I wanted to create a small image gallery aka 'favicons'. I found two problems, the first one while uploading debug.log: WebRequest::getFileName() 'myfavicon.ico' normalized to 'myfavicon.ico' Block::load: '84.191.72.110', '1', 1 MimeMagic::MimeMagic: loading mime types from includes/mime.types MimeMagic::MimeMagic: loading mime info from includes/mime.info MimeMagic::detectMimeType: no magic mime detector found! MimeMagic::detectMimeType: image mime type of /tmp/php7eycaa: image/vnd.wap.wbmp MimeMagic::guessMimeType: final mime type of /tmp/php7eycaa: image/vnd.wap.wbmp SpecialUpload::verifyExtension: mime type image/vnd.wap.wbmp mismatches file extension ico, rejecting file Solution: add in the file /includes/mime.types the line image/vnd.wap.wbmp ico Remark: this type was shown in the debug log for several files of different origin when uploading with Netscape 7.1 and add in /includes/DefaultSettings.php the file extension to the existing array $wgFileExtensions = array(......, 'ico' ) This allows to upload an *.ico file. However, the image page is not showing the thumbnail, perhaps because the thumbnail routines cannot render this. But also [[image:myfavicon.ico]] does not work, i.e. does not render the image (needs to be fixed). Both problems need review of experts of the /include/Image.php module.
Most browsers don't support Windows icon files.
First of all, with "image/vnd.wap.wbmp ico" you told mediawiki that windows bmp files are icon files - that's simply wrong. Get your mime detection to work - under linux, you can set $wgMimeDetectorCommand= "file -bi", that should do it. Alternatively, get a version of PHP that has either the fileinfo or the mime_magic extension compiled in. ico files should be tectected as image/x-icon. Second, ico-files will not be handeled as images by mediawiki, because many browsers do not support it, and it can't really be scaled. It could be rendered server-side using imagemagick in theory, but this is suppressed, because ico files may contain multiple images (for animations, or different ones for enabled/disabled, etc), and the software can't know which one to use. You can hack that locally, if you want, by uncommenting the following line in the canRender function in Image.php: #|| $mime === 'image/x-icon' #file may be split into multiple parts HTH
Note that wbmp isn't Windows Bitmap, it's some other format for use with WAP.
The tip with $wgMimeDetectorCommand= "file -bi" was perfect (I overlooked that for weeks) ! But now a request for small code cosmetics in CVS HEAD: Add in DefaultSettings.php in that line 266 a semicolon after -bi" 265 $wgMimeDetectorCommand= NULL; # use internal mime_content_type function, available since php 4.3.0 266 #$wgMimeDetectorCommand= "file -bi" #use external mime detector (linux) --> 266 #$wgMimeDetectorCommand= "file -bi"; #use external mime detector (linux)
(In reply to comment #4) > Add in DefaultSettings.php in that line 266 a semicolon after -bi" Done.
Hope, that it's okay when I now wontfix this bugzilla.
