Extension talk:BlueSpiceFoundation

I am running MediaWiki 1.37.2 along with BlueSpice 4.2.0-alpha.

I followed the instructions at Extension:BlueSpiceFoundation, except for the part where you add code to LocalSettings.php. Instead, I added wfLoadExtension( 'BlueSpiceFoundation' ); since the BlueSpiceFoundation.php file does not seem to exist anymore. This seems to toggle the extension on, as I can see it is active when viewing Special:Version.

I also followed the instructions to install the BlueSpiceReminder extension. I can also see that extension is active when viewing Special:Version.

I also have new links in my interface to view and add reminders. However, when I click them, nothing happens or no content loads on the page.

Is this a compatibility issue, or something else going on? Happy to provide additional details as needed.

Update: after about 10 minutes, I tried again - now I can click "Reminders" in the top right corner and the interface loads. I can click the plus to add a new reminder. I can select a page and a reminder date. When I click "Done", I get a message that the reminder cannot be created.

So there is marginal improvement, but the reminder function is still not working 100%.

Any luck with this? I'm on MW version 1.39.1,and installed BlueSpice 1.39, but still no dice. I added the command (not the PHP reference) to my LocalSettings file and when I try to reload the wiki it is just blank - nothing is there. I am using CPanel and uploaded the tarball and extracted into the Extensions folder. Really hoping somebody can help here.

No - the only suggestions I've received are to upgrade or downgrade my MediaWiki environment. Apparently BlueSpice only ensures compatability with major MediaWiki updates. I have no idea how to upgrade or downgrade so this has fallen down my list of priorities...but I'll keep an eye out here if anyone has anything new to share!

I upgraded MediaWiki to 1.39.3 today, and after doing so I found that the BlueSpiceReminder plugin is working now...sort of. I couldn't create a new reminder directly from a page, but by opening the Reminders page itself I was able to create new reminders. This is a step in the right direction!

I've just tried to install this as well on 1.39. When I try and do the require_once I get an error because that file does not exist.

I've followed all steps.

Hello, and thank you so much for creating / maintaining this extension.

Loading the extension breaks my whole wiki, with only an error 500 being returned. I have ExtJSBase installed, I ran update.php and composer update, but it didn't help.

My folder was also missing the BlueSpiceFoundation.php file, I tried to copy it from version 1.31 as suggested in the post below, but it still didn't work. I tried loading the master, 1.35 and 1.31 versions separately, all of them broke the wiki the same way. I tried loading them both with the recommended command (require_once ...BlueSpiceFoundation.php") and through direct wfLoadExtension.

Adding

$wgShowSQLErrors = true;
$wgDebugDumpSql  = true;
$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;
$wgShowDBErrorBacktrace = true;

doesn't help, as the website doesn't return anything, it doesn't load at all.

Please advise.

Hi, Thanks for the feedback! We are on company vacation right now. Therefore, I don't have a technician there to look at it. We are releasing a new release based on MW 1.35 on January 19. I'll pass on the feedback directly though. We'll take a look at it and get back to you as soon as possible.

Thank you very much for looking into it, I'll be waiting for the response. In the meantime, have a happy new year!

Hi! Can you please provide some additional information?

• How did you download the extension? Using Special:ExtensionDistributor, manual git clone, or using "composer"?
• Which version of MediaWiki are you running?

Hi Osnard,

I'm on MW 1.37 and I used ExtensionDistributor.

BlueSpice only targets "long term support releases" (LTS). The latest LTS release is MediaWiki 1.35. So this is probably just a version incompatibility. We ware working on compatibility with more recent versions of MW, but I can not give any schedule.

Oh okay, you're probably right, thank you very much for your support.

For anyone having the same issue, I ended up using this code from Fandom for DataTables that also works well for filtering tables.

Not really sure if this was intentional or not (and the page is just outdated), but I was following the installation instructions on the page, I'm using Media wiki 1.35 so I downloaded that version of this extension first. Running my wiki threw me an error telling me that the BlueSpiceFoundation.php file was missing (which it was). So I downloaded both the master and 1.31 versions and the 1.31 version had the BlueSpiceFoundation.php file . . . I copied it to the BlueSpiceFoundation folder in my wiki extensions folder and it worked after that.

Mediawiki 1.31 skin Timeless.

wfLoadExtension( 'ExtJSBase' ); It works. OK

wfLoadExtension( 'BlueSpiceFoundation' ); KO

Error

[YCG8tq53vHPENVYuElII7AAAAFU] 2021-02-08 22:35:34: Fatal exception of type MWException

Updated data base. New error message

[YCG-Iq53vHPENVYuElIN6wAAAFc] 2021-02-08 22:45:54: Fatal exception of type MWException

Probably solved by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/BlueSpiceFoundation/+/658235 in version 4.0.

Please enable error output and share the results. Add

$wgShowSQLErrors = true;
$wgDebugDumpSql  = true;
$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;
$wgShowDBErrorBacktrace = true;

To your LocalSettings.php file

I check if we can backport this to MW 1.31

Since the first try I have installed the following extensions for PHP : intl, luasandbox, memcached and opcache Today it is the second try

wfLoadExtension( 'ExtJSBase' ); It works. OK

wfLoadExtension( 'BlueSpiceFoundation' ); It works OK

Updated data base It is OK with MW .1.31 and skin Timeless.

MW 1.31 is installed in shared hosting. I am afraid to use Composer.

Thanks.
