Extension talk:CategorySubscriptions

Feel free to list bugs and issues you may fine. I will be monitoring this discussion page on a weekly basis. I can also be reached via email (myatzkan at gmail.com).

Issues/Bugs
On my mw 1.11.0, it appears that the table name category_subscriptions must be prefaced with $wgDBprefix

--The php mailer script does not run inside the mw engine, thus it cannot access the $wg variables. I am not a database and php expert, but my script runs just fine on both windows and unix machines. In the script the database host and name is defined then the link is created. This is all specific to mysql. If you are using a different database vendor then the script will need to be modified.

I did just update the code online. There was a small bug with how the email to and from fields are created. I had left a variable in that shouldn't have been there and that was causing a php error to occur. That would have caused you a mysql error as it was trying to find a column in a sql result set that didn't exist.

Try using the new code I just published. Maybe it will fix the error you are having.

It is not the mail script, it is CategorySubscriptions.php causing the exception in the SQL select invocation. Still happens with the new code unless one renames the table with the DBprefix which in my case is the installation default mw:

Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug in how the mailer script gets the user's email address and sets them to the $to and $from variables. A variable was left in place which was trying to access a column in a sql result set that didn't exist, which throws an error.
