User:Dan Nessett/Technical/Notes on Refactoring CZ: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:37, 5 May 2010

You can get svn_load_dirs.ph.in here: svn_load_dirs directory

Edit the file and (around line 26) change the following line:

< my $svn = '@SVN_BINDIR@/svn';

by replacing @SVN_BINDIR@/svn by the directory in which svn resides. For Ubuntu the line would like like:

< my $svn = '/usr/bin/svn';

Extension Name	Notes	Status
CategoryTree	The default limit on entries displayed is 200. This is controlled by $wgCategoryTreeMaxChildren	Works
CharInsert		Works
CheckUser	Requires db schema changes First execute php CheckUser/install.php After executing install.php, do full db backup Make sure error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE and display_errors = Off in php.ini	Works
Cite		Works
ConfirmAccount		Works
ConfirmEdit	Need to move setting of $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['skipcaptcha'] = false; into LocalSettings.php, since the defaults of the MW standard are not the same as the CZ modified version. Also need to set $ceAllowConfirmedEmail = true; $wgCaptchaTriggers['addurl'] = false; $wgCaptchaTriggers['createaccount'] = true; $wgCaptchaTriggers['badlogin'] = false; While the FancyCaptcha module is loaded, it is not used, since by default $wgCaptchaClass = 'SimpleCaptcha'; and LocalSettings doesn't override this default.

It appears many pages (including the Request Account page) has constables@citizendium.org hardwired in. There is no magic word available to access the $wgPasswordSender global variable or any other email address. This is something that the Citizendium extension should add (i.e., a magic word for the site's configured complaint email address).

It also appears that many Mediawiki namespace pages have http://en.citizendium.org hardwired. These should be changed to: {{SERVER}}{{SCRIPTPATH}}
