A commenting system for MediaWiki
- Echo: This is required for FlowThread to work
- Avatar: This is optional, but it can provide avatar feature to FlowThread.
- Clone the respository, rename it to FlowThread and copy to extensions folder
- Add
wfLoadExtension('FlowThread');to your LocalSettings.php - Run the update script
- You are done!
- All configurations are stored in
$wgFlowThreadConfig$wgFlowThreadConfig['AnonymousAvatar'](string), should be set to the URL of the avatar for non-registered user.$wgFlowThreadConfig['Avatar'](string), should be set to the URL of the avatar for registered user. You can use ${username} as a placeholder for user's name. Please note that you need to use single quotes ('') to include the placeholder, otherwise PHP will substitute it right away.$wgFlowThreadConfig['MaxNestLevel'](int): Default to 3, this restricted max level of nested reply.
- In old versions, we do not enforce POST method on APIs that require database write. This will be changed in the future. To allow migration,
$wgFlowThreadEnforcePostis introduced to control this behaviour. It is current defaulted to false, but will later be changed to true. - You can set user rights:
- comment: User need this right to post
- commentadmin-restricted: User need this right to do basic management of comments
- commentadmin: User need this right to do full management of comments
- FlowThread itself does not provide avatar feature, but it creates an extensible interface to allow other extensions/service to provide avatar for FlowThread.
- See the above section to know how to configure this extension.
- When the extension needs to show an avatar of a non-registered user, aka a IP user, it will use DefaultAvatarURL.
- When the extension needs to show an avatar of a registered user, it will use AvatarURL and replace all occurrence of ${username} to the user's actual username.
