Can someone provide an example of an working installation iusing this extension?

Regards@Bmrberlin

Hi All, When I try to download an attachment, it says, it is starting but that it ends up with a network error. Here is the url I see for an attachment. http://localwiki/extensions/PageAttachment/download/Download.php?rvt=0131b0ac20b8d1784fb6aa57cb31e6a4a3f8938cb3e5453410b291ee328fb8bb&downloadFileName=Book1.xls

I am using IIS. Is there any settings I need to changes in order for it to work?

Sorry for the delayed response. If you are still encountering the issue then please open a bug report at the following link:

Is support by translatewiki.net planned?

I think adding "translatewiki.net" would be a good idea. I'll look into this to find out what need to be done.

The following code should be added to page-attachment.js in order to sort by document title:

   function sortData(){
            var tableData = document.getElementById('PageAttachment').getElementsByTagName('tbody').item(0);
            var rowData = tableData.getElementsByTagName('tr');            
            for(var i = 0; i < rowData.length - 1; i++){
                for(var j = 0; j < rowData.length - (i + 1); j++){
			var first = (rowData.item(j).getElementsByTagName('td').item(0).innerHTML.toString());
		        var last = (rowData.item(j+1).getElementsByTagName('td').item(0).innerHTML.toString());
                            if( first > last){
                        tableData.insertBefore(rowData.item(j+1),rowData.item(j));
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Along with this function, add the call to it:

sortData();

to pageAttachment_renderAttachmentSection(html). It should look like this:

function pageAttachment_renderAttachmentSection(html)
{
   var e = document.getElementById('PageAttachment');
   e.innerHTML = html;
   sortData();
}

You or someone else have already created an enhancement request to add "sort" option (Issue# 78). I'll work on this after moving the code to Github as Google Code is shutting down.

Hi:

Moved this discussion to Google Forum for PageAttachment at the following link:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!forum/mediawiki-page-attachment-discuss

Sincerely yours,

I noticed that PageAttachment does not set the filelinks (backlinks) on file pages. Example: Suppose I attach abc.jpg to page XYZ using PageAttachement. If I go to the page for abc.jpg (File:abc.jpg), I would expect to see XYZ listed under File Links (which are the pages linking to this particular file.) However, PageAttachment does not appear to allow mediawiki to generate these backlinks.

Would this be an easy patch/fix? (I'm not a coder). (I should note that I'm using pageattachment 1.4 as my server is only running MW 1.17. Is this feature available in newer versions of PageAttachment?)

Hi Larryc:

You are correct, backlinks are not working. Would you please, kindly open a bug report at the following link:

http://code.google.com/p/mediawiki-page-attachment/issues/list

Aldrin

Bug report created https://code.google.com/p/mediawiki-page-attachment/issues/detail?id=65 Thanks!

Hi Larryc:

It is now fixed. Check compatibility section and download the version that is suitable for your installation.

Sincerely yours,

Thanks Aldrin. The update works (thanks!), but a nitpick (I love to test edge-cases):

If you run the Mediawiki maintenance script maintenance/refreshLinks.php, it removes the backlinks that your extension creates. You can repair this by running YOUR maintenance script PageAttachment/maintenance/AddMissingFileLinks.php. I think it would make sense to explicitly note this in the documentation.

Hi Larry:

I think nitpicking is good when it is for a good cause :-)

Thanks for pointing the issue out. I'll make a note of this in the downloads and will create a section on known issues.

By the way, did a quick check and I think this can be fixed, not 100% sure though. Do you mind opening a bug report so that it stays on my radar. As soon as I get sometime, will investigate it further and try to come up with a fix.

Sincerely yours,

I'm trying to install 3.0.0 alpha1 on php 5.4 an i get this error when i run

# php update.php

PHP Fatal error:  Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in /srv/http/wiki/extensions/PageAttachment/category/CategoryManagerHelper.php on line 45

Any idea why, and how i could fix this?

Thanks in advance

Julien

Hi:

Would you please open a bug report for this with as much detail as possible at the following link and I'll take a look this weekend:

http://code.google.com/p/mediawiki-page-attachment/issues/list

I got a solution. Modify CategoryManagerHelper.php line 45 to below statement, it will work again. $categoryDeletes = $this->getCategoryDeletions($linksUpdate, $existing );

Hi:

This is fixed in version 3.0.0. New downloads uploaded today (Friday, December 28, 2012). Please, kindly open a bug report if you still get this error.

Aldrin

Hi - Just want to start by saying this extension is awesome! Exactly what we needed!

I'm trying to attach existing files, and I get the following fatal error:

---

Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to ImageListPager::__construct() must implement interface IContextSource, none given, called in C:\xampp\htdocs\feki\extensions\PageAttachment\browse-search\ImageListPager.php on line 52 and defined in C:\xampp\htdocs\feki\includes\specials\SpecialListfiles.php on line 66

---

I wasn't sure if it was a permissions thing so I edited DefaultConfigurations.php and tried setting all permissions to true. I have administration privileges, the MediaWiki is on a private network.

Any suggestions? Uploads work just fine, but for some reason, this does not.

Hi:

Based on the error you are getting, I am assuming you are using MediaWiki 1.19.x. This has been fixed in 3.0.0 (Issue #41). Please, download the alpha version 3.0.0 (Downloads)

I have been busy. If I get time this coming weekend then will release beta versions (2.2.0 & 3.0.0) with additional fix (Issue #58) reported for the alpha version

Thank you Aldrin. You're assumption is correct, MW 1.19x. Sorry I didn't say that. To be honest, I'm not sure which version I had installed, but I'm pretty sure it was the most latest. I tried the 3.0.0 and it wouldn't work at all. I probably need to start with a fresh install of everything. Do you have a known platform you can specify? Also, do you feel the code is bullet-proof, or is it still a work in progress to get there? Thanks, it really is a great extension. I wish MediaWiki didn't work so hard to make uploads difficult, for a private intranet, file management is key!

Hi: I can never say the code is bullet proof, since, no matter how much you try, there is a bug lurking somewhere; otherwise, the code is pretty stable. I am using the 3.0 alpha version on my personal wiki.

My development platform is:

• MacOSX 10.7.4
• PHP 5.3.10
• MediaWiki 1.16 thru 1.19

My personal wiki platform is:

• Ubuntu 12.04 (server)
• PHP 5.3.10
• MediaWiki 1.19.0
• PageAttachment 3.0.0-alpha

If you would share your platform details then I maybe able to help you better. By the way, if you are using PHP 5.2.x (MediaWiki 1.19 needs at least PHP 5.2.3) then be sure download PHP 5.2.x compatible release. See the compatibility page for details

I'm running an XAMPP installation on a XP Pro workstation. Installation is:

Apache/2.2.21 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.21 OpenSSL/1.0.0e PHP/5.3.8 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1 MySQL client version: mysqlnd 5.0.8-dev - 20102224 - $Revision: 310735 $

Essentially, running Xampp 1.7.7 with MediaWiki 1.19.1

I will probably try a fresh install of MediaWiki and see if that makes a difference. Maybe I have some left over junk, this is my test platform anyway, so I can screw it up at will.

Hi:

Your system configuration looks okay; I am not sure why you are encountering issues. If your fresh install doesn't work then you could help me identify the issue by following the steps described below:

1. Install and check if MediaWiki works
2. Update "LocalSettings.php" file with the following settings:
   1. error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
   2. ini_set("display_errors", 1);
   3. ini_set("log_errors", true);
   4. ini_set("error_log", "[A directory where your web server has write access]/log/error.log");
   5. $wgDebugLogFile = "[A directory where your web server has write access]/log/debug.log";
   6. $wgShowExceptionDetails = true;
   7. $wgShowSQLErrors = true;
   8. $wgDevelopmentWarnings = true;
3. Then install PageAttachment extension
4. Then run database update (php maintenance/update.php)
5. If no errors, check if your wiki & PageAttachment extension is usable
6. If error at step #4 or #5, note the error and open a new issue and attach the "error.log" & "debug.log" files

I'm having a similar problem in 1.92 using the latest edition (3.00 alpha) of this extension. I get a HTTP Error 500 server error in my browser - /mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:PageAttachmentListFiles&rvt=9b2684fb9d2c2f210908ab71a261a1a1e6bd96484ee0c1e81bf72e5b6cb46abe&rnd=V96XTB8JH1HPRPI7JNTZHEQ . Is there a fix for this? Thanks, Jordan.

It seems to be a problem with Special:PageAttachmentListFiles. Going to the page normally causes a server error.

Hi Inops:

I just checked my own wiki and cannot reproduce. Would you please open a bug report at the following link with details?

Sincerely yours,

Aldrin

Hi! Any idea when the version 3.0.0 will be released. It would be great if I can download even the alpha version. Thanks a lot!

Hi:

As requested, alpha packages have been uploaded. Here is the link to the download page:

   http://code.google.com/p/mediawiki-page-attachment/downloads/list

Please, kindly submit issue/bug report at the following link:

Aldrin

That's great! Thanks a lot Aldrin!

On a windows 2008 server with MW 1.19 (php 5.3) is not working. All that appears on every page is a horizontal blue line. Can you please tell me if I'm missing something. Thanks a lot. I'm not sure this is a bug so I can report it.

Hi:

Couple of things to check:

1. The attachment section data is loaded through Ajax, so make sure JavaScript is not disabled.
2. Check if PHP session support is enabled. If it is not then enable it.
3. If you have installed the extension on an existing installation:
   1. If your wiki is behind a caching proxy server then try clearing the cache.
   2. Also, try clearing the browser cache
4. If all the above do not yield satisfactory result, check the log details and please open a bug report with as much detail information as possible. In addition, I don't have access to Windows 2008; so, it would be helpful if you would help testing the fix.

Thanks so much for the reply Aldrin. Checked all the above and still no luck. Where can I open the bug report?

Use the following link to open the bug report. Include as much detail as possible.

Sorry it was totally my fault. The database wasn't correctly set up. Thanks again for all your support Aldrin!

Hi:

No problem!

If you do find/encounter any issues, please open a bug report.
