Hi, in my first attempt at jumping into improving a mediawiki extension, I am failing at a very basic step.
I want to make the extension configurable and followed this advice: [ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_for_developers | https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_for_developers ] this is my extension.json I added: "config": { "ShariffServices": { "value": "["twitter","facebook","pinterest"]", "description": "configuration of available services" } }, "ConfigRegistry": { "Shariff": "GlobalVarConfig::newInstance" }, now in the baisc PHP file of the extension, I am trying use MediaWiki\MediaWikiServices; $config = MediaWikiServices::getInstance()->getConfigFactory()->makeConfig( 'Shariff' ); $services = $config->get ('Services'); but the last line leads to [XtqcaewKU0Q3UCukKmZO9AAAABM] /index.php?title=Main_Page Error from line 3061 of ../includes/parser/Parser.php: Call to a member function matchStartAndRemove() on null Backtrace: #0 ..includes/parser/Preprocessor_DOM.php(1277): Parser->braceSubstitution(array, PPFrame_DOM) #1 ../includes/parser/Parser.php(2942): PPFrame_DOM->expand(DOMElement, integer) #2 ../includes/parser/Parser.php(701): Parser->replaceVariables(string, PPFrame_DOM) #3 ../includes/parser/Parser.php(4717): Parser->preprocess(string, Title, ParserOptions) #4 ../includes/cache/MessageCache.php(1089): Parser->transformMsg(string, ParserOptions, Title) #5 ../includes/Message.php(1273): MessageCache->transform(string, boolean, LanguageEn, Title) #6 ../includes/Message.php(874): Message->transformText(string) #7 ../includes/Message.php(934): Message->toString(string) #8 ../includes/OutputPage.php(902): Message->text() #9 /../includes/OutputPage.php(949): OutputPage->setHTMLTitle(Message) #10 ../includes/OutputPage.php(2424): OutputPage->setPageTitle(string) #11 /../includes/exception/MWExceptionRenderer.php(128): OutputPage->prepareErrorPage(string) #12 ../includes/exception/MWExceptionRenderer.php(54): MWExceptionRenderer::reportHTML(ConfigException) #13 ../includes/exception/MWExceptionHandler.php(75): MWExceptionRenderer::output(ConfigException, integer) #14 ../includes/exception/MWExceptionHandler.php(149): MWExceptionHandler::report(ConfigException) #15 ../includes/MediaWiki.php(551): MWExceptionHandler::handleException(ConfigException) #16 ../index.php(42): MediaWiki->run() #17 {main} What am I doing wrong? As far is I understand it, using DefaultSettings.php is outdated, we should be using extension.json. But I can't get it to work. Can anybody point me to a simple extension that uses this mechanism correctly?, cheers, Bernhard _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list To unsubscribe, go to: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
