Pages are not added to Collection
Hi, I've installed the extension as described, using default values and the default PDF-server provided by Pediapress. Well, whatever I do, I can not find any articles to be added to any Collection, neither by manually editing the collections, nor by clicking the link "Add to collection" - what is wrong?

Thanks so much --Fxk 13:37, 14 May 2008 (UTC)


 * What exactly happens when you click "Add to collection" (You do mean the link in the "my collection" section of the left column when viewing an article, do you?)? Is the count of articles in parentheses after "Show Collection" increased while you are staying on the article page? When you click on "Show Collection" what happens/what's displayed on the following page? What exactly do you mean by "editing the collections"? Does the MediaWiki you are using have sessions enabled? -- J. Beigel 18:12, 14 May 2008 (CEST)


 * One question at a time (My mediawiki is set to german, so my translations might not be correct at all times..):
 * "Add to collection" - the page Special:Collection/add_article comes up, looks just like the screenshot or the collection-page on wikieducator - but then - after a moment of loading - it says "Empty collection" and the button to download the pdf gets disabled....
 * The count of articles in parentheses remains 0 at all times.
 * "Show Collection" - the page Special:Collection, but only shows an empty collection, like above.
 * Editing the collections - I can't recall how, but I managed to save two collections, which I can now edit when I click through Categories -> Collections ... but again this doesn't have any effect on the page Special:Collection
 * Sessions: I have to admint - I don't know - I've looked arround in my LocalSettings.php but couldn't find any hints pointing either directions... - can you help me on this?
 * Thanks so much so far... --Fxk 21:57, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
