[RESOLVED] Undefined Variable "jobs"
This is just the extension I was looking for. However I get the following error upon execution:

Notice: Undefined variable: jobs in /var/www/web15/html/extensions/ReplaceText/SpecialReplaceText.php on line 81

any ideas? thanks so much --77.7.251.34 16:50, 17 January 2009 (UTC) (Sebastian)

was fixed thanks to email from extension creator. --77.7.218.238 00:05, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

[RESOLVED] No replacement takes place
Very nice extension!

Two things:

1. One hint: in the readme there is missing: $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['replacetext'] = true;

2. Installation worked fine.
 * a I can access the specialpage.
 * b write my Search - Replace
 * c get a list of articles
 * d Check two articles where replacement should happen
 * e and then I get the message (no error-message):

Text ersetzen „May“ wird durch „ZYX“ in 0 Seiten ersetzt

translated maybe:

Text replacement „May“ will be replaced by „ZYX“ in 0 Pages

It should have replaced the zwo pages.

As a test I switchted off all my other extensions.

What mistake did I make?

 * I get the same thing basically, but I thought it was related to the error I posted above --77.7.251.34 17:41, 17 January 2009 (UTC) (Sebastian)
 * The installation requirement omission was fixed in r45859. I tested version 'trunk' of the extension on MediaWiki 1.15alpha r45851. This was my use case:
 * pages A with content 'changeme', B with content 'changeme too', funnytitle with content 'rename me', and Please changeme with content 'blah'. I performed 2 replace commands: "changeme" to "changed" and "funny" to "not a funny". I could change the reported behaviour, and the notice. The problem is in line 71 . The values checked against are (count 8): . No time to look into fixing this (if I even could)... siebrand 00:31, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Maybe it helps.
 * I am using:
 * MediaWiki  1.13.3
 * PHP        5.2.6-2 (cgi-fcgi)
 * MySQL      5.0.51a-9
 * ReplaceText 0.3.1
 * Jan--89.52.191.30 11:02, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It's the new version. Didn't replace although everything looked like it does now. Using the previous again ;) --Subfader 13:53, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Now I have tried the old version ReplaceText 0.3 - it works. Hope someone will solve the problem with 0.3.1. Jan --89.52.191.30 14:33, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

This is fixed in the new version, 0.3.2. Sorry about all the problems. Yaron Koren 16:57, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * That's allowed with status beta, isn't it? Feature request: check box to (not) suppress creating a redirect when renaming a page. siebrand 17:02, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * When would you want a moved page to not redirect to its new location? Yaron Koren 17:20, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I would at least like to have the option to suppress (like is possible when moving a page (with subpages). There is a right for this in core called 'suppressredirect'. siebrand 21:02, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, good idea - this is done in version 0.4. Yaron Koren 23:46, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanx for your quick reaction. Erverthing works fine now. Jan--89.52.191.30 20:11, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

System message "Permission Error"
Just checked what normal users see why they try to access ReplaceText. Headline is "Permission Error" followed by MediaWiki:Badaccess-group1 which doesn't parse the wiki links. In normal permission errors (e.g. unauth. editing) I get "Permissions Erros" followed by MediaWiki:Permissionserrorstext and then MediaWiki:Badaccess-group1. Anyway, shouldn't it be Badaccess-groups? --Subfader 22:02, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hm - the ReplaceText just calls "$wgOut->permissionRequired('replacetext');", so the setting of the message is up to MediaWiki. Should the code be calling something else? Yaron Koren 23:32, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I use Badaccess-group1 for "You need to login or register to edit". But here it's for Sysops only. Badaccess-groups uses "The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups $1" --Subfader 09:22, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know, but, as I said, the ReplaceText PHP code doesn't call any specific language message directly. Yaron Koren 13:25, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
