Extension talk:CentralAuth/Walkthrough

Errors
Basically, I followed your instructions and can merge users, but when I try to look up global user info, I got a PHP error saying that a non-existent function was being defined. The helper said that this site-info-getting function only existed in the trunk version, however I don't know what that means.Jasper Deng 23:32, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry you're having issues. I'm making the assumption theres a bug in the current code, but actually don't know. You might want to try starting again and using the wmf deployed extension, which is usually more stable but isn't the latest, such as http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/wmf-deployment/extensions/CentralAuth/ Since I'm not a php programmer other than <?php echo "hello world"I can't really comment on the php error itself, although both a bug and running on an older version of MW could explain it. What version are you running? Good luck, Thompson.matthew 04:22, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Using the released 1.18; I don't know what "trunk" means; the PHP error only meant that I had to "use the trunk".Jasper Deng 04:28, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Problems
I have everything installed but when I goto GlobalGroupPermissions and attempt to edit a group, they are all disabled. And something else I noticed, the "Set of wikis where this group is active:" part says 0 for each group. I just don't get it. Hope you can help. Thanks, Jempcorp (talk) 16:57, 29 June 2012 (UTC).
 * It's OK! I fixed it by modifying the extension so that it checked local rights. Then I added a wikiset and set the groups to the wikiset, then I reverted my edits of the extension and it works perfectly! :D Thanks anyway for all your help in creating that tutorial!
