Extension talk:UserSnoop

Suggestion
Saw your quick fix for the UserPageViewTracker and it worked for UserSnoop too (Super thanks!!). Do you think you could make it so that you can either search the user list (ajax would be great) or pick users from a drop down list?

Since the UserSnoop does what the UserPageTracker does, are you going to just continue one of them and improve it?

Also you might want to take a look at http://firestats.cc/ your plugin would be great if you could integrate that into a full blown statistics system.

 * Thanks! I am thinking about continuing the UserSnoop extension and add more functionality to it going forward. I have considered extending it all the way to a full wiki stats extension but, haven't really had the time to dedicate to it. My paying job takes precedence :) Perhaps over the holidays. --Kimon 18:14, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

SQL
I get following error when trying to run UserPageHits.sql (in phpMyAdmin).

for the right syntax to use near 'VIEW `user_page_hits` AS SELECT `u`.`user_name` AS `user_name`, `u`.`' at line 1
 * 1) 1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version

 * Hmmmm.... I just copy & pasted this into my test DB and it worked fine. I'm running on MySQL 5.0.41-community. What version are you running? (Execute "select @@version"). --Kimon 20:26, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Mediawiki 1.7.1? (Debian stable version)
Can you make this extension work with Mediawiki 1.7.1? That's the Mediawiki version that Debian Etch uses.

I get:

Warning: require_once(/var/lib/mediawiki1.7/includes/Pager.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/lib/mediawiki1.7/extensions/usersnoop/UserSnoop.php on line 489

The file Pager.php does not seem to exist in Mediawiki version 1.7.1.

 * Pager.php is a required file for this extension. I don't know when this was introduced to MediaWiki (I'll have to do some research) but, without it, you won't get the pagination of the results. Would it be possible to upgrade to a newer version? --Kimon 01:20, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I need to stay with 1.7.1 for security reasons. My policy is to stay with whatever version is included in the current Debian stable distribution. That way I get a very secure installation with the obvious drawback of not getting the latest features. Is there a possibility for a workaround? I could live with less functionality of your extension if needed. Btw: I'm the same guy commenting on your BreadCrumbs extension implementation. Todu 14:23, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I know :) - sent you an email in response.
 * I'll try to do some research into what is not available in 1.7.1 and what workarounds I can come up with. BTW, is your wiki public? --Kimon 14:30, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
