Thanks for your help! I reverted my skin-touching blunder, just
downloaded the PHP script file (instead of copy pasting it into a .php
file) and reuploaded it...now everything is running smoothly...
Kind regards,
Birger
1. You might not have copied a real PHP script file,
for starters
2. You didn't need to touch the skins, and should NEVER just snarf
files off Wikipedia
3. If $wgUseDatabaseMessages = false; then editing the MediaWiki
namespace has no effect
Revert back in time to the point where all those changes are undone,
and give the following a shot:
1. Save the contents of
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/CharInsert/CharIā¦
into a CharInsert.php file, and place this in /path/to/wiki/extensions
2. Edit LocalSettings.php, and near the end, add "require_once(
'extensions/CharInsert.php' );"
3. Check the wiki hasn't fallen over and died
4. If not using the MediaWiki namespace, edit languages/Messages.php,
find the message "edittools" and add something like
<charinsert>a b c d e f g</charinsert>
to it, replacing the example characters above with whatever's
difficult to type for your users.
5. Attempt to edit a page and see if the little box pops up near the bottom
