Installation [edit]
- Download the Extension:ExtensionFunctions.php
- Copy the ExtensionFunctions.php to the /extensions/ directory in your MediaWiki folder.
- Make /extensions/Deleteuser directory in your MediaWiki folder.
- Copy all three extension files to that new directory.
- Add this line in LocalSettings.php:
require_once("extensions/Deleteuser/SpecialDeleteuser.php");
- If you have Makesysop extension, add these lines to LocalSettings.php:
and
$wgGroupPermissions['steward']['deleteuser'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['deleteuser'] = false;
Localization [edit]
The file SpecialDeleteuser.i18n.php contains arrays for localized versions. For example, a German version could be added that reads as follows
$wgDeleteuserMessages['de'] = array( 'deleteuser' => 'Benutzerlöschung', 'deleteusername' => 'Benutzername:', 'deleteusersubmit' => 'Löschen', 'deleteusererrordoesnotexist' => 'Der Benutzer "$1" existiert nicht', 'deleteusererrorinvalid' => 'Der Benutzername "$1" ist ungültig', 'deleteusersuccess' => 'Der Benutzer "[[Benutzer:$1|$1]]" (mit $2 Bearbeitungen) wurde gelöscht.', 'deleteuserlogpage' => 'Benutzerlöschungs-Logbuch', 'deleteuserlogpagetext' => 'Dies ist eine Liste der letzten gelöschten Benutzer.', 'deleteuserlogentry' => '', # Don't translate this 'deleteuserlog' => 'hat Benutzer "[[Benutzer:$1|$1]]" (mit $2 Bearbeitungen) gelöscht',
Using [edit]
Enter special page Special:Deleteuser, type username and press Delete.
Changelog and known bugs [edit]
- 27 October 2006 - published first version of extension.
Bugs
- The extension does not work in my environment:
-MediaWiki 1.6.8 with page access restriction patch
-PHP: 4.3.4 with MySQL: 4.0.18
-Extensions Tasks 0.51 and EmbedURL - For me, it doesn't work either. It seems to use ExtensionFunctions.php which is not supported after 1.6 see here mwusers.com
Even after installing it, it didn't work. 8-(
- There is a bug in the DeleteuserSQL module, in the call to the delete functions. The "$uid" variable is the local instance and need to be changed to the class variable, as below:
$dbw->DELETE( 'user', array ( 'user_id' => '''$this->uid''' ), $fname ); $dbw->DELETE( 'user_groups', array ( 'ug_user' => '''$this->uid''' ), $fname );
- 25 June 2007 - In the i18n file, "$wgRenameuserMessages" was used instead of "$wgDeleteuserMessages" in the array declaration and in the definition of the values for English ('en').
$wgDeleteuserMessages = array(); $wgDeleteuserMessages['en'] = array( [...]
How it works? [edit]
This extension does these SQL querries:
DELETE FROM `user_groups` WHERE ug_user = here USER ID; DELETE FROM `user` WHERE user_id = here USER ID;
