Hello,
I am running the wonderful Usuability Initiative features on several of my MediaWiki installs successfully, and really think they work well. However, on one my instances of MW 1.16 we use for our school district's Open Content curriculum I can't get the new toolbar to work.
I think I am having an apparent conflict between the WikiEditor toolbar, and Caycle's "WikEd" toolbar extension that has been running on the site for four or so years, and can't seem to remove it effectively. That older project code, and the required PARC Wiki Dashboard tools are the only major differences between my sites that I can see. I've tried removing the PARC tool, but nothing changed.
I have the Vector skin installed, and all modules are showing up...everything looks great until I try to use the new WikiEditor toolbar. An older version of this extension:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikEd
When I or any of my users clicks "Edit" the script tries to call the WikEd code, and all we get is my choice of:
1) A blank space where the toolbar should be...no toolbar at all
2) A nonfunctional WikEd toolbar. Nothing works on it. Click the tool to make it disappear (upper right) and get an error
3) Turn all Usability Initiative features off, and load the standard original flavor toolbar
Try as I might to remove the WikEd one, I can't seem to keep it from calling that code. I've escaped it, taken out every reference I can find....and it keeps coming back. I removed the "Common.js" where it was stored, cleared every kind of cache possible (I think)...from the server itself to our machines' hardware level cache and browser cache. Tried different browsers, but didn't help. No proxy in the upstream path.
I can't find any instructions for removing the WikEd code on the developer's home page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Cacycle/wikEd
Since it is an OLD version of that toolbar, I can't even find the installation instructions to deconstruct what I did to get it set for "site wide" use, rather than just user-specific. In reading them, the instructions seem to have changed, and I can't figure out why the code keeps coming back....
Here are my specifics, but they are identical to my other sites running MW 1.16...except for the WikEd toolbar:
MediaWiki 1.16.0 PHP 5.2.14 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.0.91-community-log
UsabilityInitiative (Version 0.1.1) User Daily Contributions (Version 0.1.1) Vector (Version 0.2.0) WikiEditor (Version 0.2.0)

A huge THANKS in advance if anyone has any clue how I can remove this code, or fix the problem in some other way. I will post to Caycle's page, but am hoping to get this fixed before school opens in the morning, and teachers need to edit.
