Extension talk:Interwiki/Archive 1

Just a note to say that this works with 1.5 too! Thanks.

Database?
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but is it supposed to produce the database tables for me, or do I have to create them? I keep getting errors that the table it wants doesn't exist. I don't mind editing them manually, but there doesn't appear to be any instructions for doing so... --69.250.40.75 03:09, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Function error
Doesn't work in the new version(1.5.7) of wikimedia.

I get Fatal error: Call to undefined function: includable in /extensions/SpecialInterwiki.php on line 65 --Sgrayban 14:37, 24 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Me too, but mine's: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /includes/SkinTemplate.php on line 306 - 154.20.86.196 05:25, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Me too - Mediawiki 1.6.3, php 5.1.2, my error is: PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function getID on a non-object in /usr/local/www/data-dist/mediawiki/includes/SkinTemplate.php on line 306, referer: http://wiki.bitparts.org/index.php/Special:Specialpages 71.11.157.24 04:32, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I also get this error: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /includes/SkinTemplate.php on line 306 --68.220.84.93 21:29, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Security fixes
The original version of this code had some bugs, including some security issues:
 * cross-site request forging
 * cross-site scripting via HTML/JavaScript injection
 * SQL injection

Additionally some of the HTML output wasn't well-formed so it would break XML-strict browsers when the wiki is configured for sending the 'real' XHTML Content-Type.

I've made some corrections to the copy on the wiki page:
 * Use of the edit token to protect against forged form submissions
 * Escaping of HTML output to protect against JavaScript injection/XSS
 * Switched from manual SQL (missing escaping) to the database query builder functions which provide safety automatically

Also the bug running on current 1.6 versions is fixed by adding the call to $this->setHeaders. --brion 08:26, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

SVN?
Anyone know what the process is on getting this into svn? It seems it would be of much more benefit there. --Ymmotrojam 17:47, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Seconded. This is such a basic feature it ought to be at least in the Extensions Subversion repository, and probably in the main SVN. I don't know how to request that but I imagine Bugzilla is as good a way as any. Unfortunately Wikimedia's Bugzilla is down right now. --Kingboyk 17:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Read-only version
Upon reflection, this doesn't really fulfill my need. To manipulate the interwiki list I just use phpMyAdmin or MS Access. What I would like - and I think this ought to be built-in Mediawiki - is a read-only list of interwiki links for the benefit of the users.

Anyway I'll have a play and maybe will come up with something I can post back here. --Kingboyk 19:59, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, it's read only for those without privileges ("developer" group in my install). Works fine on 1.8.2 (r18799). --Kingboyk 20:15, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
