Extension talk:MailDigest

Trouble shooting

How to use this extention ? I have followed the instructions : create the directory MailDigest with this 3 files and update my LocalSettings.php but nothing change.

Where is the special page for this mail digest ?

Where are the user configuration for mail digest ?

Working in 1.16.4 , with some modifications

Just tried this extension on Mediawiki-1.16.4, and it did nothing. I've made some changes (very minimal) to get emails to go out.

The first problem I ran into was line 24 in MailDigest.body.php, here...

       if ($wgUser->getName() != '127.0.0.1') { // adding support for user groups makes sence
               $wgOut->addHTML($wgUser->getName() . ' is not authorized to send emails');
               return;
       }

The IP "127.0.0.1" needs to be changed to whatever user account your going to use to send the digests. Or you will get the error "is not authorized to send emails"

Below is a diff of the changes I made.

The changes will add two options for this extension in "Preferences" under the Misc tab. Once the email is sent MANY PHP notices will go off in your server logs. Time permitting I will update this extension to fix things up and make it work with the latest Mediawiki release.
