Hi, Have configured Discussion extension version 2.1 with BitNami + mediawiki-1.22.2-0. After adding required configuration in LocalSettign.php and adding following tags <discussion>

  characters_max=0
  incremental=0

</discussion>

Buttons with “Comments” and “Post comments” are appearing, but on click of the button to add comments the text area is not appearing.

Please suggest

Hello :) Can you look into console of your browser, if there is any JavaScript error? In Chrome simply press Ctrl + J.

There is no Java script error reported on IE and Chrome, but still I am not able to get the text area :(.

Can you please provide more information on configuring the Discsusion board or need to do any Ajax setting that needs to done.

I will list out the chnages which I have done

Added in Localsettings.php- require_once('extensions/Discussion/Discussion.php');

After ading the above line, the entire setup use to come down with fatal error, so did following changes as sugested by the one of the user

wfLoadExtensionMessages with wfMessage

Done changes to SpecialPage.php in following location

C:\BitNami\mediawiki-1.22.2-0\apps\mediawiki\htdocs\includes\SpecialPage.php

  • Add a page to the list of valid special pages. This used to be the preferred
* method for adding special pages in extensions. It's now suggested that you add 
* an associative record to $wgSpecialPages. This avoids autoloading SpecialPage. 
* 
* @param $page SpecialPage 
* @deprecated since 1.7, warnings in 1.17, might be removed in 1.20 
*/ 
static function addPage( &$page ) { 
wfDeprecated( __METHOD__, '1.7' ); 
SpecialPageFactory::getList()->{$page->mName} = $page; 
}

Oh wow :D The extension supports only MW 1.15 ;) I thought you use the same discussion extension like mediawiki.org (this here). For Discussion i can't help you, but i strongly suggest to don't use this extension :) Maybe you can use another one. MediaWiki.org uses LiquidThread: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LiquidThreads
