Foswiki extension updates wiki.boossy.be

28 April 2026 - 16:54 | Version 10 |

Skin style

I created a skin style with a cyan background to see the difference between wiki.boossy.be and wiki.bousard.be:
  • pub/System/JazzyNoteTheme/JazzyNoteStyle.css
  • pub/System/JazzyNoteTheme/JazzyNoteStyle.css.gz

Backups

  • I have a backup before the upgrade from 2.1.9 to 2.1.11.
  • And a backup after the upgrade.
  • And a backup after the upgrade of the extensions - containing one error (see further, FlexWebListPlugin)

CPAN (Perl modules)

As always, some Perl modules are missing. You can always find them here: Search the CPAN - metacpan.org

Each time, the download is found in the top left corner.
  • unzip the tar.gz file
  • unzip the tar file
  • go down in the unzipped folder to the lib subdirectory
  • copy the directory in that folder to the foswiki/lib/CPAN/lib directory

After the upgrade from the Foswiki core from 2.1.9 to 2.1.11.

Then I first solved the exclamation marks etc. in configure.

Follow the installation process of an extension by issuing the top command in PuTTY window. As long as you see jsonrpc command(s), the installation is being processed.

FlexWebList warning or error

FlexWebListPlugin werkt na de update, maar zorgt voor een Error-indicatie in de config-pagina.

Zie: Question2244: Flexweblist - error or not? - Support - Foswiki

Disabled extensions

Disabled extensions before the updates - only those visible when Expert mode was not on - because, apparently, more show up when Expert mode is on:
  • AutoViewTemplatePlugin
  • CompareRevisionsAddonPlugin
  • EditTablePlugin
  • ImagePlugin
  • TimeCalcPlugin
  • TWikiCompatibilityPlugin

Issues / Mods

JQuery (1)

!JQueryPlugin threw an error message:

UI Theme: May not be undefined

Filled in 'foswiki', since I found that on my other environments, otherwise I wouldn't have known...

JQuery (2)

JQueryPlugin > Deprecated Modules tab

If checked, a warning appears:

Meta has been deprecated. Please use HTML5 data attribures instead.

Unchecked/Disabled the Metadata setting.

ForceDefaultUrlHost

If it's not checked, the following error appears:

Insecure configuration setting detected: it appears you are not running from behind a proxy. If you disable this option, you are vulnerable to a host header attack.

So simply check it!

ImpagePlugin

ImagePlugin remains disabled on this environment, because I can't install ImageMagick.
