Hi, in case you have a configuration like
* SEARCH * GROUP-SIDEBAR * TOOLBOX * Links
the extension moves the TOOLBOX to the very bottom of the sidebar below * Links which is not the intended behaviour. Is there something I can do about it?
Hi, is there any way to control the sorting of the displayed sections of the sidebar. Currently it only seems to be possible to show them in a descending order, e.g. the sidebar for group A gets shown above the one for group B, group C etc. What if it should be C A B, or in a descending order like C B A? Cheers
Unfortunately when linking a source with //www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special_... the URL gets broken, using the same approach in Mediawiki:Sidebar just works fine.
Would it be possible to extend this to handle Mediawiki Namespaces
Heiya Ryan lane, this extension pops into my mind over and over again. :) Will it be possible to define a sidebar for anonymous users [*]? If I understand correctly this will not be possible. Cheers
That shouldn't be necessary since you can add that into the regular sidebar.
Oops, I think my question was a bit stupid. :| You are right, the regular sidebar should be the one for anonymous users. Actually I am looking for a way to disable the search box for anonymous users and not using css. As far as I know it is presently not possible. Do you happen to know if it will be possible with 1.17+? Cheers
When adding either of the following lines to MediaWiki:Sidebar,
GROUP-SIDEBAR CATEGORY-SIDEBAR USER-SIDEBAR
The Wiki in its entirety fails to work, providing only blank pages. The following error is in the apache log:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method SkinMonoBook::addToSidebar() in /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/DynamicSidebar/DynamicSidebar.body.php on line 35
The same problem is found when incorporating the patch suggested on the extension page. The only way to reverse the total failure is to go back in one's browser history and re-save MediaWiki:Sidebar without the GROUP/CATEGORY/USER-SIDEBAR calls. Alternatively, one could disable DynamicSidebar altogether.
MediaWiki 1.15.1 PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3
Hi enterprise_user, this seems to be a kind of an inevitable problem (see this report) when using this extension with MediaWiki prior to version 1.17.0 My recommendation is to wait until this version is released officially. Cheers --kgh 16:38, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
The patch was made for 1.14. I recommend applying the patch by hand. In all reality, all you need to do is take the code block and add it to the end of that file. This is a *really* simply patch, and I've tested this block addition with 1.16 beta 3. I can promise you it is working. I'm using it in production right now.
