's causing that warning, maybe it's a misconfigured $wgUserStatsPointValues or $wgUserLevels or something. If it bothers you that much and you don't want to turn off error reporting, wrap the offending line in wfSuppressWarnings; and wfRestoreWarnings; so that the line  would look something like this:

Invite Contacts
bringing up an old issue but i was wondering if it will be looked into

Checking the 'Relationship Requests' page for requests and finding none, there is a message stating: 'You have no friend or foe requests. If you want more friends, invite them!'

Following the 'invite them' link will lead to a non existant page, that comes up with this error:

No such special page

You have requested an invalid special page.

A list of valid special pages can be found at Special:Specialpages.

 * It will be looked into whenever someone has the time and resources to do that. Please keep in mind that I'm doing all this on my spare time, without being paid by anyone &mdash; while it can be fun and rewarding at times, it sadly doesn't pay my bills. In addition to that, I have plenty of other online projects to take care of.


 * I committed a (more) updated version of InviteContacts to SVN in r84110 because someone requested it via e-mail; they said they were interested in fixing the extension. InviteContacts was later on removed from SVN due to licensing concerns (apparently it contains parts of some proprietary PHP application), but I wouldn't call that the real problem; I'd call the bad code quality the real problem.


 * If you want to fix it or know someone who'd be interested in fixing it, feel free to! The code is out there after all. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 11:24, 4 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi, it's 2014 and it doesn't work... Is there a plan to fix this problem? Or has somebody fixed the problem? --hollosch (talk) 23:32, 15 January 2014 (UTC)


 * No and no. If you want to write a library/libraries to support importing contacts from major social networking sites and e-mail service providers, you're more than free to. (The original issue with InviteContacts was that it used a proprietary and very ugly PHP library called GetMyContacts; I fiddled around with OpenInviter, but it appears to be just as broken as GetMyContacts.) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 07:21, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Can you add Gravatar support?
Which will be much more convince for users. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zoglun (talk • contribs)


 * Personally I'm not too fond of Gravatar, but I can see why someone would like to use it. You could file a feature request ticket on Bugzilla to get this tracked, but I can't promise that I'd start working on it anytime soon. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 11:24, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Is it really friending?
That is, does it just make friend lists, or is there also a mechanism to get alerts on the activity of friends, or see their activity on some special page, without visiting each one individually? A friend list is a good start, but activity tracking is what makes it social. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Salquint (talk • contribs)


 * Yes, it makes friend lists, but there's also Special:UserActivity, which should show your friends' activity on the site...in practise it seems to also show the activity of friends of your friends. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 11:24, 4 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Cool, I'll try it out, thanks for the info. In my case, I'd want to transclude it onto a page that has other user specific things on it, so this could work ...although I'm not sure how the activity of friends of friends will be met.  --Salquint (talk) 14:32, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

On SQLite?
I use an SQLite DB, the problem is that when I updated my DB, after installing SocialProfile, the DB crashed. Is there any solution. Also, the avatar upload does not work, even using MySQL. I cannot switch to any other DB because of the number of active users.--Muqman 52 (talk) 05:01, 11 May 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't think no-one's ever tested SocialProfile with SQLite &mdash; it may work, but then again it might not; it's been built against and tested almost exclusively on MySQL only.


 * As for avatar issues, try upgrading to r115379. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 15:37, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Turning off sections of the Profile
Is there a way to turn off sections of the Profile; particularly the Other Information and Custom Information tabs. Further, can individual fields be turned off? I would like to pilot SocialProfile in my company but the more personal/consumer/facebook-like fields such as Movies are frowned upon as having no business value OR there is a legal concern about collect personal information in Europe and other countries. --Tim W (talk) 11:27, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Uninstall
Hi, how can i uninstall the extension completly and correctly (database, etc.) ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hollosch (talk • contribs)


 * How can you uninstall something incorrectly? ;-)


 * That being said, uninstallation's pretty much the same as it's for any extension; remove the require_once line and any associated configuration settings from your wiki's LocalSettings.php and drop the database tables created by the extension (gift, system_gift, user_board, user_gift, user_profile, user_relationship, user_relationship_request, user_stats, user_status, user_status_history, user_status_likes, user_system_gift and user_system_messages).


 * Although having the database tables around isn't going to do any harm and it's useful if you decide to reinstall SocialProfile one day. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 15:37, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Install docs
Afternoon - I've just installed the extension on a Wiki I maintain but I don't have command line access to run the install routine (e.g. the update.php) on the hosting package I use.

I've created the tables manually by trawling the folders within the extension but it would be nice if you could package with the source a brief ReadMe that details the table names created and the permissions needed for any subfolders. I'm pretty sure I have them all (and renaming all tables to 'mw_' fooled me :P) - I know perhaps my situation is unusual in not being able to run command line PHP (perhaps not) but I'm not averse to copy/pasting command line SQL and so on. Lyndka@hotmail.co.uk
 * Edited to Add I know you probably know it's happening but the Gift Manager tries to display the Gift Image when you create a Gift - but you haven't uploaded the image for it yet (the image upload seems to try and do the same thing). How feasible to add a 'default' icon something like an exclamation point (!) as the gift image until it's overwritten?

Global settings
Excuse my ignorance; I'm probably missing something obvious, but is there a way to have avatars, profile information, points and user levels update for the same user globally on a wiki family, similar to how it is done on Wikia wikis? Would $wgSharedDB do it? If so, which tables would I need to use? --GeorgeBarnick (talk) 05:00, 5 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Not really, since point data is based on edits, which reside in the  table, which in turn is wiki-specific. You can file a bug report/feature request on our Bugzilla if you wish for such a feature to be implemented one day. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 14:21, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, is it possible to configure the board messages to "private" as default? --hollosch (talk) 00:00, 12 March 2013 (UTC)


 * It's not configurable per se, but you can hack the extension for your purposes to make that option the default. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 14:21, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Frankly, beats me. I just tested this locally on my Windows 7 Ultimate with the ShoutWiki codebase (which in reality is just the normal MediaWiki stack + a bunch of extensions + some strange hacks against edge case fatal errors and whatnot) by running update.php from CLI and it worked flawlessly. Try again, maybe? You could also post details about your environment &mdash; I can see that you're using Windows and XAMPP, but that doesn't tell me much. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 20:11, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for getting back to me. My environment is as follows:

MediaWiki - 1.20.3 PHP - 5.4.7 (apache2handler) MySQL - 5.5.27 OS - Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium

I've tried multiple times to get this extension working on my current localhost wiki with constant failure, but oddly, I just setup a new "test" localhost wiki with only this extension added (as well as the other extensions that are included with stock MW 1.20.3), and it did work flawlessly.

I'm not sure what the trouble is, but if I find out what caused the problem, I'll send you a bug report either here or the Bugzilla, whichever would be more convenient for you.

(My current guess is that it is either an error in my SQL database, or a conflict with another extension I installed that is causing database conflicts. I suspect it may be the latter, as I've tried quite a few extensions before SocialProfile, and I'm sure I'd notice other problems if my database had an error in the user tables, but I plan to test both theories)

Avatar uploads don't seem to do anything
I finally got SocialProfile set up and functional, but the "upload avatar" feature feature seems to be functional but doesn't actually do anything.

For example, I will take a .gif or .jpg, select it and wait for it to upload. There will be no error message or any sign it failed, but all the preview pictures of the file I attempted to upload as my avatar are blank.

The avatar folder is in my image upload directory, and the stock avatar picture provided shows up on my profile page, and the avatar upload log even records all my avatar upload attempts, but the actual upload just silently fails to actually do anything.

Help would be appreciated.

Hello, I've got a very frustrating problem and I'm in desperate need of help.

The whole SocialProfile thing is just fantastic, and it works great until I try to upload an avatar. The standard avatar image link is broken, and whenever I try to upload a new avatar, this irritating error is showing: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach in /storage/content/...../public_html/extensions/SocialProfile/UserStats/UserStatsClass.php on line 611 When I look at line 611 it shows nothing that is logical to my eyes. I need help, my users won't be able to upload any avatars! And perhaps I should say - you can upload files using the standard MediaWiki file uploader. And the images I try to upload as an avatar should work.

 * This is a custom, site-specific hack and generally speaking it's rather impossible to debug issues such as this one without knowing what else has been changed. If you take a look at the HEAD (newest) version of /extensions/SocialProfile/UserProfile/UserProfilePage.php, you'll see that line 193 is way different from yours. In fact, SocialProfile has never included a function called.


 * Anyway, what's causing this issue is rather bad code or to be more specific, bad assumptions. It is assumed that  returns a multi-dimensional array and we can just access it like this:  . In your case, the function has not returned what this line expects. Changing the line   to this should shut up the notice you were seeing:


 * And finally, if this was happening on a production server, you probably should turn  off in your php.ini and instead ensure that notices, warnings, etc. are logged (  is set to   and   points to a file that the webserver user has read & write access to). --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 14:01, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Yes, generally speaking it's difficult to open nonexistent files. UserStatus (the version that currently ships with SocialProfile) was developed as a Google Summer of Code 2011 project (more about the history can be found on the social tools page). Like most developers out there, Zhenya tested his code against MySQL(/MariaDB) only.


 * Personally speaking, I've never written PostgreSQL code before today. Postgres is somewhat supported by core, but most extensions do not support it. As always, you are free to file a bug on Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/) about this, but I can assure you that it will not be a high-priority one. I don't have Postgres installed nor any plans to install it and test SocialProfile against it, and judging by comments on bug #51441, there are some rather fascinating DBMS-specific issues on Postgres. My suggestion? Use MySQL/MariaDB. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:34, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Points Reset
Is there an easy way to reset everyone's score? Also, is there a reason why the scores would initially start fresh at 0 and only include edits made after the installation of the extension, and then all the sudden it updates the points to include all of the edits since the creation of the wiki? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mgunnin (talk • contribs)


 * Visit Special:UpdateEditCounts. You need to have the updatepoints user right before you can access this special page. The only reason why such a reset would happen if someone had visited Special:UpdateEditCounts. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:34, 24 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah I understand that but if I wanted to just completely reset everyone to 0 points, is there anyway to do that other than completely re-installing? Mgunnin (talk) 06:28, 27 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure why you would want to do that. Care to elaborate? (I'm just curious.)


 * In any case, this SQL query should do it:


 * It gives everyone 1000 points (that's what all users start out with, at least after you've run Special:UpdateEditCounts) and sets their edit count in the stats table to 0 (just to clarify, this has nothing to do with MediaWiki core it and it won't mess with your users' real edit counts in any way, shape or form).

Localization
Why SocialProfile doesn't use translatewiki.net anymore? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 91.98.122.229 (talk • contribs)


 * As I explained on my talk page, it was removed over a year ago with no explanation (nor was I ever contacted) and my changeset to have it readded has gone unnoticed. So, long story short, you probably should ask their staff instead as I don't have the slightest clue. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:02, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Special:UpdateProfile Not Resolving To Edit Window
I updated my wiki to MediaWiki 1.21.2, then updated the installed SocialProfile extension to e812758, the latest version.

Now when I click on  to update my profile, the edit window fails to appear. Instead the browser will try to resolve to the edit screen, but never does. What's going on? How can I fix this?

Davydog (talk) 02:41, 21 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid you'll have to be a bit more specific than that. What do you mean by "the edit window fails to appear"? And where do you "click on Special:UpdateProfile"?


 * When you're viewing your own profile (while logged in, obviously), there are multiple links to Special:UpdateProfile and its various "subpages", so to say. Clicking on the normal MediaWiki edit link basically redirects you to User:Your name (or User profile:Your name, depending on if you've chosen the social user page or the wiki user page to use as the default). While not ideal (it probably should redirect to Special:UpdateProfile instead of the user's user page), this behavior is intentional.


 * As far as I'm concerned, it works just as it has worked before. Sounds like what you're experiencing is either related to your web server's configuration and/or your MediaWiki configuration. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:02, 21 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Still having issues after much time spent attempting to resolve them. You asked:
 * 1. What do you mean by "the edit window fails to appear"?


 * 1a. After clicking on either the  menu link or the   section link, the page goes blank while the browser window continuously attempts to resolve to something.
 * and


 * 2. And where do you "click on Special:UpdateProfile"?
 * 2a. I click on either the  link where the top menu items are on my UserProfile page (when I'm logged in, of course) or on the   section link.


 * Other Issues
 * Attempting to remove another user as "friend" produces this error:


 * Attempting to add another user as friend produces this error:


 * Clicking on one of the gift images produces this (even though the update.php was run several times):

A database error has occurred. Did you forget to run maintenance/update.php after upgrading?

 * Thank you for the clarifications, I've fixed the other three issues, so (de)friending, (de)foeing and viewing a gift should work again. Please update your SocialProfile (or manually apply 92163, 92164 and 92165).


 * As for the issue with Special:UpdateProfile...I'm afraid I'm still not able to reproduce it anywhere. It works on my local development setup, it works on many production setups and it works on the social tools development wiki, which is running the latest code (git HEAD). --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 01:20, 27 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I've been trying everything I can think of to generate error messages, including inserting the following into my  file, underneath the  :


 * Even that didn't work, however. Ironically, after much performance tuning on the wiki, I was able to briefly make the  edit window briefly appear. But a repeated attempt brought the same blank screen and spinning browser.


 * Your fix for the database error described above seemed to work, however.
 * -Davydog (talk) 03:50, 4 November 2013 (UTC)


 * JavaScript Error?
 * I just found a clue as to what might be causing the issue. A possible JavaScript error.


 * When I disallow JavaScript on the browser, the formatting of the SocialProfile page is skewed, but clicking on a  link brings up the edit window. Of course I must re-enable JavaScript to save any changes, but that produces the never-resolving browser again.


 * Interestingly, I was able to make a few updates to my SocialProfile page, click the save button, switch off JavaScript after the browser window failed to resolve, then abandon the never-resolving page. Despite all that, my updates appeared to be saved anyway.


 * Hope this helps...

Board = status update?
So is the Board like a Facebook status update? Leucosticte (talk) 06:02, 21 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Boards are like "walls" on Facebook, if my terminology is correct (I'm not a Facebook user).

Restriction of profile and avatar visibilty
Could someone add the option of restricting profile (and avatar) visibility, as this might be useful on wikis with restricted edit modes. For example, if login, plus email confirmation is required to edit pages, maybe it should be required to view profiles as well.--Myrtonos (talk) 13:54, 22 October 2013 (UTC)


 * From a technical point of view, this sounds rather easy to implement. However, there are other associated questions, such as:


 * Should the users have some say over this matter? IMHO, they should, which would require implementing a GUI for changing these settings (which in reality would most likely translate to "just slap the options to Special:UpdateProfile/preferences and be done with it")
 * How fine-grained should the permissions be?
 * and of course:
 * When should these restrictions be available & editable? Only when a wiki is somehow locked down? Always (a.k.a "out-of-the-box")? Something else?

 * While I agree this is a bit of an annoyance, it's not something I see being changed in the extension, but what you can do is remove or comment out lines 95-97 of /extensions/SocialProfile/UserProfile/UserProfile.php. After that, you should be able to edit the namespace like normal, and still have the ability for user profiles to appear on the user page. --GeorgeBarnick (talk) 02:44, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

How to get to upload avatar or change profile
Using mediawiki 1.21 i installed SocialProfile extension and all databases and settings are done but how in the world can i get to the upload avatart or edit userprofile pages?

In other words. Where is the interface for this extension —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 145.72.98.1 (talk • contribs)


 * See the screenshots. Basically there are various different special pages and other interfaces. You can access the avatar uploading special page as well as the special page to edit profile info via your own user page (Special:MyPage). --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 07:21, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Tnx for the reply. I see special pages indeed but in the profile pages there is nothing to see. If i open a user page of a user i just made it says. There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, or edit this page.

I can give gifts and so on but there are no profiles pages like the one seen in the mentioned screenshots.

UPDATE: If i go to http://  /wiki/index.php/Special:UpdateProfile i see the pages as mentioned so i can now indeed edit my userprofile. Next question. How do i get this info on my userpage?

UPDATE2: I solved my problem of no userprofileinfo coming up on the userpage. The solution on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Krusher fixed it for me.


 * Krusher's patch has been present in SocialProfile for a while already; are you really running the newest version of SocialProfile under the newest stable version of MediaWiki (which is currently 1.22.2)? --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 17:23, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Update never ends
Hello. I load the files, I've updated the LocalSettings and run the update via mw-config/ though the update never finished. It ends on lines: and never gets further.
 * 1) 7 /mw-config/index.php(29): wfInstallerMain
 * 2) 8 {main}

The wiki works well except for user pages which return 'A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software.' so the table doesn't seem to have been created. When I remove require_once SocialProfile.php from LocalSettings, user pages start to work again. Any idea what stops update from finishing? Shall I create the tables manually (but then the next update might break again) or do I need rights to update any file in the mediawiki folder? Thanks Vaasha

Avatar upload fails if there's already a Avatar.jpg file uploaded
If there's already an Avatar.jpg file, upload of a new avatar fails. This is a quick workaround:

/**	 * Only needed for the redirect; needs fixage */	public function getTitle { return Title::makeTitle( NS_FILE, 'Avatar-placeholder'.uniqid.'.jpg' ); }

replace the getTitle function in SpecialUploadAvatar.php with the above.

I hope it can be useful to anyone. --Krusher (talk) 18:53, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm not a wiki wizard by any stretch and am new to the software. Not being a coder I'm challenged with some of the additions in local settings. That said, Social works fine for me with two exceptions. System gifts work, user gifts do not and friending and foeing do not. The remainder of the software works like a top.

Try downloading a new snapshot (on the Extension:SocialProfile page, click on the "Git master" link) onto your wiki's  directory and see if that fixes it.

 * Hi Jack. Thanks for the fast response. I did take the lastest stable version, which is what made it a surprise that most of it worked and some of it didn't-- :) and what made me certain that I was at fault in the mix.

Mails being sent as HTML instead of text
All mails in MediaWiki are sent as plain text, but SocialProfile tries to send it as HTML mail. As a result, the email displays HTML tags as text. The problem seems to be parsing the mediawiki text with parse method, instead of text method. For example:

if ( $user->isEmailConfirmed && $user->getIntOption( 'notifymessage', 1 ) ) { $board_link = SpecialPage::getTitleFor( 'UserBoard' ); $update_profile_link = SpecialPage::getTitleFor( 'UpdateProfile' ); $subject = wfMessage( 'message_received_subject', $user_from )->text; $body = wfMessage( 'message_received_body',				$user->getName,				$user_from,				$board_link->escapeFullURL,				$update_profile_link->escapeFullURL			)->parse;

should be:

if ( $user->isEmailConfirmed && $user->getIntOption( 'notifymessage', 1 ) ) { $board_link = SpecialPage::getTitleFor( 'UserBoard' ); $update_profile_link = SpecialPage::getTitleFor( 'UpdateProfile' ); $subject = wfMessage( 'message_received_subject', $user_from )->text; $body = wfMessage( 'message_received_body',				$user->getName,				$user_from,				$board_link->escapeFullURL,				$update_profile_link->escapeFullURL			)->text;

The latest development version (a.k.a git master) is the stablest version and basically the only supported one. I test my changes against the current stable release of MediaWiki (which is the 1.22.x branch as of now) and I believe that's what others do, too, so SocialProfile usually should work with the latest stable MW, but you need to use the latest available version of SP. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 20:44, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * No, there isn't such an error on the latest version, just like how I said in my previous message. If you are using Special:ExtensionDistributor to download SocialProfile, make sure you select master (latest development version) &mdash;  all other options are unsupported! You can also click on the "Git master" link in the infobox.

Gift administrator displays 10 gifts only
The Especial:GiftManager page displays only the first 10 gifts. I think it's because this page was intended to have a pagination, but in the end it didn't. A pagination system should be added or, even better, just display all the gifts, as I don't think there can be a lot of them.

There's a little workaround on there.

In SpecialGiftManager.php file:

function displayGiftList { $output = ''; // Prevent E_NOTICE $page = 0; $per_page = 10; $gifts = Gifts::getManagedGiftList( $per_page, $page );

Just set a high value on $per_page var. For example, $per_page = 10000;.

 * That particular error, as well as some similar errors in other files, has been fixed recently; please update your copy of SocialProfile to the master (most recent) version.


 * In addition to upgrading SocialProfile, you should upgrade your MediaWiki installation. According to http://geislingen.org/wiki/index.php?title=Spezial:Version you're running MW 1.22.2, but the latest version of the 1.22.x branch is 1.22.8, and the latest stable version of MediaWiki is 1.23.1. SocialProfile has been developed and tested against the latest stable version of MediaWiki only (which is 1.23.1 as of now); it may or may not work with other configurations, but that's purely coincidental and I'm not able to support such legacy setups. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 16:40, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

'Fatal error: Call to undefined method Title::escapeFullURL'
I've decided to opt for MW 1.24, understanding that some extensions may or may not working. So far, everything's worked but SocialProfile:  Looking above, I see that Title::escapeFullURL was removed in Mediawiki 1.19, and was said to only cause "logging" errors (Or something of the sort). That's not the case here - Now, User profiles are completely "nulled" and no loner work, printing the above error. If Title::escapeFullURL was removed in 1.19, then what should be be used nowadays? --184.155.109.183 01:31, 27 July 2014 (UTC)


 * For what it's worth, I think it's great that someone's testing things on the master version of MediaWiki &mdash; it's always somewhat easier and less painful to fix issues such as these before the release (in this case, 1.24) is out. :)


 * Now, there are (or to be more accurate in the case of MW 1.24, were) two URL escaping functions in the Title class,  and  . These were deprecated in MediaWiki 1.19, which meant that using them in new code was recommended against and old code using these functions should be "fixed", as the functions will eventually go away. In MediaWiki 1.24, these two functions have finally been removed and as such, any and all code attempting to use those functions will result in a PHP fatal error.


 * Luckily for you, SocialProfile has already been fixed a while ago &mdash; see 142568, 147000 and 148387 &mdash; so all you need to do is to update your copy of SocialProfile to the latest development version (master) and it should just work. (It should be noted that the "official" social tools development wiki hosted on Wikimedia Labs is also running MediaWiki 1.24alpha, and as such, I'll do my best to ensure that the social tools function both on the latest stable version of MediaWiki as well as the version used on the Labs site; after all, it'd be rather embarrassing if the development site, which is also meant to serve as a live demo, would be totally broken. ;)


 * Again, do let me know (on this talk page) if you encounter any other issues with running SocialProfile and/or other social tools on the development version of MediaWiki! --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 10:29, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Files required to use avatar extension only?
Hello! Though the entire SocialProfile toolset is entirely useful, we really don't need all of the additional features like awards, friends & co. What we would like to use, however, is the avatar feature. We've written a series of our own extensions (Forums, Blogs) that make use of avatar portion of this toolset. My question: Would anyone happen to know what portions of the extension are tied to making avatars work? We've looked into it ourselves, tried several things, and ended up breaking the toolset on several occasions. If anybody happens to know only what portions of the extension are used to operating avatars, please let me know. We don't plan to package any portion of SocialProfile with our extensions, but rather present it as SocialTool-compatible extensions if we decide to release them. Alternatively, we'll have to write our own avatar extension. --64.134.177.199 22:37, 13 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm interested in the particular reasoning as to why you'd want only avatars or somesuch instead of the more complete experience.


 * Anyway, you might be interested in some of the hacks that Brickimedia has done to achieve something like that (see, for example, my Brickimedia Meta profile page). --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 20:25, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

404 Error when clicking on user profiles
If I go to a page like Special:ViewRelationships on my wiki (wiki.nos.net.nz) and I click on a username or profile avatar it does not link to the user itself instead for some reason it goes to http://wiki.nos.net.nz/w/%7Bhtmlspecialchars(%20%20)%7D which is an invalid link and does not go to the correct user.

Change from a static number for $wgUserStatsPointValues['edit']
Was seeing if it would be hard to change $wgUserStatsPointValues['edit'] from being a static value defined in LocalSettings.php to a dynamic variable the changes based on the bytes changed on pages.

Or instead of that would it be possible to give more points for the more content that is updated?

Thanks in advance

 * Thanks a lot for your response! I am trying to use this now and the tag works perfectly, however there seems to be an error at some point when updating the weekly point totals. It appears people who update more have negative values? Not sure what's causing this.. For example this is from the last report

(1) Sgbaggarley - 100 points! (1) Pappas77 - 100 points! (2) Ustez carlton - 100 points! (4) B mustafa - 20 points! (5) Ktakatheo - 10 points! (6) Vipulrathwa - 0 points! (6) Pamela - 0 points! (8) CloudStuffs - -50 points! (9) JahanAhmed - -120 points! (10) Kevin - -150 points!

Thanks again for your help!

Notice: Undefined variable: stash in .../extensions/SocialProfile/UserGifts/SpecialGiftManagerLogo.php

 * The PHP notice is annoying and one of those "nice to have fixed eventually" things, but I doubt it could break the file uploading functionality. Usually the "Could not copy file X to Y" message means that the permissions for one of the aforementioned folders isn't correct (well, your error message actually doesn't mention the destination directory, but it's ). --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 22:50, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Joomla! - Jfusion - Mediawiki - SocialProfile
Hi, I using Joomla! (3.3.6) I combined (merged) Joomla! with mediawki using the Joomla! Jfusion extension. The problem is when I try to log out of the Joomla! I getting an error message "Warning: require_once(/extensions/SocialProfile/UserActivity/UserActivity.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxxx/public_html/wiki/extensions/SocialProfile/SocialProfile.php on line 209

This problem is related to mediawiki or Joomla!?

Sorry for the English J still learning :)




 * You might want to consider installing the UserWelcome extension (comes "bundled" with SocialProfile, you just need to activate it in your wiki's LocalSettings.php), RandomUsersWithAvatars and WikiTextLoggedInOut extensions to show a bunch of random users' avatars to anonymous users on a page like the Main Page and the current user's social info for registered users. For a live example of how this is done, take a look at the Fish Hooks Wiki. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 22:50, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Turn off display of Foes
Hi

This toggle does not seem to have an effect: $wgUserProfileDisplay['foes'] = false;

Uploading avatars disrupts file upload MW 1.25.3
Mediawiki 1.25.3, Social Profile Git Master

When I upload avatars the labels appear for the different sizes but no images show.

I chmod 777 /avatars but that didn't help.

There are no uploaded files in images/avatars (just the default ones)

Special:Log/avatars shows avatars were uploaded.

Special:RemoveAvatar does not render. Is this because there are no uploaded avatars?

After a failure such as this all general file uploads then fail with an error message: Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/1/15"

To get out of this I have to reboot the server.

I have a backtrace pointing to a file lock problem which I can share by email (MW said I was a spambot when I tried to put it here. Ditto for my Social Profile configuration settings).

Thanks

David

Installing SocialProfile breaks Comments extension
I installed the MW extension Comments 10-15 days ago. As more and more users were using it, I wanted to allow them to set an avatar. So I installed SocialProfile with minimum settings to handle avatars. It worked for me (my avatar is properly displayed in comments) but when displaying comments, only mine are visible just like I was the only one to send a comment. Does anyone have the same problem ?

Versions : Mediawiki 1.25.1, Comments extension 4.1.0 (e3c0378)

For all who have problems uploading avatars to your wiki
I just ran into this problem and the reason is the absence or bad installation of ImageMagick. In apache log you can see something similar to that: sh: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory I hope this will be helpful to someone. Greetings: Luis.

Disable Friend & Foe function
I install SocialProfile 1.7.1 on MW 1.27.

But I really don't need both Friend and Foe function since my Wiki is in company use.

All users are employees so that we will not see anyone as friend or foe.

I know $wgUserProfileDisplay['friends'] and $wgUserProfileDisplay['foes'] are not working.

Edit Profile, Upload Avatar, Not Working with 1.27.3 and latest version of Social Profile
I've been trying to sort out what's up and why Social Profile is mis-behaving with my Mediawiki installation.

If you try to edit your profile you're given the error message "Fatal error: Call to undefined method MediaWiki\MediaWikiServices::getLinkRenderer in /home/kitsufo/public_html/cosc2017/extensions/SocialProfile/UserProfile/UserProfileClass.php on line 232" If you try to upload an Avatar you get the error message "Fatal error: Call to undefined method MediaWiki\MediaWikiServices::getLinkRenderer in /home/kitsufo/public_html/cosc2017/extensions/SocialProfile/UserProfile/UserProfileClass.php on line 232"

The problem seems to be connected as the error messages match, and the error points at the same file/line. Hopefully this can get resolved soon... The site it's on is Children of StarClan, in case you want to look into my exact configuration.
