I have a couple of questions before I do the next release of the TableEdit extension/special page 1) In the TableEdit extension, the table data is stored in an external mysql database. I had been hard-coding the name of this database into the extension to avoid creating a global variable that the user would put in LocalSettings. But it seems like that was a bad idea, especially if one wants two instances on the same mysql server... which I discovered I do want.
So, is there a recommendation for how to do this? Right now, the global is just $wikibox_db (the old name turned into a variable). Should it get a $wg prefix? I just want to make sure my extension plays well with others.
2) I'm not sure what I did, but I could have sworn that MW sent me back to the Special page if I log in from the special page. But now it's sending me back to the page that called the special page... which is not necessarily a bad thing in this case, but I don't get why it's doing that.
Thanks in advance, as usual for any input. ===================================== Jim Hu Associate Professor Dept. of Biochemistry and Biophysics 2128 TAMU Texas A&M Univ. College Station, TX 77843-2128 979-862-4054
