Not sure why it's not working. As a general comment that guide sucks, and I suggest to not use it. You shouldn't need to edit EditPage to add new toolbar items, just tweak mwEditButtons[] and mwCustomEditButtons[] in your site JS (I don't have a link to a guide on that offhand). > 2) Set the predicate (preg_match) to zero in Parser.php (689) [it still > parses it as a table] I really don't understand why you'd be doing that. It doesn't make any sense, and tweaking the Parser is certainly not something I'd recommend for someone just starting out trying to hack MW. > 3) removed all the content of index.php !!

Read through the documentation on [1] for starters. The various pages linked on [2] are probably also really helpful. As a general rule of thumb, I would suggest avoiding documentation from Meta. It's usually really outdated and sometimes completely wrong. We document everything on Mediawiki.org now, so you're best off checking there to answer more of your questions. -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
