UserRightsList bug
Hi Jim, thanks for making the UserRightsList extension; from what I've seen it looks cool and I'd really like to test it. However, after I add the require_once call, I get this:

The wiki is running on MediaWiki 1.11.

P.S. You might want to remove the ending ?> tags, they haven't been used since 23531. :-) -- Sayuri 20:37, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * But return true is at the end of that function! (I'm still on 1.9x - been meaning to upgrade). --JimHu 21:40, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Database Error
Hi Jim,

I am using Mediawiki 1.11. When installing UserRightsList 0.22, I get a database error: MySQL returned the error "1142: SELECT command denied to user 'cdy'@'srv83.one.com' for table 'user' (localhost)". What could possibly go wrong?

Regards, Corne
 * Hi Corne, that seems very odd, as UserRightsList is using the regular MW db connection to access the table. Can you tell where in the UserRightsList scripts it's failing.  Could you also describe what happens with more details - does it break the wiki completely, or only fail when you try to access the special page? --JimHu 23:30, 27 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, I get the same error when I try to access UserRightList from the special pages. The function mentioned in my error message is an empty string (""), maybe that's relevant. The wiki's database is still ok. The problem seems to be that the script tries to access the wrong table, because when I give "ALL PRIVILEGES" as permissions for the user and all MySQL databases, the error message changes to: "1146: Table 'mw_.user' doesn't exist (localhost).". Regards --Laudrin 12:06, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Forgot the version numbers: MediaWiki: 1.11.2, PHP: 5.2.6RC1-pl1-gentoo (apache2handler), MySQL: 5.0.54-log, UserRightsList: 0.22. --Laudrin 12:31, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Interesting. I'll get back after I ask about it on one of the mediawiki lists.--JimHu 14:10, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

UserRightsList
JimHu, are you interested in having UserRightsList committed to Wikimedia's Subversion, or if not another repo? Then it can be fixed up (I honestly don't understand how some of that code could actually work, the SQL statements themselves defy the definition of a database prefix), and if in Wikimedia's SVN will also have good translation support.
