Extension talk:MediaWiki Bulletin Board

Demo Page
Is there any demo-page to try out this extension? --Nyks 14:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Pretty Cool
I have this running on tmug.org here here are some issues


 * when setting up a fourm, if users only is selected, error is returned, saying forum_perm was left blank
 * it is confusing - what is specials group?
 * PM system - users can't delete a PM - kind of understandable because of delete permissions w/i MW itself

 * thanks for the demo. But we need to be a member to post and there is no message. The only way to really know how it works still seems to install it. Any other demo? --70.52.210.6 14:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Simple, effective
I installed MediaWiki Bulletin Board here on Dirtopia. Some of the CSS is embedded, but what do you want? It's version 0.1! Thanks. --Travisk 07:38, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Admin panel
I can't see the link to the Admin panel anywhere. There is text saying visit the Admin panel, but no link. How do I access it. Thanks Gsix14 08:41, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Install.php did not work for me
Install.php did not work for me. So, I copied the  into MySql to create a table. I replaced the  with the prefix of my data, and it worked. I have MediaWiki v1.9 and I didn't find the code on SkinTemplate.php mentioned in the pm install section. Is this because v1.9 has its own pm message function?--Kohyin 07:36, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Help!
http://kdeopsys.110mb.com/wiki/index.php/Special:Forum (my site) is set up but not working. HELP!

Nice bit of software. Modding it up now.
For a 0.1 version bit of code, this is pretty darned decent. Seems to work just peachy in mediawiki 1.9. I am using it as a framework and trying to supe it up a little to do some of what I need. First off, I have set up the topic display to be actually readable... in the existing version, long topics are pretty much illegible. Next up I am de-embedding all the CSS. When I have made a slightly more skinnable version with the CSS separate I will post it here for all to enjoy. If I can get avatars and things like that working after, I will continue to post any successes here.

WikiCode
I've worked on enabling wikicode on MWBB. I'm not a programmer, you see, but i've tried out something like that:

1. I found the lines in topic.php: $html.=' |  '.$skin->makeKnownLink('Special:Post/reply','Quote','tid='.$topic_data['topic_id'].'&quote='.$data[$i]['post_id']); $html.=' '; $html.=' '; }  return $html; } And after "return $html" and before " } " i've put $html=$wgOut->addHTML($html); $html=$wgOut->addwikiText($html);

That's providing an bold ( bold ), italic ( italic ) text, links ( links ), and graphics. The signatures ( and ~ ) does not work.

I'm testing it now.

Compatibility problems with IE7.
--TDeeming 09:59, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * After installing to my MW 1.93... and using several of the hints above to get it working... Thanks!
 * like manually creating the msql tables...
 * I found that the monobook skin layout was distorted.
 * There is a space between the tabs and the pages.
 * The navigation bar has disappeared on some pages... like the help page...
 * I had experienced this after installation of the "myblogs" extension... but at some point the problem just went away, but I am not sure why.
 * Just for fun, I decided to try another browser (Firefox 2.0)... and the format of the pages was fine.


 * The MWBB extension itself "appears" to be working without any immediate problems, but with this formating problem with IE7... I'm afraid I will have to disable it again.


 * I also entered this information on the sourceforge site Bulliten Board... but it seems as if nobody is monitoring it.


 * Anyone have any ideas?
