Error when DB_table names are prefixed
MySQL a renvoyé l’erreur « 1109 : Unknown table 'cn_notices' in where clause

when the tables are prefixed with fr_ as are all the tables in my wiki. FrViPofm 17:16, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Non-Wikimedia use?
Is this extension intended for non-Wikimedia use? It appears to ignore $wgDBprefix and to have the Wikimedia project names hard-coded. (Assuming that the instruction 2. Run central-auth.sql is a typo for 2. Run CentralNotice.sql) --MoreThings 19:34, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

how do you find out?
how do you find out if you have a "periodic scheduler (cron)"? Bud0011 08:25, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You would probably need to ask your hosting provider. More info can be found at cron. Kaldari 17:11, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

um...where is this function?
So, i'm trying this extension out, and i get this error:


 * Fatal error: Call to undefined method SiteConfiguration::loadFullData in $IP/extensions/CentralNotice/SpecialNoticeText.php on line 213

but problem is, there's no "loadFullData" in any of the files .... is there? Bud0011 02:14, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

The same error:

 * Fatal error: Call to undefined method SiteConfiguration::loadFullData in /var/wwwpub/extensions/CentralNotice/SpecialNoticeText.php on line 213

What shall i do with it ? --Lugerr 11:20, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * For now, just disable the extension.... i guess....? Bud0011 21:17, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

loadFullData you find in the new Version von WM. 1.16. You can download that, and copy and paste it in the same .php
