[SMW-devel] SMW: configuration changes (read if running on SVN)

[Markus <ma...@ai...>]

Hi all,

SMW will be easier to configure in upcoming versions, and the SVN version h=
as=20
already been changed. If you run SMW on SVN you need to update your=20
configuration:

* The file SMW_LocalSettings.php is obsolete. It will be ignored.
* Instead, the following is written into LocalSettings.php:

 include_once('extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/includes/SMW_Settings.php');
 enableSemantics("\example.org\");

where you replace \example.org\ with your server name (the value of=20
$smwgServer in your old SMW_LocalSettings.php).

* If you have made any other changes/settings in SMW_LocalSettings.php, jus=
t=20
insert the respective lines between the above two, e.g.

 include_once('extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/includes/SMW_Settings.php');
 $smwgIQDefaultLinking =3D 'all';
 enableSemantics("\example.org\");

So all settings now are in your LocalSettings.php.

* If you have more custom namespaces, set $smwgNamespaceIndex to a free=20
namespace index, before the include statement, e.g.

 $smwgNamespaceIndex =3D 102;
 include_once('extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/includes/SMW_Settings.php');
 enableSemantics("\example.org\");

assuming that you already had some other namespace on 100/101.


Overall, the new setup should simplify upgrades and the running of wiki far=
ms=20
with shared code.

Cheers,

Markus
