Meeting agenda

1. Wait for attendees & chat 5 min
2. Wiki Quickie 5 min TBD
3. MediaWiki News 20 min Mark
4. Editing JSON with FlexForm 15 min Charly
   • Especially when dealing with scientific data stored as json in a wiki, it can be very useful to be able to edit that data or perhaps enrich it. But also a simpler jsons for e.g. a menu structure would be great to edit. I'd like to demonstrate how to identify the data you are using inside a variant of a json schema and how you can then edit all this data very easily with FlexForm.
5. Wiki Watercooler remaining Open Mic

Chat transcript

1. Gergo Tisza: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/mwstake-2023-03
2. Brian Wolff: JsonP is the name of a different technology. That was popular about 10 years ago
3. Greg Rundlett: ahh, that was my confusion
4. Bernhard Krabina: https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Datatables_format_(v2)
5. Greg Rundlett: This jQuery plugin right? https://datatables.net/
6. Greg Rundlett: ^ yes
7. Greg Rundlett: As seen here: https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Plug-ins
8. Greg Rundlett: I'm wondering about a Q I entered in Element.... How would you best access SMW properties from PHP / export to JS?
9. Bernhard Krabina: maybe this helps? https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/blob/master/docs/architecture/querying.data.md
10. Charlot Cobben: Get a SMW property:

    ‎

    public static function getSemanticProperty( $title, string $propertyLabel ) {
       if ( $title === null ) {
          return null;
       }
    
       if ( is_string( $title ) ) {
          $title = Title::newFromText( $title );
       }
    
       // Use Semantic MediaWiki code to properly retrieve the value
       $page = SMWDIWikiPage::newFromTitle( $title );
       $store    = StoreFactory::getStore();
       $data     = $store->getSemanticData( $page );
       $property = SMWDIProperty::newFromUserLabel( $propertyLabel );
       $values   = $data->getPropertyValues( $property );
    
       if ( count( $values ) > 0 ) {
          $value = array_shift( $values );
          if ( method_exists( $value, 'getTitle' ) ) {
             return $value->getTitle();
          }
    
          return $value->getString();
    
       } else {
          return null;
       }
    }‎

12. Greg Rundlett: Posted above into Element for 'saving' outside this meeting
13. Brian Wolff: FREEDOM is the issue 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🦅🦅
14. Bryan: @Charly, did Google cut off some of your code?
15. Charlot Cobben: Google? I copied it from some code I have... I'll put in in Element
16. Bernhard Krabina: just read about Elastic vs. OpenSearch here: https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/pull/5451
17. Bryan: Google Meet chat, I think it cut off the end?
18. Charlot Cobben: I mean etherpad
