Bug#687519: mediawiki: Sortable tables are not sortable at all
Package: mediawiki
Version: 1:1.19.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
Tables of class sortable in a wiki page do not render as sortable. I
uninstalled mediawiki completely and reinstalled it again (version 1:1.19.1-1,
from Debian 'testing'). After basic (default) configuration, I edited a page
and inserted the following table:
{| class=wikitable sortable
! Foo
! Bar
|-
| Lorem
| Ipsum
|-
| Dolor
| Sit
|-
| Amet
| Consectetuer
|}
This table was not sortable. I searched the web, but found nothing mentioning
the problem, so I downloaded mediawiki 1.19.1 from the upstream site and
compared its contents with thad of the Debian package. I found that file
/usr/share/mediawiki/resources/jquery/jquery.tablesorter.js is a symlink
pointing to ../../../javascript/jquery-tablesorter/jquery.tablesorter.min.js,
which in turn belongs to package libjs-jquery-tablesorter 6-1. I deleted the
symlink and copied the upstream version of jquery.tablesorter.js to
/usr/share/mediawiki/resources/jquery/. It solved the problem and sortable
tables started working again. I imagine that mediawiki 1:1.19.1-1 is
incompatible with libjs-jquery-tablesorter 6-1, although one depends on the
other. I suggest removing the dependency and using the upstream mediawiki file
instead of the symlink. I use sortable tables a lot, and I imagine other people
do as well, and this bug breaks a lot of the fuctionality of my wiki, so I ask
you to apply this quick fix until the root of the problem can be discovered.

Bug#687519: [Pkg-mediawiki-devel] Bug#687519: mediawiki: Sortable tables are not sortable at all
I imagine that mediawiki 1:1.19.1-1 is incompatible with libjs-jquery-tablesorter 6-1, although one depends on the other. I suggest removing the dependency and using the upstream mediawiki file instead of the symlink. That would violate Policy. Which version of libjs-jquery-tablesorter does work for you (i.e. is 6-1 too old or too new)? Based on the file header, it seems mediawiki uses a fork of tablesorter or is a modified version of it, specifically for use with mediawiki. mediawiki 1.19.1: /** * TableSorter for MediaWiki * * Written 2011 Leo Koppelkamm * Based on tablesorter.com plugin, written (c) 2007 Christian Bach. * * Dual licensed under the MIT and GPL licenses: * http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php * http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html * * Depends on mw.config (wgDigitTransformTable, wgMonthNames, wgMonthNamesShort, * wgDefaultDateFormat, wgContentLanguage) * Uses 'tableSorterCollation' in mw.config (if available) */ libjs-jquery-tablesorter 6-1: /* * * TableSorter 2.0 - Client-side table sorting with ease! * Version 2.0.5b * @requires jQuery v1.2.3 * * Copyright (c) 2007 Christian Bach * Examples and docs at: http://tablesorter.com * Dual licensed under the MIT and GPL licenses: * http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php * http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html * */ Can you get sortable tables to work with mediawiki in any other way? Which part of Policy does the fix violate? Would changing the name of the file (to something like jquery.tablesorter.mediawiki.js) for use only with mediawiki solve the policy issue? The thing is that I need sortable tables to work, and I would like that to happen without having to manually fix the package using upstream code every time it is upgraded. Most users will not do that and just have a broken mediawiki. -- Flávio Bello Fialho -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#481518: Bug seems to be solved upstream
I have reproduced the same problem in the attached file using openoffice.org version 1:2.4.1-12. What causes the bug (in the attached file) is the character that looks like a non-breaking whitespace. If you close openoffice.org and then open the attached file, the bug happens. If you delete the whitespace, save the file, close openoffice.org and reopen the file, the bug is gone (well, not gone, but it doesn't show). If you do not delete the non-breaking whitespace before saving the file, the bug remains. I believe this bug is described upstream: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=88376 Please fix the bug before Lenny is released, because it is really annoying. It seems to be already fixed in Openoffice.org 3.0, but not in 2.4.1. -- Flávio Bello Fialho Pesquisador, Embrapa Uva e Vinho be...@cnpuv.embrapa.br -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
