Bug ID: 49280
Summary: SocialProfile not compatible with MW 1.21 due to
ContentHandler changes; major loss of functionality as
a result
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: SocialProfile
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
SocialProfile's UserProfile implements the social user profile via
UserProfile/UserProfilePage.php and a function (wfUserProfileFromTitle) in
UserProfile/UserProfile.php which is hooked to the ArticleFromTitle hook.
Social profile pages can either be in the User: namespace or alternatively in
the User_profile: namespace, depending on the user's personal preference. If
the user has chosen a social profile over the standard wiki user page, then
their social profile will be on the User: namespace and the wiki user page will
be on the UserWiki: namespace.
The UserProfilePage class extends the core MediaWiki Article class and until
MediaWiki 1.21, it worked flawlessly. Due to some major changes to core, of
which I suspect that ContentHandler is the biggest, this no longer works as of
MW 1.21. When running SocialProfile, social user pages do not display _at all_
and standard User: pages cannot be edited (due to the code in aforesaid
wfUserProfileFromTitle function, which intentionally prevents editing of user
pages since social profiles cannot be edited via ?action=edit but rather via
Special:UpdateProfile).
The Apache/PHP error log has entries like this: " PHP Notice: Inaccessible
property via __get(): user_id in /var/www/live/w/includes/Article.php on line
1918" which would be totally understandable...if I was trying to access an
Article member variable, but user_id is a class member variable of the
UserProfilePage class, defined in its constructor function, on line 23 (along
with a bunch of other custom class member variables).
Some help in fixing SocialProfile for 1.21+ installations would be very much
appreciated.
