Install Semantic MediaWiki and Semantic Result Formats

If you don't already have it, install Composer first.

Create a composer.local.json file and require the extensions:

cd ..
cp composer.local.json-sample composer.local.json
COMPOSER=composer.local.json composer require --no-update mediawiki/semantic-media-wiki:~3.2
COMPOSER=composer.local.json composer require --no-update mediawiki/semantic-result-formats:~3.2
composer update --no-dev

Open /w in your Browser (i.e. localhost/w for a local installation) and follow the instructions, chose Tweeki as a standard skin, activate ParserFunctions, Page Forms, and Semantic Organization extensions. It is recommended to use semorg only with private wikis (only registered users are allowed to read and edit the wiki).

add the following to LocalSettings.php:

# Use Tweeki as default skin
$wgDefaultSkin = 'tweeki';

# Show Tweeki's advanced features by default
$wgDefaultUserOptions['tweeki-advanced'] = 1;

# Use Bootstrap Tooltips
$wgTweekiSkinUseTooltips = true;

# Enable String Functions
$wgPFEnableStringFunctions = true;

# Enable Semantic MediaWiki
enableSemantics('YOURDOMAIN.TLD');
$smwgEnabledEditPageHelp = false;
$smwgLinksInValues = true;
$smwgPageSpecialProperties[] = '_CDAT';

# Settings for Page Forms
$wgPageFormsAutocompleteOnAllChars = true;

# Allow display titles for automatically created page names
$wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false;

# Use full screen width when no sidebar is shown
$wgTweekiSkinGridNone = [ 
  "mainoffset" => 0, 
  "mainwidth" => 12
];

php maintenance/install.php --dbname=DBNAME --dbuser=DBUSER --dbpass=DBPASS --scriptpath=/w --lang=en --pass=USERPASS "WIKINAME" "USERNAME"
php maintenance/update.php --skip-external-dependencies

Replace DBNAME, DBUSER and DBPASS with the database credentials. WIKINAME is the name you chose for your wiki. USERNAME/USERPASS are for the admin user that will be automatically created so you can log in to the wiki.

add the following to LocalSettings.php:

# Loading extensions
wfLoadExtension('ParserFunctions');
wfLoadExtension('PageForms');
wfLoadExtension('SemanticOrganization');
wfLoadExtension( 'SemanticResultFormats' );

# Make Wiki private
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;

# Use Tweeki as default skin
$wgDefaultSkin = 'tweeki';

# Show Tweeki's advanced features by default
$wgDefaultUserOptions['tweeki-advanced'] = 1;

# Use Bootstrap Tooltips
$wgTweekiSkinUseTooltips = true;

# Enable String Functions
$wgPFEnableStringFunctions = true;

# Enable Semantic MediaWiki
enableSemantics('YOURDOMAIN.TLD');
$smwgEnabledEditPageHelp = false;
$smwgLinksInValues = true;
$smwgPageSpecialProperties[] = '_CDAT';

# Settings for Page Forms
$wgPageFormsAutocompleteOnAllChars = true;

# Allow display titles for automatically created page names
$wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false;

# Use full screen width when no sidebar is shown
$wgTweekiSkinGridNone = [ 
  "mainoffset" => 0, 
  "mainwidth" => 12
];
