Topic on Manual talk:Renameuser/Archive 3

Hello everybody,

I've just updated my wiki from version 1.16.2 to version 1.23.5 and updated the extension Renamuser to the current version. But when I try to open the rename-user-page in my wiki I get the following error-message: Fatal error: Call to undefined method SpecialRenameuser::getOutput() in /opt/lampp/htdocs/_fhbwiki/extensions/Renameuser/specials/SpecialRenameuser.php on line 24

When looking at the file mentioned in the error-message I noticed that there is indeed no such function as getOutput in this file. With the help of grep I ensured that there is no such function in the whole /opt/lampp/htdocs/_fhbwiki/extensions/Renameuser-directory

I even went so far as to have grep look in my whole wiki-directory: wiki-t00:/opt/lampp/htdocs/_fhbwiki # grep -i -r 'getoutput' * > getoutput.txt

Here is the result of that grep:

• extensions/Renameuser/specials/SpecialRenameuser.php: $out = $this->getOutput();
• extensions/Renameuser/Renameuser.hooks.php: $out = $article->getContext()->getOutput();
• extensions/Renameuser/getoutput.txt:Renameuser.hooks.php: $out = $article->getContext()->getOutput();
• extensions/Renameuser/getoutput.txt:specials/SpecialRenameuser.php: $out = $this->getOutput();
• includes/Article.php: $this->mParserOutput = $this->getOutputFromWikitext( $text, $cache, $parserOptions );
• includes/Article.php: public function getOutputFromWikitext( $text, $cache = true, $parserOptions = false ) {
• includes/Article.php: return $this->getOutputFromWikitext( $rev->getText(), $useParserCache );
• includes/OutputPage.php: foreach ( $parserOutput->getOutputHooks() as $hookInfo ) {
• includes/Profiler.php: return $wgProfiler->getOutput( $start, $elapsed );
• includes/Profiler.php: function getOutput() {
• includes/parser/Parser.php: function getOutput() { return $this->mOutput; }
• includes/parser/ParserOutput.php: function getOutputHooks() { return (array)$this->mOutputHooks; }
• includes/parser/LinkHolderArray.php: $output = $this->parent->getOutput();
• includes/parser/LinkHolderArray.php: $output = $this->parent->getOutput();
• includes/ProfilerSimpleTrace.php: function getOutput() {

Now I'm wondering whether one of those getOutput-functions is the one the Renameuser-extension is supposed to use and why that isn't working properly? The reason I wondering that at all is that a similar "Fatal error: Call to undefined method"-error-message occured when I tried to update another extension before. But since it turned out that the older/previous version was working fine I didn't follow up on the update and the error any further...

I'm a rather PHP-noob so I cannot really follow up all the programming-intricaies indepth. :-( I hope someone can help me or at least point me in the right direction.
