Great Extension! .. But where is "Usergroups"? (plural)
[edit]There is a "userrights" function which returns all of rights of a given user, and there is a "usergroup" function that returns the highest group a user belongs to, but why isn't there a "usergroups" function that works like "userrights" and returns all of the groups that a user belongs to? ... Would that be hard to add? .. Is there a reason not to?.
Thank you!

- I believe this would indeed be a convenient parserfunction. Currently I do checks like e.g.
{{#ifgroup: coordinator |[[Is in user group::Coordinator| ]] | |{{FULLPAGENAME}} }}per existing user group on each user's page to get that information.

- I would if I could but I am a novice programmer if at all, basically I am not. Pinging @Skizzerz: who is the creator of this extension. [[kgh]] (talk) 08:25, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- See How to become a MediaWiki hacker for details on how to set up a local MediaWiki install. Then you need to download the extension from git (using the developer clone via SSH), make your changes, and then submit them to gerrit using the
git reviewcommand. See here for a tutorial on how to set up git and git-review on your machine. - Once submitted, I'll perform a code review and will either let you know of any issues, or I will merge in the change. Skizzerz 18:39, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
extension.json is missing from the download page on here
[edit]It causes issues when I use update.php.
I had to give a visit to Github in order to get the missing file. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 22:11, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
Dysfonction with MediaWiki version 1.42
[edit]The use of this extension with Mediawiki version 1.42 causes dysfunction.
I found the 2 errors which are the same 2.
You must modify in the "extrightfunctions.php" file, line 140 and 170.
Initially these lines are:
-> Getsereffectivegroups ($ user, usergroupManager :: Read_normal,! $ wgrightfunctionsallowcaching);
And it must be replaced by:
-> Getsereffectivegroups ($ User, Idbaccessobject :: Read_normal,! $ wgrightfunctionsallowcaching);
Errors have disappeared and the extension works normally again.
There may be another solution, but I don't know Mediawiki correctly. Doma2c (talk) 07:00, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
