Thanks, Tim. My "Contact" message received this reply (12 hours ago):

Changed in the newer versions of SMW, you now need the smwallowaskpage right to use Special:Ask.
  +
This has been corrected in the code last week, and will be going live with this week's release

(sometime today/tomorrow)

Hi,
  +
  +
I have the category 'Thing', with form field 'Picture', with the semantic
  +
property 'ThingHasPicture'. Input type = 'Text', parameters 'uploadable,
  +
image preview', semantic property type = 'text'. All configured via Page
  +
Schemas.
  +
  +
I changed the Thing template to show the image, as follows (which works):
  +
:[[file:{{{Picture}}}|thumb|{{{Picture}}}]].
  +
  +
Now I want to have an #ask query, and one column showing the image (as
  +
thumbnail). So I tried:
  +
<nowiki>
  +
{{#ask:
  +
[[Category:Thing]]
  +
| ?Name
  +
| ?ThingHasPicture
  +
}}
  +
</nowiki>
  +
  +
However, this doesn't work. What should I do?
  +

Kind regards,

{{#set:

Some of our pages already do that sort of thing. I want us to be able to do it again on tree pages. [[Charlemagne/tree]] used to look great, a good example to show Familypedia off.

Forums: Index > Help desk > Problem with Special : Ask



Early problem fixed[]

Copy of message I've just sent to Contact Wikia:


This appeared on the Yugioh Wiki when I clicked "Further results" at the bottom of a table, and I thought it was nothing I should be concerned about. But now I've got it on Familypedia, where we were not getting that problem before:

Permission error Special page

You are not allowed to execute the action you have requested.

Return to Family History and Genealogy Wiki.


The URL says http://familypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Ask/-5B-5BDeath-20year::1880-5D-5D/-3FFather/-3FMother/-3FAge-20at-20death


I've just got the same result when trying to use Special:Ask in the title of this forum.

I was wanting to find which Familypedia people died in 1880, a rather basic search. Anyone else get the same when trying to find more info in a table? --- Robin Patterson (Talk to me) 06:15, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

This was a bug that has been fixed. In other news, we're going to try a technical backend change to see if it A) fixes the form issue on this site and B) just improves overall query improvement. The backend change is putting the SMW-related tables on its own database cluster. This should alleviate database memory usage. --daNASCAT WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 21:00, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Code for the image page is : 

An image taken in Regensburg in Germany, taken during the Semantic MediaWiki Conference 2018.
[[Fichier:Regensburg.jpg|néant|vignette|600x600px|this is a test image]]

{{#set:
Has country=Germany
|Picture=[[Fichier:Regensburg.jpg|néant|vignette|300x300px|this is a test image]]
|Has city=Regensburg
}}

[[Category:Category 20201224]]

Code for that second link is : 

{{#ask:
[[Category:Category 20201224]]
[[Has country::Germany]]
|?Has city=City
|?Picture=Picture
|format=table
}}

And it looks like this:
