Extension talk:DynamicTabs

Dont think this extension is supported anymore but I'll second this anyway in case someone takes it over. Without controls you can end up with extreme subpaging like Help:Help:Help:Help:Help:Help:Pagename. This is unacceptable and reduces the use of this ext to a source tab blocker. ~ 19:35, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Hide Extension Tabs[edit]

The documentation gives a list of the standard tabs shown in MW but what if an extension adds a new tab i only want to show to sysops? I use Semantic Mediawiki and Semantic Forms which adds a tab called "edit with form". I want to turn this tab off for anonymous. Is there a handle i can pull from the tab to turn it off? When i look at the other tabs the URL shows me the name to use to turn them off. This URL ends in the page title then "action=" and the name of the tab. If i add #edit to dynamic tabs page it turns off edit tab for anons. But my new tab called "form edit" wont turn off if i add "#formedit" to my dynamic tabs page. Any ideas on how to identify and turn off custom tabs?

Thanks!

Link Back to Main page from Namespaces[edit]

So I've got this working. The problem is that once I get into the custom namespace tab, it's very difficult to get back to the main page. Anyone have any suggestions on settings that will add a "Main Page" tab to any "subpages"? Yeah, I know this extension isn't technically supported anymore. I'm just looking for advice.

Thanks.

Suggestion of improvement for work with recent versions of MW[edit]

Hi, I presently use an application of MW 1.24, on which I wanted to us the nsTab feature of DynamicTabs. The following code seems to be up-to-date considering this feature only (I did not improve further, other features won't operate) and for pages in main namespace only. A tab named 'page' allows to go back to top page where the tab link has been followed. If that can bring any help...

DynamicTabs.php looks then like that (other features following nsTab are commented) :


<?php
$wgHooks['SkinTemplateNavigation::Universal'][] = 'dynamicTabs'; //Register function, modified following http://shukra.cedt.iisc.ernet.in/edwiki/Manual:Hooks/SkinTemplateContentActions puis http://shukra.cedt.iisc.ernet.in/edwiki/Manual:Hooks/SkinTemplateNavigation::Universal, ynedelec3
$wgExtensionCredits['other'][] = array(
	'name' => 'DynamicTabs',
	'version' => '0.5.3',
	'author' => 'Micke Nordin, David Öhlin',
	'url' => 'http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicTabs',
	'description' => 'Adds and removes custom tabs',
);

function dynamicTabs( $skin, &$links) { // , modified following http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12192641/how-to-add-custom-tab-button-with-external-link, ynedelec3
	global $wgUser, $wgTitle, $wgCanonicalNamespaceNames, $wgScriptPath;
 	$organizedArray = getTabsConfig(); //Call the function that reads Mediawiki:DynamicTabs
	if ($wgTitle->mNamespace != 0) {//Bugfix when used with Extension:DPL
		$nsVar = $wgCanonicalNamespaceNames[$wgTitle->mNamespace]; //Get namespace name
	} else {
		$nsVar = MWNamespace::getCanonicalName(NS_MAIN);
	}
		
		if(isset($organizedArray["nsTabs"])) {
			foreach($organizedArray["nsTabs"] as $it) {//Loop array of the tabs
				if($nsVar == MWNamespace::getCanonicalName(NS_MAIN) OR $nsVar == $it) {
					$page = Title::newFromText( trim($it) . ':' . $wgTitle->getText());
					$href = $page->getLocalUrl();
					$links['namespaces'][trim(strtolower($it))] = Array(
					'class' => (trim($it) == $nsVar?'selected':''),
					'text' => $it,
					'href' => $href,
					);

						$topPage = Title::newFromText($wgTitle->getText());
