Extension talk:MyVariables

Hello there,

this is a very useful extension but it do not work the way i expected. This variables seem to be not actual when a page is reloaded. I changed the return value of the variable but it has the old value (after reloading the page). When i worte "Hello " on my main page an i logged out, it always shows my former login name. I thougt that this could be a caching problem, but when a fried edited the main page and I visited it afterwards, the page shows the login name of my friedn.... There is something strange about parsing the CURRENTXYZ values. Is there a solution?

Thanks in advance 88.76.203.237--
 * Yeah I've noticed that as well, I think it's that the current user variable reset after logging out after the page renders, but I'll check it out properly when I get some time. --Nad 22:09, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Nad,

i tried different ways but it is really strange and does not work. My php skills are not that good (as same as my english skills :-) ), but i ask myself how the whole session is handled. When i am logged in everything (for example MY watchlist) is rendered depending on my login name. So i think there must be a reliable information about the user which is currently logged in. (Or how does all this customized rendering work?). Naive as i am, i expected $wgUser stores this information, but obviously it does not. Greetings from Germany. ---
 * I've recently found that this extension doesn't work in 1.9.x - it works in 1.4 - 1.6.x. I'm working a lot on some 1.9's now and will need to get it going for that so I'll update it here when I get it working. --Nad 21:49, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
