Hi everybody,
I am trying to install extensions of mediawiki but I do something wrong. For example, consider CentralNotice extension. I decompress the extension into /extension/CentralNotice directory, in LocalSetting.php I add require_once( "$IP/extensions/CentralNotice/CentralNotice.php" ); and what else I have to do? In which namespace do I have to enter? How can I now it for any arbitrary extension?
When you say /extension/CentralNotice, I assume you mean /extensions/CentralNotice. (You left out "s".)
But, still, you asked "what else do I have to do" and didn't mention errors, so I assume you did that correctly.
Since you're asking about CentralNotice here, I'm also going to assume that you don't have multiple wikis. In this case, you should follow the instructions for all wikis and also for the infrastructure wiki. It sounds like you did the first, did you do the second?
There are also usage instructions. Did you follow those?
The problem is not for CentralNotice extension. This is only an example. I would like (in general) how to activate an extension after installing. How can I know which name spaces they have created? How can I access to all configuration panels they create? Could you put me an entire example of extension (no matter which) of installing and then of using in order to reproduce it and know how they works?
I have read many tutorials and I cannot never use theses extensions. I do not even know if they are installed correctly or not (in Special:Version) they appear but nothing changes.
Is there a particular extension you're having trouble with? The instructions are similar for each one, but it would help to have a specific one to know what you've tried and what didn't work.
