What might be wrong if tag is simply rendered out as text?
Hi there!

I know, this is not the appropriate place to ask this, but I couldn't find any other way to get in contact to anybody who might know this:

When I install the calendar extension (download, unzip into extension directory, edit localsettings.php as described) and then add the tag in a page, it seems that the extension doesn't pick up this tag. Instead MediaWiki converts the <> to their hmtl equivalents and simply outputs the whole string which I suppose is the correct behaviour if this extension wasn't installed.

Any suggestions?

 * What is the MediaWiki path to the extension?
 * What is the the path you have in localsetting? It should resemble this: require_once('$IP/extensions/Calendar/calendar.php');
 * make sure the case matches for the folder and the calendar.php file...

Besides that, I really dont know... its as simple as making sure the localsetting/php path you add matches the folder you install too.

Thanks for the suggestions!

My MediaWiki installation is in the subdirectory "mediaWiki" from the root document folder of my apache installation, so I have this
 * /www <-- apache root
 * /www/mediaWiki <-- MediaWiki installation
 * /www/mediaWiki/extensions/ <-- Extensions
 * /www/mediaWiki/extensions/Calendar <-- Kenyu73 Calendar extension

I added this line to
 * require_once('$IP/extensions/Calendar/Calendar.php');
 * /www/mediaWiki/LocalSettings.php

This path seems to be correct, because if I change this to something different from that my MediaWiki doesn't output anything.

Cases do match. Perhaps I should mention that I am running MediaWiki on Apache on a Windows XP machine.

Any other thoughts on this?

re2: response
I dont see any reason why that combo wouldn't work. I test with mySQL/IIS6/XP and mySQL/Apache/Linux and no one has posted any issues about it not working. If MediaWiki isn't converting the tag, then its something with the MediaWiki setup in some form. Have you tried other extensions?
