I was trying to configure the Wikimedia extension: BreadCrumbs2
I have it all installed, but I'm afraid that I'm having a little bit of trouble setting it up properly. I have a lot of subcategories so it's making things a little difficult.
Is anyone in here familiar with this extension and willing to take a look at what I have so far?
Thanks in advance!
No, I am not familiar with the extension. What is your wiki's URL? Does the extension show up on Special:Version?
It's damn near empty because I'm just trying to get these breadcrumbs set up: www.diyautowiki.com
To be honest, I don't know what Special:Version is. Sorry, brand new to this.
Hä? It's working, see: http://diyautowiki.com/index.php/Category:E88
This is the Special:Version page: http://diyautowiki.com/index.php/Special:Version
The extension shows up there, so it at least is installed correctly.
Then the next question is what is not working.
Btw. you should add
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
to your LocalSettings.php to stop the spammers from flodding your wiki (which is already happening).
It's close to working, however not fully. I must be messing something up with the Syntax.
It should read = DIYAutoWiki Home > Manufacturers > BMW > BMW 1 Series and 2 Series > E81 (2007 - 2012)
Instead it's reading = DIYAutoWiki Home > Manufacturers > BMW > BMW 1 Series and 2 Series >* E81 (2007 - 2012) E88
I have no clue why the asterisk and the "E88" are showing up. This has to be an error in my formatting and I can't figure it out.
Here is how I have it setup. Hopefully a fresh set of eyes can tell me where I am going wrong:

Sorry if this wasn't the best way to format this. You don't want to know how long it took me to accomplish posting this lol.
Try removing the blank lines between the items in MediaWiki:Breadcrumbs.
YOU ARE THE MAN!
It works! Thank you so much. You have no idea how much that helps me.
