Summary: Must check $wgEnableEmail before showing ANY email
related preferences
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: User preferences
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
It is very important that you test $wgEnableEmail before showing the
user ANY email related preferences.
Or else we
* make the user think the wiki has features enabled but in fact they
are disabled.
* cause some users to type in personal information that we DO NOT want to
collect, and is only useful for disabled features.
Please read the definition of $wgEnableEmail in DefaultSettings.php.
The following quick workaround in Preferences.php merely shows you where the
test should be. You still
will need to eliminate duplication within it, and of course test, which I
haven't.
