Check usage (experimental)

LookupUser (Lookup User) is an extension to retrieve information about a user such as email address, user ID and the user preferences, i.e. everything that the user has specified in his or her preferences. This extension also displays the last time a user either made a login, or any edit, which it lists as the "User record last touched:" time and date element of its log.

[edit] Installation

  1. Create a new directory "LookupUser" in your "extensions" directory.
  2. Download from Subversion (1.11 and higher - 1.10 and lower), and put these files in the new "LookupUser" directory.
  3. Add this to your LocalSettings.php, somewhere near the bottom:
    require_once("$IP/extensions/LookupUser/LookupUser.php");
    
  4. Under that line, you have to add who can use Special:LookupUser.
If you want that sysops can use it:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['lookupuser'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['lookupuser'] = true;
If you want an additional user group: (those with the 'userrights' permission can assign this group - bureaucrats by default)
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['lookupuser'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['lookupuser']['lookupuser'] = true;

LookupUser is translatable through translatewiki.net.
