The FanBoxes extension adds a new way of creating and using userboxes, based on special pages. When installed, three new special pages will be added: Special:UserBoxes (to create new userboxes), Special:TopUserBoxes (to view most popular ones) and Special:ViewUserBoxes (to view all userboxes).
It also adds <userboxes>
and <fan>
parser hooks (TODO: document).
Both of these parser hooks disable parser cache.
FanBoxes requires the SocialProfile extension and YUI (YUI is used only for the color picker feature on Special:UserBoxes; the YUI files are loaded from Yahoo!'s servers).
Dependencies
edit- Extension:SocialProfile
- Yahoo! User Interface Library (YUI)
Database
edit- New database tables: fantag,user_fantag
Installation
edit- Download and move the extracted
FanBoxes
folder to yourextensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/FanBoxes - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'FanBoxes' );
- Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
