[Mediawiki-l] Re: Certain counters not showing

[Jan Steinman]

Well, this got a big yawn last time I posted this, so I had to go 
digging. I did find out something further: SpecialPopularpages.php 
hard-codes for namespace 0.

I had to hack in the following to make it work for all namespaces. 
Sorry this isn't in the form of a diff. If this hasn't been done for 
1.5, and the powers that be want it so, I'm willing to figure out 
enough about CVS to get it into 1.5, but I think I need some 
authorization, or at least a little hand-holding.

You can see this work at 
http://www.islandseeds.org/wiki/Special:Popularpages

-------- SpecialPopularpages.php, lines 40-53 --------

			WHERE cur_is_redirect=0";
//			WHERE cur_namespace=0 AND cur_is_redirect=0";
	}

	function formatResult( $skin, $result ) {
		global $wgLang, $wgContLang, $wgCanonicalNamespaceNames;

		$link = $skin->makeKnownLink(
			($result->namespace ? 
($wgCanonicalNamespaceNames[$result->namespace] . ':') : '') . 
$result->title,
			$wgContLang->convert( $result->title ) );
		$nv = wfMsg( "nviews", $wgLang->formatNum( $result->value ) );
		return "{$link} ({$nv})";
	}
}
