Extension:MailDigest

What can this extension do?
Instead of visiting the wiki, and optionally logging in, and opening the RecentChanges page, this extensions allows a configured scheduling job to mail you this list.

Usage
Currently this extension is implemented using a special action. By calling any page from the wiki with the "?action=maildigest" parameter, will mail the watch list to any user interested.

Note that this is the first release, however functional, it needs a few minor updates. For instance the language settings need extension and fixes in the code. Another issue is that it actually should not be an action triggered extension, but be a special page. Anyway that's where the community will help (I hope).

It is based upon code: Email Digest. This code is rather expired for the current versions of mediawiki. And this extention allows installation without hacking the original codebase.

Download instructions
Please cut and paste the code found below and place it in. Note: $IP stands for the root directory of your MediaWiki installation, the same directory that holds LocalSettings.php.

Installation
To install this extension, add the following to LocalSettings.php:

Configuration parameters

 * none, yet

User rights

 * None, yet. But adding a group with maildigest permission would be nice. Currently the ip-address is checked.
