=My Extension Requests= General information:
 * Version: MW 1.12
 * Site: http://MixesDB.com
 * Skin: Monobook (no other enabled)
 * Language: German, English
 * E-mail: old_school_junkie [at] hotmail.com
 * Payment: Bank transfer or paypal

Not everything here might be a "real extension", could also be a patch etc. I have no problems changing the MW core data.

If you think you could code one of these extensions, pls offer me a first guessed price.

Please don't question the usefulness of my requested features. It makes sense for my site, otherwise I wouldn't request them ;)

The requests are well thought about and the requested details should def be given be you, although other ideas solving it are welcome.

I'd even prefer if you "release" the extension you have written officially on mediawiki.org for later usage / updates etc.

Go Button for catgeories [15€]
The "Go" button on the standard search is completely useless on my wiki since all articles have long names nobody searches (never finds the exact article name). But categories play a major role but they won't be found since you'd have to type "Category:Key Word". So I'd like the Go button to work like this: Type "Key Word", hit Go will jump to "Category:Key Word" if exists, otherwise perform normal search. Shouldn't be hard to insert the "Category:" aspect into includes/SpecialSearch.php (Yes i love hacking the code directly).

Proper Ajax Rating [200€]
Extension:AjaxRatingScript is full of bugs and most people are not able to install it. Devs are only communicating on their own wiki which is horror. So pls don't tell me to suggest it there.

I'd like a rating system that is fully integrated in the wiki:
 * Option for admin to decide if only logged in users can rate or everybody (while considering only registered users is more safe against abuse)
 * Each rating section on an article page should have some link "Details" (link to different page or better as collapsible NavFrame)
 * See who else voted how (with linked users name and his ratings)
 * Update your vote: see your own rating (simply bold in above "users who rated" list) and enable updating it by simply rating again
 * Special page for
 * "Best rated articles" listing the best 50 | 100 | 250 | 500 rated articles of the wiki
 * Unrated articles
 * Integration on user profile: A user should be able to add some code on his profile page so "My favourites" are displayed: (5 | 10 | 25 | 50) best rated atricles by User...
 * Option for admin to display the rating behind article links on categories. Combined with that: Option to sort articles in a category by rating
 * Some smart way to delete all votes by abusers (e.g. users who obviously rate everything worst or best to manipulate results)

Advanced Search [in progress]
The search interface consists of different sections, all can be combined in a single search action.

The headings should be customizable with standard wiki markup on system messages pages (I may want to include help notes later).

Title, Page content:

It should be possible to wildcards, maybe even per default (without *). Extension:Wildcard search is standard in MW 1.12. The 3 fields are connected with AND.

Include: normal search

Exclude: searches with NOT

Categories:

Based on the Extension:Multi-Category Search. You can see the standard extension here. But I'd need a more functional version of this.

AND and OR relate to the first field.

Each field can only contain one category name which has to be correctly entered (spelling). Would be nice if capitalizaion wouldn't matter. (searching "caps" find category "CaPs") No truncation possible I guess, if yes, the better it is :)

Tracklists:

Those match the 3 categories you can see in the sidebar of MixesDB. Every article page is in one of these, actually only in one of these.

Example: "complete" is ticked - the search will only include articles in Category:Tracklist_complete to the other search criteria. If two are ticked it's OR which is the same as excluding the unticked one (include pages in one of those ticked).

Could also be done using the Categories Search but this way it's way more comfortable.

Results: The search results should be listed below the search interface, keeping all settings and field entries from the search action (for easy correction).

Namespaces:

I really love this view instead of the chaos list in one row as per default. If you'd realize that, I'd be more than happy. The extension should enable setting which namespaces are listed. By default are those namsepaces as set in "My Preferences" (like standard MW search).

Example Search
If you do this, you may wanna try my request "Search this category" as well since it may be easy to implent when you already work with the Multi-Category Search.

I would prefer if the dev would release it as beta extension here on mediawiki.org (in a more standard version, e.g. without "Tracklist:" etc.)

Search this category [20€]
Had the idea when testing Extension:Multi-Category Search. A simple search box will be displayed on top the category page. It searches like the standard search (title and content), but it only considers articles in the according category. Shouldn't be hard if searching a namespace is possible via Extension:Inputbox.

There are two options:
 * per default on all category pages (but where to place it on the page?)
 * via parser tag to be added individually (requires effort adding, looks useless on small categories)

Can't decide which I'd prefer, at least it should appear in the upper left corner of the category page using divs and float:left

It should look like this (without Search button): clicking into it will remove the text (as the grey font already lets you assume), hitting return will start the search action. Results should be displayed like the standard search cos of Title / Page results.

File List with MIME type detection
The current File list simply lists all uploaded files. No funtions except items number limitations. As soon as you have lots of different file types it's pretty unhandy. I'd like to be able to display a list of all files per MIME type detection (AUDIO, VIDEO, MULTIMEDIA, etc.). A table like now, but additionally it should link the page(s) on which the file is used (as used on the file description page). For space reasons those could be linked in the "Name" column below the name, each article a new row. Selecting the MIME type from the drop-down menue should be possible as on Special:Log and the same for linking a pre-selected type, e.g. Special:Log/upload.

If the MIME type detection should be a crappy idea it would also work this way: Define the types by file extensions, e.g. for displaying Audio: Find all *.mp3, *.wav, *.ogg etc.
 * ok i could work on Special:MIMEsearch but it doesn't solve the problem completely. What i want is the MIMEsearch box on the Upload Log.

Private Messages system
Could be based on Extension:MediaWiki Bulletin Board. But I hate this extension cos the devs don't seem to care much about it. The PM system should use the following features additionally to what MWBB already features:
 * Load edit toolbar like on a normal edit page, including preview
 * Inbox and Outbox (for sent messages)
 * On a reply: load old message(s) like forum quotes, leave space on top of the edit field for the new reply (to force "latest on top" order)
 * Option to delete selected messages in Inbox and Outbox
