Topic on Project:Support desk/Flow

Hi all,

I am using MediaWiki version 1.20.5 and I need to enable the confirm account extension, so i add the following 3 lines in the file "LocalSettings.php":

require_once ("extensions/ConfirmAccount/SpecialConfirmAccount.php");
$wgAccountRequestMinWords = 0;
$wgConfirmAccountContact = 'aidan.stigley1@xyz.com';

Now when i request to create a new user . . . I got this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wfOpenElement() in /data/apache/htdocs/mtiwiki/w/extensions/ConfirmAccount/RequestAccount_body.php on line 104

Hi!

Please check that you have not installed the newest version of ConfirmAccount. Make sure that when you check the Git repository of ConfirmAccount, you download a snapshot from the branch for MediaWiki 1.20 (and not one from branch "master").

This version should then be compatible with MediaWiki 1.20.

Sorry i did not get you . . . Please tell me what to do now to solve this issue.

You must download the extension ConfirmAccount. When you view the Git repository, do not take a snapshot from the branch called "master", but one from the branch "REL1_20" like this one.

Resolved . . . Thanks but i have another issue that the tool bar of the editor (containing the buton bold, Italic, ...) did not appear. What is the reason?

ConfirmAccount does not have a toolbar with buttons. I think you are speaking about WikiEditor, right?

In that case, I guess that your configuration is somehow not correct. See Extension:WikiEditor for more information!

Yes i am speaking about wiki editor and i try to install the extension again as well as deploying the following configuration but did not work the tool bar still not available . . . I think it is an issue of the images location as i copy all the static content images to the path skins/common/images and change the path at the configuration due to the readme file i found in the image directory.

This may affect the toolbar static image files?

Hi!

I just checked the installation instructions at Extension:WikiEditor again and these were the only steps I took to get the extension running. I did not move images to another place and it works.

See Extension:ConfirmAccount#Setup and the MediaWiki version requirements. Be sure to pass the correct path to require() and verify you're using a version compatible with the version of your MediaWiki install.
