Third-party extension question, user can look in the extension package for information.

Hello,

I'm using the Collection extension for years on my old wiki installation www.psych-med.de/wiki (version 1.17.0) and it's still working fine.

Recently, I updated my other wiki www.phys-med.de/wiki to version 1.32.0 and tried to install the new Collection extension, but Download as PDF doesn't work anymore. It links to Reading/Web/PDF Functionality where the last entry is from July 15 2019.

Does anybody know yout that extension? Why does the old version still work and the new one not? How can I fix that or how could I find our who knows about that?

Thank you,

Daniel

idk much about it. I think it might want Proton to be setup.

Thank for your hint, but I don't think that's linked to ths extension.

The extension site describes the installation of an OCG service https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/OCG#Installing_a_development_instance, but I don#t want to use this. The other description https://mwlib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/collection.html#installation-and-configuration-of-the-collection-extension says that after installation "you’re now ready to go." I don't want to use an own render server, and I see for my old installation that's still working without any of that extras.

Perhaps someone here uses this extension and could give me any hint?

Also, I couldn't find out how to contact the authors of the collection extension, perhaps anyone can help me with that?

Thanks

Daniel

proton is a replacement for OCG, which i dont think is used anymore

Again, I'm using an older version of this extension on another site and never installed OCG or something like that - just the extension, and it works.

Where can I find some contact information of the authors of this extension to get an answer?

Thanks

Daniel

just to be clear, the authors of the extension are under no obligation to provide help or support, may not be working on it anymore, etc.

Generally you can use git log or got blame to determine who wrote a particular part of an extension.

That is clear, I'm just surprised that there's no author information on the extension site, like it is - for example - for wordpress plugins. For open source software, I am used to find these informations quite easy so far. That's no critic, just irritation.

But thanks for the hint to look in the git log., I'll do that.
