JS errors & Search problems
Console log:

Please change the method for IE & Opera supporting:

Search in non-standard encoding still not working. See my comment in the Link Suggest discussion. [mailto:slsoft@bk.ru?Subject=MW:Link_Suggest Simon Litt] 05 December 2009.


 * The PrefixSearch::titleSearch method only finds pages starting with the term, not containing the term. The current search method is more powerful. What do you mean exactly with non-standard enconding? That you can't search using russian characters, for instance? Spanish special characters work, as far as I know. --Kanor 20:12, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * By the way, the code with the IE support is now in the source and will be published with the next release. The references to the console item have also been removed. Thanks Simon =) --Kanor 22:40, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

modified QuickLink.js
Hi, I modiefied the file QuickLink.js a little bit. I have testet it with mediawiki 1.16 on:
 * FF 3 on WinXP - works
 * FF 3 on MacOS - works
 * IE 6 on WinXP - works
 * IE 7 on WinXP - works
 * IE 8 on WinXP - works

Look here for the file: /QuickLink.js -- JBE 18:22, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Not working
Hi there, first let me thank you for the extension! I've been years searching for it. Unfortunately, the extension is not working for me (I've got MediaWiki 1.15.0 and Firefox 3.6): when I type "[[", a box comes out on the top-right corner, but when I add some letters it remains blank (refer to this image); also, if I open the Error Console I have a "console is not defined" error (refer to this image). What am I doing wrong? Thank you again! Cheers

PS I don't know if this can help, but when I try the extension on subtrama.net it acts the same way. Also, the 0.5 version of QuickLink is working, 0.6 is not. --DerfelLink 21:44, 14 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I can confirm this (not working) with MediaWiki 1.15.4 & Firefox 3.6 and IE7. Works OK with Chrome. Any ideas? --Robinson Weijman 12:02, 27 September 2010 (UTC)


 * FIX: you need to use this file for js: Extension talk:QuickLink/QuickLink.js. Shame that it is in a separate location but, OK, it works. --Robinson Weijman 12:12, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Great, thanks!
Thanks for making this extension. It's great! I've been using a customized version of LinkSuggest for a while myself now. This is even better.

@DerfelLink: Comment out the console.log('init'); line in the .js file as the first commenter states (by putting "//" in front of it). -- Matsch 21:40, 21 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks Matsch, it's working now! Cheers --DerfelLink 22:38, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

not-existing JS file included
In QuickLink.php (version 0.6) line 98 (of 102) a file called vegui.sk.formtools.js is included which does not exist. What is it? Is it necessary? -- Matsch 20:25, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Problems with SMW Halo
Nice extension works fine as long you don't activate SMW Halo extension. The QuickLinks and Halo display interfere each other and the result list is not displayed properly.

We are testing QuickLinks 0.6 on MediaWiki 1.15.1 / PHP 5.2.9-1 / MySQL 5.0.77-community-nt / LightTPD 1.4.22 / SphinxSearch (Version 0.7.0) / Semantic MediaWiki (Version 1.5) --MWJames 18:56, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
