hi how do I get extension Echo to work on my website ive installed it and it has the link at the top of my website but just a plain link I would like the look like Wikipedia Echo

How does it not look like the Echo installed on Wikipedias? Do you have a screenshot or a link or something?

ok I will upload a photo of it not showing correctly here is the link to the image

I think you want to set $wgEchoShowFullNotificationsLink to false. (false is the default, just remove the override from your config.)

Ok so do I add it to my local settings or which file in the extension do I edit

That doesent make it show like the Wikipedia notification does

It'd help if you gave more info about your setup, such as the version of MediaWiki you are running.

I am running version 1.20.5 and website link is http://random-wikisaur.tk

Do you regularly update the extension with Git?

No I used the screenshot download should I download it through git

This is an extension under active development; you can either regularly update with the tarballs or keep a git repo in sync to keep it up-to-date. Try and see if updating helps.

Hi I have managed to get it working on my other wiki running the beta or alpha version of Mediawiki 21 it now shows better but how can I get it to when you click on the grey square next to your user name to show your notification without go onto the notification page should I update it to Mediawiki 1.22 does it work better with that one then Mediawiki 1.20 and 1.21
