Would you be interested to demonstrate the use of your extensions on the DPLDEMO website? If yes, please leave a note on my user discussion page there. Algorithmix 06:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I have StackFunctions (with some modifications) on http://nomicapolis.net and I'm forseeing all kinds of uses for it (I only have one trivial production use of it right now, but that will change). It does appear that array literal syntax is broken however -- the ] operator pushes an empty array, but fails to load the stack above the mark. 67.98.226.13 21:45, 8 June 2007 (UTC) (User:Chuck from nomicapolis.net)


 * The ] operator of StackFunctions should create an array of the Stack elements from the last preceding [ on, and that works. However, you have discovered a bug: when there is no preceding [, an exception should be raised. I just published version 0.563 where this is fixed. RV1971 20:39, 9 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Part of my bug was a screwup on my part -- I replaced all the type letters with constants, but I did so case-insensitively, so the case for "a" was shadowing the case for "A", which certainly hosed array/dict creation! I think that [, ], and double-angle-brackets are supposed to be operators in systemdict (which makes them able to be redefined), but this works for now.  I'm also finding ghostscript to be a wonderful way to test for proper behavior :)  I'd love to collaborate more on StackFunctions, but it's a bit cumbersome to go back and forth on wiki talk pages, so if you want, you can reach me at cja987@gmail.com. 64.121.2.24 21:09, 9 June 2007 (UTC) (User:Chuck on Nomicapolis)

FYI, You might want to not allow the serialize operator by default, as it can be used to upload and automatically execute arbitrary PHP code: if it unserializes an object, it will call a __wakeup method on the object if it's defined. What I did was use the mcrypt module to encrypt the serialized code with a key stored in the source. I haven't updated the %Z handling yet, but it's basically the same code path. Of course this adds a lot of overhead, but it should still be a win if there's a lot of code to parse. 64.121.2.24 04:55, 10 June 2007 (UTC) (User:Chuck on Nomicapolis)


 * This is solved with the just issued version 0.6 of Extension:StackFunctions RV1971 21:43, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Dear RV1971
regarding to an university project to implement a mediawiki instance for educational purpose at the Albstadt-Sigmaringen University, Albstadt-Ebingen, Germany, we are interessted to user your Extension Toggledisplay.

This project is in line with my personal dissertation in the range of e-learning and its finally ment for Master Students of my university.

You dont have specified a license for this program.

Because I am not so familiar with licenses, I like you to ask, if we can get your permission to use it. -- muellefl 09:11, 17.06.2009


 * Feel free to use my extension. However, I consider this extension obsolete because basically the same result can be obtained with the features described in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NavFrame, without need to install an extension. RV1971 08:30, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

New version will come
I'm sorry much time has passed since I published the last version of my extension. I have done quite some development in the meatime which also addresses some of the questions raised in the discussion so far. I hope I'll have some time in the next months to write the necessary documentation so that I can publish my current version. RV1971 07:38, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Wow, I can't wait. Thanks for the update.  If you need any help writing documentation and have notes or some preliminary material I would be more than willing to help, my degree is pretty much centered around documentation. --Tazuras 19:21, 26 June 2009 (UTC), aka: 97.83.122.63

toggledisplay question
I wrote it up here, but in short, template variables are lost when they lie within

...

....

Is that something that can be overcome with some flag I'm not aware of, or some other invocation directive?

Thanks. - [mailto:trueskew@gmail.com skew]

ToggleDisplay question 2
I am using mediawiki locally in my desktop and recently I've installed ToggleDisplay extension by following instructions in Extension:ToggleDisplay, but when I use it as

This will be shown.

any texts, even toggle links are not shown. The block of toggledisplay disappeared from the page. I've spent several days to solve this problem, but no luck so far. Do you have any idea? I am using:

MediaWiki : 1.16.0 PHP : 5.3.3 mysql : 5.1.48 install extensions/ToggleDisplay/ToggleDisplay.php added require_once( "extensions/ToggleDisplay/ToggleDisplay.php" ); in LocalSettings.php

 * Having the same issue on my wiki.
 * Versions are:
 * MediaWiki 1.16.0
 * PHP      5.3.3-pl1-gentoo (apache2handler)
 * MySQL    5.0.90-log
 * Any ideas why this is happening?
