Method 1: Command Line (Recommended)

Run the following command in your terminal. This automatically updates your composer.json:

BASH 
composer require vendor/package:dev-master


If the package is not stable, you may need to add the stability flag:
BASH 
composer require vendor/package:dev-master@dev

Method 2: Manual composer.json Edit

Add the package to your require section with the dev-master constraint:

JSON 
{
    "require": {
        "vendor/package": "dev-master"
    }
}


Crucial Step: If you receive an error about stability, you must allow dev packages in your composer.json by adding:
JSON 
{
    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "prefer-stable": true,
    "require": {
        "vendor/package": "dev-master"
    }
}

  • minimum-stability: Allows installation of dev versions.
  • prefer-stable: Ensures stable versions are used for other dependencies where possible.

Specific Commit (Optional)

If you need to lock dev-master to a specific commit hash to prevent breaking changes:
BASH 
composer require vendor/package:dev-master#<commit-hash>

Example: «vendor/package»: «dev-master#a1b2c3d»

Note on Branch Names

If the repository uses main instead of master (common in newer projects), replace dev-master with dev-main.]]> Re: Problems when updating from 6.2.1 to 6.3.0 from ascrsoft https://wackowiki.org/doc/Comment4597 https://wackowiki.org/doc/Comment4597 Fri, 31 Jul 2026 15:57:18 +0200 ascrsoft

You must add a CSP nonce to the script. See theme header how its done.

HTML 
<script src="[ ' db: base_path ' ]js/core/helpers.js"[ ' db: csp_nonce ' ]></script>

HTML 
<script[ ' db: csp_nonce ' ]>
	var lang	= '[ ' lang | js ' ]';
	function translate_web(language)
	{ 
		document.location = 'https://translate.google.com/translate?langpair='+lang+'|'+ language.value+'&sl='+lang+'&tl='+ language.value+'&u=' + escape(document.location);
	}

	if (top.frames.length != 0)
	{
		document.getElementById("translateCombo").disabled=true;
	}

Maybe its better to replace the inline script completely.

JS 
// assets/js/translate.js

/**

 * Expects a <select id="translateCombo"> with a data-current-lang attribute.
 */
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
    const combo = document.getElementById('translateCombo');
    
    // If the element doesn't exist on this page, do nothing
    if (!combo) return;

    // 1. Read the current language from the data attribute (set in HTML)
    const currentLang = combo.dataset.currentLang;

    // 2. Attach the change event listener (replaces inline onchange)
    combo.addEventListener('change', function () {
        translateWeb(currentLang, this.value);
    });

    // 3. Handle frames logic (replaces inline script block)
    if (window.top !== window.self) {
        combo.disabled = true;
    }
});

/**
 * Redirects to Google Translate.
 * @param {string} fromLang - Source language code (e.g., 'en')
 * @param {string} toLang   - Target language code (e.g., 'es')
 */
function translateWeb(fromLang, toLang) {
    // If user selects the same language or default empty value, do nothing
    if (!toLang || fromLang === toLang) return;

    const url = 'https://translate.google.com/translate' +
        '?langpair=' + encodeURIComponent(fromLang + '|' + toLang) +
        '&sl=' + encodeURIComponent(fromLang) +
        '&tl=' + encodeURIComponent(toLang) +
        '&u=' + encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);

    window.location.href = url;
}


HTML 
<div id="login-box">

For my part, I simply fixed the incorrect color in the dark theme.
CSS 
nav-chapter {
  background-color: var(--ww-bg-secondary);
  padding: 10px;
}

I also noticed that the way I used to use Google Translate no longer works because the browser disables it; the JS doesn’t allow it to be embedded directly on the page.

Is dark mode always enabled by default for users who aren't logged in? It kind of feels like there's a “day/night” button missing so you can easily switch between dark and light modes.

One more thing—there’s a small issue with the dark CSS.

.nav-chapter {
  background-color: rgb(241, 241, 241);

Without the MySQLi extension, PHP does not recognize MySQLi-specific constants like MYSQLI_REPORT_OFF, MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR, or MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT.

Cause
The MySQLi extension is missing or disabled in your php.ini configuration.

There is a similar issue with SQLite:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method PDO::sqliteCreateFunction() in /wiki/class/dbpdo.php:57

We should contain both cases with a try and catch, showing the user what went wrong, e.g.
The MySQLi extension is missing or disabled.

I suspect some lib & Composer issue.

Fatal error: Uncaught RuntimeException: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.5.0". You are running 8.3.32. in 
/wiki/vendor/composer/platform_check.php:22 
Stack trace:

#4 {main} thrown in /wiki/vendor/composer/platform_check.php on line 22


The issue is not with your composer.json syntax (“php” : “8.3 – 8.5” is valid), but with a mismatch between your server's PHP version and the generated vendor/composer/platform_check.php file.

The Root Cause


Your composer.json correctly allows PHP 8.3 to 8.5, and you are running 8.3.32, which should be compatible. However, the error indicates that the platform_check.php file (auto-generated by Composer in the vendor/ directory) was created on a machine running PHP 8.5+ (or has locked dependencies that require 8.5).

This file enforces the strictest PHP version required by any of your installed dependencies, not just your root composer.json.

How to Fix It 

1. Regenerate the Vendor Directory (Recommended)

The vendor folder likely contains a platform_check.php generated with incorrect constraints. You must rebuild it using your current PHP version (8.3.32).

Run these commands in your project root:
BASH 
# Remove the existing vendor folder and lock file
rm -rf src/vendor composer.lock

# Re-install dependencies using your current PHP 8.3.32
composer install

Note: Your composer.json specifies “vendor-dir”: «src/vendor”, so ensure you delete the correct folder.

2. Check for Conflicting Dependencies

If composer install fails, one of your dependencies might strictly require PHP 8.5. Run:
BASH 
composer why-not php 8.3.32

This will list which package is blocking PHP 8.3. If a dependency like phiki/phiki or phpmailer/phpmailer has updated to require 8.5, you may need to constrain that specific package to an older version in your composer.json.

composer why-not php 8.3.32
Package "php 8.3.32" found in version "8.3.32".
wackowiki/htmlsax3 4.1.3 requires php (^8.5)


Well, well, well – guess I forgot to set it back to PHP 8.3 – let me check. This is my first release with Composer, stay with me.

Summary

Your composer.json is correct. The error exists because the vendor directory was likely built on a different machine with a higher PHP version requirement locked in. Deleting src/vendor and composer.lock and running composer install on your 8.3.32 server will resolve the issue.

FIXED with 8bc3f0d
