Hello, Trying to setup an upload server http://base.ekopedia.org like "Commons" project for wikipedia. Everything work great except one thing: images included in image description fetched by wgFetchCommonsDescriptions do not use correct URL source. As you can see on this URL: http://base.ekopedia.org/Image:Pecheurs-sur-la-plage.jpg, the image and description is fetched correctly. But there is an banner (Public Domain) which contain an image inside. As you can see on the source page: http://base.ekopedia.org/Image:Pecheurs-sur-la-plage.jpg, the image in the banner is ok. So $wgFetchCommonsDescriptions works correctly for text, but did not correct the image URL. In fact in html, this is this URL: http://fr.ekopedia.org/images/thumb/6/62/PD-icon.svg/64px-PD-icon.svg.png Instead of this one: http://base.ekopedia.org/images/thumb/6/62/PD-icon.svg/64px-PD-icon.svg.png I'm using this configuration: $wgUseSharedUploads = true; $wgSharedUploadPath = "http://base.ekopedia.org/images"; $wgSharedUploadDirectory = "/var/www/base.ekopedia.org/images"; $wgHashedSharedUploadDirectory = true; $wgSharedUploadDBname = "base"; $wgFetchCommonsDescriptions = true; $wgRepositoryBaseUrl = "http://base.ekopedia.org/image:"; $wgCacheSharedUploads = true; $wgSharedLatin1 = false; Jean-Luc
As far as I can tell, this is because MediaWiki on the "calling" wiki asks the "pool" wiki (where the shared image resides) to render the description when it retrieves it. As far as the pool wiki is concerned, a shared image in the description text is local to it, so it outputs an URL that is foreign to the caller.
There was a typo! :( For this: > As you can see on this URL: > http://base.ekopedia.org/Image:Pecheurs-sur-la-plage.jpg, the image and > description is fetched correctly. But there is an banner (Public Domain) which You should read: http://fr.ekopedia.org/Image:Pecheurs-sur-la-plage.jpg Jean-Luc
As a workaround, try setting the full URL in $wgUploadPath on the shared wiki. (eg including hostname)
Hi, I've put this on the shared wiki: $wgUploadPath = "http://base.ekopedia.org/images"; and this is working fine. Thanks a lot! Jluc
