Manual talk:Hooks/SkinGetPoweredBy

Be advised that this is called, but never actually used -- you need to customize $wgFooterIcons in LocalSettings.php in order to add/remove footer icons. --Gutza 21:29, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Useless

In template github.com

$validFooterIcons = $this->getFooterIcons( "icononly" );

In includes / SkinTemplate.php github.com

	function getFooterIcons( $option = null ) {
		// Generate additional footer icons
		$footericons = $this->get( 'footericons' );

github.com

		$tpl->set( 'poweredbyico', $this->getPoweredBy() );
		$tpl->set( 'disclaimer', $this->disclaimerLink() );
		$tpl->set( 'privacy', $this->privacyLink() );
		$tpl->set( 'about', $this->aboutLink() );

...

		global $wgFooterIcons;
		$tpl->set( 'footericons', $wgFooterIcons );

Part where this hook included (hardcoded lol)

	function getPoweredBy() {
		global $wgStylePath;

		$url = htmlspecialchars( "$wgStylePath/common/images/poweredby_mediawiki_88x31.png" );
		$text = '<a href="//www.mediawiki.org/"><img src="' . $url . '" height="31" width="88" alt="Powered by MediaWiki" /></a>';
		wfRunHooks( 'SkinGetPoweredBy', array( &$text, $this ) );
		return $text;
	}

Trying without success

$wgHooks['SkinGetPoweredBy'][] = 'fnSetIcons';
function fnSetIcons(&$text, $skin) {
  $text = "<b>qq</b>".$text;
  return true;
}

So this hook is doing nothing and just confuses people. --2nd 17:42, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
