ICT:Cargo-Workflow – Final Working Configuration (Cargo + PageForms)

This page documents the final, stable configuration for the postcard archive using Cargo and PageForms. It contains the complete working setup in one place, ready for successors.

1) LocalSettings.php configuration

# Cargo extension
$wgCargoDBtype = "mysql";
$wgCargoDBserver = "10.10.10.2";
$wgCargoDBname = "cargodb";
$wgCargoDBuser = "cargouser";
$wgCargoDBpassword = "Mhv+mak!90";
$wgCargoDBprefix = "";
$wgCargo24HourTime = true;

wfLoadExtension( 'Cargo' );

# PageForms extension
wfLoadExtension( 'PageForms' );
$wgPageFormsUploadableFiles = true;

Important: $wgPageFormsUploadableFiles = true; must appear after wfLoadExtension( 'PageForms' ).

2) Template:Item

This template defines the Cargo table and how each item page displays.

<includeonly>
{{#cargo_declare:
  _table=Items,
  Title=String,
  Image=File
}}

'''Title:''' {{{Title}}}

'''Image:''' [[File:{{{Image}}}|400px]]
</includeonly>

Notes:

• Only the <includeonly> section is used by Cargo and PageForms.
• The Image field must be declared as File.

---

3) Form:Item

This is the form used to create new items.

{{{info|page name=Item_<unique number>}}}
{{{for template|Item}}}

;Title
:{{{field|Title}}}

;Image
:{{{field|Image|input type=upload|uploadable}}}

{{{end template}}}

{{{standard input|save}}}
{{{standard input|cancel}}}

Key points:

• The info directive must be the first line (no blank lines above it).
• input type=upload|uploadable enables the upload widget.
• Page names are automatically generated: Item_0001, Item_0002, …
