This extension creates JavaScript popup DIVs (boxes) containing the prominent contributors list generated by the Contributors Extension.

[edit] Requirements

This extension requires that the Contributors Extension is already installed and working.

[edit] Installation

1. Download the latest snapshot and extract it to your extensions directory.
2. Add the following code to your LocalSettings.php (at the bottom)

require_once( "$IP/extensions/ContributorsAddon/ContributorsAddon.php" );

OR:

1. Go to the extensions folder: cd wiki-instal-folder/extensions
2. Get files from SVN: svn co http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/ContributorsAddon
3. Add the following code to your LocalSettings.php (at the bottom)

require_once( "$IP/extensions/ContributorsAddon/ContributorsAddon.php" );

[edit] Usage

Does not interfere with the core functionality of the Contributors Extension - when JavaScript is supported, moving your mouse over the 'Main Contributors' link will cause a popup DIV to be displayed containing the most prominent contributors to an article.

See the Contributors Extension for available configuration settings.
