It will not work ok when the MW version is 1.8.4
i have already fix this problems!I am --Wanglong 08:23, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

if I add the, the extension works ok,

but when I type the url:

http://localhost/allwiki/index.php/Special:Contributors

the system tell me: Fatal error: Call to undefined method IncludableSpecialPage::gettitlefor in E:\wamp\www\allwiki\extensions\Contributors\Contributors.page.php on line 206

because MW1.8.4 don`t have the method gettitlefor under SpecialPage.php, so i copy the method from the vesion of 1.10.0 to current version of my Mediawki 1.8.4 to the class SpecialPage: static function getTitleFor( $name, $subpage = false ) { $name = self::getLocalNameFor( $name, $subpage ); if ( $name ) { return Title::makeTitle( NS_SPECIAL, $name ); } else { throw new MWException( "Invalid special page name \"$name\"" ); }	}		/**	 * Get the local name for a specified canonical name */	static function getLocalNameFor( $name, $subpage = false ) { global $wgContLang; //		$aliases = $wgContLang->getSpecialPageAliases;// i get off this by pea if ( isset( $aliases[$name][0] ) ) { $name = $aliases[$name][0]; }		if ( $subpage !== false && !is_null( $subpage ) ) { $name = "$name/$subpage"; }		return $name; }

and then the extension can work!i am so happy! hehe !--Wanglong 08:23, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Embedding
When I did a test page for embedding in a page, it was one row and pretty much looks awful. :( --PurplePopple 14:59, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Problem with custom namespaces
I've set up the contributors extension on my site and it works fine. This is a very useful extension.

However, I've got a problem with custom namespaces. Almost all articles on my wiki appear in custom namespaces and I would like to use the "main contributor" link in the toolbox to see the main contributors for these articles.

The problem is that the "main contributors" link appears in the toolbox on articles in the (Main) namespace, but not in the toolboxes in the custom namespaces.

I'm using MW version 1.9.1 with the monobook template.

I tried to set up a link to the special page using MediaWiki:sidebar, but I couldn't get this to work.

For some reason, the contributor extension is placing the "main contributors" link in the tool box only in the (Main) namespace.

Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Thanks..

How to add Contributors list on each article page?
I have installed this extension on my media wiki installation. It is working fine enough.

Is there anyway to tweak it so that it will shown on each article?

some tweaks to this extension
I've posted a version of this extension with some customizations (each name links to user homepage, option to show real name, more flexible layout): http://htyp.org/Contributors_extension

I have no idea what the process is for properly integrating these changes with the official release (assuming they're an improvement), so I'll leave it for someone else to do or else point me at a how-to... Thanks.

Doesn't work out of the box with PostgreSQL
Postgres will (correctly) complain that you neeed to group by rev_user as well as rev_user_text for the query to really make sense. To fix find the line that looks like:

'GROUP BY' => 'rev_user_text',

and change it to:

'GROUP BY' => 'rev_user_text, rev_user',

Mediawiki 1.15 and Contributors
Ok, so after some playing and tinkering, pushing and pulling, I finally got contributors working for my installation. For some reason it chokes on Line 50 of Contributors.page.php (Undefined call...)

Finally, after some thinking, I got it working by using the REL_1_14 branch. Here's my pertinent excerpts from Special:Version: MediaWiki 	1.15.1 PHP 	5.2.4-2ubuntu5.6 (apache2handler) MySQL 	5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.4

Call to a member function listToText on a non-object
when i use the  , the page turns out these warnings "Fatal error: Call to a member function listToText on a non-object in D:\Program Files\wamp\www\mediawiki\extensions\Contributors\Contributors.page.php on line 52"

i changed the codes "global $wgContLang" into "global $wgContLang" and "$output =$wgContentLang->listToText( $names) ; " into " $output =$wgContLang->listToText( $names) ; "

then solved the problem.

 * it solved the problem for me too in v.1.16. 75.81.147.30


 * Yeah, just replace the 3 occurrences of $wgContentLang with $wgContLang and it will work - also in MW 1.19. --Stefahn (talk) 22:44, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Contributors vs ContributionCredits
Can anyone explain the difference between these two extensions?

We are trying to something very simple (like the first line on this page: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/Widgets/vtkDistanceWidget )

that simply shows (without users having to go specifically looking for the information) which people have been involved with the creation and maintenance of the page.

Thanks,

David

Unique edits
Suppose I edit a wiki article in the following way:

Select a paragraph of text. Copy text to clipboard. Delete paragraph. Save article. Edit article again and paste the previously-copied text back into the exact same place it was before. No other changes are made. Save article.

Would I be listed as a contributor?

Not working in mediawiki version 1.16
I have just installed the Contributors extension and edited my LocalSettings.php file as required. I can view the special page Special:Contributors with no problem and it is functioning well. However, the "main contributors" link in the toolbox is not appearing.

Also, when I add or  to a page I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function listToText on a non-object in /home/physiocom/public_html/extensions/Contributors/Contributors.page.php on line 50

Would appreciate some help! --86.157.33.118 12:39, 10 May 2011 (UTC)


 * YES, me either, pls. Thx! Boris 09:11, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Same here! (ver 1.16.5) Jonathan3 21:57, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Same here on MediaWiki v. 1.17.0
 * Please read point 9 : Call to a member function listToText on a non-object :-) Works then fine on 1.18.0 --Jhf2442 13:40, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Download and Git links broken
As of July 2012, all the download-related (download snapshot, git repository, ...) are broken. I guess the extension is no longer maintained (?).
