Extension talk:Patroller/Archive

Bug?
It doesn't seem to find newly created pages, even though they show up as being unpatrolled in Recent Changes.

Question about view from groups
This extention looks and works great. Is there anyway that I can set it so that changes that have not been accepted cannot be viewed by a group? Something like: $wgGroupPermissions['*']['view_un-patrolled'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['CompanyPerson']['view_un-patrolled'] = true; (obviously making up the "view_un-patrolled", but you get the idea.) If this doesn't exist, is there plans to add something like that? Thanks again for the great extension. LinuxSneaker 16:06, 27 October 2006 (UTC)


 * That's not what this extension is for. Wait until MediaWiki supports stable version tagging and reviewing proper. robchurch | talk 14:41, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Design flaw
This is a great extension, but it has one major design flaw. If someone comes along and edits a page inappropriately, then immediately edits a different part of that same page, patrollers using this extension won't notice, since it only shows the most recent. It really ought to do a multi-revision diff, from the last unpatrolled edit to the most recent, and then mark all those intermediate revisions as patrolled. --71.224.196.239 21:02, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Does this extension work if you're using Postgres for your database?
I personally use MySQL, but it appears after looking at the installation script that it is geared toward MySQL only. Is there a Postgres installation script, or does this work with Postgres as well? --Hoggwild5 15:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Show title of the changed article
Great extension, but what I really miss, is a title or a link to the page that was changed. Is it possible to add these to the difference-view?

Special:Patrol has Database error ??? How Can I fix this?
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden)

from within function "Patroller::fetchChange". Database returned error "1146: Table 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx.mw_patrollers' doesn't exist (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)".
