It is not able to download httpsLogin extension: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:HttpsLogin. Can you fix it? Thanks! Jiri
- I did somewhat deprecate the httpsLogin extension for the more powerful SecurePages extension. Since the Hook necessary for it is not yet in MediaWiki (it is already in SVN), I haven't yet documented it here, but the documentation is already available here. I did forget to update the httpsLogin extension here, I will do that in a second. Meanwhile, check the tags-directory of my SVN. -- Mati 09:34, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
Can you specify a license on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NewArticleTemplates? Thanks! --G.Hagedorn 10:41, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
New version
editI've created a new version with some edit and create links, e.g. when pages do not exists. Plus, the extension keeps working when there isan error in the MediaWiki:CustomNavBlocks page. See website. ~Luuk 11:55, 18 December 2008 (UTC).
- Wow, thats a neat Idea. Mind if I integrate this into my extension? I can of course list you as a co-author. -- Mati 14:11, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
- No problem, I would like to be co-author. Just started with mediawiki two days ago, had to upgrade an old wiki. I use dokuwiki myself. I'll register to this wiki so I can monitor this page. Any experience with a good gallery with lightbox extension? I'm still trying to find out how to incorporate large amounts of photo's. (i'm trying to imitate dokuwiki) ~Luuk. 14:38, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
- Luuk, I merged some of your changes into my extension. I didn't like everything, though:
- The functionality to use standard blocks as defined by MediaWiki:Sidebar is great
- If the page for a block does not exist, it displays an edit-link instead
- I didn't like the idea of statically having a block at the end to edit MediaWiki CustomNavBlocks, so I didn't integrate that functionality. That code is pretty shaky anyway (you reset a variable in every iteration of a loop only to set it again after the loop just before using it!)
- If a line in any of the block-pages has more than one '|', the line is silently ignored.
- Do you think thats a good mixture of improvements? You can find the update in the svn-repository, and the new version is installed in my devel wiki.

CustomNavBlocks
editHi, Can you give some documentation on how to use CustomNavBlocks? I am a newbie to wikis .. Thanks! ~vj
- Hi vj,
- The documention is on Extension:CustomNavBlocks. Is anything there unclear? If yes, feel free to post more specific questions! -- Mati 09:57, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Mati, Thanks for the link. It is now clear to me. I am looking for an extension that can generate Navigation Block content which may be different for every page. The mapping can be either in database or defined in files for all pages. Thanks again! ~vj
- Hi vj! CustomNavBlocks can't do that out of the Box (and I must say, from a user-interface point of view, it is very rarely a good idea). But it would be fairly easy to modify it for that, if you need some help/advice on Coding on it, I'd be happy to give you advice, just mail me! -- Mati 17:08, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks Mati! I do not have your email address :( ~vj
- You should be able to contact me via the mail-tab. If that doesn't work, you can find contact information on vowi.fsinf.at, where my user-page is Benutzer:Mati. -- Mati 22:15, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

DisallowAccessOnCategory
editHello, I tried to install this extension in a MediaWiki 13.1. But I got a bug, after I installed this. Does your extension actually work with that MediaWiki?
This is the bug message:
Interner Fehler
Detected bug in an extension! Hook DisallowReadOnCategory failed to return a value; should return true to continue hook processing or false to abort.
Backtrace:
- 0 C:\xampp\htdocs\mediawiki\includes\Title.php(1437): wfRunHooks()
- 1 C:\xampp\htdocs\mediawiki\includes\Wiki.php(149): Title->userCanRead('userCan', Array)

- 3 C:\xampp\htdocs\mediawiki\index.php(93): MediaWiki->initialize(Object(Title), Object(OutputPage), Object(WebRequest))

Thanks for any help
Hi! I marked this extension as obsolete since MediaWiki 1.17 where the parameter $wgSecureLogin does exactly what this extension do. I guess this extension did a great job before this became integrated into core. BTW the link to the source code is dead. ~ Seb35 [^_^] 11:26, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
Your account will be renamed
editHello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mati. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mati~mediawikiwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

CustomNavBlocks & MW 1.32
editI was successfully using CustomNavBlocks with MW 1.27.
Updated core to 1.32 and downloaded current extension version.
Received the following:
PHP Notice: Undefined property: TimelessTemplate::$translator in /home/tlgonline/public_html/extensions/CustomNavBlocks/CustomNavBlocks.php on line 31
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function translate() on null in /home/tlgonline/public_html/extensions/CustomNavBlocks/CustomNavBlocks.php:31
Any ideas on making it work with 1.32?
Thanks!
PS: switched to 1.31.1 and the extension works ...
