Extension talk:AWC's Forum

I have created/added this Mediawiki extension page of the behalf of AWC, after working with him to test and debug his latest version of this Forum extension for Mediawiki, and as he is very busy, I will endevour to document as much as possible for him, for the benefit of the community, due to my in depth knowledge of this extension as a result of using the current/previous v1.2, and helping debug and test v2.0

If you have any questions, please feel free follow the link on the extension page, under 'support', to AWC's forum pages. Alternatively, ask here, and he may choose to answer if he has the time, or I will try to do so myself.

Problem
Message just after installation :

Warning: fopen [function.fopen]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /xxxxxx/xx/xxxxxxx/htdocs/1.9-1.11_installer.php on line 273

Warning: fopen(http://anotherwebcom.com/app_count.php?app=WikiForum_UnInstall&url=anotherwebcom.com/1.9-1.11_installer.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /xxxxxx/xx/xxxxxxx/htdocs/1.9-1.11_installer.php on line 273

And when I try to write a new message :

Fatal error: Call to a member function getTitle on a non-object in /homepages/xx/xxxxxxxx/htdocs/includes/EditPage.php on line 92

AWC's Response
The installer is being worked on right now.

In the release of 2.3 (in a few days) that will be fixed. That fopen error will not have an effect on the forums operation, its just simple bug in the installer. Your forum installed fine.

As for the EditPage.php error, i will look into this, perhaps your using MediaWiki 1.12; if so, maybe this will help.

After doing a little research the following error will be fixed in the 2.3 release.

Fatal error: Call to a member function getTitle on a non-object in /homepages/xx/xxxxxxxx/htdocs/includes/EditPage.php on line 92 There will be no need to edit any files, the 2.3 release will work "out of the box" on MediaWiki 1.12 fine. Testing it right now. --AWC 00:05, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Update v2.3
2.3 has been released, fully tested on 1.12, the error mentioned above has been fixed with out editing any of MediaWiki's files.

Problem
Thanks for your response ! I have tested 2.3 with Mediawiki 1.12, and all work, but member options doesn't. So, I have edited EditPage.php, and all work fine now. 83.205.245.159 07:39, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

AWC's Response
Sorry about that, will fix it now. Forgot about that file. Will "post" back here when new upload will be ready. --AWC 07:53, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok... new download is ready. I did not change the version number being that 2.3 has only been released for a few hours and not many have downloaded it. If you download it again, you do not have to run the update-installer if you do not feel like it, if you do run it no harm will be done, it will do nothing. Sorry for the inconvenience. Editing Wiki files to fix an extension's error does not seam right to me and your going to have a broken extension again once you update your Wiki. Anyway, good luck and hope you enjoy the forum.

Mail function
Hi AWC. Will you want to add E-mail function for this great extension in the future?--Roc michael 15:47, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

This might sound odd, but you are the first to ask :-)

Will add it to the suggestion page and we'll see what happens. Im pretty sure the next "big addition" will be a PM system, but when that will be i do not know.
