Properties that should appear in the Factbox need to be added during parsing, so you would have to use another MediaWiki hook that is triggered during parsing. The SMWStore hook is called only when the page is saved, so it does not happen at all on preview, so it cannot have any effect on the Factbox. There are many MW hooks that run during parsing, but we do not have a standard pattern or example code for hacking into the system at this point, I think. You can have a look at the SMW code if you like (SMWParseData implements the main methods used to store data during parsing; most importantly, you can get the SMWSemanticData object during parsing by calling SMWParseData::getSMWData( $parser ); if you store data in there during parsing then it should appear in the Factbox).

Re: [SMW-devel] Any chance to get special properties to the factbox?
Hello Markus and the others, we are doing this in a "SMWStore::updateDataBefore" - handler. The property shows up in the browse function not in the "normal" article view. If this isn't functional how can we alter an existing property value with this handler? Let's say we have a property called "Edited by". This property should have the value (string) "Hans Bot" which would be set programatically in an "SMWStore::updateDataBefore - handler" while saving an article. How to archieve this? For now we have this for a special/meta property which doesn't fits: //Edited by $revision = Revision::newFromTitle($title); $user = User::newFromId($revision->getUser()); if(($user->isAnon()==false)&&($wgCommandLineMode==false))://bug es wird trotzdem geadded bei SMW_refreshData.php $dataItem = SMWDIWikiPage::newFromTitle($user->getUserPage()); $property = new SMWDIProperty('___SDWED'); if(!is_null($dataItem)): $data->addPropertyObjectValue($property, $dataItem); endif; endif; >The Factbox is populated while parsing the page.

But I will try it again with a longer description. We are working with SMW and MW, contributed extensions to MW since several years now and want to develope some special SMW-based MW-extensions. We are not able to visit SMW-Conferences- so we only can reach the currently published mailinglists, documentations and videos. Thanks to the extension "Semantic Extra Special Properties" it is now transparent how to create properties with PHP for the first time by a simple and god to use example code. We also managed to read, delete properties and add cumulative values to a property (maybe the wrong way). To get a little bit progress in this CRUD-related cases I want to aks the following questions in the hope someone can provide anwers/resources. I post no code here because my last mail was truncated and trashed ;-). 1. Unfortunately we did not succeed in using the SMWWriter extension. Is this project still maintained. Did someone used it with MW 1.20.x and SMW 1.8.x? 2. When we are dealing with PHP-driven properties, we always produce special properties. How can we create and manipulate properties related to userland in PHP? 2.1 How can we avoid doubling of values in a string typed property? 2.2 How can we influence the display of PHP-generated properties in the factbox? 3. Instead of the SF-API we want to use our already established MW-API interface and poor PHP. Are there any additional resources how to manage this CRUD-things...create, read, update, delete semantic properties on an "official standard way" so that we can maintain our developments along this official standards in the long term? best regards and thank you for your help Steve -- Everyone hates slow websites.

[SMW-devel] Text is the new String
Dear developers, change https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/50488 merges the String and Text datatypes on all levels (user labels, datatype ids, PHP objects). This means the following for your future code: * Use SMWDIBlob instead of SMWDIString * Use '_txt' instead of '_str' For SMW 1.9, '_str' and SMWDIString remain functional as aliases for '_txt' and SMWDIBlob, but this will have to end at some point. So code should gradually be updated to replace the old identifiers. No interface changes, so it is really just a search & replace activity. Cheers, Markus -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

Every meta property that is added at this time will appear in the Factbox. As a matter of principle, meta properties that are not known yet when building the page cannot be shown in the Factbox (simple way to judge this: is the property already known when creating an edit preview?). If a property is added in time and still does not appear in the Factbox, it might be that its display is disabled. This is defined when registering new properties. One can also check if the property is shown in Special:Browse (if not, then it may be invisible; maybe it does not even have a user-readable label). Cheers Markus -- Everyone hates slow websites.

[SMW-devel] SMWSQLStore2 support will be dropped
Dear all, this email is to confirm that the old database management code "SQLStore2" (which was superseded by "SQLStore3" in SMW 1.8) will be dropped in future SMW versions. This has been on our public roadmap for some time -- I am just sending this to make everyone aware of this to avoid surprises. This only affects you if you run a wiki that uses SMW 1.7 or older, or if you use one of the following lines in its LocalSettings: $smwgDefaultStore = 'SMWSQLStore2'; SMWSparqlStore::$baseStoreClass = 'SMWSQLStore2'; If this is the case for you, you will need to remove the above lines when upgrading SMW, run the setup again (like on normal installation), and refresh the data as explained in the documentation. Dropping the old code will allow us to implement a number of improvements in SMW that would not work with the old code. Most notably the String and Text datatypes will become the same.
