Recent Pages Extension

From Shadowfax

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a small extension which generates a dynamic list of recently editted pages.

To use copy the php below into a file called RecentPages.php and save that in your MediaWiki extensions directory. Then add a line to LocalSettings.php to include_once "extensions/RecentPages.php";. To generate the list add the recent tag into the page where you want it to appear. 

// Pull back five most recent normal pages
<recent />
 
//Pull back ten most recent pages from user namespace
<recent limit="10" namespace="user" />
 
//Pull back five most recent pages regradless of namespace
<recent namespace="all" />

As the examples show this tag takes two parameters: limit and namespace. Limit is the number of pages you want to show with limit="none" showing all pages. Namespace is the namespace you wish to address with namespace="all" pulling pages from all namespaces. If these parameters are omitted it defaults to pulling back the five most recent pages from the main namespace.

MWuser PHP Notice: Undefined variable: displayText in /extensions/RecentPages.php on line 66.... blows up on every call for recent pages, as many times as the limit parameter requests.

What do?
