What can this extension do?Edit
This is a quick extension to allow changes to personal_urls. I used this to modify the login link to point to the special page. Other personal_urls can be modifed quickly with this extension.
UsageEdit
Install and edit or append to the extension what you need to change
InstallationEdit
To install this extension, add the following to LocalSettings.php:
require_once("$IP/extensions/changepersonal.php");
CodeEdit
<?
/*
* Change Personal for changing the personal urls
* @author Thomas Lorentsen
* @copyright © 2007 by Thomas Lorentsen
* @licence GNU General Public Licence 3.0 or later
*/
if( !defined( 'MEDIAWIKI' ) ) {
echo( "This file is an extension to the MediaWiki software and cannot be used standalone.\n" );
die();
}
$wgExtensionCredits['parserhook'][] = array(
'name' => 'Change Personal',
'author' => 'Thomas Lorentsen',
'url' => 'https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ChangePersonal',
'description' => "Changes the personal urls such as the login link"
);
function changePersonal(&$personal_urls, &$wgTitle) {
# This points the login link at the top right to the special page
$personal_urls['login']['href'] = './Special:Userlogin?returnto=' . $wgTitle->mUrlform;
$personal_urls['anonlogin']['href'] = './Special:Userlogin?returnto=' . $wgTitle->mUrlform;
# Append to this as needed
return true;
}
$wgHooks['PersonalUrls'][] = 'changePersonal';
ProblemsEdit
When viewing special pages, this can cause the redirection to be wrong. It has been found that using a hardcoded url works.
A better solution is needed!
