Hello Everybody,

I am experiencing a couple of problems with Wibbit, which may or may
not be related to each other.  First, to dispense with some details:

1. Apache 1.3.29 (& with mod_security 1.9.3, very lightly configured
to catch XSS stuff, etc.; pretty relaxed rules. Also not seeing
anything in modsec logs that would indicate it's interfering with the
wiki+wibbit).
2. PHP 5.2.6 (with Suhosin patch & extension), running as an
Apache .so extension
3. PECL's Advanced PHP Cache (APC) 3.0.19
4. MySQL 5.0.51
5. Mediawiki 1.13.3 set to use object caching of APC with
$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_ACCEL;

Now for the problems:

1. Using Seamonkey 1.1.14 browser, I go to my test page at
http://redhelp.info/wiki/index.php/Wibbittest1 .  I am using the data
& wibbit markup from http://simile.mit.edu/axo/People .  It works.
     1A. However, if I edit the page, even making no changes, simply
enter the edit page then save, the Exhibit display no longer works.  I
get the unadorned table instead.
     1B. If I clear the Mediawiki cache, either by clearing the PHP
user cache from the APC control panel, or by saving & thereby
incrementing the 'last modified' stamp on Mediawiki's
LocalSettings.php file (which expires the cache too),  I get the
Exhibit effect again.
     1C. If I disable APC, % configure Mediawiki with $wgMainCacheType
= CACHE_NONE;, then try to edit, I get the same problem.  I must
expire the Mediawiki cache by incrementing the time stamp on the
LocalSetings.php file to get Wibbit functionality working again.
    1D. With APC on & $wgMainCacheType = CACHE_NONE;, the problem
persists.  I check the APC control panel for user cache, but since
Mediawiki is sett not to use the object cache, nothing appears there.
Yet still Wibbit functionality fails after an edit, & will only return
after chaging time stamp on LocalSettings.php.
    1E. Same problem using the simple example found at
http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Wibbit/Walkthrough .
    1F. Browser cache appears to have no bearing on this.

So, any ideas what might be going on?  What is Mediawiki storing away
that is preventing Wibbit from loading Exhibit functionality after an
edit, & can only be rectified by reloading the settings file?

-------

The second problem:

2. This problem does not occur with Mozilla-based browsers, but does
with Internet Explorer versions 6 & 7.  (I haven't tested any others.)
     2A. With IE, I browse to my test page at 
http://redhelp.info/wiki/index.php/Wibbittest1
. A pop-up displays the following error message: 'Caught exception:
undefined.  Details: Object doesn't support this property or method'.
Furthermore, the Exhibit functionality doesn't work.  Strangely
enough, it doesn't entirely fail.  I get the 'Class Year' entry box
from the Exhibit demo, followed by the unadorned wiki table.
     2B. I found that this error & failure also occurs on the SIMILE
site as well: http://simile.mit.edu/axo/People .  It doesn't, however,
occur with the similar demo page at http://simile.mit.edu/axo/Disasters
.  (I did note that in IE6, the disaster icons in the key are
stretched, but that's likely a different issue.)
     2C. My server logs show the following error (not just when
browsed with IE, but on all requests to my Wibbit test page): [error]
PHP Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /path/to/
extensions/exhibit/includes/Exhibit_Main.php on line 410'.  Perhaps
it's related?  Anyway, what causes it?

So, any ideas on this one would be appreciated as well.  If any other
information would be helpful, just ask.

Regards,
RQ
