Extension talk:GlobalUserGroups

What's the difference between this, Extension:SharedUserRights and Extension:GlobalUserrights? —  Waterfox ~talk~ 21:09, 23 December 2010 (UTC)


 * In the extension SharedUserRights can be processed, the global group membership through a simple special page, however, the global rights of users are not displayed in the users list. In the extension GlobalUserrights, global rights are still displayed in the users list, but the special page to change the global users group membership do not work. In GlobalUserGroups working all.

 * Are you sure that the Special:GlobalUserrights page doesn't work? The extension is used at several places, like TechEssentials. —  Waterfox ~talk~ 23:29, 23 December 2010 (UTC)


 * In my wikis (1.16.0 and 1.17alpha) does not work Special:GlobalUserrights, I will always be redirected to Special:Userrights. Do you know what is the problem? SVG 12:20, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

License
Creative Commons licenses are highly unrecommended, even by the CC organization, for software, because they don't take into account things like source code. I usually go with the MIT license, which is somewhat comparable to the CC BY. However, if you want to go copyleft to "keep it free", go with the GPL, which is comparable to the CC BY-SA and is used by MediaWiki. Cheers,  Waterfox ~talk~ 04:05, 4 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't know. Thanks for the explanation. I've changed the license for my new version 0.1.1 in GPL. Regards, SVG 14:03, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Differences
How is this different from Extension:GlobalUserrights?Jasper Deng 19:05, 3 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Jasper. There was not a big difference. I had rewritten Extension:SharedUserrights because Extension:GlobalUserrights did not work on my system. The only difference between GlobalUserrights and GlobalUserGroups was there, that global user groups can be defined. Now I programmed a complete new version without any similarity in source but a bit similarity in use. Read more about it on Extension:GlobalUserGroups and try it.

Download broken again
The extension distributor page times out when trying to download this extension.Jasper Deng 04:02, 20 December 2011 (UTC)


 * That was not me, it's Wikimedia's repository. I tried to download trunk and 1.18, both works. I've uploaded it temporarily to Wikiunity.com. You could use Subversion for checkout, too. Please write me when you have downloaded it. Greets, SVG 16:01, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

User Groups wont save on other wikis
Hi, I am trying to make a wiki farm service and i am using GlobalUserGroups for it. I am able to get the user table over (via a shared database) but i cant share the groups with GlobalUserGroups. What are the setup instructions for the other wiki?
