Extension talk:KeepYourHandsToYourself

From mediawiki.org

Hello. This looks like a pretty great extension, it's just what I need. But, if I have set$wgNamespaceAliases and changed the namespace name of "NS_USER", would it at all mess up the extension? Smaug 23:44, 30 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

SOLVED. Question answered. Smaug 20:34, 26 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

How to disable autorenaming uploaded Images to User--dataname.ext[edit]

I like the facility of having Images only editable by the user who uploaded them, but I don't need it as a standard action, since most of the uploaded images are public domain. Any way to disable autorenaming? --Gara

You could just comment out the hook: $wgHooks['UploadForm:BeforeProcessing'][] = 'prependUsernameToFilename'; —Emufarmers(T|C) 19:41, 14 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Need help[edit]

i not very understand how this extension work. After i apply this extension, nothings happen, others user still can edit the page that i created. Should i add anything in the page that i create? and anything should i change in KeepYourHandsToYourself.php? --ckc2009 15 September 2009

Works mostly[edit]

This extension works with 1.17.0 to prevent other users from editing another user's user page. But as for protecting an image, am not clear what "under certain circumstances" means. If I want this to work, I have to add the user name followed by two dashes. This isn't automatic. Is there a way to modify the code to automatically add the user name and two dashes?

Extension fails in 1.18.0+ due to removal of the $wgMessageCache Global Object[edit]

Per the man page for $wgMessageCache:

Extensions which rely on being able to add messages to this cache directly
with $wgMessageCache->addMessage() are now broken.
See the MessagesPreLoad hook for a possible alternative to this.

As I am not familiar enough with PHP to reimplement the call to $wgMessageCache using the MessagePreLoad hook in the setupForKeepYourHandstoYourself() function , I am unable to fix this myself to bring it up to speed.

However, if you otherwise control usernames and can ensure they will not have double dashes (--) in them, commenting out the contents of the setupForKeepYourHandsToYourself() function bypasses the call to $wgMessageCache and appears to allow the extension to function normally in the meantime.
