Not compatible with SWM 4.0.0

[kghbln]

Setup and configuration

• SMW version: 4.0.0
• SCI version: master
• MW version: 1.35
• DB (MySQL etc. and version): MariaDB

Issue

After upgrading to SMW 4.0.0 the SemanticCite extension no longer works. Annotations with [[CiteRef::CitationKey]] no longer render as expected, i.e. as a citation marker^[1], instead a link to the CitationKey page is shown.

[krabina]

also the {{#scite:}} parser function does not work as if the extension was not installed. It shows in Special:Version, though.

I'm currently updating a SMW wiki and running into issues.

Installed Semantic Media Wiki 4.1, and Composer complained that Semantic Cite 2.1 depends on SMW ~3.0. To get around this, I'm using Semantic Cite dev-master. I'm guessing this extension is still working out kinks with SMW 4.x, but here's the error on update.php:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "CACHE_ANYTHING" in /srv/sites/_wiki/extensions/SemanticCite/DefaultSettings.php:45

The line in question is: $GLOBALS['scigMetadataResponseCacheType'] = CACHE_ANYTHING;

See #110

Should be fixed with #116. If not, feel free to reopen.

Reopening. Just tried to add SemanticCite to a MW 1.39 installation and got the Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "CACHE_ANYTHING" error again. So it is not fixed.

Thank you for noticing this. I was just about to post likewise on #116

Once you are ready with the compatibility issues, please, create a task for making a new release and ping me. I will publish a new release and tag it.

Ah, now I see all the rest. From #119 I get that this issue was fixed. @kizule Once you have done the CI please ping me and I will tag.

[krabina]

I don't see how #119 shoud fix the undefined constant error?

[krabina]

Just tried latest dev-master. Undefined constant error is still there. Must be fixed before we do a 3.x release.

What I find odd is how installing Semantic Cite completely breaks the wiki due to this error even if it is not enabled ein LocalSettings.php.
