Facebook extension
Hey Tosfos,

Just wanted to give you a heads up that my Facebook extension has left beta (first "stable" release in three years!) I've done extensive testing on MW 1.17-1.18, though 1.16 has only seen some testing. If you decide to update to the final release version, let me know if any problems pop up and I'll see what I can do! --Gbruin (talk) 14:22, 22 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Great work! --Tosfos (talk) 21:12, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

LaTeX on a shared host
Hell Tosfos, what was the code you changed in extension Math to get it working in MediaWiki 1.20.2 on a shared host please? --Rob Kam (talk) 13:55, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay. It is the code listed under MW1.19. It seems somebody changed the page since I added that comment, which created the confusion. --Ike @ WikiWorks 23:42, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Your new html extension
Hi, I just left you a message on the talk page for your html extension. Just trying find out if it allows the mixing of mediawiki variables and html -- see talk page. All the best to you Christharp (talk) 20:00, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Replied there. --Ike @ WikiWorks 20:30, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Question on Breadcrumbs2
Hey Tosfos,

First of all thank you for all of your work on Breadcrumbs2! It's a great extension that I really need for my wiki. However being a wiki noob I can't seem to get it to function properly. I believe my problem lies somewhere in editing my MediaWiki:Breadcrumbs page. No matter what I put in there I seem to always only display the title of the page (non-linked). I've read the usage instructions over and over again but I can't seem to make any progress. Any help would be so awesome! Graysonrobb (talk)
 * If you can provide a live link I'll have a look. Otherwise, please post the relevant code. --Ike @ WikiWorks 00:19, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Iframe Layout
Hi, moving it off the discussion page. I would appreciate if you could have a look. It's https://nordheide.freifunk.net/wiki/Playground. Please contact me if you like to have an account and play around a bit. I have already narrowed it down to mostly being an Firefox issue.

Maybe you could try this also on a different deployment and see if you see the same issues. Thanks for your help!--Aeroid (talk) 07:05, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I had a quick look and didn't see a quick solution. I'll try to find something. You may want to have a look at Extension:Widgets as well. --Ike @ WikiWorks 01:13, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

FlickrAPI extension?
Hi! Are you still maintaining Extension:FlickrAPI? Sam Wilson 09:00, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes. --Ike @ WikiWorks 17:25, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

SimpleChanges
Hi, are you still maintaining Extension:SimpleChanges? -- 10:23, 28 July 2017 (UTC) }
 * I guess I'm popular today :). Yes. I responded on the talk page there. --Ike @ WikiWorks 17:29, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

AdManager
Hello Tosfos. I wonder if you still maintain Extension:AdManager? I've got a question at Extension talk:AdManager that you as author could help me resolve. Also, there's a patch for review on Gerrit at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/392021/ that I'd appreciate if you could review (and Code-Review+2 if you think it's okay). Best regards and thanks. &mdash;MarcoAurelio (talk) 22:43, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I do still maintain it, though not so actively :). I see the question, which I'll answer there. Thanks for the patch! I'll have a look at it soon. Feel free to bug me again if you don't get a +2 soon. --Ike @ WikiWorks 23:18, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

Re: Extension:MassMessageEmail
Hi Tosfos

I am wondering if the MassMessageEmail extension is used at any Wikimedia wikis? What are the usage instructions?

There is a change to MassMessage that is required to make your extension work. Why hasn't this change been implemented upstream?

--Gryllida 00:29, 11 March 2019 (UTC)


 * It is not used by WMF to my knowledge. The usage is really as simple as just including the extension and sending out a MassMessage like usual. The hook addition has been stuck in gerrit for years, unfortunately. --Ike Hecht 01:07, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi and thank you for the response. Who is the target of the mass message? Usually a wiki page so I am not sure how to specify the email instead. Gryllida 04:43, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * If the target is a User page or User_talk page, it will send an email instead of posting to those pages. --Ike Hecht 22:49, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

PaginateText + Quiz
Hello! I use you extension PaginateText for my quizes (created with extension Quiz), but in parameters are only height. How I can do that each question (div) will be on 1 page? --85.238.102.47 07:29, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't believe that is what the extension was designed for. It's designed to paginate long blocks of text, not to enforce specific content being displayed on each page. --Ike Hecht 17:21, 26 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Ok, but maybe you can help me? How I can realize paginatin in MediaWki? --77.111.244.202 19:27, 26 January 2020 (UTC)


 * It doesn't seem like paginating quizzes would be simple at all. It might be easiest to try one of the Tabs extensions like Extension:Header Tabs. But more likely it would need to be added to the Quiz extension as a new feature. --Ike Hecht 16:12, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
