Extension talk:DeleteHistory

Doesn't work on 1.16
''' FIXED in 0.2 version

Where do we find the DeleteHistory.php file?

The special page doesn't exist :

'Vous avez demandé une page spéciale qui n’existe pas.

Doesn't work on 1.16.


 * I'm having a similar problem (also 1.16). It doesn't seem to do anything; when I tell it to "simply check" and click the "Validate" button, the "Results:" box is empty. From looking at the php files, it appears that it's trying to call "php $pwd/maintenance/deleteOldRevisions.php". When I go into the "maintenance" directory and run that command manually, it complains about the LocalSettings.php file not being found.  If I copy that file into the maintenance directory, then that works, but the extension still doesn't do anything.  Does anyone know what needs to be changed (do I need to put LocalSettings.php somewhere else) to get this to work as intended? Bfunchess 17:18, 26 May 2011 (UTC)


 * You must rename the files after download
 * DeleteHistory_DeleteHistory.alias.php => DeleteHistory.alias.php
 * DeleteHistory_DeleteHistory.i18n.php => DeleteHistory.i18n.php
 * DeleteHistory_....

 * I have this same issue. It can optimize tables just fine, but actually deleting old revisions does not work and returns an empty result.
 * The line that should return a result is $out_logs = shell_exec(escapeshellcmd($command)); and this returns empty.
 * I have checked things and it is finding and trying to run the deleteOldRevisions.php command but nothing happens, and I have no idea why.

'''You need to install php-cli to make it work


 * Same issue here. I have the extension installed and shows up in the Special pages, but when clicking the 'validate' it returns nothing. I checked with my host and php-cli is indeed installed (it's on a CentOS server) but not sure if the path/location of it is correct or not. If someone could let me know what needs to be where the in the file structure and/or what needs to be set up how and where to get this running it would be great.

Doesn't work on 1.27.0
Hello all.

I have updated my wiki to fresh 1.27.0 and the extension doesn't work! The message appears when I click to DeleteHistory at Special Page:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wfMsg in /var/www/admin/www/wikijournal.ru/extensions/DeleteHistory/DeleteHistory_body.php on line 64

Any ideas how to fix it?

You can replace wfMsg with wfMessage

You can also replace with

Still doesn't work
I tried to do so, but there are some other errors

For me the same and I also replace wfMsg with wfMessage as stated below with the example for 1.28, but it's giving me: [error] [7b57fb732798d949efd36bda] /tst/index.php/Special:DeleteHistory ErrorException from line 204 of /path_to/mediawiki/tst/extensions/added/DeleteHistory/DeleteHistory_body.php: PHP Notice: Undefined variable: out_opt

Talk_Pages MediaWiki 1.27.1
The extension doesn't detect the history of the Talk/Discussion pages. Could it be fixed?

MediaWiki 1.27.1 and DeleteHistory .08
Hi,

I use
 * MediaWiki 1.27.1
 * PHP 5.6.18
 * MySql 5.7.11
 * Icu 56.1
 * Extension:DeleteHistory .08
 * Langage : Français

It's a new wiki site.

I've installed Extension:DeleteHistory and i have this error Http://www.developpez.net/forums/attachments/p221768d1475500516/php/scripts/wiki/mediawiki-deletehistory/739634capture.jpg

I've changed

$dbw =& wfGetDB( DB_MASTER ); with $dbw = wfGetDB( DB_MASTER );

When I go on Pages_Spéciales and select DeleteHystory and "test" or "Suppression de l'historique", i have an error and this message :

Error : Missing one or more required components of PHP. You are missing a required extension to PHP that MediaWiki needs. Please Install :
 * mbstring

This wiki is local but I want to host it on Free.fr. What should I do to use this extension with my setup?

Merci par avance ... 8)

Something like a patch for MediaWiki 1.28.0
I have modified code of the extension, according to this manual: Help with replacing deprecated wfMsg* functions. Also I have added some code which allows the extension to be used with wiki family.

I'm not programmer and also I don't know PHP, so these changes could be done in more professional way, but at this state DeleteHistory extension works for me.

Modified file is : ";

// Get size after $db_size_new = get_db_size; }

// Fix display pre problem if ((isset($_POST['choice'])) and ($_POST['choice'] != "")) {           $wgOut->addHTML(" "); $wgOut->addWikiText('=' . wfMessage('result') . '=');

// Show DB size if ask to optimize if ($show_db_size == 1) {               function kb_or_mb($db_size_old,$db_size_new) {                   $spacewon=($db_size_old - $db_size_new); if ($spacewon < 1) {                       $spacewon = ($spacewon * 1024). " KB"; }                   else {                       $spacewon = $spacewon. " MB"; }                   return $spacewon; }               // Show result $wgOut->addHTML("

");           }

if ($out_opt) {               $wgOut->addWikiText('=' . wfMessage('opt_stat') . '='); $wgOut->addHTML($out_opt . ' '); }           if ($out_logs) {               if ($_POST['choice'] == "2") {                   $wgOut->addWikiText('=' . wfMessage('logs') . '='); }               $wgOut->addHTML(" ".$out_logs." "); }       }        return true; } }

Not work in MediaWiki v1.28.0
I wanted to try the extension, but it does not work.

I tried the patch made by Spas.Z.Spasov

Now it works, but it can not delete the single edit. But this is not what I was looking for.
