[Mediawiki-l] FileLink-Extension and MediaWiki 1.11.0

[Katharina Wolkwitz]

Hi all,

I've been using the FileLink-extension 
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FileLink without a problem with my 
mediawiki 1.10.0 installation, but after upgrading my test-wiki to 1.11.0 I got 
the following error-messages:

Detected bug in an extension! Hook filelinkDo failed to return a value; should 
return true to continue hook processing or false to abort.

Backtrace:

#0 /opt/lampp/htdocs/_fhbwiki/includes/Parser.php(332):

MediaWiki->initialize(Object(Title), Object(OutputPage), Object(User),

After posting these to the extension's discussion page 
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:FileLink and also here 
http://assela.pathirana.net/Talk:File_Link_Extension, I got the tipp to change 
every occurrence of "return;" to "return true;".
I did this and also added a "return true;" to the end of the file/function. Now 
I don't get the errors anymore, but neither do I get the filelink-button in the 
edit mode. :-(

As the original author of the extension didn't react to my postings at all and 
whoever gave me the described tipp hasn't posted any further comments, I'm now 
hoping there might be someone who'd be willing to "adopt" this extension and get 
it to work under mediawiki 1.11.x++
It doesn't seem a very large extension to me codewise but I simply lack the 
needed programming skills to get it to work myself.

But as my wiki is using filelinks very much, I cannot update the productive 
version without the extension...

Thanks in advance!
