[Wikitech-l] Caveats with v1.4

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Moin, i just updated an 1.3.x installation to v1.4 and run into a couple issues: * my <graph> extension (see http://bloodgate.com/perl/graph/) stopped working. It turns out that I had the "include(..)" line at the top of Localsettings, but for v1.4 some of the settings (defaulst?) are nec. to come _before_ including the extension. That took a while to figure out because there were no errors/warnings... * I did add an extra menu point in the toolbox in "templates/xhtml_skin.php" (or whatever it was called). It turns out now that the menu is generated in Monobook so I had to hack it in there (which also probably means my extra menu point only shows up when the user uses Monobook :/ * I had some additional buttons on the edit form, these were gone and I had to re-add them, but the file location changed, they are now in "includes/EditPage.php" (I think) instead of "includes/somefile". * if you unpack v1.4 over v1.3, you have a couple unused files lying around. I haven't made an exact list, but it seems at least "templates/" and "stylesheets/images" are now no longer nec. It would have been usefull for me to have a more detailed UPGRADE file which mentions some of these issues, so maybe this info can be incorporated by someone :) Hope this is usefull for someone, Tels PS: Is somebody working on a project to make the Mediawiki interface more easily customizable, e.g. removing the logo, adding/renaming menu entries etc by editing a local settings file or even via GUI? The current way in either changing the equivalent of "Special::AllMessages" or hacking the source is not very nice and it breaks with each revision of Mediawiki again - causing me work on updates :) - -- Signed on Wed Mar 23 17:40:22 2005 with key 0x93B84C15.
