Extension talk:UserRightsList

Remember for MediaWiki 1.11, all your hooks need to return true or false.
 * thanks for the catch. I know I missed a return true at the end of loadmessages, did you see any others?  I just added that to the example at Writing_a_new_special_page so others won't do what I did and miss it.

 * Yeah, line 275:  should return true as well.

Minor bug
This extension fails to take into account $wgDBprefix so far. :) I've put up a quick patch here; I tested it briefly, but I can't guarantee that I didn't miss any places where it should be added as well. -- Schneelocke 20:37, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

This patch indeed helps. Thank you. 89.179.245.37 17:23, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Slight hack
Hi, thanks for a great extension, it helps us maintain our users really well on out site. The only problem we faced was that we have users log in with an ID - via LDAP, and the user id as printed out in the Rights List isn't meaningful. So, we set a site policy where users have to go to their preferences to fill in their Full Name at least, then I altered two small sections of code. The firs was to add u.user_real_name to the SQL select statements, and then of course I extended the output into the first fields to print out the real name, works a treat, we can now see a proper name against a number. Thanks again, Nibb 19:42, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Proposal for better readability
Hi,

seems like a nice extension to me, but I'm having trouble staying in the correct line for a user. Would it be possible to enhance usability through shading every other line of the grid in a slightly darker colour? I know this "reading-help" from Thunderbird and it really makes a difference.
