Re: [Mediawiki-l] Template to display contributors

Thanks for this hint........... I wonder what all such features are hidden in Mediawiki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't try to change the skin. Will do that soon Regards, Jack ---------------------------------------------------------------- "Try and fail, but don't fail to try" -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Lonny Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2007 8:10 AM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Template to display contributors Hi Jack, I believe you get credits to show up by editing the DefaultSettings.php in the includes directory. Edit the following: *$wgMaxCredits = 0; * a *-1* shows all, a *0 *hides it, and *any other number* sets the maximum credits to show. Some caveats: 1. This can slow down your site. 2. This uses the authors real name (if they inputed it) instead of their handle. 3. It shows up on the bottom (See the footer at http://www.appropedia.org/for an example). ---- I think that you could edit the skin to have that part of the footer show up as a infobox on the side. Good luck, I would love to hear how it goes, Lonny On Nov 26, 2007 4:21 AM, Snowolf <snowolf(a)snowolf.eu> wrote: _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l This electronic mail (including any attachment thereto) may be confidential and privileged and is intended only for the individual or entity named above.
