Extension:Forum extension

I wrote a small Forum extension for MediaWiki 1.4. It's still very crappy code and my first PHP code at all. It has no native language support yet, and it is written for german users.

It contains 3 Special pages:


 * Special:Forum : a list of active Threads
 * Special:Thread : a view of Postings in a Thread
 * Special:WriteArticle : writing an article

The extension uses 2 tables:


 * forum_thread : to hold the thread data
 * forum_article : to hold the articles itself

It is useable to communicate between the Wiki users in an "old" forum manner without installing a seperate application, seperate navigationbars and seperate user logins.

It is now possible to link a thread directly into a discussion page, with

number

If you want to see, visit: wiki.wagendorf.de It's a german page of course. ;-)

The sourcecode is now available at http://wiki.wagendorf.de/downloads/forum_0.1.tar.gz

The sourcecode of version 0.2 is now available at http://wiki.wagendorf.de/downloads/forum_0.2.tar.gz

Version 0.3 has an action=purge in the showthread part, so the LIMIT/OFFSET bar is working now http://wiki.wagendorf.de/downloads/forum_0.3.tar.gz
