Is there any output in the developer tools of your web browser?

Nothing, firefox composer and inspector do not give any errors either...

am I really the only one facing this problem?

Also discussed in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:T721d2d8776y5fyg

I was unaware of this issue. I just tried the latest version of the extension on my local MediaWiki 1.27.1 and had no trouble (see screen attached). I understand that this is an issue for many users, but if I cannot reproduce the problem, I cannot fix it. I need more data.

My first suspicion is that this is a compatibility issue with some frequent extension. Could someone experiencing this issue take the time to disable all extensions, see if MsUpload works then, and if it does re-enable the extensions one by one to see where the problem is? Thanks!

This is still broke as of today.

I am using: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-MsUpload.git

Should I use a different clone url?

There are so many places to get this and I am new to the entire storage structure of all these projects.

Replying to T139341#2588377 still welcome:

T139341#2587056 implies that it could be worth a shot.

So I can see that for some reason that the source of the edit pages being generated is:

{"scriptPath":"","flash_swf_url":"/home/user/rootdir/extensions/MsUpload/plupload/Moxie.swf","silverlight_xap_url":"/home/user/rootdir/extensions/MsUpload/plupload/Moxie.xap"

I am looking at the source but anyone have any idea?

php 5.6

Instead of master, installed gz for 1.27.1 and still no dice.

Now the code above does not show up. It is loading the plugin but no dice on the drag and drop upload.

So https://github.com/mediawiki4intranet/MsUpload.git does work but what is the deal here...is this the official repo? Why isnt the mediwiki repo updated?

It works for me on MediaWiki 1.27.1. The drag & drop area only appears if I use the "enhanced edit toolbar" in my preferences (provided by Extension:Wikieditor), otherwise it won't show up. And also added the extension specific parameters to LocalSettings.php that appear on the extension's page:

$wgMSU_useDragDrop = true; // Should the drag & drop area be shown? (Not set by default)
$wgMSU_showAutoCat = true; // If true, files uploaded while editing a category will be added to that category
$wgMSU_checkAutoCat = true; // Whether the checkbox for the above mentioned case is checked by default
$wgMSU_useMsLinks = false; // Should we allow to insert links in the style of the Extension:MsLinks?
$wgMSU_confirmReplace = true; // Show the "Replace file?" checkbox
$wgMSU_imgParams = '400px'; // The default parameters for inserted images

@Sophivorus I think the issue here is that it's advertised as adding the upload icon and drag&drop "to the editor and WikiEditor." which is not true. It works with WikiEditor but not on the classic editor. The github repo has probably fixed that working in both editors

I would assume that this is my issue then. I am going to have to check out on my end if it works. If I remember correctly a few people were having an issue w/ this plugin and I wonder if this is why.

It even works with mediawiki 1.28.0 so I think you might have an old version or you did not follow the instructions 100%.

This seems to be the problem. This extension (at least the version in the WMF repository) requires the WikiEditor extension to be enabled, and in other situations is not loaded. I've added a note to the installation instructions.

(I do get a TypeError: mw.toolbar is undefined when one of the "Insert link" or "Insert as image" links are clicked, but that's a separate issue.)

Please close this right after I post this. I edited: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MsUpload to have the instructions to enable: "enhanced edit toolbar"

I have just tested today with 1.28.2 and that was the only way to get it up. I think it is a non issue but I had to come back to this thread to get it to work.

I did not see on the extension install page to do that and somehow I missed Ciencia_Al_Poder's comment.

I wanted to make sure this was here in case someone finds it on google and wants the answer.

Sorry for bringing up an old issue but honestly it took this long to get the time to test it.

Thanks for clarifying, @Webdawg . Note also that the WikiEditor requirement is planned to be removed in T163989, which will make installation of this extension simpler.

• The MsUpload version hosted at Gerrit worked fine for me in 1.27, 1.28 and 1.29, but only with the WikiEditor enabled. The code is designed to load the buttons only when WikiEditor is enabled.

Soph - where is this Gerrit version - can you please provide a link?

Here is a photo of what I currently see, inMediaWiki version1.27.3:

The WikiEditor extension is enabled and the wikieditor bar is visible, but no Msupload bar!

Damn I loved loved loved this extension. It is the best extension ever made. Now it is a terrible worthless aberration that has so many bugs in it.

Whoever redesigned this extension should be reprimanded.

1. The extension no longer works at all for 1.27.
2. It no longer works without WikiEditor
3. If you have mediawiki 1.25 or before, the extension no longer works.

I upgraded from mediawiki 1.19 just to use this extension, unbeknownst to me, it is now a steaming pile of dog shit.

@Moscowamerican You can download the Gerrit versions from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/MsUpload
Test it out, and if you still have trouble, you can hire me to fix it, https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~017a81393fa108bff5
Cheers!

Thank you Sophivorus! You are a gentleman and a saint!

Thank you for the screenshot of how it is supposed to look:

I have confirmed that the MsUpload button is indeed missing. I created an account on the wiki and I cannot access the extension feature either.

Did you guys enable the enhanced edit toolbar?

<12:28 moscowamerican_: 1.27, 1.28, 1.29 master, 1.22 and 1.24 do not work>

This message by the user in IRC confirms that this is a serious issue not just affecting one wiki or one MediaWiki version of the extension

This is still an error in 1.32
