Notes on setting-up Echo within a wiki family for cross-site notifications

In LocalSettings.php for each wiki add the lines: $wgSharedDB = ''; $wgSharedTables[] = 'ipblocks'; $wgSharedTables[] = 'user_groups'; $wgSharedTables[] = 'interwiki'; $wgSharedTables[] = 'user_properties';

wfLoadExtension( 'Echo' ); $wgEchoSharedTrackingDB = ''; $wgEchoUseJobQueue = true; $wgEchoCrossWikiNotifications = true; $wgEchoUseCrossWikiBetaFeature = true; $wgDefaultUserOptions['echo-cross-wiki-notifications'] = true;
 * 1) Extension:Echo

2. In the terminal: sudo mysql -u'root' -p tCommons < /var/www/mediawiki/extensions/Echo/db_patches/echo_unread_wikis.sql sudo php /var/www/mediawiki/maintenance/update.php --conf /var/www/each-wiki/LocalSettings.php

At this stage, you will receive cross-wiki notifications, but they are empty.

more work needs to be done on this capability
