[edit] Extension doesn't work with PHP4

I think it's the same problem there is in Dynamic Article List. I got the error code:

 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS in /www/htdocs/w006b563/extensions/DynamicCategoryMap/CategoryTravelerBase.php on line 10

running PHP4. Maybe someone have a workaround? Or an idea what to do? I think the problem are the abstract class and the abstract functions in CategoryTravelerBase.php.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Nice work! I am using this extension in my personal site. However, I made some minor modifications so that all the required files are held in a directory under the extensions. No files would be copied to includes. I felt that this is a much cleaner way of doing things, for then one should not have to worry about where the related files are, in situations like upgrading of mediawiki version.

(Details of the modification are given below. The modified version is here.)

• Here are the changes:
  1. CategoryMap.php

     require_once( "$wgDynamicCategoryMapPath/CategoryTravelerBase.php" );
     

  2. CategoryTravelerBase.php

     require_once( "$wgDynamicCategoryMapPath/CategoryNode.php" );
     

  3. DynamicCategoryMap.php

     require_once ("$wgDynamicCategoryMapPath/CategoryMap.php");
     

• Then add the following to the LocalSettings.php

$wgDynamicCategoryMapPath="extensions/DynamicCategoryMap"; require_once ("$wgDynamicCategoryMapPath/DynamicCategoryMap.php");

[edit] does it work with 1.7.1 version?

I'd installed this extension but... It's just showing my first category... What's happening?

I've installed it on 1.7.1 and it works fine for me. I do notice that it doesn't display categories that lack any kind of description in them ("red" categories). Maybe a bug, maybe intentional. --208.161.104.192 09:16, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] give me a zip or php file

it's wrong for .pdf,WHO can give me a copy

[edit] The includes folder?

Really? Shouldn't this be changed to be contained entirely within the extensions folder? --w:User:Matt B. (71.57.32.65 02:14, 11 March 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Use of Apostrophes (') in Category Names

Applying on

MediaWiki: 1.9.3

PHP: 5.1.4

MySQL: 5.0.27

That contains a

Category:Côte d'Ivoire

Results in:

from within function "CategoryMap::buildOneCategory". MySQL returned error "1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Ivoire') ORDER BY page_title' at line 1 (localhost)".
