Redirecting Flow pages
[edit]How do I redirect a Flow-enabled talk page to another page? Tgr (WMF) (talk) 09:10, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
- This requested feature is tracked at phab:T102300.
- The current workarounds are:
- If only certain pages are manually flow-enabled (e.g. on Mediawiki.org), then just page-move the existing flow page (e.g. to "../Archive"), and the original location will then be back to being wikitext-contentmodel.
- If the entire namespace is flow-enabled (e.g. officewiki, or cawiki's Wikipedia_talk:) then page-move the existing Flow page (as before), and then in another non-flow location (e.g. user:foo/redirect) create the redirect, and page-move it on top of the original (now empty) location - that will convert the page's contentmodel back.

Where can i enabled it?
[edit]Hi,
Where can i enabled it? ($wgFlowContentFormat = 'html';) ? In LocalSettings? NH35 (talk) 14:59, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
<flow-action-unsupported> on Archive pages when specific namespaces enabled
[edit]I converted all existing user talks to Flow pages and everything work fine except the Archive pages. When I disabled $wgNamespaceContentModels[NS_USER_TALK] = CONTENT_MODEL_FLOW_BOARD;
, the Archive pages work, but when I enabled this settings, the Archive pages shown <flow-action-unsupported>
. Any idea? I'm using 1.26.2. Sparanoid (talk) 12:20, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
Flow in Mediawiki 1.24
[edit]Hi, I've installed and configured Flow to work on a MediaWiki 1.24 instance. It is working correctly but does not have the browse topics functionality. Is this something that is available in 1.24 or will I have to upgrade to get this? Thanks Dave3110 (talk) 14:44, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
Timeout error
[edit]Hi ,
I have a problem with extension talk , every time i try to add a new topic i get a timeout error, the topic will be added to the discussion page but it will be added two time . Rdelloro (talk) 13:49, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
- On Wikimedia sites, or a separate installation? Mattflaschen-WMF (talk) 20:58, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- on separate installations , thanks Rdelloro (talk) 18:41, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
- and the new topic will be created 2 times. Rdelloro (talk) 18:44, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
- What version of MediaWiki and Flow are you using? Mattflaschen-WMF (talk) 20:42, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
- media wiki 1.26.2
- flow 1.1 Rdelloro (talk) 13:22, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
- I got the same problem, on MW 1.27 JHK (talk) 06:03, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- About this issue, I got something new.
- In the beginning, my problem was it would take a long time to load existing content when I was trying to edit it. Meanwhile, it also took a long time to send out a new article.(same problem when there's just couple words in article.)
- Sometimes it showed up timeout error, but edit action was still working at last.
- Most of time, I need to wait about 15-20 secs for every edit.
- Until I tried to add the following line to LocalSettings.php:
$wgFlowEditorList = array ( 'wikitext' );
- Everything is working perfectly. It just took about 2-3 secs for every edit loading.
- I'm not sure for the reason, but I guess Flow set VE as default editor which I've disable in my MW.(VE installed, but disabled.)
- So when I remove it from EditorList, Flow will not try to load VE anymore.
- Just for your reference, and please let me know if I make any mistake. JHK (talk) 02:08, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
Incorrect timestamp on discussions
[edit]RESOLVED | |
This is an issue with the 32 bit version of PHP. |
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Whenever a new or updated post is created with flow, it shows the date at 1969 (46 years ago). All recent changes and modified pages show the correct date so I have no idea where this date is coming from as the database and server is showing the correct date and time.
I have seen a few bugs around this reported, but does anyone have a fix please?
I am on the latest development version of Mediawiki and master version of Flow. Fireflyt (talk) 12:23, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Fireflyt. Which of the existing bugs most closely resembles the problem you're encountering? https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/vFohB34buG0X/#R Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 20:23, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Quiddity, thank you for your reply and apologies for the my delay as I have been away.
- The open bug - "T109528 Wrong message dates in Flow on certain OS/architectures" best resembles the problem I am experiencing. The date for any new discussions or replies literally shows as being added 46 years ago, being 1969.
- We are looking at upgrading our Mediawiki platform at the moment and I am working on a test environment which is currently using Mediawiki 1.27 wmf 23. Our OS is Windows Server 2008 R2.
- I am more than happy to try any suggestions or provide any more information. Fireflyt (talk) 14:58, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
- Added a screenshot taken today.
- File:Flow Date.png Fireflyt (talk) 08:24, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
- I've talked to a dev, who suggests that it would probably be a couple of full days of work to fix this. We're not able to prioritise it at the moment, so I can't give an ETA for a fix. If you're interested in working on this yourself, the information in phab:T109528 should be enough to get started (and is the best place to ask followup questions). Hope that helps. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 20:32, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
- I have the problem too, I use Windows Server 2012 R2 with IIS 7.0 and PHP 5.5.37.
- I am using a virtualized machine on Hyper-V.
- The "46 years old" problem also appears on Firefox, Chrome, and is not really related to IE imo.
- I'll ask on phabricator. Tuxxic (talk) 13:30, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- I tried Chrome and Firefox too. Let me know if you get anywhere with this Tuxxic as we would love to use this as a replacement to Liquidthreads.
- Cheers. Fireflyt (talk) 13:34, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- To be honest I am not a dev, I only hope this one will be addressed by someone who know better than me :) Tuxxic (talk) 14:50, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- Ha, me too. Good luck! Fireflyt (talk) 14:54, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- I am also having this problem with my MediaWiki 1.27!
- And i also cannot disable the Flow!
- Who can help me!? âFile:LovelyA72 avatar.pngA72(çč¨Âˇč´ĄçŽ) 03:36, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
- Are you using IIS as a web server ?
- I ask in order for the devs to reduce the test field. Tuxxic (talk) 12:37, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
- Windows Server 2016 with a modified WAMP Server
- - Apache 2.4.23
- - PHP 7.1.7
- - MySQL 5.7.14
- www.yzwiki.com âFile:LovelyA72 avatar.pngA72(çč¨Âˇč´ĄçŽ) 07:58, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, so that confirms that Windows is the issue here. Tuxxic (talk) 09:51, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- The problem is likely not to be Windows, but using a 32-bit (x86) version of PHP rather than 64-bit (x64) - which is common on Windows. Unfortunately this results in permanent data corruption of the timestamps per https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T109528 GreenReaper (talk) 01:11, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- I am seeing the same issue on my setup, running MediaWiki 1.28 with WAMP 2.5 on Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter, also happens with a local dev setup that is running WAMP 2.5 as well on Windows 10 Build 1607. In my WAMP 2.5 builds the dependency versions are:
- - PHP 5.5.12
- - Apache 2.4.9
- - MySQL 5.6.17 Pajellen (talk) 20:58, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks @Pajellen, so what I understand is that it is a problem with Windows, not the webserver (since we have the same system). Tuxxic (talk) 11:30, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- Seems to be the case, I don't have a server setup with Linux since our work environment exclusively uses Windows (I have tried to push for a Linux virtual server but no dice so far). Let me know if you need any other info, I'd be glad to help. Pajellen (talk) 13:28, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- I can confirm this is happening on the latest stable 1.29 version with the flow extension running the latest version as well. Windows server running IIS. We have decided to move away from the flow extension due to this bug. Jamal22066 (talk) 15:37, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
- it is also happening on Apache2.4 âFile:LovelyA72 avatar.pngA72(çč¨Âˇč´ĄçŽ) 23:57, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
- Were you ever able to get Flow disabled on your talk pages? It seems like a big hassle just to get flow disabled and move back to the normal talk pages. If you did, do you have any steps or resources? Jamal22066 (talk) 14:59, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
- I have a same problem.
- Raspberry Pi 3 and Raspbian (Debian) Stretch
- MediaWiki 1.30.0
- PHP 7.0.27-0+deb9u1 (apache2handler)
- MariaDB 10.1.23-MariaDB-9+deb9u1
- ICU 57.1
- I read this : https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T109528
- Is it a problem from 32bit and 64bit processing? Alkydes (talk) 12:27, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Unknown column 'ref_src_wiki' in 'where clause'
[edit]With the latest version of Flow for MediaWiki 1.26 there is an Database query error:
[f4a8a48a] Exception Caught: A database error has occurred. Did you forget to run maintenance/update.php after upgrading?
See: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading#

Function: Flow\Data\Storage\BasicDbStorage::find (flow_ext_ref) Error: 1054 Unknown column 'ref_src_wiki' in 'where clause' (localhost)
I've started the update script before, but the error still appears. Adding the column was the solution, but I think this is a bug of flow.

Flow + UserMerge : error
[edit]Hi,
I am using Flow and UserMerge, and when I try to merge two users (in fact, trying to delete one), I get the following error :
[442729fa14814bb95ac91954] 2016-08-09 15:05:01: Fatal error type ÂŤ Flow\Exception\FlowException Âť
Is the problem related to UserMerge or to Flow ? In doubt, I post the same question to UserMerge Extension talk too.

Undefined constant CONTENT_MODEL_FLOW_BOARD
[edit]RESOLVED | |
How embarrassing. It appears as though I had commented our the require_once line in my LocalSettings.php that reference Flow.php. I didn't notice this until I went to uninstall the extension to try again. |
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I can't seem to get Flow to run. Talk pages display with error:

$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['flow-create-board'] = true;
$wgFlowOccupyNamespaces = array( NS_PROJECT_TALK, NS_USER_TALK );

$wgFlowEditorList = array( 'none' );
$wgFlowMaxLimit = 50;
Problems
- User talk ns: All topics are gone and an empty Flow discussion is displyed reading "Start a topic".
- In the project ns I enabled Flow on certain pages (a forum with sub pages). The forum now reads "Unknown topic | The requested topic does not exist."
- Trying to recreate it on Special:EnableFlow gives "There is already a Flow board at MyProject:Forum".
I then ran populateContentModel.php and FlowUpdateRevContentModelFromOccupyPages.php as stated on the page:
- populateContentModel.php: Fetched all pages

Can't see flow on the page
[edit]I have installed extension flow followed the instruction online,I also installed Extension:Echo and Extension:ParserFunctions and extension: memcached ,but the echo had succeced,the flow had missed, but system echo any erro, why can't I see the flow on the page , any help?

- If you go to the Special:Version page on your wiki, do you see Flow listed there? Roan Kattouw (WMF) (talk) 15:34, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
- yes ďź I can see it, but it's no use to set it. Yelvti (talk) 01:53, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- What's a bit confusing is that installing Flow doesn't automatically change any existing discussion pages, and also doesn't change what happens to newly created discussion pages. You have to create a Flow page by going to Special:EnableFlow or by configuring a namespace to use Flow (see here for instructions on the latter).

Is Flow working with Extension:MobileFrontend?

I find it not so convenient to have several talk pages just for one general topic. How can I do it? Fokebox (talk) 11:25, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- There is a way to redirect a Flow board to another FLow board, but I don't recall how to do that. I know that @Quiddity (WMF) knows! Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 08:41, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Well I have installed redirect extension and inserted redirect code to description and it seems to be worked Fokebox (talk) 09:01, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, cool!
- Have you tried to create a topic on the page where the redirect is? Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 09:17, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- After I inserted a code for redirection it is impossible to create a topic. because the page immediately redirects to talk page where it is allowed to create topics and comment it Fokebox (talk) 09:51, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- I'm asking, because that's not working on this wiki. Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 14:17, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- So I used this extension for redirecting: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ExternalRedirect
- So I just put the code of this extension to description, indicating the page where to redirect. It works for me Fokebox (talk) 14:27, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, I see: I've used the default redirect. Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 14:32, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- yes, I also tried to use default redirect and it doesn't work. External redirect works fine.
- I also mentioned that I wanted to indicate category to the Talk page with Flow and it also doesn't work Fokebox (talk) 14:47, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Here, we use Special:ChangeContentModel to flip the empty page from Flow to Wikitext, and then make that a normal redirect. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 17:08, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- I tried to change, but I have a warning that flow doesn't support direct editing of the page Fokebox (talk) 07:09, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
- Please could you paste the exact error message, and anything else relevant?
- (e.g. Direct links to your site, or at least a paste of special:version so that we have the basic overview of your installation)
- Then we can pass that detailed information along to a dev or file a bug for it. Thanks.
- Re:category, if you put that information in the page description section (top-right), it will (should) add the page to the category, e.g. see Project talk:Sandbox/Flow test. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 00:02, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- So I do have my wiki in Russian at subdomain, so if you need I can make a screenshot of the error occured.
- If I indicate a category on description at my wiki it doesn't appers just like on the link you have provided. I created a Test Page and Test Page of Flow discussion so you can see it here: https://ru.wikijournal.org/wiki/ĐĐąŃŃМдонио:Test_Page Fokebox (talk) 14:59, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
How to allow users just comment and reply
[edit]I have following problem: I want users and guests to post comments and reply without rights to edit pages in my wiki. If I disable editing rights so it is possible to create a topic without right to reple on any other? How can I configure that? Fokebox (talk) 14:18, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- That's not possible at the moment. Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 08:39, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- I think that's such a limitation to the present implementation of Flow. There's a significant difference between an anonymous user entering a question or comment on a wiki and having rights to edit articles on a wiki.
- With the project I'm setting up, we specifically wanted to allow anon users to have the opportunity to enter comments on a talk page without having the rights to make edits to articles at the same time (i.e. anon users just have the right to read articles).
- Do hope you will give this functionality request due consideration. coyotegirl (talk) 05:19, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
Bug: Title of the topic can be editted by anyone
[edit]Dear Flow developpers ⌠Could you please restrict the possibility tomedit tiles by anyone ⌠simple users can edit it without topic creator permission Fokebox (talk) 14:31, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- A task exists for that feature. Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 08:39, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Ok! Thank you! I hope that the solution will be made soon. Fokebox (talk) 09:13, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- At the moment, there is no active development for Flow. Plus, I don't think that feature will be a priority, I'm afraid. Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 09:16, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- It is strange ... the extension is really useful and needs to be developed. I couldn't find the best solution for talk pages Fokebox (talk) 09:52, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- We are going to take a decision about that soon, stay tuned! Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 14:31, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
How to disable page discription editing for users?
[edit]Can someone let me know how to disable page description for simple users, but let the know to post topics and reply to them? Fokebox (talk) 12:05, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
- It seems like Flow almost not providing any hooks, so I guess there is no way to extend its logic without code modifications. Vedmaka 23:35, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
- But look here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:MediaWiki
- There is a lock sign at page description and only administrator is allowed to edit it Fokebox (talk) 23:57, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
- The whole page is protected, not only the description. And Vedmaka is right: there is no way to protect the description only, except by changing the code itself. A task exists for that feature. Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 08:38, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
Cannot start subthread from the last comment of a topic
[edit]Hi,
When I hit 'reply' at the last comment in a Flow topic, I get a reply textbox to the topic (i.e. I can write a top-level comment in the topic), not a reply to the very comment (which would be a second-level comment under the last comment). Thus, it is impossible to start a thread from the last comment in a topic.
Is this a bug or a feature?
(Please excuse me if I overlooked some content and put a question which has been answered long ago.) Bozonbozon (talk) 11:22, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- This is a feature, but one that is planned to be re-examined, because it confuses a lot of people. The task that links all the related requests and bugs, is phab:T108998.
- (The intent with the current design, was to prevent large quantities of multi-level diagonal indents, and to try to encourage people to read all the previous messages in a topic, by only indenting when absolutely necessary. But it hasn't been as intuitive as hoped, so should eventually be changed.) Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 19:37, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
