Hi all,
I'm an enthusiast in MediaWiki Development and I'm having some troubles starting off. I have been administering MediaWiki installation on my website for quite some time but for the past 4 days I'm struggling to get a hack. Please help me out.
I've read the material given in the Manual, How to Become a MediaWiki Hacker, how to Debug and all the other relevant pages related to development.
Till now, I've tried the following, but the wiki on my localhost functions as though no changes have taken place (I've not tried all this on my website yet) :
1) Applied the first hack given on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Customizing_edit_toolbar [not even the table icon appears] 2) Set the predicate (preg_match) to zero in Parser.php (689) [it still parses it as a table] 3) removed all the content of index.php !! [it runs]
and a lot of things were tried out, but no success. However, wiki does respond when I switch off the MySql service or move a file (such as WebStart.php).
I've not had any progress due to this unexpectedly weird stuff going on. Please give a hint or a pointer in the right direction.
Thanks Taja
