$wgCategoryOnUploadList doesn't work?
I have an array setup per the instructions, but it still just shows the entire category list when you try to upload. MW1.15.1


 * only the development version supports the configuration setting $wgCategoryOnUploadList.


 * Thanks for the reply. :) Do you know if the svn version will work on MW1.15.1 or is it only tested on 1.16a?


 * It worked on my MW1.15.1 setting.

Also didn't work on my MW1.15.1. Maybe the description page should contain a note about that issue. It reads as if it would work from 1.11 while in fact it doesn't.--Schmelzle 09:35, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Multiple Categories?
Is it possible to allow for selection of multiple categories? I would imagine this would require javascript to add entry fields and then put them into some foreach loop. My thoughts were going to be to make the drop-down list a copy/paste function which will add them to a text-entry field (thus people could, supposedly, add their own new categories that way). Has anyone been working on Multiple fields with this?

 * Perhaps simply add an option for multiple selection drop-down boxes? ie: $wgCategoryOnUploadNumber = 3 could result in 3 drop downs with which to choose from 3 different categories? --D0li0 02:29, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Problems with MW 1.16alpha
The extensions seems not to work in MW 1.16alpha. The following error message appears: Fatal error: Cannot access protected property SpecialUpload::$mComment in ../extensions/CategoryOnUpload/CategoryOnUpload.php on line 179

Do you have an idea what is the reason for it? Thanks for support! --77.179.215.216 16:32, 15 March 2010 (UTC) I had a user report seeing this error to me, but I can't recreate it... MW 1.16beta 2. Anyone know the cause or the fix?--84.93.16.201 07:32, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
