Previous page history was archived for backup purposes at Extension talk:Social Sidebar/LQT Archive 1 on 2015-07-10.

Is there any way to have it centered on the Sidebar?

Thanks in advance! /Joakim

Hooks syntax looks perfect not changed in mediawiki 1.35 but still not working maybe raw html support removed. if anyone have solutions then please give reply

Just as this extension:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Add_to_Any_Share/Save/Bookmark_Button

or this:

http://multiplethreads.blogspot.com.es/2011/07/embedding-1-google-plus-on-mediawiki.html

Any help on how to do this?

Thanks!

I would like to put it above the "Tools". Is it possible?

Another with this issue here!

This extension was exactly what I was looking for, however I tweaked it a little to fit my needs. Perhaps you can merge my changes into your code for others to use? Everything is hard coded since it's only for me so it needs to be cleaned up a little bit.

I get this after install: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/content/65/6092565/html/scientolipedia/LocalSettings.php on line 204

Is that enough to give you an idea what I need to fix? Thanks MediaWiki 1.18.0 (Semantic Bundle Version 2011-08-24.20111208-dev) PHP 5.2.17 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL 5.0.91-log

You should provide line 204 of your LocalSettings.php too. I suspect a problem with the invocation of the Semantic Bundle. Cheers

Nice extension, first of all, many thanks! Question though, is there something I can set to change the width of the Follow button or to insert a linebreak? MountWiki is just about short enough to display but my Twitter name is akerbeltzalba, which makes the last -a creep into my text body area. Any hints would be greatly appreaciated!

ERROR!

Strict Standards:  call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, non-static method SocialSideBar::FBTwitter() should not be called statically in C:\xampp\htdocs\includes\Hooks.php on line 158

Localsettings code:

 $wgFBImage = "/extensions/SocialSideBar/facebook.png";
 $wgFBLink  = "http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cole-Stuff/162794417087497";
 $wgTwitterImage = "/extensions/SocialSideBar/twitter.png";
 $wgTwitterLink  = "http://www.twitter.com/colejohnson66";

Which MediaWiki version are you using?

1.17

Updated to 0.2, now this:

Strict Standards:  call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, non-static method SocialSideBar::FBTwitter() should not be called statically in C:\xampp\htdocs\includes\Hooks.php on line 158

Localsettings.php

require_once("$IP/extensions/SocialSideBar/SocialSideBar.php");
$wgFB  = "http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cole-Stuff/162794417087497";
$wgTwitter  = "colejohnson66";

That is really strange.

I am testing all my extensions on 15.5 and have no problems, so not really sure what is causing it.

Could you try to add 'static' to the FBTwitter function (in SocialSideBar.php): So it should look like

// Class & functions
class SocialSideBar {
	static function FBTwitter( $skin, &$bar ) {
....

And let me know if this fixes it
