I just tried installing this extension, and I'm pretty sure I followed the directions exactly, but I'm getting the error:

[04-Apr-2007 21:01:29] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method ParserOutput::addHeadItem in ...\extensions\SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi\SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.php on line 113

Fatal error: Call to undefined method ParserOutput::addHeadItem in ...\wiki\extensions\SyntaxHighlight\SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.php on line 113

I'm work with windows apache2 & php5, and i have already tried to take some older versions, but nothing changed.

I think ParserOutput::addHeadItem was added quite recently - so the current version of this extension only works with the current development trunk. You will have to use an older version with MW 1.9. -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 11:25, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Yea, try this version: -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 11:28, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

DSig
I originally downloaded the current version of SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.php pointed at by the article. I put the php into the extensions directory. I unziped the current GeSHi. it created a GeSHI-1.0.7.19 directory with geshi directory inside of it. I then moved the geSHi directory into the extensions directory.

so we have

extenstions (dir) SyntaxhHighlight_GeSHi.php geshi (dir) (everything under geshi)

I modified the localsettings.php to point to the correct location require_once("extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.php");

I got a couple of errors on require so using echo i worked out directories but then i get

Fatal error: Call to undefined function efSyntaxHighlightMessages in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\wikiSanMar\extensions\SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.php on line 65

I have tried both the originally posted code and then the older code noted above.

Ideas? I am sure it is something to do with where I have located it all as I doubt that this would have been posted without it working. SO fire away .. where have I gone all wrong

Thanks

213.186.1.162 10:47, 13 April 2007 (UTC) Try changing efSyntaxHighlightMessages to efSyntaxHighlight_GeSHiMessages. Worked for us!


 * This worked great .. thanks --Dtsig 19:02, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I gave up
For those that just want highlighting without jumping through hoops, I ended up using this GeSHi extension on my 1.7+ wiki:

GeSHiHighlight.php

Has there been a resolution to this yet?
I was having the same issue as above:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method ParserOutput::addHeadItem in ...\wiki\extensions\SyntaxHighlight\SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.php on line 113

Attempted this:

Yea, try this version: -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 11:28, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

which led to:

PHP Fatal error: require_once [function.require]: Failed opening required '/var/www/html/devwiki/extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/SyntaxHighlight.i18n.php' (include_path='/var/www/html/devwiki:/var/www/html/devwiki/includes:/var/www/html/devwiki/languages:.:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/html/devwiki/extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.php on line 59

Is there any updates on this or am I going to have to use a different extension for this?

One Solution
You need to rename the file "SyntaxHighlight.i18n.php" to "SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.i18n.php"

Then inside either file make sure the names:

"efSyntaxHighlightMessages"

"efSyntaxHighlight_GeSHiMessages" Match, puick one, and rename it and your away, not sure what version we arep laying with here but its now working for me, all I care about.

What about further version of mediawiki?
I try it with 1.9.3 and the latest highlight-files and get an error which look similar: "Fatal error: Call to undefined method ParserOutput::addHeadItem in /opt/lampp/htdocs/labbook/extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.php on line 127"

Why it is so sensitive to the used version.

What is the alternative extension, to highlight bash and perl, which is more stable?

Inline usage
Is there a way to highlight a small piece of code inline, i.e. make &lt;source> into &lt;span>? I tried enclose=none but it doesn't work (while enclose=div does work) -- Alex Smotrov 16:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

References use in comments
hi,

It seems we can't use the tag in comments. (sorry for my really poor english). 82.226.213.114 00:57, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

solution for me
Replaced the $parser->mOutput->addHeadItem( ... )-Code with:

$out = "/*<![CDATA[*/\n". ".source-$lang {line-height: normal;}\n". ".source-$lang li {line-height: normal;}\n". $geshi->get_stylesheet( false ). "/*]]>*/ \n$sitecss".$out;

It is very VERY ugly and not valid, but FF2 and IE7 seem to show it properly.

1.9.3 and character parsing in SyntaxHighlight
This works great with the following exception.

Characters like < > get changed to their html equiv &lt etc

These characters are *kind of* important in source :)

I would have thought that this extension should bypass wiki/html parsing .. yes? As we see above a PRE protects the angle brackets .. shouldn't source

fyi .. This same behavior is found in 1.10.0 ..

Has anyone else seen this? Thanks --Dtsig 15:20, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


 * If you allow stuff like <> then you open a big hole for things like javascript ....
 * And what's possible with javascript is (do say it frendly) not nice (phising, steal passwords ...).
 * If you need the "nacked" code use &action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s example:
 * Anyway: I don't see you're problem, because with copy&past "highlighted" sources work well.
 * -- MichaelFrey 15:42, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


 * '.. don't see you're problem .. ' I am not sure what you are saying here. What source did you copy&paste?   The fact that a < becomes &lt is a problem.  I will look at the link you posted. --208.214.103.202 20:30, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * hmmm german .. sorry I do not understand it. --Dtsig 20:33, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Why or when is the &lt a problem for you?
 * I mean all actual Browsers like FF 2.0 and IE 7.0 render the source code correct.
 * You say, "PRE protects the angle brackets" but when I look at into the HTML source of that talk page, I see also the html equivalents of.
 * Anyway, sorry that my link was wrong, her 2 correct exampels:
 * Again: If the extension bypass things like < > it is a hole for Cross-site scripting and similar things.

Language which doesn't work yet
Hi,

I participate in writing the Wikibook about Haskell.

GeSHi doesn't support Haskell yet, but it might in the near future (see the feature request).

In the meantime, if i try to write  or something else.

Is it possible to modify this extension for that?

If this is not the right place to propose it, please tell me what is the right place.

Thanks in advance. --Amir E. Aharoni 16:55, 8 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I entered a feature request in Bugzilla: 10201 Allow showing code in an unsupported language with a warning. Come on and vote for it if you like it :) --Amir E. Aharoni 18:27, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
