Extension talk:TitleKey/Archive

How to install
How is this extension installed? I placed: ( require_once( "$IP/extensions/Titlekey/titlekey.php" ); ) into the localsettings.php and got this error when trying to make a new page: A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden)

from within function "TitleKey::setBatchKeys". MySQL returned error "1146: Table 'wiki.titlekey' doesn't exist (localhost)". Matt 13:12, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

How? We're not all experts here and it's frustrating with this kind of documentation. :(

How get it working
I installed the extension successfully and did run php rebuildTitleKeys.php:

MediaWiki: 1.12.0 PHP: 5.2.6 (apache2handler) MySQL: 5.1.23-rc Installierte Erweiterungen TitleKey Hintergrundprozess für die Titelsuche Brion Vibber $wgUseAjax = true; But nothing happens, when i type something into the search-field... any ideas?--Nolispanmo 10:58, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Same here. I tried to install it on Russian version of wiki. Ran php rebuildTitleKeys.php. Table seems to fill normally. But search form doesn't have new functionality. =(
 * I have the same problem, installed MW1.13, MySQL 5.0.5, PHP5.2.6 (apache2). I ran titlekey.sql, update.php, rebuildall.php, rebuildtitlekeys.php, clear cache, close, restart, IE, Firefox, but nothing.  Could it be because there is a table prefix?  An answer would be very much appreciated. Txs. --142.206.2.12 16:58, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

MediaWiki 1.13 & TitleKey is not working
I have the same problem with Titlekey extension. I use MediaWiki 1.13 and installed the extensions inclusive the update script for the database. The parameter $wgUseAjax is true and the result is that nothing happens. Is there something else to do? --82.113.113.161 09:14, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

I've got same problem. MW 1.13.1 --193.0.96.15 12:48, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I've got the same problem. MW 1.13.1. Installed as directed, table rebuild seems to work. No drop down suggestion box. What am I missing? Does this only work on 1.12? 99.154.200.21 02:46, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * See section suggest search terms. You don't need "TitleKey" for that. --Nolispanmo 08:20, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

suggest search terms
no suggestion search field?
 * 1) you don't need the TitleKey-extension to activate the search field suggestion
 * 2) open the file : LocalSettings.php
 * 3) set $wgEnableMWSuggest = true;
 * 4) Greetings --Nolispanmo 14:12, 9 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thx! That's it! --92.75.2.106 18:26, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Needed in MediaWiki 1.14?
The purpose of TitleKey remains a bit unclear, please add an explanation to the description page. We use MW 1.14 (SVN) and have NOT installed either it or MWSearch. We can search case-insensitively for page titles. What does TitleKey add? I guess the "prefix" in "title prefix search plugin" has a special meaning, please help to explain it. --Vigilius 22:12, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I thought TitleKey adds case-insensitivity to autocomplete-search --Heiko Haller 10:12, 15 December 2008 (UTC)


 * But actually MediaWiki (at least v1.14) has already a case-insensitive search suggest. Weird... I'd like to know more about it, too. --62.214.240.39 01:37, 12 May 2009 (UTC) (Rob)


 * No, it doesn't. Create the page "caS e. seNsiTive" on your wiki and enter "cas" into the search box; you'll see that the autosuggest magic vanishes as soon as you enter a letter that's the wrong case (except the first letter in the search) if you don't have TitleKey. —Emufarmers(T 02:23, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
