Forum:SMW Properties not visible anymore

Hi there,

over on the Pirates of the Burning Sea Wiki, I have started to make regular use to Semantic Media Wiki to set various properties for mission and NPC articles. Until a few days ago, all properties associated with an article would be displayed in a box below the main body of that article (under the header "Facts about "). But now that's not the case anymore. I still get this property box in the Preview window when editing an article, but not anymore after I've hit Save. The SMW properties still get set correctly though.

And at the same time this started happening, SMW stopped recognizing the asterisk ("*") as a wildcard character in inline queries. Not that this is a problem - I've since adjusted what queries we had to a more "correct" format - but that makes me think there could be a relation between those two incidents.

I noticed there's now a SMW version 1.2, which apparently has some changes to the way inline queries are handled. Has this gone live on Wikia recently? To recap, my only real problem is the missing property infobox, not the inline queries.

Here's an older article that still has the property box:

Example 1

And here's a new one that doesn't:

Example 2

I've also taken a look through my (account) properties to see if there's a new option there to display/hide these boxes, but couldn't see anything. Any help is appreciated, thanks! --Ailar 12:35, 2 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I see the box on both. Cache problem or something ? — TulipVorlax 15:21, 2 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Maybe, but clearing the cache, deleting all cookies, and reloading the page with CTRL+F5 all didn't help. One page displays the box, the other doesn't. If I edit a page that displays the box, it stops doing so after I hit Save (I've just verified that again). I'm running FF 3.0.1., by the way... --Ailar 16:01, 2 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok. I should i've check in Firefox. The second page effectivly dont show it's box in Firefox (i have same version). — TulipVorlax 18:13, 2 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Glad it's not just me then :) Although there was no FF update lately - did Wikia switch to the newest version of SMW? If yes, then it seems to be an issue with SMW and FF 3.0.1. I guess I'll just wait for a fix then, I can't be the only one with that problem. If you can point me towards the correct web-page, I'll submit a bug report if you like. --Ailar 18:24, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I am not in the possession of that information. You could try Contact Wikia. But i think you already did by posting here. Surely someone will come by soon. Or, there a way to contact them personnally. — TulipVorlax 22:19, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
