Extension talk:BreadCrumbs (Kimon)

I wasn't able to get any breadcrumbs in MediaWiki 1.11. nothing happens at all. I created the php and css-file and included it in LocalSettings.php. Is there something that I'm missing? 213.47.3.128 23:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Did you enable the breadcrumbs in your user preferences? --Kimon 15:03, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Differences with Extension:BreadCrumbs
Is there any difference between this and the other Breadcrumbs extension? By any chance do you have any plans of storing the statistics in a database for further scrutiny? SellFone 13:42, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * There are a few differences:


 * 1) There are 2 files to maintain
 * 2) The breadcrumbs show up at the bottom (though this can be done via the CSS of the other one)
 * 3) The display of breadcrumbs is a user enabled option thereby displaying it only to users that want it
 * 4) Duplicate entries are removed
 * 5) If the user returns to a previously visited page, the breadcrumbs get trimmed back to that.
 * As for a database table to track this information... that's a good idea, I'll give it some thought.
 * I hope I've answered your questions --Kimon 18:15, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Nothing happens on Mediawiki 1.7.1.
I followed your installation instructions. The Special:Version page confirms that the extension is installed. I looked in the "misc" tab in "user preferences" but cannot find any "t/f" flag there. Can you confirm that your extension is not supposed to work with Mediawiki 1.7.1? If so; any plans on making it work for 1.7.1 too? I would be very happy if you have. Debian Etch uses 1.7.1.

 * It looks like the hook UserToggles was introduced in 1.8.0. But, I believe I have a work-around. You can comment out/remove the snippet


 * It should work but, since I don't have a 1.7.1 installation to test, I cannot confirm. The drawback is that it will force it on all users.
 * Let me know please so that I can make an entry in the extension's description. --Kimon 03:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
