Hi, I'm having the same problem here

http://wiki.stoa.usp.br/Acesso

Strangely Widger appears on Parser Hooks, but 'widget' doens't appear
on 'Parser function hooks'

http://wiki.stoa.usp.br/Especial:Version

differently from here

http://www.mediawikiwidgets.org/Special:Version

$IP/extensions/Widgets/compiled_templates/ directory is writable by
the server.

Any tips on what's happening and how to solve?

Thanks,

Tom

It looks like you are running dramatically outdated versions of MediaWiki as parser functions don't even register with it - you can see it here:

• http://wiki.stoa.usp.br/Especial:Version
• http://www.good.group.shef.ac.uk/wiki/index.php/Special:Version

I would strongly recommend upgrading MediaWiki for reasons different from non-working widgets, I believe these versions are not safe to run and there might be quite a few security whole in them.

I guessed just this! I was already trying to upgrade the MediaWiki
version *right now*. I´ll tell here if it worked after upgrade.

Thanks!

I just upgraded, but 'widget' still doesn't appear on 'Parser function
hooks'

http://wiki.stoa.usp.br/Especial:Vers%C3%A3o

I'm trying to solver this soon, because I want to add google form to
make a petition. If someone has some tip, I'll be thankful.

See you,

I'm guessing problem is arrising because of the conflict between
extensions versions.

At first, I noticed my ParserFunction was too out of date. I just
tried trunk and 1.13.x version I downloaded from here

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/ParserFunctions

but widget function still doesn't appear here:

http://wiki.stoa.usp.br/special:version

I was wondering if my MW version wasn't too up to date now, since I
upgraded for version 1.13, but I found a version using Widget
extension *and* MW version 1.13

http://cddu.cqu.edu.au/index.php/Special:Version

and widget function parser hook is appearing.

Versions I'm using:

MW: 1.13.2
Widget extension: 0.8 - last tar ball
ParserFunction extension: 1.13.x - last tar ball

Wich version are you all using?

Also, I noticed that when I use

{{#widget:Google Form
|key=po-s58YMwf85Q3UxRzdGOBw
|width=600
|height=750
}}

without the '#', the iframe is inserted, but otherwise, not. Look at
here, as an example

http://wiki.stoa.usp.br/Acesso

I hope I've detailed enough about my system for some light.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi !

I have installed mediawiki 1.13.2 and 0.8.1 widgets.

First of all I needed to patch extensions/Widgets/Widgets.php,
I added :
if (!is_array($wgNamespacesWithSubpages))
{ $wgNamespacesWithSubpages=array(); }
before
$wgNamespacesWithSubpages = $wgNamespacesWithSubpages + array
(NS_WIDGET_TALK => true);

But it still not work. Now that I have created a template called
http://nw.elphel.com/index.php/Template:Widget:Google_Maps and

Inserting the following in the http://nw.elphel.com/index.php/Main_Page
still show the <script ... > in the page.

{{widget:Google Maps
|key=ABQIAAAAhLrKDpOSAeJIJE_4oBKAVRRDYzWBWO0LPshoNNfC-0a0f9-
muxT3xhs2B1Yl1VlDJlg47rxgkOOc9w
|width=600
|height=400
|lat=55.754796
|lng=37.621479
|zoom=12
|static=yes
|centermarker=yes
}}

Does somebody have an Idea? Could you confirm that the widget code
should be copied in the template and not a standard article ?

Best regards,
Alexandre

No, the code should be copied into the standard article in Widget namespace!

Why did you get an idea of putting it into the template? I'm just wondering if I wrote some misleading wording! ;)

           Sergey

[Sergey Chernyshev]

Hmm. It's weird. I wonder if it has anything to do with the different language...

Can you give me exact configuration strings you added to LocalSettings.php?

          Sergey

[Alexandre]

Hi,

Because without # it create a template.

Ok, so what does not work ? I have an article called
http://nw.elphel.com/index.php?title=Widget:Google_Maps

My LocalSettings.php contain:

require_once("/var/www/vhosts/nw.elphel.com/extensions/Widgets/
Widgets.php");

Strange. Can you enable full output for the Special:Version page? It looks like "widget" parser function (or maybe extenson too) is not registering with MediaWiki.

Ok, I made a stupid error.. I did put require_once("/var/www/vhosts/
nw.elphel.com/extensions/Widgets/Widgets.php"); in the beginning of
the file. Just moved to the end and everything work.

Thanks. It work now.

No problem! Enjoy it!

[Herman Elgueta]

Once I upgraded my MediaWiki version, everything worked fine.
Now the widgets are working perfectly. Its an awesome extension.
Thank you very much,
