Topic on Extension talk:ContributionCredits

Hi there,

we modified the Extension long time ago and added Code, so you can show up not only the realname or the username. We added, that you can see the users signature, so it is possible to customize the links of the contribution credits.

I documented it here in my own wiki... couldn't link it here... spam detection ;-) (Laub-home Wiki Contribution Credits):

# Enables ContributionCredits
require_once( "$IP/extensions/ContributionCredits/ContributionCredits.php" );
$wgContributionCreditsShowUserSignature = true;

DIFF:

Would be great to see that code in the official extension.
