Thanks for the suggestion! I am now looking into the bundled extension Renameuser and
following its methods, like:
$res = $dbw->select( $table ...

Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Some problems after 1.17 / 1.18: DatabaseFunctions.php and
addMessage()

There's two issues I'm having after upgrading
from 1.16.5 to 1.18.0:
1. Some people (including me) had included "DatabaseFunctions.php" in
their extensions, for example by doing:
include_once './extensions/DatabaseFunctions.php';
1.17 took that file out (file: History):
=== Configuration changes in 1.17 ===
* DatabaseFunctions.php that was needed for compatibility with pre-1.3
extensions has been removed.
I was using the database functions for example:
$my_query = wfQuery($this_query, DB_WRITE);
Grab the master database for writes
with $dbw = wfGetDB( DB_MASTER );
You 'can' do a query on that using $dbw->query( $this_query );
However I DO NOT recommend you just start throwing raw sql. Continuing
that pattern is a bad one that won't match the standards that other
extensions live up to. Introducing sql injection vulnerabilities will be
easier, and
I recommend you change your code to make use of the abstract ->select,
->update, ->insert, etc... methods.
I can fix that temporarily by copying that file and
using it but I want
to work with whatever is "new" now so I dont use any old methods.
2. I'm also getting this in a few extensions:
Fatal error: Call to a member function addMessage() on a non-object in
[...]/extensions/MetaDescriptionTag.php on line 72
That function is being used like this: $wgMessageCache->addMessage
Anyone know any workarounds? I'm going to work on it in any case in the
next few days and will report back if I'm successful.
Move your i18n messages
to an .i18n.php file and add it to
$wgExtensionMessagesFiles.
