Hi. I'm trying to add json-ld schema to my wiki's templates for microdata, but mediawiki renders the code as text and shows up in the page. Any way this extension can handle that?

For example, this

<script type="application/ld+json">

{

  "@context": "https://schema.org",

  "@type": "MusicAlbum",

  "byArtist": {

    "@type": "MusicGroup",

    "name": "Radiohead"

  },

  "genre": "Alt/Punk",

  "image": "king-of-limbs.jpg",

  "name": "King of Limbs",

  "numTracks": "8"

    }

</script>

I'm sorry, but the question appears to be entirely unrelated to this extension. Script tags are not allowed for obvious security reasons.

this was mentioned here

I installed this extension because Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#mw.ext.data told me to enable mw.data.ext. But what there nor here was mentioned, that I need $wgJsonConfigEnableLuaSupport = true;.

We are wondering whether it is possible to configure JsonConfig for using the local wiki as a source of the values for Wikibase properties with type 'tabular data'. Our current configuration is

$wgJsonConfigModels['JsonConfig.TabularContent.local'] = 'JsonConfig\JCTabularContent';
$wgJsonConfigs['JsonConfig.TabularContent.local'] = array(
        'namespace' => 486,     
        'nsName' => 'Data', 
        // pattern for page name
        'pattern' => '/^[A-Z]*[a-z]*\.tab$/',
        'isLocal' => true,
);

but this does not work as desired. Wikibase still searches for *.tab pages in commons.mediawiki.org rather than in the local wiki.

The configuration for my jsonconfig extension in the LocalSettings.php is the following.

$wgJsonConfigEnableLuaSupport = true;
$wgJsonConfigModels['Tabular.JsonConfig'] = 'JsonConfig\JCTabularContent';
$wgJsonConfigs['Tabular.JsonConfig'] = [ 
'namespace' => 486, 
'nsName' => 'Data',
// page name must end in ".tab", and contain at least one symbol
'pattern' => '/.\.tab$/',
'license' => 'CC0-1.0',
'isLocal' => true,
'store' => true,
];

When i try to query for json tables that i have stored on the instance using the following,

<DOMAIN HERE>/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=tab contentmodel:Tabular.JsonConfig &srnamespace=486&srlimit=10&format=json

i get the following result

{"batchcomplete":"","query":{"searchinfo":{"totalhits":0},"search":[]}}

What correction must i make to my api query statement to make this work ?

Hello,

I uploaded the JsonConfig in the extension and then added the code wfLoadExtension ( 'JsonConfig' ); in the LocalSettings. This resulted in an error message with my wiki. I have wiki version 1.29, so I tried again with require_once " $IP /extensions/JsonConfig/JsonConfig.php" ;. But that did not help.

What could be the reason for this?

Kind regards

How can I configure this extension to use the JsonContentHandler class for `'pattern' => '/.\.json$/'` page titles? In MySQL database, I want to be able to create pages that end in ".json" for the `page_content_model` column to be "json" value by default, instead of "wikitext" content model type. Is this possible with JsonConfig extension?

Here is my LocalSettings.php configuration attempt so far:

   $wgJsonConfigModels['Json.JsonConfig'] = 'JsonContentHandler';
   //$wgJsonConfigModels['Json.JsonConfig'] = [];
   //$wgJsonConfigModels['Json.JsonConfig']['class'] = 'JsonConfig\JCDataContent';
   //$wgJsonConfigModels['Json.JsonConfig']['view'] = 'JsonConfig\JCDefaultContentView';
   //$wgJsonConfigModels['Json.JsonConfig'] = 'JsonConfig\JCDataContent';
   $wgJsonConfigs['JSON.JsonConfig'] = [
       'cacheExp' => 86400,
       'cacheKey' => ,
       'flaggedRevs' => false,
       'isLocal' => true,
       'license' => 'CC0-1.0',
       'model' => 'Json.JsonConfig',
       'namespace' => 486,
       'nsName' => 'Data',
       'nsTalk' => 'Data_talk',
       'pattern' => '/.\.json$/',
       //'pattern' => '/^Json:./',
       'store' => true
    ];

Edited to add: Almost, and I guess it's good enough, but if I change 1 line above to:

   $wgJsonConfigModels['Json.JsonConfig'] = null;

then it seems to work. The MySQL database page table page_content_model column value shows as "Json.JsonConfig" instead of "json" which is probably because of the configuration (which works, and is good enough for now), but otherwise I am still curious if there is any way to configure this so that the value will be "json" to use the existing content model type that appears to be the exact same (but I didn't verify this)

Also see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T305571 which is what I read through to come to this solution.

---

Also, when I try to edit a *.json page (that I manually changed the content model type at wiki/Special:ChangeContentModel to 'json') with the models configuration above (= null for "Json.JsonConfig" key), when I try to visit a page with the 'json' content model type, instead of the 'Json.JsonConfig' model type, when I try to edit the page I see:

Content format not supported

The content format application/json+pretty is not supported by the content model JSON.

From a standpoint of the data types being practically exactly the same, and humanly capable of support capabilities, this type of error message seems inconvenient, and probably more of a database technical constraint than an actual inability to produce similar visual user interface capabilities that function practically identically, I would suspect.

   $handler->isSupportedFormat( $this->contentFormat )

Perhaps is there a way that this can evaluate as true in includes/EditPage.php in such a condition?

Also see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T307978

please igore this, my mistake

I just tried to install this extension in my testwiki, using this all locally.

I have the extension enabled and showing in Special:Version, also I have put the example from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:JsonConfig/Tabular#Configuration as config.

However, no additional namespace is showing up. Did I miss something?

Krabina curious if you ever got this working?

unfortunately not

That is unfortunate. I was so excited to add the maps to my wiki. It's been very frustrating.

Well for maps there is the Extension:Maps that works without JsonConfig and can handle GeoJson.

That's my next approach. Thanks.

What does this error message mean?

bump?

It would be really cool if the examples could document how to setup commons as the data storage wiki, when using this as a third party.

There's been lots of questions related to that lately as more and more lua modules store their i18n on commons, and people try and copy those lua modules.

The configuration settings for accessing ".tab" files on commons is here: Extension:JsonConfig/Tabular#Configuration

The same thing works for Map data:

$wgJsonConfigModels['Map.JsonConfig'] = 'JsonConfig\JCMapDataContent';
$wgJsonConfigs['Map.JsonConfig'] = [
'namespace' => 486,
'nsName' => 'Data',
// page name must end in ".map", and contain at least one symbol 'pattern' => '/.\.map$/',
'isLocal' => false,
];

$wgJsonConfigs['Map.JsonConfig']['remote'] = ['url' => 'https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php'];

@Bawolff: I doubt third parties can even use Data: locally. Which should be a problem, because I doubt Commons is interested in hosting tables of all Pokémon and their stats, abilities, game locations and Pokédex entries. See Usage of tabular data appears to be restricted to Commons.

honestly, i think its kind of weird that commons became the central repo for template translations, and i have some reservations sbout the design of the tabular data system in general, but well, here we are, guess its too late now

I tried the above config and many variations and the errors persist. If I interpret correctly then, it's currently not possible for a third-party wiki to reuse the Data namespace at Commons?

Hi,

how to configure JsonConfig to work proper with the Extension:Kartographer / VisualEditor?
