Wrong name in Special Pages
I get & lt; edituser & gt; instead of EditUser in the special pages both in English and french. My deafult language for my wiki is French. I have Mediawiki 1.12 and EditUser (Version 1.3)
 * Edit MediaWiki:Edituser page to set the name of the EditUser special page - LNick 17:52, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That's strange... The message is defined in there, but it doesn't seem to be loading. I'll look into this. -- Skiz zerz  18:13, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I edited the MediaWiki:Edituser and got rid of the & lt; and & gt; .. But it doesn't translate it to French when I switch to FR. Mind you I can put the French name directly into MediaWiki:Edituser but wouldn't that defaet the purpose --207.236.193.195 18:48, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

EditUser breaks Special:Allmessages
We are using the EditUser extension on MediaWiki 1.12. When it's enabled, the page Special:Allmessages comes up blank; when it's disabled (commented out), that page works. We also have LiquidThreads and Click installed. This happens with both r37971 and r38124. Here's our config: $wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['edituser'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['edituser-exempt'] = true; require_once("extensions/EditUser/EditUser.php"); Any ideas? Many thanks.
 * Strange... I'll look into it. This extension needs an update anyway. -- Skiz zerz  17:22, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Would adding the $IP variable to the path help? I'm unsure of unix and mediawiki relative paths. -- LNick 17:47, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

require_once("$IP/extensions/EditUser/EditUser.php");
 * That shouldn't have any affect on the messages. It might be an incompatibility issue with LiquidThreads, or it may be using some 1.13 feature that breaks stuff in 1.12... I really don't know and I don't have much time at the moment to look at anything. -- Skiz zerz  18:24, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

I've had the same problem too. I downloaded the latest snapshot today and replaced my old files and it appears to have been fixed. Great work! Soonshort 05:46, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Nickname
MediaWiki: 1.11.0; PHP: 5.2.6 (cgi-fcgi); MySQL: 5.0.45-community-log; URL: http://paleravens.com/

When I (bureaucrat, nickname "töff") use EditUser 1.4.1, my own nick sometimes appears in the nickname box. Some users have their proper nicks, but others are showing my nick instead. That don't seem right! Is it a bug? or did I screw something up.

Otherwise working great, cheers, great extension!--töff 19:09, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably a bug. Basically what I did was take the default Preferences page and hack it so that it works on a different user instead of yourself. I may have missed that field, however, so it takes your own data but saves it elsewhere... I need to update this extension soon anyway, so I'll look into it then. -- Skiz zerz  03:24, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * This should hopefully be fixed now. -- Skiz zerz  22:39, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Installed EditUser-trunk-r43758, but it doesn't show up in my special pages :\ --töff 17:48, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ahhhh, nevermind ... I didn't know it wanted the 1.11, 1.12 etc. subfolders.
 * Except, now ...
 * Fatal error: Call to a member function getEmail on a non-object in /home/arcticco/public_html/paleravens/wiki/extensions/EditUser/1.11/EditUser_body.php on line 352
 * --töff 17:53, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Should be fixed now in 1.5.1. -- Skiz zerz  22:30, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The Email error is gone, and the extension works again ... but it still comes up with my nickname on users who haven't set nicks. --töff 00:59, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Weird... I'll check into that. -- Skiz zerz  02:36, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

two errrors in EditUser_body.php
After clicking savebutton i recieve a white page with the following error messages: Notice: Undefined property: EditUser::$target in C:\Programme\Wamp\www\w\extensions\EditUser\EditUser_body.php on line 953 Fatal error: Class 'Validate' not found in C:\Programme\Wamp\www\w\extensions\EditUser\EditUser_body.php on line 197

The first line also already appears when opening the EditUser Page. I am working with Mediawiki v.1.13.1.

Does anyone have a clue? thanks in advance best regards --TurboKanne 13:49, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Because the Preferences page code changes pretty much every version. I simply don't have enough time to keep everything up-to-date right now. -- Skiz zerz  20:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Try now with version 1.4.2 of EditUser. -- Skiz zerz  22:40, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Directory Error
When installing in version 1.11, I encountered a small error, which can be fixed easily: on lines 17 and 34 $dir. substr($wgVersion, 0, 4). '/EditUser_body.php' should be $dir. 'EditUser_body.php'

In any case, the '4' in "substr($wgVersion, 0, 4)" is utterly wrong, it should at least be a variable, and I installed the body file in the same place as the other 3 files, that removes the need for a substring. Sidearm 22:53, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * No... it should be exactly as-is. You need to download every file/directory exactly as-is. Don't move stuff out of subdirectories. If you want to move the files around, then that isn't my problem if things break. It's yours, so don't be complaining about it. -- Skiz zerz  02:05, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
