Hi @Cainamo, thanks for taking the time to report this and welcome to Wikimedia Phabricator!

Please always provide steps to reproduce a problem and include exact version information (MediaWiki; Semantic MediaWiki; the extension itself). See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug for more information - thanks!

Environment and versions:

MariaDB: 10.3.15
PHP: 7.2.20
MW: 1.33.0
SMW: 3.0.2
Semantic Title: 4.0
Display Title: 2.0

LocalSettings:

wfLoadExtension( 'DisplayTitle' );
wfLoadExtension( 'PageForms' );
wfLoadExtension( 'SemanticMediaWiki' );
wfLoadExtension( 'SemanticTitle' );

$wgAllowDisplayTitle = true;
$wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false;

$wgEnableParserCache = false;
$wgCachePages = false;

$wgSemanticTitleProperties = array(

NS_MAIN=>"Har visningstittel"

);

enableSemantics('localhost');

$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;
$wgShowDBErrorBacktrace = true;

Problem
Freshly installed wiki... not able to make the semantic property "Har visningtittel" display as page "name"....
Page00001 has a semantic property of type Har visningstittel with value "Produkt", but when i browse the wiki, only Page00001 i shown. The error disappears if I change the property name in LocalSettings.php.

Thanks in advance :)

I see that you are using both the Semantic Title extension and the Display Title extension. You should not use both. Semantic Title is an older extension that should probably be archived at this point. Remove that extension and use only the Display Title extension. You will set the page's display title using the DISPLAYTITLE magic word documented here.

The "Undefined class constant 'TYPE_STRING'" error in Semantic Title is because TYPE_STRING is deprecated in newer versions of Semantic MediaWiki. But, rather than fixing that, it is probably better to archive Semantic Title.

As written by Cindy, Semantic MediaWiki 3.0 has deprecated TYPE_STRING. The code in SemanticTitle would need to be updated.
See https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/CommentStreams/+/449388/ and https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/extensions/TitleIcon/+/481283/ for an example how to do that...

Thank you, @Aklapper. I'm in the process of archiving SemanticTitle in favor of DisplayTItle.

Thanks @cicalese & @Aklapper Now I made it :) I removed all the Semantic Title config in LocalSettings and put the DISPLAYTITLE magic word into one page - and it worked right away. However, is it possible to make a template that always puts in DISPLAYTITLE followed by a semantic property value on the current page - ie {{DISPLAYTITLE:*HasUserdefinedPageName*}}?

Semantic MediaWiki already has functionality where the Property "Display title of" gets set to the display title on any page that uses the DISPLAYTITLE magic word to set the display title. So, you set the display title first, and the property gets set automatically.

Extension SemanticTitle is being archived. Use extension DisplayTitle instead.

@Cainamo, thank you for your contribution. I'm glad that DisplayTitle is working for you!

Sorry @cicalese , I didn't understand how to use the |Display title of=MyChosenName. Tried to read and fin examples, but without luck...

From page

{{Tjeneste

Has description=bla bla bla
Display title of=I want this to be shown as page title

}}

From template

</noinclude><includeonly>{| class="wikitable"

{{DISPLAYTITLE}} <-- Is this the way to do it?

! Has description

[[Has description::{{{Has description|}}}]]
-

It looks like what you need in your case is {{DISPLAYTITLE:{{{Display title of|}}}}} assuming that "Display title of" is one of the named parameters passed into your template "Tjeneste". That will set the display title on the page, which will allow the DisplayTitle extension to use it for the link text in links and cause the Semantic MediaWiki extension to give the value to the "Display title of" property.

@CCicalese_WMF Finally - thanks a lot :)

I modified the schema (Page Forms) so it now receives a value and puts it into "Display title of", and added {{DISPLAYTITLE:{{{Display title of|}}}}} to the template, and voila!

(This task is declined as SemanticTitle will not receive a fix in its codebase)
