Topic on Extension talk:PdfBook/Archive 2

To developers @Nad: /@Igorabsorto:

On Miraheze, PdfBook is currently on the chopping block as the MW 1.38 era closes in (linked statement by Universal Omega (talk · contribs)). Not much to add here, except my experimentation last month spat out a local error message that went:

Cannot display PDF (Title.pdf is of invalid format)

...and forced me to remove the extension from my wiki's lineup. (Details at Meta's Community noticeboard.)

A real shame, as something like it would sure come in handy for my future books. Let's hope it actually gets fixed soon enough....

P.S. To @Bawolff: Any further assistance you might provide?

Those are some scary looking regexes...

Nothing looks particularly incompatible at a glance, except probably $wgParser should be replaced with the equivalent MediaWiki\MediaWikiServices::getInstance()->getParser().

I dont really care about this extension so i probably wouldn't fix it myself, but if you want help fixing it i would be willing to offer advice.

This extension works with php 7.4.30 but fails with php 8.0. Is it still being maintained?
