Collateral problems with LiquidThreads extension
I have installed the LiquidThreads extension with the SocialRewarding extension, but I disabled the SocialRewarding extension because it originated problems with LiquidThreads extension.

When I want to add a new discussion theme, a PHP Warning is originated: "Call to a member function articleFromTitle on a non-object in /var/www/wiki/extensions/SocialRewarding/SocialRewardingOtherFunctions.php on line 126, referer: http://localhost/wiki/index.php/Discussion:Forum" and I can't add the new discussion theme.

I'm working with the lastest version of SocialRewarding installed in MediaWiki 1.16.4, with the LiquidThreads version for this MediaWiki obtanied from "REL1_16" SVN branch.

Installing with mod_rewrite used to eliminate "index.php" from urls
If you're using mod_rewrite to eliminate "index.php" from your urls, and you try to install by navigating to "Special pages==>Social Rewarding: Installation", then the install script won't work. What worked for me was to manually enter the url, including index.php. For example: http://yourwebsite.com/wiki/index.php/Special:SocialRewardingInstall. --97.124.193.171 21:09, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Solution to Installation Problems with Newer Versions of MediaWiki
I also ran into the same problem listed a few times below after installing the SocialRewarding extension. I followed the lead provided by the error message "should return true to continue hook processing or false to abort." and modified specific functions in SocialRewardingHooksFunctions.php to return true. It is now working on our MW 1.12 system.

I added 'return true' to the end of the following functions in SocialRewardingHooksFunctions.php:
 * SocialRewardingMostViewed
 * SocialRewardingRating
 * SocialRewardingRecommend
 * SocialRewardingAutoMarkup

Unable to install either
I receive this error:

Detected bug in an extension! Hook SocialRewardingMostViewed failed to return a value; should return true to continue hook processing or false to abort.

Not possible to get Google key anymore
[http://code.google.com/apis/soapsearch As of December 5, 2006, we are no longer issuing new API keys for the SOAP Search API. Developers with existing SOAP Search API keys will not be affected]

I can't install the extension
I uploaded the files and set the require once in the localsettings.php and copied the special page files in the include directory

I use: * MediaWiki: 1.11.0 * PHP: 5.2.4 (cgi) * MySQL: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch1

This is the error I get. any idea where this could come from?

Hi,

I tried it with MW 1.13 and it didn't work.

But i have a test environment too, with MW 1.9, and there are no problems. I think that your MW 1.11 is to new for this Extension.

problem in installation
i've the same problem

The SpecialSocialRewardingAuthorsHistory cannot split the result
If there was a long list appeared, SpecialSocialRewardingAuthorsHistory and SpecialSocialRewardingAuthorsRanking could not split the list to a series subpages like SpecialSocialRewardingListUsers did.

How can we solve the problem? --Alpha3 08:15, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

status of the extension
Hi dear developers! I've read your master thesis and the description is AWESOME! I dream of running the extension on the current MediaWiki version, but what's the status of it? Do you plan to release new versions? Katkov Yury 06:58, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
