Check usage and version matrix.

The WikiUserInfo extension adds parser functions that allows to show info and options of wiki user specified by name.

This extension was created with following usages in mind:

• Template for local wiki user that shows all necessary info about - user name, real name, email, link to entry in corporate address book.
• Template for category of pages supported by some user.
• Template that allows to link to user page, but adds user contribution (number of edits) in superscript.

Installation

• Copy the code into a file called "WikiUserInfo.php" and place the file(s) in a directory called WikiUserInfo in your extensions/ folder.

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

  require_once "$IP/extensions/WikiUserInfo/WikiUserInfo.php";
  // To add new option to silently allowed (without 'showuseroption' right), use e.g. this:
  $wgWikiUserInfoSafeOptions[] = 'math';
  // To clear all allowed options, uncomment this:
  # $wgWikiUserInfoSafeOptions=array();
  // Setup user rights:
  # $wgGroupPermissions['*']['showuseremail'] = true;
  # $wgGroupPermissions['*']['showuseroption'] = true;
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Documentation

Rationale

There are standard function {{gender:..}}) that allow access to one of user options. This extension adds functions to access another options for completeness.

Declared functions

All of these functions get's user name as their first argument.

{{#realname:username}}

Displays 'Real name:' field from user properties.

{{#nickname:username}}

Displays 'New signature:' field from user properties.

{{#userregistration:username}}

Displays 'Registration time:' field from user properties.

{{#useredits:username}}

Displays 'Number of edits:' field from user properties.

{{#usergroups:username}}

Displays 'Member of:' field from user properties.

Dangerous functions

{{#email:username}}

Displays 'Email:' field from user properties.
This may be dangerous, so this function is protected by special &'showuseremail' right.

{{#useroption:username|option}}

Displays selected field from user options.
This may be dangerous, so this function is protected by special &'showuseroption' right, excluding options mentioned in $wgWikiUserInfoSafeOptions array, which defaults to 'date', 'gender', 'language', 'nickname', 'skin' and 'timecorrection'.
