How to define the selection tools?
How can I add and/or configure the select tools?

How to use the extension messages?
The extension define some interface messages, they are mainly there for localisation, which occurs on Translatewiki.net.
 * View all messages: Special:AllMessages - View existing:Special:PrefixIndex/MediaWiki:edittoolbar

Troubleshooting...
LocalSettings.php:

$wgDefaultSkin = 'monobook';

...

$wgPrefStatsTrackPrefs = array( 'skin' => 'vector', 'usebetatoolbar' => 1 );

I get the vector skin on Firefox and monobook on IE.

Switch external and internal link icons
I would switch them so the internal link button is listed first. --Subfader 16:38, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

ReadMe - Issue
The ReadMe is missing the most important line:

require_once("$IP/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/EditToolbar/EditToolbar.php");

But additional a short question: What is PrefStats for? There is no documentation either no explenation anywhere ?!?


 * 19493 - There is the report to authors about README topic. --almaghi 18:52, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Editor Doesn't Display
I've downloaded the necessary files from SVN and placed them in my extensions folder. I have enabled the extensions via LocalSettings.php (I know i did it right because i copied from the README file. It lists that it is installed in my Versions page.  However  Editor will not display (currently using Mediawiki 1.15.1, I also have FCK editor installed. When i remove fck editor from localsettings.php the edit toolbar doesn't display and I recieve the following errors in edit.js:

In Firefox:

left is not defined http://myurl.com/skins/common/edit.js207 line: 51

in Internet Explorer 8:

this.style is null or not an object in edit.js  Line 51. --Kevin Danko 13:06, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

New-Page Textarea broken in IE6
when following a red link to a new page, the empty editor window is broken and disrupts the layout. It wont accept the focus, too. The only workaround is to add some text via the toolbar (i.e. a link) and hit "preview"... the editor then acts normal. docMario, 15.08.2009 02:30CET
 * Addition: some characters of the textarea content always appear in the html content beneath the textarea. -- docMario, 15.08.2009 3:33CET

Doesn't display for me either MW1.15.1
I have the same problem, but I've not even had another editor installed. The edit toolbar is the old version, although Special:Version is showing the extension installed (I read the README). Edit: Well the extension page DOES say 1.16, so ignore this message I suppose. --Ciovala 22:57, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Lots of new errors in r55291

 * 1) in IE6, the toolbar is not shown, the standard-toolbar is displayed instead. Although, by browsing through the source code I get the impression that's rather a feature, not a bug. --DocMario 13:13, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) The toolbar takes almost 30 seconds to load (on a local server).
 * 3) when clicking on icons for 'table', 'link', or 'search' the browser hangs up and/or shows an out of memory error after 2-3 minutes.
 * 4) A new heading (chosen from the combobox) is inserted at the beginning of the text instead of the cursor position.

"Download snapshot" not working
Special:ExtensionDistributor does not seem to know the UI-Extension. Is there another way to download all extension files at once? --129.206.90.2 00:55, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I did it via svn, file by file manually :) --81.20.173.138 17:10, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
