Avatars
Is this possible to show user avatars in their signatures? or show avatars of a certain username in a wiki page? Vietbio 12:49, 8 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm interested in the answer to this as well. Is there, or could there be a template or the like to insert a user's avatar? - Ivolucien 02:40, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * To put it simply: no. However, you can write a parser hook that uses the wAvatar class and shows the user's avatar, e.g. or something. See Manual:Tag extensions for more info. -- Sayuri 12:11, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Code Contributions
Is there a way to contribute to the coding effort? I'd appreciate the opportunity to help out with the project, in particular to help generalize and modularize it. I'll be doing serious work on the extension for my project; if I can't submit changes, I'll either have to branch from your ongoing efforts or spending extra time merging my changes with yours, with all the pain and bug potential implied. Is there any practical way to get svn commit access, and/or who can I send proposed patches to? Thank you kindly. - Ivolucien 02:49, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * You can request commit access by sending an email to Brion with your public SSH key attached and the reason why you're requesting it. Please be aware that I'll be doing the occasional code merge from Wikia codebase every now and then &mdash; hopefully I'll be able to release SocialProfile version 1.2. as soon as possible. But it'd be very nice to have your patches applied. :-) -- Sayuri 12:11, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Second option to contribute is by providing patches to . Cheers! Siebrand 05:58, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you both, I'll take a look at those options and make a decision when I get to the next milestone that includes work on SocialProfile. (within a few weeks)
 * Also, is there a forum or list where folks coordinate what they're working on? I'd hate to step on anyone's toes. - Ivolucien 17:26, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Regarding SocialProfile work? No, not really, except this talk page. I'm currently working on SocialProfile v. 1.2 that will include SystemGifts and UserGifts integration from Wikia codebase. -- Sayuri 17:37, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Execute install from the command line?

I'm trying to install the | Social Profile extension at my mediawiki, but I've run into a couple of issues. It says I have to run the install.php file from the command line but I have no idea what that means. What command line? Where do I do this at? Shouldn't I just be able to navigate to the maintenance directory and click the install file from there? Also, I'm getting an error message:

Notice: Undefined variable: output in /home/xxxxx/public_html/xxxx/extensions/SocialProfile/UserProfile/UserProfilePage.php on line 601

Notice: Undefined variable: output in /home/xxxxx/public_html/xxxx/extensions/SocialProfile/UserProfile/UserProfilePage.php on line 601

Why do I need to connect through an SSH? I can access everything on my domain. Is there some place to get the SQL query so I can just do it manually through phpMyAdmin? I looked at the file and it's not written in a way I'm use to seeing.

 * I've answered the first half of your questions here.


 * You need to connect through SSH because that's simply how maintenance scripts, such as SocialProfile's installer script, work.


 * You can get the required SQL files from SVN, they're stored there like all other SocialProfile's files. See extensions/SocialProfile/UserBoard/user_board.sql, extensions/SocialProfile/UserProfile/user_profile.sql, extensions/SocialProfile/UserRelationship/user_relationship.sql and extensions/SocialProfile/UserStats/user_stats.sql. -- Sayuri 18:22, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for all your help. I'm afraid I won't be using this extension. It's much easier to just copy/paste the SQL queries for installations into my phpMyAdmin than it is to try to connect using something called PuTTY which I've never used before. But this is a really nice extension and if it were easier to run the install.php file, I'd definitely be using it. ^_^
