Extension talk:FileIndexer

Discussions Pre Version 0.4.5.03
Hi everyone.

To make maintenance work to this extension a bit easier for me, I decided to clear this talkpage. All discussions from before this version are placed in a subpage: Discussions Pre Version 0.4.5.03.

So... party on. --RaZe 16:21, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

German signs make code unreadable + File contents not ending with ?>
Hi, thanks for this great extension! I had some trouble getting it to work, because at first I hadn't noticed the 4 pages with the file contents did not end the code with ?>. Second, the line for German only characters caused php to generate an error, apparently the characters were converted to something unreadable by php, after pasting the content in vi. I had to delete that whole part. -Bob


 * Hi Bob. To be honest, I myself haven't seen PHP code not ending with the closing tag till mediawiki... even now this is the only place where I use this feature cause I felt it was normal for mediawiki developers as I found more and more extensions doing this.
 * About the german signs: I will try to find a better way soon/next time. To let others know I will add this to the topic.

 * It is apart of our Coding_Conventions because it can cause issues when they are included, and we don't loose anything (benefit wise) if they aren't. Peachey88 00:54, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Getting no index
Hi I'm running version 0.4.5.03 on MW 1.16.2 and PHP 5.3.3 on Ubuntu 10.10. I've carefully followed all the installation instructions and installed all the required tools. The SpecialPage all works and it gives a list of articles for which the index update process was started. However, when I search for a word that I know is in one of the documents nothing is found. If I go to a file page it shows: :--Mitchelln 11:32, 21 April 2011 (UTC) File Index

The following index was taken from the files content:

Any ideas? How can I debug this? Many thanks. :--Mitchelln 11:32, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Of course you need to remove the pre /pre from the FileIndex Template

Missing Checkbox "FileIndexer: [ ] Create/update index"
I'm missing the checkbox "FileIndexer: [ ] Create/update index" afer installing FileIndexer. It is shon on the page "Special:Upload" but not on "Special:UploadWindow". How can I make the checkbox appear on "Special:UploadWindow"? - stevewilson 11:45, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

No index...
Added FileIndexer to my MediaWiki installation. Uploaded a .docx file, and tried to search for some text that was inside the file... and I got nothing.

Also, when I try to upload a .doc file, it says MIME type doesn't match file extension!?
