Extension talk:DeleteHistory

Doesn't work on 1.16
''' FIXED in 0.2 version

Where do we find the DeleteHistory.php file?

The special page doesn't exist :

'Vous avez demandé une page spéciale qui n’existe pas.

Doesn't work on 1.16.


 * I'm having a similar problem (also 1.16). It doesn't seem to do anything; when I tell it to "simply check" and click the "Validate" button, the "Results:" box is empty. From looking at the php files, it appears that it's trying to call "php $pwd/maintenance/deleteOldRevisions.php". When I go into the "maintenance" directory and run that command manually, it complains about the LocalSettings.php file not being found.  If I copy that file into the maintenance directory, then that works, but the extension still doesn't do anything.  Does anyone know what needs to be changed (do I need to put LocalSettings.php somewhere else) to get this to work as intended? Bfunchess 17:18, 26 May 2011 (UTC)


 * You must rename the files after download
 * DeleteHistory_DeleteHistory.alias.php => DeleteHistory.alias.php
 * DeleteHistory_DeleteHistory.i18n.php => DeleteHistory.i18n.php
 * DeleteHistory_....

 * I have this same issue. It can optimize tables just fine, but actually deleting old revisions does not work and returns an empty result.
 * The line that should return a result is $out_logs = shell_exec(escapeshellcmd($command)); and this returns empty.
 * I have checked things and it is finding and trying to run the deleteOldRevisions.php command but nothing happens, and I have no idea why.

'''You need to install php-cli to make it work


 * Same issue here. I have the extension installed and shows up in the Special pages, but when clicking the 'validate' it returns nothing. I checked with my host and php-cli is indeed installed (it's on a CentOS server) but not sure if the path/location of it is correct or not. If someone could let me know what needs to be where the in the file structure and/or what needs to be set up how and where to get this running it would be great.

Doesn't work on 1.27.0
Hello all.

I have updated my wiki to fresh 1.27.0 and the extension doesn't work! The message appears when I click to DeleteHistory at Special Page:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wfMsg in /var/www/admin/www/wikijournal.ru/extensions/DeleteHistory/DeleteHistory_body.php on line 64

Any ideas how to fix it?

You can replace wfMsg with wfMessage

You can also replace with

Talk_Pages MediaWiki 1.27.1
The extension doesn't detect the history of the Talk/Discussion pages. Could it be fixed?

MediaWiki 1.27.1 and DeleteHistory .08
Hi,

I use
 * MediaWiki 1.27.1
 * PHP 5.6.18
 * MySql 5.7.11
 * Icu 56.1
 * Extension:DeleteHistory .08
 * Langage : Français

It's a new wiki site.

I've installed Extension:DeleteHistory and i have this error Http://www.developpez.net/forums/attachments/p221768d1475500516/php/scripts/wiki/mediawiki-deletehistory/739634capture.jpg

I've changed

$dbw =& wfGetDB( DB_MASTER ); with $dbw = wfGetDB( DB_MASTER );

When I go on Pages_Spéciales and select DeleteHystory and "test" or "Suppression de l'historique", i have an error and this message :

Error : Missing one or more required components of PHP. You are missing a required extension to PHP that MediaWiki needs. Please Install :
 * mbstring

This wiki is local but I want to host it on Free.fr. What should I do to use this extension with my setup?
