Call for Developers
We are planning to create a Digital Library Card Platform for The Wikipedia
Library. We are looking for a developer, or team, with a history of
successfully developing web applications in open development frameworks
(such as Drupal, Angular, Ember, CiviCRM, etc.). Efficient production,
clear communication, and well-structured and secure code are a must.
Additional consideration will go towards applicants who have worked in the
Library and Information Science field, on Open Source projects, or in the
Wikimedia/Mediawiki communities. Our budget currently allows for
$5000-$15,000 for development of a working version within 4- 6 months. We
expect to expand the platform in two later phases to add additional
functionality around standard library services.
The Wikipedia Library helps Wikipedia's top editors receive access to
donations from leading publishers and databases. Now that we have over 3
dozen publishing partners including Elsevier JSTOR, Oxford University
Press, and SAGE, AND nearly a dozen global branches with 2 dozen more
planned for the next year AND commitments to support other TWL programs
across the globe... we need to create a system that will facilitate our
expansion. In the past, manual and separate processes for delivering
access were appropriate, but this year's focus is on scaling and
growth. Developing
the Digital Library Card Platform tool is a top priority for us this year.
Qualified and interested applicants should read this project overview and
fill out the form linked on this page:

Hello,
Is it possible to retrieve information about 'whether user has logged in
for last 1 year or not' in mediawiki?
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm running Sabayon Linux (64-bit, up to date with all updates -- it's a
rolling release system to version numbers are irrelevant) and while I
managed to install MW 1.25.2 on it successfully I cannot seem to shorten
URLs properly. My MediaWiki base directory (i.e., the one with index.php,
LocalSettings.php, etc. in it) is /var/www/localhost/htdocs/w and I am
using MariaDB as my RDBMS, if relevant. To shorten my URL (from w/index.php
to wiki) I added:
AllowOverride All
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]
to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and added:
$wgScriptPath = "/w";
$wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";
$wgUsePathInfo = true;
to my LocalSettings.php file. I also ran:
systemctl restart apache2
php maintenance/update.php
after this. I then opened up http://localhost/wiki/Linux_Wiki (my main
page) in Google Chrome and got a page with the error message:
This web page is not available
> ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
I also tried opening up http://localhost/w/index.php/Linux_Wiki (where my
main page was prior to the URL shortening attempt) and got a page with the
same error message. Is there anything I have missed here? Btw, I had opened
up http://localhost/w/index.php/Linux_Wiki in Google Chrome prior to the
shortening attempt without issue, if you're wondering whether this was a
pre-existing problem. Sabayon if you are unfamiliar is a Gentoo derivative.
Thanks for your time,
Brenton
Hi Karsten,
Thank you for your reply! I see, is there another way to get a SPARQL
Endpoint for MW 1.24, or Semantic MW 2.2.2 respectively?
Best regards,
Filip

Subject: Re: [MediaWiki-l] RDFIO extension causing blank page
Heiya Filip,
the RDFIO extension does not support current versions [0] of SMW I'm
afraid. I am not sure if it is actively maintained either.
Your best shots are still the extension's talk page [1], the issue
tracker on GitHub [2] or the smw-developers list [3].
Cheers Karsten

Hey guys,
I've setup memcached on my webservers that I'm using with mediawiki. And I
wanted a convenient way to check that memcached was in fact working.
So I decided to try and get this mediawiki memcached extension working:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Memcached
But when I go to the Special:Memcached page to see what's going on, I get
this message:
Permission error
You do not have permission to do that, for the following reason:
You are not allowed to execute the action you have requested.
When I turn error printing on in php I see this message in the browser:
Strict Standards: Declaration of SpecialMemcached::execute() should be
compatible with SpecialPage::execute($subPage) in
/var/www/jf/mediawiki-1.25.1/extensions/Memcached/Memcached.php on line 36
Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in
/var/www/jf/mediawiki-1.25.1/includes/objectcache/MemcachedClient.php on
line 743
I have both memcached and this special page enabled in the LocalSettings
config:
## Shared memory settings
$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_MEMCACHED;
$wgParserCacheType = CACHE_MEMCACHED; # optional
$wgMessageCacheType = CACHE_MEMCACHED; # optional
$wgMemCachedServers = array( "xx.xx.xx.xx:11211", "xx.xx.xx.xx:11211",
"xx.xx.xx.xx:11211" );
require_once "$IP/extensions/Memcached/Memcached.php";
Seems like it may be a bug in the code, but I was just wondering if anyone
knew how to correct that. Also if there are any other ways to check if
memcached is in fact doing it's job effectively I'm open to suggestion!
Thanks,
Tim

Hey,
I'm trying to figure out a way to version control any configuration changes
we make to our wiki installation so it's easy to a) upgrade versions, b)
revert if we need to undo something, c) maybe one day have a development
site to verify functionality when upgrading, etc. The problem is, it seems
impossible to track it all in an elegant, simple manner.
The first and main issue is with LocalSettings.php. This is not tracked in
the main git repository, which I totally understand and am not here to
start an argument over that. Rather, I'd like a way to track changes to
that, perhaps in its own repository and not have it accidentally disappear
if I try to checkout a different branch of the main repository. Currently,
it's in its own private git repository ".gitlocal", which means to handle
it, all my commands are "git --git-dir=.gitlocal ...". This works, I guess,
but it's not ideal.
Anyway, I've looked into a lot of options (submodules, subtrees, you name
it), but everything appears to only work with subdirectories, and mediawiki
clearly states that the LocalSettings.php file MUST be in the same
directory as everything else. Also, trying to handle the main mediawiki
repository as a subtree or otherwise trying to merge a branch just simply
doesn't work.
TL;DR Basically what I want is to be able to open up a bash shell in the
wiki directory and say "hey, Git, mind grabbing me this version of
mediawiki, and also this version of my LocalSettings file, and these
versions of my extensions?" and have it reply "sure, buddy, here ya go!"
Sorry for the life story, hopefully someone has some thoughts, or at least
questions I can answer that might make this make a little more sense :)
Cheers,
Kevin
