Is there any plan to support a composer based installation? Background: Validator 1.0 is needed by the new Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) release 1.9, which needs some additional libraries that are installed by using composer. So, a parallel installation with Validator 0.5.1 to be used for SideBarMenu is impossible.
Topic on Extension talk:SideBarMenu
I don't have the spare time to do this myself right now, but you are welcome to implement it yourself.
Well, since the actual SideBarMenu master (0.2) supports Validator 1.0, SideBarMenu still works even after SMW 1.9 has been installed via composer.
Composer has been implemented. https://packagist.org/packages/mediawiki/side-bar-menu
Great, thanks. I haven't tested it so far. If I have some time I will try to install it via composer.
In the root folder (next to the index.php), do:
wget http://getcomposer.org/composer.phar
php composer.phar require mediawiki/side-bar-menu @dev
I've just installed MediaWiki and I'm trying to use this extension - I've installed using the above command but I'm thinking I've done something wrong as using the example from the extensions wiki page all I see in the actual Sidebar is :
FIRE TRUCK]]
but in the Mediawiki:Sidebar page I see the correct layout.
This behavior doesn't change whether I have require_once "$IP/extensions/SideBarMenu/SideBarMenu.php" in my LocalSettings.php or not.
Anyone got any ideas of where I can start looking ?
I think, the goal of this extension is a table of contents inside an article. I don't know if it is possible to have it inside the Mediawiki:Sidebar.
Ah ok ... though the description of this is then somewhat misleading :)
