Description John Fogarty 2011-06-02 17:51:47 UTC
I'm not 100% sure this should be posted as an api issue.  

With Mediawiki 1.17 the Send To Wiki feature of OpenOffice/Libreoffice is broken. This could of course be intentional, because of some other feature that needed to change how remote publishing works, but I wanted to be sure and let everyone know.

Is that this OOo extension?

Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2011-06-02 18:04:38 UTC
Download link there gives "502 Bad Gateway" error, so can't try it...
Comment 3 John Fogarty 2011-06-02 18:21:03 UTC
That's the extension.  It's built into the more recent versions of openoffice and libreoffice, so you don't have to download it, it's already there.

I've confirmed that it works on 1.16.5 and 1.16.4 but not on 1.17.Beta1
Comment 4 Brion Vibber 2011-06-02 18:25:08 UTC
Ah quite so -- it is hiding in there in LibreOffice 3.3.2. :D

Did a quick test sending a page to local test wiki; it didn't actually save the edit successfully, but did go ahead and open up the (empty) page in my web browser as though it had been successful. Will see if I can see what it's actually doing...
Comment 5 Brion Vibber 2011-06-02 18:35:11 UTC
As far as I can tell, the plugin just doesn't send any text along with the save POST...

array (
  'wpTextbox1' => '',
  'wpSummary' => 'whaaaaat',
  'wpSection' => '',
  'wpEdittime' => '20110602183351',
  'wpSave' => 'Save page',
  'wpEditToken' => '5eb180c19a480b22bd373da0cdd4fc47+\\',
)

The wpTextbox1 field should contain the page text to be saved, but there's just nothing there.

Ewww. So it doesn't even use the API? :(
Comment 7 John Fogarty 2011-06-02 18:37:26 UTC
lovely, guess i'm not totally crazy and the plugin is the culprit not mediawiki.

Thanks for looking at it.  Such a bad addon, but I was hoping it would make publishing articles easier for my users.
Comment 8 Brion Vibber 2011-06-02 18:43:14 UTC
I get the same with 1.16 and current trunk (1.19-svn); no page gets saved.
