Popups not for user pages?

The Popups extension works for the Main Page link, but not when I link to a User Page on the main page. Doesn't it work for User page? I thought it would be excellent for players to see they've got the correct user/character link.

If it is supposed to work, can I somehow get it to work? I've disabled the experiment and I'm not running BetaFeatures

By default the extension uses the `wgContentNamespaces` config variable to decide what to show a card for. Is the user page included in that variable in the case of your wiki? Prtksxna (talk) 10:14, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Few bugs

1) I click on the link (the window pops up), I open the link in a new tab. I switch back to the previous tab, the link is still selected, and the window pops up again.

2) If a page has a title at the beginning (there is no text before it), then only three points (...) are written in the pop-up window

3) It is not clear how to preview images from the page. I somehow do not have many, although there are pictures on the page. Aka sektor (talk) 10:13, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

how to enable popups in default

when i just install popups, guest will show the popups but log-ined user wont show

when i add 「

wfLoadExtension( 'BetaFeatures' );

$wgPopupsBetaFeature = true;

」

log-ined user need to enable the popups by them.

and guest wont show popups.

is it possible to make it enable for guest and log-ined user in default. Zeteticl (talk) 12:07, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Looking at the configuration options in extension.json (Thanks @Tgr (WMF) it looks like you'll want to turn off the Beta feature settings (as it won't be a beta feature anymore! Then enable it in preferences and as default (I think I have these settings correct).

$wgPopupsBetaFeature = false;

$wgPopupsHideOptInOnPreferencesPage = true;

$wgPopupsOptInDefaultState = 1;

There's a colon ":" after the "false" setting for "$wgPopusBetaFeature. Should be a semi-colon ";" 24.248.254.194 (talk) 22:42, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Fixed! :) CKoerner (WMF) (talk) 16:58, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Section Link Display

Is it possible to display a specific section, I'd like to have a link like: Mypage#Plants and display the text just under that heading/section.

Or may be there is a workaround for this.

Thank you!!

That feature-request is tracked at phab:T102280. Currently there is not a workaround. Thanks for the question/feedback. :) Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 20:00, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Will popups work within a wiki-family/farm?

Wiki-1 is a dictionary and Wiki-2 is a collection of government documents in plain text. Both Wiki-1 and Wiki-2 run on a single version of MediaWiki, but use different databases (traditional wiki-family installation).

Will the popups extension work on Wiki-2 against lookup on Wiki-1?

(the wiki-family setup is a thought scenario which I consider)

I don't see why not. As long as the the dependencies are installed and wikis API endpoints are accessible to one another I believe it will work. Popups relies on Extension:TextExtacts, which provides an API to query the preview text. @Jdlrobson, can you please confirm? CKoerner (WMF) (talk) 15:46, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
