The LiquidThreadsOverview extension adds a special page showing an overview of all recent discussions. Extension:LiquidThreads is mandatory for this to work.

Usage[edit]

Just click on the special page and enjoy.

The special page is also includable, with following parameter string:

{{Special:LiquidThreadsOverview/limit/showsummarized/namespace}}
  • limit defines the maximum number of threads (default 50)
  • showsummarized set this to true to also show summarized threads (default false)
  • namespace is one numerical id of a dicussion(!) namespace for filtering (default all)

Installation[edit]

  • Download and place the file(s) in a directory called LiquidThreadsOverview in your extensions/ folder.
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
    require_once "$IP/extensions/LiquidThreadsOverview/LiquidThreadsOverview.php";
    
  • Configure as required
  • Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration[edit]

There are three parameters to be set in LocalSettings.php:

parameter default value description
$wglqtoCss 'sortable' allows to change css style, just enter another css class here, e.g. 'sortable newmessagetable'
$wglqtoUseIcons false set this to true to have an Icon column. This is especially helpful, if you are relying heavily on namespaces
$wglqtoIconType 'svg' only used in conjunction with the above parameter. Sets Icon type of the images.
