(all below is PHP) 0) Pick a file for your extension, and include it in LocalSettings.php 1) First you must register a function name with the extension tag 2) write that function 3) wiki text comes into the function 4) whatever you return from the function should be valid HTML, because it will be spit out on the client browser. :::: Society for Rampant Chaos endorses Bush! <http://rampantchaos.org> :::: Jan Steinman <http://www.Bytesmiths.com/Item/99-0590-21>

Upgrade from 1.4.11 to 1.5.2 Won't Work - Help?
by Xaviar Xerexes 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

*I am trying to upgrade from 1.4.11 to 1.5.2 and am getting this error - I am following the upgrade instructions to load the new files, delete localsettings.php and run the web installer. After putting in the settings and hitting submit I get a page that goes through some table changes until it runs into this Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wfinverttimestamp() in /home/comix2/public_html/maintenance/InitialiseMessages.inc on line 120 Does anyone know what I can do? What I might have done wrong? ***

formatting wikitext inside extensions
by Frazer Irving 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

Hi all, sorry if this is the wrong list for this type of question. I'm playing around with writing my own extension, and I would like it to accept wikitext as input and return HTML (as well as some other stuff). For example <extendy> [[Click me and die]] </extendy> Would return an HTML link to the Click_me_and_die page on my wiki. At the present I am messing around with the docs at http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/doc/MediaWiki/Parser/Parser.html and trying to do something like $output = $parser->transformMsg($input, new ParserOptions()) which is not working, but there could be a illion reasons for that. I understand too little about php and mediawiki for me to be confident that I am on the right track. Basically I have three questions: 1. Is what I'm trying to do supported? 2. Am I looking in completely the wrong place for info of this kind? 3. What is the best source of documentation for simple usages of the internal API from within extensions. Naturally I will welcome and comments or suggestions. FYI: I am a competent Perl hacker but PHP is a bit new for me. Cheers Frazer

Google search on nav bar
by Ben Arnold (DSLWN) 10 Nov '05

Is it easy to configure MediaWiki so that there is a Google search box on the navigation bar? It's definitely a nice-to-have, but I think it would be quite neat if it can be done easily. Ben

different "navigation links" on different pages?
by Tomasz Chmielewski 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Is it possible to set different "navigation links" (those to the left, above search box) on different pages? Generally, I would like to have the same links on all pages, but on some, I'd like to have them changed. Is it possible? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org WPKG - software deployment and upgrades with Samba

I thought about changing the code to do the redirect. I think I found the place in the code to make that change. However, I'm not sure about hte syntax to make this magic happen. Any hints on where to find the right code? thx, Eric __________________________________ Yahoo! FareChase: Search multiple travel sites in one click. http://farechase.yahoo.com
