(Note: SmoothGallery is not in the bugzilla component list) When calling SmoothGallery 1.1e under MediaWiki 1.16alpha (r51492), it works when both filenames and descriptions are present: {{#sgallery: imagelist=File:Aconitum-napellus 4435.jpg{{!}}''Aconitum napellus'', Infloreszenz File:Aconitum_napellus2_ies.jpg{{!}}''Aconitum napellus'', from side File:Aconitum_napellus3_ies.jpg{{!}}''Aconitum napellus'', inside File:Aconitum_napellus8_ies.jpg{{!}}''Aconitum napellus'', leaves }} but when leaving away the description: {{#sgallery: imagelist=File:Aconitum-napellus 4435.jpg File:Aconitum_napellus2_ies.jpg File:Aconitum_napellus3_ies.jpg File:Aconitum_napellus8_ies.jpg }} the page is no longer rendered at all, and the error message: Fatal error: Call to a member function getText() on a non-object in ...mediawiki/extensions/SmoothGallery/SmoothGalleryParser.php on line 247 is shown. On http://www.ryandlane.com/sandbox/SmoothGallery is works ok under 1.15.0rc1 (r51439), so the bug seems to be 1.16-specific.
Update: The error is probably not related to 1.16, but to using a shared repository. If no image description is provided, ''and'' the image comes from a shared repository that uses API connection (such as using images from Wikimedia Commons), then the following code in SmoothGalleryParser fails with a fatal error: if ( $description == '' ) { // Load the image page from the database with the provided title from the image object $db = wfGetDB( DB_SLAVE ); $img_rev = Revision::loadFromTitle( $db, $title ); // Get the text from the image page's description $description = $img_rev->getText(); }
Fixed in r51766.
