Extension talk:UserRightsList

Remember for MediaWiki 1.11, all your hooks need to return true or false.
 * thanks for the catch. I know I missed a return true at the end of loadmessages, did you see any others?  I just added that to the example at Writing_a_new_special_page so others won't do what I did and miss it.

 * Yeah, line 275:  should return true as well.
 * fixed in 0.21

Minor bug
This extension fails to take into account $wgDBprefix so far. :) I've put up a quick patch here; I tested it briefly, but I can't guarantee that I didn't miss any places where it should be added as well. -- Schneelocke 20:37, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

This patch indeed helps. Thank you. 89.179.245.37 17:23, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * fixed in 0.21
 * Looks like it's broken in the same way with respect to $wgDBprefix in 0.22. Jlerner 23:53, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Slight hack
Hi, thanks for a great extension, it helps us maintain our users really well on out site. The only problem we faced was that we have users log in with an ID - via LDAP, and the user id as printed out in the Rights List isn't meaningful. So, we set a site policy where users have to go to their preferences to fill in their Full Name at least, then I altered two small sections of code. The firs was to add u.user_real_name to the SQL select statements, and then of course I extended the output into the first fields to print out the real name, works a treat, we can now see a proper name against a number. Thanks again, Nibb 19:42, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Proposal for better readability
Hi,

seems like a nice extension to me, but I'm having trouble staying in the correct line for a user. Would it be possible to enhance usability through shading every other line of the grid in a slightly darker colour? I know this "reading-help" from Thunderbird and it really makes a difference.

File link seems to be missing
Any ideas if it is coming back?

Kind of bug
Hi, I was previously using UserRightsList extension version 0.1 and found it very useful. Today I upgraded to 0.22 and I found that it is not possible to remove users from all groups. At the moment, user has to be a member of at least one group (any group). When I uncheck last remaining group for a user, only SELECT queries are executed in DB. :-(

I use MediaWiki 1.11.1

Could it be fixed, please?

Thanks, Pawel

Some changes don't stick when using filter
When I use the "registered after" filter, it seems that changes don't stick to certain users - those who appear in the second group of 50 or higher when not using any filters. Anyone experience something similar? Jlerner 00:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Does not delete
help:: I install the extension in my Wiki (V1.10). I have two avail access [bot and Sysop). If I add a user to one of the group save and enter it works . However it will not save any addition update or delete for the users. So if I tried to remove the user access .. it allow me to uncheck and then it redirect me to the user list... no errors but does not change the user access.

Database Syntax Error
When I try to run this extension, I got the following error:

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 "". MySQL returned error "1142: SELECT command denied to user 'blogger'@'localhost' for table 'user' (localhost)".

At first, I thought it was a permissions error, but the user has all privileges for that database. This really looks like something I'd love to have. Any ideas what's going on here? Anyone experienced this before? --StochasticJack 19:20, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I get the same error message and really need to get this extension to work. Has anyone got any ideas?
