User talk:Barre/MediaWiki/Extensions/kw bread crumbs

Hey thanks Sebastien for you help with the trail, however your positioning description was a little confusing.

So I have saved the file kwBreadCrumbs.php into extensions folder and and entered include("extensions/kwBreadCrumbs.php"); into LocalSettings.php.

I want the trail to run along the top of the page like in your Wiki system. I have set $on_top_hack = 1; What does "use the tag anywhere in the page " mean?

Thanks in advance, really neat little idea. Also just in case you were wondering my wiki will not be going public. Its just a research project for university.

Ali.

It seems this extension was written in mind for the 1.3 series. I got the "Anywhere in the layout" part working for the 1.4 series. You need to add:

<div><?php echo kwBreadCrumbsTAL() ?></div>

into: <wikibasedir>/skins/MonoBook.php

This of course will limit this option to monobook, but i'm sure you could add it to your other skins as well.

Has anyone gotten this to work for mediawiki 1.4rc1? I've spent some time to try to get this working but I keep getting "database error" and "internal error". there's no place on the net that talks about this, i've scoured every last webpage for a month already :(

Then I noticed that the version of this wiki:

   MediaWiki (http://wikipedia.sf.net/): 1.3.0beta4 
   PHP (http://www.php.net/): 4.3.8-9 (apache) 
   MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/): 4.0.20-log

while mine is:

   MediaWiki (http://wikipedia.sf.net/): 1.4rc1 
   PHP (http://www.php.net/): 4.3.9 (apache2handler) 
   MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/): 3.23.58

this has got to be the reason why it isnt working for me...
