[Mediawiki-l] Usability Initiative Extensions / WikEd Toolbar Conflict?

[John Concilus]

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)

Further info:

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.
