As the subject sugests, the extenssion does not work on MW1.17.x for me. The upload box still appears, but neither uploaded files through the special page or via the provided buttons were shown.
Topic on Extension talk:FileList/Flow
I'm getting the same error with MW 1.16.5. I can upload files through the upload box but they are not shown in the page.
Perhapes you are using (your own) namespaces ? If you are using namespaces the extension crashes ... I always get a HTTP 500 error after the file was uploaded. The move/rename function should consider namespaces (and interwiki links). But in other cases it is a great extension.
Use this language specific settings in FileList.i18n.php for german language:
$FileListMessages['de'] = array( // messages 'fl_empty_list' => 'Diese Seite hat noch keine Dateianhänge.', 'fl_upload_file' => 'Datei anhängen', 'fl_upload_file_anonymously' => 'Datei anonym anhängen', 'fl_empty_file' => 'Datei wählen', 'fl_edit' => "Ändern", 'fl_delete' => "Löschen", 'fl_delete_confirm' => "Sind Sie sicher, dass Sie die Datei \'%s\' löschen wollen ?", // Table column headings 'fl_heading_name' => 'Dateiname', 'fl_heading_descr' => 'Beschreibung', 'fl_heading_user' => 'Benutzer', 'fl_heading_size' => 'Größe', 'fl_heading_datetime' => 'Datum', // credits 'fl_credits_desc' => 'Erzeugt eine dynamische Dateiliste bei Einfügen von <filelist />', );
About the supported versionsː I have never had the time to test this extension on multiple (let alone all) versions, but I can say for sure that v5 works for MW 1.22alpha.
About the namespacesː take a look at the "Namespace fix" thread (above)
About the german translationsː thank youǃ I will add them.
