Add to my site : Wikiparoles.net

I try to install your extension, but it doesn't work ?

can I have support ?

Here are some thoughts:

• Did you follow the installation instructions?
• If you do not redefine $eagRules in your LocalSettings.php file, the default rule should be in effect. In other words, the extension will only work when you are creating a template that does not exist, and a template of the same name exists on Wikipedia.org.
• If you modified $eagRules in your LocalSettings.php file, all bets are off. You will have to post your changes.
• Note: Do not post or publish your entire LocalSettings.php, it contains information that makes your MediaWiki installation easy to attack.

Test on wikiparoles.net

I try your extension on my website wikiparoles.net.

I have always this message on the edit pages : Page title does not match rule

Here a part of my LocalSettings files

require_once("$IP/extensions/ExternalArticles/ExternalArticles.php");
$eagRules              = array();
$eagRules['onpreload'] = true;
$eagRules['url']       = 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=';
$eagRules['rule']      = '/^Template:.*$/';

Thank you for helping our communauty

Response

Sorry about the slow response.

• Updating to the latest source code will remove the message "Page title does not match rule." This was caused because I did not comment out the line

  define( 'EXTERNALARTICLES_DEBUG', true );
  

  as I should have. I fixed this in the latest version.
• The way this is set up, it is designed to only work with pages in the Template namespace. I made a (bad) assumption that the template namepace was Template, but this is only true for English wiki's. Follow the instructions in the newly expanded Configuration section. There are a few examples below.
• Note: the

  $eagRules
  

  lines should all appear before the

  require_once
  

  line.
• I'm thinking now that the way this is configured is a little complicated and could be made simpler.

Let me know the results. Good luck.

Template pages where the template namespace is "Modèle" configuration example

$eagRules              = array();
$eagRules['onpreload'] = true;
$eagRules['url']       = 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=';
$eagRules['rule']      = '/^Modèle:.*$/';
require_once("$IP/extensions/ExternalArticles/ExternalArticles.php");

From any page configuration example

$eagRules              = array();
$eagRules['onpreload'] = true;
$eagRules['url']       = 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=';
$eagRules['rule']      = '/^.*$/';
require_once("$IP/extensions/ExternalArticles/ExternalArticles.php");

Usage

Not clar what it does and how to use it-Bert

Unclear usage section

Your right, the section on this extensions usage is too brief. I've expanded it.
