So is this going anywhere?

Looks like a plan! But last edited a year ago. David Gerard (talk) 23:25, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

It is now - yes. :) Varnent (talk)^(COI) 17:02, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

I have the same issue with mediawiki 1.35.5 and chameleon skin

I also added $wgWikiShareFollow['sidebar'] = false;

but it made no change Idris, the wise (talk) 05:09, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

[SOLVED]:

add this to LocalSettings.php:

$wgWikiShare['follow'] = false; Idris, the wise (talk) 05:25, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

"Print friendly" links?

Has anyone figured out how to integrate a service to create a print friendly or PDF version using this extension?

I've found https://www.printfriendly.com/, but I'd love to find a way to do this without a monthly sub. Deejayk (talk) 16:33, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Google Translate link

In case it's useful to anyone else, here are the settings I used to integrate Google Translate with my site:

$wgWikiShareServices['GoogleTranslate']['service'] = 'Google Translate';

$wgWikiShareServices['GoogleTranslate']['url'] = 'https://YOUR-GOOGLE-TRANSLATE-SUBDOMAIN.translate.goog/index.php?title=%title%&_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=es&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=nui';

$wgWikiShareServices['GoogleTranslate']['icon'] = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/db/Google_Translate_Icon.png';

You'll need to replace YOUR-GOOGLE-TRANSLATE-SUBDOMAIN with the correct value for your site which should be your site's main URL with any dots (.) replaced with hyphens (-). You can also go to Google Translate (https://translate.google.com/) and post a URL in the translation box, then click the link that is provided in the selected language. That URL will have the subdomain string you'll need. Deejayk (talk) 16:46, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Code to create an email link

Here's the code I've come up with to add an email link:

$wgWikiShareServices['email']['service'] = 'Email';

$wgWikiShareServices['email']['url'] = 'mailto:?Subject=%title%&body=Check%20out%20what%20I%20found%20on%20%wiki%%21%0A%0A%title%:%0A%url%';

$wgWikiShareServices['email']['icon'] = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b1/Email_Shiny_Icon.svg';

These lines need to be added to your LocalSettings.php file. Deejayk (talk) 17:08, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Reddit link

$wgWikiShareServices['Reddit']['service'] = 'Reddit';

$wgWikiShareServices['Reddit']['url'] = 'http://reddit.com/submit?url=%url%&title=%title%+-+%wiki%';

$wgWikiShareServices['Reddit']['icon'] = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Snoo.svg'; Deejayk (talk) 18:13, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Telegram Link

$wgWikiShareServices['Telegram']['service'] = 'Telegram';

$wgWikiShareServices['Telegram']['url'] = 'https://t.me/share/submit?url=%url%%0A&text=%0A%title%+-+%wiki%';

$wgWikiShareServices['Telegram']['icon'] = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/Telegram_logo.svg'; Idris, the wise (talk) 05:29, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Has anyone figured out how to integrate the service Sina Weibo using this extension?

Incompatibility

This extention use hook SkinBuildSidebar to inject HTML into the sidebar.

"As of MediaWiki 1.39, injecting HTML is no longer supported with this hook. If you are looking to inject HTML, such as to put an ad in the sidebar, you must use Manual:Hooks/SkinAfterPortlet or similar."

The extension is therefore partially incompatible with REL1_39+ and must be rewritten to support actual versions of mediawiki. WikiForMen (talk) 15:24, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
