Extension talk:ShowRealUsernames/Archive 1

Code doesn't seem to work for me. SRUquery throws an exception:

Detected bug in an extension! Hook SRUquery failed to return a value; should return true to continue hook processing or false to abort.

Backtrace:

12. 11 {main}

In general, this type of error message is caused by a change in MediaWiki which took place at or before version 1.14a; the easiest fix is to go to the end of whatever routine it's complaining about in the extension (in this case, SRUquery()) and add:

return true;

Very common to see this when using many old extensions on any of this year's MediaWiki versions, unfortunately. --Carlb 12:15, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

NOTE: I had this problem with MW1.15.5, I found that PHP>5.3.0 also causes this problem, even if function does return a value. You need to edit code to remove ampersands, thus:

function SRUquery( &$pager, &$query ) {

becomes

function SRUquery( $pager, $query ) {

and

function SRUrow( &$item, $row ) {

becomes

function SRUrow( $item, $row ) {

Something wrong and extension is not working

MediaWiki  	1.14.0
PHP 	5.2.9 (apache2handler)
MySQL 	5.1.33-community

How can one fix this or how to find the reason? Thanks! --Jostar 09:14, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Restricting who sees the Real Names

I only wanted 'crats to be able to see the Real Names, so I altered the SRUrow function to add a check for the user having the showrealname right, as shown below:

function SRUrow( &$item, $row ) {
	global $wgShowRealUsernamesInline, $wgUser;
	$realName = htmlspecialchars( trim( $row->user_real_name ) );
	if ( $realName == "" )
		return true;	# nothing to do
	# Only show the real name if the user had the 'showrealname' right
	if( $wgUser->isAllowed( 'showrealname' ) ) {
		$m = array();
		if(preg_match('/^(.*?<a\b[^>]*>)([^<]*)(<\/a\b[^>]*>)(.*)$/',$item,$m)) {
			if ($wgShowRealUsernamesInline)
				$item = $m[1] . wfMsg( 'sru-realname-inline', $realName ) . $m[3] . $m[4];
			else
				$item = $m[1] . $m[2] . $m[3] . wfMsg( 'sru-realname-append', $realName ) . $m[4];
		}
		return true;
	}
	else
		return true;
}

Then I added the following to my LocalSettings.php after the require_once call:

	# Prevent people seeing Real Names in ShowRealUsernames:
	$wgGroupPermissions['*']['showrealname'] = false;

	# Allow 'crats to see Real Names in ShowRealUsernames:
	$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['showrealname'] = true;

	# Show real names if you are in the showrealname group
	$wgGroupPermissions['showrealname']['showrealname'] = true;

I hope that this is useful (I know it works on MW 1.15.4) - I was tempted to change the documentation on the main Extension:ShowRealUsernames page, but I'll leave that to someone else! -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 16:45, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

well looking, works fine, should be added to the extension code --Jostar 22:58, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

This has been incoporated into version 1.2. - RV1971 (talk) 13:36, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Internationalizartion issues: description and attempting to view ShowRealUsenames.i18n.php

The main file, ShowRealUsenames.php starts with a comment and then says:

if( !defined( 'MEDIAWIKI' ) ) {
        echo "ShowRealUsernames: This is an extension to the MediaWiki package and cannot be run standalone.\n";
        die( -1 );

I think something similar should be done in the internationalization file ShowRealUsernames.i18n.php. Also, the description shown in Special:Version could be internationalized by using a descriptionmsg instead. I have written a descriptionmsg in English and one in Spanish here:

<?php

 */
 
# Not a valid entry point, skip unless MEDIAWIKI is defined
if( !defined( 'MEDIAWIKI' ) ) {
	echo "ShowRealUsernames: This is an extension to the MediaWiki package and cannot be run standalone.\n";
	die( -1 );
}
$messages = array();

$messages['en'] = array(
	'sru-realname-inline' => '$1',
	'sru-realname-append' => ' - $1',
	'sru-description' => 'Extend the Special:Listusers page to show the real name of each user.',
);

$messages['es'] = array(
	'sru-realname-inline' => '$1',
	'sru-realname-append' => ' — $1',
	'sru-description' => 'Extiende la página Especial:ListaUsuarios para mostrar el nombre real de cada usuario.',
);

$messages['no'] = array(
	'sru-realname-inline' => '$1',
	'sru-realname-append' => ' &ndash; $1',
);

$messages['nn'] = array(
	'sru-realname-inline' => '$1',
	'sru-realname-append' => ' &ndash; $1',
);

and if the description is translated in the ShowRealUsernames.i18n.php page, in the ShowRealUsernames.php file, instead of:

                'description' => 'Extend the Special:Listusers page to show the real name of each user.',

It could then be:

                'descriptionmsg' => 'sru-description',

However, I have not tested the extension with these changes. Nlemslu Phlyshi 09:49, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Tested now and it seems to work correctly, however, the á may need to be written á if the text editor attempts to use a wrong encoding, I also suggest (and have tested) replacing "Special:ListUsers" with a wikilink, in Spanish that is "Especial:ListaUsuarios". It could be translated to other languages as well. I have attempted to add a translation to Danish of the messages and one to Bokmål Norwegian of the message, I am not completely sure about the accuracy of the latter one, but I cannot find any specific word in it that looks wrong, so I add it below anyway:
