Usage

Please view the documentation for usage instructions.

Download instructions

Please download the code from SVN and place it in $IP/extensions/RightFunctions/. Note: $IP stands for the root directory of your MediaWiki installation, the same directory that holds LocalSettings.php.

Note:  If you have MediaWiki versions 1.11.1 or lower (as well as earlier versions of 1.12), download RightFunctions_old.php (ignore the other two files), then rename it to RightFunctions.php. If you have 1.12.0, download RightFunctions.php and RightFunctions.i18n.php (ignore RightFunctions_old.php).

Installation

To install this extension, add the following to LocalSettings.php:

require_once("$IP/extensions/RightFunctions/RightFunctions.php");
# put any parameters here, BELOW the require_once call

Notes

If anyone would like to test this on earlier versions (1.10 and downward) and report on my talk page whether it works or not, I'd greatly appreciate it :)
